Scopus
Scopus at a glance An eye on global research. Scopus, the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research. Scopus delivers the most comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences and Arts & Humanities. As research becomes increasingly global, interdisciplinary and collaborative, you can make sure that critical research from around the world is not missed.
Scopus broad global content means researchers don t miss relevant research More than 61M records from 22K serial titles, 90K conferences and 120K books 21.6M pre 1996 records 36.7M post 1995 records Content from > 5,000 publishers Articles in Press from > 5,027 titles More than 3,780 Gold Open Access journals Indexed Titles from 105 different countries in all geographical regions 40 local languages covered Automatically-generated profiles for more than 15M researchers

Metrics in Scopus IPP SNIP and SJR! New! Article-level metrics H-index
There is no single best indicator that could accommodate all facets of the new reality of bibliometrics. - Wolfgang Glänzel, Head of bibliometrics group Professor at KU Leuven, Belgium
Impact Factor Originated by Eugene Garfield in 1955 evolving into Science Citation Index in 1961. Approximates the average number of citations per recent paper for a journal Calculated yearly starting from 1975
IPP-Impact per Publication Measures the ratio of citations in a year to scholarly papers published in the previous three years. 3 years considered to be an optimal time period to accurately measure citations in most subject fields Not normalized for subject field- when normalized it becomes SNIP
SNIP-Source Normalised Impact per Paper Developed by Henk Moed - CWTS (Centre for Science and Technology Studies)-Leiden University Measures the average citation impact of the publications of a journal, correcting for the differences in citation practices between scientific fields and therefore allowing for more accurate between-field comparisons of citation impact SNIP is field normalized, dependent on likelihood of citation in subject field of source
SNIP: Source-normalized impact per paper All 20K journals have a Source-normalized impact per paper (SNIP) measuring contextual citation impact by weighting citations per subject field - Peer-reviewed papers only - Field s frequency and immediacy of citation - Database coverage - Journal s scope and focus - Measured relative to database median + + + impact per publication (IPP) Citation potential in its subject field Journal IPP Cit. Pot. SNIP (IPP/Cit. Pot.) Inventiones Mathematicae 1.5 0.4 3.8 Molecular Cell 13.0 3.2 4.0
SJR- SCImago Journal Rank Developed by Felix de Moya, CSIC (Spanish Research Council) Prestige metric- not all citations are the same Citations are weighted depending on the status of the source they come from
New- Scopus Article Level Metrics Launched on 29 th July Provided key citation and altmetrics: Citation count & percentile benchmark FWCI Mendeley readership Blog posts, tweets, Facebook
H-Index Originated by Jorge Hirsch in 2005 A group of papers has index h if h of the papers have at least h citations each, and the other papers have no more than h citations each. Attempts to measure both the productivity and impact of the published work of a scholar
The Challenge: Scholarly Name Ambiguity Many researchers that too closely resemble one another. Researchers publish under name variations. Dr. Smith Dr. Smith Dr. Smith Dr. Smith Dr. J. Smith Dr. James Smith
The Solution: The ORCID Registry Original Researcher Contributor ID Dr. Smith Dr. J. Smith Dr. James Smith Dr. James Smith 46533489 ORCID Mission: ORCID aims to solve the name ambiguity problem in research and scholarly communications by creating a central registry of unique identifiers for individual researchers
