The assessment of researchers' performance is vital in the research community, particularly in identifying influential authors through their publications. Despite the availability of various bibliometric metrics/models for evaluating researcher performance, each has limitations and field-specific sensitivities. This study introduces a novel metric, the Author Performance Indicator (AuthorPerIndic), which assesses scientists' productivity based on authorship status and journal ratings for a fair evaluation within their research domain. Validated using publication data from selected scientists at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (IASRI), New Delhi, India. The bibliographic data is sourced from an online publication repositorythe KRISHI portal, this metric is also integrated into a web tool named as KRISHI-BAAT accessible at http://biblio.icar.gov.in/. The tool operates solely on publication data of ICAR scientists, with the developed metric integrated into its performance analysis.

Abstract


The assessment of researchers' performance is vital in the research community, particularly in identifying influential authors through their publications. Despite the availability of various bibliometric metrics/models for evaluating researcher performance, each has limitations and field-specific sensitivities. This study introduces a novel metric, the Author Performance Indicator (AuthorPerIndic), which assesses scientists' productivity based on authorship status and journal ratings for a fair evaluation within their research domain. Validated using publication data from selected scientists at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (IASRI), New Delhi, India. The bibliographic data is sourced from an online publication repositorythe KRISHI portal, this metric is also integrated into a web tool named as KRISHI-BAAT accessible at http://biblio.icar.gov.in/. The tool operates solely on publication data of ICAR scientists, with the developed metric integrated into its performance analysis.
