ABSTRACT

The importance of Measurement and management of research performance resulting from research support programs in humanities and social sciences is getting increased, as the idea that the governmental budget for supporting the academic area is significant expands. However, there are concerns about the lack of performance indicators as well as information about factors affecting research productivity in humanities and social science. To tackle the problems, we analyze the predictive factors associated with research performance of the Next-Generation Program and Research Support Program, which started from 2011 to 2013 and terminated in 2016. Based on the information about the individual researchers and support programs, we measure various research productivity indicators including total number of publications, KCI citation numbers, and journal impact factors. Results obtained from OLS regression indicate that a number of factors including H-index of researchers, the amount of research budget, gender, and affiliation are strongly associated with research productivity. This study suggest several policy implications for practitioners to improve their management capability and understand the attributes of research performances in humanities and social sciences.
