{"title":"Quality Research Follows the Power Law","authors":"Hanbin Mao, Jixin Chen","doi":"10.5530/jscires.12.3.054","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5530/jscires.12.3.054","url":null,"abstract":"Research output can be evaluated with productivity and impact, which are quantified by the numbers of publications ( N ) and citations N c , respectively. The h -index ( H ) unifies both factors. However, as an extensive variable, it grows with quantity of research output and favors senior researchers over juniors. In this report, by analyzing the data of the world top 2% scientists ( n = 179,597) from an online database, we found that h -index follows power laws and proposes a different model from what Hirsch has originally proposed. We propose intensive indices ( Q N and Q C ) to measure quality research by comparing the actual h -index of a researcher with the power-law fitted h -indices from the top 2% scientists with the same numbers of publications and citations respectively. We further calculated a dynamic research quality ( Q 1 = Q N / Q C ) and a reduced index ( Q 2 =( Q N Q C ) 0.5 ) to evaluate research quality over time. We rationalized that the power law dependency of quality research is due to its heterogeneous production pathways that require extra effort with respect to “regular” research output. We found that research quality for the top 2% scientists is maximized with ~100 citations/paper and with about ~100 publications. A major advantage of these indices is that they are relative to the academic peers with similar accomplishments in publications and citations, and therefore, are independent of career stages. Since Q indices are positively correlated with H/N ratios, the research quality can also be quickly and conveniently estimated by the readily accessible values calculated using the equation H/ (N)^(2/3) or H/(Nc)^(1/2) .","PeriodicalId":43282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientometric Research","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139201689","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}

{"title":"Exploring the Impact of Altmetrics in Relation to Citation Count and SCImago Journal Rank (SJR)","authors":"Arshia Ayoub, Raashida Amin, Zahid Ashraf Wani","doi":"10.5530/jscires.12.3.058","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5530/jscires.12.3.058","url":null,"abstract":"A tide of new research metrics of social web analysis has drawn the attention of researchers from quite some time now. This new alternative metrics – referred to as the Altmetrics, to some degree, is considered to complement the traditional metric indicators especially the citation metrics. Citations reflect the impact of the research mostly from the academic sections while Altmetrics besides academics demonstrates the consumption of research from a wider community including practitioners, instructors and general public too. Since, both i.e., Altmetrics and citation count are employed to gauge the research impact, therefore, this study attempts to correlate the two in order to determine their extent of comparability and association. The Altmetric scores were compared with the citation counts for the articles associated with the field of Biological Sciences, Earth and Environmental Science, History and Archaeology and Studies in Human Society from the list of top 100 articles, provided by the aggregator - altmetric.com for time period 2014 – 2017. Besides, the harvested articles' altmetric scores were correlated with the SJR (SCImago Journal Rank) of the journals of the respective articles in which they were published. Finally, Spearman's correlation was calculated to gauge the association between the variables. The study found that among the four categories, Earth and Environmental science shows the most significant correlation between the citation count and Altmetric score while for the Altmetrics and SJR score in the said field, no such trend is visible. History and Archaeology also shows the strong correlation between the Altmetrics and citation scores with the exception of articles for the year-2016 and somewhat similar trend was noted for the Altmetrics and SJR score of the publications. Biological sciences show a weak correlation for both the pairs of variables while those pertaining to studies in human society mostly show negative association for both sets of variables. Thus, from analysis it can be deduced that, excluding the category of human society, the other three categories (i.e., Biological Sciences, Earth and Environmental science, History and Archaeology), mostly show positive correlation between the Altmetrics and citation score of publications and also, to some extent, for the Altmetrics and SJR score of the publications. The study would provide an insight in the association and degree of relation between the two-research metrics for their better usability and applicability.","PeriodicalId":43282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientometric Research","volume":" 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139197685","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}

{"title":"Factors that Influence How Scientific Articles and Reviews are Mentioned on Twitter","authors":"Pablo Dorta Gonzalez","doi":"10.5530/jscires.12.3.055","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5530/jscires.12.3.055","url":null,"abstract":"Governments are increasingly pushing researchers to engage in activities with societal impact, emphasizing the need for research dissemination and engagement with the broader public. This study addresses this imperative by investigating the multifaceted factors that influence social media attention, particularly on Twitter, for scientific research. Using Altmetric data and employing multiple linear regression analysis, this paper explores the determinants of Twitter mentions for research outputs. The study shows that certain factors have a significant impact on the level of engagement. In particular, the presence of research in mainstream news emerges as the most influential factor, highlighting the power of media coverage in increasing research visibility. In addition, research topics that align with highly topical issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, also garner significant attention on Twitter. Conversely, the influence of expert recommendations and the consolidation of knowledge in the form of review articles have a relatively weaker impact on Twitter mentions. In addition, this study underscores that public policy references in reports and citations within Wikipedia have limited influence in driving social media attention. Interestingly, mentions in patent applications do not have a significant impact in this context. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of research dissemination in the digital age and sheds light on the nuanced factors that can enhance or diminish its societal impact on Twitter.","PeriodicalId":43282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientometric Research","volume":"79 5-6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139205863","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}

But, the domain has still suffered from a lack of advice on how to design content boundaries as a methodological piece of a systematic review. Our study emphasizes this gap and examines the important piece of review studies in greater detail. Specifically, we provide a critical review of review studies published in leading three management journals (i.e., the International Journal of Management Reviews, the Academy of Management Annals, and the Journal of Management) between 2019 and 2022. Drawing on the methodological review, our research provides issues to acknowledge in the most crucial choices for the content boundary. In addition, our review clarifies three main components of the content boundary process: identification of content boundaries, searching for content boundaries, and confirmation of content boundaries. These components could be adopted as benchmark stages in future systematic review studies.","PeriodicalId":43282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientometric Research","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139198650","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 ST research primarily emerged and concentrated in global north countries, but the global south has witnessed significant development. A gap in the bibliometric analysis of evolution ST research and its geography is addressed. The questions are, how has ST research evolved over the years (1994 to 2021), and how has ST research evolution reflected the dynamics of geographies? The ST literature is examined from the Scopus citation database (from 1994 to 2021). Results suggest that the ST research evolved in the Lag phase (1994 to 2002) and growth phase (2002 to 2021) as an S curve in Science Policy studies. The western geography of Europe is the origin and significant contributor to the location of authors, collaboration, and receiving the highest citation of publications. China, Brazil, India and South Africa are major non-OECD leading countries in ST research. The Dutch ST research has witnessed the highest impact. Most of the journals on ST research are published in the UK, out top 20 journals in the world. The research support and more numbers of researchers have led to the dominance of European countries in ST research. Finally, the study suggests that global sustainability issues necessitate an inclusive and diverse approach to ST research, incorporating knowledge from the global south.","PeriodicalId":43282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientometric Research","volume":"434 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139204322","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}

Quality and Reliability Engineering International (QREI) has progressively evolved as one of the premier international outlets publishing on practical aspects of quality and reliability engineering. This is demonstrated by its publications, reaching 2978 articles (till search date) frequently cited in journals of international repute. QREI’s citations in Scopus reached 39,399 on the search date, and its h -index is 67. Our research aims to compile a bibliometric overview of QREI research articles with a focus on a novel analysis from the perspective of sustainable development. Using Excel, R, VOSviewer, and Gephi software, we analyzed the QREI’s bibliographic records in Scopus and presented an overview of its 37 years between 1985 and 2022. Among all the publications, “Multivariate statistical process control charts: An Overview” has received the highest citation (TC: 445). The United States dominates with 858 publications, while Beihang University features as its top-citing institution (TC: 370). Muhammad Riaz of “King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia” is the most prolific QREI author with 77 publications. Two hundred fifty-six articles are synchronous with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The top three SDGs are SDG9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), and SDG3 (Good Health and Well-being). Further, the worldwide collaboration patterns and most prominent and influential topics of QREI have also been analyzed to discover the scholarly base of QREI publications. As far as we know, this is the first comprehensive and objective analysis of QREI applying scientometric methods including the SDG mappings.","PeriodicalId":43282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientometric Research","volume":"268 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139204727","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}
