Background

Goal:

Replace the previous ABM ie Annual Bibliometric Monitoring / Årlig Bibliometrisk Uppföljning at KTH

Our previous demo meeting was held 2019-12-05.

Since then (> 3 months ago) we have worked on Sprints 8 to 11 (current)

Agenda

The 1.0 release is done, three releases have been published so far

  • Progress - What is new since last meeting?

  • A short demo of the ABM app

  • Future directions after 1.0 release

  • Our questions to you

  • Your feedback and your suggestions and comments to us

ABM 1.0

The first step of the project plan was a re-implementation of the old ABM.

  • More attractive and dynamic presentation
  • Same results, based on DiVA and Bibmet
  • New : Share of uncited publications
  • New : Overview for Open Access publications
  • New : Notes to help with interpretation of indicators/results

There is now a public version of the app showing breakdowns for KTH units. It allows researchers to login using their KTH account to view their own data.

Open Access data in ABM

  • Open Access status and category as determined by Unpaywall
    • Status: OA/Not OA. Categories: Gold, Hybrid, Green, Bronze
  • Subset of peer-reviewed publications.
    Criteria: 1) Have a DOI number 2) Be identified by Unpaywall
  • Two graphs for category distribution: overview, evolution in time

Uncited publications

  • In addition to the total and average number of citations, the number and share of uncited publications are included
  • Uncited here means not cited after 3 years (the publication year and the two following years)
  • The other end of “Top 10% cited”

“Notes”: Coverage and sample size

  • The number of publications for the row with least number of publication in each table.

  • A warning text if any row is based on less than 50 publications.

  • Shows the Web of Science coverage for the row with least coverage in each table.

  • Displays poor, moderate or good WoS coverage.

  • For individuals, there is a general word of caution for everybody regardless of size or coverage.

What is planned next for ABM?

Next phase for ABM

Going forward, we have planned to work on these areas:

  • About tab
  • More comprehensive co-publication information
  • Collaboration networks
  • Additional data sources
  • Other apps to complement the ABM

Please think about what would be most interesting to you in the short run?

“About” tab

Currently:

More information needed, such as:

  • Where do these data come from and when was it retrieved?
  • What criteria were used to select which publications to include?
  • More comprehensive description of indicators
  • Outside of the ABM, how is bibliometrics used at KTH?

Beyond the ABM 1.0 app - Capacity building

Recap of activities

Workshops/learning

Other tools being developed

  • Access through API wrappers to new data sources
    • Use case described by Chip related to DiVA data quality improvements -> new R packages with API Wrapper clients
    • Co-publication
  • KTH Styling for R users: ktheme … used for example to make these slides
