Evaluating Research Performance using Google Scholar Data– a Study of Coverage and Applicability

Författare

  • Håkan Carlsson

Summary, in Swedish

Research performance studies based on citation data have become of interest both nationally and on the university-level as the focus on quality control has increased also in the higher education sector. Large journal-based indexes, such as Web of Science and recently Scopus, have most frequently been used for the task. These have shown to have limited coverage, especially for areas in the humanities and social sciences, where monograph publishing is predominate. In an attempt to study other sources of data, the coverage and applicability of Google Scholar has been discussed. Google Scholar covers a considerable amount of books, Ph.D. theses and reports in addition to journal articles and is a free resource on the web. This paper is research in progress and will present coverage studies of the different indexes for research areas within the University of Gothenburg and address the suitability of Google Scholar as a resource for evaluative bibliometrics.
