Scopus is designed to accelerate the literature research process
1) What’s the best journal for my
research?
2) Related interdisciplinary,
global, research?
3) Who is citing my work?
4) What’s the trend - is this a growing or declining field?
5) Who else is working on this in
my country or elsewhere in the
world?

open, non-profit, community-based effort to create and maintain a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers.The ORCID Registry is available free of charge to individuals, who may obtain an ORCID, manage their record of activities, and search for others in the Registry.This addresses the problem that a particular author's contributions to the scientific literature can be hard to electronically recognize as most personal names are not uniqueAs of May 2013, ORCID has over 35 member organizations.[14] this includes many publishers, including the heavyweights Elsevier, Springer, Wiley and Nature Publishing Group. Others are research institutions (among them Caltech and Cornell University), commercial companies including Thomson Reuters, academic societies and a charitable foundation, the Wellcome Trust.

METHODOLOGY BASICS
• Uses Scopus data- An abstract and index database- Over 16,000 global journals
• Maps generated using a proprietary algorithm based on co-citation analysis
• Publications from the past 5 years included

• SciVal Spotlight uses co-citation analysis to generate a classification system
• Co-citation clusters references, and then assigns current papers to these clusters (Griffith, Small, Stonehill, & Dey, 1974; Small, 1999; Small, Sweeney, & Greenelee, 1985)
• The resulting clusters represent the structure of scientific research that year
Step 1: Co-Citation Analysis
6
Start with all papers published in 2007
7
Select the ‘highly cited’ references of the 2007 articles…
8
WHAT IS MEANT BY ‘HIGHLY-CITED’ PAPERS?
• Threshold is applied to limit analysis to most highly cited as only want to use those papers that really determine current structure of science
• For example, in the year 2007:- over 15 million references- Threshold limits analysis to approx 2M cited references.
• Note: Only cites from the current year are counted; not cumulative times cited over many years. This limits the set of cited papers to those that are important to current science, not past science.
9
Select the ‘highly cited’ references of the 2007 articles…
Blue = Papers published in 2007White = Highly cited references of 2007Grey = Additional (ignored) references

Each cluster is positioned on the wheel based on their discipline*

• In order to identify areas of strength, the Relative Article Share of each institution is calculated for each of the approximately 80,000 clusters
• RAS: the institution’s publication level (over a 5-year period) divided by the largest publication level of any other university
• Sliding scale between 0.2 and 0.6
• On average, only 20% of a university’s publication are in problem areas with an RAS that meets or exceeds their threshold
Step 2: Measuring Relative Article Share

• The clusters where an institution has depth are further clustered based on the faculty publication patterns
• Patterns observed through fractional assignment of papers to clusters
• Multiple papers from an institution are split across the same set of clusters, they are grouped (fractional count > 0.1)
• Creates network of research problems and each network represents a strength for that university
Step 3: Identifying Institutions’ Strengths

CREATE AN INSTITUTION’S MAP
23
• The strengths are then analyzed to determine if the institution is a leader in this area
• A network is considered to be a DC if it is of sufficient size and meets one of the three ‘Leadership Criteria’
- Publication leadership (RPS)- Reference leadership (RRS)- State-of-the-Art leadership (SotA)
Step 4: Identifying Distinctive Competencies vs Emerging
Competencies

CREATE AN INSTITUTION’S MAP
25
• Once all of the DCs and ECs have been identified, they are visualized on the Wheel of Science
• Research problems are placed along the edge of the wheel
• Rely on the literature of a single disciple = along the edge
• Interdisciplinary strengths = near the center of the wheel
Step 5: Generating a Competency Map
26
DC DETAILS – CIRCLE VISUALIZATION
• Each line in the Circle represents a cluster that is part of this DC
• The line points to the location of that cluster on the wheel
• Recall that each cluster is positioned on the wheel based on their discipline

VISUALIZATION - MAPPING
• Distinctive Competency is drawn on the circle map as a smaller circle
• Size of a circle is relative to the market size
• Location is based on the article clusters in the Distinctive Competency

Patterns of International Collaboration
• University level large scale international collaboration– Human Genome project, ATLAS project
• Faculty level medium scale international collaboration– Professors and PIs are working with each other– Often scholars recruited from oversea
• Student level small scale international collaboration– Exchange graduate students
