The authors sought to determine whether unexpected gaps existed in Scopus's author affiliation indexing of publications written by the University of Nebraska Medical Center or Nebraska Medicine (UNMC/NM) authors during 2014.
First, we compared Scopus affiliation identifier search results to PubMed affiliation keyword search results. Then, we searched Scopus using affiliation keywords (UNMC, etc.) and compared the results to PubMed affiliation keyword and Scopus affiliation identifier searches.
We found that Scopus's records for approximately 7% of UNMC/NM authors' publications lacked appropriate UNMC/NM author affiliation identifiers, and many journals' publishers were supplying incomplete author affiliation information to PubMed.
Institutions relying on Scopus to track their impact should determine whether Scopus's affiliation identifiers will, in fact, identify all articles published by their authors and investigators.
作者试图确定2014年期间内布拉斯加大学医学中心或内布拉斯加医学中心(UNMC/NM)的作者所撰写的出版物在Scopus的作者机构索引中是否存在意外遗漏。
首先,我们将Scopus机构标识符搜索结果与PubMed机构关键词搜索结果进行比较。然后,我们使用机构关键词(如UNMC等)在Scopus中进行搜索,并将结果与PubMed机构关键词和Scopus机构标识符搜索结果进行比较。
我们发现,Scopus中约7%的UNMC/NM作者出版物记录缺少适当的UNMC/NM作者机构标识符,而且许多期刊的出版商向PubMed提供的作者机构信息不完整。
依赖Scopus来跟踪其影响力的机构应确定Scopus的机构标识符是否真的能识别其作者和研究人员发表的所有文章。
