74. Citation Analysis of an Author 74 Citation Analysis of an Author: e.g. Michael Bond

75. Citation Analysis of an Author 75

76. Citation Analysis of an Author 76 Author Evaluator 112 publications; cited over 3,800 times by over 3,100 documents h-index (23) for articles published since 1996

77. 77 Citation Analysis of an Author

78. 78 Definition of h-index An author 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. e.g. An author with an h-index of 20 means that each of 20 of his or her publications have been cited for 20 or more times. For example The h-index for Bond, Michael Harris (Considers Scopus articles published after 1996) = 21 (21 out of 82 documents have each been cited at least 21 times)

79. Properties of the h-index  Developed in 2005 by Jorge Hirsch, a condensed-matter physicist (University of California in San Diego) and peace activist.  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.  Details of h-index at:  http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508025 http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508025  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XRkKc-FZPc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XRkKc-FZPc 79

80. 80 The h-index can be calculated manually by viewing all the author’s documents in the Citation Tracker. Click on Sort documents and select Citations in descending. Then scroll down to where the rank of articles and the number of cited- by’s meet: that’s the h-index for that author including documents published from 1996 onwards.

81. 81

82. H-Index and Similar Analysis can be Applied at Institution Level too 82 Institution to be analyzed

83. Analyze and Evaluate Institution Output 83 Institution to be analyzed

84. Analyze and Evaluate Institution Output 84 Click to browse all documents

85. Analyze and Evaluate Institution Output 85

86. Journal Analyzer 86

87. Journal Analyzer 87 Double click to select a journal title. A graph will appear on the other side showing citations, documents, etc. of the title. Up to 10 journal titles could be selected for comparison at a time. SCImago Journal Rank (SJR indicator) is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from. SJR chart weighted citations per document SNIP = Source normalized impact per paper: corrects for differences in the frequency of citation across research fields Citations chart shows the total number of citations received by a journal in the year, considering all documents. Documents chart shows the total number of documents published in the journal in the year.
