基于博士毕业生学术职业就职的学科排名研究——以美国大学数学学科为例

Ranking of US Mathematics Doctoral Programs from the Perspective of Doctoral Graduates Placement

近年来，学科排名逐渐成为国内外大学排名发展的主流。在排名方法上,现存有代表性的学科排名主要使用声誉调查指标和科研产出指标,而对人才培养方面的评价则比较薄弱。针对该问题,本研究以反映学科人才培养质量的博士毕业生的学术职业就职情况为标准,引入PageRank算法为排名方法,选取美国大学数学学科为例,构建了一个同时考虑就职学生数量及就职质量(就职单位水平)的学科排名。

In recent years,subject ranking of universities has become a trend at both national and global levels. Most of the existing subject rankings rely on measures of reputation and research performance, with little consideration for education quality. This study builds a ranking of US mathematics doctoral programs based on the academic appointments of doctoral graduates from the programs. The PageRank algorithm is used as the ranking method so that both the number of appointments and the prestige of the destination programs are taken into account.
