Use of citation data to aid internationalisation
Elizabeth GaddAcademic Services Manager
The context The hope The possibilities The practicalities
Aims of the session
The context
THE World Rankings 2012
The hope
Research with international co-authors is more highly cited than that with local/single author
+ Citation data can be used to broker such
international partnerships
= Sell the use of citation data to the International
office!
Internationalisation – my logic
The possibilities
Where are we currently collaborating Where is there potential for collaboration Gaining an overview of our research
collaboration with a particular institution an individual country
Which authors are involved in the collaboration How successful the collaboration is in terms of citations.
Uses for citation data
The practicalities
Which counties we are collaborating with
