| Summary: | In response to the Philippines education system's development plan in strengthening the research culture of the different higher education institutions, this study was conducted to assess the research efficiency of 18 research universities in the country. Standard Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, have been used in previous researches to measure the relative efficiency of research performance of universities with quantity-oriented indicators inputs and outputs. This study proposed the use of a network DEA (NDEA) model considering quality indicators in assessing the efficiency of the research performance of universities. NDEA allows the measurement of efficiency per stage of a process. The main finding is that the standard DEA tends to exaggerate the research efficiency compared to that of NDEA. The use of quality-oriented publication indicator also revealed that the use of quantity-oriented indicators alone exaggerates the performance of the universities as it is mainly based on the number of researches produced, not considering the impact or quality of each research. Some of the top-performing universities ranked lower with the use of quantity-oriented indicators. © 2019 IEEE. |
