碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 資訊管理系研究所 === 105 === Research performanceevaluation is an important issue of many scholars. It has a great impact on promotion, tenure, and quality of publication. In the past, some scholars believe that cooperation can improve the quality of publication and academic productivity. Rather than having single-author publication, more and more cooperation had emerged in recent years. Since 2005, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has developed two university programs, and had clearly stated that there is a strong relationship between faculty promotion and research performance. Even thougu there are several studies that analyzed the collaboration or research productivity patterns in an academic discipline,there is no such work that uses social network analysis to examine research productivity and co-authorship under two university programs and evaluation policies from MOE in Taiwan.Therefore, in this study, we plan to analyze the research productivity, collaboration patterns,and publication patterns of faculty members from all the Management Information Systems(MIS) departments in Taiwan. In addition, we use D3.js to visualize and discuss how these two university programs and evaluation policies from the MOE had affected these collaboration and publication patterns.Based on the findings, we figured out: (1)The number of journals has increased significantly from 1982 to 2011; (2)The number of publication had increased after two university programs from MOE had been introduced; (3) A male professor from National Sun Yat-Sen University is an important medium and center point in SCI/SSCI/TSSCI network; (4) Male and femalr professors had about the same ratio in their Single-author publication; (5)Professors who have more publication papers also had more cooperations with others.
