This document provides guidance on preparing and structuring a research paper, including:
1. The general structure of a full research paper includes sections like the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references.
2. Key elements that should be addressed in each section are described, such as keeping the title concise but informative, summarizing key findings in the abstract, and clearly explaining methodology.
3. Various tools for evaluating research impact are discussed, including journal indexing in databases like Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar as well as metrics like the h-index, g-index, and i10-index that measure citations and author productivity. Proper formatting of references
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."
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

comparisons across different tools are not advised, as they may use different algorithms and
different citation data to calculate impact.
• Web of Science Choosing "All Databases" allows you to search an index of journal articles,
conference proceedings, data sets, and other resources in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and
humanities.
• Google Scholar Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature.
From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers,
theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint
repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the
most relevant research across the world of scholarly research.--About Google scholar.

accessible web search
engine that indexes the full
text or metadata of
scholarly literature across
an array of publishing
formats and disciplines.
25
GOOGLE SCHOLAR
26. Publish or Perish
• Publish or Perish is downloadable software that uses Google Scholar data to
calculate the following metrics:
• Total number of papers
• Total number of citations
• Average number of citations per paper
• Average number of citations per author
• Average number of papers per author
• Average number of citations per year
• Hirsch's H-Index and related parameters
• Egghe's G-Index
• The contemporary G-Index
• The age-weighted citation rate
• Two variations of individual H-Indices
• An analysis of the number of authors per paper
26
27. Measures of Author Impact
• An author's impact on their field or discipline has traditionally been
measured using the number of times their academic publications are
cited by other researchers.
• H-Index The most widely used research metric, measures both
productivity and impact of an author's scholarly output. Tools for
calculating your H-index include Web of Science and Google Scholar.
• G-Index Proposed in 2006 by Leo Egghe as an alternative to the H-
index, adds more weight to highly cited articles.
• i10-Index A very simple measure of impact, this metric is only used by
Google Scholar.
27
28. H-Index in Web of Science
• (Hirsch ,2005)
• H-Index = number of papers (h) with a citation number
≥ h.
• Example: a scientist with an H-Index of 37 has 37 papers
cited at least 37 times.
• Tools for measuring H-Index:
• Web of Science
• Google Scholar
28
30. • The G-index was proposed by Leo Egghe in his
paper "Theory and Practice of the G-Index" in 2006 as an
improvement on the H-Index.
•
G-Index is calculated this way: "[Given a set of articles]
ranked in decreasing order of the number of citations
that they received, the G-Index is the (unique) largest
number such that the top g articles received (together) at
least g^2 citations.”
30
G-index
31. i10-Index
• Created by Google Scholar and used in Google's My
Citations feature.
• i10-Index = the number of publications with at least
10 citations.
• This very simple measure is only used by Google
Scholar.
31
32. Here is a screenshot of a Google Scholar My
Citations page
32
34. Google Scholar Citations
• Google Scholar Citations is a citation service provided
free of charge. It is easy to set up, especially if you
already have a Google account. Like other citation
tracking services, it tracks academic articles, but it
also counts theses, book titles and other documents
towards author citation metrics.
34
35. CITE SCORE
• Cite Score is the number of citations received by a journal in one year to
documents published in the three previous years, divided by the number of
documents indexed in Scopus published in those same three years.
• Cite Score for 2015 counts the citations received in 2015 to documents
published in 2012, 2013 or 2014, and divides this by the number of
documents published in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
35
36. SJR
• Developed by Felix De moyo
• SCImago Journal Rank (SJR indicator) is a measure of scientific
influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the
number of citations received by a journal and the importance
or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.
SJR calculation
• Average No. of weighted citations received in a year
÷
No. of documents published in previous 3 years
36
39. SCImago Journal and Country Rank
• The SCImago Journal and Country Rank portal is a
free online resource that uses citation data from
Scopus, a scholarly research database, to provide
journal impact data. It also provides rankings by
journal country of origin and numerous visual
representations of journal impact data. The ranking
method is based on the well-known Google
PageRank algorithm
39
40. SCI
• The Science Citation Index (SCI) is a citation
index originally produced by the Institute
for Scientific Information (ISI) and created by Eugene
Garfield.
40
41. • DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals)
• DOAJ is a community-curated online directory that indexes and provides access to
high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals. DOAJ is independent. All
funding is via donations, 40% of which comes from sponsorsand 60%
from members and publisher members. All DOAJ services are free of charge
including being indexed in DOAJ. All data is freely available.
• DOAJ operates an education and outreach program across the globe, focussing on
improving the quality of applications submitted.Peer review journals
• CiteSeerx is an evolving scientific literature digital library and search engine that
has focused primarily on the literature in computer and information science.
41
42. SNIP
• SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per
Paper) Calculation
• journal’s citation count per paper
÷
• citation potential in its subject area
42
A key indicator offered by
CWTS Journal Indicators is the SNIP indicator,
where SNIP stands for source normalized
impact per paper. This indicator measures the
average citation impact of the publications of
a journal.
Developed by Henk Moed
44. • Eigenfactor
• A journal's Eigenfactor score is measured as its importance to the scientific community. Scores are
scaled so that the sum of all journal scores is 100. In 2006, Nature had the highest score of 1.992.
• Intended to reflect the influence and prestige of journals.
• Created to help capture the value of publication output vs. journal quality (i.e. the value of a single
publication in a major journal vs. many publications in minor journals).
• Article Influcence Score
• The mean Article Influence Score is 1.00. An Article Influence Score greater than 1.00 indicates that
the articles in a journal have an above-average influence.
• Measures the average influence, per article, of the papers published in a journal.
• Calculated by dividing the Eigenfactor by the number of articles published in the journal.
•
44
45. Article Influence Scores for a few journals. You
can search the Eigenfactor Website to find the
scores for journals of interest.

46. • The Web of Science features ResearcherID, a service with which you
can create and manage your scholarly profile, generate citation
metrics and connect with other scholars. One problem that
ResearcherID addresses is name ambiguity (for example, there are
many different people named John Smith, so how do you
distinguish the publications that one wrote over the
others?). ResearcherID, in tandem with ORCID, assigns a unique ID
to each author and allows authors to identify papers that they
contributed to. For more information about setting up a
ResearcherID in Web of Science, go to the ResearcherID home page.
• Click on the image below for a short video about integrating your
ResearcherID with your ORCID:

47. • PLoS Article-Level Metrics (ALM)
• PLoS Article Level metrics (ALM) is a service provided
by the Public Library of Science (PLoS) for all authors
of works published in PLoS journals. ALM goes
beyond traditional metrics and considers not just
citation data, but also data regarding usage (such as
views and downloads), mentions in blogs and other
media, as well as metrics related to social media.
