Search Results Scholars (Research Insight)

The Scholars tab lists up to 200 of the highest scoring scholars.  The scholar list can be filtered by discipline by clicking the filter button: . Clicking on either blue text field opens the Scholar Relevance window.  Clicking elsewhere within the entry opens a detailed profile for the scholar. A bold scholar entry denotes that the scholar is present in the Academic Analytics Peer Analysis/Benchmarking tool, while non-bold indicates the scholar is not present in the Peer Analysis/Benchmarking tool.

The following information is shown for each scholar in the results set:

• Current institution
• Faculty name and primary affiliation 
• Number of collaborators on works related to the search 
• Number of works related to the search 
  
• Year of terminal degree
• Recent Citations Index *
• Number of collaborative instances
  
• Number of articles
  
• Number of awards
• Number of books
• Number of book chapters
• Number of citations
• Number of conference proceedings
• Number of grants
• Total grant dollars
• Number of patents
• Number of clinical trials

* The Recent Citations Index, or RC-Index, is a metric which allows comparison of citation activity across disciplines and academic ranks. More specifically, this is composed by first calculating the H-Index over the last 7 years of publications, and then normalizing this value relative to discipline and academic rank averages (e.g. Professors of Physics, Assistant Professors of Geology). When a scholar has multiple discipline affiliations (and perhaps multiple ranks), the average index for all such combinations is used as their RC-Index. Scholars with no known discipline affiliations or without a standard academic rank will not have an RC-Index.
