Establishment of an index system for evaluating outstanding biomedical scientists for science foundation of Shanghai

ObjectiveTo establish a scientific, objective and applicable index system for evaluating outstanding biomedical scientists for science foundation of Shanghai.MethodsAccording to the principal indices that have been used in the developed countries for evaluating their talented personnel and the reality of our country, an index system was set up to evaluate the outstanding biomedical scientists for Shanghai science foundation. The following parameters were used to simplify the indices: correlation coefficient, multiple correlation coefficient, partial correlation coefficient, creditability, and discriminatory power. And analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weights of each index.Results and ConclusionsThe established index system is scientific and applicable; it is helpful for cultivating and evaluating outstanding biomedical scientists.
