-Normalized Impact Factor
Activity and Attractivity index
The percentage of the number of documents in a given field according to all documents in a given country
• ACI =The percentage of the number of documents in a given field according to all documents in the
world
Activity Index measures the thematic specialisation
The percentage of the number of citations in a given field according to all citations in a given country
• ATI =The percentage of the number of citations in a given field according to all citations
in the world
Attractivity Index measures the capacity to attract citations

Authors
Recommendations (I)• To work with the publishers of the journals to obtain that they
improve their positions in the international databases and the access to them
– To decrease Self citation
– To publish in Englis language
– To increase International Collaboration
– To improve the Quality of the contents (scientific and editorial board)
• To create, (if it does not exist) a support unit to help scientits in scientific publication:– To produce annual reports of the publication patterns in each
institution to improve the communications among researchers and the knowlegde of the decisions makers.
– To give information about possible journals to publish. – To help the researchers to prepare the papers according to
international standards of scientific journals (translation, style, norms and format of documents)
Recommendations (II)
• Promotion of the national and international collaboration respecting the specific average number of co-authors in each discipline.
• To encourage balance quality in the different scientific areas by the international collaboration.– Which are the countries that are the best to collaborate with?– Which are such institutions?– Which are such research groups?
• To increase the number of researchers at international level– Mobility of researchers– To encourage the Slovenian researchers that work in the other countries to work in
Slovenia– To encourage foreign researchers to collaborate to Slovenian ones by projects or grants
Recommendations (III)• The visibility of the Slovenian results of research has to became a
priority at national and institutional level:
– To develop and to encourage the use of institutional repositories for the researchers. Formal adhesion to the declarations of Berlin and Budapest
– Creation of national repositories. Diffusion in Google Scholar and other international diffusers of the world
– Approval of a protocol for the inclusion of works related to the concession of incentives.
– To apply all possible services for the international visibility of Slovenian research
– To improve the website of institutions in order to obtain a greater visibility of the Slovenian research in the world.
Thank you for your attention
