Changes in Research Driver
HASS Research Office has worked with RSO to effect some changes in the computation of NTU Research Driver. Such changes, big or small, are important because they are a reflection that the University is progressively becoming more receptive of the differences in arts, humanities and social sciences. These changes included:
- citation counts for psychology publications at HSS will be counted against ESI’s social science counts, instead of psychiatry/psychology counts;
- Book chapters will be recognised in the list of publications counting towards citation scores. LKK confirmed Google Scholars results would be accepted. Schools’ Research Offices would verify the citation counts; and
- On differentiating “Tier 1” and “regular” book chapters, RSO allows Tier 1 book chapters to be given a score of 6, as opposed to 2 points previously.
