The Metrics Toolkit can help you understand each research metric across disciplines, including:
- how the metric is calculated
- where to find it
- whether it's appropriate for you
Look up specific metrics under Explore Metrics.
Metrics commonly used at UNSW
- Source normalized impact per paper (SNIP) - a measure using data from Scopus, whereby citations are weighted, depending on citation potential of subject area
- CiteScore - a metric product from Elsevier, using citation data from the Scopus database to rank and track journal performance
- Field weighted citation impact (FWCI) / Field normalized citation impact (FNCI) - how the number of citations received by a researcher's publications compares with the average number of citations received by all other similar publications
- H-index - a measure of the number of publications published (productivity) as well as how often they are cited
