Scientist Impact Index And Talent Discovery
The scientist impact workflow supports external talent discovery by calculating SCI-based author, institution, and country indicators in a defined research field. It helps identify influential researchers, benchmark organizations, and candidate pools for deeper review.
Recommended Workflow
- Download SCI or WoS data for a clearly defined field.
- Select the appropriate JCR dictionary or subject boundary.
- Import the data into SciMetrics.
- Check years, citations, source titles, authors, institutions, and duplicate records.
- Calculate author impact indicators.
- Calculate institution and country indicators when benchmark context is needed.
- Save Excel results and reopen them for review and visualization.
- Export evidence tables and figures for the report.
Technical Focus
The workflow depends on field boundary quality. A broad search can create noise; a narrow search can miss candidates. Keep the search strategy, JCR dictionary, cleaning rules, and time range with the exported result so the ranking can be reproduced.
How To Use The Result
Use the index to build a candidate shortlist, not as a single final decision. Combine citation impact, publication continuity, collaboration network, institutional context, recent activity, and paper-level evidence. For talent introduction, always review representative papers and the candidate's fit with the target discipline.
Delivery Checklist
- Author indicator table.
- Institution or country benchmark table.
- Candidate evidence list with representative papers.
- Notes about data source, time window, search strategy, and cleaning rules.
- Figures exported as SVG or high-resolution images when used in formal reports.
