Panel on Reputational Measures and Data Presentation

This panel focused on:

  • a critique of the method of measuring reputation used in the past study,
  • an examination of alternative ways of measuring scholarly reputation,
  • the type of preliminary data that should be collected from institutions and programs that will be the most helpful for linking with other data sources (e.g., citation data) in the compilation of the quantitative measures;
  • the possible incorporation of the industrial, governmental, and international respondents into a reputational assessment measure; and

In the process of their investigation they addressed issues such as:

  • The halo effect
  • The advantage of large programs and per capita measures
  • The extent of rater knowledge about programs
  • Alternative ways to get at reputation
  • Accounting for institutional mission
