In this webinar, recent innovations in journal metrics will be examined from the viewpoint of an organisation that produces such metrics, and from the perspective of the end user. Chris James will provide an overview of CiteScore metrics, a new standard which aims to provide a comprehensive view of a journal's impact. He will discuss Elsevier's reasons for introducing this tool, differentiate it from existing metrics, and will talk about its uses, applications, and pitfalls. Chris will also share his two golden rules for using research metrics. Ludo Waltman will discuss CiteScore from a bibliometric perspective, highlighting the pros and cons of the new metric. Ludo will also address end-user considerations for CiteScore and more broadly for journal metrics in general.
