Program
Although in practice, the basic quality of scientific outputs (i.e. research paper and patents) is evaluated by committees/peers (peer review) who have general knowledge and competencies, their assessment might not comprehensively consider different dimensions of the quality of the scientific outputs. Hence, there is a requirement to evaluate scientific outputs based on some other metrics which cover more aspects of quality after publishing, which is the aim of this course. To reach this aim, first different quality metrics are identified through an extensive literature review on the main databases available (Scopus, Web of Science and Scifinder). Finally, based on the importance of each quality metric and the data which are collected, the quality of research papers published by the members of a university faculty is measured. The course provides the opportunity to measure quality of research papers not only by considering different aspects of quality, but also by considering the importance of each quality metric also considering the Open Science option.
