During 2011 the Library created a set of bibliometric tools to support the credible evaluation of research impact. These can be found here. Many staff have used the tools to add supporting detail to the descriptions of their Nominated Research Outputs and they make the task of tracking down citations of work quick and relatively simple. Staff who have used these tools in the past will note that "quick" versions have now been added to the list, which means that all potential sources of citations can be searched with a single click.

The bibliometric tools search the following sources -

- Web of Science
- Scopus
- Google Scholar
- Google Books

Many staff have found Google Scholar a fruitful source of citations and other metrics but should be aware that these data may lack credibility and should be replaced or supplemented by bibliometric counts from the formal databases whenever possible. LIBRARY STAFF ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST WITH LOCATION AND INTERPRETATION OF BIBLIOMETRIC EVIDENCE - email libcol@massey.ac.nz

Library staff will also be participating in the Engagement Sessions taking place in February and March - click here for details.

Turitea academic staff - to assist with the compilation of your Evidence Portfolios the Library has developed a set of bibliometric tools. These can be used to create a surprisingly detailed picture of the progress of a piece of academic work after it has been published.

If you have not attended one of the earlier sessions which gave an overview of these, or if you have used the profiling tools but would like further help, then the Turitea Library will be running a number of follow-up sessions. Please note that the first 30 minutes of each session consists of a presentation. After this staff will be available to assist you with the profiling tools - you can stay on after the session, or drop in any time after the first 30 minutes at a time that suits you. Bookings are not required.

When:
Tues 20th Sept 2 - 4 p.m.
Thurs 22nd Sept 9.30 – 11.30 a.m.
Tues 27th Sept 9.30 – 11.30 a.m.
Wed 28th Sept 2 - 4 p.m.

Where: Training Room 1, Level 2, Turitea Library.

Please bring the correct details of any publications you wish to work on.

If you have any questions about the sessions please email libcol@massey.ac.nz

Albany College Liaison Librarians are providing support to academic staff in compiling their PBRF Evidence Portfolios with the use of bibliometric tools.

If you have not attended one of the earlier sessions which gave an overview of these, or if you have used the profiling tools but would like further help...

Please drop by anytime between 12.00 – 3.00pm on Wednesday 7th September in Albany Library Training Room on Level 3 of the Library.

Please bring with you the details of the publications you would like to gather evidence on. We look forward to seeing you.

The 1 October deadline for draft Evidence Portfolios is drawing closer.

Over recent months some staff have attended the PBRF clinics and open days hosted by Research Management Services. These have included a set of bibliometric profiling tools developed by the Library which can help track the progress of published academic work and inform your Evidence Portfolio.

If you weren't able to make one of these sessions or need assistance using the bibliometric tools the Wellington Library staff are offering a follow-up opportunity over the next few weeks. This could take the form of either a one on one consultation session to work through your portfolio, or if you'd rather, a department/group session on the profiling tools and evidence gathering.

Please don't hesitate to email or calll to organize a suitable time to work through these bibliometric tools.
