• W336722017 abstract "Argument continues to rage about the question of whether big research groups and departments perform better than smaller groups, with obvious implications of the extent to which the national resources for research should flow to big groups, big departments and big universities. Yet for such an apparently simple question, it appears very difficult to get any consensus. Data and analysis are disputed, and interpretations hotly contested. A recent NBEET-commissioned report provides some answers. It indicates that in the sciences and engineering there is a threshold effect, varying in group size from 5-12, below which there are considerable inefficiencies. However beyond this size, other than in exceptional cases, there are no economies of scale. It also raises the issue that it is group productivity, rather than per capita productivity, which is critical in the social dynamics of research (though of course not in practice). Different measures of performance are required for research groups, and universities, with different objectives. At regular intervals there is an outburst of debate, usually marked by some acrimony, among the research community about the effects of size on research performance and output. The most recent occasion was the publication by Adey and Larkins (1994) of an evaluation of publication records of selected universities for the period 1990-92, in which it was claimed that for the fields of physics, chemistry and biological sciences, quite clearly, a broad relationship between size of department and total publications is established. This research was stimulated by an earlier study by Lowe (1993) based on 1990 data only, which found that research groups, large departments and large universities are not particularly produc- tive by any quantitative measure of output or impact. Adey and Larkins claimed the longer time-span of their study was the principal reason for reaching an opposite conclusion. Their findings were immediately challenged by academic staff of Wollongong University, who recalculated the data to show that small science departments are similarly productive to large science depart- ments (Anon, 1994). Why is it that the issue generates so much heat? Why does there seem to be so little consensus? And why are the data produced by one group so readily open to question and dispute? Is there no reliable evidence or analysis on which the relationships of performance to size can be based? It was in order to address these issues that NBEET commissioned a study of the effects of resource concentration on research performance (NBEET 1993)." @default.
