Humanities 2016

Choice of universities and faculties In the Ranking of Fields of Perspektywy Studies 2016, only academic universities (public and private) were included, and - as part of them - faculties with doctoral rights. This means that the field of study conducted at an academic university but at the faculty without doctoral rights is not included in the Ranking of Study Fields. Determining the fields of study The division into fields and groups of fields of study was made according to the National Classification Framework for Higher Education, with the group of ECONOMIC fields separated from the area of ​​SOCIAL fields. KRK classification Criteria The 2016 Course of Study Ranking includes four groups of criteria: PRESTIGE (indicators: academic study, employer study); ACADEMIC POTENTIAL (parametric assessment, rights to confer academic degrees, conferred academic degrees, availability of highly qualified staff for students, outstanding PKA assessment); SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS (publications, citations, Hirsh index) and ADDITIONAL CRITERIA (professional exams, patents). Ranking indicators The ranking is based on 10-12 indicators - depending on the direction or group of directions. Certain criteria are specific to a given direction and can only appear in this group. Depending on the field of study, the impact of a given indicator on the final ranking indicator was assessed in various percentage weights. PRESTIGE Assessment by academic staff - the number of indications of a given university in the survey among academic staff ("Belvedere professors" and habilitated doctors who obtained the title or degree in the last three years). The study did not include votes for universities being the respondent's primary place of work. The survey was conducted via the Internet using the CAWI method. Each of the respondents defined the field, discipline of study and the area and field of study in which he currently teaches at the university. On this basis, a person's voice was a voice in a given group of fields of study. The criterion is based on research results from the last three years. In total, the opinions of 720 newly appointed "Belvedere" professors and 1656 newly appointed habilitated doctors were taken into account. Source: study of the Perspektywy Educational Foundation. Employer preferences - the number of indications of a given university in a survey conducted on a representative group of employers with their headquarters in Poland. In 2016, the survey was conducted using the combined CATI-CAWI (telephone and Internet) method. The measurement covered enterprises from all PKD sections and all voivodships. Enterprises indicate three key areas of their company's activities related to the relevant groups of fields of study, then indicating the graduates whose universities within the indicated areas they value most and most willingly employ (or would employ them). The fact of employing graduates of a given university is additionally rewarded. The criterion is based on the results of research from the last three years. Source: study carried out by the INDICATOR Marketing Research Center, commissioned by the Perspektywy Educational Foundation. SCIENTIFIC POTENTIAL Parametric rating - the indicator reflects the grade awarded to the university unit by the Committee for the Evaluation of Scientific Units (KEJN). Note: The grade is awarded to the unit, not the field of study. In the case of multidirectional units, this unit will have the same ranking indicator (based on the arithmetic mean of the grades obtained) in all groups of fields in which it is classified. Source: KEJN data. Authorization to confer academic degrees - the sum of the rights to confer postdoctoral degree with a weight of 1.5 and the rights to confer doctoral degree with a weight of 1 for a given university unit. All rights held by the unit have been taken into account. Source: POLON data. Degrees awarded - the number of doctor degrees (with a weight of 1) and a postdoctoral degree (with a weight of 1.5) awarded by the unit conducting the studies, in relation to the number of employees employed in the unit as the primary place of work. Source: POLON data. Availability of highly qualified staff for students - the number of academic teachers employed in the primary workplace (dr with a weight of 1.0; dr hab. With a weight of 1.5 and prof. With a weight of 2.0), in relation to the number of students conversion students studying in a given unit (full-time students included with a weight of 1.0; part-time students with a weight of 0.6). Due to the inability to explicitly assign the employee to a given field of study (in the context of the actual work performed, not the staff minima) and the implementation of tasks by academic staff often in more than one field of study conducted by a given unit, the criterion took into account the entire employment status of the unit. By analogy, the number of all students in the unit was taken into account, not just students in the field of study. Source: POLON and OPI data. SAC  distinctive - an entity's current PKA distinctive rating, without distinguishing the direction for which the entity obtained the distinctive rating. Source: PKA data. SCIENCE PUBLICATIONS Publications - the number of publications included in the SCOPUS database in the years 2011-2015. Each publication is assigned (according to the SCOPUS database classification) to the relevant field of science, taking into account the quality of the title (magazine) in which the publication was made. The sum of publication grades refers to the number of university employees in a given group of fields of study. The classification of the SCOPUS database has been assigned to ranking groups of fields of study. The state of the SCOPUS database as of April 21, 2016. Note: Some publications, in some cases, have been assigned to more than one group of study fields included in the ranking. Citation - the number of citations of publications for 2011-2015, in relation to the number of these publications. H-index - publication rate and citations for 2011-2015 measured according to the Hirsch method. The publications were assigned to the relevant fields of study in the same way as described in the "publications" criterion. H-index - h, is defined as the number of publications that received a number of citations equal to or greater than h. Unlike the University Ranking, a simple Hirsch coefficient was used in the Ranking of Studies, not modified by the number of publications. ADDITIONAL CRITERIA Patents and protection rights (in the case of technical and exact fields) - the number of patents and protection rights granted in the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland in 2014-15 in relation to the number of professors, habilitated doctors and doctors employed in the unit as the primary place of work. Source: data of POLON and the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland. Vocational exams - In some cases (law, medical field, dentistry), additional criteria specific to a given field of study have been introduced - the results of professional examinations (State Medical Examination) and the results of examinations for legal applications. The criterion takes into account the effectiveness of passing the exam.
