h index: Benchmark of productivity and impact of researcher AJAY SEMALTY
In the Indices of research series h index is discussed here. The h-index (sometimes called the Hirsch index or Hirsch number) is one of the several research indices which is used to measure the productivity and impact of of a researcher/ research group/ institution. It’s an index which increases on the basis of citations and number of papers continuously with the passage of time. It is the major benchmark used by the employers for selection/recruitment and/ or assessment of Researchers. This e-module will let you know all about the h index: What, How, Who, why......about h index will be answered here.

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."
This ppt will provide the support to finding the indexing of publication and also will help to manage your research profile among world research forums.
Reputation and bibliometric approaches to identifying the most influential journals to which a scholar should submit his or her research for maximum impact and influence.
The presentation deals with variety of tips concerning indexing and citations metrics. These tips will serve as a guideline for researchers for pursuing further research. The main purpose of the presentation is to provide a brief introduction about the indexing metrics. Moreover, it will address the importance of citations, h-index, and how to calculate the h-index for a particular scholar. Furthermore, it will briefly describe how to find an appropriate indexed journal for a specific research article. Eventually, it will concisely demonstrate how to promote a particular research paper across different channels of social media.
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

14. H-index
• to measure both the productivity and impact of the published
work of a scientist or scholar.
• The index is based on the set of the scientist's most cited papers
and the number of citations that they have received in other
people's publications.
• The index can also be applied to the productivity and impact of a
group of scientists, such as a department or university or country.
• The index was suggested by Jorge E. Hirsch, a physicist at UCSD, as
a tool for determining theoretical physicists' relative quality[1] is
sometimes called the Hirsch index or Hirsch number.
15. H-index is available in WOS &
SCOPUS
• Example, Prof Norsarahaida Amin
• List the author abbrevations:
– Amin, N
– Amin, Norsarahaida
– Amin, Norsarahaida S
23. H-Index : WOS vs SCOPUS
• Example :Prof Norsarahaida Amin
H-index WOS : 11 || Citation WOS : 372
H-index SCOPUS : 12 || Citation SCOPUS : 455
• Q: Usually, h-index / citation in SCOPUS will be
slightly higher or higher than h-index in WOS, why?
A: Both databases covers different regions (WOS
more to US , SCOPUS more to European & Asian )
24. What is citation?
• citation is a reference to a published or
unpublished source
• The usage :
to attribute prior or unoriginal work and ideas to
the correct sources
to allow the reader to determine independently
whether the referenced material supports the
author's argument in the claimed way
(wikipedia)
25. Citation Calculation
• Differs between WOS, SCOPUS & Google Scholars
• WOS provides more details calculation
• Publish or Perish (PoP) Software helps to calculate
citation of Google Scholars
• Usually, citation counts in SCOPUS is higher than
WOS
• Sometimes, Google Scholars citation counts is
higher than both prominent citation databases
• Nevertheless, WOS is the citation pioneer & their
data is trustworthy

search by:
• Document Search
– Article Title, Abstracts , Keywords
– Source Title ( journal / conf. titles)
– Authors
• Authors Search
• Affiliation Search (by authors institution)
• Advanced Search (with OPERATORS &
specialized codes)
42. Define Impact Factor
• A citation metric
• the impact factor of a journal is the average
number of citations received per paper
published in that journal
• The journal must be published in 2
consecutive years, so the IF can be calculated
in the 3rd year
43. Example of IF calculation
• In 2008, a journal has an impact factor of 3.0
• it means papers published in 2006 and 2007
received 3 citations each on average.
Calculation:
2008 impact factor = A/B
44. 2008 impact factor = A/B
A = the number of times articles published in
2006 and 2007 were cited by indexed journals
during 2008
B = the total number of "citable items"
published by that journal in 2006 and 2007.
("Citable items" are usually articles, reviews,
proceedings, or notes; not editorials or
Letters-to-the-Editor.)
45. Reminder!
• 2008 impact factors are actually published in
2009
• it cannot be calculated until all of the 2008
publications have been processed by the
indexing agency
50. Related to IF : Immediacy Index
• immediacy index is a measurement of the
skewness of the curve
• Its calculate of how quickly items in that
journal get cited upon publication
51. Related to IF : Cited-half life
• is a measure of the rate of decline of the
citation curve
• Its calculate of how long articles in a journal
continue to be cited after publication
52. Related to IF : Citing-half life
• the median age of articles cited by the journal
in the JCR year.
• For example, in JCR 2003, the journal Food
Biotechnology has a citing half-life of 9.0. That
means that 50% of all articles cited by articles
in Food Biotechnology in 2003 were published
between 1995 and 2003 (inclusive).
53. Related to IF : Citing-half life
• Only journals that publish 100 or more cited
references have a citing half-life
• Cited-only journals do not have a citing half-
life
54. SUMMARY OF CITATION MEASUREMENT
• the journal impact factor, the ratio of the number of citations to
the previous 2 years of the journal divided by the number of
articles in those years — this is essentially the average number of
recent citations per article
• the journal immediacy index, the number of citations that year to
articles published the same year
• the journal citing half life, the median age of the articles that were
cited by the articles published in the journal that year
• the journal cited half life, the median age of the articles in the
journal that were cited by other journals during the year
55. Another citation metric :
Eigenfactor
• a measure of journal influence
• Unlike traditional metrics [Impact Factor] the
Eigenfactor method weights journal citations by the
influence of the citing journals.
• As a result, a journal is influential if it is cited by other
influential journals.
56. Other definition of Eigenfactor Score
• The Eigenfactor Score calculation is based on the number of
times articles from the journal published in the past five years
have been cited in the JCR year
• It also considers which journals have contributed these
citations so that highly cited journals will influence the
network more than lesser cited journals.
• References from one article in a journal to another article
from the same journal are removed, so that Eigenfactor
Scores are not influenced by journal self-citation
57. Related to Eigenscore :
Article Influence Score
determines the average influence of a
journal's articles over the first five years
after publication.
calculated by dividing a journal’s
Eigenfactor Score by the number of
articles in the journal, normalized as a
fraction of all articles in all publications.
58. The mean of Article Influence Score is 1.00
• A score greater than 1.00 indicates that
each article in the journal has above-
average influence.
•A score less than 1.00 indicates that each
article in the journal has below-average
influence.
59. Journal Citation Report (JCR)
• An annual publication by the Healthcare &
Science division of Thomson Reuters
• It has been integrated with the Web of
Knowledge, by Thomson Reuters
• Can be accessed from the Web of Science to
JCR Web

63. About H-index : the formula
‘ A scientist has index h if h of [his/her] Np papers have at
least h citations each, and the other (Np − h) papers
have at most h citations each’
Example, Prof Norsarahaida Amin has h-index of 12, total
pub of 49 articles
from 49 articles she published in SCOPUS, at least 12 of
the articles is cited 12 times
64. Other citation analysis tool :
Harzing Publish or Perish
The founder : Prof
Anne-Will Harzing
71. How to search for subject not
cover in Web of Science ?
Example : Thermofluids
• Step 1 : identify terms and keywords,
synonyms and related terms for the said topic
• Step 2: Use WOS to search for related
journals
88. Note
Q1 : Does Proceeding has impact factor?
A1 : Usually, NO, example,
“AMS2010: Asia Modelling Symposium 2010 - 4th
International Conference on Mathematical
Modelling and Computer Simulation” no impact
factor
Q2: Journal title exist, but no impact factor ?
A2: The journal is not publish in 3 consecutive years
89. Other Info
• ISI publishes Science Watch, a newsletter
which identifies every two months one paper
published in the previous two years as a Fast
breaking paper in each of 22 broad fields of
science, such as Mathematics (including
Statistics), Engineering, Biology, Chemistry,
and Physics
