1. Research Metrics – The InCites Approach NCURA March 14, 2013 Martin Kirk President of CAURA Director of Research Services, UBC, Canada

2. Why Research Metrics? Reasonable proxy for research impact? Internal performance monitoring at PI, Dept, Faculty, Institution level Outward facing demonstration of impact In 2010 UBC along with U15 examined both InCites and SciVal In 2011 UBC and 6 other U15 subscribed to InCites.

3. Executive Summary – UBC 1978 - 2013 This dataset contains 135,052 source articles from 165,206 authors and contains 1,578,655 articles that have cited the 135,052 source articles in the dataset.

23. Pros InCites provides a flexible way to track and report citation performance Useful for comparisons between PIs / international peers Useful performance and strategic planning tool Fairly easy to use Cons Need to cleanse data Cannot compare depts. to depts. or Faculties to Faculties No strategic research area/clusters collectives e.g. nanotechnology, green energy, genomics Not the best visualization but getting better Both tools have pros/cons…In ideal world we would have both Conclusions
