Pues se me ocurrió buscar en #SCOPUS las #fallas de #valencia y parece que es un tema CANDENTE y EXPLOSIVO.

@steve

It's good to hear of another high profile break away from #WoS and #Scopus. More power to #OpenResearch and open databases.

Update. The French 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘦 𝘭𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦 (#CNRS) is canceling the #WebOfScience and encouraging its affiliates to use #OpenAlex. It canceled #Scopus last year.

📢 #Scientometric indicators in #research evaluation and research #misconduct: analysis of the Russian #university excellence initiative

👉 "The results showed that #RUEI #universities had a significantly higher number of retracted #publications in #WoS - and #Scopus -indexed #journals, suggesting that pressure to meet quantitative scientometric #indicators may have encouraged unethical research practices and #researchmisconduct."

Update. More on the incompleteness of #WOS and #Scopus in covering #African journals, and the comparative comprehensiveness of #OpenAlex (@OpenAlex).
https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.01120

New study: "Non-selective databases (#Dimensions, #OpenAlex, #Scilit, and #TheLens) index a greater amount of retracted literature than do databases that rely their indexation on venue selection (#PubMed, #Scopus, and #WoS)…The high coverage of OpenAlex and Scilit could be explained by the inaccurate labeling of retracted documents in #Scopus, Dimensions, and The Lens."

Navigating bibliometric data extraction from WOS and Scopus can be tricky. In my latest post, I provide a step-by-step guide to help you efficiently gather and format the data for your research using the bibliometrix package in R.

Check out my new blog post here: joao.granja-correia.eu/blog/blog_20240701_bibliometric_data/

Last year, Scopus blitzed all links to journal websites from their profiles in a clumsy reaction to their data being infiltrated by journal hijackers, i.e., fraudsters who pose as a real journal.

Did it work? No. They're still indexing hijacked content, notes Anna Abalkina on Retraction Watch.

CNRS has unsubscribed from Scopus publications database https://www.cnrs.fr/en/cnrsinfo/cnrs-has-unsubscribed-scopus-publications-database

"Unsubscribing from #Scopus bibliographic database is first stage of process of freeing #CNRS from commercial databases and gradually switching to free bibliographic tools"

"#WOS subscription will be maintained during this transition"

"CNRS's decision is in line with international vision underpinning announcement by @cwts that it is launching transparent reproducible version of its world ranking of universities"

My new publication in #Scientometrics about university rankings. If you self-cite your papers too much, a hump will form in the visualization of your h-index. Does the presence of a hump necessarily indicate #manipulation? – Not necessarily, but it is an interesting anomaly in the #citation data:

https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-023-04886-0

#citations #hindex #selfcitation #university #rankings #Scopus

The unpleasant thing about this whole story https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-023-04855-7 is that so many journal editors, reviewers, and Ko didn’t care why physicists, material scientists, or economists suddenly cited an article about insects.

Also, a big hello 👋 to the content selection experts at #Scopus - 1278 citations, and #WoS - 1051.

New version 1.6.20 of #VOSviewer has just been released by @neesjanvaneck https://www.vosviewer.com.

This version offers improved support for open data sources like @OpenAlex.

We also spent quite some time fixing issues related to the file format used by #Scopus for exporting data from its database. I have mixed feelings about this. Should we keep investing time in proprietary data sources that fail to offer a reliable way to export data, or should we dedicate all our time to open data sources?

🆕 We have some great news:

the journals #Aniki: Revista Portuguesa da Imagem em Movimento and #HoST - Journal of History of Science and Technology, both published with the support of the IHC, have been accepted for indexing by the #Scopus platform! 🥳🎊

"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.

Current Status of Open Access Journals in India: A Bird's Eye View

👉 "The yearly growth of #openaccess journals in India was found to be 22.36%. Among these 306 #OA journals, about 44.11% of #journals are indexed in #Scopus, 34.96% of journals are indexed in #WebofScience(#WoS), and 7.18% of journals with impact factor (#IF) are indexed in #JCR. Almost 74% of open access journals published in #India do not charge Article Processing Charges (#APC)."

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 ⚠️
