6 Agree or Disagree? Google any common topic and you get millions of results Not all results are equally important You only have time for the most important and impactful results The problem pobe is not lack of information. ato It is too much information Identification of important and relevant work is key to Identification of important and relevant work is key to effective literature review

46 Journal Immediacy Index Measure of how often the average article from a journal is cited within its same year of publication A reflection of the hotness of journals in a specific discipline Calculated using only 1 year of data Immediacy Index = # of citations to all items published in 2014 Immediacy Index 2014 = Articles & reviews published in 2014

47 Impact Factor & Journal Ranking Choose a subject category to see all journals in that subject category, sortedby default by impact factors. Each journal has at least one subject category. JCR provides the context for you to understand how good/poor an impact factor is. Total Cites refer to citations to all articles in the journal, whatever the years. Note: Impact factor is useful but DOES NOT replace informed peer review.

48 Information on other journal metrics Immediacy index measure of how quickly, on average, items from a journal is cited. The higher, the quicker. Eigenfactor score metric intended to measure the importance of a journal to the scientific community, by considering the origin of the incoming citations, and is thought to reflect how frequently an average researcher would access content from that journal.

49 Enhancements in JCR 2015 Several metrics Remove self citations for deeper understanding Is this journal cited by Influencial journals? You know the Quartile of the journal, but do you know where it ranks in this quartile? A pillar rule of Bibliometrics: Do not rely on a single indicator! (e.g. Impact Factor)

56 JCR Quiz - True/False questions Any journal can calculate and publish its own impact factor. False! Impact factors are published ONLY by Thomson Reuters in its annual Journal Citation Reports. Be careful of fake impact factors! JCR covers Science, Social Sciences and Arts & Humanities journals. False! JCR does not cover Arts & Humanities journals as citation analysis is less useful in those subjects.

57 JCR Quiz - True/False questions High impact factor journals are always better than journals with lower impact factors False! Impact factors are subject dependent and it is unfair to compare impact factors superficially between different subjects. Thomson Reuters take serious actions against citation manipulation True! Thomson Reuters monitors its database and is the True! Thomson Reuters monitors its database and is the ONLY database provider that has a history of annual deselections.

80 h-index Calculation Can be Automated ` `

81 h-index Measures Both the Output and Impact I propose the index h, defined as the number of papers with citation ti number h, as a useful index to calculate l the scientific output of a researcher (2005). Jorge E. Hirsch h-index of 1 = 1 paper with at least 1 citation h-index of 2 = 2 papers with at least 2 citations... h-index of h = h papers with at least h citations To have high h-index, you need many papers and many citations to those papers!

82 h-index can be calculated by listing all your published papers p in order To manually calculate your h-index, organize articles in descending order, based on the number of times they have been cited. Article Number No. of Citations h-index= i.e 6 articles with 6 or more citations These articles do not 9 0 contribute to the h-index

83 What s the h-index for this researcher? To manually calculate your h-index, organize articles in descending order, based on the number of times they have been cited. Article Number No. of Citations h-index=1 i.e 1 article with 1 or more citations These articles do not contribute to the h-index h-index measures both the output and impact! High h-index shows both high number of papers and high citation counts.

84 What s the h-index for this researcher, again? Article Number No. of Citations h-index=10 i.e 10 articles with 10 or 11 7 more citations 12 4 These articles do not 13 2 contribute to the h-index
