摘要：
Quantitative evaluation of scientific research activity involves a set of complex methodological aspects, many of which have not received so far the deserved attention, neither in theoretical, nor in empirical studies. The concept of entropy is widely used in decision-making problems as a useful instrument for assessing the amount and effect of information provided by certain criteria used to construct a composite indicator. This paper proposes the use of entropy to evaluate scientific research performance of academic units. The field of observation consists of Romanian universities classified either as Advanced Research and Education or Education and Scientific Research units, by national ranking exercise in 2011. Our analysis considers only ISI publications - Articles and Proceedings Papers, during 2006-2010. We argue that the evaluation of scientific research can be better addressed and these preliminary results on university rankings could be further validated when alternative methods of assessment are applied.
