  • We introduce a new research assessment measure, called the research excellence index. The measure, which we denote by RE-index, accurately assesses the research performance of a researcher. The methodology used in deriving the RE-index tackles many of the flaws of popular research performance indicators such as publication counts, citation counts, and the h and g indices. A dataset is introduced, which takes advantage of the wide coverage of Scopus and the Library of Congress, and, at the same time, deals with the Scopus database depth problem. For an academic publication x, a prestige-type and length scores are assigned, and if x is published in an academic periodical publication J, the stature of J is identified through a quartile score. The three scores are used to assign a value score to every academic publication, and cited academic publications are given citation scores that encompass both cases of including and excluding self-citations. The foregoing scores are used to derive another set of scores measuring the combined qualitative and quantitative aspects of the creative work, citations of creative work, informative work and citations of informative work of a researcher. The scores take into consideration co-authorship. From these scores, two versions of the RE-index for a researcher are derived, covering the cases of including and excluding self-citations. The new measure is calculated for two mathematicians.

  • A researcher, who is a member of an academic society, is required to write a report on his or her research and present it at an academic workshop in order to have the contents of the research recognized by others. In order to do that, the researcher frequently has to look up the web pages of each workshop for information such as the submission deadline, paper information, announcements and news. On the other hand, the academic society mostly relies on e-mail or bulletin board to send information about itself to its members to inform its members about its latest news or developments. A system where the researcher can gain all the information required through just a single click and the academic society can provide its members with the necessary information through a simple step is required for the ease of both side. We will take a look at the domestic status of researches being done on such systems where the RSS standard has been applied and suggest a RSS-based dissemination model where the concept of personalization has been applied to satisfy the needs of the individual user.

  • Various human resource information of the world can be found according to spread of social network such as facebook and twitter. There are an amounts of researcher information on the science and technology area but it is difficult to find a suitable researcher for research or business such as research partner, because researcher information is not systematically arranged. To solver this problem, we are constructing authority data system for science and technology based on authority information of overseas academic papers. In this paper, in order to construct the authority data, we extracts author identification elements from millions of overseas academic papers, which are published from 1994 to 2012. There are more than 50 author identification elements such as author name, affiliation, paper title, publisher, year, keywords, co-author, co-author's affiliation in Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese. We construct the element database by extracting and storing an author identification information based on the elements from overseas academic papers. Future works includes that the authority database for overseas academic papers is constructed by storing an academic activities of researchers after author clustering with these extracted elements. The authority data is used to improve the researcher information utilization and activate community to find a suitable research partner or a business examiner.

  • The research aims to test the impact of marketing culture and rational decisions in academic entrepreneurship during entrepreneurial marketing by focusing on the main problem and the challenges that Iraqi private universities face. The most important of these challenges is probably the inability of the private universities to keep pace with the development and the environmental challenges. The researcher chose 26 private Iraqi universities/colleges for the study. The sample was taken from deans, assistant deans, and heads of departments, with 310 people distributed among the various colleges. The researcher used the electronic questionnaire as a tool for collecting information. Data analysis was based on the (SPSS) and (AMOS) programs. The researchers arrived at many conclusions. The most important finding was the impact on both the marketing culture and rational decision on academic entrepreneurship through entrepreneurial marketing. The higher administration in the Iraqi private universities/colleges always strive to adhere to the marketing values, norms and traditions through a commitment to rational decisions to achieve academic entrepreneurship. The higher administrators increase their commitment and adherence to this influence by adhering to marketing entrepreneurship.

  • PBL can be defined as an active, self-directed and student-centered learning, and an opposite way of classroom teacher-centered learning which has been traditional role learning. PBL enables students think more efficiently and effectively when puzzling through the patient problems. The purpose of this study is to find out the perception of student nurse about PBL, the characteristics and the structure of the type for PBL. The research process is as follow : First, the researcher selected 35 statements for PBL with the content analysis of in depth interview and the literature review. Second, the researcher asks 38 student nurse to classify the statement cards. The result of the research is that the type of student nurse's PBL perception is divided into 4 types(Affirmative type, Negative type, Suspicious type, and Preferable type), and the explanative total variance is 44 percent. In relation to this, if PBL well combined and adapted in our traditional curriculum will change our nursing education in better direction.

  • The research about social network for analyzing human relationship has been steadily worked due to the importance in the social science field. It is also important that analyzing the relationship between researchers in the academic and research fields. Especially, the network by joint research or citation between researchers is useful to evaluating projects or making policy on academic and research fields. This paper describes a method that generates two kinds of researcher networks showing co-authorship and citation relationship between researchers based on national R&D reference information ontology. We infer pair of researchers in co-authorship or citation relationship by SPARQL query from the ontology which is composed of research outcomes and their participating researchers in RDF triples. By postprocessing, we construct researcher network which links researchers in co-authorship and citation relationship.

  • This study is to present an analysis and activation plan for the effect of reuse of research data through investigation of researchers and reuse data on reuse of research data. To this end, 178 copies were analyzed based on the distribution and collection of surveys targeting academic researchers in the field of social science in Korea who have experience in calculating new research results by reusing research data. As a result, 1) Most researchers acquire reuse data through systems such as data repositories, data management systems, and research data DBs, and mainly reuse analysis data produced through experiments and observations. In addition, despite being a researcher who successfully reused research data, the awareness of research data sharing was low and did not share it in the face of various problems. 2) The reliability and validity of 10 factors derived through literature review and factor analysis (academic usefulness, research efficiency, researcher concerns, data vulnerability, direct effort, indirect effort, suitability for reuse, data completeness, data usefulness, and social conditions) were verified. 3) As a result of correlation analysis, research efficiency, social conditions showed a quantitative correlation with research data reuse intention, researcher concerns, data vulnerability, and direct effort showed a negative correlation with research data reuse intention. As a result of regression analysis, all of these factors had a significant effect on the intention to reuse research data, and in the order of research efficiency, social conditions, direct efforts, researchers' concerns, and data vulnerability. Based on this, a plan to revitalize the reuse of research data was proposed.

  • This study aims to examine the effects of self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) on academic performance and the perceived usefulness for each elements of flipped learning. Based on their SDLR scores, 69 students were assigned to a high SDLR group and a low SDLR group. Academic performance was measured by the completion rate of a pre-class online learning and the final exam score, and perceived usefulness for each element of flipped learning was measured by a survey designed by the researcher. For academic performance, the high SDLR group showed a significantly higher completion rate than the low SDLR group, but no significant difference was observed in their final exam scores. Students in the high SDLR group perceived in-class student-centered activities as more useful than those in the low SDLR group. Additional qualitative analyses indicated that students needed more support from instructors and well-prepared peers. Finally, this study suggested that more examination on the various learning characteristics that may influence the effectiveness of flipped learning should be done.
