INTEGRATE CITATION METRICS INTO YOUR WORKFLOW

THE CHALLENGES OF USING CITATION METRICS•Work with « clean », unified and consistent data
•Generate relevant and normalised indicators
•Work and visualize several indicators (multiple angles) simultaneously
•Quickly and regularly produce standardised and reliable reports
• Identify weaknesses and demonstrate strengths of research activities
•Analyse collaborations and identify the most fruitful and efficient ones
•Being able to run fair comparisons between entities (people, departments, universities, countries, etc.)

WEB OF SCIENCE- A TRULY UNIQUE CITATION RESOURCE
•Selectivity and control of content: consistent, transparent standards
•Content: 12500 journals,12000 annual conferences 50000 books and 800 million Cited References
•Multidisciplinary: 251 subject categories
•Consistent and reliable data:
- Cover-to-cover indexing
- Cited references for all years of coverage
- Indexing of all author names and addresses
•Funding acknowledgments: link funding source to outputs

How “good” is this? What is the context?
Additional metrics are needed to understand research performance.
23.3 cites/paperH-index: 13
Citation rates vary among fields and scientific communities.
What is good or average in mathematics is very different from what is good or average in biochemistry.
