Publication metrics for the Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project grant

Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI)

My papers have a Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) of 1.57 which means they are being cited 57% more than expected for their field, age and type (SciVal, MMM YYYY).

Top percentiles

I have: 6 (2.6%) articles and reviews in the top 1% most cited publications worldwide (field-weighted); 18 (7.9%) articles and reviews in the top 5% most cited publications worldwide (field-weighted); 34 (14.8%) articles and reviews in the top 10% most cited publications worldwide (field-weighted) (SciVal, MMM YYYY).

Q1 journals

32 (56.7%) of my publications were published in journals ranked in the top quartile for their subject area (SciVal, MMM YYYY).

International collaboration

11 (60%) of my publications involve international collaboration (SciVal, MMM YYYY).

Industry collaboration

2 (5%) of my publications involve academic - corporate collaboration with Boeing and Airbus (SciVal, MMM YYYY).

A note about not including the running year - do not include 2024 publications in any citation based metrics (ie Citations, Citations per document, Field-Weighted Citation Impact, % documents in top 1% or 10%) as they are variable over time (eg. as a general rule, it takes 3 years post publication for citations to peak on a publication depending on discipline) and therefore should not be considered a stable baseline for future assessment.

Find metrics relating to your top performing papers and collaboration in SciVal. SciVal metrics are based on your authored publications in Scopus.

16. Click Export to export the data to a CSV or XLSX file. 

Useful indicators 

• the average Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) for your publications (note: interpret with care when <20 publications) 
• Outputs in Top Citation Percentiles (field-weighted) 
  • This will tell you how many publications you have in the top 1%, 5%, 10% (with respect to documents of the same discipline, type and age)
