9. Journal Evaluation – some challenges: I’m a publishing author in a niche area, how can I compare with researchers in another scientific field? How can I get a value that reflects citation behaviour in my research area? It’s 2010 – why can I only get a ranking relevant to 2008? Where can I find the data that have been used to generate this number? The Impact Factor does not cover the journal I’m publishing in. What now? Summary: Difficult to compare Not recent enough Lack of clarity of data origin Lack of coverage

January 2010: 2 new journal metrics in Scopus - SJR and SNIP SJR - SCImago Journal Rank SNIP - Source-Normalized Impact per Paper • Comparison Normalization of differences between fields • Recent Refreshed twice per year: April and September • Data origin Eliminates risk of manipulation • Coverage All 19,000+ journals, proceedings and book series in Scopus receiveSJR and SNIP values • www.journalmetrics.com

15. SciVal Spotlight

16. WHAT IS SPOTLIGHT ? 1. Definition: • Spotlight is a web based solution to identify the institutional research strengths. With the aim to assess the institutionalstrategy of research management • It is NOT an evaluation tool for authors or papers 2. What we define as a research strength (competency)? • Areas of research (multi- or single-discipline) where our institution has a significant quantity of papers (from one or more authors) published during the last 5 years • So some highly cited authors may not be shown...

17. WHAT IS SPOTLIGHT ? 3. How we define the areas of research? • Not by: disciplines, key words or journals. • By the CO-CITATION ANALYSIS and the yearly creation of the map of science (Klavans & Boyack).

18. Paper 1 Paper 2 Paper 1 Ref. Paper A Ref. Paper B Ref. Paper A Ref. Paper B Paper 3 Ref. Paper A Ref. PaperB Ref. Paper A Ref. Paper B A and B have a cognitive relationship Strength of relationship proportional to frequency of the co-citation linkage CO-CITATION ANALYSIS: BASED ON TWO ASSUMPTIONS 1 2

19. CO-CITATION ANALYSIS: BASED ON TWO ASSUMPTIONS 4. What is the base of co-citation analysis? • We group all the papers indexed in SCOPUS during the last 5 years in clusters (approx 90.000) based on their references. • We select the clusters in which our institution has a significant number of papers (compared with the largest competitor world wide - RAS). • We group the selected clusters in competencies based on the references of the papers published by our institution

20. SAME CLUSTERS; DIFFERENT GROUPINGS = DISTINCTIVE COMPETENCIES • Athena University’s map • DC 1 = clusters C, D & E • EC 2 = cluster B • Einstein University’s map • DC 1 = cluster A • EC 2 = clusters B, C & D

21. SciVal Spotlight – Research Portfolio Analysis and Optimization • Identify Competencies and Market Strengths • Attract Funding • Spot Interdisciplinary Trends • Strengthen Collaboration • Improve Recruitment and Retention • Use Funds More Strategically
