摘要

使用客觀評比研究者之學術成就，在科學界是一項重要的議題；主要是因為評比的優劣將會明顯影響學者的學術聲望外，並可能會造成國家對於學者在研究計畫科學補助的多寡。而近年來國科會採用科學引用指數（SCI）及社會科學引用指數（SSCI）為客觀指標最為常見，這些看似客觀的指標是否公平，已引起不少的討論，本文嘗試比較2004年及2009年在運動科學領域之SCI期刊變化，及在解讀道些指標應當要慎重思考的問題，以避免國內學者一味追求國際期刊的刊登數量，造成學術品質未能明顯提升的異狀。

Using objective indexes to evaluate the academic performance of researchers is an important issue in scientific fields. This is because that the fair evaluation of researchers can directly influence their academic reputation and the financial support for their research projects from the government. Recently, Science Citation Index (SCI) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) have been commonly used by the National Science Council in Taiwan to objectively assess researchers. The indexes seem to be objective but they may not be completely fair. This article compared the changes of SCI journals in 2004 and 2009 in the sport science field and interpreted the meanings of SCI. In this perspective viewpoint, we try to prevent just increasing the publication numbers for national researchers without particularly concerning the quality of academic work.
