Rules of the Game (2004 round)
As every approach to setting up a Top list seems to be
debatable (there is no such thing as a 'perfect list'!),
one should realize that along this way some - probably equally
relevant - scientific output is not being measured. Therefore
the Top-40 list should be understood as being indicative
for ISI output only.
Who is included in the Top-40 list?
- Economists who publish in relevant ISI journals, and
who graduated from a Dutch university ('Ph.D.') Their
affiliation is of no interest (can be anywhere in the
world).
- Economists who publish in relevant ISI journals, and
who graduated from a university outside The Netherlands.
They must have an affiliation with one of the participating
Dutch universities and/or institutions, for at least 50%
in total. Reference date for the current Top lists is
set at January 1, 2004.
Which articles are included?
Only the following ISI publication types (1998-20021)
are included: 'articles', 'letters', 'notes'
and 'reviews' (but not 'book reviews'). All other
ISI publication types, such as '(meeting) abstracts', 'corrections'
and 'editorials' are NOT included.
Which formulas are used?
Top-40 of Economists:
Pi = w authors * w impact
Where
- Pi is the score of publication i
- w authorsis defined as
| 2 |
| --------------- |
| 1 + number of authors |
- and w impact is defined as the weighted
and normalized impact factor for the journal2
Adding up the scores of each publication gives the individual
score of each author.
Top-10 of economics departments of Dutch universities/institutes:
| |
w impact
* fte |
| Pi = |
--------------- |
| |
a(pi) |
where
- Pi is the score of publication i
- w impact is defined as the weighted
and normalized impact factor for the journal
- fte=part time factor of the author (i.e. percentage
of his or her time the author is affiliated with this
department/institute (0-100%))
- a(pi)=#authors of publication i
Adding up the scores of all authors affiliated to a specific
university/institute gives the scores of all universities/institutes.
Which output is achieved?
- Top-40 of Economists, consisting of names of authors,
affiliation, total score over 1998-2002.
- Top-10 of economics departments of Dutch universities/institutes,
consisting of names of universities/institutes, total
score of its affiliated authors (corrected for part time
factors) over 1998-2002.
- "Tip parade" of Economists, consisting of names of authors,
affiliation, total score of publications in 2002
