- Scopus App launched – Science | Connect
- Article by Rafael: “Offering their content through open APIs, publishers and platform providers can present researchers with application building tools based on more comprehensive content. In fact, publishers and platform providers have an opportunity to serve as the host of the new scientific knowledge ecosystem that is evolving.”
- From article about SNIP – “Across a subject field as broad as scholarly communication, assessing journal impact by citations to a journal in a two-year time frame is obviously going to favor those subjects that cite heavily, and rapidly. Some fields, particularly those in the life sciences, tend to conform to this citation pattern better than others, leading to some widely recognized distortions.”
- From article: “Prestige measured by quantity of citations is one thing, but when it is based on the quality of those citations, you get a better sense of the real value of research to a community. Research Trends talks to Prof. Félix de Moya about SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), which ranks journals based on where their citations originate.”
- From article :Bibliometric indicators are not without their own controversies (1, 2) and recently there has been an explosion of new metrics, accompanying a shift in the mindset of the scientific community towards a multidimensional view of journal evaluation.”
- Elsevier’s Scopus Partners with CWTS and SCImago to Offer Multidimensional Evaluation of Research JournalsFrom press release: “Elsevier… announced that its flagship product Scopus has successfully partnered with the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) and the SCImago Research Group, endorsing two complementary journal metrics, SNIP and SJR. The metrics will be freely available online at www.journalmetrics.com, and integrated into Scopus, allowing researchers around the world to analyze journals within the abstract and citation database. The indicators will offer a greater currency and flexibility in journal performance measurement than any single-metric method currently available.”
- Download SNIP and SJR values for Scopus journals.
- “How do SJR and SNIP compare to the Impact Factor? They offer new perspectives in Journal Evaluation that look at the context in which a journal is performing and normalize for citation behaviour. Find more information at www.journalmetrics.com”
- Video
- “This short video explains how SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) and Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) are calculated. SJR and SNIP are considering in which context in which a Journal is performing looking at differences in research areas with different citation behaviours. “
- Looks like an interesting introductory course to the various concepts of scientific publishing and Science 2.0. (found because it linked to my Identity 2.0 post)
- SJR & SNIP jounral metrics introduced to Scopus. APIs for Author Profiles. Improved Cited-By Count integration. Some interface tweaks.
- From the Press Release: “Amsterdam, 2 December 2009 – Elsevier… today announced that Scopus, the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality Web sources, will be added to Research4Life… the collective name given to HINARI, AGORA and OARE, the three public-private partnerships that offer health, agriculture and environmental research for free or at very low cost to developing countries.”
The videos of the Belgrade lectures are now loaded on the University of Belgrade Library’s YouTube channel.
The second day’s presentation was the more interesting topic and a better presentation overall, so I am going to highlight it first. A written overview of the highlights, key diagrams, and slides is here and the playlist for the second lecture is embedded below:
The first day’s presentation was titled From Academic Library 2.0 to (Literature) Research 2.0. A written overview of the highlights, key diagrams, and slides is located here and the playlist is embedded below:
I look forward to any feedback you might have on either presentation.
- Scholarly Perspectives – Webinars“We invite you to register for a special series of 65-minute webinars featuring three speakers: a library expert, a senior faculty member and an Elsevier product specialist. Speakers will share their views and insights on the evolving role of peer-reviewed journals and books and how the electronic platforms on which these vital resources are hosted, are also leveraging novel information discovery and retrieval techniques to enhance the research and teaching processes.”
- YouTube video – “Scopus offers a freely accessible author search for everyone who has no access to Scopus. This preview search allows anyone to look up a specific author and check their profile for numbers of documents published, numbers of references, received citations and the h-index and more.
This demo also shows you how to provide feedback if you think something is not accurate. Feel free to recommend the URL: www.scopus.com/authoridentifier for free author searching.” - Innovation Management site from the Faculty of Organizational Sciences Department of Operations Management at the University of Belgrade
- Poster Gallery for the Institute of Technical Sciences of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. One of the ways that their librarian is highlighting the work of Institute researchers.
- “Serbian Web Journalism School was founded by Ljubisa Bojic at Serbian Journalist Association. The project was inspired by David Sasaki, outreach director of Global Voices Online, Rebecca MacKinnon, professor of new media at University of Kong Kong, Nino Brajovic, president of Journalist Association of Serbia and Gradimir joksimovic, editor of Viva magazine.”
