9 Scopus Author Profile Screenshot: Scopus Author Information Screenshot: Scopus Author Information 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. Access to the Expertise of Other Researchers Author identification in Scopus is so easy to use and solves a problem that experienced users have long expressed a frustration with. It also builds on an existing strength of Scopus; supporting the collaboration between authors. Amy Knapp, Assistant University Librarian for Public Services and Departmental Libraries, USA

10 H-Index DEFINITION 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 An author with H-Index 13 has at least 13 articles published that received at least 13 citations. H-INDEX on SCOPUS EXAMPLE Available from Author Profiles and Citation Tracker pages. H Index calculation in Scopus only considers articles published from 1996 onwards.

15 Analytics New Metrics Apply to nearly 18,000 journals, proceedings and book series Are refreshed twice per year to ensure currency of metrics Allow for a direct comparison of journals, independent of their subject classification Are integrated into the Scopus Journal Analyzer Are FREELY available 19

16 New Metrics - SNIP SOURCE NORMALIZED IMPACT PER PAPER (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. 20

17 New Metrics - SJR SCIMAGO JOURNAL RANKING (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. 21

22 The New Affiliation Profile

23 Adopted by OECD for research statistics Monitoring, analysing and forecasting 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 developments and researches social changes or evolving patterns in trade, environment, agriculture, technology, taxation and more The Organisation provides a setting where governments compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and coordinate domestic and international policies

24 Adopted by ARC for ERA 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.
