The UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) — together with the growing movementtoward making the full-texts of research articles freely available on the web — offer a unique opportunity to test and validatea wealth of old and new scientometric predictors, through multiple regression analysis: Publications, journal impact factors,citations, co-citations, citation chronometrics (age, growth, latency to peak, decay rate), hub/authority scores, h-index,prior funding, student counts, co-authorship scores, endogamy/exogamy, textual proximity, download/co-downloads and theirchronometrics, etc. can all be tested and validated jointly, discipline by discipline, against their RAE panel rankings inthe forthcoming parallel panel-based and metric RAE in 2008. The weights of each predictor can be calibrated to maximize thejoint correlation with the rankings. Open Access Scientometrics will provide powerful new means of navigating, evaluating,predicting and analyzing the growing Open Access database, as well as powerful incentives for making it grow faster.
