• In Royal Society research, there is
significant growth in research from
emerging markets, including China
(505%), India (98%), Turkey (366%)
and Brazil (159%).
• In contrast, countries in North America
and Western Europe, which
traditionally have a large scientific
output, have lower growth rates.

Scopus also adds more intelligence from mining additional data.
Mendeley readership
Statistics shows how
many times
Mendeley users have
downloaded a
specific article to their
libraries.
Scopus assists with
forwards and
backwards citation
research by identifying
not only an article’s
cited references but
also its citing
references.
Mendeley is a free reference
manager and academic social
network that can help you
organize your research,
collaborate with others online,
and discover the latest research.
Now indexing citation data back to 1970!
ORCID, unique ID for researchers
ORCID aims to solve the name
ambiguity problem in research and
scholarly communications by
creating a central registry of
unique identifiers for individual
researchers.

Scopus Analytics
SJR (SCImago Journal Rank)
34
Developed by Felix de Moya (Spain).SJR is a prestigue metric and weights citations according to the status of the citing journal. It is based on the idea that all citations are not created equal. With SJR the subject field, quality and reputation of the journal has a direct effect on the value of the citation.
• A source transfers its own 'prestige', or status, to another source through the act of citing it.
• A citation from a source with a relatively high SJR is worth more than a citation from a source with a lower SJR.
• 1=average value for this field, <1 below average for this field, <1 above average for its field

Scopus Analytics
IPP (Impact per Paper)
The IPP metric is
using a citation
window of three
years which is
considered to be
the optimal time
period to
accurately
measure citations
in most subject
fields
TITLE OF PRESENTATION| 36

Scopus Analytics
SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper)
Developed by Henk Moed at CWS, Univ of Leiden (NL). SNIP is weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.
The impact of a single citation is given a higher value in subject areas where citations are less likely, and vice versa.
E.g. high citation behaviour in Life Sciences, now citation behaviour in Social Sciences

TITLE OF PRESENTATION| 37

Scopus Analytics
The number of times a source has been cited in a year.
If a total of 50 articles has been published in the source over the last 5 years and 10 of those articles have been cited once in the current year, then the total number of citations for the year would be 10.

ORCID: Author Profile 2.0since October 2012
• Open
• Researcher &
• Contributor
• ID
ORCID is an open, non-profit, community-
driven effort to create and maintain a registry
of unique researcher identifiers and a
transparent method of linking research
activities and outputs to these identifiers.
ORCID is unique in its ability to reach across
disciplines, research sectors and national
boundaries. It is a hub that connects
researchers and research through the
embedding of ORCID identifiers in key
workflows, such as research profile
maintenance, manuscript submissions, grant
applications, and patent applications.

Journal Analyzer: what is it?
• Journal Analyzer gives users a comparative overview of the journal landscape, showing how titles in a given field are performing relative to each other
• The objective data is presented in an easy, comprehensive graphical format comparing citations of max. 10 journals from over 22,000 peer reviewed journals from today all the way back to 1970.

Integration of article level metrics into Scopus
Launching on 29 July, Scopus’ Article
Metrics module provides a concise
overview of a selection of key citation
impact and community engagement
metrics (altmetrics). Accessible from
the sidebar on document details pages,
the module allows users to rapidly
evaluate specific research articles

Putting the article front and center
Engagement Metrics
Scholarly Activity –Downloads and
posts in common research tools such
as Mendeley and CiteULike.
Scholarly Commentary – Reviews,
articles and blogs by experts and
scholars, such as F1000 Prime,
research blogs, and Wikipedia.
Mass Media – Coverage of research
output in the Mass Media
Social Activity – Mentions
characterized by rapid, brief
engagement on platforms used by
the general population, such as
Twitter, Facebook and Google+.
