Quantifying Scientific Merit
Use of impact factor (IF) to quantify scientific merit is severely flawed. Three changes are recommended to strengthen the assessment of journals that primarily report basic research: (1) calculate IF based on original scientific contributions; (2) use the 5-year IF; and (3) eliminate selfcitation. For journals reporting clinical trials and population research, an index of readership, such as d...
متن کاملThe Citation Merit of Scientific Publications
We propose a new method to assess the merit of any set of scientific papers in a given field based on the citations they receive. Given a field and a citation impact indicator, such as the mean citation or the [Formula: see text]-index, the merit of a given set of [Formula: see text] articles is identified with the probability that a randomly drawn set of [Formula: see text] articles from a giv...
متن کاملA Quantitative Measure of Experimental Scientific Merit
Experimental program review in our field may benefit from a more quantitative framework within which to quantitatively discuss the scientific merit of a proposed program of research, and to assess the scientific merit of a particular experimental result. This article proposes explicitly such a quantitative framework. Examples of the use of this framework in assessing the scientific merit of par...
متن کاملEvaluating scientific impact.
Science rarely moves in an orderly manner. At the heart of all science is the generation and dissemination of data consistent or inconsistent with specific hypotheses, which may be either explicit or implicit. But how do we measure scientific productivity and impact? How do we define and measure success? These questions have been examined by the Committee on Science, Engineering and Public Poli...
متن کاملEvaluating Scientific Visualizations
Having nearly completed the development process for this exhibit, we have found that such scientific visualizations may benefit from different evaluative tools and practices than other computer-based interactives. This paper will describe our formative evaluation process to date. The ways in which the formative evaluation has failed are the most instructive, and the paper will look closely at w...
