My Scopus ID: 7403176001

Posted on by

SciVerse Scopus also maintains profile for researcher. Unlike ResearcherID, the publication list and citation metrics are all generated by their system. If there is any error or author misidentification, one has to contact their technical support. Relative to the Web of Knowledge and Web of Science, SciVerse Scopus has a wider coverage of journals and hence is able to capture more citation data.

In fact, Scopus was chosen in 2009 by Australian Research Council (ARC) as the sole citation provider for its Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative (click here). In 2011, the four UK Higher Education Funding Bodies (representing England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) will use Elsevier’s SciVerse Scopus database as the sole bibliometric provider for the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (click here).

My publication list and citation metrics listed by SciVerse Scopus can be accessed here.

My Researcher ID: C-6528-2011

Posted on by

ResearcherID is a website where invited researchers can register for a unique researcher ID number. Registered as well as non-registered users can search the ResearcherID Registry to view profiles and find potential collaborators.

ResearcherID helps you to build your own custom profile and avoid the common problem of author misidentification. Once registered, you will be provided with the tools to build your publication list by searching Web of Knowledge and Web of Science, or by uploading your own publication list. You will then be able to generate citation metrics from the citation data on your publication list (for more benefits, click here).

My publications in journals indexed by ISI/WoS are listed in ResearcherID No. C-6528-2011 (click here). You can also access my citation metrics.

Taking “Research News” Private

Posted on by

This site was the official blog of Kian-Ping Lim when he served as the Deputy Dean (Research & Innovation) at the Labuan School of International Business and Finance (LSIBF), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). During his term, the blog reported research activities and publications by staffs and graduate students at his school. Apart from that,  research news and useful resources around the world such as conferences, workshops, dataset, writing tips, were disseminated to the LSIBF community via this blog. Occasionally, KP also covered issues related to the Malaysian higher eduction, which he categorized under ‘KP Opinion’ (i.e., the views expressed were his personal opinion).

When his 2-year term finished at the end of 2011, KP continues to maintain the blog as research is always his passion. However, the readers are no longer limited to the LSIBF community. To better reflect the scope of his postings, the blog is renamed from “Research News: From and For LSIBF” to “Research News: From KP”.

Academic Finance as a Career: by Don Chance

Posted on by

In my earlier post on “What’s the Fuss about KPI?” (click here), I speculated that those who made a big fuss about KPI is because they have been misinformed about academic life.

For those who are considering a career in academia, I strongly recommend this essay “Academic Finance as a Career: The Good, the Bad, and the Not-so-Pretty” written by Don Chance. Even though the discussion is on finance, the information provided is relevant to other disciplines as well.
