Researcher ID/Publons – 2019 Instructions
Researcher ID/Publons – 2019 Instructions ResearcherID is has now been integrated into the Publons platform: https://publons.com/account/login/. Publons is similar to researcher ID and is a platform which records, verifies, and showcases peer review contributions of researchers. Publons information integrates with Web of Science or records imported from ORCID, EndNote or manual uploads and allows you to track citations to your research outputs that are indexed in Web of Science. Please note that publications that have been manually entered into your Publons from journals outside of Web of Science will not track your citation metrics. Your Account Existing Account If you already have an account for ResearcherID, or Web of Science, you can login at https://publons.com/account/login/ using the same username and password. The publications you previously added into ResearcherID have automatically be added into your Publons account. Create a New Account If you do not already have a ResearcherID, create a Publons account here: https://publons.com/account/register/. You will receive a ResearcherID overnight from Publons that you will be able to use to attach to your publications in Web of Science. Adding Publications Once logged into your account you can load your publications by importing them from Web of Science, ORCID account, EndNote Library or manually using identifiers such as DOI numbers. (Note that citation metrics won't be tracked for records that do not appear in Web of Science). Loading Web of Science publications Select “Publications” under My Records then select “Import Publications” Publons will automatically search Web of Science when you select “Import Publications” for publications that match the email addresses and publishing names you listed in your profile. -
Exploratory Analysis of Publons Metrics and Their Relationship with Bibliometric and Altmetric Impact
Exploratory analysis of Publons metrics and their relationship with bibliometric and altmetric impact José Luis Ortega Institute for Advanced Social Studies (IESA-CSIC), Córdoba, Spain, [email protected] Abstract Purpose: This study aims to analyse the metrics provided by Publons about the scoring of publications and their relationship with impact measurements (bibliometric and altmetric indicators). Design/methodology/approach: In January 2018, 45,819 research articles were extracted from Publons, including all their metrics (scores, number of pre and post reviews, reviewers, etc.). Using the DOI identifier, other metrics from altmetric providers were gathered to compare the scores of those publications in Publons with their bibliometric and altmetric impact in PlumX, Altmetric.com and Crossref Event Data (CED). Findings: The results show that (1) there are important biases in the coverage of Publons according to disciplines and publishers; (2) metrics from Publons present several problems as research evaluation indicators; and (3) correlations between bibliometric and altmetric counts and the Publons metrics are very weak (r<.2) and not significant. Originality/value: This is the first study about the Publons metrics at article level and their relationship with other quantitative measures such as bibliometric and altmetric indicators. Keywords: Publons, Altmetrics, Bibliometrics, Peer-review 1. Introduction Traditionally, peer-review has been the most appropriate way to validate scientific advances. Since the first beginning of the scientific revolution, scientific theories and discoveries were discussed and agreed by the research community, as a way to confirm and accept new knowledge. This validation process has arrived until our days as a suitable tool for accepting the most relevant manuscripts to academic journals, allocating research funds or selecting and promoting scientific staff. -
Delta-Notch Signaling: the Long and the Short of a Neuron’S Influence on Progenitor Fates
Journal of Developmental Biology Review Delta-Notch Signaling: The Long and the Short of a Neuron’s Influence on Progenitor Fates Rachel Moore 1,* and Paula Alexandre 2,* 1 Centre for Developmental Neurobiology, King’s College London, London SE1 1UL, UK 2 Developmental Biology and Cancer, University College London Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, London WC1N 1EH, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.M.); [email protected] (P.A.) Received: 18 February 2020; Accepted: 24 March 2020; Published: 26 March 2020 Abstract: Maintenance of the neural progenitor pool during embryonic development is essential to promote growth of the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is initially formed by tightly compacted proliferative neuroepithelial cells that later acquire radial glial characteristics and continue to divide at the ventricular (apical) and pial (basal) surface of the neuroepithelium to generate neurons. While neural progenitors such as neuroepithelial cells and apical radial glia form strong connections with their neighbours at the apical and basal surfaces of the neuroepithelium, neurons usually form the mantle layer at the basal surface. This review will discuss the existing evidence that supports a role for neurons, from early stages of differentiation, in promoting progenitor cell fates in the vertebrates CNS, maintaining tissue homeostasis and regulating spatiotemporal patterning of neuronal differentiation through Delta-Notch signalling. Keywords: neuron; neurogenesis; neuronal apical detachment; asymmetric division; notch; delta; long and short range lateral inhibition 1. Introduction During the development of the central nervous system (CNS), neurons derive from neural progenitors and the Delta-Notch signaling pathway plays a major role in these cell fate decisions [1–4]. -

The Journal Coverage of Web of Science and Scopus: a Comparative Analysis Philippe Mongeon and Adèle Paul-Hus [email protected]; [email protected] Université de Montréal, École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l'information, C.P. 6128, Succ. Centre-Ville, H3C 3J7 Montréal, Qc, Canada Abstract Bibliometric methods are used in multiple fields for a variety of purposes, namely for research evaluation. Most bibliometric analyses have in common their data sources: Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier’s Scopus. This research compares the journal coverage of both databases in terms of fields, countries and languages, using Ulrich’s extensive periodical directory as a base for comparison. Results indicate that the use of either WoS or Scopus for research evaluation may introduce biases that favor Natural Sciences and Engineering as well as Biomedical Research to the detriment of Social Sciences and Arts and Humanities. Similarly, English-language journals are overrepresented to the detriment of other languages. While both databases share these biases, their coverage differs substantially. As a consequence, the results of bibliometric analyses may vary depending on the database used. Keywords Bibliometrics, citations indexes, Scopus, Web of Science, research evaluation Introduction Bibliometric and scientometric methods have multiple and varied application realms, that goes from information science, sociology and history of science to research evaluation and scientific policy (Gingras, 2014). Large scale bibliometric research was made possible by the creation and development of the Science Citation Index (SCI) in 1963, which is now part of Web of Science (WoS) alongside two other indexes: the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) (Wouters, 2006). -

Abstract: Recently significant initiatives have been launched for the dissemination of Open Access as part of the Open Science movement. Nevertheless, two other major pillars of Open Science such as Open Research Data (ORD) and Open Peer Review (OPR) are still in an early stage of development among the communities of researchers and stakeholders. The present study sought to unveil the perceptions of a medical and health sciences community about these issues. Through the investigation of researchers‘ attitudes, valuable conclusions can be drawn, especially in the field of medicine and health sciences, where an explosive growth of scientific publishing exists. A quantitative survey was conducted based on a structured questionnaire, with 179 valid responses. The participants in the survey agreed with the Open Peer Review principles. However, they ignored basic terms like FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and appeared incentivized to permit the exploitation of their data. Regarding Open Peer Review (OPR), participants expressed their agreement, implying their support for a trustworthy evaluation system. Conclusively, researchers Citation: Delikoura, E.; Kouis, D. need to receive proper training for both Open Research Data principles and Open Peer Review Open Research Data and Open Peer processes which combined with a reformed evaluation system will enable them to take full advantage Review: Perceptions of a Medical and of the opportunities that arise from the new scholarly publishing and communication landscape. -
Instruction for Work in Publons
Instruction for Work in Publons Publons is the service allowing researchers to monitor, test and demonstrate their editorial and expert activities in the capacity of editors and reviewers of scientific journals. The profile of Publons is integrated with ResearcherID (RID). It is closely integrated with ORCID and it can be of interest not only for editors and reviewers, but also authors as it contains different analytical tools as well as free reviewer courses. That is how the profile of a scientist looks like in Publons. The page of the profile contains data reflecting the scientist status in Publons. Publons, EndNote and Web of Science (WoS) use a unified system of authorization. Therefore, it is better to use the already existing account which is now single for all resources of the Company Clarivate Analytics. Most likely, you already have the Publons profile, if you have started and worked with RID profile. Simply go to the search page of Publons and enter your name or RID. If you located yourself, simply type your account data from RID on the login page. In case of necessity, you can use the service of password restoration. If you have accounts of EndNote and WoS, you can try to login using them. It is not hard to register the new account. When you login in Publons for the first time, this resource will ask you to fill some information and search your publications in WoS. All this can be done immediately or later. The scientist profile in Publons allows one to enter various kinds of information. -
Web of Science (Wos) and Scopus: the Titans of Bibliographic Information in Today's Academic World
publications Review Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus: The Titans of Bibliographic Information in Today’s Academic World Raminta Pranckute˙ Scientific Information Department, Library, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Sauletekio˙ Ave. 14, LT-10223 Vilnius, Lithuania; [email protected] Abstract: Nowadays, the importance of bibliographic databases (DBs) has increased enormously, as they are the main providers of publication metadata and bibliometric indicators universally used both for research assessment practices and for performing daily tasks. Because the reliability of these tasks firstly depends on the data source, all users of the DBs should be able to choose the most suitable one. Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus are the two main bibliographic DBs. The comprehensive evaluation of the DBs’ coverage is practically impossible without extensive bibliometric analyses or literature reviews, but most DBs users do not have bibliometric competence and/or are not willing to invest additional time for such evaluations. Apart from that, the convenience of the DB’s interface, performance, provided impact indicators and additional tools may also influence the users’ choice. The main goal of this work is to provide all of the potential users with an all-inclusive description of the two main bibliographic DBs by gathering the findings that are presented in the most recent literature and information provided by the owners of the DBs at one place. This overview should aid all stakeholders employing publication and citation data in selecting the most suitable DB.
