Using journal citation reports, citation databases (such as Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar), and the research repository to find impact measures about your research. (Presentation by Deborah Fitchett and Janette Nicolle)

Have you been cited? Impact measures for PBRF
1. Have you been cited?
“In 1955, it did not occur to me that “impact” would one
day become so controversial. Like nuclear energy, the
impact factor is a mixed blessing. I expected it to be used
constructively while recognizing that in the wrong hands
it might be abused.”
Eugene Garfield
2. Today
Journal ranking
The h-index
Finding citation data on:
Web of Science
Scopus
Google Scholar
Publish or Perish
Research repository
5. h-index
“A scientist has
index h if h of
his/her Np papers
have at least h
citations each, and
the other (Np − h)
papers have no
more than h
citations each.”
6. Web of Science
Limited to 12,000 WoS journals
Strong in natural and health
sciences, medicine, chemistry and
physics
Weaker in social sciences & humanities
Less coverage of conferences, books &
non-English sources
Variations in author names
7. Scopus
Introduced in 2004 by Elsevier
18,500 peer-reviewed journals
(including 1,800 Open Access
journals)
Strong in science, social
sciences, weak in humanities
8. Google Scholar
Free, quick, easy to use and
comprehensive
Includes conference
papers, theses, books, chapters
etc
Not very open about sources
Weaker for older publications
9. Google Scholar Citations
My Citations – set up a profile to
automatically retrieve publications
and citations
Includes citations counts, H-Index
& i10 Index
Future publications and citations
automatically updated
10. Publish or Perish

Open access, developed in SpainUses the PageRank algorithm – attributes different weight to citations depending on the prestige of the citing journal, without influence of self-citationsLarger data source than ISIUsed by SCOPUShttp://www.scimagojr.com/
Pro: measure simultaneously the quality and steadiness of scientific output, rather than just total number of papers (does not account for quality) or total number of citations (can be disproportionately affected by participation in a single publication of major influence, or having many publications with few citations each).Con: doesn’t account for number or order of authors; fields vary in number of references cited; bounded by number of publications. May produce inconsistent results, eg “if two researchers with a different h-index co-author a paper together, it may lead to a reversal of their position in an h-index based ranking”.Ignores citations over and above what is needed to obtain a certain h-index. Less useful to measure academic achievement of junior academics
Can underestimate true citation impact – cited reference search does include citations by non ISI journals (first author only)1. Cited Search for single paper – oxley l* - econ rec – 1995 - Create citation mapCitation alerts2. Citation reportwoodward l – canterbury – View records – create citation reportH-index Citation distribution per year Total Times Cited count Average Times Cited count 3. Researcher ID – show example e.g. les oxley A6075-2008 – register to join
Introduced in 2004. Citation data is shown only for the documents from the publication year 1996 onwards, altho older records are listed. 18,500 peer reviewed (cf 12,000 in WoS)Good for science and social sciences, weaker in humanities, usually retrieves more citations?Better systems for identifying unique authorsUse author finder – e.g. woodward l (WoS h-index of 15, h-index of 26 in Scopus)Can display their publications or go straight to View citation overview and graphs of h-index, citations and publicationsRegister for alerts
Not very open about its sources – unclear what sources are Studies have found that most of the citations uniquely found in Google Scholar are from refereed sources.Uneven coverage across disciplines e.g. Natural and health sciences well covered in ISISS, humanities benefit from coverage of books, conference proceedings and wider range of journalsWeaker for older publications – but improving as journal back runs are posted on the webScholars have done studies on each discipline Open access – open to spam
Measures 3 metricsH index1-10 indexTotal cites Can have a public or private profileShow My profile and search for Michael hall
Perform an author search with initial & surname in quotes. Add the years you have been publishing and limit by subject area.You may need to remove false hits.
Harzing has written extensively about metrics. PoP gives you more measures than WoS, Scopus or even GS.G-index (Egge) – gives more weight to highly cited articlesVariations of the H-index designed to compensate for co-authorship (so is less than the h-index).AWRC - age weighted citation rate
Another open access model – publish in subscription journal but put a copy in open access repository. Indexed by Google Scholar so high visibility.Anything in the research repository has basic download stats available.To add items, when you’re submitting through Profile it’ll ask you to upload documents – if you have it upload published version for PBRF verification and preprint or postprint for repository.*We’ll* do the copyright checking, so you don’t need to worry, we won’t upload anything we’re not allowed to.If you have lots of items you want to upload and no time, contact Grant Barrie – he’s happy to work something out.
