KTH context – Aims at KTH
• Strengthen its position as one of Europe’s leading technical universities
• Advance in relevant rankings• Increase citation scores

What is bibliometrics?
Bibliometrics can be defined as the quantitative study of publication collections
Statistics on:• Publications, like journal articles (research output)• Citations (research impact)• Co-publishing (research collaboration)

Impact?
• On society• On industry• On research community
As measured by the use of bibliometrics (citations)
![Page 10: Bibliometrics and Publishing Peter Sjögårde, Bibliometric analyst KTH Royal Institute of Technology, ECE School of Education and Communication in Engineering](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082713/5697bfb91a28abf838c9ffe1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Differences between research fields affecting bibliometric indicators
• Publication pace (time for publishing and peer review process)• Length of publications• Number of references• Coverage of publications in citation database• Document type (e.g. reviews get more citations, proceedings
papers are often excluded)• Size of research field
![Page 11: Bibliometrics and Publishing Peter Sjögårde, Bibliometric analyst KTH Royal Institute of Technology, ECE School of Education and Communication in Engineering](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082713/5697bfb91a28abf838c9ffe1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Field normalized citation rate
For a publication:
Same research field same yearsame document type
Average = 1

Citation indicators > Research Quality
• Correlation between peer review assessments and bibliometric indicators.
• In general, high quality (as judged by peers) is needed to receive high citation scores at aggregated levels.• But not enough
• There are research groups that get good judgments by reviewers but has low citation scores.
1. Research with impact outside the research community (e.g. applied research)
2. Research for which the bibliometric methods are improper.

Bibliometrics at KTH
• Research Assessment Exercise (research groups, UoA)• Funding allocation• Annual Bibliometric Monitoring• Reports and analyzes on demand from management and
schools• Consultancy work for other universities
![Page 15: Bibliometrics and Publishing Peter Sjögårde, Bibliometric analyst KTH Royal Institute of Technology, ECE School of Education and Communication in Engineering](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082713/5697bfb91a28abf838c9ffe1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bibliometric indicator for funding allocation at KTH
Mean field normalized citation rate for journals and serials indexed by Web of Science• Average of the citation rate of the journals in which KTH:s
researchers have published the last three years. • Calculated for each department. Multiplied with the
number of faculty at each department.• Aggregated to Schools and used for allocation to the
Schools.

Bibliometric indicator for funding allocation at KTHExample. Let A be a department. Assume that A has three publications, P1, P2, and P3, published in three different journals. Further assumptions:
Then the mean field normalized journal impact for A, mjcf(A), is equal to
Let the number of faculty for A be 3. Then the value of the bibliometric indicator for funding allocation at KTH is
A author fraction (of publication)
Jcf (of journal for A publication)
[A Author fraction] x Jcf
P1 1 (1/1) 0.8 0.8P2 0.25 (1/4) 1 0.25P3 0.5 (5/10) 2 1Sum 1.75 2.05

Purpose of the bibliometric funding allocation indicator
• Incentives to: • publish in highly cited journals indexed by Web of
Science. • publish few publications of high quality rather than a
high quantity of publications.
