“…On the one hand, original peer-reviewed research is published in a wider range of formats. Book publishing (monographs or articles in edited volumes) may even be more important than journal publishing in some of the disciplines (Sivertsen and Larsen 2012). On the other hand, scholars in the humanities, more often than their colleagues in the sciences, publish directly for a wider audience in the societies and cultures that they relate to in their research (Bentley and Kyvik 2011).…”

The 'Norwegian Model' attempts to comprehensively cover all the peerreviewed scholarly literatures in all areas of research-including the preferred formats and languages of scholarly publishing in the humanities-in one single weighted indicator which makes the research efforts comparable across departments and faculties within and between research institutions. This article describes the main components of the model and how it has been implemented, as well as the effects and experiences in three of the countries that are making use of the model, and where it has been evaluated: Belgium (Flanders), Denmark and Norway. The article concludes with a discussion of the model from the perspective of the humanities.

We investigate methodological problems in measuring research productivity on the national level by comparing official R&D statistics from the OECD with publication data from the Web of Science. Data from 18 countries are analysed. The paper problematizes the approach taken in studies where R&D statistics are used as an input variable and publications as an output variable to draw conclusions about the productivity or efficiency of national research and innovation systems. Our study considers possible pitfalls in such analyses and proposes steps that can improve the comparability of these two data sources. We recommend that efforts are made among the OECD member countries to produce more reliable and commensurable international R&D-statistics.

“…In Europe, there is a growing need for comprehensive regional bibliographies that cover full outputs of scholars and organizations, including all research fields, all publication types, and all languages Engels, Ossenblok, & Spruyt, 2012;Sivertsen & Larsen, 2012). In the social sciences and humanities (SSH), the two traditional bibliometric subscription databases (Web of Science and Scopus) focus on scholarly publications in English.…”

This article aims to point out emerging roles and responsibilities for academic librarians with the potential of better integrating the library in the research process. In order to find out how to enhance the online reputation and discoverability of individual faculty members as well as their affiliated institutions, the authors worked side-by-side with researchers in the United States and Europe to explore, create, revise, and disambiguate scholarly profiles in various software applications. In an attempt to understand and organize scholarly social media, including new, alternative metrics, the authors reviewed and classified the major academic profile platforms, highlighting the overlapping elements, benefits, and drawbacks inherent in each. The consensus is that it would be time-consuming to keep one's profile current and accurate on all of these platforms, given the plethora of underlying problems, also discussed in detail in the article. However, it came as a startling discovery that reluctance to engage with scholarly social Judit Ward et al. Liber Quarterly Volume 24 Issue 4 2015175 media may cause a misrepresentation of a researcher's academic achievements and may come with unforeseen consequences. The authors claim that current skills and competencies can secure an essential role for academic librarians in the research workflow by means of monitoring and navigating researcher profiles in scholarly social media in order to best represent the scholarship of their host institutions.
