In this paper, we analyze CiteScores of the top 400 Scopus-indexed journals of 2021 for years from 2011 to 2021. Some interesting observations emerged from the analysis. The average CiteScore of the top 400 journals doubled from 16.48 in 2011 to 31.83 in 2021. At the same time, the standard deviation has almost trebled from 13.53 in 2011 to 38.18 in 2021. The CiteScores also show sizable increases for skewness and kurtosis, implying major variations in the CiteScores of the journals for a year. Importantly, the previous year’s CiteScores strongly predict the next year’s scores. This has been observed consistently for the last ten years. The average Pearson correlation coefficient between the preceding and succeeding years’ CiteScores for the ten years is 0.98. We also show that it is easily possible for even people with just basic knowledge of computers to forecast the CiteScore. Researchers can predict CiteScores based on the past year’s CiteScores and decide better about publishing their current research in a journal with an idea about its likely CiteScore. Such a forecast can be useful to publishers, editorial staff, indexing services, university authorities, and funding agencies.","PeriodicalId":43282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientometric Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80642455","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 data analysis the data analysis used Microsoft Office tools (excel and Access) to organize our data were used to organize our data: authors, institutions, journals, countries and thematic categories. It was completed with VOS Viewer 1.8.16 to generate a co-authorship network map of authors, and the development of base maps for collaboration by countries. We have identified the first Latin American publications in the journals Archivos de Biologia y Medicina Experimentales and Desarrollo Economico-Revista de Ciencias Sociales; this research field reached a consolidation in the 2000s with the opening of the first graduate programs in this geographical region; there is an extraordinary number of LA scholars active in this research field and an increasing number of academic institutions mainly from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Colombia; while the Asian and European production in this research field is about 30%, the respective LA contribution is just 4.9%. The present study attempts to document the progress of evolutionary computation in Latin America, an issue that has gained relevance for society, especially in recent years. No studies have been generated that cover the Latin American region, and therefore it is hoped that these findings will be useful for the development of scientific and public policies and also for other future work.","PeriodicalId":43282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientometric Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84211964","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}

Document recommendation systems are used by researchers as a means of accomplishing this goal. Textual content, collaborative filtering, and citation information-based approaches are among the proposed approaches for the recommendation systems. Content-based techniques take advantage of the entire text of papers and produce more promising results, but comparing input document text data to every document in the dataset is not practical for the content-based recommender system. This study looks into the possibility of using bibliographic data to reduce the number of comparisons. The proposed system is based on the assumption that two scientific papers are semantically connected if they are co-cited more frequently than by chance. The likelihood of co-citation, also known as semantic relatedness, can be used to quantify this connection. This work presents a new way to distribute the weight among connected scholarly documents based on a semantic relatedness score. Our proposed solution eliminates a substantial amount of needless text comparisons for the system by gathering scholarly document pairs with high likelihood values and using them as a search area for the content-based recommender system. By spreading the co-citation relationship out to certain distances, the proposed approach can find relevant documents that are not found by traditional co-citation searches. The results reveal that the system is capable of reducing computations by a significant margin and of detecting false positive situations in content comparison using Doc2vec.","PeriodicalId":43282,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientometric Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85691159","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}
