Integrating FUCA, SRP, and OPARA Methods to Assess Faculty's Scientific Research Capacity

Abstract

Faculty's scientific research activities are not only a primary task besides teaching but also play a crucial role in knowledge development and enhancing education quality. Evaluating the scientific research capacity of the faculty in a department helps identify capabilities and promote a competitive spirit, thereby improving the effectiveness and reputation of the educational institution. This study evaluates the scientific research capacity of outstanding faculty members in a Vietnamese university department by integrating three methods: FUCA (Faire Un Choix Adéquat), SRP (Simple Ranking Process), and OPARA (Objective Pairwise Adjusted Ratio Analysis). The evaluation data are based on the number of Scopus-indexed scientific articles published in an academic year. Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 ranked articles are used as evaluation criteria for each faculty member. The weights of the criteria are calculated with the use of ROC (Rank Order Centroid) and RS (Rank Sum) weight methods. For both methods, two faculty members with outstanding scientific research achievements were identified.
