#bibliometric — Public Fediverse posts

Sitting without electricity and heating, but still thinking about… open #bibliometric data. Sharing our presentation from Bergen 2025. Even in these conditions, we keep building resilient research infrastructures:

The bibliometrics market is a textbook case of market failure: monopolies dominate, national research stays invisible, and profit beats #data quality. That’s why national infrastructures and #openmetadata really matter.

Scientific papers that people can find and easily access get cited more (I know, shocking). But that's true even if those papers are on Shadow Libraries ("articles downloaded from Sci-Hub were cited 1.72 times more than papers not downloaded from Sci-Hub").

@Akbaritabar & Beatrix P. Rubin used quantitative #bibliometric methods in combination with qualitative methods to examine the #evolution of the concept of plasticity in the #neuroscience literature from the late 20th century to the present. This research facilitates a shift from the view that the adult nervous system is immutable to an understanding of the #nervoussystem as capable of lifelong #change & #adaptation.

Eugenio Petrovich and colleagues 👏 have proposed a new approach to #bibliometric analysis that goes beyond traditional citations. It focuses on using a mention index to analyse the connections between scholars and texts during periods when our familiar #citation practices didn't yet exist:

:doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-024-05116-x

Researchers compiled a corpus of 22,977 articles from 12 Anglophone #philosophy journals 1890-1979, and created EDHIPHY https://edhiphy.org/

The oligopoly of academic publishers persists in exclusive database

👉 "The emergence of digital #publishing, the reduction of expenses for printing and distribution and #opensource journal management tools may have contributed to the emergence of small #publishers, while the development of inclusive #bibliometric databases has allowed for the effective #indexing of #journals & #articles."

Nice, our preprint from @MPDL on publications and #researchdata as well as #researchsoftware by #MaxPlanck researcher in the year 2020 is online 👌 https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.18182 #Forschungsdatenmanagement #Forschungssoftware #Bibliometrie #bibliometric

3/3 #Bibliometric maps are great for showing the relative distances between clusters of knowledge but lack deterministic coordinates and emphasize papers over people. Inversely, #sociological maps focus on individuals in a deterministic system of social variables but poorly capture the intellectual content of science. We reconcile these approaches by focusing on researchers primarily as knowledge producers and thereby trace the relationships between epistemic and social dimensions of science.

Important #preprint for #bibliometric analysis - Results show that different from SCIE/SSCI, both the annual publication volumes in the A&HCI database and all A&HCI journals have remained relatively stagnant in all document types... + the average journal publication volume of A&HCI journals has decreased gradually

@albertcardona @brembs

Indeed a collegial decision making, from the setup of panels to their debates and the final decision, matters even more than the criteria used to evaluate science and scientists.

Still, it's good that the criteria are not reduced to a #bibliometric measure—this leads to crazy #paperMill systems.

I'm not sure though the evolutions described for #Spain are nearly enough, that's just adding other sources of "bonus points" on a #bibliometry driven basis.

Sneaked references: Cooked reference metadata inflate #citation counts

👉 "Sneaked references are registered as #metadata for scientific articles in which they do not appear. This manipulation exploits trusted relationships between [...] publishers, the #Crossref metadata registration agency, digital #libraries, and #bibliometric platforms. [...] we show that extra undue references are [causing] artificially inflated citation counts"

"Rather than prioritizing the best platform to disseminate their results, the main priority seems to have shifted towards the formal status of journals, such as indexing in #Scopus, which does not necessarily imply influence or global visibility by default":

#bibliometric #humanities #Ukraine #language

Our new article presents the results of a quantitative analysis of Ukrainian A&H research from 2012 to 2021, as observed in #Scopus:

:doi: https://doi.org/10.1108/LHT-05-2023-0180

Preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.07700

In this study, we analysed the diversity and total number of sources, as well as the geographic distribution of authors and citing authors, to provide insights into the internationalization level of Ukrainian A&H research.

It's a great preprint! Learn more about German 🇩🇪 Diamond Open Access Journal Landscape:

👉 https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.13080

The #bibliometric analysis reveals a substantial number of Diamond OA journals 💎 in the #socialsciences and #humanities, but limited adoption in other fields. The model proves effective for small to mid-sized journals, but not for larger ones.

#OpenAccess #Journals #Interviews

In this research letter 📮 , we draw the attention of the #scientometrics community to the fact that numerous records of non-English publications in the #Scopus and #WoS do not include information about the country of the authors:

:doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-023-04661-1

These limitations of #citation databases must be taken into account when conducting #bibliometric analysis, especially when comparing the outputs in #SSH at the level of countries.

Our new publication in #Scientometrics:

👉 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11192-023-04661-1

During the #bibliometric analysis, we noticed that numerous records for non-English publications in #Scopus and #WoS don't include information about the country of the authors. We suspected that most of these country-undefined papers are written by authors from a country where the language of the paper is official. Thus, the incompleteness of #metadata may distort the quantitative comparison of output at the country level ⚠️

An interesting article in #ResearchEvaluation based on a series of interviews:

"We have been looking at InCites too, and the main driver for this is we have just purchased [the] Pure". How is the #CRIS connected to analytical tool (from different vendors)?? 🤔

Answers like this always demotivate me from conducting interviews in research. A-la "Of course, I know how the h-index is calculated, because I've an impact factor"

#bibliometric #infrastructure #librarians

Reading #bibliometric studies in Web of Science and Scopus, I find it hard to believe the authors never consider whether changes over time are due to qualitative changes in coverage by the database itself. Eg, if authors from a country are increasingly represented, maybe it's because the database indexed more journals from that country!

New #bibliometric study with Ji Ma:

We explored how coauthor #networks, scholarly #reputation, and female authorships are associated with #consensus formation in the field of #nonprofit and #philanthropic studies.

https://osf.io/6b7qg/

The degree of consensus for all major topics has increased over time---for every 10% growth in the volume of literature, shared language increased by 1.4%.

This is good news. Research on nonprofits and #philanthropy uses increasingly coherent language.
