ISI 论文 Citations,加国大学科研水平

根据ISI提供的主要学科论文Citations的情况,结束加拿大大学科研水平排名的争议
-----------------------------------------------------------------
比较符合学术界对加拿大大学学术水平的印象。ISI 的 Web of Science网站就是国内通常所说的SCI论文检索网站,是目前世界上最有影响力的学术论文评价机构。
高水平学术论文数量和被引次数是评价一个学校学术水平最重要的指标。从学术论文上来看,UT, UBC, Mcgill 执加拿大学术研究之牛耳:
UT: 25,883 papers indexed
UBC: 14,819 papers indexed
McGill: 13,996 papers indexed
UT:
研究生在校人数: 9,500(full time) + 2,428(part time) Faculty在校人数: 3,000 (?)

UBC:
研究生数量: 8,000 Faculty数量:4,000
McGill:
研究生数量: 9,160 Faculty数量:5,000
学校声誉主要来自三个方面:教育质量,学术研究水平和校友声誉。
教育质量:
加拿大前20所公立大学,都差不多,所以争论谁的本科质量好没有太大意义。本科,到哪里去读都差不多。如果论个人素质,有能力在北美进UT或者MIT读本科的高中生,如果在中国,他们未必能考得上清华北大或者复旦交大。虽然清华北大本科师资没有加拿大大学好,但是如果我将来能在北美做教授,要招几个研究生帮我干活的话,我肯定优先招收清华北大毕业的本科生,而不是UT毕业的本科生。只要个人素质好,语言和知识基础方面的欠缺可以很快弥补过来。
学术水平:来自于该校师生发表的高水平paper数量,吸引的research funding 和知名教授的数量
校友声誉:取决于历史长短,历史悠久的学校肯定杰出校友多。
比较学校,不要总是拿本校某个专业如何杰出来说事,因为一个学校往往有上百个专业。如果真要比较,还是要在几个大学科之间比较客观:如理工类,人文和艺术类等等。如果只拿单个专业来说,哈尔滨船舶工程学院的水声无线电专业肯定比清华强,但是如果你因此而认为清华的综合声誉或者它的理工学科排在哈船院后面,我想全国人民都会笑了。

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO TOPS RANKINGS OF CANADIAN RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES
University of Western Ontario and University of British Columbia also make strong showings

Philadelphia, PA USA-London UK - September 27, 2005 - Based on impact (or average citations per paper) and total citations, the University of Toronto is the “top performer” in multiple fields among Canadian research universities. This is according to the September/October issue of Science Watch—the bi-monthly newsletter published by Thomson Scientific, a business of The Thomson Corporation.
The Science Watch study uses the Thomson Scientific University Science Indicators to examine the research of 46 Canadian universities in 21 scientific fields spanning 2000 to 2004.
Between 2000 and 2004, the University of Toronto produced the most work—25,883 papers published in journals indexed by Thomson Scientific. The University of British Columbia produced the second highest number of papers, 14,819; while McGill University published 13,996.
n total citations, the University of Toronto topped 15 fields: chemistry; materials science; engineering; space science; mathematics; ecology/environment; clinical medicine; immunology; biology and biochemistry; molecular biology/genetics; neurosciences; pharmacology; psychology/psychiatry; education; and economics and business. The University of British Columbia ranked first in four fields: physics; geosciences; plant and animal science; and microbiology.
