Abstract

This paper addressed Essential Science Indicators (ESI) as a key performance indicator for universities and focused on analyzing the excellence of academic disciplines from ESI perspective, mainly among world-class universities and Chinese 985-project universities. It illustrated the typical discipline excellence of world-class universities in terms of the quantity of disciplines ranking top 1% in the world ESI, with new insights on the average level of the quantity. Accordingly, it also disclosed the commonalities of world-class universities in keeping a good balance between basic science and applied science. The gap of discipline excellence existing between world-class universities and Chinese universities was investigated. In general, this paper provides a measurable and quantifiable benchmark means for universities to evaluate academic discipline performance, especially meaningful for Chinese universities on their ways to build world-class universities.
