Indicators

Acad staff int / Acad staff

The proportion of the academic faculty who are international. This is an indicator of the institution’s ability to attract staff from a global environment.

  • Source: Institutional data collection
  • Value: The number of international academic staff divided by the number of academic staff.

Acad staff / Stdnt

This is sometimes referred to as a staff-student-ratio and is an indication of the student environment.

  • Source: Institutional data collection
  • Value: The number of academic staff divided by the total number of students.

Doctoral degree / Acad staff norm

An indication of how successful the institution is at producing doctorates scaled against the number of academic staff.

  • Source: Institutional data collection
  • Value: The number of doctoral degrees awarded divided by the number of academic staff and then normalized by subject as described above.

Doctoral degree / Undergrad degree

An indication of which end of the education spectrum the institution focuses.

  • Source: Institutional data collection
  • Value: The number of doctoral degrees awarded divided by the number of undergraduate degrees awarded.

Inst income / Acad staff

Institutional income scaled against the numbers of academic staff, to give an indication of how well resourced an institution is regardless of its size.

  • Source: Institutional data collection
  • Value: The total institutional income divided by the number of academic staff.

Category normalized citation impact - country / region adj

This is a modification of the category normalized citation impact to take into account the country/region where the institution is based. This reflects the fact that some regions will have different publication and citation behavior because of factors such as policy, language and size of the research network.

In the standard IC dataset, CNCI is calculated using baselines based on category, document type and year of publication. The CNCI used in Institutional Profiles, however, only uses the Web of Science category and year of publication; the baseline does not vary by document type in Institutional Profiles.

However, in the standard IC dataset, the CNCI can be calculated for all documents, regardless of their type. For Institutional Profiles, we only use Articles and Reviews when calculating the CNCI.

  • Source: Bibliometric analysis
  • Value: This indicator is calculated as the category normalized citation impact of the institution divided by the square root of the category normalized citation impact of the country in which it is based.

Papers / Acad and res staff - norm

The institution’s research output scaled by the number of academic and research staff. As research output is expected to be higher in the sciences than the arts, this is normalized by subject.

  • Value: The number of papers divided by the total number of academic and research staff combined and then normalized by subject as described above.

Papers int co-author / Papers

This is an indicator of the institution’s ability to collaborate in a global environment.

  • Source: Bibliometric analysis
  • Value: The proportion of the papers authored by the institution that contains a co-author from a country/region other than the country/region in which the institution is based.

Res income / Acad staff - norm

Research income scaled against the academic staff, to give an indication of how well resourced an institution is regardless of its size. It is also an indication of the academic staff’s ability to attract research funding. As research income is expected to be higher in the sciences than the arts, this is normalized by subject.

  • Source: Institutional data collection
  • Value: The total research income divided by the number of academic staff and then normalized by subject as described above

Res income ind / Acad staff

Research income from industry scaled against the number of academic staff to give an indication of how successful an institution is at acquiring income from industry regardless of its size.

Stdnt int / Stdnt

The proportion of the students who are international, irrespective of their level of study. This is an indicator of the institution’s ability to attract students from a global environment.

  • Source: Institutional data collection
  • Value: The number of international students divided by the number of students.
