It’s much clearer to observe the change of each NEAM research input indicator
for 211Us through calculating the yearly change rate of university average. The
calculations are presented in Table3.4
It can be seen from Table3.4, that for NEAM disciplines in 211Us from 2007 to
2010, every research input indicator is increasing (except NK Disciplines), of which
the indicators of R&D Grants and JQ Scholars have a considerably larger growth

NoteTo every indicator, thefirst row is sum, the second is university average, and the third with
the parentheses is coefficient of variation (%)
