Exploring the SCOAP$^{3}$ Research Contributions of the United States

The Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (SCOAP$^{3}$) is a successful global partnership of libraries, funding agencies and research centers. This presentation will inform the audience about SCOAP$^{3}$ and also delve into descriptive statistics of the United States’ intellectual contribution to particle physics via these open access journals. Exploration of the SCOAP$^{3}$ particle physics literature using a variety of metrics tools such as Web of Science\texttrademark, InCites\texttrademark, Scopus\textregistered and SciVal will be shared. ORA or Sci2 will be used to visualize author collaboration networks.
