18. TRENDS IN ACADEMIC RESEARCH • THES “TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION SUPPLEMENT”

21. New Scopus release & improved support for measuring academic research performance: 26 April 2008 Find information effectively Make better-informed decisions

22. Agenda • Upcoming release • Update on Scopus content • Scopus cited-by integration • Benchmarking study • Custom Data

23. Spring Release: At a glance • Affiliation Identifier – world’s first online tool to automatically identify and group an organization with all its research output • Journal Evaluator – comparative overview of journal performance by discipline • Author Citations Alerts – monitoring an author’s citations • Maintain Alerts – ongoing notification of results and citations for former-users • Shibboleth access – same login for Scopus and other resources, both inside and outside customer institutions.

24. Affiliation Identifier

25. Challenges: Academics & Governments • Institutions: under pressure to analyze and quantify research achievements of own institute and others • Senior managers: take resource allocation decisions • Middle managers: analyze research trends • Students: decide where they want to study/do research • Funding bodies, governments, beneficiaries: quantitatively evaluate institutions by counting the number of research papers produced over time

26. In other words … it’s all about resources … • Time • to pursue research • to analyze research output • Money • to fund research • to attract/keep right research But … spelling variants of institutes make it difficult to spend these resources in a useful way

27. Scopus offers the solution: Affiliation Identifier • The world’s first online tool to automatically identify and group an organization with all its research output • Launched • ++ integration into the Scopus interface and operating across the entire database of 15,000 peer-reviewed journals (Spring release, 26 Apr 2008) • View an organization’s summary page • Provide feedback when logged in (e.g. merge profiles)

28. Affiliation Identifier: What does it do? • Matches institutional name variants into profiles • via a combination of sophisticated algorithms • against comprehensive knowledge base of standardised affiliation names of 4.4mln profiles • 2mln main institute profiles • 2.4mln department profiles (e.g. univ hospital) • Provides the vital first step towards reviewing an organisation’s research output, hence leaves more time for the actual research Identifying an institution’s output could easily take a couple of days. With Scopus this will take at most a few minutes.

29. Affiliation Identifier: Something for everyone • Deans, chancellors, provosts: can spend less time and money measuring research performance and channel it into other areas • Heads of departments: can spend less time aggregating and more time on benchmarking analysis. Make good decisions faster • Managers, project leaders: spot trends, collaborators and competitors faster and more precisely.

33. More time to do the actual benchmarking analysis and make faster, better-informed resource allocation decisions

34. Journal Evaluation Tool

35. Journal Evaluation Tool: The Challenges • For publishing editors, authors, reviewers, researchers • editors try to establish a superior reputation for their journals • authors, reviewers and researchers will be attracted by the most highly valued and prestigious journals in their subject field • For librarians • librarians need to make well informed budget decisions (portfolio management) • Librarians need to prove that they can provide returns on their investments

36. Journal Evaluation Tool: What does Scopus offer • Gives users a comparative overview of the journal landscape, showing how titles in a given field are performing relative to each other • Quantitative data is presented in an easy, comprehensive graphical format comparing citations of max. 10 journals from over 15,000 peer reviewed journals from today all the way back to 1996 • Data is updated bi-monthly to ensure currency Scopus Evaluation Tool: a tool to make better informed decisions.

37. Journal Evaluation Tool: Benefits to user groups • Editors/publishing teams: helps them to monitor progress against competitors, or decide which titles to become involved with (as board member) • Researchers/Medical Communication Agencies: helps them to decide where to publish, how to prioritize their submissions, or which titles they should review for • Librarians: helpslibrarians invest their budgets in the most important and relevant journals for their portfolio, using the data to develop a long-term acquisitions strategy (incl ISSN, publisher info)

42. Author Citation Alerts

43. Author Citation Alerts: Background • Imagine an author has 500 publications and you would like to know when any of them get cited … • Currently this means 500 document citations alerts • Now with setting up 1 author citation alert it is done for all the publications of an author

44. Author Citation Alerts: Benefits • Author Citation Alert saves valuable time, because users only need to create a search once (instead of e.g. 500) • Ensure to not miss any instance of an author being cited • E-mail notification can be setup on a daily, weekly or monthly basis • E-mail contains links to the Abstracts+Refs pages of the new documents citing the author(s) • Alerts can be managed through the ‘My Alerts’ feature.

45. Author Citation Alerts: How does it work?

46. Author Citation Alerts: How does it work?

47. Author Citation Alerts: How does it work?

48. Author Citation Alerts: additional info • Alerts are already available for searches and document citations • Another new feature as of this release: Users can now set Search Alerts from the Author Details Page

49. Maintain Alerts

50. Maintain Alerts: Benefits • Former Scopus users will continue to receive e-mail notification of search results or citations if they still have personal alerts set up • The notification e-mail will contain a link to “My Alerts” where the user can either maintain, deactivate or permanently delete their alerts • Links to Scopus will not work without a valid subscription to Scopus • Users regaining Scopus access via trial or subscription will be able to access personal alerts previously set-up with their old username and password • “No such thing as a Scopus ex-user” [unles the alert will be deactivated]
