The bibliometric quotient (BQ), or how to measure a researcher’s performance capacity: A Bayesian Poisson Rasch model
作者:
Highlights:
• Researcher`s performance capacity is the competency to publish influencing papers.
• The Bayesian Poisson Rasch model provides for a measurement model of competency.
• Unlike bibliometric indicators measurement assumptions can be empirically tested.
• For each researcher (N = 254) a “Bibliometric Quotient” (BQ) was estimated.
• Elder researchers showed higher BQ scores than younger ones (academic age).
