Conventional research metrics such as journal impact factor, citation count and H-index are common ways to assess quality of research outputs. However, the use of these metrics as a standalone measure can result in misleading conclusions. 

Beamplot is a new tool that presents citation impact. It shows a richer picture of one’s publication portfolio than single-point metrics such as citation counts and h-index. This post takes 4 HKUST professors as examples to explore beamplots.

Last month we introduced 8 new SciTech books authored or edited by HKUST faculty and researchers. This post showcases the new books in humanities and social sciences.

The United Nations set 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. HKUST researchers can contribute a lot to these goals. Can you guess which SDGs our research relates to the most?

18 books were found published Nov 2020 - Aug 2021 by HKUST professors and researchers via the SPD-Institutional Repository: 8 in science and technology; 10 in humanities and social sciences.
