Crude oil is low value compared to its distilled products

What does this all mean for research managers and researchers?

How is Big Data Related to a Eat-All-You-Can Buffet?

How much of the literature do you read?

1. Van Noorden, R., Scientists may be reaching a peak in reading habits. Nature News, 2016. 2. Ulrichsweb (March 2016) 3. Web of Science

250 70,000 3 million Papers read per researcher annually[1] Active peer-reviewed journals [2] Articles published in 2017[3]

You can’t read them all! Need to be selective.

7

80% of impact comes from just 20% of the population

80% of citations comes from 20% of journals OR 80% of papers are published in 20% of journals

8

In the era of Big Data, 80/20 rule becomes ever MORE important Be selective, choose the 20% that matters

9

WHERE you publish is the most important factor to determine if your paper gets cited

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-017-08404-0

“For the literature as a whole — 39 million research papers across all disciplines recorded in the Web of Science from 1900 to the end of 2015 — some 21% haven’t yet been cited. Unsurprisingly, most of these uncited papers appear in little- known journals; almost all papers in well-known journals do get cited”

How does Clarivate Analytics help you in using Big Data in research?

14

Clarivate = Big Data

Information≠ Knowledge ≠Understanding

• Humans can’t work with Big Data directly. To

realize the value of all this data, we need to reduce it to human proportions.

• In Clarivate Analytics, we call this “making Big

Data look like Little Data.”
