The Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities was a ranking system of 500 world universities by scientific paper volume, impact, and performance output. The ranking was published by the Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan (HEEACT)〔 http://www.heeact.edu.tw/mp.asp?mp=2〕 The project employed bibliometric methods to analyze and rank the scientific paper performance. In addition to the overall ranking, HEEACT publisheda list of the top 300 universities by six fields and ten subjects of science and technology. 〔http://ranking.heeact.edu.tw/en-us/2010%20by%20Subject/Page/Background 〕 The rankings were introduced in 2007. The original ranking methodology favored toward universities with medical schools. In 2008, HEEACT began publishing a "Field Based Ranking" including six fields: agriculture and environmental sciences (AGE), clinical medicine (MED), engineering, computing, and technology (ENG), life sciences (LIFE), natural sciences (SCI), and social sciences (SOC).〔 http://ranking.heeact.edu.tw/en-us/2010%20by%20field/page/methodology〕 In 2010, HEEACT began publishing subject rankings in fields of various field of science and technology. Science fields are divided into physics, chemistry, mathematics, and geosciences. Technology fields are split up into electrical engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering (including energy and fuels), materials science, and civil engineering (including environmental engineering). HEEACT ended the Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities Project in 2012. Due to disagreement about ranking results, the Taiwanese education authorities announced that the government would no longer support the Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan to do this ranking.〔(Taiwan refuse to continue supporting the HEEACT ranking )〕 == Methodology == The HEEACT rankings used the following criteria: * Research productivity (weighed 20%)—The number of published articles of the last 11 years (10%) and the number of articles of the current year (10%). * Research impact (weighed 30%)—Number of citations of the last 11 years (10%), the number of citations of the last two years (10%), and the ''average'' number of citations of the last 11 years (10%). * Research excellence (weighed 40%)—The h-index of the last two years (20%), the number of highly cited papers (15%), and the number of articles of the current year in high-impact journals (15%). Quantitative data were drawn from Science Citation Index (SCI) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). The data were normalized by faculty number to account for different institution sizes. The indicators used in this methodology highly emphasized research quality (80% of the performance score) and short-term research performance (55% of the score). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
