How do you cope with the explosion of information?
Source: Outsell, Inc “STM End-User Survey Part 1 – Scientists and Engineers” - Volume 3, June 11, 2009College Students’ Perceptions of the Libraries and Information Resources: A Report to the OCLC Membership. Dublin,OH: OCLC, 2006
Trends in the information age
Science is getting more competitive, more international andmore inter-disciplinary
What about the quality of information?
• Less time to do more research
• Researchers spend 10.7 hours per week in 2009 finding information compared to 5.5 hours in 2006
• 36% of online searches fail to find relevant information
• 89% college students use Google to search literature only 2% start from a library web site
• 84% of researchers report an increase in pressure to deliver morequickly than a year ago
– Study of the British Library and JISC
“Many young people do not find library-sponsored resources intuitive and therefore prefer to use
Google or Yahoo instead – These offer a familiar, if simplistic solution, for their study needs.”

The Hirsch index
• The Hirsch or h-index is rapidly becoming viewed as an alternative measure to the impact factor for performance evaluation.
• Published by Jorge E. Hirsch in August 2005
• Popular with academic community
• Can be calculated easily using the Citation Tracker and the search result page searching options.

The H-index: a definition
‘The H-index is the highest number of papers a scientist
has that have at least that number of citations.’

Currently in the market? – Impact Factor
Impact Factor pros • Easy to understand • Pervasive - stranglehold
Impact Factor cons • Little transparency – underlying database not publicly available – Impact Factors cannot be reconstructed
• Citation windows available are biased• 2 years favours rapidly moving fields• 5 years favours slowly moving fields
• Subject field differences*• Easy to mislead and manipulate*

SJR and SNIP are strong metrics
SCImago Journal Rank (SJR)• Prestige metric – similar to Google PageRank• Citations are weighted depending on the status of the source
they come from• Developed by SCImago (Felix de Moya) -University of Granada
Source-Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP)• SNIP measures contextual citation impact • Every citation is counted as 1 citation – similar to Impact Factor• SNIP is field normalized, dependent on likelihood of citation in
subject field of source• Developed by Henk Moed, CWTS -Leiden University.
