Abstract

Universities and accompanying faculties, competing to ensure the highest possible quality and status, face the challenge of being continuously evaluated and ranked, both internally and externally. One of the many criteria in such evaluation is the assessment of key performance indicators (KPIs) vis-à-vis published research papers. The general aim of this paper is the definition of a formal KPI evaluation framework for assessing the research publications (published papers and books), written by researchers in universities, faculties, and other research-oriented institutions. It is accomplished in two steps: (1) by proposing a conceptual and logical design of a generic relational database that can provide a solid foundation for acquisition and management of all relevant data related to research publications, based on the projected corresponding Enhanced Entity-Relationship (EE-R) diagram (a conceptual design) and the resulting relational database schema (a logical design); and (2) by addressing relevant KPIs via Structured Query Language (SQL) scripts/queries using the standard SQL notation against the resultant relational design. Since the proposed framework is both generic and platform-independent, it can be easily implemented in various relational database management systems (DBMSs) to provide significant insights into the research performances of the academic staff vis-à-vis their published research publications.
