Moore Library News - HSL at University of Virginia-Claude Moore Health Sciences Library

Publish or perish, right? Our publications often serve as the “currency” of health sciences researchers. Scholarship allows us to share our findings and disseminate them to a community of scholars and even the general public.

Once we’ve published, how do we determine the impact of these publications? There are indicators like the Impact Factor (meant for journals, not articles), but what else is available for individuals or departments seeking to assess the range and influence of their work?

Research and Data Services - Here for You

The Health Sciences Library’s Publication Impact Services team provides expert consultations to Health System and SON faculty, departments, and groups on measuring your scholarship. Our Research and Data Services librarians and staff have expertise on bibliometrics, citation analysis tools, and other techniques to report on and visualize your work.

Our services include expert guidance on:

citation analysis: extracting and analyzing information about the citation patterns of your publications
demonstrating impact of published works for promotion and tenure, or when applying for funding
measuring or tracking publications
maintaining an impactful online identity
communicating research impact to audiences

How Can We Help?

Individuals

Going up for promotion and tenure? Let us prepare a Citation Analysis Report of Times Cited, Impact Factors, Journal Categories, and Rank data for your citations
Strengthening a research grant application and promoting your work? – let us check your publications for “hot” and “highly cited” papers
Assessing the influence of your work in the biomedical field? Calculate the Relative Citation Ratio (NIH) for your articles

Departments
