Publish or Perish Anne-Wil Harzing - Sat 6 Feb 2016 16:10 (updated Tue 19 Nov 2019 17:03) Are you applying for tenure, promotion or a new job? Do you need to prepare for your performance appraisal? Publish or Perish is designed to help individual academics to present their case for research impact to its best advantage, even if you have very few citations. You can also use it to decide which journals to submit to, to prepare for a job interview, to do a literature review, to do bibliometric research, to write laudatios or obituaries, or to do some homework before meeting your academic hero.

*Improving access and delivery of academic content - a survey of current & emerging trends Recently the CWTS Leiden Rankings for 2020 was released and like many institution rankings , it used common research indicators such as PP(top 1%). The number and the proportion of a university’s publications that, compared with other publications in the same field and in the same year, belong to the top 1% most frequently cited. More importantly it included less commonly seen indicators like Open Access Indicators and Gender Indicators. Academic Search Engines Additional Resources Information and Tips A note on Authoritative That One Privacy Site When I learned that my privacy was being invaded by different companies multiple times a day, I started trying to reclaim it. I wanted a VPN. However, I soon found that there was very little unbiased and reliable information about VPNs. Almost everything I came across was disguised advertising. I started researching VPN services for my own knowledge, then posted my findings online to try and help people. I mainly publish two types of information: VPN reviews, and a Comparison Chart of detailed data about the service provided by different VPN companies.

How can blogging help research make an impact beyond academia? Illustrative examples from the LSE blogs Previous posts in our series on the Impact of LSE Blogs project examined the effects of blogging on the academic sphere, looking more closely at citations to the original research outputs and also to the blog posts themselves. But what about the effects of blogging beyond academia, on the public sphere? In the final post of the series, Kieran Booluck recounts some examples of how LSE blogs have helped primary academic research to be discovered and used, and also revisits those posts that have demonstrated the blogs’ huge potential to extend the reach of research. Earlier this summer, Carlos Arrebola and Amy Mollett introduced the Impact of LSE Blogs project, which sought to investigate the role of LSE’s public-facing academic blogs as channels of academic communication.

PlumX Metrics - Plum Analytics PlumX Metrics allows you to get more value from an institutional repository (IR) by embedding the altmetrics about your research directly into the IR. These altmetrics are about the different versions of the same article – not just the one in the IR, so your authors can see the impact and reach of their research in just one place. This makes your IR a more valuable place for research and encourages your authors to deposit their articles and other research. Embed metrics where you need them. The PlumX metrics come to you.

For academics, what matters more: journal prestige or readership? With more than 30,000 academic journals now in circulation, academics can have a hard time figuring out where to submit their work for publication. The decision is made all the more difficult by the sky-high pressure of today’s academic environment—including working toward tenure and trying to secure funding, which can depend on a researcher’s publication record. So, what does a researcher prioritize?
