TL;DR
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.
Abstract
Activities of research institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences were assessed multidimensionally. Taking into accountgoals and tasks of the institutes,weighted scientometric indicators were suggested. The weights of the individual indexes weredistributed among the institutes by the values of their indicators. The sum of the individual weighted scores representing special aspects of the total activity yields aGeneral Performance Index (GPI) which, together with a thorough peer review, may be used for distributing grants.

A new bibliometric indicator, “relative subfield impact”, is introduced which compares the number of citations received by papers of a research unit to the average sub field impact factor.

In order to evaluate publication activity both qualitatively and quantitatively, relative citation indicators can be recommended, which relate citations received to the sum of impact factors of the journals, where the papers were published or give the relative measure of the average citedness of papers related to that of papers in journals in a similar subfield.

The findings indicate that publishing in journals with relatively high impact factor is a necessary but not sufficient condition for attaining a high RW index.

The difference is studied between an average of quotients, denoted as AQ, and a global average, obtained as a quotient of averages, and denoting as GQ, which becomes the average impact factor of a field and GQ becomes its global impact factor.
