the indicator of CSSCI Articles, the increasable proportion of 985Us is in the slight

downtrend, while that of non-985Us is in the uptrend.

(3) Analysis on the Eastern, Central and Western 211Us

It’s observable from Table4.38 that, on the indicator of Monographs, the

increasable amount of DEA-inefficient western 211Us is high than that of eastern

211Us or central 211Us in most years except 2006, and thefive-year averages of

eastern, central and western 211Us are 2.13, 1.99, and 4.73 respectively. Inside

eastern 211Us, the increasable amount of HSZUs is lower than that of JUs or OUs in

2006 and 2007, but that of OUs is lower than that of JUs or HSZUs after 2008. The

five-year averages are 3.60, 0.71, and 1.52 respectively for JUs, HSZUs, and OUs.

From Fig.4.28, we can observe that, during thefive years, the increasable amount of

eastern 211Usfirst decreases heavily then increases slightly, that of central 211Us is

in afluctuant trend, and that of western 211Usfirst increases steadily then decreases.

Inside eastern 211Us, during thefive years, the increasable amount of JUsfirst

decreases heavily then increases slightly, that of HSZUs is always in the slight

uptrend, while that of OUsfirst decreases heavily then levels off.

It’s observable from Table4.39that, on the indicator of SSCI articles, the

increasable amount of DEA-inefficient western 211Us is lower than that of eastern
