Topics updates • Topic Clusters • Research Areas from Topics • Topics for Publication Sets Plus…
Topics in Scopus – expand your discovery
New Topics • • Launched in Jan 2019 37 new Topics Emerge from existing Topics Remember, no Topics disappear!
New Topics - See more in Overview • See the Topics from which this new Topic is derived, plus general metrics • Are available for free to the public via scival. com/newtopics
Topic Heat maps – easily see the overlap Available for Groups of Institutions in the Overview module
Topic name recalculation • We’ve re-run the naming algorithm for all Topics to reflect the new 5 year range − The new keyphrases reflect the essence of the Topics How can you identify the Topics using the old keyphrases? • The improved Topic search looks over the top 15 keyphrases • Use the T code
Using Sci. Val to power research platforms How? Feed metrics to: • Internal warehouse systems • CRIS systems like Pure • Reporting systems like Tableau • Push university organizational structure from Pure* to Sci. Val. • We’re two years old! REQUEST API USER’S APPLICATION DATA *More CRIS system support to follow
Which entities are available in the API? Through the Sci. Val API you can download metrics for: • Researchers • Institutions • Groups of Institutions* • Countries • Groups of Countries* • Topics** • Topic Clusters** • …and the whole list of Topics your institution is active in** *Pre-defined entities **New
Which are the metric options? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Scholarly Output Publications in Top Journal Percentiles Outputs in Top Citation Percentiles Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) Collaboration Citation Count Citations Per Publication h-indeces Collaboration Impact Cited Publications Academic-Corporate Collaboration** Academic-Corporate Collaboration Impact** • All metric options included (field-weighting, exclusion of self-citations, etc. ) • Data for all the Sci. Val year ranges, including the new 10 -year range (rolling window) • Initial limitation of 5000 metric requests (up to 100 identifiers per request) per month (86% of all metric calls)* *At the time of API release **New
