Join us for a workshop focused on using citation databases and scholarly tools to articulate metrics that support the research impact section of the faculty dossier. We’ll demonstrate how to extract data from Web of Science and Scopus, integrate ORCID for easier tracking of research outputs, and explore the differences between these tools, Google Scholar and altmetrics.

Topics to be covered include: 

  • Understanding impact factors, h-index and altmetrics
  • Conducting author searches in Web of Science and Scopus
  • Comparing Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar
  • Exporting citation data for your records
  • Using ORCID to streamline research tracking

No prior experience with Web of Science or Scopus is required. Please note that we will not cover data entry into Interfolio. This workshop is ideal for faculty preparing for promotion, as well as assistants supporting dossier preparation.

The session will not be recorded, but slides will be shared with participants.
