  • Nobel Laureates and New Institutional Economics: a Bibliometric Analysis of Douglass North, Ronald Coase, Elinor Ostrom, and Oliver Williamson   Order a copy of this article
    by Márcio Mengue Knau, Mikael Jhordan Lacerda Cordeiro, Júlia Ziero Uhr, Daniel Uhr 
    Abstract: This article proposes a bibliometric analysis of the literature on new institutional economics (NIE). The analysis employed the Web of Science database and the software tools VOSViewer and Sci2 from 1956 to 2023. The results revealed that the USA has the highest involvement in NIE literature concerning citations and co-authorship. Moreover, US universities demonstrate significant representation in this field of knowledge, occupying 8 out of the top 10 positions among the most relevant institutions in NIE literature. Among the most cited authors, economist Elinor Ostrom stands out, and the most cited publication is The Problem of Social Cost by Ronald Coase. This study elucidates the preeminent academic institutions that serve as benchmarks within the field of NEI research. Additionally, it undertakes the task of mapping representing publications, catering to individuals aspiring to make substantive contributions to cognate topics within this realm in prospective scholarly investigations.
    Keywords: new institutional economics; NIE; North; Coase; Ostrom; Williamson; institutions; bibliometric; nobel laureates; institutionalism.

  • Research Quality Framework for Universities and Research Institutions   Order a copy of this article
    by Kiran Tatoree, Dinesh Kumar Hurreeram 
    Abstract: The objective of this study was to develop a framework to perform research quality assessment of universities and research institutions operating in Mauritius. The methodology involved the use of both exploratory and descriptive research designs. The assessment of the national research status and review of literature on Research Quality Frameworks (RQF) led to the identification of four (4) main research quality dimensions and sixteen (16) new indicators relevant for Mauritius. The main contribution of the study is the development of a standard RQF with 42 indicators to assess research quality for Mauritian universities and research institutions. In addition to the RQF, a software for institutional research quality assessment and for associated policy decision making was developed. The use of the RQF was found to be a vital tool of national importance, for use by research institutions and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in making strategic choices while pursuing their research agenda.
    Keywords: Research Quality; Research Quality Framework; Research Assessment; Bibliometrics; Universities; Research Institutions.
