Overall, the result shows that, number of persons collaborating in a particular research, and the relative positions of the collaborators among their peers and within their organization are relevant and important in determining the KOL status of a researcher.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/917.jpg)

This paper developed a new scheme for identifying research Key Opinion Leaders. The developed methodology is an approach for evaluating Average Percentile Rank of individual researcher by measuring their collaborative strength through their published works. The study considered and introduced new parameters useful in measuring collaboration, and Average Percentile Rank. With these parameters, a new relationship to quantify Percentile Rank was introduced and applied to evaluate the Research Key Opinion Leader status of individual research staffs of INGENIO, the joint research institute of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Spain. Overall, the result shows that, number of persons collaborating in a particular research, and the relative positions of the collaborators among their peers and within their organization are relevant and important in determining the KOL status of a researcher.
