Some universities could require staff to achieve 2 or 3 out of these 4 indicators.

Used as a proportion of total academic staff, this indicator can assist universities in building research capacity.

This approach to indicators can also be drilled down differentially to faculties and other units within universities. 9. 7 RESEARCH OUTPUT PER ACADEMIC STAFF Description:

Number of publications and other outputs per academic staff or Full Time Equivalent (FTE. The total research output is divided by the respective number of staff.

Who is counted depends on the type of output e g. the number of Phd graduates should be related to the number of professors

whereas the number of publications might be better related to the number of all research active staff.

not all academic staff may be research active. Therefore, it is may be difficult to determine the right denominator

which need to be taken into account. 9. 9. 2 RESEARCH INCOME PER ACADEMIC STAFF Description:

Research Income Divided by the Number of Academic Staff or FTE. Pro This indicator enables assessment adjusted to the size of the knowledge cluster,

ARWU uses several comparative and seemingly objective indicators of academic or research performance, including alumni and staff winning Nobel prizes and fields medals,

and the scholarly capacity of academic staff works toward giving ARWU a relatively solid level of credibility among a broad array of higher education stakeholders, in particular, researchers and policymakers.

the WUR intends to meet the needs of consumers (students, academic staff, researchers, policy makers) seeking reliable information about universities around the world.

PRSP staff researchers identify manually the actual number of articles and citations within the SCI/SSCI to identify those produced by each individual campus. This staff-intensive approach is used also to ensure the‘highly cited ESI'calculations are representative of overall institutional quality and not an outlier.
