A Scientometric Evaluation of 50 Greek Science and Engineering University Departments using Google Scholar

Abstract

In this paper, the scientometric evaluation of faculty members of 50 Greek Science and Engineering University Departments is presented. 1978 academics were examined in total. The number of papers, citations, h-index and i10-index have been collected for each academic, department, school and university using Google Scholar and the citations analysis program Publish or Perish. Analysis of the collected data showed that departments of the same academic discipline are characterized by significant differences on the scientific outcome. In addition, in the majority of the evaluated departments a significant difference in h-index between academics who report scientific activity on the departments' website and those who do not was observed. Moreover, academics who earned their PhD

Impact and Productivity of PhD Graduates of Computer Science/Engineering Departments of Hellenic Universities

“…Vassis (179) Makris ( 23) Miritzis ( 23) Tsohou ( 23) Damopoulos ( 144) Kollias (21) Makris ( 136) Karopoulos (19) Kolias (128) Pliakas (18) Tsohou (120) Finally, Table 25 presents the top-50 PhDs based on impact. As expected we will recognize many current faculty members in national or international universities being in the top positions of this list.…”

“…There exist several articles whose focus is the evaluation of Hellenic universities faculty's research quality using bibliometric data. After our pioneering work [12], many articles evaluated national departments of computer science/engineering [3], [21] (or international [2], [7]), national chemical engineering departments [14], [17], national civil engineering departments [13], economics departments [11], medical schools [15], or national and international departments from various -such as pedagogical, technological, political science, sociology, marketing -disciplines [3], [20], [26], [27].…”

Using scientometrics to estimate publication activity in modern Russia

“…Государственные органы и вузовская/ институтская администрации задают количественные наукометрические параметры сверху, обычно никак не подкрепляя их аргументами и предварительными расчётами. Поэтому, прежде чем спускать нормативные документы с наукометрическими показателями, руководству наукой на всех уровнях следует помнить, что методики их расчёта несовершенны и не могут полностью заменить экспертную оценку [28, [32]. Google Scholar обычно оперативнее и полнее отслеживает ссылки на работы российских учёных, чем другие ББД.…”
