14 14 Ongoing Scopus Expansion Programs at No Extra Costs Pre-1996 Cited Reference Expansion Program Cited references going back to 1970, 8M+ articles Conference Expansion Program with Focus on Engineering and Computer Sciences +1,000 new titles, +6,000 events, +400K papers and +5M references Books Expansion Program with Focus on Social Sciences and Arts & Humanities 120K books back to K every year Already in Scopus : Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Brill, De Gruyter, Woodhead, Karger, Oxford University Press, Edward Elgar, Maney, Intellect, IOS Press, Pan Stanford, University of California Press, Princeton University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Delft University Press, Duke University Press, McGill Queens University Press, Project Muse (60+ UPs), OECD and more 14

15 15 Funding data being added to Scopus as we speak What? Add full text acknowledgement sections to Scopus Index the Funding information (Funding nr, Funding Acronym, Funding Sponsor) Why? Funder to see their ROI Full text allows for verification of funding data & identifying additional funding sources Coverage years Going back to 2008 and from 2016 going forward

16 16 Content Selection & Advisory Board (CSAB) Titles are selected by the independent Content Selection & Advisory Board (CSAB) Focus on quality through content selection by the independent CSAB because: Provide accurate and relevant search results for users No dilution of search results by irrelevant or low quality content Support that Scopus is recognized as authoritative Support confidence that Scopus reflects the truth

17 17 Less than half of the reviewed titles are selected for Scopus coverage The CSAB is selective and strict on quality: in total 5,411 titles reviewed ( ) of which 2,587 (48%) accepted for Scopus ±15,000 Suggestions (±3,000 Serials per year suggested) ±5,000 (33%) Meet Scopus minimum criteria ±5,000 Reviewed by CSAB <50% Accepted

18 18 Scopus can help researchers Find out what already exists in the global world of research output Determine how to differentiate research topics and find new ideas Decide what, where and with whom to partner or collaborate with Track impact of research; monitor global research trends Identify and analyze which journals to read or where to submit an article Help researchers manage their career through citation counts and the h-index

19 19 Scopus Search Content & Support Tools

20 A researcher reads > 300 articles per year 3.7 Hrs spent SEARCHING for articles per week Researchers spend an average 10 hours per week searching for and reading articles 5.6 Hrs spent READING articles per week.of which, 3.5 hours is spent searching for research articles and 5.5 hours reading. Researchers in Chemistry and Life Science spend longer than average searching for articles and chemists spend longer reading Younger researchers spend > 4hrs a week searching. Researchers from China spend longer searching (six hours) and reading (nine hours) articles than any other country. n=4, A researcher typically reads six articles per week. Chemists read nine per week. Mathematicians read four articles per week. China-based researchers read one more than average per week (7 articles). After searching and reading for 10 hrs per week only 42% of the papers read are considered important. 42% regarded as important 6 articles read per week

21 Search Tips General 1. Capital / Non-capital letter 2. Singular / Plural forms / Possessives 3. British / American spellings 4. ( ) Quotation mark 5. ( {... } ) Curly Brackets Wildcards 1. (? ) Question Mark for one alphabet search Ex. Wom?n = Woman, Women 2. ( * ) Asterisk for multi alphabets search Ex. Toxi* = Toxic, Toxicity, Toxicology etc. 3. Subscript and Superscript: Ex. "H 2 O," enter H2O 4. Accented Characters: Ex. Fürst, enter Fürst or Furst. Operator Priority Order 1. OR 2. W/n or PRE/n 3. AND 4. AND NOT 21

22 22 Search Term Rules - Boolean Boolean Operators AND Finds only documents that contain all of the terms. The terms may be far apart from each other. e.g. food AND poison OR Finds documents that contain any of the terms. It is used to cover synonyms, alternate spellings, or abbreviations. e.g. weather OR climate; green fluorescent protein OR gfp AND NOT Excludes documents that include the specified term from the search. It must be used at the end of a search. e.g. tumor AND NOT malignant

23 23 Order of Precedence Rules Boolean Proximity operators Pre/n and W/n are processed after OR and before AND This is a similar concept to order of operations in maths Basically, the search engine needs to know what to do first Pre/n W/n

39 39 Research Profile in Scopus

40 40 What is the Challenge? Scholarly Name Ambiguity Many researchers that too closely resemble one another. Researchers publish under name variations. Dr. Lim Dr. Lim Dr. Lim Dr. Lim Dr. W. Lim Dr. W.L. Lim Dr. Wee Li Lim Dr. L. Wee Li

41 41 What is the solution? ORCID! ORCID, the Original Researcher Contributor ID, provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized. Dr. Lim Dr. W. Lim Dr. Wee Li Lim Dr. Wee Li Lim

42 42 ORCID has been gaining users and using Elsevier systems!

45 Author quantity & quality by h-index 45 Developed in 2005 by Jorge Hirsch, a condensed-matter physicist and peace activist from University of California in San Diego The h-index is the highest number of papers a scientist has that have at least that number of citations. Nature (2005) Ignores the highly & poorly cited papers Dynamic, not a static number can change as citations increase, realtime in Scopus Can be used to measure : Authors, Journals, Institutions, Departments, Faculties, Selection of Papers etc..etc..etc

46 46 Analyze Author Output

47 47 Author Feedback Some authors have more than one Author Profile, in which case they can easily be combined. Incorrect documents can also be removed during this process.

48 48 Author Feedback Wizard The Author Feecback Wizard allows you to make changes to an author profile The best person to give such feedback is of course the author him/herself, but in principal others can also give feedback

49 49 Affiliation Search Here we do an affiliation search for Thailand

50 Affiliation Search Results 50 The results shows all affiliation profiles which includes Thailand in either the name or country field.

51 Affiliation Profiles 51 Affiliation profiles are profiles which group papers published at relevant institutions. The Quality of the profiles is Excellent, yet institutions are welcome to provide feedback to Elsevier.

55 55 Impact Factor TM A ratio between citations and recent citable items published in a journal; the average number of citations received per published article. Citations to nonsource items (editorials, letters, news items, book reviews, abstracts, etc) may inflate the IF 2008 Impact Factor = A = the number of times that all items published in that journal in 2006 and 2007 were cited by indexed publications during B = the total number of "citable items" published by that journal in 2006 and ("Citable items" for this calculation are usually articles, reviews, proceedings, or notes; not editorials or letters to the editor).

56 Influences on the IF: Subject field Multidisciplinary emistry, Genetics & Molecular Biology Neuroscience Immunology & Microbiology Chemistry acology, Toxicology & Pharmaceutics Medicine Chemical Engineering Environmental Science Agricultural & Biological Sciences Psychology Earth & Planetary Science Materials Science Physics & Astronomy Nursing Health Professions Energy Computer Science Veterinary Engineering Mathematics Economics, Econometrics & Finance Social Sciences Business, Management & Accounting 56

59 59 SJR: SCImago Journal Rank All 20K journals have a SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are equal SJR is a variant of the eigenvector centrality measure used in network theory and is inspired by the PageRank algorithm used in Google. Prestige transferred when a journal cites Citations are weighted depending on where they come from journal s prestige is shared equally between its citations Life Sciences journal Arts & Humanities journal High impact, lots of citations One citation = low value Low impact, few on citations One citation = high value SJR normalizes for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields

60 60 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 Three year citation window 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 (RIP/Cit. Pot.) Inventiones Mathematicae Molecular Cell

61 61 CiteScore is a simple metric for all Scopus serial titles A A CiteScore 2015 value = B B CiteScore A = citations to 3 years of documents B = all documents indexed in Scopus, same as A Impact Factor A = citations to 2 or 5 years of documents B = only citable items (articles and reviews), different from A Note: at launch, all serial titles in the May 2016 title list, and with some documents indexed in 2016, will have CiteScore metrics

62 Impact Factor CiteScore 2015 correlates 75% with Impact Factor Impact Factor and 2015 CiteScore R² = CiteScore 2015

63 63 Main advantages of CiteScore Comprehensive Transparent Current Based on Scopus, the world s broadest database A CiteScore will be available for all serials, not just journals CiteScore can be calculated for portfolios CiteScore and associated metrics will be available for free CiteScore is easy to calculate for yourself The underlying database is available for you to interrogate CiteScore Tracker is updated monthly New serial titles will have CiteScore metrics the year after they are indexed in Scopus
