Demonstrating your Research Impact using Bibliometric and Altmetric Tools • Researchers are often asked to demonstrate, to their institutions, funders and general public (taxpayers), the impact of their research activities. Bibliometrics and altmetrics are two quantitative approaches to measuring impact of research outputs. • Robert Merton’s 1960s work on the normative theory of science gave basis to the use of citations to measure impact of research. If scientific knowledge is developed incrementally then a citation to a previous work would demonstrate its impact on subsequent research (“standing on the shoulders of giants”). Publishing for impact Measures used to evaluate the impact of scholarly journals include: Journal Impact Factor (Web of Science data) Google Scholar Metrics Eigenfactor score (WoS data) Article Influence Score (WoS data) SJR: SCImago Journal Rank (Scopus data) SNIP: Source Normalized Impact per Paper (Scopus data) Measuring impact with citations • Advent of electronic databases allowed us to better understand influence, through citation count, within the system of science. • Both commercial and open source providers developed new services. For instance, publication and citation data from Web of Science (WoS) and SCOPUS powers many of these tools (SciVal and InCites). Web crawlers are used to compile data for others (Google Scholar, Publish or Perish or Microsoft Academic Search or Scholarometer). Measuring impact with Altmetrics • Researchers and scholars have embraced the online social space as a way to share findings, interpret data, collaborate, and distribute research. Altmetrics is an attempt to measure the impact of research in this social space. • In addition to citation counts, these metrics capture other forms of acknowledgement – usage (e.g. downloads), captures (bookmarks, saves), mentions (news articles, comments), and social media (tweets, shares, likes). • Plum Analytics is pioneering the use of altmetrics to measure impact of researchers and research groups. Pitt was the first institution to adopt Plum Analytics. • Research Gate, Impact Story, Altmetric.com, and academia.edu are other developments in this field. Next steps Which tool should I use to demonstrate the impact of my research? What are the limitations of these tools? How should I interpret the data/metrics they provide? How can I use these on my tenure or grant application? The ULS has services that assist researchers with managing their research personas, identifying sources of citation and interpreting metrics.
