rate. By contrast, the indicators of T&R Staff and those with Senior Title have a
relatively small growth rate.
In order to illustrate more visually the trend of research inputs in NEAM dis-
ciplines in 211Us, we plot the yearly averages of some input indicators in line chart.
Please see Figs.3.1,3.2,3.3and3.4.
It can be seen from Fig.3.1, that the two high-level human resources indicators,
CK scholars and JQ scholars, are on a steadily rising trend, with CK scholars
increased from 7.54 to 11.07, and JQ scholars increased from 4.51 to 8.71.
By Fig.3.2, we can see that the university average of T&R staff, and T&R staff
with Senior Title, are on a stable trend with certain increments in the“Eleventh
Five-year”period, but the increments are moderate.
It can be seen from Fig.3.3, that the university average of R&D Grants in the
current year is increasing gradually, from 212,717.5 thousand RMB in 2006 to
499,785.03 thousand RMB in 2010. Especially in 2010, the annual growth rate
reaches its peak, at 35.39%.
It can be seen from Fig.3.4, as a result of controlling for the university scale, the
university average of R&D Grants per capita does not grow as quick as the uni-
versity average of total R&D Grants, yet still with a powerful speed, from
117.51 thousand RMB per capita in 2006 to 247.76 thousand RMB per capita in
3.2.1.2 HSS Disciplines
We present the status and change of research inputs in HSS disciplines of full
sample by the statistics of sum, university average and coefficient of variation. See
Table3.5for details.
It can be seen from Table3.5, the research inputs of HSS disciplines in 211Us
are increasing all the way. (1) The National Key Discipline indicator is relatively
stable, since the MOE evaluation on national key disciplines was merely imple-
mented in 2006, the university average of NK Discipline is 1.78 in 2006, and is
