Developed by the Ministry of Education, the Qualis evaluation criteria have strongly impacted the scientific production of Post-Graduation Programs. A new set of more stringent criteria has been proposed for Qualis. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of the new Qualis criteria on the scientific production of Post-Graduation Programs in psychiatry over the last 10 years.
We extracted data from annual reports published between 1998 and 2008, and compared performance measured in terms of the old Qualis rating criteria and the new set of criteria.
There was a 25% increase in the number of Information Science Institute-indexed articles in the second five-year period, which rose from 1,213 to 1,518. While, according to the old Qualis criteria, 84% of the Information Science Institute production would have been classified as highly-rated (IF > 1), only 17% of the papers were classified as highly-rated (A1) according to the new Qualis rating criteria. Most papers (65%) were assigned to intermediate categories (B1 and B2) with an IF < 2.29.
All psychiatric Post-Graduation Programs have increased their production, but by favoring quality over quantity, the new rules have proved to be more useful for discriminating among the scientific production.
由教育部制定的 Qualis 评估标准对研究生课程的科研成果产生了重大影响。新的 Qualis 标准更加严格。我们旨在评估新的 Qualis 标准对过去 10 年精神病学研究生课程科研成果的影响。
我们从 1998 年至 2008 年发表的年度报告中提取数据，并根据旧的 Qualis 评级标准和新的标准集来比较绩效。
在第二个五年期间，信息科学研究所索引文章的数量增加了 25%，从 1,213 篇增加到 1,518 篇。然而，根据旧的 Qualis 标准，84%的信息科学研究所的产出将被归类为高评级（IF>1），但根据新的 Qualis 评级标准，只有 17%的论文被归类为高评级（A1）。大多数论文（65%）被归类为中间类别（B1 和 B2），IF<2.29。
所有的精神病学研究生课程都增加了他们的产出，但通过重视质量而不是数量，新规则被证明在区分科研成果方面更加有用。
