• Abstract summary: We show how the data in one of the bases can be used to infer the main index of the other one. Since the information of SCOPUS can be freely scraped from the Web, this approach allows to infer for free the Impact Factor of publications.

• Abstract: The academic evaluation of the publication record of researchers is relevant for identifying talented candidates for promotion and funding. A key tool for this is the use of the indexes provided by Web of Science and SCOPUS, costly databases that sometimes exceed the possibilities of academic institutions in many parts of the world. We show here how the data in one of the bases can be used to infer the main index of the other one. Methods of data analysis used in Machine Learning allow us to select just a few of the hundreds of variables in a database, which later are used in a panel regression, yielding a good approximation to the main index in the other database. Since the information of SCOPUS can be freely scraped from the Web, this approach allows to infer for free the Impact Factor of publications, the main index used in research assessments around the globe.

  This position paper proposes a data-centric viewpoint of AI research, focusing on large language models (LLMs) We make the key observation that data is instrumental in the developmental (e.g., pretraining and fine-tuning) and inferential stages (e.g., in-context learning) of LLMs. We identify four specific scenarios centered around data, covering data-centric benchmarks and data curation, data attribution, knowledge transfer, and inference contextualization.
