WU Journal Ratings & Performance Bonus

WU’s performance bonuses for academic staff are regulated by the Operational Agreement on Performance Bonuses and Examination Rates for Academic Staff  (Operational Agreement on Performance Bonuses and Examination Rates for Academic Staff) that was negotiated with the Academic Staff Council and entered into effect on January 1, 2016. Sections 2 and 4 of this operational agreement specify new regulations for performance bonuses and name two types of bonuses: (a) bonuses for Star journal publications (§ 2) and (b) bonuses for outstanding research achievements specific to individual organizational units (§ 4).

Star journal list

A bonus of € 3,000 is paid out for each article published in a journal from the Star journal list.

Department-specific journal rankings

In addition to the WU Star journal list, every department has its own department-specific journal ranking that serves as the basis for awarding performance bonuses for journal articles pursuant to the operational agreement. Former WU employees and employees who have published in proceedings use this form.

Please find Department-Journal-Ratings, forms, and directives on Sharepoint.
