Help! What do these terms mean?
Concept Acronym Definition
Associated Publications An Organization's Associated Publications is the set of papers in which the Organization (or any of its children) is mentioned in author affiliations, or in the acknowledgements as grant-giver or funder.
Number of Associated Publications NAP Number of Associated Publications, compiled (depending on context) for a given year or over many years, for a specific Journal or for many, etc.
Publication Fraction PubFrac A fraction of a unit representing an Organization's "weight" for a given Publication.
The weight is given by the following simple algorithm:
  • First, the unit is split equally among each of the authors.
  • Then, for each author, their part is split equally among their affiliations.
  • The author parts are then binned per Organization.
By construction, any individual paper's PubFracs sum up to 1.
Expenditures We use the term Expenditures to represent the sum of all outflows of money required by our initiative to achieve a certain output (depending on context).
Average Publication Expenditures APEX For a given Journal for a given year, the average expenditures per Publication which our initiative has faced. All our APEX are listed on our APEX page.
Total Associated Expenditures Total expenditures ascribed to an Organization's Associated Publications (given for one or many years, Journals etc depending on context).
PubFrac share The fraction of expenditures which can be associated to an Organization, based on PubFracs. This is defined as APEX times PubFrac, summed over the set of Publications defined by the context (e.g. all Associated Publications of a given Organization for a given Journal in a given year).
Subsidy support Sum of the values of all Subsidies relevant to a given context (for example: from a given Organization in a given year).
Impact on reserves Difference between incoming and outgoing financial resources for the activities under consideration (again defined depending on context).
  • A positive impact on reserves means that our initiative is sustainable (and perhaps even able to grow).
  • A negative impact on reserves means that these activities are effectively depleting our available resources and threatening our sustainability.

This table presents our cumulative financial balance information, broken down per country. Top of the list are our champions; those at the bottom of the list threaten our sustainability.
