IMPORTANT: Before ordering an analysis or certification of achievements, UML employees are obliged to check the completeness of their achievements in Bibliography UMLub and delivering missing publications to the Department of Scientific Information and Library Didactics.
ATTENTION: UML employees to every publications should submit a Statement authorizing the entity to demonstrate the employee’s scientific achievements for the purposes of evaluating the quality of scientific activity.

Analyses and certification of scientific achievements performed are nbased on the list of publications from the database Bibliography UMLub.
Publications are scored based on the guidelines of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
Citation analysis is performed based on the following databases: Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus.
Bibliometric indicators are checked in the following databases: Journal Citation Reports, Web of Science Core Collection.

Slots
Publication Slot (for an author) is the sum of that person's individual shares in various publications, giving the number 1.
For publications, the so-called individual share of each author is calculated. When a person is the sole author of a publication (scientific article/monograph/conference material), their unit share is equal to 1. In the case of multi-author publications, the value of the unit share is less than 1.
For each unit share (filling of a part of a slot) its point value is determined. Unit shares and point values are calculated for publications whose authors are employees in research positions, research-teaching positions, teaching positions conducting scientific activities and doctoral students from the UML Doctoral School.
For multi-author publications the point value that publications and author slots receive depends on the number of people who submitted statements in a given discipline, the number of all authors of a given publication and the number of points assigned to a given journal.
A detailed description of how points and slots are calculated can be found in Help.
IN counting table you can check what number of points/slots the author of a given publication will receive.
h-index (Hirsch Index)
The Hirsch index measures scientific achievements taking into account the number of publications and the number of citations. The h-index is the number of scientific publications that have received a number of citations equal to or greater than h. For example, if among the author's publications there are 10 works, each of which has been cited at least 10 times, then the author's h-index = 10. It is therefore created by arranging publications according to the number of citations and choosing the item for which the number of citations is greater than or equal to the ordinal number.
You can check the Hirsch index in the following databases:
Citation Analysis
The number of citations is calculated for a single article, as well as for the achievements of a scientist, and also for the achievements of an entire scientific unit. Citation analysis is a study of the impact and, in principle, quality of a publication, author, institution based on the number of times the work and/or author have been cited by others.
The source of information useful for preparing a citation analysis are databases Scopus and Web of Science.
Instructions:
Impact Factor (IF)
The so-called "impact factor" indicates the citation rate of a journal, calculated based on data from Web of Science. It means the ratio of the number of citations in a given year of articles from the two previous years to the sum of articles published in this journal during these two years. Determined according to the formula:
IF = B/C, Where:
B – number of citations that occurred in a given year (all publications that appeared in a given journal in the last two years)
C – number of citable publications that have appeared in a given journal in the last two years.
Journals with calculated IF are published every year in Journal Citation Reports (JCR).
The Journal Citation Report is available to UM employees and students on the university network and remotely after logging in.
CiteScore
Citation rate calculated based on data from the database Scopus. CiteScore is calculated based on citations and publications from a 4-year period. CiteScore for a given year is calculated by dividing the number of citations to a publication from the last four years (including the year for which it is calculated) by the number of those publications. CiteScore is not a normalized indicator, so it should only be used to compare journals within a single discipline.
Bibliometric tools
InCites and SciVal are tools for bibliometric analyses of data from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. They allow, among other things, comparing the scientific and research achievements of scientists, institutions and countries, tracking trends in the world of science, and supporting publishing and administrative decisions.
