Author metrics

You can make a case about the impact of your career of producing research outputs (productivity) and the impact of the outputs collectively (citation counts) based on your h-index and other author metrics, using the following tools:

Field Weighted Citation Impact (SciVal)

Go to SciVal
Access the Benchmarking Module
Define or select a researcher, group or institution
Select a date range
Select table view and choose the following
1. Metric 1 = Published > Scholarly Output
2. Metric 2 = Cited > Field Weighted Citation Impact
3. Metric 3 = You may leave this blank
Your Field-Weighted Citation Impact will be displayed in the table

If you have yet to Define a new researcher follow these steps:

Go to Explore
Select the Entity List Button
Select the Researchers and Groups option
From the bottom of this panel select +Create/Import
Select Define a new Researcher
Enter Last Name / First Name and then Search
From the results, select the required Researcher and then click Directly go to Save Researcher

Using Scopus to analyse your author output

Step 1: Search for the author profile

Optional: enter Affiliation (eg 'University of Melbourne') and ORCID.

Step 2: Select the correct cluster of alternative author names

Step 3: View the author profile summary metrics

Step 4: Analyze the author output

Using Web of Science to determine your h-index and other metrics:

Open Web of Science (Core Collection).
Select the Author search mode.
Select and aggregate the relevant publications into one report (alternatively, create a Web of Science Researcher Identifier profile and link it to your ORCID - this will locate and link all your publications in one step).
You can view the report on the screen in graph format (see image below).
You can also export the report to an excel spreadsheet, or save the report in a text file format.
Note: only those publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection is taken into consideration when the h-index is computed.
