Introduction to Scopus | 8 |

What is Scopus ?

Scopus is the largest and citation database of peer-reviewed research literature from around the world. Delivering a comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities. Scopus features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research.

Over 22,800 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers and 105 different countries

Over 70 million records, 24 million from 5 offices worldwide

All content is vigorously vetted by an independent, international board of experts called the Content Selection and Advisory Board (CSAB)

More than 4,000 customers worldwide in all geographic regions | 9 |

QS and THE are not alone: More than 3500 organizations, including more than 150 research organizations, rely on Scopus data UK REF Kiel Russian Foundation UK BIS University Queen’s of Basic Research Ural Federal University University Michigan Corporate Belfast STINT Relations Network MD Anderson Danish BFI Germany IFQ European Commission & ERC FCT Portugal NSF ISTIC Italy ANVUR Gazi University ReachNC TCI - IISER NRF-Korea Thailand

Find out what already exists in the global world of research output

Determine how to differentiate research topics and find new ideas

Decide what, where and with whom to partner or collaborate with

Track impact of research; monitor global research

Peer-reviewed research literature | 15 | A researcher reads > 300 articles per year ….of which, 3.5 hours is spent Researchers spend an average searching for research articles and 10 hours per week searching 5.5 hours reading. for and reading articles • Researchers in Chemistry and Life Science spend longer than average searching for articles 3.7 Hrs spent and chemists spend longer SEARCHING for reading • Younger researchers spend > articles per week 4hrs a week searching. • Researchers from China spend longer searching (six hours) and reading (nine hours) articles than any other country. 5.6 Hrs spent n=4,225 READING articles per week

• A researcher typically reads six articles per week. • Chemists read nine per week. Mathematicians read four articles per week. 6 articles read • China-based researchers read one more than per week average per week (7 articles). • After searching and reading for 10 hrs per week only 42% of the papers read are considered 42% regarded as important. ‘important’ | 16 |

Here we do an affiliation search for “Thailand” | 24 | Affiliation Search Results

The results shows all affiliation profiles which includes “Thailand” in either the name or country field. | 25 | Affiliation details

• Affiliation profiles are profiles which group papers published at relevant institutions. • The Quality of the profiles is Excellent, yet institutions are welcome to provide feedback to Elsevier. | 26 |

What is the Challenge? Scholarly Name Ambiguity

Many researchers that too closely Researchers publish resemble one another. under name variations.

What is the solution? ORCID!

ORCID, the Original Researcher Contributor ID, provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.

Because some subject areas are cited more often than others, we should not compare papers from different fields without applying normalization. | 49 | Publications types receive differing levels of citations

SNIP: Source-normalized impact per paper

All 20K journals have a Source-normalized impact per paper (SNIP) measuring contextual by weighting citations per subject field

• Peer-reviewed papers only • Three year citation window • Field’s frequency and immediacy of citation Impact per • Database coverage + + + Publication (IPP) • Journal’s scope and focus • Measured relative to database Citation potential median in its subject field

Journal IPP Cit. Pot. SNIP (RIP/Cit. Pot.) Inventiones Mathematicae 1.5 0.4 3.8 Molecular 13.0 3.2 4.0 | 56 | SJR: SCImago Journal Rank

All 20K journals have a SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are equal • SJR is a variant of the eigenvector centrality measure used in network theory and is inspired by the PageRank algorithm used in Google.

• Prestige transferred when a journal cites • Citations are weighted depending on where they come from • journal’s prestige is shared equally between its citations

Life Sciences Arts & Humanities journal journal

High impact, lots of citations Low impact, few on citations One citation = low value One citation = high value SJR normalizes for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields | 57 |
