ORCID iD
Recognizing the importance of research visibility
and discoverability, author disambiguation and an increase in funder
and publisher requirements for ORCID iDs, the NWU became an ORCID member
institution making it possible to integrate existing NWU systems with
the ORCID registry.
and discoverability, author disambiguation and an increase in funder
and publisher requirements for ORCID iDs, the NWU became an ORCID member
institution making it possible to integrate existing NWU systems with
the ORCID registry.
Step 1: Register for an ORCID iD
Follow this link to visit the NWU Manuscript system
to create a new ORCID iD. This system can also be used to link an
existing ORCID iD. If you are unsure whether you already have an ORCID
iD, search the ORCID registry on their website for your name.
Click here for a step by step guide through the registration and linking process.
Step 2: Add your info
- Add personal information
- Update privacy settings
- Add outputs
- Add grants
- Keep the ORCID record updated
Include your ORCID iD wherever possible. Include it during submission
of outputs, grant applications or during any other research,
scholarship and innovation activities. You can also include it in your
CV, personal websites you might have, social media platforms and even as
part of your email signature.
For more info regarding your ORCID iD go to our website.
Bibliometrics
Bibliometrics using Google Scholar Citations (including H-index)
First you need to create a Google Scholar Citation profile. It's free, quick and easy
Google Scholar Citations provide a simple way for authors to keep track
of citations to their articles. You can check who is citing your
publications, graph citations over time, and compute several citation
metrics. You can also make your profile public, so that it may appear in
Google Scholar results when people search for your name. In addition to
citations to one's work, Google Scholar calculates metrics such as the
h-index, the total numbers of citations to an author.
Definitions
Bibliometric analysis use data on numbers and authors of scientific publications and on articles and the citations therein (and in patents) to measure the “output” of individuals/research teams, institutions, and countries, to identify national and international networks, and to map the development of new (multi-disciplinary) fields of science and technology. |
Altmetrics are new measurements for the impact of scholarly content,
based on how far and wide it travels through the social Web (like
Twitter), social bookmarking (e.g. CiteULike) and collaboration tools
(such as Mendeley) … What altmetrics hope to do is provide an
alternative measure of impact, distinct from the Journal Impact Factor,
which has been categorically misused and is unable to respond to the
digital environment that scholarship takes place in today
H-Index
The index is based on the distribution of citations received by a given researcher's publications. Hirsch writes:
- A scientist has index h if h of his/her Np papers have at least h citations each, and the other (Np − h) papers have no more than h citations each.
organize articles in descending order, based on the number of times they
have been cited e.g.
An author has 8 papers that have been cited 33, 30, 20, 15, 7, 6, 5 and 4 times. This tells us that the author's h-index is 6.
- An h-index of 6 means that this author has published at least 6 papers that have each received at least 6 citations.
More context:
- The first paper has been cited 33 times, and gives us a 1 (there is one paper that has been cited at least once).
- The second paper has been cited 30 times, and gives us a 2 (there are two papers that have been cited at least twice).
- The third paper gives us a 3 and all the way up to 6 with the sixth highest paper.
- The final two papers have no effect
in this case as they have been cited less than six times (Ireland,
MacDonald & Stirling, 2013).
