TLDR
Understanding research productivity is a quintessential need for performance evaluations in the realm of evaluative scientometrics, as well as establishing benchmarks in research evaluation and implementing all-factor productivity.Abstract:
The combination of a variety of inputs (both tangible and intangible) enables the numerous outputs in varying degrees to realize the research productivity. To select appropriate metrics and translate into the practical situation through empirical design is a cumbersome task. A single indicator cannot work well in different situations, but selecting the 'most suitable' one from dozens of indicators is very confusing. Nevertheless, establishing benchmarks in research evaluation and implementing all-factor productivity is almost impossible. Understanding research productivity is, therefore, a quintessential need for performance evaluations in the realm of evaluative scientometrics. Many enterprises evaluate the research performance with little understanding of the dynamics of research and its counterparts. Evaluative scientometrics endorses the measures that emerge during the decision-making process through relevant metrics and indicators expressing the organizational dynamics. Evaluation processes governed by counting, weighting, normalizing, and then comparing seem trustworthy.read more

Productivity Differences Among Scientists: Evidence for Accumulative Advantage
Paul D. Allison,John Stewart +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the distribution of productivity becomes increasingly unequal as a cohort of scientists ages, and that this increase is highly associated with a changing distribution of time spent on research.

Publication Productivity among Scientists: A Critical Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors scrutinized the literature on correlates and determinants of publication productivity among scientists and concluded that publication is a critical assessment of research productivity through publication among scientists.

Citation time window choice for research impact evaluation
TL;DR: There are significant differences in citation ageing between different research fields, document types, total citation counts, and publication months, and within group differences are more striking; many papers in the slowest ageing field may still age faster than many books in the fastest ageing field.

How do you define and measure research productivity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a measure of research productivity called fractional scientific strength (FSS), in keeping with the microeconomic theory of production, and compare the ranking lists of Italian universities by the two definitions of productivity and show the limits of the commonly accepted definition.

Assessing university research: A plea for a balanced approach
TL;DR: This paper argued that the role of metrics is as a trigger to the recognition of anomalies, rather than as a straight replacement for peer review, and that peer review must be retained as a central element in any research assessment exercise.
