摘要： Does devoting more academic research resources promote academic quality? This study aims to examine the influence of higher education R&D expenditure ( HERD ) on academic quality measured by the relative citation impact (RCI). Both the ordered Probit and panel data models are employed to implement the empirical estimation, the cross-country evidence suggests that an increase in academic R&D is positively related to academic quality. The further analyses on different academic disciplines show the HERD is more relevant to science publications. This finding is robust for various specifications. 其他題名： Scientometrics 出版者： Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands 出版日期： 2014-10-01 出處： Scientometrics, 2014-10, Vol.101 (1), p.109-123 版權： Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary 2014 版權： 2015 INIST-CNRS 識別號： ISSN: 0138-9130 識別號： EISSN: 1588-2861 識別號： DOI: 10.1007/s11192-014-1362-z 識別號： CODEN: SCNTDX
