  2. What is bibliometrics and why bother about it? • Is someone reading and building on your results? • Statistics on publications and citations • Measuring Impact on research society • Used for evaluation of research • Publication level • Individual level • Organizational level

  3. Use of bibliometrics Research assessment at KTH University rankings Recruitment of researchers Fundingallocation (part of futurepeerassessment?) Research funders

  4. Bibliometric indicators Field normalized citation rate H-index Journal Impact Factor Photo - http://www.flickr.com/photos/tysonneil/179407461/

  5. Field normalized citation rate Same research field same year same documenttype Average = 1 For a publication:

  6. Field normalized citation rate Used at different levels • Rankings (university level) • Funding allocation (university level) • Assessment (research groups)

  7. H-index • H-index Used at individual level • Recruitment • Research funding • Definition: ”A scientist has index h if h of his/her Np papers have at least h citations each, and the other (Np − h) papers have no more than h citations each.”

  8. H-index

  9. Bibliometrics at KTH • Research Assessment Exercise (research groups, UoA) • Yearly indicator report (KTH Schools) • Funding allocation

  10. Funding allocation Field normalized citation rate Relative to size of school budget (size of school) Currently, re-allocation of 20 MSEK of KTH research funds

  11. Research Assessment Exercise • Researcher based • Wide range of indicators • Publishing • Number of publications • Coverage in Web of Science • Field normalized citation rate of the journals, in average. • Impact • Citations • Field normalized citation rate • Share of 10% most cited publications in the research field. • Collaboration • Share of internationally co-authored publications

  12. Yearly indicator report • Number of peer reviewed articles • Number of peerreviewedconferencepapers • Field normalized citation rate • Top 10% publications • Number and Share of level 2 publications in the Norwegian system • Number of publications co-published with industry • Share of publications internationally co-published

  13. Databases used for bibliometrics Web of Science is the most important database for bibliometric analyses Scopus is the second most important, (and more or less the only alternative)

  14. Google Scholar • Good search tool • Cover all types of publications (including patents) • Not used for ”serious” bibliometrics • Poorly defined contents • Normalizations not possible • Primitive user interface • Third-party user interface: Publish or perish (http://www.harzing.com/pop.htm)

  15. Google Scholar

  16. Choice of journal Journal Prestige Audience Outreach Language Impact In Web of Science? Peer review process In Scopus? Relevancetosubject Google/Google Scholar Format Open Access

  17. Journal Impact Science 17 May 2013 Much discussed and critizedeghttp://www.sciencemag.org/content/340/6134/787.fulland http://am.ascb.org/dora/ JIF is a poor proxy for the number of citations to expect. Overrated as an indicator of where to publish to maximize citations Could be useful as a proxy for the ”brand value” of a paper - for indivduals and universities

  18. Journal Impact Factor (JIF)How is it calculated? Citations from 2012 Issues from 2010-2011 JIF = Citations 2012/ Citable Items 2010-2011 Thomson Reuters description http://thomsonreuters.com/products_services/science/free/essays/impact_factor/

  19. To access Journal Citation Reports Through the KTH-library site select >Search Tools > Databases > Web of Knowledge > Add Resources > Journal Citation Reports https://www.kth.se/kthb

  20. Journal Impact Factor (JIF) a measure of the speed at which content in a particular journal is picked up and referred to Eigenfactor Score = the percentage of the total weighted citations that journal i receives. It is adjusted for differences in citation patterns among disciplines. Article Influence Score =a measure of the per-article citation influence of the journal

  21. Alternatives to the WoS JIF • Eigenfactor.org • eigenfactor.org or through Web of Knowledge • Based on WoS (ca 8 300 journals) • Field normalized (using a PageRank algorithm) • Citations from high impact journals are valued higher • Are not influenced by journal self-citation. • SCImago journal rank • scimagojr.com/journalrank.php or through Scopus • Based on Scopus data (ca 20 000 journals) • Field normalized (using a PageRank algorithm) • SNIP (source normalized impact) • through Scopus • Based on Scopus (probably also WoS in the future) • “Source normalized”  more fair evaluation of applied fields

  22. To access Scopus Through the KTH-library site >Search Tools > Databases > Scopus > Analytics https://www.kth.se/kthb

  23. Improving your visibility using uniqe author identifiersOpen Researcher and Contributor ID http://orcid.org/

  24. ORCID can import publication data from Scopus Author ID ResearcherID (Web of Science) CrossRef

  25. Personal ORCID site eg http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5739-5213

  26. DiVA – KTH publication database • Budget citation indicator and school indicators • KTH RAE 2012 • Dynamic listings for • CV • Profile pages • web pages

  27. DiVA • The researchers at KTH should register all new publications not registered by Web of Science or Scopus • When register: • Check for duplicates • KTH-ID (u1l3g15d) • Organization • WoS-ID

  28. DiVA • Check for duplicates

  29. DiVA • KTH-ID (u1l3g15d)

  30. DiVA • Organization

  31. DiVA • Web of Science ID

  32. DiVA Strategic research areas

  33. Open Access Green – Parallel publishing Gold – Publishing in Open Access journals

  34. Open Access • Mandated by • VR • Riksbankensjubileumsfond • Formas • Knut och Alice Wallenbergsstiftelse • Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) • European Research Council (ERC)

  35. More impact/citations with Open Access? • Some studies show that OA articles get more downloads and more citations - Other show no advantage - debate is still going on • Morepossibleciters • Easier access • Easierindexing for web crawlers • Bettervisibilityoutside the research community • No contradiction between OA and high impact factor journals • If choosing to publish in OA journals the same recommendations apply • Check outreach and impact • Check the peer review process • Relevance • …

  36. Citations and collaboration

  37. Citations and collaboration Publicationswith less than 100 authorsincluded

  38. Social media • Why? • Findpublications • Sharepublications • Make research visual • Collaborate • Correlation between social media impact and bibliometrics? • Differences between research fields

  39. Altmetrics

  40. KTH’s policy for scientific publishing Aim: To make KTH's scientific publishing more visible for the international scientific community and the general public http://www.kth.se/en/kthb/publicering/vagledning/policydokument-1.182530 Publish in international high-impact journals Make articles freely available by publishing in Open Access journals or do parallel publishing Write popular science to increase KTH visibility and impact on society Register publications in the KTH publication database DiVA

  41. Affiliation KTH Royal Institute of Technology

  42. Summary of KTH’s Publishing guide Ulf Kronman, 2011, Guide to Scientific Publication Management for Researchers at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, URL: http://kth.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2:450945 Check the outreach of your publishing channel. Check the impact of your journal. Publish in English. Plan your research and publishing for cooperation. Use a unique and consistent author name. Write your organizational affiliation in a way that is easy to identify by an international audience. Register your publication in the KTH publication database DiVA. Publish your article Open Access if possible. Contact the Department of Publication Infrastructure at the ECE School for support and more information.
