« Academics are increasingly encouraged to engage end-users in research, based on the assumption that increased engagement will lead to increased research impact. Universities have a tendency to think about engagement in relation to securing research investment and partnerships by engaging industry, government, or donors. In Australia, this is reinforced by…
« Purpose: The present study explored tendencies of the world’s countries—at individual and scientific development levels—toward publishing in APC-funded open access journals.

« The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is, by far, the most discussed bibliometric indicator. Since its introduction over 40 years ago, it has had enormous effects on the scientific ecosystem: transforming the publishing industry, shaping hiring practices and the allocation of resources, and, as a result, reorienting the research activities and…
« Bibliometrics is a complex and nuanced field, and at times, we’ll admit, it’s even a little arcane. At Science-Metrix we take great pride in explaining indicators to clients: what they mean, how they are calculated, their strengths and weaknesses, and what they can and cannot do. As with so many…
« Science-Metrix was commissioned by SRI International, on behalf of the National Science Foundation, to develop measures and indicators of research and patent activity using bibliometrics and patent data for inclusion in the Science and Engineering Indicators (SEI) 2018. This technical document details the various steps taken to implement the…
