Abstract EN
This paper develops a Shannon Entropy approach based only on the number of papers published to propose scientific institution rankings.
A simple and efficient approach with weight restrictions is employed to derive the score under specific preferences.
The importance degrees for each preference are determined using the concept of Shannon Entropy.
Finally, a weighted linear combination of different lexicographic preferences with subjective perceptions between the corrected count and the number of articles criteria is proposed.
An application to Asia-Pacific ranking of the Nature Publishing Index is to illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
