Scopus Author Profile

Screenshot: Scopus Author Information

Amy Knapp, Assistant University Librarian for Public Services and Departmental Libraries, USA

“Author identification in Scopus is so easy to use and solves a problem that experienced users have long expressed a frustrationwith. It also builds on an existing strength of Scopus; supporting the collaboration between authors.”

Every author with more than 1 article in Scopus has an Author Profile.

The profile shows valuable information about the author, such as:

•Variations of his names already grouped together,

•Most recent affiliation

•Number of articles on Scopus and the citations received

•List of co-authors

•Author’s H Index

•The feedback button allows authors to ask for corrections.

H-Index

H-GRAPHS

“The H-index is the highest number of papers a scientist has that have at least that number of citations” . Nature (2005).

Published by Jorge E. Hirsch in August 2005.

An author with H-Index 13 has at least 13 articles published that received at least 13 citations.

EXAMPLE

Available from Author Profiles and Citation Tracker pages.

H Index calculation in Scopus only considers articles published from 1996 onwards.

Analytics – New Metrics

20

New Metrics - SNIP

• Created by Professor Henk Moed at CTWS, University of Leiden.

• Measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total

number of citations in a subject field.

• The impact of a single citation is given higher value in subject areas where

citations are less likely, and vice versa.

• Characteristics:• Measures contextual citation impact by “normalizing” citation values.

• Takes a research field’s citation frequency into account.

• Considers immediacy, how quickly a paper is likely to have an impact in a given field

.

• Accounts for how well the field is covered by the underlying database.

• Calculates without use of a journal’s subject classification to avoid delimitation.

• Counters any potential for editorial manipulation.

SOURCE NORMALIZED IMPACT PER PAPER (SNIP)

21

New Metrics - SJR

• Developed by Professor Félix de Moya, Research Professor at Consejo

Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC).

• “Prestige” metric based on the idea that “all citations are not created equal”.

With SJR, the subject field, quality and reputation of the journal has a direct

effect on the value of a citation.

• Characteristics:• Is weighted by the prestige of the journal, thereby “leveling the playing field” among

journals.

• Eliminates manipulation: raise the SJR ranking by being published in more reputable

journals.

• “Shares” a journal’s prestige equally over the total number of citations in that journal.

• Normalizes for differences in citation behavior between subject fields.

The New Affiliation Profile

Adopted by OECD for research statistics

• For more than 40 years, OECD has been one of the world's largest and most reliable sources of comparable statistics, and economic and social data

• OECD monitors trends, analyses and forecasts economic develop-ments and researches social changes or evolving patterns in trade, environment, agriculture, technology, taxation and more

• The Organisation provides a sett-ing where governments compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and coordinate domestic and international policies

Monitoring, analysing and forecasting

Adopted by ARC for ERA

More info on:http://www.arc.gov.au/era/default.htm

Assessment of research quality within Australia's higher education institutions using a combination of indicators and expert review by committees comprising experienced, internationally-recognized experts.

ERA uses leading researchers to evaluate research in eight discipline clusters.

ERA will detail areas within institutions and disciplines that are internationally competitive, as well as point to emerging areas where there are opportunities for development and further investment.

• Competencies help to identify funding opportunities where the institution has strengths

• Funding information can be mapped to competencies to help identify who receives funding and what strategic partnerships are ‘profitable’

• Interdisciplinary clusters can form relevant groups and benchmark within an interdisciplinary context

• Performance of top researchers and/or groups in interdisciplinary clusters can be evaluated along traditional metrics

• Awarded grants can be showcased in context of produced research output and expertise

• Most influential researchers in traditional disciplines can be shown publicly.

Assessment

• “I am well informed of my high performing areas, but I am not sure of all the new growing areas in detail.”

• “Which areas have we been growing in the past few years”

Strategic Decision-making

• “How much advantage/disadvantage do I have compared to my peers?”

• “Looking globally, which research areas are the high growth areas?”

Recruitment

• “Who should I recruit to strengthen this research area?”

• “I want to know more in detail about the international candidates”

Institutional Collaboration

• “Which institution should we collaborate with to strengthen our life science research field?”

• “What are our target collaboration institution good at”
