The UQ Office of Research has purchased access to the bibliometric database – Essential Science Indicators.

This database can be used to benchmark research impact by measuring published output and citation rates. Both researchers and research administrators will find the Indicators of interest. It allows to benchmark individual papers, subject categories or institutions against “international average” or an institution or a group of institutions. Also, it allows to place one’s performance within percentiles of publications in the same subject category. The information available in the ESI can be used in management reports, grant applications or CVs.

The ESI is updated every two months and is available from your desktop. (http://library.uq.edu.au/record=e1001810)

Subject categories include Business, Economics, Social Sciences and more.

Thomson representatives (the publishers of ESI) will be at UQ on Thursday 15th May at 9.30 am to demonstrate Essential Science Indicators. The demonstration will be held in the Library conference room (Duhig building, level 1).
