Methodology: how we defined “strengths” Definition

①：

”Publication” Leadership

• “Share” of number of publications by researchers from NCU is relatively high compared to other universities publishing papers in the same research area

Definition

②：

”Reference” Leadership

• “Share” of citations gained by papers published by researchers from NCU is relatively high compared to other universities publishing papers in the same research area

Definition

③：

”State-of-the-Art” Leadership

• State-of-the-Art (SOA) helps to measure thought leadership by indicating the “recentness” of articles cited by the institution’s articles within each research area

Defined as “Competency” if researchers from NCU are #1 or #2 in either of the three definitions in the research area

Research Strength and Focus Areas of NCU

SOCIAL SCIENCE HUMANITIES HEALTH SCIENCE COMPUTER SCIENCE BRAIN RESEARCH MEDICINE Interdisciplinary Research Areas MATH & PHYSICS CHEMISTRY ENGINEERING  NCU is already leading these specific competencies or is on the edge of becoming leader  • Most of „interdisciplinary bubbles” do have blue bar Chemistry has the highest degree of inter disciplinarity and connects several fields such as Medicine, Engineering, Biotechnology  • Research Strength Math&Physics, Chemistry, Medicine and Biology/Biotechnology EARTH SCIENCE INFECTIOUS DISEASE BIOLOGY BIOTECHNOLOGY Data source: SciVal Spotlight Map 2010, SciVerse Scopus – 15 th November 2011

Article Output per Subject Area

• 18.5% of published articles are within Math&Physics, however Math&Physics contribute to 35% of the competency articles • Medicine (Health Sciences, Med. Specialities, Brain Research, Health ciences) contribute 41.2% to publications vs. 22.9% to competencies Data source: SciVal Spotlight Map 2010, SciVerse Scopus – 15 th November 2011

Table View of Compentencies

 • NCU is publishing heavily and very recent in their Research Strength 20 Research Strength with Publication Leadership, 21 with Innovation Leadership  Publication Impact in terms of citations is rather low (5 Citation Leadership) Data source: SciVal Spotlight Map 2010, SciVerse Scopus – 15 th November 2011

Polish publications: Top 12 contributing institutions

• • • NCU contributes to 3.5% of all polish articles Citations per Article (CPA) of NCU shows usual pattern of low international collaboration • • High degree of international co-authorship is related with higher citation counts Strong focus on medicine corresponds with high citation numbers as well 31% of articles are co-authored international, however only 26% are co-authored with Top publishing countries Data source: SciVal Spotlight Map 2010, SciVerse Scopus – 15 th November 2011

International Collaboration

Conclusions

 NCU is publishing heavily and has good recency in terms of referenced papers  However, citation impact is the area for improvement  2/3 of NCU Competencies are in growing fields (article output increases annually worldwide)  NCU has less competencies than Warsaw and Jagiellonian universities, but normalization per 100 Researchers shows excellent rate of competencies in comparison with peers   Warsaw and Jagiellonian are most prolific and most effective Research Organisations NCU similar to Wroclaw and AMU in article output, but due to quality of reseach and diversity shows more competencies than both of them Data source: SciVal Spotlight Map 2010, SciVerse Scopus – 15 th November 2011
