publishing? 2

What is impact Philip Campbell, Editor-in-Chief, Nature Looks
for wonderful, wonderful stuff Survey of 100 most cited papers in
history a lot of them were cited because somewhere in their methods
section they had a little technique that suddenly everybody found
they could use 4
Slide 6
Most cited work in history a 1951 paper describing an assay to
determine the amount of protein in a solution It has achieved than
305,000 citations its lead author, the late US biochemist Oliver
Lowry said Although I really know it is not a great paper I
secretly get a kick out of the response. 5
Slide 7
How is impact measured the art of bibliometrics Bibliometrics
is a statistical analysis of books, articles, or other
publications. Bibliometric analysis use data on numbers and authors
of scientific publications and on articles and the citations
therein (and in patents) to measure the output of
individuals/research teams, institutions, and countries 6

Some issues to consider Citations vs use Public policy impact
Long tail (and disciplines) Monographs 12
Many ways to measure ISI JCR Eigenfactor H-index Journal
analyser Altmetrics Google Scholar
Slide 17
ISI Web of Science Indicates impact of individual article how
many times has my article been cited? Links to Journal Citation
Reports for information on impact of the journal
Slide 18
H-index Attempts to quantify an individuals research output Can
be calculated manually or automatically in Scopus or Web of Science
http://www.harzing.com/pop_hindex.htm
Slide 19
Google Scholar Designed to help authors consider where to
publish Based on h-index Can browse publications in broad areas
such as engineering and computer science, development economics

Slide 20
Journal citation reports (JCR) Thomson Reuters data from WoS
5000 journals in science & technology 1500 journals in social
sciences Indicates - Highest impact journals Most frequently used
journals Largest journals
Slide 21
Journal analyser Scopus (Elsevier)
http://www.scopus.com/source/eval.url SJR weighted by prestige of
journal SNIP - measures conceptual impact by weighting citations
based on total # of citations in a subject field Freely available

from Thomas!)
Slide 22
Eigenfactor Takes into account the prestige of a journal
Attempts to analyse the influence of a journal Journals with ^
impact factor in a field have higher Eigenfactor Data from Thomson
Reuters JCR http://www.eigenfactor.org/
Slide 23
Impact factor JIF ave # times article from journal has been
cited in last two years Uses ISI Web of Knowledge data
Slide 24
Altmetrics Reflect impact of article, not container *Altmetric

name disambiguation Automated linkages between author and
professional activities manuscript submission; grant applications,
etc Endorsed by ARC/NHMRC
Slide 27
Open Access
Slide 28
Open access citation advantage

Slide 29
How? Digital Collections -ANU open access publications
repository -Facilitates ANU Open Access Policy -Disseminate your
research more broadly -Meet funder obligations -Increase your
impact!

Problems That sounds great BUT Remember results are influenced
by * Size * Time/frequency of publication * Non-English language
journals * Journals not indexed by Scopus/WoS
