  8. Impact on Research Future impact measures: • Number of submissions to IJSG and acceptance rate compared with competitors (other journals) – 2 years • IJSG Impact Factor (IF) (or others: SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), SNIP, etc.) compared with competitors – 4/5 years • e.g. Elsevier Computer&Education IF=2.775 • GALA Conference and IJSG indexed on Scopus/ISI/DBLP/etc. - 2/3 years • GALA consortium h-index (difficult to calculate) • GALA has index h if h of the GALA papers have at least h citations each • Tools usage: number of active users of studies and catalogue - 1 year GALA Impact

  11. Impact on General Public GALA Impact • More difficult to understand then the scientific impact • No standard mesures like IF, Scopus, h-Index, etc. • About the social, there are some notions of “influence” as a measure of impact: • Klout – GALA=46/100 • http://klout.com/#/dashboard • PeerIndex – GALA=29 • http://my.peerindex.com/gameandlearning • Kred – GALA=664/1000 influence, 4/12 outreach level • http://kred.com/ • We can set some targets here also…

  12. Impact on General Public GALA Impact • About the web positioning, we can use some ranking(i.e. Alexa Rank): • Galanoe.eu : Global Rank (GR) = 3,467,109 • (IEEE.org GR = 2,865) (ACM.org GR = 8,663) (google.com GR = 1) • US Competitor seriousgamesassociation.com GR= 4,127,141 • Others EU projects on TEL: • ea-tel.eu : GR = 2,969,373 • seriousgamesnet.eu (SEGAN Project) : GR = 3,348,251 • stellarnet.eu : GR = 11,430,111 • teleurope.eu : GR = not enough data to rank this website • We can set some targets…
