There are several parameters to assess the research reputation of the academic staff such as scientific publications, citation index, etc. Is there a unique and reliable measure to determine the research output?
I am not aware of any unique and reliable quantitative *measure* of the research reputation. Even if it existed, one should also bear in mind the Goodhart's law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law): "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."
In the hard sciences to date the most reliable (although not perfect) indicator of one's academic reputation is probably just the opinion of the leading experts in the field.
No.
You can pile up a bunch of statistical parameters, all of which are indicative of something. They are much less useful between fields than within a single field. You probably cannot get a single quantitative value. Of course, the use to which the number or whatever is to be put may be a helpful guide in answering your question. I would also have real reservations about asking a few 'leading experts'.
Hi
Several indicators/measures are proposed, studied and given in:
