论文数量和引文量被广泛用作各种情况下的研究能力指标，如研究机构的比较和研究人员的绩效评估。然而，众所周知，这些天真的指数有很大的学科差异，使得它们很难跨学科边界应用。尽管研究评估工具已经提供了各种标准化的引文指数，但还没有建立被广泛接受的论文数量指数，尽管这个数字在研究业绩衡量标准中具有重要意义。在本文中，我们提出了一个归一化的论文数量指数，以实现对研究能力的公平比较。其核心思想是将工作效率的概念引入到出版生产率的量化中。我们进一步考察了归一化对我所出版数据的影响。标准化导致每个学科的论文总数与出版强度成反比。两个主要的文献计量学数据库在人口稠密、领域覆盖面相似的学科中的出版生产力方面也得到了类似的结果。Bootstrap分析表明，需要200-300的样本大小才能获得统计上显著的出版生产率。
The number of papers and number of citations have been widely used as indices for research capability in various situations, such as the comparison of research institutions and performance evaluation of researchers. However, it is well known that these naive indices have large disciplinary variations, making them difficult to apply across disciplinary boundaries. Although various normalized citation indices have been provided by research assessment tools, no widely accepted indices have been established for the number of papers despite this number’s significance in research performance metrics. In the present paper, we propose a normalized index for the number of papers to enable a fair comparison of research capability. A key idea is to introduce the concept of work efficiency into the quantification of publication productivity. We further investigate the effects of normalization on the publication data of our institute. The normalization resulted in a relative change in the total number of papers in inverse relation to publication intensity in each discipline. Similar results were obtained between two major bibliometric databases for the publication productivity in well-populated disciplines with similar field coverage. Bootstrap analysis revealed that a sample size of 200-300 is required to obtain statistically significant publication productivity.
