TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 30 | The Evolution of Journal Assessment Bibliometricians agree that no single metric can effectively capture the entire spectrum of research performance because no single metric can address all key variables Bibliometrics = quantitative measures used to assess research output e.g. in a subject field, country, or journal by researchers, their institutions and their publishers Basic Premise = Citation is a form of endorsement Measuring Metric Methodology

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 31 | Impact Factor Total citations in 2011 from ALL items published in journal in 2009 and 2010 No. of ONLY articles published in 2009 and 2010 = Impact Factor

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 32 | Subject Field Differences Which journal is best? They are all the best – all the top of their subject categories

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 33 | Average Impact Factors differ by subject field Source: Elsevier analysis of Thomson Reuters’ data, showing average year Impact Factors

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 34 | Metrics for Journal Evaluation ( SCImago Journal Rank – SJR Developed by SCImago – Felix de Moya, SCImago research groupSCImago Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), University of Granada Main feature: prestige metric – similar to Google PageRank Citations are weighted depending on the status of the source they come from Secondary feature : different citation behaviour addressed Source-Normalized Impact per Paper – SNIP Developed by Henk Moed, CWTS, University of Leiden Main feature: contextual citation impact Part 1 – evens out differences in likelihood of citation (i.e. different behaviours) Part 2 – evens out differences in database coverage in subject fields

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 35 | Metrics for Journal Evaluation Normalize for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 36 | More accuracy, More transparency, More options, More metrics!

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 37 | Prestige metric: Prestige transferred when a journal cites Citations are weighted depending on where they come from A journal’s prestige is shared equally between its citations Life Sciences journal High impact, lots of citations One citation = low value Arts & Humanities journal Low impact, few on citations One citation = high value SJR normalizes for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields SJR: SCImago Journal Rank

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 38 | SJR: SCImago Journal Rank Prestige metric: Prestige transferred when a journal cites Citations are weighted depending on where they come from A journal’s prestige is shared equally between its citations Life Sciences journal High impact, lots of citations One citation = low value Arts & Humanities journal Low impact, few on citations One citation = high value SJR normalizes for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields 1: Take into account the more prestigious nature of citations that come from within or closelyrelated fields 2: Overcome the tendency for prestige scores to diminish over time as the world-wide quantity of journals increases 3: Offer a more readily understandable scoring scale with an average score of one for easy comparison

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 39 | +++ A journal’s raw impact per paper Citation potential in its subject field Peer reviewed papers only A field’s frequency and immediacy of citation Database coverage Journal’s scope and focus Measured relative to database median SNIP: Source-normalized impact per paper

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 40 | SNIP: Source-normalized impact per paper +++ A journal’s raw impact per paper Citation potential in its subject field Peer reviewed papers only A field’s frequency and immediacy of citation Database coverage Journal’s scope and focus Measured relative to database median 1: A different averaging procedure is used in the calculation of the denominator reducing the impact of outliers 2: A correction factor is introduced to ensure that citations from journals with low numbers of references are weighted properly 3: The new calculation results in a SNIP average score for all journals in Scopus to approximately equal one, making comparison of Journal scores easier

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 41 | SNIP: Molecular Biology VS Mathematics JournalRIP Cit Pot SNIP (= RIP/Cit Pot) Inventiones mathematicae Molecular Cell SNIP for journals is available on the Scopus Journal Browse Page

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 42 | Transparency: freely and publicly accessible Metrics based on Scopus.com: underlying database available for transparency Subject Field Normalization: allows for comparison independent of the journals’ subject classification. Reflects most current journal scopes, thereby taking ongoing changes into account 3-year citation window: demonstrably the fairest compromise Manipulation-resistant: Article type consistency. Only citations to and from articles, reviews, and conference papers are considered Breadth of coverage: Scopus has over 20,500 sources: 19,500 journals as well as trade publications, proceedings and book series. CONS: More complex methodology Do not take amount of review content into account Advantages of SNIP & SJR

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 49 | Types of Research Measures Existing metrics focus on short term citation value -Impact factor = 2 years -Immediacy Index = 1 year -Cited Half Life = stops at 10 years New developments focus on alternative value measurements - h -Index - g -Index -Matthew Value Measures Journals only Measures Journals Authors Research groups Subjects

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 50 | h-index in Scopus Developed in 2005 by Jorge Hirsch, a condensed-matter physicist (University of California in San Diego) and peace activist.

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 51 | Why the h-Index Traditional methods of evaluating authors include : 1. No. of publications per year - “salami” publishing 2.Total citations from publications – may penalize productivity 3.Impact factor – meant for journals, not people These methods of evaluating authors were starting to get questioned by the authors themselves The h -Index combines quantity and quality, productivity and influence The h -Index also encourages consistency in citation numbers, favours continuous stream of papers with lasting and above-average impact

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 52 | Properties of the h-Index Easy to determine Age of Author not taken into account - Both junior and senior authors can have a high or low h -Index Ignores the highly & poorly cited papers – ‘one-hit wonders’ Dynamic, not a static number – can change as citations increase, real-time in Scopus Can be used to measure : Authors, Journals, Institutions, Departments, Faculties, Selection of Papers etc..etc..etc See Prof. Hirsch’s paper at :

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 53 | Definition of h-Index A scientist has index h if h of his papers have at least h citations each and the other papers have no more than h citations each. “The h-index is the highest number of papers a scientist has that have at least that number of citations.” Nature (2005) Eg.: Prof. Lee has index 15 if 15 of his papers have at least 15 citations each and the other papers have no more than 15 citations each.

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 54 | H-index accounts for a body of work cited 22 times or more 22 papers h-index is the highest number of a scholar’s papers, h, that have each received at least h citations H-Index - Jorge E. Hirsch (Physicist, 2005)

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 55 | Citations of Papers from 1996 only Sort papers from highest cited to lowest cited from 1996 onwards

TITLE OF PRESENTATION | 56 | A scientist has index 14 if 14 of his 35 papers after 1995 have at least 14 citations each and the other 21 (35-14) papers have no more than 14 citations each. 35 documents written after 1995 Article Rank Number No. of Citations
