23. Journal Analyzer: • for Editors/publishing teamsThe Scopus Journal Analyzer gives quick, easy access to an objective and transparent overview of the performance of your own and your competitors’ journals over time. This can help you analyze and manage journal portfolios more effectively, identify new growth areas, set out a strategy to increase performance or decide which journals you would like to be an editorial board member for. • for Researchers/University scientistsThe Scopus Journal Analyzer enables you to search for journals within a specific field, identify which are the most influential and find out who publishes them. This will help you to decide where to publish to get the best visibility for your work and how to prioritize your submissions. It can also help you decide which journal you would like to review for. • for Librarians and information specialistsThe Scopus Journal Analyzer enables you to search for all journals in a specific subject area and view their current details and performance over time. This will help you ensure you are only investing in the most influential and relevant journals.

24. Journal Analyzer Provides you with four graphical/table representations of the journals You can select and compare up to 10 journals in a specific field

25. Total Citations displays the total number of citations the selected journals receive over the course of each year

26. Articles Published shows the number of articles published by each journal over time

27. Trend Line provides the number of citations received in that year, regardless of the publication date of the cited document, divided by the total number of documents published in that year

28. % Not Citations shows the percentage of not cited documents of the selected journals over the course of each year

29. Citation Tracker You can follow the impact of published documents via Citation Tracker

30. Citation Tracker Number of documents cited articles from Tsitologiya I Genetika (2003) Articles published in Tsitologiya I Genetika in 2003

31. The Scopus Author Identifier The Scopus Author Identifier helps solve one of the biggest problems associated with author searching: • How do you distinguish between articles belonging authors with similar names? • How can you be confident that you captured all results for an author when their name is recorded in different ways? • And, can you be sure that names with unusual characters such as accents have been included?

32. Author Identifier Author Identifier presents the preferred author name along with the variants of the name that have been grouped into an author profile. Automatic grouping into one Author Profile done by: Variants of name; Source titles; So-authors; Subject area; Affiliation If one of the criteria is not similar, Scopus doesn’t group documents into one Author Profile. But you can do it manually !

33. Author Details We’re open for your feedback

34. Grouping Authors

35. Author’s Output via Citation Tracker Number of documents cited this author’s articles

36. “Real” Author’s Output via Citation Tracker Number of documents cited this author’s articles, excluding self citations

37. h-index The h-index (short for highly cited index) was developed in 2005 by Professor Hirsch, a condensed-matter physicist at the University of California in San Diego, to qualify the impact and quantity of an individual’s research performance. Professor Hirsch states in the introduction to his paper that most researchers seek to gain a better understanding of the impact of their work, “For the few scientists who earn a Nobel Prize, the impact and relevance of their research is unquestionable. How does one quantify the cumulative impact and relevance of an individual’s scientific research output?”

38. h-index formula A scientist has index h if h of his or her NP (number of papers) papers have at least h citations each and the other (NP – h) papers have fewer than h citations each. J.E. Hirsch, “An index to quantify an individual’s scientific research output,” PNAS 102, 16569-16572 (2005) http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/physics/pdf/0508/0508025.pdf

41. Benefits of Author Identifier: • for authorsit does the hard work for you by automatically matching variations of an author’s name and distinguishing between authors with the same name. All the documents beloning to a speciifc author will be listed in the author's details (including numbers of citations received, affiliations, h-index) • for deans, chancellors, provosts and heads of departmentsit will ensure you can identify people and their work more quickly and efficiently. This leaves you with more time for the actual work and enables you to make well-informed strategic decisions. • for librarians and information specialistsit ensures you have all the documents belonging to an individual author as part of your institute within your own repository.

42. The Scopus Affiliation Identifier is the world’s first online tool to automatically identify and match an organization with all of its research output. It turns an expensive and laborious task into a simple search - leaving you with more time to analyze the results and make clear, informed decisions. This is a notoriously difficult task because the organization’s name is often spelled or recorded differently by individual sources; it may change its name or have a name that is very similar to another organization. One such example is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where articles found in Scopus and published by authors belonging to this institute carry more than 1,700 name variants.

43. Affiliation Search

44. Organization’s Profile

45. Organization’s data Journals where published University’s authors The most published author of the University The most cited author of the University

46. Benefits of Affiliation Identifier: • for deans, chancellors, provostsit will help reduce investment in research performance measurement by reducing the time needed by staff to perform laborious bibliometric searches. This will allow money to be invested in other areas such as education and learning. Ultimately, the Scopus Affiliation Identifier will help you make faster, better-informed strategic decisions • for heads of departmentsit reduces the time needed to identify and aggregate all the documents belonging to a specific organization. This leaves you with more time to do the actual benchmarking analysis, and enables you to make well-informed strategic decisions • for senior and middle managementit will ensure you can identify research trends more quickly and efficiently • for librariansit ensures you have all the documents belonging to your institute within your own repository.
