Research Trends is a bi-monthly newsletter about scientific trends based on bibliometric analysis powered by Scopus. The November issue (pdf) has stories on:
- Custom data fuels OECD’s Innovation Strategy
- Mapping unknown regions
- Geographical trends of research output
- Eigenfactor: pulling the stories out of the data
- Why am I cited…?
If you haven’t seen Eigenfactor, I recommend taking a look. Similar to Google’s PageRank algorithm, but using citations instead of links, Eigenfactor assigns value to a journal based not just on the number of citations but where they’re coming from.
