This development is displayed in Figure 1.5. 1.5 Conclusion The method on which our baseline ranking is based is better suited to measure the research activity than the ranking methods that were used in Switzerland hitherto because it can be used as a management instrument. We demonstrated that the research activity of the Swiss universities developed differ- ently. Over the period under consideration (15 years), the ranking of universities was not stable. Due to this, it is necessary to update research rankings on a regular basis (approx- imately every five years), if they are to be used as management instruments. 18 Our time patterns show that the classification of the University of Geneva in the Champions League of the CEST as well as its relatively good position in the rankings by Kalaitzidakis et al. 18 This is in accordance with a recommendation of the German Wissenschaftsrat (Deutscher Wissenschaft- srat, 2004). 15
Economic research in Switzerland (2003) and Coupé (2003) are mainly based on its high research output in the first half of the 90s, but are no longer justified on the basis of its current research activity. Moreover, it has to be taken into account that the journal landscape changes over time. In order to prevent distortions due to this change, the weighting schemes should also be reviewed and updated regularly. A problem of our method is the undifferentiated assignment of the research activity to the institutions, i.e., in our case, to universities instead of departments. Bibliometric methods encounter difficulties in this respect. In order to overcome this weakness, one has to rely on the collaboration of the institutions. An accurate institutional assignment is only possible on the basis of self declarations (research reports). Also, information, such as, the size of the institution (the academic personnel or the total expenditures), could be inferred from research reports. With this information, the research productivity of the evaluated research units could be calculated - a central measured value for research management which cannot be measured accurately in bibliometric studies. 16
