Faculty: Use of Various Bibliometric Measures and Services, ISBN

As bibliometrics becomes a critical determinant in hiring and tenure
decision, this PRG report provides essential intelligence on which
bibliometric measures are the most broadly used, consulted and
respected.  The study gives a broad range of data on many different
bibliometric tools, pointing out frequency  and extent of use of Web of
Science, Scopus, Google Scholar,  CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, Lens.org,
CiteSeerX, OpenCitations, Microsoft Academic and other tools. The study
also presents data on the satisfaction level of STEM faculty with the range
of bibliometric measures and services provided by their
universities.   Data in the report is derived from 172 scholars from 72
research universities worldwide.

Just a few of the 135-page report’s many findings are that:

·       A sixth of those sampled use Web of Science monthly

·       10.37% of respondents were familiar or highly familiar with
Semantic Scholar

·       Dissatisfaction with university bibliometric services was greatest
in engineering, computer-science and math-related disciplines.

·       More than 69% of respondents have consulted Google Scholar for
bibliometric data within the past year.

Data in the reports is broken out by a broad range of institutional and
personal variables including global university ranking, enrollment size,
public/private status, tuition level and country of location of the
university of the survey respondent, as well as age, work title, tenure
status, gender and  annual teaching course load of the survey
respondent.  A roster of the institutional affiliations of the survey
participants can be downloaded for free, along with a sample from the study
and the table of contents.
