By the numbers: Citation counts, h-indices, and evaluating researchers In-Person
Research impact is a ubiquitous term in academia, and it informs everything from how to write a grant to how someone approaches marketing themselves as an academic to how a faculty member compiles or evaluates a dossier.
In this workshop, we will take a close look at the research impact and scholarly communication environment, defining:
- Why the Impact Factor is not intended to be used for individuals
- The h-index and other metrics based on it
- Nontraditional metrics and altmetrics
- ORCID and other researcher identifiers that make identifying people easier
You will also:
- Learn how to use the Web of Science and Scopus to locate individual, journal, and article-level metrics
- Navigate the WUSTL Becker Model to understand the types of research activity you can quantify regardless of discipline
- Identify the top 5 things a researcher can do to improve their professional discoverability
