Bibliometrics and Scholarly Identity Services

LSU Libraries’ bibliometric and scholarly identity services aim to improve the accuracy of LSU researchers’ academic identities, provide publication and citation analytics on individual and departmental levels, and analyze the impact of the publications produced by LSU researchers.

Bibliometrics

We can:

• Provide information on the responsible use of metrics;
• Find and help researchers interpret journal metrics and rankings;
• Help researchers locate various author-level metrics and help them select appropriate metrics to demonstrate their impact. 
• Recommend post-publication strategies to improve the visibility of your scholarship.

Scholarly Identity

Building and improving the accuracy of a researcher’s scholarly identity is an important step in increasing a researcher’s impact. We can assist with citation management and academic identities in several ways:

• ORCiD: A complete and accurate ORCiD record facilitates grant writing and disambiguates one researcher from another. LSU Libraries can connect researcher ORCiDs to article databases and import records for faculty.
• Web of Science: The Libraries can ensure that LSU researchers’ profiles in Web of Science are accurate and that researchers’ H-indexes and citations accurately reflect their scholarly work.
• Google Scholar: The Libraries can audit public Google Scholar profiles for accuracy and assist with remediation. 
• NCBI: The Libraries can help you populate your NCBI bibliography and connect it to your ORCiD profile
• Scopus: The Libraries can connect a researcher’s ORCiD profile to their Scopus author profile.
• Author profile audit service: The Libraries can review the author profiles of LSU and AgCenter faculty.
