InCites Bibliometric analysis of research output and impact with peer comparisons. 13
Questions InCites answers for funders What papers resulted from our funding? Which have the highest impact in their field? Which of our funded authors are producing high impact research? What fields of research are they publishing in? What journals? What institutions are we funding? How do they compare to each other? What authors, institutions, and countries are citing our funded works?
InCites offers different types of analysis to answer a variety of research evaluation questions • Research Performance Profile: Run custom reports on journal and conference literature you have funded. Measure researcher impact, collaboration success, and field strengths. Global Comparisons: Compare research impact of countries and universities. Analyze trends back to 1981. Institutional Profiles: Compare institutions using a 360o view. Includes bibliometric indicators, academic reputation survey, and institution submitted data,
Normalized citation metrics put citation information in context • Citation rates vary among fields. What is good or average in mathematics is very different from what is good or average in biochemistry. • 23.3 cites/paper • H-index: 13 • 14.5 cites/paper • H-index: 7 • 9.8 cites/paper • H-index: 7 • 4.2 cites/paper • H-index: 3 • How “good” is this? What is the context? • Additional metrics are needed to understand research performance.
Guidelines for citation analysis For further guidance on citation metrics, download the white papers at: http://science.thomsonreuters.com/info/bibliometrics/http://isiwebofknowledge.com/media/pdf/UsingBibliometricsinEval_WP.pdf • Compare like with like – The Golden Rule • Use relative measures, not just absolute counts • More applicable to hard sciences than arts/humanities • Know your data parameters: • journal categories • author names • author addresses • time periods • document types • Obtain multiple measures • Recognize skewed nature of citation data • Ask whether the results are reasonable • Understand your data source
InCites: Global ComparisonsAnalyze global trends in publication Contains data on: -countries and regions -9 category schemes -thousands of institutions
Analyze Research Activity by Country Public, Environmental, and Occupational Health is a growing field in these Asian countries, particularly China.
Analyze Research Activity by Country For these countries, relative citation impact in this field is close to the world average. 1.0 represents the world average (field baseline)
Identify which institutions are contributing to China’s growth These Chinese institutions are producing the most research in this field.
InCites: Research Performance Profile custom built for detailed analysis of your publications
Options for building a Research Performance Profile for a Funder Web of Science funding acknowledgements Medline funding acknowledgments for records shared by Medline and Web of Science Matching data provided by the customer: Pubmed IDs, UTs (Web of Science unique identifier), bibliographic records supplied by funder
InCites includes a detailed dataset built to your specifications View detailed metrics on each article from your dataset This paper ranks in the top 0.23% of all neuroscience reviews from 2000. Compare a citation count to journal and category norms. This paper clearly outperforms the average. Examples taken from Mt Sinai School of Medicine sample dataset
Analyze researcher performance: Neurosciences Sort by number of documents to identify the most prolific authors These metrics are unique to InCites. They normalize citation performance by research field. Hof, PR received over 2 times the expected rate of citation in neuroscience, and on average his papers rank in the top 18% of neuroscience papers.
Generate dashboards for a variety of citation metrics, e.g. Hof, PR Mean percentile: on average, Hof’s papers rank in the top 20% of their respective fields Journal actual/expected ratio: Hof gets cited 1.4 times the average for the journals he publishes in H index: 65 papers have been cited at least 65 times each Self citation analysis: 13% of Hof’s citations are self citations. H index without self citations is 58.
Identify potential new areas of excellence: analyze data by research field Medical ethics comprises a small portion of Mt Sinai’s total output, but the category normalized impact is over 2 times the expected rate.
Understand research collaborations among your funded institutions Mt Sinai doesn’t collaborate often with McGill Univ, but the research has high impact in its field.
What is the global impact of your research? Identify government bodies, global universities, and corporations who are building on your work.
Understand the co-funders of your research Where else are your fundees getting support? Look for specific grant numbers. View the topics funded by Dept of Veterans Affairs Drill down to papers funded by Pfizer.
