Abstract By targeting high-level scholars who have returned from the U.S. and are working in top universities and research institutions in China, a novel performance measurement equation has been developed. First, comprehensive evaluation indexes have been established from four dimensions, i.e. paper quantity, paper quality, paper engagement, and willingness of knowledge transfer, and then principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to obtain the performance equation. Furthermore, boundaries of three categories, high, medium and low, of knowledge transfer performance are identified. Furthermore, the difference of knowledge transfer performance in individual technical fields has been analyzed. Empirical results have proven the effectiveness of this novel equation.
