Classic feature of any research analytics system is to be able to provide a metric based on the given research data given like the citation count and other kinds of data it is important to analyze the given data and give feedback and understand performance of a given research department, Scholar or the research, So we used a novel approach to rate given person based on the research work and comparing it with different works published in the same area, it is to be noted that the score/rating only focuses on the domain rather than rating the whole scholars work this way we can estimate the scholar's performance with respect to one domain which several other types of ratings fail to do so. This method will act advantageously especially in research organizations where appraisals and giving research grants are usually done based on scholar's previous work in a specific domain. We were able to formulate results for 62 different authors from 8 different domains, these domains and authors were picked randomly so as to efficiently understand the working of the methodology we followed four essential steps in this approach namely gathering dataset, applying Glicko-2 ranking algorithm, finding average rating value for all works finally calculating d-impact score using GPA method on the scale of 9. We can conclude that the result is a both domain-specific and more accurate representation of the author's impact. In work we gave introduction regarding methodology and description of existing technologies in section 1, In section-2 we described the need of the proposed methodology with few sample results in existing methodology and proposed one, In section-4 we described the methodology in step by step manner and also presented proposed algorithm with all the required formulae, In section-5 we presented analysis and actual summary of the results, In section-6 we presented the conclusion.

Research Contact ,Scholarly Communications ,citations ,author impact - Abstract
Author Profiles - Self-presentation is particularly important when it comes to conveying professionalism.The Scopus Author Identifier assigns a unique number to groups of documents written by the same author via an algorithm that matches authorship based on a certain criteria. If a document cannot be confidently matched with an author identifier, it is grouped separately. In this case, you may see more than 1 entry for the same author.ResearcherID provides a solution to the author ambiguity problem within the scholarly research community. Each member is assigned a unique identifier to enable researchers to manage their publication lists, track their times cited counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification.

Author impact evaluation and prediction play a key role in determining rewards, funding, and promotion. In this paper, we first introduce the background of the author impact evaluation and prediction. Then, we review the recent developments of the author impact evaluation, including data collection, data pre-processing, data analysis, feature selection, algorithm design, and algorithm evaluation. Third, we provide an in-depth literature review on the author impact predictive models and the common evaluation metrics. Finally, we look into the representative research issues, including author impact inflation, unified evaluation standards, academic success gene, identification of the origins of hot streaks, and higher-order academic networks analysis. This paper should help the researchers obtain a broader understanding of the author impact evaluation and prediction and provides future research directions.

The present study compares research productivity in physics in Bahrain and Kuwait, as indexed in the Web of Science database during 2011-2020. Scientometric indices, such as the yearly research growth, type of research, prolific author, most impactful source, productive institutions, and most cited country and documents, portray the different dimensions. It was examined that during 2011-2020, there was a substantial increase in the yearly output of physics literature in Bahrain and Kuwait. The study reveals that the literature in physics is gradually increasing, and there is an upwards trend. The year 2019 was the leading year for contributions from Bahrain (78 papers) as well as Kuwait (272 papers). Coincidently, Bououdina M (189 papers) was the most prolific author in both Bahrain and Kuwait. 'Optic' (24 papers) was the most productive source for Bahrain, while it was 'AIP Conference Proceedings' (54 papers) for Kuwait. X-Ray Diffraction (84) was the most researched title topic in Bahrain, while it was Nano Fluidics (132) for Kuwait. Single author collaboration for Bahrain was 69, while it was 160 for Kuwait; documents per author collaboration for Bahrain was 0.513 and was 0.233 for Kuwait; and authors per documents collaboration for Bahrain was 1.95 and for Kuwait was 4.3. However, the research trends specify a greater scope for higher research in physics in Bahrain and Kuwait. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We define a Landmark Paper Index (LPI), calculate and analyze indices for all papers published in rheological journals (‘η-journals’) between 1990 and 2006. This paper offers some information about the criteria influencing the impact of publications on the (scientific) community. In opposite to the well known Impact Factor (journal sensitive) or the number of citations (article sensitive, publication year insensitive) the LPI helps to identify established and potential breakthrough contributions by considering the number of citations per year after publication, in a way which does not overestimate the few, highly cited, articles when performing averages. We discuss the effect of formal criteria on the LPI.

The Impact Factor of a journal is a quantitative way of assessing its worth and relevance to the academic community it serves. Many librarians see the ratio between Impact Factor and price as a suitable yardstick by which to measure the value of their collections. In addition, the research assessment exercises which, in many countries, are now being carried out on a more formal basis mean that authors submitting original research must publish it in a journal with the highest perceived worth possible in order to secure future funding, job promotions and peer recognition. It has been suspected [T. Opthof, Cardiovasc. Res. 33 (1997) 1; J. Stegmann, Nature 390 (1990) 550], however, that a particular author’s impact is not much related to the journals in which her/he publishes. As will be demonstrated in this letter, the impact of articles published in rheological journals is largely influenced by criteria such as length of article, number of authors, number of cited references.

Ranking of authors is a challenging task with continuing growth in the size of computationally analysable data and dynamic nature of scholarly networks. This study ranks the authors not only on the basis of their own work but, also measures the impact of mutual influence of authors when they work in collaboration. The work of an author is influenced by the work of his or her co-authors, more in the case if co-authors are senior and less otherwise. This study proposes MuInf Rank (Mutual Influence based Ranking algorithm), which is calculated via a series of experiments. First, we calculate Mutual Influence with respect to number of papers, second, the number of citations and third, we calculate the combined effect of papers and citations with respect to the mutual influence of authors. It is shown empirically that the proposed methods produce satisfying results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Indigenous Knowledge (IK) refers to traditional knowledge that play a key role in the sustainable development of human society. Nowadays, the importance of IK is recognized significantly. We focus on a citation analysis of scholarly publications on IK during 2015-2019. The main contribution of this paper is to highlight the most productive journals; author impact; ranking of cited journals, non-journals, authors, and documents; reference spectroscopy; the shared coupling of articles; and co-citation of cited-authors. The scholarly citation data (n=2000) were collected from the Web of Science database and analyzed using bibliometrics software. The findings reveal that the “Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine” is the most productive journal. B. Held is identified as a most impactful author. The highly cited journal and non-journal are “Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge” and “Decolonizing Methodologies”. This paper also uncovers that “Anonymous authors” are cited most of the time in 2000 articles; the increase in citation is the highest from 21st-century; and the highest shared coupling strength of two articles is 70. Lastly, a co-citation network is visualized to establish the relationship of cited-authors. This paper provides a distinct overview of citation analysis and it can be helpful for both the IK researchers and LIS professionals.

SUPPLY chain management ,EVIDENCE-based management ,UNIVERSITY rankings ,AUTHORS ,RESEARCH - Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper, using an evidence-based management theoretical lens, is to examine research impact to provide guidance to supply chain management academics in evidencing and exploiting the outputs, outcomes and impact of their research. Design/methodology/approach – Evidence-based management theory is examined and applied to types of academic research impact. The distinction between academic and non-academic impact is developed into a supply chain framework of research outputs, transfer, outcomes, impact and national/international benefits. Impact of supply chain management research is explored through a case study in the English National Health Service. Future opportunities and challenges for supply chain management researchers arising from increasing demand for and supply of evidence are discussed. Findings – Author academic impact and citations are found to be increasingly important building blocks of evidence-based evaluations of individual academics, journals, research quality assessments of groups and universities, and global rankings of universities. Supply chain management researchers can compare their impact with other areas of academia. Non-academic impact of research has been assessed by funders of research projects and has spread to research quality assessments of universities. Social implications – Bibliometrics provide evidence of author and journal impact that can be used in human resource decisions, research quality assessments and global rankings of universities; this availability enables a debate on appropriate use of academic impact evidence. Supply chain management academics evidencing non-academic research impact on business, society and economy will enable governments and funders of research to evaluate value for money return on their investment. Originality/ value – This perspective of evidence-based evaluation of research impact and its implications might encourage debate on academic and non-academic impact and encourage supply chain researchers to consider evidencing impact in their research design and methodology.

22. An empirical investigation of the influence of collaboration in Finance on article impact.

Avkiran, Necmi
- Abstract
We investigate the impact of collaborative research in academic Finance literature to find out whether and to what extent collaboration leads to higher impact articles (6,667 articles across 2001-2007 extracted from the Web of Science). Using the top 5 % as ranked by the 4-year citation counts following publication, we also follow related secondary research questions such as the relationships between article impact and author impact; collaboration and average author impact of an article; and, the nature of geographic collaboration. Key findings indicate: collaboration does lead to articles of higher impact but there is no significant marginal value for collaboration beyond three authors; high impact articles are not monopolized by high impact authors; collaboration and the average author impact of high-impact articles are positively associated, where collaborative articles have a higher mean author impact in comparison to single-author articles; and collaboration among the authors of high impact articles is mostly cross-institutional.

Mattsson, Pauline, Sundberg, Carl, and Laget, Patrice
- Abstract
Bibliometric indicators are increasingly used to fund and evaluate scientific research. Since the number of authors in a paper and the number of has increased it is difficult to determine the individual contribution of authors. Suggested approaches include the study of author position or the corresponding author. Our findings show that the corresponding author is most likely to appear first and then last in the byline. The results are dependent on number of authors in a paper and national differences exist. This underscores the need to take into account both the number of authors on a paper and their position in the byline to be accurate when measuring author contribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

H-index (Citation analysis) , *PUBLICATIONS , *CITATION analysis , *BIBLIOGRAPHY , *ACHIEVEMENT , *CITATION indexes - Abstract
The h-index characterizes the publication achievement/impact of authors and is defined by the originator Jorge Hirsch as: 'the number of papers with citation number ≥h'. The h-index has the inherent characteristic that authors with very different total citations can have the same h-index. In fact, no contributions to the h-index are made either by papers cited fewer times than h, or citations of an individual paper above h. Such citations are 'excess' citations not credited by the h-index. To address these deficiencies, we propose a simple, straightforward modification, the hb-index: hb=h+√e, where h is the Hirsch h-index and e is the sum of all citations minus h2. Therefore, e is the excess citations not credited by the h-index. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
