FEBRI criteria for output assessment
General Requirements |
||||
To qualify for a (associate) fellow status of FEB's Research Institute (FEBRI), a faculty member of FEB has
Researchers qualifying for research time are expected to publish in journals in the field of Economics and Business. When journals outside those fields are used and lead to disproportional amounts of credits being earned, measures may be taken by the vice-dean research based on the advice of the scientific committee. Every year (in the spring) the Research Office checks whether or not researchers meet the criteria, and establishes, in cooperation with the programme directors and the faculty board, the corresponding percentage of the research time for the upcoming academic year. New researchers, who aspire a status, need a formal decision by the vice-dean research based on the advice of the scientific committee. |

AIP score
|
||||
To measure journal quality an AIP score will be used. This AIP score is the average AIP of the last five years with a moving window. We have calculated the AIP scores as folllows. Calculations have been based on information about the Article Influence Scores (AIS) of all journals mentioned in the SSCI and/or SCIE databases. This information has been retrieved from the ISI web of knowledge website (additional resources → journal citation reports). There are some journals which appear both in the SSCI and SCIE databases with the same AIS score (e.g. Econometrica). We have removed those duplicates so that every journal appears once in the dataset. Then we compute the Article Influence Score Percentile (AIP). The AIP of a specific journal is determined by its relative rank in the overall distribution of all AIS scores. Ties are taken into account: the same AIP score is assigned to journals which have exactly the same AIS score. An AIP score will not be assigned to journals which don’t have an AIS score. |

Correction for part-time appointment and other specific situations |
||||
If someone has a part-time appointment the criteria are adjusted as follows:
Correction for part-time appointment only applies to researchers who do not have another appointment at UoG, another university or a research institution. If someone has less time available during a certain period due to specific situations like illness or maternity leave the required number of points will be adjusted, upon request to the Research Office |
||||
Corresponding research time |
||||
An individual’s research time is determined by the number of credits, using the following cut-off values:
|

Validity |

These criteria were approved by the faculty board represented by the vice-dean research on May 1, 2021. |

* Book reviews are not included. Other short journal publications - including editorials (for edited special issues), comments, very short notes, etc. - may qualify for inclusion provided they make a sufficient scientific contribution. Judgements are to be made by the vice-dean research. The number of pages is of no consequence for the credits attributed.
