Summary:
Output associated with the research and graduate training of university departments and individual faculty members is examined in the present paper. Convergence among measures of output is evaluated and the necessity for considering academic area when developing performance criteria is investigated. In addition, 2 new measures of scholarly output--one of publication quality and the other of graduate students' first-job quality--are described, and their validity is evaluated in terms of their relationships to other output measures.
