  1. On Standards in Science Metrics and Classifications Henk F. Moed Elsevier, Amsterdam, Netherlands Workshop on Science Metrics, Classifications, and Mapping Standards, August 11-12, 2011 School of Library and Information Science, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA

  2. Workshop on "Bibliometric Standards", River Forest, Illinois , USA (11/06/1995)

  3. Workshop on "Bibliometric Standards", River Forest, Illinois , USA (11/06/1995) • Standards can not be set by committee but must evolve through an on-going debate • Perhaps, the Scientometric community needs a refereed forum more dedicated to methodological issues • Often technical controversies reflect theoretical issues

  4. Standardisation is (also) ........ • Providing frameworks in which various approaches can be positioned and compared with one another • Example 1: Research assessment indicators • Example 2: Subject classifications

  5. Example 1: The Multi-Dimensional Research Assessment Matrix Expert Group on the Assessment of University-Based Research (AUBR, 2010)

  6. Multi‐dimensional Research Assessment Matrix (Part)

  7. Multi‐dimensional Research Assessment Matrix (Part) Read column- wise

  8. Multi‐dimensional Research Assessment Matrix (Part)

  9. Multi‐dimensional Research Assessment Matrix (Part)

  10. MD-RAM: Example 1 • Publications in international jrnls; • Actual citation impact • Individual • Hiring/promotion • Productivity & impact • PhD date, place, supervisor; • Invitations for conferences

  11. Multi‐dimensional Research Assessment Matrix (Part)

  12. MD-RAM: Example 2 • Publications in international jrnls; • Actual citation impact • Research group • Allocate resources • Res. productivity & impact • Competitive research income; • Ratio research active/total staff

  13. Positioning bibliometric products

  14. Example 2: Journal subject classification systems

  15. Journal subject classifications based on ..... • Semantic words in journal titles • Journal-to-journal citations • Journal co-citation analysis • Journal bibliographical coupling • Journal co-usage analysis • Semantic words from article titles and abstracts • Thesaurus subject terms in disciplinary databases

  16. Three citation relationships A A B A B C B C A cites B B is a cited reference in A B and C are co-cited by A A and B are bibliographically coupled via C

  17. Analogy Model

  18. Forming subject categories from journal titles

  19. Subject categories: Examples

  20. Proposal • Use the classification based on journal title words as a benchmark.... • ... as it represents a classification that everyone can grasp intuitively.... • .... and illustrate the special features and added value of the new approach
