SCiNiTO
utilizes several bibliometric indicators to evaluate and analyze scientific
works and research. These indicators help users assess the impact and quality
of scientific output. Some of the key indicators include:
Number of Citations: The total number of times a paper or author has
been cited by other papers hosted in this source.
H-Index: A metric that measures the scientific impact of a
researcher based on the number of publications and the number of citations
to those publications. Specifically, the H-index is a number that
indicates how many papers a researcher has produced that have received at
least H citations each in this source.
SJR : A prestige metric that considers both the
number of citations and the importance of the citing journals. It’s a
bibliometric indicator developed by the SCImago website to evaluate and
rank scientific journals and publications. This metric specifically
assesses the scientific impact of journals through citations.
References: The references at the end of
each article, also known as the bibliography or works cited, are a list of
all the sources that the authors have cited or referred to throughout
their work. The number of each work references are mentioned in each
resource.
Quartiles: In
the context of academic publishing and bibliometrics, quartiles are
statistical measures used to categorize journals based on their impact and
citation metrics. Quartiles provide a way to evaluate the relative
standing or quality of journals within a specific field or discipline. A
quartile divides a dataset into four equal parts. In the context of
journal rankings, the journals are divided into four groups (Q1, Q2, Q3,
Q4) based on their citation metrics, such as the Impact Factor or other
relevant indicators. so we have
four categories which are:
Q1 (TOP 25% of
Journals):
Journals in this
quartile are considered the highest-ranked and have the most significant impact
in their field. They typically have high citation rates and are prestigious in
the academic community.
Q2 (TOP 25%): Journals in this
quartile are still well-regarded but have a slightly lower level of impact
compared to Q1 journals. They offer valuable contributions to the field but may
not be as widely cited.
Q3 (Next 25%): Journals in Q3 are
less impactful than those in Q1 and Q2, but they still feature important
research and can contribute to academic discourse.
Q4 (Bottom 25%): Journals in the
lowest quartile may have lower citation rates and are often considered less
influential within their respective fields.
