The findings indicate that in the ten years, IMCB produced 395 research papers, 33 book chapters, 24 conference papers, and 4 monographs, graduated 46 PhDs and 14 MScs, and filed 10 patents.
Abstract
Abstract This paper describes results of a scientometric study of the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB). The purpose of the study is to evaluate the research performance of IMCB in the first ten years since its establishment. Research inputs and three research outputs - publications, graduate students, and patents filed, are examined. The findings indicate that in the ten years, IMCB produced 395 research papers, 33 book chapters, 24 conference papers, and 4 monographs, graduated 46 PhDs and 14 MScs, and filed 10 patents. In its quest to become world-class, IMCB researchers have been very selective in where they publish - 95.6% of the articles were published in ISI journals. The articles received an average of 25 to 35 citations per article, and the percentage of uncited articles is 11.6%. Four articles received more than 200 citations, and 18 received between 100 to 200 citations.

The citational variability between articles in a journal is less (semilog linearity) than in the corresponding field as a whole, suggesting that each journal represents a select, stratified sample of the field.

It is argued that, if certain preconditions are met, the choice of citation rate is not critical, and the citation record of research publications appearing in journals indexed by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) is a useable surrogate for the citationrecord within ISI journals of all model of publication.

It is demonstrated how, on the basis of an analysis of the factors that have structured research performance in the past, it is possible to arrive at a systematic set of conclusions about the future prospects for a major new research facility such as an accelerator.

The sum of the individual weighted scores representing special aspects of the total activity yields a General Performance Index (GPI) which, together with a thorough peer review, may be used for distributing grants.

This first generation of German research evaluation studies should be viewed more as examplifying interesting methodological approaches than as offering definitive and clear-cut conclusions, Nevertheless some important lessons have been learnt from fifteen years of studies on university research performance evaluation.

Each review, to a variable extent, forms a comprehensive, reasonably up‐to‐date, single source of both didactic and bibliographic information which by its very nature provides an impressive time‐saving tool, particularly for the user searching for information in a somewhat unfamiliar area.

A bibliometric analysis was made of an area of veterinary research, avian virology, in the context of seeking quantitative indicators to assist research evaluation for the UK Agricultural and Food Research Council (AFRC), and it is suggested that further studies on journal-based indicators are warranted.
