Assessing the Quality of Academic Staff Using Multiple-Criteria Decision Making

Two major requirements for the researchers at the universities are to publish quality research papers in international journals and to meet high standards in their teaching activities. Although it is difficult to unambiguously quantify the quality of the research of a specific researcher, such quantification would be of great benefit for academic community. When allocating the resources for scientific research, it is important that these resources are well allocated, i.e. that the best get the most funding. When candidates apply for a vacant position at universities it is essential that selection process is transparent. For faculty administration it might be useful to rank the staff with respect to their research and teaching contribution. Researchers could benefit from pointing out the potential shortcomings of their work in order to be able to improve elements of their work. In this paper, we will identify attributes that could be good indicators in assessing quality of researchers and propose a multi-criteria decision making method for ranking researchers using these attributes.
