Background

Goal: Replacing the previous ABM (Annual Bibliometric Monitoring / Årlig Bibliometrisk Uppföljning).

  • Project description

  • Overview of old ÅBU

  • Example apps and showing data flows

  • Demo of possible additions

  • Q/A and suggestions

Agenda

  • Feedback to suggestions and comments

  • Progress so far

  • Demo of new ABM app
    \(\rightarrow\) progress towards ÅBU 1.0

  • Future possibilities / examples

  • Discussion

From previous demo

  • Questions on the bibliometric evaluation model was raised.
    \(\rightarrow\) organization based
    Evaluation of KTH-output and higher precision. Will add further FAQ to the ABM to answer common concerns and questions.

  • Incorrect mappings and wrongly assigned publications
    \(\rightarrow\) based on school dialog and checks by researchers

  • Clearer view of incentives and how publications contribute to impact
    \(\rightarrow\) will add sortable list of top-contributing papers and journals

From previous demo, cont’d

  • Data access and exports were requested.
    \(\rightarrow\) We are developing an API (currenlty JSON data) and an R package which bundles “public” data (without requiring database credentials).

  • Data sources were discussed, including possible additions
    \(\rightarrow\) We are testing Scopus data, to add this as complementary indicators (citation counts, Scopus coverage)
    \(\rightarrow\) We also intend to add functionality to the R package, to embed access to relevant open data sources (e.g. Microsoft Academic, Altmetric, Google Scholar etc).

From previous demo, cont’d

Some comments on KTH’s goals and incentives with bibliometrics.

This should be an ongoing discussion within KTH leadership and the schools, with input from bibliometric group.

Demo of ÅBU 1.0

  • We will show some of the work from the last month
  • Sprint 7 - added data, dashboards, API etc
  • We are getting ready to roll out work into production

Future possibilities

A couple of visual examples follow, involving use of open source based tools and visualizations that are web-friendly and responsive and interactive.
