Evaluating the scientific impact of XSEDE [pdf]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
We use the bibliometrics approach to evaluate the scientific impact of XSEDE. By utilizing publication data from various sources, e.g., ISI Web of Science and Microsoft Academic Graph, we calculate the impact metrics of XSEDE publications and show how they compare with non-XSEDE publication from the same field of study, or non-XSEDE peers from the same journal issue. We explain the dataset and data soruces involved and how we retrieved, cleaned, and curated millions of related publication entries. We then introduce the metrics we used for evaluation and comparison, and the methods used to calculate them. Detailed analysis results of Field Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) and the peers comparison will be presented and discussed. We also explain how the same approaches could be used to evaluate publications from a similar organization or institute, to demonstrate the general applicability of the present evaluation approach providing impact even beyond XSEDE.
