  1. The PBRF and bibliometric measures

  2. Introduction • Use of bibliometrics by the Ministry of Education • Part 1 – presentation of latest bibliometric results • Part 2 – what if bibliometrics was used to allocate PBRF funding? – a case study

  3. Bibliometrics • Thomson Reuters bibliometrics dataset • Reasonably stable • Long time series • External to the PBRF system – can triangulate and calibrate • International benchmarking • Limitations of bibliometrics • Useful monitoring tool • But don’t see bibliometrics as a way of dispensing research funding at this time

  4. Bibliometrics measures – NZ universities • Share of world publications • Share of world citations • Relative impact: (citations per paperNZ universities) (citations per paperworld)

  13. What if citations were used to allocate PBRF funding? • Case study – Earth Science • Method • Compare funding allocated to each university in 2007 via the PBRF quality evaluation with what would have been allocated if based on citations

  14. Funding via the PBRF 2007

  15. Funding via relative impact in 2007 • Relative impact in five year overlapping time periods • Use three year weighted average • 1999-2003 (15%) • 2000-2004 (35%) • 2001-2005 (50%) • Then adjust by PBRF FTE

  17. Comparing PBRF scores and weighted relative impact

  18. Comparing funding allocations 2007

  19. Issues • Capturing all indexed research vs 4 nominated research outputs • Size of NZ subject areas

  20. University staffing trends

  21. Ministry of Education monitoring • Ministry of Education reports assessing research performance can be found at the Education Counts website: www.educationcounts.govt.nz
