RESQUE Overview for multiple candidates
Applicant descriptives
Note: Academic age is computed as years since PhD, minus self-reported times for childcare etc.
Research Transparency
You can click on the arrows in each column header (
) to sort by the respective Rigor Score.
The Overall Rigor Score reflects current best practices, many of which are not yet widely adopted in the research community. As a result, even high-quality papers may receive relatively modest scores. Based on preliminary evaluation studies, the following rough benchmarks can be used to interpret the scores:
- 10-20%: Average
- 30%: Very good
- >40%: Excellent.
(Note: The Overall Rigor Score presented here is based solely on the four transparency categories, excluding other potential categories, such as Methodological Rigor. As a result, it may differ from the Overall Score in individual reports.)
🧾 Methods details
How to read the small charts
- Quantity of openness: How often did they do it?
Each small square represents one publication, where the open practice (e.g., open data) has been performed (), not performed (), or was not applicable ().
- Quality of openness: How well did they do it?
The colors of the bar below the squares are based on normative values of the Relative Rigor Score (i.e., “What quality of a practice could reasonably be expected in that field?”).
Designs & Samples
What types of samples were involved? What types of data were collected? The bars represent the number of publications with that sample and data type.
Impact
🧾 Methods details
How to interpret the indices
- # of papers in top-10% of popularity: How many papers are ranked in the top 10%, according to a popularity metric based on the AttentionRank algorithm. This captures current impact dynamics (and less so “historical” citations of old papers).
- mean FNCS: The median of field- and age-normalized citation scores: The FNCS is the factor by which a publication is cited more often than other publications from the same field and the same publication year. A value of 2, for example, indicates that the publications (on average) got cited twice as much as comparable publications. This captures cumulative impact (across all papers, and also across all years of publication activity).. The background color of the cell indicates the lower 25%, middle 50% or top 25% of the applicant field.
- Highest citation count of a single paper: The citation count (and publication year) of the single paper with the most citations.
