The ScholarGPS Ranking is a comprehensive analytical platform that evaluates and classifies research activity worldwide, collecting data from more than 200 million publications. The platform gathers information on authors, citations, scientific articles, books, book chapters, patents and conference papers, thus providing a detailed picture of the state of research worldwide.
Main functionalities of ScholarGPS:
- Researchers’ profiles: The platform provides access to profiles of more than 30 million researchers from various fields and institutions, enabling the assessment of their research achievements.
- Institutional ranking: ScholarGPS analyses and classifies more than 120,000 research institutions and universities worldwide, providing data useful for assessing the quality and impact of their activities.
- Field and discipline rankings: The platform provides detailed analyses for 14 scientific fields, 177 disciplines and more than 350,000 specialities, enabling precise determination of the position of a researcher or institution within a given field.
Rankings may be created based on a researcher’s entire body of work or only on publications from the last five years, with self-citations included or excluded.
ScholarGPS assessment methodology:
- Quality: Measured using the h-index, which takes into account both the number of publications and the number of citations received by these publications, serving as an indicator of the research quality.
- Productivity: Determined based on the number of published scientific works.
- Impact: Measured by the number of citations received by a researcher’s publications, reflecting the extent to which their work has been used and influenced the development of a given field.
- ScholarGPS Rank: An indicator calculated based on a combination of metrics assessing productivity, impact and quality of research achievements, using standardised data.
