Report of the Independent Review of the Role of Metrics in Research Assessment and Management

Analyses du REF (UK) et réflexions intéressantes en seconde partie sur la métrique SHS

Vast numbers of scientific articles are published each year, some of which attract considerable attention, and some of which go almost unnoticed. Here, we investigate whether any of this variance can be explained by a simple metric of one aspect of the paper's presentation: the length of its title. Our analysis provides evidence that journals which publish papers with shorter titles receive more citations per paper. These results are consistent with the intriguing hypothesis that papers with shorter titles may be easier to understand, and hence attract more citations.

Last Thursday, Elsevier announced CiteScore metrics, a free citation reporting service for the academic community. The primary metric promoted by this service is also aptly named CiteScore and is similar, in many ways, to the Impact Factor. Both CiteScore and the Impact Factor are journal-level indicators built around a ratio of citations to documents.

Using the full-text corpus of more than 75,000 research articles published by seven PLOS journals, this paper proposes a natural language processing approach for identifying the function of citations.

"The iCite database currently contains articles published between 1995 and 2016; Relative Citation Ratios are available for articles published between 1995 and 2015."

Which are the most important papers in the history of a field? On whose shoulders of giants does an author stand? Where to look for the intellectual roots of a research topic? These questions can be answered by using the program CitedReferencesExplorer (CRExplorer). The CRExplorer is a new software development which is based on the programs provided at Loet Leydesdorff's homepage.

Like a modern-day Protagoras, Elsevier has offered us CiteScore, a new metric for a community that likes nothing better than to add two numbers together. Some might wonder if we need a new metric, if we are not in fact already awash in metrics.
