The other for a manuscript published in a low impact factor journal 5-year IF of 2. Which of these two papers have had:. Like Like. Hi Carole, you can extract it from the infographic in the post or read the background materials cited. And those researchers are in the top 0. This is over a 10 year period. And you need about six of those during a given decade to be in the top 0. Top 0. Interesting post and knowledge. Now I feel proud that couple of my papers went beyond 55 citations.
Nice article Luc. A minor observation is that those highly cited papers tend to be slanted towards biological sciences, which also tend to have a fairly high number of publications. Putting individual statistics aside, I wonder if citations is loosely correlated to the number of sub-disciplines. I whole heartedly agree that, for younger researchers, quantity is important, without forsaking quality.
And things like blog-posts, comments, etc all count! Later in ones academic career one can be more picky about where to publish. My experience is that shooting for number only is not the way to go. I am not saying that number of publication is not important since both for promotion and the purpose of obtaining grants, you do need a certain number of them.
However, if your publications are not cited, you can have many hundreds it does not matter: you are having no impact on your field. In grants committees, my experience is that after a few publications per year, it does not matter so much if you have 18, 22 or 25 in the last 5 years. I would also say that you have to pick carefully where you published.
It also depends I guess if you need to show social impact, academic impact, clinical impact …. Very interesting post.
Knowing how to read a citation in a reference list or bibliography will help you identify different types of sources that an author used in their research. You can use a reference list from another researcher to find related sources on your topic, or to find counterpoints to your research. You will use citations to find articles.
To find an article, you need to know: the title of the article the title of the journal it's published in. The presence of two titles article and journal are the biggest clue that this is an article. Volume Number and Issue Number are also big clues as books will not have those pieces in a citation.
You will use citations to find books. To find a book, you need to know: the title of the book the author. To find and verify a website, you need to know the URL.
Since websites change frequently, knowing the date accessed is similar to knowing a publication date. The date accessed and the presence of a URL are the biggest clues that you are looking at a citation for a website. Different disciplines cite in different ways which means that there are many different citation styles. Citation Guides at the University Libraries. Note how the same information is available, just in a different order.
At time of writing, Scopus is working to add more books to its index, which ought to help in less scientific fields ad QS continue to seek alternative measures to evaluate outputs from lower citing disciplines. For the calculation of this indicator, QS gathers two distinct datasets: Citations count for six years for papers published over a five-year period There are three major sources of publication and citation data worldwide, these are the Web of Science from Thomson Reuters; Scopus from Elsevier and Google Scholar.
In , two significant additional modifications were applied: Papers featuring authors from more than ten affiliated institutions have been excluded — this represents around 0. Whilst often high-profile and important research, these papers often cause a distortion for a university that may not be especially research active otherwise.
Faculty Area Normalization — due to publishing patterns and practices, a straight ratio of citations per faculty places a strong emphasis on life sciences and medicine. In consultation with advisors and participants, QS has opted to adopt a model which aims to equalize the influence of research in our five key faculty areas.
A more detailed technical explanation of how this works can be found here. Full Time Equivalent FTE faculty Faculty numbers used are totals… whilst it would be ideal to separate the notions of teaching and research and use the former for calculating the Student Faculty Ratio and the latter for this indicator, it has not been possible to do so as data to that degree of distinction has so far proved unavailable for many countries in the study.
