This paper proposes a relative bidimensional index that takes into account both the net production and the quality of it, as an attempt to provide a comprehensive and objective way to compare the research output of di erent institutions in a specfic field, using journal contributions and citations. The proposed index is then applied, as a case study, to rank the top Spanish universities in the felds of Chemistry and Computer Science in the period ranging from 2000 until 2009. A comparison with the top 50 universities in the ARWU rankings is also made, showing the proposed ranking is better suited to distinguish among non-elite universities}, publisher = {Scientometrics}, keywords = {Rankings}, keywords = {Universities}, keywords = {Higher Education}, keywords = {Bibliometrics}, keywords = {Shanghai ranking}, keywords = {Bidimensional analysis}, keywords = {Evaluation models}, keywords = {Research performance assessment}, keywords = {H index}, title = {A methodology for Institution-Field ranking based on a bidimensional analysis: The IFQ2A-index}, author = {Torres Salinas, Daniel and García-Moreno, José and Delgado López-Cózar, Emilio and Herrera Triguero, Francisco}, }
