5.3 Outputs and Outcomes that were not achieved

This section briefly describes a few challenges encountered, gives a short account for influencing factors and issues, as well as opportunities and lessons learnt

5.3.1 Annual report 2013

The publication of ISP’s Annual Report 2013 was delayed, and it was finally published and made available on ISP’s web on 3 October 2014.

The main factor influencing the delay was a demanding reorganisation of the ISP administrative functions, and the intense work with upgrading the monitoring and evaluations system, both activities involving recruitment of new staff.

It is important to start the work to draft the Annual Report as early as possible in the year, once the activity reports from groups and networks start to be received at ISP.

5.4 Publications

Totally 252 publications were reported in 2014 (Table 13), 92% in scientific journals and 8% other publications. Regarding articles in scientific journals, 44% were published in “high impact” journals. ISP was acknowledged in 41% of the chemistry scientific journal publications, in 15% of those in mathematics, and in 31% of those in physics.

Table 13. Summary of publication data for 2014, per category and program. The number (No) of publications (Publ.) in scientific journals is specified to those with and without Thomson Reuters (TR) impact factors (IF), and the proportions (%) between these are indicated.

Publication category	IPICS No / %		IPMS No / %		IPPS No / %		Total No / %
Publ. in Scientific Journals (with TR IF) Publ. in Scientific Journals (no TR IF) Books, Chapters, Pop. Publ., Techn. Rep., etc. Total number of publications	58 41 13 112	59 41	13 55 7 75	19 81	30 34 1 65	47 53	101 130 21 252	44 56

In Sections 5.4.1, 5.4.2 and 5.4.3, publications are detailed for each program, chemistry, mathematics and physics, and summarized in Tables. The bibliographic data given is obtained directly from the reporting of the supported activities, with only minor editing. The code of the ISP-supported activity that is reporting the publication is given after each entry. For publications in scientific journals (but not other publications), green color marking of the code denotes that acknowledgement of ISP support is given in the paper.⁹

The publications are sorted by scientific journal, and where available the Thomson Reuters (TR) Impact Factor (IF) 2014 is given in bold (with the 5-year Impact Factor within brackets).¹⁰ Journals listed with TR IF are here considered to be “high quality”. In cases where the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) code is given, information can be accessed by adding the code in the web page http://dx.doi.org/.

5.4.1 Chemistry

IPICS partners reported 112 publications (Table 14). In the 99 articles in scientific journals, ISP was acknowledged in 40% of the 58 in “TR listed” journals (“high impact”), and 41% of the 41 in the “TR unlisted” journals (“low impact”).
