The growth of machines and users of the Internet has led to the
proliferation of all sorts of data concerning individuals,
institutions, companies, governments, universities, and all kinds
of known objects and events happening everywhere in daily life.
Scientific knowledge is not an exception to the data boom. The
phenomenon of data growth in science pushes forth as the number of
scientific papers published doubles every 9-15 years, and the need
for methods and tools to understand what is reported in scientific
literature becomes evident. As the number of academicians and
innovators swells, so do the number of publications of all types,
yielding outlets of documents and depots of authors and
institutions that need to be found in Bibliometric databases. These
databases are dug into and treated to hand over metrics of research
performance by means of Scientometrics that analyze the toil of
individuals, institutions, journals, countries, and even regions of
the world. The objective of this book is to assist students,
professors, university managers, government, industry, and
stakeholders in general, understand which are the main Bibliometric
databases, what are the key research indicators, and who are the
main players in university rankings and the methodologies and
approaches that they employ in producing ranking tables. The book
is divided into two sections. The first looks at Scientometric
databases, including Scopus and Google Scholar as well as
institutional repositories. The second section examines the
application of Scientometrics to world-class universities and the
role that Scientometrics can play in competition among them. It
looks at university rankings and the methodologies used to create
these rankings. Individual chapters examine specific rankings that
include: QS World University Scimago Institutions Webometrics
U-Multirank U.S. News & World Report The book concludes with a
discussion of university performance in the age of research
analytics.
