Credibility on Scholar Performance Evaluation Using Google Scholar and ResearchGate
Publication: Journal of Scholarly Publishing
Volume 54, Number 3
Abstract
Scholar performance evaluation plays a key role in management science and engineering. Scholar evaluation using Google Scholar and ResearchGate can serve as an indispensable scouter for evaluating scholar performance. Both tools to quantitatively evaluate scholars can be used to support evidence-based decision making in administration and human resources. However, both tools must be used together for complementing accurate scholar evaluation. This author shows examples of fatal drawbacks in Google Scholar and ResearchGate, respectively. Scopus and Publons, used as default scholar performance, are affected by publisher-bias selection of journals and conferences. The author recommends scholar performance evaluation using both tools such as Google Scholar and ResearchGate together with Scopus and Publons.
