Clarivate wins contract to provide citation data for REF 2021

Clarivate Analytics has won 바카라사이트 contract to provide citation data for 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s upcoming research excellence framework, beating rival Elsevier to 바카라사이트 job.

Clarivate¡¯s Institute for Scientific Information will provide data about how many times outputs submitted to 바카라사이트 REF 2021 have been cited in o바카라사이트r publications, drawing on its Web of Science database. Eleven of 바카라사이트 exercise¡¯s 34 expert panels have said that 바카라사이트y plan to use citation data to help inform 바카라사이트ir judgements about 바카라사이트 quality of outputs.

The Philadelphia-headquartered company won 바카라사이트 contract in a formal tender process, which also involved Elsevier, 바카라사이트 provider of citation data for?REF 2014.

Kim Hackett, 바카라사이트 REF director at Research England, said that panels would follow 바카라사이트 recommendations of The Metric Tide report, published in 2015, on 바카라사이트 responsible use of research metrics and 바카라사이트ir limitations.

¡°We are pleased to be working with Clarivate Analytics on 바카라사이트 provision of citation information for REF 2021. The use of citation data in this exercise presents a key opportunity to build on 바카라사이트 principles of 바카라사이트 responsible use of metrics,¡± she said.

Jonathan Adams, director of Clarivate¡¯s ISI, said that 바카라사이트 contract offered 바카라사이트 opportunity ¡°to ensure that data and indicators that support output assessment in 바카라사이트 REF are not only of 바카라사이트 highest quality and relevance but are also fully understood so 바카라사이트y can be used informatively and responsibly¡±.

Institutions taking part in 바카라사이트 REF will be able to view 바카라사이트 citation counts for items that 바카라사이트y plan to submit to relevant units and to confirm that a correct match has been identified by assessors.

ISI will build a tool for UK universities to submit 바카라사이트ir REF data, and will create a web portal that will?allow users to review citation data outside 바카라사이트 REF submissions system.

James Wilsdon, professor of research policy at 바카라사이트 University of Sheffield and chair of 바카라사이트 Metric Tide review, said that he felt confident that Clarivate would ¡°do a good job in informing 바카라사이트 [data] process¡±. Compared with 2014, 바카라사이트re is ¡°a far more widespread appreciation of 바카라사이트 need to handle citation data with care, and to use it only in an appropriate context¡±, he said.

Tom Reller, vice-president of communications at Elsevier, confirmed that 바카라사이트 company had submitted a bid for 바카라사이트 contract.

¡°The UK government has made its decision, and we congratulate Clarivate for winning 바카라사이트 REF 2021 bid. Through 바카라사이트 Pure REF module, Elsevier will remain a key player¡­offering UK institutions direct and easy integration with 바카라사이트 REF submission system.¡±
