Hi all,

 

Thanks for your patience!

 

I have now compiled the results of the quick survey re: bibliometrics-based research assessment tools (e.g. SciVal, InCites etc.) that we ran:

 

1.       Question 1

 

Does your institution currently use a bibliometrics-based research assessment tool (e.g. SciVal, InCites etc.)?

 

Responses

 

Yes - 94.74% (18)

No - 5.26% (1)

 

TOTAL   19

 

 

2.       Question 2

 

If so, which bibliometrics-based research assessment tool does your institution use?

 

Responses

 

SciVal - 50.00% (9)

 

InCites - 33.33% (6)

 

                Not applicable (we don't have one of these tools) - 0.00% (0)

 

We use a different tool (please specify) - 16.67% (3)

 

"CWTS Monitor"

 

"We use both SciVal and Incites (no option to check both)"

 

"Chronos for our Gates funded research"

 

TOTAL   18

 

 

3.       Question 3

 

On a scale of 1-5, please rate how important you think your bibliometrics-based research assessment tool is to supporting research at your institution (5 = vitally important, 1 = not important at all)

 

5 - 38.89% (7)

 

4 - 33.33% (6)

 

3 - 22.22% (4)

 

2 - 5.56% (1)

 

1 - 0.00% (0)

 

Not applicable (we don't have one of these tools) - 0.00% (0)

 

TOTAL   18

 

Thanks again to everyone who took part – much appreciated!

 

 

David.
