What was not fully understood, however, was the underlying cause of this association. Editors and journalists tend to promote what they view as the most important and novel…
« Report kicks off initiative to help researchers demonstrate and achieve impact
While measurement of science impact has traditionally been synonymous with citation counts in academic journals, such counts fail to capture the influence that research can have on policy, practice, and the public. While the social and behavioral sciences (SBS)…
« It can take months or even years for research to go from ideation to publication, with the vast majority of findings generated along the way often restricted to the offline world — hidden in printed posters, computer files, and the pages of lab notebooks.
This is starting to change, however,…
« Over the last years, many organizations have been working on infrastructure to facilitate sharing and reuse of research data. This means that researchers now have ways of making their data available, but not necessarily incentives to do so. Several Research Data Alliance (RDA) working groups have been working on ways…
« Quantitative metrics are playing an increasingly important role in the assessment of academic careers. Wilhelm Krull, Secretary General of the Volkswagen Foundation, considers other characteristics to be more important. (…) »
« There’s been a flurry of reports and announcements on open science over the last few weeks. (…)
At July’s Coalition for Networked Information (CNI)/Jisc event in Oxford earlier in the year, Adam Tickell of the University of Sussex outlined four challenges for universities in the UK: a crisis in confidence…

Today, we are releasing the 2018 version of Scholar Metrics. This release covers articles published in 2013–2017 and includes citations from all articles that were indexed…
« Over the last five years the use, and abuse, of metrics in research assessment has been in sharp focus, with three major frameworks – the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), the Leiden Manifesto and The Metric Tide – all calling for a step change in the culture of metrics…
« This chapter approaches, both from a theoretical and practical perspective, the most important principles and conceptual frameworks that can be considered in the application of social media metrics for scientific evaluation. We propose conceptually valid uses for social media metrics in research evaluation. The chapter discusses frameworks and uses of…
