- In a series of papers, published during second half of the 1980s, the Budapest group (Braun, Glänzel, Telcs and Schubert) proposed that bibliometric distributions are to be characterized as Waring distributions. We use their methodology in order to establish a reference value for academic production within macro classes. From this we develop a combined performance model for academic research and apply the model to Australian research. This model take advantage of, first, field normalized publication rates (the productivity dimension) and, second, field normalized citation rates (the quality dimension). Based on ISI-data the performance of Australian universities is depicted in a more resource-efficient way than competing models.
