Abstract:
We carried out a research performance analysis of
leading higher education institutions in Malaysia
using bibliometric data from the latest (2014) release
of the Scimago Institutions Rankings (SIR). We tracked
the complete performance chain: input–output–excellence–
outcome–productivity using indicators that represent
quantity, quality and productivity dimensions.
The quantity dimensions are size-dependent, whereas
the quality and productivity dimensions are sizeindependent.
The largest active institutions, the most
productive institutions and the fastest improving
institutions over the period 2009–2014 were also
identified.
