Research metrics provide an objective way to assess the research output of individuals, groups, departments and universities. Scientific quality is constantly evaluated in journal publications, funding decisions, academic promotions, industry investment, medical practice guidelines, standard setting, and policy decisions Peer review has long served as the cornerstone of such evaluations, but it is widely acknowledged to be imperfect and inefficient. Now Research is assessed on a number of criteria already and with the Web now providing the opportunity for the development of new tools and techniques for measuring \u2018things to do with research\u2019 the list of possible assessment criteria is growing. Metrics primarily classified as :<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Journal level metrics<\/li><li>Author level metrics<\/li><li>Article level metrics<\/li><\/ul><p>Article-Level Metrics (ALMs) are rapidly emerging as important tools to quantify how individual articles are being discussed, shared, and used.<br \/>In academic settings, performance is measured through assessment of research of individual faculty\/author . Various criteria like H-index, G-index are considered. Following is the description of metrics considered right from print based to the digital era.<u><\/u><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Impact based on citations &amp; h-index<ul><li>Web of Science<ul><li>12,000 peer reviewed journals (plus conference proceedings)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Scopus<ul><li>20,000 peer reviewed journals (plus conference proceedings, books)<\/li><li>Citation information only goes back to 1996<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Google Scholar<ul><li># of journals unknown \u2013 lots but not all \u2013 permission from publishers to index<ul><li>also other sources \u2013 conference proceedings books, repositories<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Google Scholar<\/p><ul><li>Google Scholar Citations<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Google Scholar provides citation counts for articles found within Google Scholar.

It helps to distinguish you from other researchers with the same or similar names. It can create a united profile for your research activities, regardless of whether you\u2019ve changed names, published under multiple variations of your name, or switched institutions. Several publishers, including PLoS and IEEE, now require ORCID iDs for submission. The Department of Transportation also requires ORCIDs for grant applications.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>How do I get an ORCID iD?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Register for an ORCiD ID at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/orcid.org\/\">orcid.org<\/a>. It takes less than a minute to sign up and it\u2019s free of charge<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Add your information, including things like your ResearcherID from Web of Science or your Scopus Author ID.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lib.umn.edu\/researchsupport\/orcid\/linkingaccounts\">This page will tell you how to do that<\/a>.

Unlike your Scopus ID or your Web of Science ID, ORCID isn\u2019t limited to only one database or publisher, meaning that it can be more comprehensive than any publisher-specific ID. ORCID also supports 37 types of \u201cworks,\u201d so you are not limited to just journal articles\u2013datasets, figures, patents, biological products, etc. can all be added as well.<\/li><li>Permanent. Your ORCID iD doesn\u2019t change, regardless of whether you move institutions or change your name. This means that you can also keep track of graduate students, fellows and early career researchers as they progress in their careers.<\/li><li>Partially automated. You can set up your profile to be linked to existing data sources such as Scopus to automatically import materials into your profile. And ORCID can be interconnected to other services, such as WoS, Figshare, etc. and information can be pushed back and forth between these services.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lib.umn.edu\/researchsupport\/orcid\/linkingaccounts\">This page will tell you how to connect different services<\/a>.<\/li><li>Increasingly popular among publishers who ask for it in the article submission process, and can also be integrated into NIH\u2019s SciENcv tool to create biosketches. Funding agencies like the Department of Transportation and Wellcome Trust now require that researchers have ORCID iDs.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Altmetrics<br \/>In growing numbers, scholars are moving their everyday work to the web. Online reference managers Zotero and Mendeley each claim to store over 40 million articles (making them substantially larger than PubMed); as many as a third of scholars are on Twitter, and a growing number tend scholarly blogs.<br \/>These new forms reflect and transmit scholarly impact: that dog-eared (but uncited) article that used to live on a shelf now lives in Mendeley, CiteULike, or Zotero\u2013where we can see and count it. That hallway conversation about a recent finding has moved to blogs and social networks\u2013now, we can listen in. The local genomics dataset has moved to an online repository\u2013now, we can track it. This diverse group of activities forms a composite trace of impact far richer than any available before. We call the elements of this trace altmetrics.<br \/>Altmetrics expand our view of what impact looks like, but also of what\u2019s making the impact. This matters because expressions of scholarship are becoming more diverse.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Studies have started to examine metrics, such as the number of downloads and the number of social bookmarks for an article, with the number of citations an article has received.
