Methodological aspects : type of counting (2/4) • « Fractionnal » counting : contribution of a country to an article: additionnal • « Distinct integer » counting : participation of a country to an article if in the publication: not additionnal ESTIME – Amman - April 2005
Methodological aspects : Leaflet indicators (3/4) • Indicators used in the leaflets: • World share of publications: • Country total publications / world total • Specialisation index: • For one country : discipline world share / all disciplines world share • Internationalisation of publications: • For one country : International co-publications / total publications • List of partnerships • Visibility indicators: • Citation ; impact; etc… ESTIME – Amman - April 2005
Methodological aspects : visibility indicators (4/4) • Calculation of articles’ citations in a 2 years window • For each article, within 2 years following publication, count of number of times the article was cited. • Citation world shares : Country total citations / world total citations • Impact index • Ratio on citation number to publication number in one discipline and/or country. An impact index is bigger than 1 if in the discipline considered, there are more citations than articles. ESTIME – Amman - April 2005
