利用合作地圖與個人論文散佈圖評估學者的研究等級與分類

作者個人論文集的散點圖已在學術界作為評量研究人員學術貢獻的工具。然而，利用合作地圖來檢視學者的研究分級，仍顯不足。本研究利用評定研究論文檔案的方法，示範四位作者的合作地圖，以分級其研究的成果。作者的論文資料係下載自科學網（Web of Science），利用其合作地圖與作者個人論文集的散點圖，呈現其學術研究的成果。由A（優秀）到F（依其第一或通訊作者的論文為根據）的六個等級，再分為兩類：領導者ABC和追隨者123。結果顯示，四位作者的合作地圖，分類出：一位落在追隨者1，一位進人領導者B，兩位列為領導者A。學者李友專教授的論文散點圖，呈現其h指數38，X指數55.57，學門指數0.11，論文篇數為291，及其集群個數為179。研究發現：合作地圖和個人論文散點圖，可以作為描述作者學術產出的工具。學者可以被分為六個等級和兩個層次（即領導者與追隨者），輔助傳統的學術職稱（教授、副教授和助理教授）的分類，與僅是論文表列於綢頁。合作地圖與論文散點圖的結合，對作者學術成果的評估，提供一個新穎的方法。

The concept of Impact Beam Plots (IBPs) has been recognized in the academic community as a means to evaluate the academic contributions of researchers. However, the use of collaboration maps to closely examine the research levels of scholars has been inadequate. This study demonstrates a method for rating research profiles by presenting collaboration maps for four authors to categorize their research outcomes. Using data from the Web of Science, the study presented the academic achievements of these authors through collaboration maps and IBPs. The authors were graded on a scale from A (excellent) to F (no articles as first or corresponding author), and their research profiles were further divided into two groups: Leaders ABC and Followers 123. The classification of studied authors showed one in Follower 1, one in Leader B, and two in Leader A. A notable IBP of Professor Yu- Chuan Lin showed an h-index of 38, x-index of 55.57, discipline index of 0.11, with a total of 291 publications and a cluster count of 179. The study found that collaborative maps and IBPs can effectively represent an author's scholarly work. Scholars are assigned one of six grades and one of two levels (Leader or Follower), providing an enhancement to traditional academic titles (Professor, Associate Professor, and Assistant Professor) and the mere listing of publications on websites. The integration of collaborative maps and IBPs, together with bibliometric indicators, provides a novel approach to assessing the contributions and impact of scholars in the scholarly community.
