DEMONSTRATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A PUBLISHING STRATEGY

USE METRICS TO SHOW THE IMPACT OF YOUR DECISIONS

COMPARE PUBLICATIONS, AUTHORS, ARTICLES ON A WIDE-RANGE OF INDICATORS AND CRITERIA

USE A WIDE RANGE OF INDICATORS TO HELP UNDERSTANDING

ANALYSE COMPETITORS AND PEERS, FIND STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING

INDICTORS MUST BE PUT INTO CONTEXT TO BE USEFUL: CATEGORY, JOURNAL, PEERS, GLOBAL

‣ NORMALIZED INDICATORS — for relative performance comparisons ‣ PERCENTILES — where does it fall in the range of values? ‣ BENCHMARKS — how does it compare with a group or globally?

NORMALIZED INDICATORS performance against the set of documents normalized for subject/journal, publication year, and document type

These can be used for performance comparisons

Normalized indicators are based on averages and can be skewed by a single or small numbers of highly cited documents: use larger document sets and appropriate thresholds and filters. Caution should be applied to analyses of recent years as they may have low document and citation baselines

CITATION DISTRIBUTIONS are often skewed by a small number of highly cited articles with a long tail of articles with relatively few citations
