Abstract

What can be learnt from an application of author-level bibliometrics to the field of agricultural research in Zimbabwe for the period 2012–2016? The study addressed the question by integrating data from three sources: Scopus, the Web of Science and the National Research Database of Zimbabwe. A set of fifteen bibliometric indicators was constructed for 2,873 Zimbabwean authors, of which 248 (9%) were in agricultural sciences and 295 (10%) in multidisciplinary agricultural sciences. The indicators represented three dimensions: volume of article output, scholarly publication outlet and research collaboration. Results are discussed in terms of the Zimbabwean government’s policy for agriculture. Part of the lessons learnt calls for author-level bibliometric studies to connect more closely with the local, regional and global politics of knowledge production.

津巴布韦的农业研究:出版渠道和研究合作的作者水平文献计量学分析

作者层面的文献计量学在2012-2016年津巴布韦农业研究领域的应用可以学到什么?这项研究通过整合来自三个来源的数据来解决这个问题:Scopus、科学网和津巴布韦国家研究数据库。为2,873位津巴布韦作者构建了一套15个文献计量指标，其中248位(9%)来自农业科学，295位(10%)来自多学科农业科学。指标分为论文产出量、学术出版渠道和科研合作三个维度。根据津巴布韦政府的农业政策对结果进行了讨论。所吸取的部分经验教训要求作者级别的文献计量学研究与知识生产的地方、区域和全球政治更密切地联系起来。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
