Launch of the Bibliometric Indicators for Publishers project

[Nicolás Robinson]

Dear colleagues,

We would like to share with you our latest project regarding the research
evaluation of books and book chapters based on the Thomson Book Citation
Index: Bibliometric Indicators for Publishers

*http://bipublishers.es <http://bipublishers.es>*

The goal of this project is to study and analyze the publication and
citation patterns of books and book chapters considering academic
publishers as the unit of analysis. It aims at developing new methodologies
and indicators that can better capture and define the research impact of
publishers.

It is an on-going project in which data sources and indicators are tested.
We consider academic publishers as an analogy of journals, focusing on them
as the unit of analysis. The information displayed in this website should
not be used for research evaluation purposes and it may change without
further notice.

It offers tables of indicators by publisher for 4 broad fields and 38
disciplines. This allows the reader to have a general overview of the
bibliometric performance of a given publisher but also visualize which are
the disciplines in which it is mainly focused. It shows six bibliometric
indicators for each publisher by field and discipline for the 2009-2013
time period.
