BUAN PUBLICATIONS (2020-2022): HOW TO VIEW THE ARTICLE METRICS ON SCOPUS

The guide is meant to display BUAN publications from 2020 to 2022

What is Scopus?

Scopus uniquely combines a comprehensive, expertly curated abstract and citation database with enriched data and linked scholarly literature across a wide variety of disciplines. Scopus quickly finds relevant and authoritative research, identifies experts and provides access to reliable data, metrics and analytical tools. Scopus helps users visualize, compare and export data to evaluate research output and trends

What are Article - level metrics and how are they useful?

Article - level metrics are quantifiable measures at the article level that document the many ways in which both scientists and the general public engage with published research.

Five Scopus-specific metrics can be found on a document’s metrics details page:

1. Total number of citations by a date range of the user’s choosing

2. Citations per year for a range

3. Citation benchmarking (percentile)

4. Field-weighted Citation Impact.

5. Views count - so users can understand usage at a glance.

PlumX Metrics: Provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment.

h-index and h-graph: View a researcher's performance based on career publications, as measured by the lifetime number of citations that each published article receives; h-indices indicate a balance between productivity (scholarly output) and citation influence (citation count).

Citation overview tracker: An adjustable date-range table that includes the number of times each document has been cited per publication year.

Visual analysis tools: Analyze an author’s output with a collection of in-depth tools designed to provide a clearer picture of an individual’s publication history (up to 15 years) and influence: total number of cited documents, total number of citations per year, and a list of documents with numbers of citing documents and links to citing documents per year and per article.

How to search for article - level metrics on Scopus?

On the Scopus Platform, after opening a specific journal article just below the abstract, there is a button for metrics. That is where the metrics of the specific journal article will be displayed.
