Plots for visualizing paper impact and journal impact of single researchers in a single graph
share
In research evaluation of single researchers, the assessment of paper and journal impact is of interest. High journal impact reflects the ability of researchers to convince strict reviewers, and high paper impact reflects the usefulness of papers for future research. In many bibliometric studies, metrics for journal and paper impact are separately presented. In this paper, we introduce two graph types which combine both metrics in a single graph. The graph types are rooted in Bland-Altman plots introduced by Bland and Altman (1986). The graphs can be used in research evaluation to visualize the performance of single researchers comprehensively.
