Extension of the BiDO Ontology to Represent Scientific Production

The SPAR Ontology Network is a suite of complementary ontology modules to describe the scholarly publishing domain. BiDO Standard Bibliometric Measures is part of its set of ontologies. It allows describing of numerical and categorical bibliometric data such as h-index, author citation count, journal impact factor. These measures may be used to evaluate scientific production of researchers. However, they are not enough. In a previous study, we determined the lack of some terms to provide a more complete representation of scientific production. Hence, we have built an extension using the NeOn Methodology to restructure the BiDO ontology. With this extension, it is possible to represent and measure the number of documents from research, the number of citations from a paper and the number of publications in high impact journals according to its area and discipline.
