Can I measure the performance and impact of a group or department?
Search Tip 1: Search for individual authors
Author name variants
There are a number of ways to get data on the number of publications and citation counts (impact) for your selected group or department. To do this as accurately as possible, you will need to know all the variations of the author’s name used in their publications. For example an author may use ‘Smith D’ in one paper and ‘Smith DA’ in another! You may need to trawl through a large list of papers to ensure you retrieve all relevant papers – time consuming but important. (See section 2.2.1. Search for my publications.)
For example, in WoS when you conduct an author search you can save selected records to a Marked List and then create a Citation Report for the entire list.
