Durham Leading Research Programme: Academic ImpactJamie Bisset
Aims of the Module
Researchers intending to publish are met with an increasingly complex world of options, influences and pressures. The digital landscape and developments in open access publishing provide additional dissemination channels beyond traditional print; bibliometric tools purport to measure journals’ academic impact ; funder mandates, institutional mandates and routine research assessment exercises place additional requirements on authors which may influence their choice of where and how to publish. The aim of this module is to help researchers navigate this territory and make well- informed decisions.
Content
• Background to the development and use of publication metrics as research indicators, and the issues surrounding this.
• Journal metrics: assess the academic impact of journals, including Journal Impact Factors, Journal Citation Reports and other measures.
• Citations and author metrics: tools available to assess an authors’ individual citation counts and impact, including the h-index.
Approach
The module will take the form of a workshop with on-screen demonstrations and hands-on opportunity, with some presentation and hand-out materials highlighting issues and discussions within the academic community.
Intended outcomes
By the end of the session participants will:
• Increased awareness of the various journal and author metrics available.
• Developed understanding of the key issues around the use of these metrics and what research behaviours might be incentivised.
• Awareness of the potential opportunities for exploring wider academic and non-academic impact of publications from altmetric tools available.
Durham Researcher Development Programme 2015-16: Bibliometric Research Indica...Jamie Bisset
There is an ever-increasing need to make your research more visible as you establish your career, and metrics to measure your research performance when it comes to thinking about promotion and probation.
This session will focus on bibliometric research indicators (such as the Journal Impact Factor and SCImago, author metrics such as the h-index and g-index) and sources for accessing citation data (Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports and Google Scholar). These may be one of several factors to consider when thinking about where to submit an article manuscript for publication to maximise the potential academic impact of the research, and tools useful to be familiar with if they form part of any research evaluation you and your authored journal papers may be subject to.
An additional section will also look at tips to consider when writing an article abstract to maximise its discoverability and cite-ability.
Learning Outcomes:
• Understanding of meaning and intended uses of bibliometric research indicators
• Understanding of how some key indicators (JIF, H-index) are calculated
• Ability to make a judgement as to the appropriateness and limitations of such indicators
• Ability to use online datasets to view and calculate key bibliometric measures
• Awareness of some factors which can increase the visibility and discoverability of your own research in bibliographic databases.
Previous participants have said:
"The session has helped provide me with the basic information on Journal Impact and where to find information such as an author's h-index. It will be useful for future journal submission consideration."
"This session was very useful for me to become familiar with the topic."

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

51. If we don’t have a copy…
…. make use of Document Delivery Service or
SCONUL Access if we don’t have what you need.
52. Accessing Resources
• Borrow 40 books for up to 6 months
• Renewals and recalls
• Copy service and postal loans for p-t students
• For resources not in stock
– Ask if the library can purchase it
– Use Document Delivery Service and check to see if
your department covers costs
– SCONUL Access allows you to visit and borrow
from other institutions
Example in image: if you get the reference, it is far more likely that the little storm troopers will got lots of information telling them about what droids they are not looking for.
Google does cope better with typing in a sentence or question than many academic databases, but as professional researchers it is not the best way of searching and you should be trying more appropriate techniques, and many of the databases you may need to, or should be using, will not work very well or at all if you search in this way.
Finally, this is about using those key sources you locate to work for you:-
- providing you with a rich source of pre-selected earlier research from their own list of references
- citation searching to see how the ideas and research in the key sources you have identified have been taken and developed further
- started to be commonly used in mid-20th century, replacing earlier terminology no longer perceived as acceptable.
- Now itself perceived as not politically acceptable and being replaced by terms including “intellectual disability”.
- Still in use in the United States and by the WHO sometime after the phrase became less commonly used in United Kingdom.
- Changes in terminology and spelling especially important when searching historic sources such as newspapers, official publication and pamphlet collections.
So, if you only searched for “Donut” you are only missing 5.6% of results. But might these be some key articles?
And how does this scale if you happened to be searching for “donut” AND “zebra” - (243 results on 14th October 2014) neuropsychology, ornithology, domestic abuse, how our brains work when translating as we read,
- Many publications have their own terminology and spelling style guide.
I can only imagine the panic in newspaper offices around the globe as ISIS/ISIL/IS kept changing their name.
Will return to alternative spellings in a minute…
You do need to check for each database what search tools are available and how to use them… these are just five examples used by some of our key databases which work in roughly the same way.
At this point, you also need to recognise that each of these ‘concepts’ could be described in multiple ways, be phrased in different ways or cover a broad range of more focussed topics or areas of interest…
Using various tools we have just mentioned:-
Truncation tool
Wildcard
Phrase searching
(Cranial OR head) NEAR/5 (trauma OR injury)
AND
medieval OR "middle ages"
You do need to check for each database what search tools are available and how to use them… these are just five examples used by some of our key databases which work in roughly the same way.
