  1. The scientific production of NOVA: evolvement and prospectsUpdate of the bibliometric study of NOVA June 29th, 2012

  2. Bibliometricanalysis • Main objectives: • Assess the impact of NOVA publications (articles, letters, reviews) in journals indexed to WoS and compare with the results of the previous studies (2000-06 & 2002-08) • Identify areas of excellence, strengths, and weaknesses • Benchmark NOVA with other Portuguese and European Universities • Map collaborative research and design instruments for research management

  3. WoS “coverage” of NOVA andunits Solid conclusions can be withdrawn for the majority of the Natural and Exact Sciences, where the coverage of Web of Science is excellent

  4. WoS “coverage” of FCT departments

  5. Production and normalized impact * percentages are relative to 2000-2006 CPP/FCSm, Field Normalized Citation Impact - this indicator compares the average number of citations excluding self-citations (CPP) obtained by a research unit to the international reference value (FCSm, the mean field(s) citation score). It is a normalized indicator that corrects for differences in “citation habits” among scientific areas MNCS, Mean Normalized Citation Score – New indicator that replaced CPP/FCSm in 2010. It is also a normalized indicator, but the calculation method is different If CPP/FCSm or MNCS values are between 0.8-1.2 the impact is similar to the international average. A value >1.2 means that the impact is above average

  6. Evolution of impact The impact of NOVA publications has been increasing and reached 1.05 in 2007-2010

  7. Highly-cited papers (2004-2008) Top20% - 559 (9% lower than expected) Top10% - 283 (9% lower) Top5% - 133 (14% lower) Top1% - 35 (13% higher) – 17 with corresponding author from UNL ** 2004-2008 paperscounted in 5 years; allother data corresponds to 4 years

  20. Research collaboration at NOVA

  21. Research Collaboration External collaboration, in particular international collaboration, is extremely relevant and with high impact

  22. Collaboration between NOVA units (2004-2010) 253 (5.4% of total publications) with FCT / Total = 86.1% FCT-ITQB / Total = 61.7%

  23. Collaboration between FCT departments 2004-2010 236 - 9.4% of total FCT publications Multiple research cultures within FCT

  24. Research collaboration – comparison with 2000-2006 2000-2006 intra UNL – 194 (5.8% of total publications) intra FCT – 192 (10.0% of FCT publications) 2004-2010 intra UNL – 253 (5.4% of total publications) intra FCT – 236 (9.4% of FCT publications) How to promote a culture of collaborative and transdisciplinar research at NOVA?
