This workshop will provide an overview of metrics and tools used for investigating research outputs.

The session will demonstrate how to analyze the scientific influence of papers arising from NIH funding and will introduce OPA's new metric for publications' scientific influence, the Relative Citation Ratio (RCR) and publicly available bibliometrics tool – iCite: Influence.

We will also look at how to identify and measure progress of published basic, translational, and clinical research knowledge toward human applications. iCite: Translation is an iCite module (previously a standalone web tool called iTrans) that tracks and visualizes bench-to-bedside translation by mapping published articles along three axes: cellular/molecular research, animal research, and human research. iCite: Translation enables users to track this information through an intuitive web interface, and download article-level data.

The new citation database, the NIH Open Citation Collection (OCC), along with an interface in iCite: Open Cites will also be discussed.

You will have the opportunity to try out these tools to analyze portfolios of grants and publications.

Please note: Bring an NIH laptop with you.

Who should attend: This workshop is designed for those who have previously attended OPA iCite or iTrans training and wish to find out about the new tool iCite 2.0.
