This study uses the quantile regression models to explore the relationship between SCI (Science Citation Index) editorial board representation and research output of universities in the field of computer science. Quantile regression allows the investigation of the variation of the relationship between editorial board representation and research output. A total of 447 journals and 14,442 editorial board members were analysed. The results suggest that the number of editorial board members is positively and significantly related to the quantity (number of articles) and impact (total number of citations and citations per paper) of the research output from their respective universities. A deeper analysis using quantile regression, indicates that the relationship between the number of editorial board members and the research output is stronger when the university is at the higher quartile of the conditional research output distribution. In addition, to speculate on possible mechanisms behind the relationship between editorial board representation and research output, two exploratory studies based on two small samples were conducted at the individual and journal level, respectively.

计算机科学领域SCI编委代表与大学研究成果的关系：分位数回归方法

本研究使用分位数回归模型来探讨计算机科学领域 SCI（科学引文索引）编委会代表与大学研究成果之间的关系。分位数回归允许调查编辑委员会代表和研究成果之间关系的变化。共分析了 447 种期刊和 14,442 名编委会成员。结果表明，编委会成员人数与其所在大学的研究成果数量（文章数）和影响力（总被引次数和每篇论文被引次数）呈显着正相关。使用分位数回归进行更深入的分析，表明当大学处于条件研究产出分布的较高四分位数时，编委会成员数量与研究产出之间的关系更强。此外，为了推测编委会代表与研究成果之间关系背后的可能机制，分别在个人和期刊层面进行了基于两个小样本的两项探索性研究。
