Arctic Research Publications: Scholarly Output Trends Using the Russian Index of Scientific Citations. A Working Paper

<p>UArctic recently collaborated with ÜberResearch to produce a report entitled “International Arctic Research: Analyzing Global Funding Trends - A Pilot Report”.The nature of the Dimensions database means that that analysis was based upon project funding data. </p><p>This working paper undertakes a preliminary analysis of how a similar approach could be used with a publications database, utilising the Russian Index of Scientific Citations (RISC) data.</p

Arctic Altmetrics: Alternative Perspectives on the Impact of Arctic Research. A Working Paper

<p>There exist a significant number of information sources, apart from the scientific literature, with which to assess the social impact (not to be confused with “societal impact”) of the findings produced by Arctic researchers and institutions. Various policy documents, online news and media publications, white papers, tweets, and Facebook posts provide additional data points to help assess the reach and potential impact of publicly funded research, including Arctic research. </p><p>In this working paper, we provide some alternative perspectives of the way one could view the impact being made by Arctic-related science.</p
