In this study, 81 open access journal articles on the topic of “smart libraries” from Google Scholar were analyzed using text mining techniques. Articles were chosen based on the criterion that they had to be open access and have smart libraries as their main component. To analyze the articles and discover interesting text patterns within the retrieved articles, Voyant Tool, an open-source text-mining tool, was used. It assists in finding Corpus Collocates that are closely related in texts as well as identifying n-grams in the field of smart libraries (sequences of words occurring together with the context that surrounds them). Results showed that the most frequently used words in the corpus were smart (3533); information (2253), data (1753); technology (1382); service (1327). Furthermore, findings showed that the longest document had 14210 words and the shortest had 1012. Overall, the study findings will help in understand the smart libraries ecosystem with deeper insight.","PeriodicalId":10501,"journal":{"name":"COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70464594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GH-index, named after the initial letters of the Ghobadi surname, has nothing to do with h&g indices and results from a year-and-a-half study of more than 3,600 faculty members in orthodontics worldwide.

The types of performance indicators, as well as their minimum values, are incorporated into the application requirements for academic promotions, scientific qualifications, and research scholarships. HAS has proposed a reform of these performance indicators, to align with the current national and global trends. The proposed modifications are generally based on arbitrary decisions and the consensus between academicians, namely, the representatives of the sections of HAS. This paper contains a bibliometric analysis of 25,000 publications produced between 2011 and 2020 by 683 researchers affiliated with HAS’s Section of Earth Sciences. The bibliometric data of the publications are processed by an integer and fractional counting, respectively. The main goal of the paper is to argue that discipline-specific co-authorship patterns should be accounted for in the assessment procedure. It is also shown that the homogenization of the performance indicators and the rigid use of the integer counting method favor hard natural science disciplines and put social science disciplines at a disadvantage. Finally, the paper describes some components of an alternative publishing strategy which would be most prudent for researchers, given the proposed assessment criteria.","PeriodicalId":10501,"journal":{"name":"COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management","volume":"16 1","pages":"331 - 352"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42880631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The clinicians and researchers are engaged in the disease’s control, treatment, and care. In the early phase of the outbreak, the alternative medicine system attracted attention as not much knowledge and remedies were available for the disease. Concurrently, vaccine development research was initiated and is still ongoing. The PubMed public domain database specifically devoted to the health science system, along with the iCite database, is used to undertake metric analysis on the above two subject areas. Bibexcel and VOSviewer software are used for the bibliometric analysis of parameters such as language-wise contribution, top journals, most prolific authors, countries, and coorganisations. It’s found that English as a language and the USA as a country are leading across both the subject areas. The inferential analysis reveals that the double-blind peer review system is having a higher positive impact while, among the publication types, observational studies and funded support research studies are significantly influential.","PeriodicalId":10501,"journal":{"name":"COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management","volume":"16 1","pages":"389 - 405"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44938626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This causes the development of e-commerce to be even faster. In this study, 2798 academic publications about e-commerce were reviewed to define e-commerce trends, bibliographic couplings of authors, journals and countries, and most used terms in the field yearly. In this context, firstly, annual changes in the number of publications are given. Then, the change in research areas was examined on an annual basis and it was stated which areas came to the fore. Then, detailed analyzes (trends and bibliographic couplings) about authors, journals and countries were included. In the end, term extraction process was conducted on a yearly basis.

We assessed if there is a link between the APC of Hindawi journals and two metrics, Elsevier’s Scopus CiteScore, and Clarivate’s Journal Impact Factor (JIF). Whereas 163 journals have a CiteScore (median APC = US$1000), 71 have a JIF (median APC = US$1950), while others with neither a CiteScore nor a JIF (NCNJ) have a median APC of US$650. The APC of journals with a CiteScore differed significantly from those with a JIF. We found a significant positive correlation between CiteScore and AFPC (r = 0.223, p < 0.01), but a weak non-significant positive correlation between JIF and APC (r = 0.162, p = 0.177).

This paper looks at the various dimensions of the SS, H, and LLA impact using data from four databases (InCites based on Web of Science/Carivate Analytics, SciVal based on Scopus/Elsevier, Scielo and Redalyc). The four databases show low overlap. A large proportion of Brazilian papers in Incites and Scival are published in a low percentage of journals in these databases, with a high percentage of journals having a few papers each. SS, H and LLA have fewer papers per journal, fewer authors per paper and LLA cite fewer papers than the other areas of knowledge. They also take longer to accumulate citations, and the behaviour of citations in Scielo differs from those in Incites and SciVal. The largest number of downloads of Brazilian papers from Redalyc is from the USA. Different databases show different citation patterns and impacts. The quantity and quality of production of Brazilian science in SSH areas are improving and can show high-impact research and prominence worldwide. Nevertheless, relevant themes for Brazil may not have the same importance internationally. Therefore, evaluation in these areas should not be limited to international databases. Recognising these differences does not imply negative conclusions regarding the international insertion of Brazilian human and social sciences.","PeriodicalId":10501,"journal":{"name":"COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management","volume":"16 1","pages":"279 - 304"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45179141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This number differs significantly according to various scientific fields. Known that h-type indices (h-index, gindex, A-index, etc.) are used to evaluate the performance of researchers, which do not distinguish between single-author and multi-author papers in the evaluation process. In other words, a citation received from multi-authored papers is applied to all co-authors (as in the single-authored paper). To solve this problem, several weighted version of the h-index have been proposed. Most of these versions are indices and are based on the division principle of citations based on the co-author’s position in the authors’ order. In other words, according to the position of the co-authors order, the weight is assigned to the co-authors, and the citations are proportionally divided according to co-authors in these weights. Obviously, the calculation of weights is important in this case. h-type indices proposed in the paper are based on the “relative first author” (or “local first author”) principle. “Relative first author” means the co-authors being in the first position relative to the co-authors after him. Based on this principle, existing weighting schemes were modified, and then new weighted h-type indices were proposed for multiple authorship papers according to these weighting schemes. In other words, the “local first author” approach was proposed instead of the “global first author” approach in calculating the h-type indices for multiple authorship papers. The suggested indices were calculated for 30 researchers selected from the Google Scholar database and compared with other relevant h-type indices.","PeriodicalId":10501,"journal":{"name":"COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management","volume":"16 1","pages":"305 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46662468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
