Description
The visibility and impact of research activity is increasingly important to researchers.
The first part of the course gives an overview on bibliometrics and adresses its possibilites and limitations. We will present different metrics like author-level metrics (h-index), journal-level metrics (journal impact factor, Cite Score), and article-level metrics (alternative metrics) and show how to calculate these bibliometric indicators.
The second part of the course deals with different projects for unique author identification (e.g. Web of Science ResearcherID, Scopus ID, ORCID iD). The correct assignment of a publication to the respective author offers the possibility to distinguish one's publications from the work of other researchers (of similar or same name). Author profiles in literature databases (Web of Science, Google Scholar Profile, Scopus) help to improve the visibility of your research.

For reasons of respect and fairness towards all participants and the workshop leaders, participants who miss more than 10% of the workshop are considered not to be present. You will therefore not receive a certificate and you will not be able to use the workshop in question to unlock funds or acquire further qualifications.

Before you register, please confirm with your supervisor/employer that you are free to participate in the course on that date.
