Web of Science and Scopus Metrics for Researchers (9th May)
This session will demonstrate some of the basic tools in Web of Science and Scopus that can help answer simple questions about research outputs and areas, such as: How much has my work been cited? How many countries are citing my work? Who is funding research in my topic? (All researchers)

Library Researcher Training Pathways
SciVal publication metrics consultations
The library offers a consultation service for researchers advising on use of bibliometrics, including SciVal, to showcase areas of research power or in support of strategic priorities, in accordance with the principles of Responsible Metrics. We can provide regular and custom statistics and reports for your school or research group (example reports and infographics).
We also regularly run two workshops on SciVal through our training pathways.
