1. The scientific production of NOVA: evolvement and prospects Update of the bibliometric study of NOVA June 29th, 2012

2. Bibliometric analysis Main objectives:  Assess the impact of NOVA publications (articles, letters, reviews) in journals indexed to WoS and compare with the results of the previous studies (2000-06 & 2002-08)  Identify areas of excellence, strengths, and weaknesses  Benchmark NOVA with other Portuguese and European Universities  Map collaborative research and design instruments for research management

5. Production and normalized impact CPP/FCSm, Field Normalized Citation Impact - this indicator compares the average number of citations excluding self-citations (CPP) obtained by a research unit to the international reference value (FCSm, the mean field(s) citation score). It is a normalized indicator that corrects for differences in “citation habits” among scientific areas MNCS, Mean Normalized Citation Score – New indicator that replaced CPP/FCSm in 2010. It is also a normalized indicator, but the calculation method is different If CPP/FCSm or MNCS values are between 0.8-1.2 the impact is similar to the international average. A value >1.2 means that the impact is above average * percentages are relative to 2000-2006 Publication periodProductionImpact CPP/FCSm Impact MNCS 2000-200633500.870.95 2002-20083995 (+19%)*0.95 (+9%)*1.0 (+5%)* 2004-20104671 (+39%)*0.98 (+13%)*1.02 (+7%)*

6. Evolution of impact The impact of NOVA publications has been increasing and reached 1.05 in 2007-2010

11. The number of publications increased 39% from 3350 in 2000-2006 to 4671 in 2004-2010 The field normalized citation impact of NOVA, CPP/FCSm, increased 13% from 0.87 in 2000-2006 to 0.98 in 2004-2010. The Mean Normalized Citation Score, MNCS, increased from 0.95 to 1.02 The number of highly cited papers has been increasing consistently The impact is above international average (>1.2) for 8 subfields: Applied Physics; Material Sci Ceramics; Chemical Eng; Food Sci & Technol; Plant Sci; Physical Chemistry; Elect & Electr Eng; Multidisc Chem The impact of ITQB/IBET is clearly above world average (1.1) The impact of FCT, Nova SBE, IHMT, FCM and ISEGI is close to average (≥ 0.9) FCSH has a significant increase in impact when comparing with 2000-2006 but the indicators are still based on a relatively low number of publicationsConclusionsConclusions
