本研究是由國科會社科中心委託，針對國內七個政治學系所及中研究院兩個政治學相關單位，檢視其專任人員於過去七年（1995至2001）期刊論文的發表情形。結果顯示，臺大政治學系發表篇數最多，整體而言最具學術影響力。但若將專任人數的因素納入考量之後，中研院歐美所法政組與中正大學政治學系的平均點數，分居研究機構與兼具教學任務機構的第一名，可謂國內較具研究生產力的單位。本研究亦分析單位期刊論文發表的人員集中度與期刊集中度，以瞭解各單位的研究生產是否勞逸平均，以及發表論文的園地是否寬廣開闊。

This study, sponsored by the Social Science Research Center of the National Science Council, evaluates academic performance in terms of journal article publication of seven political science departments and two institutes of Academia Sinica during the period from 1995 to 2001. We find that, by total amount of publication, the Department of Political Science at National Taiwan University ranks at the very top and thus exerts substantial scholarly influence to the entire discipline. The picture looks different, however, if we measure research productivity on the more justifiable per-capita per-year basis. It turns out that the Law and Politics Section of the Institute of European and American Studies at Academia Sinica has been the most productive research institute during the studied period, and the Department of Political Science at National Chung-Cheng University the most productive one among departments with teaching responsibilities. Besides per capita output, we further analyze the distribution of publication among faculty members of each department/institute with Gini's coefficient of concentration in order to measure the degree of inequality in output origins. We also examine the outlet diversity of each department/institute in order to detect the degree of reliance on a certain journal as the destination of publication.
