The Danish Bibliometric Research Indicator (BFI)

incentive model, danish bibliometric research indicator

The BFI model consists of a set of authority lists of journals, publishers, book series and conference series, publications that can lead to so-called BFI points. The publication channels featuring on the authority lists are divided into two levels, level 2 being the most prestigious.

A number of expert groups are responsible for objectively assessing which publication channels should be included in the authority lists for each academic field.

We recommend that you:

Consult the lists before you start writing
Choose a level-2 channel, if possible
Choose external collaborative partners in connection with the publication
Persuade expert groups (the one relevant in your case) to include your publication channels in the authority lists
Investigate whether there is any level-2 channel not being used and swap it for a level-1 channel that is being used to a greater extent.
Remember to get any publication channel that you launch included in the authority lists
