Panel 17 – LTH | Building
Construction Sciences, and Electrical Measurements are concerned,
only data of those divisions and groups given to the panel 17 are included).
The last two columns of the table, which also include the average
numbers in 2003–2007 in parentheses, indicate that the production
of doctorates and papers in international journals has remained quite
stable during the evaluation period with the following exceptions: the
production of PhDs was clearly lower in 2007 than during the whole
period (2003–2007) in two departments (Technology and Society and
Construction Sciences). There has been a positive trend in the publication
activity in two departments, Architecture and Built Environment and
Design Sciences.

The human resources available in various departments also need to be
considered in the evaluation. The sizes of the departments vary a lot. The
outputs (publications and PhDs in 2007) calculated per the number of
academic staff and professors (for PhDs/professor the average numbers
in 2003–2007 are given in parentheses) are listed in the next table. The
ratios of doctoral students to the academic staff are also included in the
table.
