WHAT FUNDING DATA:
- Full name of the funding body, acronym
and grant number captured from the
acknowledgments section of the article.
- Making use of the FundRef ontology
- Forward flow only, started in July 2013
In Scopus funding data can be searched using the following fields in Advanced Search:
FUND-SPONSOR | FUND-ACR | FUND-NO
For example, the advanced search term “FUND-SPONSOR(National Science Foundation)” will result in all articles that
mention the National Science Foundation as the funding body in the acknowledgements.
FUNDREF ONTOLOGY:
- Only funding bodies included in the
FundRef ontology are captured
- Around 5,000 funding bodies
originally included in FundRef
- When processing content for Scopus
new funding body terms are identified
as candidate terms
- As of January 2014 around 1,000
new candidate terms will be added to
FundRef each month

Search Term Rules - Boolean
Boolean Operators
• AND Finds only documents that contain all of the terms. The terms may be far apart from each other. e.g. food AND poison
• OR Finds documents that contain any of the terms. It is used to cover synonyms, alternate spellings, or abbreviations.
e.g. weather OR climate; “green fluorescent protein” OR gfp
• AND NOT Excludes documents that include the specified term from the search. It must be used at the end of a search.
e.g. tumor AND NOT malignant

Author Search
Here we search for the author Kamarudin Hussin, and indicate the name of his
affiliation should include “Perlis” (the author is from UNIMAP).
| 54 |
Author Search Results
Here the result is just one author profile, because our search was quite
specific, i.e. used full first name and specified an affiliation. Common names
will often result in many more results!
| 55 |
Author Profiles
• Author profiles are algorithmically created and perfected through user feedback.
• Scopus Author ID can be linked to their ORCID ID.
• Author profiles are an easy way to discover all the work by a particular researcher,
and to analyze their output in various ways.
| 56 |
Author Feedback
• Some authors have more than one Author Profile, in which case they can easily be
combined.
• Incorrect documents can also be removed during this process.
| 57 |
Author Feedback Wizard
• The Author Feecback Wizard allows you to make changes to an author profile
• The best person to give such feedback is of course the author him/herself, but in
principal others can also give feedback
| 58 |
Institutional Profiles
| 59 |
Affiliation Search
Here we do an affiliation search for “Indonesia”
| 60 |
Affiliation Search Results
The results shows all affiliation profiles which includes “Indonesia” in either the
name or country field.
| 61 |
Affiliation Profiles
• Affiliation profiles are profiles which group papers published at relevant institutions.
• The Quality of the profiles is Excellent, yet institutions are welcome to provide
feedback to Elsevier.
| 62 |
Assignment 3
Search for an author that interests you. Were you able to find him or her?
Does this author have an ORCID record?
Search for your institutional profile in Scopus. Are you able to find it?

Summary
• A key activity for researchers is efficient search and discovery of research papers (a second step can be the analysis thereof)
• Scopus facilitates searching in various ways:
• Document search
• Advanced search
• Author search
• Affiliation search
• Journal search
• Profiles
• Profiles save you the time of manually grouping papers
• Author profiles make it easier to find all the papers of a particular researcher. It also allows for easier analysis of their output and impact
• Institutional profiles do the same for an institution.

Research workflow can be represented by three main stages.
A metric is a numerical measurement that provides quantitative information
about performance (i.e. an indicator)
Metrics are used by people in research as one of the inputs in making
decisions.
Research is growing and becoming more complex, and metrics provide
digestible insights from the massive amounts of data that these activities
generate.
| 66 | 66 | | 66
Metrics allow us to:
Measure scientific production and
benchmark research performance at multiple levels
Assess the international impact
of research
Identify leading organizations and
competitors
Identify who is doing what and with whom in a variety of fields
Assess the impact of research funding on
the scientific output of researchers and
graduate students
Map collaboration networks and
identify collaboration opportunities
Monitor research trends

Impact FactorTM
A ratio between citations and recent citable items published in a journal;
the average number of citations received per published article.
A = the number of times that all items
published in that journal in 2006 and 2007
were cited by indexed publications during
2008.
B = the total number of "citable items"
published by that journal in 2006 and 2007.
("Citable items" for this calculation are
usually articles, reviews, proceedings, or
notes; not editorials or letters to the editor).
Citations to non-source items (editorials, letters, news items, book reviews, abstracts, etc) may inflate the IF

• IPP is raw indication of the average number of citations a publication in a journal will likely receive (based on average)
• Looks at citations in a year (Y) to papers published in the three previous years (Y-1, Y-2, Y-3) divided by the number of scholarly papers published in those same years (Y-1, Y-2, Y-3).
• Using same document types in both the numerator and denominator of the equation provides a fair impact measurement of the journal and diminishes the chance of manipulation.

SJR: SCImago Journal Rank
All 20K journals have a SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) a prestige metric based on
the idea that not all citations are equal
Life Sciences
journal
High impact, lots of citations
One citation = low value
Arts & Humanities
journal
Low impact, few on citations
One citation = high value
SJR normalizes for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields
• SJR is a variant of the eigenvector centrality measure used in network
theory and is inspired by the PageRank algorithm used in Google.
• Prestige transferred when a journal cites
• Citations are weighted depending on where they come from
• journal’s prestige is shared equally between its citations
