Reflect: highlighting proteins and chemicals

For Life Science users SciVerse ScienceDirect offers articles enriched with contextual information on proteins, genes, and small molecules as assembled by European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s service Reflect. Reflect recognizes proteins, genes, and small molecules from web pages, and link them to information-rich summaries. These can now be found directly from within the SciVerse ScienceDirect article.

NextBio: highlighting relevant biomedical terms

Partnership with NextBio (Spring ‘09) has enhanced ScienceDirect content in the fields of life sciences, health sciences and chemistry

Directly on the article page, researchers will find the NextBio application which presents key terms found in the selected article or book chapter

While viewing an article or book chapter on ScienceDirect, the keywords from that selected article or book chapter are matched against NextBio’s biomedical ontologies

Journal Metrics: SNIP & SJR

Measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.

The impact of a single citation is given higher value in subject areas where citations are less likely, and vice versa.

Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP)

LIFE SCIENCES JOURNAL

Many citations, high impactOne citation = low value

Few citations, low impactOne citation = high value

ARTS & HUMANITIES JOURNAL

SJR is a prestige metric based on the idea that ‘all citations are not created equal’

The subject field, quality, and reputation of the journal has a direct effect on the value of a citation

A journal’s prestige is shared equally between its citations

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR)

Professor Félix de Moya Anegón of the Centre for Human and Social Sciences (CCHS) of the Spanish National ResearchCouncil (CSIC) in Madrid and director of SCImago

Rates a scientist’s performance based on their career publications, as measured by the lifetime number of citations each article receives

Depends on both quantity (# of publications) and quality (# of citations) of a scientist’s publications

h-index

h-index lists all publications in descending order by the number citations received to date

An author’s h-index is the highest number of papers (h), that have each received at least h citations
