Country-level metrics attribute research to institutional residence (not nationality) and use fractional weighting to divide multi-country papers proportionally, ensuring accurate national capability assessment without double-counting collaborations.

FACTBASE AI SUMMARY * Institution-level research metrics require special methodological considerations that differ from both author-level and country-level analysis. Overview Institution-level research metrics require special methodological considerations that differ from both country-level and author-level analysis. This guide focuses specifically on how research metrics are calculated and interpreted for universities, research institutes,

Author-level metrics use ORCID and algorithmic disambiguation to attribute publications, apply equal fractional credit regardless of author position, and are appropriate for research profiling but not individual evaluation decisions due to disambiguation limitations and career stage variations.

Overview Factbase employs a comprehensive suite of research metrics to assess capability across countries, institutions, and individual researchers. This article focuses specifically on research publication and citation metrics. Factbase also incorporates other intelligence dimensions (actors, assets, strategic indicators) which use different measurement frameworks. Understanding these metrics and how they work

AI SUMMARY * Def Overview Factbase measures research quality across multiple time periods to reveal trends, momentum, and sustained excellence. This article focuses specifically on research publication impact metrics. Factbase also incorporates other intelligence streams (actors, assets, and strategic capability indicators) which use different temporal methodologies. Understanding how we calculate and
