The Methods for Ranking Research Projects Based on Common-weights Ranked Voting Model

Ranking is the base of research projects evaluation and selection,and also important to science and technology research management.In the cases that the number of research projects under evaluation is limited,expert ranked voting is more reasonable to be used,and RVM (Ranked Voting Model) is a classic technique to deal with these problems.The paper proposes CWRVM (common-weights ranked voting model) and provides cross evaluation strategy and overall evaluation strategy to determine the common weights.The proposed methods can eliminate the limitations of various weights and low discrimination which exist in the traditional RVM model.
