ABSTRACT:       The most used scientific evaluation parameters today are:
1) The impact factor (IF) of scientific journals in which the papers of researchers, and their collaborators, are published and 2) The so-called H-factor which is used to evaluate the work of individual scientists. We explore in detail these particular parameters. Also we briefly discuss alternative forms of assessment in the modern age.

KEYWORDS+:       NETWORKS

ABSTRACT:       In this paper we propose a weighted multi-hypergraph as
logical structure to model relationships between researchers and interest groups that join them on the base of shared research topics in a given scientific community. The well known concept of eingenvector centrality for graphs is extended to weighted multi-hypergraphs and we present a model instantiation for centrality analysis in the Pro-VE scientific community.

ABSTRACT:       In order to develop world-class research-oriented
universities in China, we need to build up the corresponding reasonable and advanced system for academic management so as to better motivate researchers and fulfill their potentials. In this paper, by the comparisons of the academic management system of several developed countries, and based on the practical situations in China, we present some reflections and advices for our existing systems to make it suitable to fit a real topnotch research-oriented university.
