Bibliometrics

Felieton dotyczy tak zwanej bibliometrii. Korzystając z faktu, że ten właśnie felieton zajmował 1001 miejsce na liście artykułów napisanych przez autora - podjęta została dyskusja na temat wartościowania dorobku (dowolnego: naukowego, popularyzatorskiego, publicystycznego itp.) Wskazano, że sama liczba publikacji nie stanowi właściwej miary wartości wkładu intelektualnego określonego autora, gdyż ważne jest, czy napisane książki, artykuły czy nawet tylko felietony - miały jakiś oddźwięk u czytelników. Miarą tego oddźwięku jest liczba cytowań. Jeśli jakaś praca jest często cytowana, to znaczy że silnie oddziałała na czytelników. Miarą ilości i stabilności cytowań jest tzw. indeks Hirscha. W momencie pisania artykułu (2010 rok) indeks ten był w Polsce mało popularny, więc wyjaśnienie jego znaczenia w przedstawianym artykule było ważne i potrzebne.

Analysis of a random sample of bibliographic records from OCLC WorldCat finds that the great majority of items in WorldCat are held by very few participating library, and that a power law relationship exists between the number of libraries holding an item and the number of items with a given level of shared holdings.  The findings provide a context for interpreting holding levels in WorldCat with regard to the proportion of widely shared items and the characteristics of items at various ranges of holdings.  Used with other quantitative and evaluative measures, these findings will assist librarians in assessing their collections.

A library without digital resources is like a king without a kingdom. But sad stories continue in most of the developing countries specially the night mares is a reality for the libraries of Bangladesh. Most of the libraries (including national, public, academic, special) in Bangladesh have no electronic/digital resources or very limited resources. In this reality, aims of this paper are to explore the present status of digital resources in different types of libraries and as expected the findings were shocking. As this paper was based on secondary resources, the findings shows that there were no digital or electronic resources available at the collections of national and public libraries, some digital resources were found in case of special libraries and a notable number of resources were found in the academic and university libraries though still the collections need to be increased in numbers, in that regard this paper concludes with some specific guidelines to increase digital resources in university libraries.

Researchers across the health sciences are engaged in a vigorous debate over the role that the concepts of “race” and “ethnicity” play in health research and clinical practice. Here we contribute to that debate by examining how the concepts of race, ethnicity, and racism are used in medical–anthropological research. We present a content analysis of Medical Anthropology and Medical Anthropology Quarterly, based on a systematic random sample of empirical research articles (n =283) published in these journals from 1977 to 2002. We identify both differences and similarities in the use of race, ethnicity, and racism concepts in medical anthropology and neighboring disciplines, and we offer recommendations for ways that medical anthropologists can contribute to the broader debate over racial and ethnic inequalities in health.

The project aims to study the Microsoft Academic Graph, a scholarly citation database, by comparison with three competitors in the field: Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Openness, transparency of data gathering and processing, and completeness of data including the global unique identifiers has been researched in each of the four datasets. The analysis has been conducted using a set of 75 institutional affiliations, 6 randomly selected authors from the and 639 documents published by these authors. The coverage of total research output in MAG of the six selected authors had reached 76.0%, hence being on-par with coverage of Google Scholar (76.2%) and significantly better than that of Scopus (66.5%) and Web of Science (58.8%). The overall results indicate that Microsoft Academic Graph can be an interesting source of information for bibliometric or scientometric analysis. However, no definite conclusions regarding the scope of MAG can be drawn due to the small size of the sample. Furthermore, problems with affiliation and author disambiguation in MAG have been highlighted. Finally, studies focusing on the disciplinary coverage of the datasets in greater detail are proposed.

The purpose of this study was to explore the trends of publication patterns in Library and Information Science research using bibliometric review. The areas of the Bibliometrics review are contributions of current research, use of citations, length of articles, use of illustrations, authorship patterns, geographical and chronological distribution of contributions, etc. Two national journals were selected as source journals, i.e. IASLlC Bulletin and Annals of Library and Information Studies (ALIS). A structured schedule had been prepared to record data through content analysis of the articles published during the years 2010-2014. All issues of the journals have been collected and examined methodically. The remit of the study can help the stakeholders in this field to understand the patterns of current research.

In early December 2019, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) causing a cluster of pneumonia of unknown etiology originated from Wuhan, China, and spread rapidly throughout the world. The WHO (World Health Organization) changed the status of COVID-19 outbreak from epidemic into pandemic on March 11, 2020. →What this article adds: Since the emergence of COVID-19, the number of publications on this topic has dramatically grown. About 84% of COVID-19 documents are open-access. The focus of COVID-19 literature in terms of countries, journals, institutions, terms, and keywords which all were discussed in detail sets out the research hotspots and important topics in this field.

Проблемы экономики и управления нефтегазовым комплексом 8/2018 32 УДК [303.6.+303.7]:001.8 ТЯЖЕЛАЯ НЕФТЬ: НЕКОТОРЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ БИБЛИОМЕТРИЧЕСКОГО АНАЛИЗА ДЛЯ ВЫЯВЛЕНИЯ ПЕРСПЕКТИВНЫХ НАУЧНЫХ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЙ Б.Н. Чигарев (Институт проблем нефти и газа РАН (ИПНГ РАН)) Работа выполнена в рамках государственного задания ФАНО (тема "Фундаментальный базис инновационных технологий нефтяной и газовой промышленности", № ААА-0139-2018-0006). Увеличение стоимости исследовательских работ по разработке технологий для освоения запасов тяжелой нефти делает ак-туальным выявление перспективных научных тем. Для этого проведен библиометрический анализ научных публикаций, проиндексированных в базе Web of Science за период 2003-2018 гг. по теме инновационных исследований, связанных с добычей тяжелой нефти. Дана общая картина направлений научных работ по указанной теме. Выявлено недостаточное международное сотрудничест-во российских ученых в рамках рассматриваемых в данной статье задач. Ведущими исследовательскими центрами по рас-сматриваемой тематике являются Альбертский университет, Университет Калгари (Канада), Китайский нефтяной универси-тет. Активно публикуются университеты Ирана. Кратко разобран пример выявления перспективной темы научных исследований, ориентированной на повышение эффектив-ности извлечения тяжелой нефти. Согласно библиометрическому анализу научных публикаций, ионные жидкости, являющие-ся солевыми расплавами, имеющими точку плавления ниже 100 °C, могут рассматриваться как перспективная альтернатива сурфактантам при использовании химических методов доизвлечения тяжелой нефти. Данные результаты, полученные из анализа публикаций в Web of Science, согласуются с результатами из базы публикаций OnePetro. Показана эффективность использования бесплатных программных продуктов при проведении библиометрических иссле-дований. Ключевые слова: библиометрический анализ; базы публикаций; перспективные научные исследования; тяжелая нефть; ионные жидкости; бесплатное программное обеспечение.
The increase in the cost of research work on the development of technologies for the extraction of heavy oil resources makes it urgent to identify promising scientific topics. A bibliometric analysis of scientific publications indexed in the Web of Science database for the period 2003-2018 on the topic of innovative research related to the extraction of heavy oil was carried out. The general picture of the directions of scientific works on this topic is given. The insufficient international cooperation of Russian scientists in the framework of the problems considered in this article was revealed. Leading research centers on the subject are Albert University, University of Calgary (Canada), Chinese Petroleum University. The universities of Iran are actively publishing. The example of revealing the perspective theme of the scientific researches focused on increase of efficiency of extraction of heavy oil is briefly examined. According to the bibliometric analysis of scientific publications, ionic liquids, which are salt melts with a melting point below 100 °C, can be considered as a promising alternative to surfactants when using chemical methods for extracting heavy oil. These results, obtained from the analysis of publications in the Web of Science, are consistent with the results from the OnePetro publications database. Keywords: bibliometric analysis; bases of publications; advanced scientific research; heavy oil; ionic liquids; free software. Введение Запасы тяжелой нефти и битума превышают тради-ционные запасы [1]. В России они достигают 6-7 млрд т, однако их извлечение требует разработки новых тех-нологий, опирающихся на фундаментальные научные исследования [2]. Если еще 30-40 лет назад можно было встретить утверждение, что легче провести эксперименты зано-во, чем найти результаты в научной литературе, то сейчас, при наличии огромных баз научных публика-ций и развитых методов поиска и анализа текстов, подбор необходимой научно-технической информа-ции становится экономически более оправданным. Еще одним важным фактором является увеличение стои-мости проводимых научных исследований-трудно-извлекаемая нефть требует еще более "трудных" экс-периментов, поэтому актуальными являются вопросы: В какие научные темы инвестировать деньги?, Нет ли повторных инвестиций в задачи, которые не дали результатов?. Ответить на эти вопросы без автомати-зации работы с большими объемами научно-техниче-ской информации не представляется возможным. У экспертов, оценивающих проект или научную тему,

Open access publication for public funded research has been a demand by scholarly community. Studies shows about the growing publishing trend in open access from Indian scholars. The current study evaluates about the open access publication trend of top 5 central universities of India in the period from 2011 to 2015. The top 5 central universities were identified from the National Institutional Ranking Framework, published by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India for the year 2016. Study was limited to items published as article or review only in journals which are indexed in the Scopus database. The findings of the study show low share (only 14.37% of total items) of open access published contents from the top 5 universities during the period. Also an analysis of impact of the published contents via citation count reveals that even though the share of open access contents in the published literature were less but the rate of citation of the OA content were higher than that of the paid access contents. Average citation rate to the open access articles from the universities were 6.85 per article, while the same for the paid access items were 5.41 citations per article. 30.69% of published OA contents had foreign collaboration and out of those 30.69%, 62.38% had collaboration with USA, which proves the strong influence of USA collaboration in the OA contents of top Indian universities.

In this paper, citation analysis of the doctoral dissertations of the Electronics and Communication Engineering (E.C.E.) department of National Institute of Technology Durgapur (N.I.T. Durgapur), West Bengal, India, were analysed to understand the citation trends of the scholars. For this study, 47 doctoral dissertations available in the library are chosen as the study sample. These dissertations contain 6476 references referred from different kinds of literature. Journals are the most preferred literature with 3934 (60.75%) of the whole, followed by conference proceedings with 1572 (24.27%) and books with 675 (10.44%) references. 231 (3.57%) were referred from other resources, while 64 (0.99) could not find. IEEE has received maximum journal citations to 1572 (39.96%) of the total journals' citations followed by Elsevier B.V. and American Physical Society to 413 (10.50%) and 222 (5.64%) respectively. The rest of the journals references were from other publishers. Scholars cited 754 journals out of these IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation has received maximum occurrence to 337 followed by Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics by A.P.S. and Electronics Letters by I.E.T. to 108 and 107 times respectively. The U.S.A. is the top publishing country with 318 Publications. Followed by the United Kingdom, Netherlands & India with 134, 94,44 & 40 publications, respectively.

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses synthesize data from existing primary research, and well-conducted reviews offer clinicians a practical solution to the problem of staying current in their fields of interest. A whole generation of secondary journals, pre-appraised evidence libraries and periodically updated electronic texts are now available to clinicians. However, not all systematic reviews are of high quality, and it is important to be able to critically assess their validity and applicability. This article is an illustrated guide for conducting systematic reviews. A clear understanding of the process will provide clinicians with the tools to judiciously appraise reviews and interpret them. We hope that it will enable clinicians to conduct systematic reviews, generate high-quality evidence, and contribute to the evidence-based medicine movement.

Mucilage (sea saliva) is a thick, sticky substance produced by almost all plants and some microorganisms. It is formed by the combination of many biological and chemical conditions. It plays various roles in plants such as storing water and food, germination of seeds and membrane thickening. Although there are many different reasons, it is possible to talk about three main factors in the formation of Marine Mucilage, which is on the agenda of our country with the situation in the Sea of Marmara recently: Sea temperatures exceeding the average temperatures, increase in the pollution rate in the seas, and the sea being stagnant. It is known that if these three situations occur, Marine Mucilage increases as some plankton species start to multiply rapidly. This study focuses on the general features of scientific research on sea saliva. In the study, the interdisciplinary nature of the research on sea snail is revealed with a data-based analysis. While it was observed that Zoology, Plant Sciences, Oceanography, Marine & Freshwater Biology, Limnology, Fisheries, Environmental Sciences and Ecology carried out joint studies in these studies with a high collaboration pattern, Italy, France, China, Croatia and the USA were among the countries that attracted attention in terms of the number of publications. While the frequency of studies on the northern Adriatic Sea as a geographical area draws attention, Univ Bologna, Univ Gottingen, Univ Melbourne, Univ Genoa and Istanbul University are among the universities that attract attention in terms of institutional publications.

Educational psychology is a discipline with a relatively long and intricate history. This study contributes to the understanding of the most recent developments of educational psychology research through the exploration of 35,210 articles published in all journals indexed in the Web of Science educational psychology category for the 2000-2019 period. The results of the study show that the volume of research on educational psychology has doubled during this period and a few journals accumulate most of the research produced in the discipline. Most studies have been published in the English language and in the United States, although research produced in China has experienced the greatest growth. Recent research on educational psychology has predominantly addressed 16 research themes over the last 20 years, although research on child-age students, teaching and teacher education, learning and education, assessment and testing, socio-cultural diversity, learning environments, and educational measurement have captured the greatest attention.

La Psicología educativa es una disciplina con una historia relativamente larga e intrincada. Este estudio ayuda a conocer los desarrollos más recientes de la investigación en psicología educativa a través de la exploración de 35,210 artículos publicados en todas las revistas indexadas en la categoría de psicología educativa de Web of Science durante el período 2000-2019. Los resultados del estudio muestran que el volumen de investigación en psicología educativa se ha duplicado durante este período y unas cuantas revistas acumulan la mayor parte de la investigación producida en esta disciplina. La mayoría de los estudios se han publicado en inglés en Estados Unidos, aunque la investigación desarrollada en China ha experimentado el mayor crecimiento. Investigaciones recientes en psicología educativa abordan sobre todo 16 temas de investigación en los últimos 20 años, aunque la investigación en estudiantes en edad infantil, en enseñanza y educación del profesorado, aprendizaje y educación, evaluación y pruebas, diversidad sociocultural, entornos de aprendizaje y medición educativa han captado la mayor atención.

PurposeThe current review aims to examine the growth trajectory, most influential documents, intellectual and conceptual structure of the literature regarding gender issues in family business research.Design/methodology/approachThe bibliometric analysis was performed using 224 documents from 1991 to 2020 extracted from the Web of Science database.FindingsThe review finds that this field's knowledge grew exponentially during the last three decades, mainly after 2003 and the last several years. Based on the co-citation analysis, three major research lines are identified: “Women's challenges and opportunities in the family business”, “Gender diversity in the family business corporate board”, and “Gender and family SMEs management.” The temporal co-word analysis reveals that “Gender diversity in the family business corporate board” is the latest research line.Originality/valueBy reviewing prominent cited references and documents that cited them, the authors provide the landscape...

Bibliometric studies have the particularity of analyzing the performance of a research field/area. The present study, following this premise, will map the works of a Postgraduate program at a Brazilian Federal University. For this purpose, text mining and clustering techniques are used to analyze 609 works, including theses and dissertations. The use of text mining techniques and visualization of similarities provided the indication of groupings of knowledge areas. The similarity analysis indicates the little interaction between the fields of knowledge, characterizing the existence of “conceptual islands”. This result may have been impacted by the way the data was extracted in the similarity analysis. The analysis also made it possible to verify which themes arouse greater interest in the program in relation to the research being carried out.

SCI mago is the Journal and Country Ranking database available freely on the internet. We have accessed the required data from 2008 to 2017 from this database and evaluated the research productivity of SAARC countries and citations in the field of social science subject. This article studied SAARC countries publications, citations, citations per document,  self-citations and degree of self – citations. The study revealed that on an average 6054 articles are published during the study period. India is the only country to publish more than the average
citations publications during the ten years of study. India received 78% of citations and stood 1st rank in the study, whereas Pakistan and Bangladesh got 8% and 6% citations and stood 2nd and 3rd rank. Nepal got highest 76% of citations per document and stood 1st rank among the SAARC countries in the last ten years from 2008 to 2017. Further, it is found that the degree of self-citation is 0.24, which is very lowest. Since all the SAARC countries are underdeveloped so it is suggested that the government of SAARC countries has to encourage more and more publications, then only their socio-economic level may increase. Individuals, as well as organisations, should take more interest to publish their research articles in high impact journals both at national and international level.

The present study reports the results of the bibliometric analysis of Annals of Library and Information Studies (ALIS) for the period from 2004 to 2013. The data collection was done by downloading the contents from the website of the journal. The analysis covers mainly the number of articles, authorship pattern, geographical distribution of contributions, types and forms of documents cited, length of the contributions etc. The study shows a trend of growth in the number of contributions every year. Out of the total number of 323 contributions, 120 (37.15%) are contributed by single authors while the remaining 203 (62.85%) are join authors' contributions. The study further finds that most of the contributions are from India (87.31%).

This paper highlights the importance of education (courses, workshops and conferences) for scientometrics and bibliometrics. Selected international conferences and courses devoted entirely to these issues were pointed out. Particular attention was paid to the ESSS (European Summer School for Scientometrics) from the perspective of a participant of the 4th edition, which was held from 8 to 13 of September 2013 in Berlin. It has been indicated for whom the ESSS is intended. The organisation of ESSS’s conference and workshops was described generally. The benefits of participation in this event were discussed. A set of practical tips that can be useful to participants in further ESSS editions was provided. Two appendices were enclosed – the list of presentations, available on the ESSS website for the years 2010 to 2013 and a list of training videos for the Web of Science and Scopus, available on websites. Appendices were prepared as at 1st October 2013.

Background: Publication records and citation indices often are used to evaluate academic performance. For this reason, obtaining or computing them accurately is important. This can be difficult, largely due to a lack of complete knowledge of an individual’s publication list and/or lack of time available to manually obtain or construct the publication-citation record. While online publication search engines have somewhat addressed these problems, using raw search results can yield inaccurate estimates of publication-citation records and citation indices. Methodology: In this paper, we present a new, automated method that produces estimates of an individual’s publicationcitation record from an individual’s name and a set of domain-specific vocabulary that may occur in the individual’s publication titles. Because this vocabulary can be harvested directly from a research web page or online (partial) publication list, our method delivers an easy way to obtain estimates of a publication-c...
