本研究統計國內48個財金系所514名專任教師2003-2008年間之學術著作表現。我們依據沈仰斌、俞明德、張峰嘉(2002)與陳聖賢、盧秋玲、張士傑、林丙輝(2005)之概念進行期刊分類,並分別以教師「現職校系」與「發表校系」歸類著作所屬校系,據以報導各級著作總數與平均每人每年著作數前20名系所。與過去相較,本研究期間財金著作數量與品質都有大幅度之進展。國際期刊著作則有集中在前10名系所之現象。我們亦針對樣本教師平均每年著作數進行排序,以供各類學術獎助申請案之審查人評估申請者學術表現之參考。此外,若觀察排名5%(約為全國第25名)的學者,平均每年在國科會A(A-)級以上期刊發表篇數為0.056(0.167),可知發表在頂尖與優質國際財務期刊仍屬相當不易。
This study examines research publications for 514 faculty members in 48 finance departments in Taiwan's universities during 2003-2008. We follow Shen, Yu, and Chang (2002) and Chen, Lu, Chang, and Lin (2005) to select and categorize finance research journals. This study then calculates and ranks department performance according to the author's current affiliations and publication's affiliation. We rank and report the top 20 departments according to the total number of articles and articles per faculty. Our results suggest that the overall finance research performance during 2003-2008 improves substantially than the periods before 2001. We also find that publications in international journals are mainly contributed by the top 10 finance departments. In addition, we report the faculty publication capacity per year at the 1^(st), 5^(th), and 10^(th) to 50^(th) percentile to provide a benchmark of research performance in Taiwan. At the 5^(th) percentile, a faculty member ranked the 25^(th) in our 514 faculty sample, can only produce 0.056 (0.167) article per year in A (A-) and above journals. This result shows the difficulty of publishing top-tier journal articles in the area of finance.
