It’s important to remember that the impact factor only looks at an average citation and that a journal may have a few highly cited papers that greatly increase its impact factor, while other papers in that same journal may not be cited at all. Therefore, there is no direct correlation between an individual article’s citation frequency or quality and the journal impact factor.
Bibliometrics literally means "book measurement" but the term is used about all kinds of documents (with journal articles as the dominant kind of document).
What is measured are not the physical properties of documents but statistical patterns in variables such as authorship, sources, subjects, geographical origins, and citations.
Elsevier's Scopus.com upgraded the Journal Analyzer with Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP), which measures a source's contextual impact, and SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), which measures the scientific prestige of scholarly sources.
These indicators will be applied to all journals indexed by Scopus and will be freely available to both subscribers and non-subscribers @ scopus.com and www.journalmetrics.com

Makes the case that we should let metrics do the "heavy lifting" in the UK REF [Research Excellence Framework]. I show that a university-level ranking based on metrics (Microsoft Academic citations for all papers published with the university's affiliation between 2008-2013) correlates at 0.97 with the The REF power rating taken from Research Fortnight’s calculation. Using metrics to distribute research-related funding would free up a staggering amount of time and money and would allow us to come up with more creative and meaningful ways to build in a research quality component in the REF.
The academic impact of research: Current and the future citation trends in de...Nader Ale Ebrahim
Writing an article for online distribution in a way that maximized the chances of citation hits, is different from preparing one for print journals in some small, but important, respects. To be cited, articles have to be visible in an electronic environment. Therefore, publishing a high quality paper in scientific journals will be a halfway of receiving citation in the future. The rest of the way is advertising and disseminating the publications by using the proper “Research Tools”. Familiarity with the tools allows the researcher to increase his/her h-index in the short time.
The number of citations has over 30% share in academic ranking. Hence, most of the scientists are looking for a method to increase their citation record. Nader developed and introduced a method for increasing the visibility and impact of the research which directly effects on the number of citations. This talk tends to introduce some of the key points for improving the citation trends in developing countries by presenting the current situation and the future trends.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Session aims
Why do you need to know this?
Introduction to terminology
Exploring the resources
3. Why do you need to know this?
Scholarly communication: tracing the history and
evolution of ideas from one scholar to another
Can be seen to measure the scholarly influence of
articles; journals; scholars
Used with other factors in UK Research Excellence
Framework (REF) to determine importance of
research and award money to the institution
4. Garfield’s metrics
Eugene Garfield: ‘Father of citation analysis’
developed the first bibliometric index tools
Citation count
Impact factor
Immediacy Index
Citation Half-life
5. Citation count
Number of times cited within a give time period
Author
Journal
Does not take into account materials outside of
citation database so differs depending on source
6. Exercise
Web of Science subject search – sort by ‘Times
cited’
7. Impact factor
Measures ‘impact’ of a journal (not an article) within a
given subject
Formula is a ratio:
Number of citations to a journal in a given year
for articles occurring in previous 2 years.
DIVIDED BY
number of scholarly articles published in the
journal during those 2 years
So 2011 JIF = Citations in 2011 to articles published
2009-10 / articles published 2009-10
8. Exercise
Look at Journal Citation Reports for a journal that
you use
Find via Web of Science /Additional Resources
9. Concerns with impact factor
Can’t be used to compare cross disciplinary due to
different rates of publication & citation
2 year time frame not adequate for non-scientific
disciplines (has been adjusted to 3-5 years)
Coverage of some disciplines not sufficient in the
ISI databases
Reviews will cite more – journals may include more
to boost impact factor
Doesn’t measure individual researcher’s impact
Is a measure of ‘impact’ a measure of quality?
10. Immediacy index - definition
What it’s supposed to measure: how quickly
articles in a given journal have an impact on the
discipline
Formula: the average number of times an article in
a journal in a given year was cited in that same year
11. Citation half-life - definition
What it’s supposed to measure: Long-term
relevance of articles in a given journal
Formula: median age of articles cited for a
particular journal in a given year
12. Hirsch (H) index
What it’s supposed to measure: Productivity of an
individual, group or institution
Formula: H value is equal to the number of papers
(n) that have n or more citations
It will vary depending on the index database journal
coverage
Biased against early-career researchers as won’t
have had time to be so productive – but study by
Hirsch suggests it’s a predictor of future quality
output
13. H index - exercise
Scopus Author Identifier
WoS author finder
14. Altmetrics
Uses web stats to provide more detailed assessment
of online activity – beyond citations
Use of open data
Blog/twitter mentions
http://altmetrics.org/manifesto/
