Citation analysis for research evaluation

Tomorrow, I am about to give a course on citation analysis for research evaluation. This powerpoint is the mainstay for the morning, but the course is open to any suggestions. It differs only in little details from the course given at the start of this year. The most exciting change came from Scimago, which I only discovered yesterday but has already been included in the exercises.

    On slide 35, you should delete a couple r’s from “review arrrticles,” unless you are meaning to growl.
    Otherwise this looks very helpful. May I use portions of it here at the University of Missouri? We, unfortunately, can no longer afford Web of Science and will buy Scopus instead. I was also very happy the learn of SJR.

    Thanks for pointing out the typo. Yes please go a head and use parts of the presentation, it has a CC license for exactly that purpose.
    At Wageningen we are studying both WoS/ESI/JCR and Scopus very carefully.
