How to measure research efficiency in higher education? : research grants vs. publication output
Gralka, Sabine; Wohlrabe, Klaus; Bornmann, Lutz - 2018
An ongoing debate in the literature on efficiency of higher education institutions concerns the indicator for research output in the empirical analysis. While several studies chose to use the number of publications, others rely on the overall amount of research grants. The present study...
