Academic Promotion \ Awards
Evaluation of a researcher's academic publications is a tool used in the process of academic advancement. The evaluation is supported by a system of counting and measuring which is able to produce a ranking of an academic paper and of the journals in which it was published. The information needed is drawn from the WOS and JCR databases. A similar service is given for the granting of awards on the basis of academic achievement.
