6. Scopus as the Gateway for Information Design Your Query Refine Your results Track Citation detail and view Top Cited Article and export details

7. Scopus Provides Quick & Intelligent Answers Which journals are most popular in this area? Who else is active in this field ? Could I invite them? What other disciplines are related? Is this a growing topic of interest?

8. Track Citations & H-index

9. Citation Tracker Tool : An Overview of Citations Find,Check,& Track The Scopus Citation Tracker is the simple way to find, check and track citation data. Available to anyone with a Scopus subscription, it lets you track data year by year for a specific author or topic. With the Scopus Citation Tracker you can evaluate:  The most highly cited author in a field and check that author's relevance  The real-time citation data of articles and authors of interest  What topics are hot in familiar or unfamiliar subject areas  What subjects are being cited by other subjects How to use Citation Tracker  Perform an author search.  Select the author(s) of your choice by clicking in the check boxes next to the authors' names, and click on 'Citation Tracker'.  After the Citation Overview is generated, you can view the number of citations your author’s articles have received per year and in total. You can go back to the record by clicking on the title. You can also change the sorting order and select the date ranges.  Additionally, you can exclude self-citations from the citation overview counts and/or export and print the Citation Overview.

10. Track Citations & H-index

11. 11 h-index :An Index to Quantify an individual’s Scientific Research Output Proposed in 2005 by physicist Jorge Hirsch* Applies to individual scientist, not a journal Rates scientist based on lifetime publications and citations Official definition: “A scientist has index h if h of their N papers have at least h citations each, and the other (N – h) papers have no more than h citations each.” Translation: the highest number of a scientist’s papers, h, that have at least h citations *J.E. Hirsch, An index to quantify an individual’s scientific research output, PNAS 2005, 102: 16569-16572 Can be retrieved from http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508025 Background

19. To use one single metric to evaluate Journal is similar to using weight alone to judge one’s health

20. How would you know all these Journals are the best Our Approach :

21. 3-year citation window is the fairest compromise To which years are citations made in 2007 directed? Source: Felix de Moya

22. SJR & SNIP Snippets

23. SJR and SNIP are strong metrics for first step SCImago Journal Rank – SJR Prestige metric – similar to Google PageRank Citations are weighted depending on the status of the source they come from Developed by SCImago – Felix de Moya Source-Normalized Impact per Paper - SNIP SNIP measures contextual citation impact Every citation is counted as 1 citation – similar to traditional metrics SNIP is field normalized, dependent on likelihood of citation in subject field of source Developed by Henk Moed, CWTS Underlying calculation for both metrics ‘2009 Impact’ Citations received by journal J in 2009 from A,R,CP to A,R,CP published in 2006-2008 A,R,CP published in J 2006-2008 =

24. More on... SCImago Journal Rank - SJR SJR is a prestige metric – citations weighted depending on where they come from - A journal transfers its prestige by citing - Prestige transferred = journal’s SJR e.g. Lancet SJR 2007 = 1.541 – high prestige e.g. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports SJR 2007 = 0.153 – lower prestige 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 of citations One citation = high value Normalize for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields

25. More on... Source Normalized Impact per Paper - SNIP Calculate ‘Citation Potential’ for 2009 1. Collect papers citing 1-3 year old papers in target journal in 2009 2. Collect reference lists of citing papers Etc. 3. Count number of references in citing papers to any (in any journal) 1-3 year old papers Etc. 4. Citation Potential = average number of references to any 1-3 year old papers SNIP = 2009 Impact / 2009 Citation Potential Life Sciences – high impact, high Citation Potential Arts & Humanities – low impact, low Citation Potential Normalize for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields
