Demonstrates how the new Fields of Research classifications
will perform in structuring the research on Aboriginal, Torres
Strait Islander, Māori and Pacific Peoples for assessment
LONDON, Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc
(NYSE: CCC), a global leader in providing trusted information and
insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, has released a
regional landscape report highlighting the current trends in
indigenous research across Australia, New
Zealand and the Pacific Region. The report looks at the
academics, affiliate institutions and regions that are contributing
largely to indigenous research and identifies which journals
publish this research. It also evaluates how the new Australian and
New Zealand Fields of Research (FoR) classifications will perform
in structuring indigenous research for assessment.
The report is based on data from the Web of Science Core
Collection™, the flagship collection in the world's largest
publisher-neutral global citation database.
Key findings of the report include:
- Just over 1% of research produced by authors in the region is
directly related to indigenous research.
- Indigenous research has a significantly lower citation impact
than global or regional baselines. Indigenous research has a
Category Normalized Citation Impact1 (CNCI) of 0.65 when
the baseline CNCI for all Australian and New Zealand research is more than twice that.
(2010 – 2019).
- New Zealand has produced a
larger number of research outputs in indigenous research than any
individual Australian state. This may be as a result of
New Zealand's larger Māori
population than the indigenous population size of Aboriginal
Australia. However, when looking at the proportion of high impact
research, New Zealand's research
on indigenous populations performs less well than the research
produced by any individual Australian state.
- The Universities of Auckland,
Sydney and Otago have produced the
largest libraries of research by volume and have received more
citations for their publications than any other organizations. With
regard to the bibliometric impact, the University of Waikato,
Griffith University, James Cook
University and Monash University have the most impactful
research.
- Under the new Australian and New Zealand Fields of Research
(FoR) classifications, the areas of indigenous research most
frequently published are Health and Wellbeing, Society and
Community and Culture Language and History.
Mukhtar Ahmed, President, Science
Group, Clarivate said: "Australia,
New Zealand and the Pacific region
covers a third of the earth's surface and is home to over 1200
languages. We are proud to provide our insights on indigenous
research on this diverse region and help the research community
better understand and measure its research and innovation efforts.
We will continue to work proactively with the research network in
this region to drive world-class research and innovation."
