Citation Analysis for Publishers Thursday 27 May 2010, London
Please note: Delegates will need to bring their own laptop to the course.
Overview:
Bibliometrics in the broadest sense is simply the study of texts or information, but
in a journal publishing context, it is most commonly used to refer to the analysis of
citations between journal articles. This course provides an overview of bibliometrics
with particular reference to journal metrics such as the Impact Factor, Eigenfactor,
and SJR indicator. Specific attention will be given to characteristics and differences
between commercial citation indexes, and will include hands-on use of these products,
including an illustration of the types of analysis which can be derived from these
data sources. The course will conclude with a discussion on the relationship between
download statistics and citations.
Who should attend:
This course is suitable for staff with a responsibility to undertake, or to discuss,
bibliometric analysis in the widest sense (e.g. editorial, marketing, and data
analysts). It is suitable both for junior, or recently appointed staff, plus those
more experienced staff looking to supplement existing knowledge.
