2 1 Agenda 1 Developments taking place in Poland 2 The different Rankings Elsevier is supporting 3 Importance of International Collaboration 4 SciVal to support: A. Reviewing Collaborators B. Reviewing the institution s Publication Portfolio C. Analyzing Strengths and Weaknesses D. Setting up a Research Strategy

3 1. Developments taking place in Poland 2

4 3 Developments taking place in Poland New Assessment methodology / process almost ready - More focus on quality / publishing in high quality (international) journals - Institution to be assessed versus faculties - Changes in funding distribution New Program for Research universities - Benchmarking and specialization - Additional funds available Increasing interest and ambitions in Rankings - National Perspektywy Ranking - International Ranking - THE / QS / Other Poland claiming the leading role in Central European Research? And Ministry financing / providing tools to support the process - InCites / SciVal, based on WoS / Scopus - Analyze Strengths & Weaknesses - Pro-actively work on improvements

5 4 Elsevier s support for the process Providing access to SciVal since beginning of 2018 Intensive rollout and training program - Several webinars - Onsite workshops/trainings in 6 major cities and more - Academy / Certification Program train the trainer Institutional support to improve visibility in Scopus - Collaborated with several institutions o Affiliations merging, affiliations hierarchy, and so on - Also important for Rankings IPW Institution Profile Wizard in Scopus - Institutions can easily maintain Scopus themselves (available mid July) - If some extra help needed, we can still support And Requests for additional support: - How to improve in the Rankings? - How to set up a Research Strategy?

6 2. The different Rankings Elsevier is supporting 5

7 6 Bibliometric data providers vs. ranking agencies unique to Scopus / SciVal shared with WoS/Clarivate

8 7 Citations (normalized for subject area) received in Scopus in period , on publications % papers with at least 1 international co-author, normalized for subject mix, based on Scopus publications in the period # papers published in Scopus per scholar, scaled for institutional size and normalized for subject

9 TITLE OF PRESENTATION 88 THE CE countries Top 1000 institutions Top 1000 THE # Institutions Czech Republic 12 Poland 9 Hungary 7 Romania 5 Slovakia 3 Estonia 2 Slovenia 2 Croatia 2 Latvia 2 Lithuania 1 Seeing the size of the country, the number of institutions, the research capacity and the growing awareness and ambitions, Poland should easily be able to take the leading position in CE - if executed well Identification and additional support/funding for 20 Research universities in Poland? Active use of tools like SciVal?

10 3. Importance of International Collaboration 9

11 Average Collaborate rate 10 FWCI vs. International Collaboration 0,7 What we observe: A higher position on the Ranking, requires higher impact/citations, which 0,6 will lead to higher FWCI. To get higher impact / FWCI you need more International Collaboration - which increases quality and engagement with 0,5 more international communities for citation potential 0,4 0,3 0,2 Romania bra ind Correl= Czech Poland jpn irn twn chn Hungary kor esp fra deu cangbr ausita bel Estonia usa che swe dnk nld 0,1 0 The question is: With whom to best collaborate? How attractive is your institution for collaboration? 0 0,2 0,4 0,6 0,8 1 1,2 1,4 1,6 1,8 2 Average FWCI FWCI (Field Weighted Citation Impact): generally accepted way to measure impact It normalizes the number of citations per publication, per publication year, subject category and document type >1 is above world average

24 23 Topics and their characteristics A topic is a collection of documents with a common intellectual interest Topics can be large or small, new or old, growing or declining Topics are dynamic and can evolve New topics can be born Many topics are inherently multidisciplinary Old topics may be dormant, but still exist Researchers have mobility and can contribute to multiple topics Based on Scopus data, around 100K Topics have been identified

25 24 New indicator: Topic prominence Prominence combines 3 metrics to indicate the momentum of the topic - Citation Count in year n to papers published in n and n-1 - Scopus Views Count in year n to papers published in n and n-1 - Average CiteScore for year n Why call it Prominence - Prominence Importance (Topics can be important but not prominent) - Prominence ~ Visibility Prominent Topics provide an indication of an institution s Strengths in a (very) specific area of research, that has good global visibility Quite good correlation has been found between Topic Prominence and available Funding for a Topic ->>Possible input for the Research Strategy
