Researchers use various skills in their works, such as writing, data analysis and experiments design. These research skills have greatly influenced the quality of their research outputs, as well as their scientific impact. Although many indicators have been proposed to quantify the impact of researchers, studies of evaluating their scientific research skills are very rare. In this paper, we analyze the factors affecting researchers' skill ranking and propose a new model based on hypergraph

To validate our skill ranking model, we perform experiments on the PLOS ONE dataset and compare the rank of researchers' skills with their papers' citation counts and h-index. Finally, we analyze the patterns about how researchers' skill ranking increased over time. Our studies also show the change patterns of researchers between different skills.
