Scientific Achievements
In 2011 EMGO+ researchers co-authored 866 scientific publications; 849 were published in ISI indexed journals (table 1). The number of publications in total and per 10 FTE direct-funded research staff has increased for international/indexed scientific publications. It has decreased for national/non-indexed scientific publications in comparison to previous years. This decrease is partly caused by a different way of listing the national publications by CWTS. Since 2011 the national publications are listed as ‘professional publications’ and not anymore as non-indexed scientific publications. The proportion of publications in the top scientific fields was lower than in previous years (table 2).
The independent bibliometric analysis of research papers in peer-reviewed international scientific journals as conducted by the Center for Science & Technology Studies (CWTS) in Leiden in 2011 reports a 'crown indicator' of 1.72 for EMGO+'s research. This reflects that the scientific impact of EMGO+'s research is 72% above world average in the scientific fields that EMGO+ contributes to. All four research programs have a crown indicator well above 1.0. Click here for the table with an overview of the results of the EMGO+ citation analysis.
In 2011, 42 students defended their PhD theses. The total amount of € 17,5M obtained in grant money in 2011 will help us to maintain our research activities in the years to come.
