Evaluation of research and publications in universities and research departments is an important part of today's university world: the evaluation is carried out by university administration, single researchers and external evaluators among others.
Countries, universities, research groups, scientific fields, connections between researchers, journals, citation practices
By qualitative (JUFO, expert assessment) and quantitative methods (measuring citations, various indicators like impact factor and h-index, ranking lists, bibliographies)
The volume and quality of research is a basis for allocating basic funding for universities in Finland but also a researcher might need different metrics when applying for a job or a grant.
Bibliometrics is the scientific field concerned with measuring scholarly publications, authors and citations by quantitative methods. Bibliometric analysis focuses on the amount of publications and evaluates their academic value by the number of citations they have received.
Research evaluation shapes and directs research and the entire research community should take responsibility for the principles and practices of researcher evaluation. Various indicators and metrics have a place and a value, but they also can be narrow and limited measures and should not be used in isolation.
Altmetrics is a branch of bibliometrics that measures the impact of a publication by tracking its visibility in social media and other online services and networks. In Scopus, for example, altmetric data includes the publication's readership counts in Mendeley. You can track the online visibility of articles in different services:
You can use the e-resources that your university subscribes to within the university network and via remote access.
Remote use: Students and staff can access the e-resources remotely by logging in with their own username, provided by the university.
