Περίληψη
The lack of a clear method to judge a researcher’s contribution has recently [1] led to the proposal of a new metric, called Peer Reputation (PR) metric. PR ties the selectivity of a publication venue with the reputation of the first author’s institution. In [1], the authors compute PR for a number of networking research publication venues and argue that PR is a better indicator of selectivity than a venue’s Acceptance Ratio (AR). We agree that PR is an idea towards the right direction and that it offers substantial information that is missing from AR. Still, we argue in this thesis that PR is not adequate by itself in giving a solid evaluation of a researcher’s contribution. In our study, we discuss and evaluate quantitatively the points on which PR does not sufficiently serve its purpose and then we propose a new, finer-grain conference classification approach which partially incorporates PR, but aims to alleviate its shortcomings. To achieve this, we have gathered data from close to 3000 papers from 12 top-tier conferences belonging to different research fields (networking, informatics, electronics), between 2006-2011. In our work we use three different rankings of doctoral programs in USA and three world university rankings, to study how the different rankings influence our results. We believe that our approach can bring a fresh look into the current conference evaluation system.
