Research Seminar - The role of publication in research and Bibliometric evaluation

 

Publication of scientific research plays an increasingly prominent role in academia. From being regarded as the outcome of a successful research project, we are now asked to specify how the results will be published already when planning the research or at the time of funding application. Therefore, it is relevant to look at publication as part of the research practice that is present throughout the entire research process. In addition to publishing being expected to occur in established and peer reviewed channels, today there are new opportunities for publishing in pre-printed archives, blogs and in short form on social media such as Twitter. How can these seemingly conflicting requirements be made compatible?

 

In this seminar, Gustaf will talk about the role of publishing in different channels in relation to bibliometric evaluation and resource allocation. What trends do we see in scientific publications in social sciences and humanities? In which "channels" – e.g. journals, monographs and books or gray literature, are publications being recognized from a bibliometric perspective? Additionally, what is internally recognized in a discipline may not give "points" or citations at the university level or in the national redistribution.

 

Some of the issues that we will discuss are:

1) Why do bibliometric indicators exist, a little about their history

2) What does the different indicators measure?

3) Can you say which ones are most reliable, robust, relevant?

4) Is there cheating and are the indicators misused?

5) How could they be used in a reasonable, responsible way?

6) What does the future look like for indicators in academia?
