When is the last time you looked at your author profile in Web of Science or Scopus? Both of them operate algorithms that generate author profiles based on data linked to articles in the databases. And the profiles are only as good as the most recent update.

So you may want to take a look at just how you are represented in the databases and, if necessary, place a request for revisions.
To get started, you need to create a personal account with the database in question. If you already have an account, you are ready to go.

Web of Science
Once you are signed in, select search by RESEARCHERS and look up you name to check if your profile has been generated algorithmically.

If this is case, you can now claim your record to be able to edit it. You can add information to your Web of Science Researcher profiles, including information about review and editorial work.
On the Web of Science Help website, you will find more information about Researcher Profiles and how to engage with your own profile.
 

Scopus
Once you are logged in, search by AUTHORS and look up your name. If you wish to make corrections to your publication list or organizational affiliation, you cannot do that yourself but need to put in a request.

You will find a lot more information about Author Profiles on the Scopus Support Center website.

The Academic Journal Guide (AJG) is published every three years, and a fully updated 2021 edition of the guide is now available. The purpose of the AJG is to assist business and management researchers make informed decisions about the (journal) outlets they may wish to publish in.

The AJG is based on a combination of journal metrics, citation indicators, and expert reviews. The full methodology is available right here. From CBS, Adam Lindgreen is a member of the Scientific Committee for Marketing.

What is new in AJG 2021?
You will find a total of 1703 journals in the 2021 edition of the AJG. 163 new journals have found their way to the guide. 57 journals from the AJG 2018 guide have changed levels. Of these, 48 have been promoted to a higher level.

Number of journals in the AJG 

How to access the guide? 
In order to get access to the full guide you need to register with the Chartered Association of Business Schools. The full guide includes subject fields, journal profile links to Scopus and Web of Science, journal metrics, and former AJG levels. The guide is available via the Chartered Association of Business Schools website. A spreadsheet version with AJG 2021 journal titles, subject fields, and AJG levels is also available from CBSshare 
In addition to being a guide for researchers, the AJG is used as a performance measure at CBS. The new AJG 2021 will form the basis of future AJG article counts.

Research impact, research performance, research quality – or whatever you call it, is at the top of everybody’s agenda.
Join our introduction to SciVal, a new tool that makes it possible for us to analyze how CBS research publications (journal articles) perform, compared to other universities and business schools. We do this by primarily looking at citation patterns and citation numbers, but also by analyzing other indicators.
Example of SciVal comparison chart:

What does this figure tell us?
Apparently, in 2012, CBS had a lower Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) than INSEAD and London Business School – but in 2015 and 2017, CBS had the highest FWCI of the three?
Is that a good thing, is it bad or is it just about acceptable? And what exactly is a FWCI? Curious?

Register for a SCIVAL INTRODUCTION on Thursday 13 Dec 2018 9.30-10.30 in SP1.03

What is SciVal?
In their own words: “SciVal offers quick, easy access to research performance of more than 10,400 research institutions and their associated researchers from 230 nations worldwide”.
SciVal is based on Scopus data and while Scopus is ideal for analyzing the citation performance of individual articles and researchers, SciVal is an analytical tool that allows for easy analysis of research performance (citations) for aggregated levels of publication sets and for groups of authors (departments, research groups etc.). 
SciVal comprises separate modules for benchmarking against other institutions or groups of authors and collaboration analysis (co-authorship) etc.

Access to Scival
All CBS researchers and staff have access to SciVal. Simply sign in with your CBS credentials. If you already have an account with Scopus or any other Elsevier product, you do not need to register again. On-campus access only.

NB. Important!
SciVal is mostly relevant for departments, research groups, and research topics dominated, either totally, or at least substantially, by journal publication. If your discipline is dominated by scientific publication channels other than journal articles, then SciVal is not very useful for you.

An updated version of the ABS journal quality list is now available from http://www.bizschooljournals.com/.
(NB! personal registration is mandatory, does not allow for printing/downloading - only on-screen reading).

The new list is much larger, as it contains 1401 journals, against 823 in ABS 2010. The list still applies a 5-category classification system, or ranking, of the journals. In the 2012-2014 Development Contract CBS has been concerned with the top 2 categories, level 4 and 4*, 94 journals in total, as priority publication targets. The number of articles in level 4 and 4* has increased to 118 – 32 new journals have been added, 8 journals have been downgraded to category 3.

Among the new category 4/4* journals are titles such as Journal of World Business,  Business History Review, and International Journal of Operations Management, and Public Administration - An International Quarterly.

And among those that are no any longer categorized as 4/4* are Business History and Harvard Business Review.
For the 2015-2017 Development Contract DIR/IL has decided that our goal for this performance indicator should be to ’maintain the level’ of published articles, defined as the average number of articles published in 2012-2014 in the same journals, which amounts to 56 articles yearly.

A file with all ABS-2015 (4,4*) journals (and also all ABS-2010 (4,4*), FT45 and UTD journals) are available on CBS Share.

Open Access is the guarantor that publicly funded research, including their findings, is made available to not only the general public but also to organizations and private companies. What is more, many studies show that Open Access generates more citations and downloads for individual research papers.

Below you will find four examples of CBS papers published in Open Access journals in the first few months of 2017:

• If the Indicator Game is the Answer, Then What is the Question? / Irwin, Alan. In: Engaging Science, Technology, and Society, Vol. 3, 2017, p. 64-72.
• What is Critique?: Critical Turns in the Age of Criticism. / Raffnsøe, Sverre. In: Outlines, Vol. 18, No. 1, 2017, p. 28-60.
• Values, Norms, and Peer Effects on Weight Status. / Nie, Peng; Gwozdz, Wencke; Reisch, Lucia A.; Sousa-Poza, Alfonso. In: Journal of Obesity, 28.02.2017.
• Dynamics of Overlapping Clusters : Industrial and Institutional Revolution in the Industrial District of Aachen, 1800‐1860. / Reckendrees, Alfred. In: Revista de Historia Industrial, Vol. 26, No. 66, 2017, p. 37-75.

The annual registration of CBS research has now been completed and here are some of the main points.

2016 saw a total of 1721 CBS research contributions, a small drop from the 1766 produced in 2015.

The 2016 output includes 144 monographs, 498 peer-reviewed journal articles, as well as 387 peer-reviewed conference contributions. The complete catalogue of 2016 statistics is published in Research Statistics / Publications 2016 available from the Annual Statistics tab on CBSshare, which is also where you will find historical research statistics starting in 1999.
