Studies on Utilizing the Three Famous International Index Systems to Evaluate Scientific Research Level of Higher Learning Institutions

摘要

Science Citation Index (SCI), The Engineering Index (EI), and Index to Scientific & Technical Proceeding (ISTP) are widely accepted and used to evaluate the scientific research level of higher learning institutions by many countries' science and technology field currently. After research, the authors point out the blemishes in this method and put forward the problems that need to be noticed, and then, under current conditions, bringforward brand-new standards and methods to estimate research level, efficiency, and fund exploitation. One shouldn't over-emphasize the total amount of papers collected in SCI, EI & ISTP when evaluating the scientific research level of higher learning institutions, whereas using 'comprehensive factor' analysis method can make it more scientific and efficient.
