随着研究成为一项日益全球化的活动，人们对不同国家和地区的标准和质量的国家和国际比较越来越感兴趣。这一趋势的一个标志是，人们越来越关注根据大学的研究表现进行排名，无论是在科学环境内外。本文提出的新方法，使我们能够使用免费提供的程序来绘制世界各地的卓越中心。基于Scopus数据，可以在最近发表高引用论文的地区和城市识别和聚集特定领域的卓越。绩效率的差异可以通过标记的颜色和大小在地图上直观显示。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
As research becomes an ever more globalized activity, there is growing interest in national and international comparisons of standards and quality in different countries and regions. A sign for this trend is the increasing interest in rankings of universities according to their research performance, both inside but also outside the scientific environment. New methods presented in this paper, enable us to map centers of excellence around the world using programs that are freely available. Based on Scopus data, field-specific excellence can be identified and agglomerated in regions and cities where recently highly cited papers were published. Differences in performance rates can be visualized on the map using colours and sizes of the marks. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
