●Journal circulation
●Visibility
●Journal performance
Journal performance measures (indicators)
Journal Citation Reports (JCR)
●a.o. standard Journal Impact Factor and 5-year Impact Factor
Scopus Journal Analyzer (SJA)
●Scimago Journal Rank (SJR)
prestige metric based on the idea that ‘all citations are not created equal’
●Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP)

Bibliometric indicators: An example
Zee, F.P.v.d., G. Lettinga & J.A. Field (2001) Azo dye decolourisation by anaerobic granular sludge. Chemosphere 44:1169-1176.
●Citations from WoS: 94
Journal: Chemosphere
●Categorised by ESI in Environment/Ecology
Baseline data for Environment/Ecology.
●Article from 2001 in Environment/ecology:
●On average: 19.36 citations; top 10%: 44 citations; top1%: 141 citations
Relative Impact: 94 / 19.36 = 4.9
h-index
A scientist has index h if h of his/her Np papers have at least h citations each, and the other (Np − h) paper have no more than h citations each.
h-index
h-index tries to find a balance between productivity and citation impact
Only published in 2005, has made a substantial impact in the world of bibliometrics.
Applicable to authors, journals, research groups, compounds, subjects etc…
But there are some serious doubtsWaltman, L. & N. J. van Eck (2011). The inconsistency of the h-index. Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology: n/a-n/a http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/asi.21678

The impact factor Matthew effect
The journal in which papers are published have a strong influence on their citation rates, as duplicate papers published in high-impact journals obtain, on average, twice as many citations as their identical counterparts published in journals with lower impact factors..

Final word on journal selection
It is better to publish one paper in a quality journal than multiple papers in lesser journals. [...]. Try to publish in journals that have high impact factors; chances are your paper will have high impact, too, if accepted.

Networking
Cooperation is effective
WTI2 report 2011
Cooperation...

Teams increasingly dominate solo authors in the production of knowledge. Research is increasingly done in teams across nearly all fields.
Teams typically produce more frequently cited research than individuals do, and this advantage has been increasing over time.
Teams now also produce the exceptionally high-impact research, even where that distinction was once the domain of solo authors.
Networking is important!Start early, make use of social networking tools

Self citations and more
Self citations
The model [...] implies that external citations are enhanced by self-citations, so that we have the “chain reaction:” Larger size leads to more self-citations, which lead to more external citations.

More on references
Articles that cite more references are in turn cited more themselves

Open Access Publishing
Most theses are available as OA
e-Theses are the mainstay of OA publications for Wageningen UR
Theses : 200 theses * 4 articles ~ 800 preprints/year
Productivity Wageningen UR: 2400 peer reviewed articles / year
This accounts for: 33% of the outputBravo!But don’t forget it!
Make your publications OA available
Be aware of your copyrights when publishing Golden Road
PloS Journals, BMC, etcGreen Road
Self archived copies (final author’s version) Wageningen Yield, RePec, ArXiv etc.
Open Choice Hybrid system, author pays and library pays Springer journals are a favourable exception

Is there a citation advantage for OA?
Evidence is not entirely conclusive, but mounting van Raan has started to self archive his preprints
