Presentation: Connecting Publications and Data – Connecting Scientific Resources Breakout – Science Online London 2010
Session abstract:
Do you have data? Have you decided that you want to publish that data in a friendly way? Then this session is for you. Allowing your data to be linked to other data sets is an obvious way to make your data more useful, and to contribute back to the data community that you are a part of, but the mechanics of how you do that is not always so clear cut. This session will discuss just that. With experts from the publishing world, the liked data community, and scientific data services, this is a unique opportunity to get an insight into how to create linked scientific data, and what you can do with it once you have created it.

From article about SNIP – “Across a subject field as broad as scholarly communication, assessing journal impact by citations to a journal in a two-year time frame is obviously going to favor those subjects that cite heavily, and rapidly. Some fields, particularly those in the life sciences, tend to conform to this citation pattern better than others, leading to some widely recognized distortions.”
-
From article: “Prestige measured by quantity of citations is one thing, but when it is based on the quality of those citations, you get a better sense of the real value of research to a community. Research Trends talks to Prof. Félix de Moya about SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), which ranks journals based on where their citations originate.”
-
From article :Bibliometric indicators are not without their own controversies (1, 2) and recently there has been an explosion of new metrics, accompanying a shift in the mindset of the scientific community towards a multidimensional view of journal evaluation.”
