linkage Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows how UBC evaluates graduate productivity, ie. first author papers, co-author papers, oral and poster presentations, scholarships, etc. For instance, I am graduating with my PhD and have 7 first author papers and 3 co-author papers, mostly in medium impact journals. Would this productivity be included in my AQ score, or my NAQ score? And how much weight would my research papers have? Any comments would be appreciated.

srindogg@hotmail.com Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Definitely not included in the AQ score (purely based on cum % and last 60 credits %). If you look at the Non-academic categories they score you in, there is no designated category for research. But I remember from one of the info sessions that papers in high impact journals can give you marks in the high performnace of human endeavour category. Which is sweet because it is the most difficult category to get any points in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkage Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks - is this the only category in which I would get extra points in for research productivity? It doesn't seem like much, considering that research is such an integral part of medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacko Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I think you'd just drop your publications into the publication section and they'll evaluate as-is. Additionally, you're free to mention your publication record and any significant publications in your autobiography. Either way, I'm sure your strong publication record after your PhD will bode well for you. I got into UBC for 2013 as a PhD with far fewer publications than yourself, so I'm sure you're in good shape on that front. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMMT Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 UBC is notorious for not evaluating research very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
