Therefore, it is of great significance to scientifically build a first-class discipline construction evaluation system to promote first-class discipline construction. As an important evaluation reference system, the third-party evaluation system must pay attention to its underlying data sources and their calculation methods. Using the underlying data of the Web of Science database and InCites scientific research analysis tools, the top five agricultural universities of China were analyzed, and the development trend was explored from the aspects of academic overall output, scientific research quality, scientific cooperation and hot topics. The construction of agricultural universities should pay attention to high-level scientific research output, promote advantages research, clearly define the development direction according to the national strategy and social needs, and carry out the discipline layout.

Key words: underlying data sources, agricultural university, research output quality, advantage research disciplines, scientific cooperation, discipline practice
