Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature including scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. Delivering a comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities, Scopus features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research. 

These monthly webinars will showcase how to use and benefit from Scopus.

Research assessment should not be centered solely on bibliometrics such as publication and citation metrics but should encompass other measures that address the broad range of assessment-related questions. These cover research inputs, outputs and outcomes, such as funding, collaboration, usage, commercialization and the adoption of innovation. As more diverse data sources and metrics are used, a richer and more informative picture of research emerges.

The International Center for the Study of Research (ICSR) was established by Elsevier in 2019 with a mission to further the study of research and thus to contribute to the evidence base supporting the practice of research strategy, evaluation and policy. In 2020, ICSR and Elsevier signed the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and endorsed the Leiden Manifesto for Research Metrics, two internationally-recognized statements of best practice in responsible research assessment.

In this Library Connect webinar, Christopher Belter will discuss what responsible research assessment might look like in practice for a large biomedical funding agency. ICSR staff members Andrew Plume and Holly Falk-Krzesinski will then discuss the recommendations of both DORA and the Leiden Manifesto and their implications for Elsevier as well as for librarians and their users.

Advancing responsible research assessment: implications for librarians

One of the primary purposes of the IR is to serve an institution’s faculty by representing the full breadth of their works.  However, creating a comprehensive archive is one of the hardest, most burdensome challenges for IR managers.

Register now to learn about the new Scopus-to-Digital Commons harvesting API, which can save IR managers up to 90% of the time it typically takes to add faculty publication records into the IR. 

Hear from two institutions, Michigan Technological University and Missouri University of Science and Technology, as they share their experiences using the API to populate their IRs and showcase their faculty’s work to the world.

Live audience Q&A will follow.

Presenters:
- Shandon Quinn, VP Product Management, Digital Commons
- Annelise Doll, Scholarly Communications and Repositories Librarian, Michigan Tech University
- Nancy Krost, Institutional Repository Coordinator, Missouri University of Science and Technology
