Journals, regardless of their quality, may facilitate the publication of studies of affiliated authors or those of researchers in their close networks, this exhibiting biased behaviors in favor of insider researchers during peer review. The aim of this research was to determine insider authors' motivations for obtaining high and fast rates of acceptance of studies published by their affiliated institutions. A total of 11 Turkish dentistry journals with regular publishing schedules between 2017 and 2021 were examined. The publication language of the papers was either English or Turkish, and the papers were of four groups: original articles, reviews, case reports, and short communications. The submission date, acceptance date, and time from submission to acceptance of each paper were examined. The number of authors and the corresponding authors' countries of origin were noted, and the papers were analyzed to determine whether the researchers were insiders. The findings show that insider authors both publish in large numbers in their affiliated universities' journals (15.6% - 65.0%) and have significantly faster speeds (up to 82 days). The average time from submission to acceptance significantly differed for insider and outsider researchers in all journals except four. As in most areas of the health sciences, dentistry also lacks research on bias and the literature contains no study examining this issue in the field of dentistry both in Turkey and in the world. This study invokes a new discussion in this area by focusing on national dentistry journals and the bias inherent in editorial attitudes. In the future studies, it would be better to compare data on insiders and outsiders by incorporating both national and international dentistry papers in the future studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This study dwells on the coverage of altmetric indicators in the Mendeley reference manager, citations in the Crossref platform, and the correlations between readers and citations of papers by researchers working in Brazil, according to different fields and subfields of knowledge. Design/Methodology/Approach: We analyzed 152,727 scientific papers published between 2017-2018 by researchers working in Brazil. Findings: The coverage of Brazilian papers by Mendeley is relatively high (87.91%) and 63% of Brazilian papers had citations in Crossref. In the Brazilian context, Mendeley readership is relatively high (average R² reaching 70% in some areas). Originality/Value: The correlation between readers in Mendeley and citations in Crossref of Brazilian scientific output is between moderate and high. This indicates that Mendeley and Crossref data can be relevant for evaluating Brazilian science. The data reveal that Mendeley readership can, in many fields, predict citations. These data are generally higher and mor homogeneous than those found in the international researches. The scientific communication of international context (based on international journals) and Brazilian (heavily published in national open access journals) and the information sources used in the studies may partly explain the differences between them.

The literature recommendation system addresses the issue of time-consuming literature searches for researchers. A scholarly literature recommendation system recommends related papers to the user's search query. Systems can improve the precision of user queries by generating relevant keywords. The proposed approach aimed to recommend research papers that align with the user's interests by analyzing the query and returning a set of relevant papers. By pulling relevant keyphrases from the keyphrase networks, this was possible. A novel hybrid approach was introduced, which combined co-occurrence and co-citation networks based on their unique connections. This hybrid method improved performance by making the user's query bigger and giving each keyphrase in the query set a certain amount of weight. The combination of co-citation and co-occurrence relations in the proposed method was able to capture co-occurring keyphrases with semantically similar keyphrases to the user's query. The results showed that when the top 40 or 50 articles were chosen for the user's query, the results were more relevant because the proposed method could capture more aspects of the user's query than traditional single network-based methods.

This study critically examines the publications that appeared in the inaugural eleven volumes of Journal of Scientometric Research (JSciRes). The journal publishes 324 research communications under ten categories along with 16 editorials and 60 book reviews. Analysis of research communications shows that diversity plays the pivotal role in the evolution of the journal. Diversity of not only contributing authors but also of citing authors and their institutional and geographical affiliations is quite high for the journal. Visualization of topics appeared in it and analysis of topical trends reveals that it covers almost the entire spectrum of scientometric and bibliometric research with a shift towards innovation and policy studies. As the field of scientometric study is changing very dynamically, it has been found that the journal has given preference to cover contemporary topics more aggressively to reach out to the community at large. Dedicated two Special issues on Latin America and Africa is a positive shift in this direction. Special thematic issues on contemporary topics and scholars publishing in them from North as well as South economies can address some of the imbalances and skewness observed. Moreover, engagement of prominent scholars as contributing authors or citers along with gradually increasing citation oeuvre of the journal ascertained scholarly authority of the journal. The journal, thus, has gradually been seen as an incubator of emerging ideas in its discipline despite having originated in Global south having poor geographies of research infrastructures.

The study of income inequality provides a relevant context for understanding the diversity of findings related to policies, taxes, and gender. This bibliometric study analyzed income inequality concerning current policy structures, taxes, and gender found in the literature. The global publications addressing income inequality published between (1961 - 2021) increased in the 1990's. The production of scientific research increased steadily over time and by 2021, the number of articles grew exponentially by over 1000%. Data were collected using bibliometric tools, whereby the most productive countries, institutions, and journals were identified and mapped to the tendencies of productivity and concentration indexes. Using keywords and reference searching approaches, the resulting algorithm retrieved 16,376 scholarly articles from Scopus and World Inequality Databases. Data were mapped and the scientific analysis, yielded valuable insights into the impact of economic policies, taxes, and gender on income inequality. Our results are consistent with existing research, showing that developed countries had the highest productivity in terms of publications related to income disparity. Additionally, the data revealed that the most cited researchers were domiciled in the United States from predominantly Ivy League, or Carnegie classified Tier 1 institutions. Finally, this research is significant in the sense that it broadens the knowledge in the topic of income inequality by emphasizing the relevance of the development, authorship and domicile of the existing studies in the topic. The relevance lies in that these studies are often used as the basis for the design and implementation of government procedures, fiscal strategies, and policies that aim to reduce the income gender gap. The resulting outcome of this bibliometric paper should be considered by policy makers, institutions of higher education, universities, colleges, and libraries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research output can be evaluated with productivity and impact, which are quantified by the numbers of publications (N) and citations Nc, 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 (QN and QC) 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 (Q1=QN/QC) and a reduced index (Q2=(QNQC)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).

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a common and extensively researched condition, and treatment modalities are continuously being developed and improved. Although the literature on ARDS treatment is vast, only one prior bibliographic analysis of trends in this area has been published. Objective We aimed to systematically evaluate the literature on ARDS treatments published between 2000 and 2019 from the perspective of bibliometrics. Research design and methods: Literature retrieval was performed in PubMed and in Web of Science Core Collection. Studies were analyzed by publication and temporal trends. CiteSpace was used to perform Co-occurrence analysis for institutions and reference co-citation analysis for research topics. Burst keyword detection was used to predict future areas of research interest in the field. Findings: A total of 13,933 articles were retrieved. The journal Critical Care Medicine published the largest number of articles (956, 6.86%). The University of Toronto was affiliated with the most publications (574, 4.28%) and had the highest degree of betweenness centrality, indicating extensive inter-institution collaboration. The papers on ARDS treatment published between 2000 and 2019 were grouped into 10 major clusters, three of which indicated recent activity (“acute lung injury,” “long-term outcome,” and “extracorporeal membrane oxygenation”). Fifteen burst keywords/terms were identified, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, meta-analysis, and oxidative stress. Implications: On the basis of the literature published in the preceding 20 years, the study of ARDS treatment is an ongoing concern. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was an active focus of research in this field. It and oxidative stress are likely to become major topics of research interest in the near future. Meta-analysis will be a popular method in analyzing the efficacy of ARDS treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Independent Researchers (IRs), namely unaffiliated or voluntary researchers, are a small yet important and distinct population of contributors to scholarly discourse. Due to their small number, IRs rarely receive attention in debates regarding scholarly publishing but the distinctiveness of the unaffiliated researchers warrants further examination. Documents were extracted from the Web of Science. Bibliometric parameters were as follows: main scientometric characteristics, citations analysis, publishing trends, geographical distributions, most productive countries, co-authorship network of countries, top funding sources, research areas, keyword co-occurrence network, top cited publications, top productive journals and gender of IRs. 3357 documents were retrieved that were individually or collaboratively authored by 3784 IRs from 1980-2021. There were 589 single-authored documents. More than 70% of documents were research articles, followed by meeting abstracts (8.66%). All documents received 52279 citations, with 19.45 average citations per document. Private Practice was the most affiliation format of IRs. Publications started to grow since 2000, with almost 40% of them published from 2017-2021. The United States published almost half of all IRs-related publications. Most of the research funding was primarily contributed by government agencies, with the United States being a major player in this regard. Also, many IRs are active in medical disciplines research, and are highly collaborative, often with multiple Co-authors. 33.5% of IRs authors were women and 66.5% were men. This understanding of IRs illustrates the importance of this group and encourages further research and support for this population of science contributors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Sustainability Transitions (ST) research has emerged as a promising approach to addressing climate change-led uncertainty. 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scientometrics indicators vary widely across subareas of the Computer Science (CS) discipline. Most researchers have previously analyzed scientometrics data specific to a particular subfield or a few subfields. More popular subareas lead to high scientometrics, and others have lower values. This work considers seven diversified CS subareas and six commonly used scientometrics indicators. First, we study the varying range of chosen scientometrics indicators of various subareas of the CS discipline. We explore the correlation patterns of these six indicators. Then, we consider a few combinations of these indicators and apply K-means clustering to decompose the pattern space. Correlation findings indicate that though the highly correlated indicators vary for most subfields, no single indicator can be considered equally suitable for all the subareas. The K-means clustering results show distinctive patterns across subfields, which are stable across K. The clustered subfield-specific indicators are quite distinct across subfields. This knowledge can be used as a signature for partitioning the subarea-specific indicators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

University patent filings have increased worldwide over the years. However, in addition to quantity, it is important to evaluate the quality of these patents. Some studies have addressed this issue, but most of them are limited to analyzing a single or few quality indicators applied in specific areas. The literature on the subject is fragmented, so it is important to summarize this content and generate a systematized knowledge. In order to reduce this gap in the literature, this article focuses on University Patent Quality Indicators (UPQI) aiming to identify the metrics that have been used to evaluate the quality of these documents. Based on a bibliometric and systematic review, the study presents bibliometric indicators, scientific collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence, and bibliographic coupling, as well as quality indicators found in the literature. The survey of publications was conducted on the Web of Science database. Out of a total of 760 articles, 68 were selected to present research in the field of UPQI. The results show an organized set of metrics and other information that can be used by managers, researchers and funding agencies to guide policies and decision-making that contribute to promoting technological development and partnerships with the productive sector.

There has been a significant increase in the number of studies on higher education over the years. Higher education research has changed in terms of quantity and quality over time. However, there is a lack of a holistic study on higher education research. The purpose of this research study is to examine the higher education literature holistically based on the top 15 journals addressing higher education, to examine the contribution to the field on the basis of a particular journal, institution and country, and to discover the patterns of the higher education literature. For this purpose, bibliometric analysis was carried out with 19685 publications obtained from the Web of Science covering the years 1956-2022. According to the findings of the study, higher education literature has shown a growth trend. This growth has accelerated significantly in the last two decades. The largest contribution to the literature was made by the "Journal of College Student Development". In the higher education literature, the USA has pulled ahead of 120 countries demonstrated by a significant margin and has become the dominant of the higher education literature. The main themes of higher education literature are (1) assessment, (2) internationalization, (3) equity and social justice, (4) university, and (5) pedagogy/academic writing/curriculum. The countries with the most collaboration among 120 countries are USA, UK, and Australia, respectively.

In this study, we conducted an in-depth analysis spanning 53 years, from 1969 to 2021, focusing on the field of literacy studies within the context of libraries. Our exploration involved a dataset of 4,986 articles retrieved from the Scopus database. Our primary objective was to visualize knowledge by identifying and exploring prominent trends and hotspots in literacy studies. To achieve this, we adopted a comprehensive approach. The methodology employed in this study combined traditional approaches with contemporary tools. The dataset was analyzed using the R software for conventional methodologies, while MATLAB was utilized for cutting-edge techniques. The multifaceted approach allowed us to uncover patterns of continuous growth, identify key contributors, and employ the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model to recognize emerging and significant topics. The study revealed a consistent pattern of continuous growth in the field of literacy studies, indicating the acquisition of new knowledge over time. Key contributors, including productive authors, influential journals, and active countries, were identified. The application of the LDA model enabled us to recognize newly emerged, developed, and important topics. The significance of this research lies in its contribution to understanding the dynamic landscape of literacy studies within library contexts, offering valuable insights for future research and practical applications in the field.

In recent years, there has been widespread interest in the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to the financial sector and in the development of new financial products and services. AI methods are widely regarded as the most important methods in the emerging market for providing not only cutting-edge financial services, but also an innovative approach to business process automation, a solution to the challenges of reducing service costs associated with managing low-income and rural customers and a method of identifying and evaluating the creditworthiness of those customers. No clear reviews are identified in the areas of AI and its contribution to Financial Innovations (FI) research in finance. To address the above gap, the present study provides a systematic literature review and bibliometric view of AI and FI research in finance. Co-citation, co-occurrence and bibliographic coupling analysis techniques are being used to make inferences about the structure of AI and FI research in finance from 1987 to 2022. The study used 237 filtered research articles from the Scopus database and processed through VOS-Viewer and Biblioshiny through "R" to justify study objectives. Through bibliometric analysis, this study unveils influential authors, journals and institutions, emphasizing top-cited research articles and unveiling six emerging thematic clusters. The novelty lies in the identification of prominent keywords linked to AI and financial innovation research, accompanied by a comprehensive analysis of globally and locally cited articles. Employing an analytical approach, the study identifies research gaps to contribute to the existing body of knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have the potential to (re)shape the urban transportation network drastically. The significant investment by the automotive industry and leading technology companies in AVs has resulted in a substantial surge in the number of published documents in this domain. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the current state and trajectory of AVs research by conducting a comprehensive review of the available literature. The study employs scientometric methods to examine the scientific landscape of AVs and assess the position of Urban Transportation Planning (UTP) within this context. The analysis encompasses both a macro-level perspective and a meso-level focus on UTP, utilizing datasets of journal articles published up to January 2023. The study addresses various questions such as identifying the main research trends, evaluating the impact and influence of countries and sources, determining the collaboration level among different countries, and assessing the maturity of AVs domain in the field of UTP. To accomplish this, the study analyzes the conceptual, intellectual, and social landscapes of AVs from both a holistic and macro-level perspective, as well as from the UTP perspective in a meso-level. The findings highlight a significant disparity between attention on AVs' UTP aspect and their technical advancement, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive research to fully comprehend the implications of AVs deployment from the UTP perspective. The comprehensive understanding of the literature gained from this study will enable scholars to identify research gaps, necessities, and potential avenues for future research.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) applications have expanded to many areas. Whereas review articles portray the current state of knowledge on AM, scientometric studies identify relevant areas, principal authors, trends, and primary contributing sources from a quantitative perspective. Analysis of the AM still needed to comprise numerous scientific documents and include qualitative criteria. Using a vast number of published documents on AM, we propose a systemized approach to explore AM conceptual subsystems and their historical development. We applied our method to 68,676 records published between 1990 and 2021 in the Web of Science based on revised AM historical terms to prevent including documents unrelated to the subject matter. From a temporal perspective, statistical analysis revealed an explainable change in the AM research trend in 2008. A qualitative study of bibliometric maps obtained with the VOSviewer software led us to determine thirteen conceptual subsystems on AM, whose time development also clarified the history of the whole discipline. These conceptual subsystems distribute in four main publication source clusters, whose leading contributing countries are also reported. Restricting this methodology to specific AM conceptual subsystems or extending it to other knowledge areas is straightforward. Besides, the interactive bibliometric maps, accessible online, enable users to explore the AM conceptual system and find the most cited publications for a better depiction of the current state of knowledge on AM in its different areas.

To offer new insights into relevant concepts, approaches, and theories, a systematic literature review is considered a common phenomenon in today's management field. 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This quantitative bibliometric research measures the efficiency of investment in R&D for the 17 more relevant countries investing in R&D through a novel indicator based on the number of scientific articles (associated with stock markets), produced for every 1% of investment in R&D in terms of GDP. The study is justified by the need to deepen the relationship between investment in R&D and economic growth, and was conducted for developed and emerging countries separately, so that the understanding of which countries or regions' investment in R&D and its consequent scientific production has the greatest impact over the size of their economies through innovation. Our findings indicate clearly that R&D investment strongly correlates to the economy's size of the studied countries. In addition to finding our novel indicator statistically significant with respect to economic growth through a series of multiple linear regressions and proposing economic growth not statically, but as a dynamic cumulative effect over time, this becomes more relevant for emerging countries (represented in this study by China, Brazil, India, Russia and Turkey, or BRIC + Turkey) compared to developed ones, which decants into an opportunity for scholars and particularly governments to design or restructure their R&D policies towards innovation.

This article analyses the evolution of the most-used terms referring to the (broad) field of bibliometrics. It compares the number of publications on bibliometrics, scientometrics, informetrics, web(o)metrics, altmetrics, and the science of science, in three international databases, the Web of Science, Scopus, and Dimensions. We found that the relative number of documents using one of the metrics-related terms is showing a more than exponential increase. This illustrates the increasing importance of metrics in the world of science. While most terms separately show a clear increase in use, web(o)metrics and perhaps, informetrics, seem to have reached their top. Bibliometrics and scientometrics are the most-used terms, with, nowadays, the term bibliometrics being used about five times more than the term scientometrics. Any comprehensive bibliometric study should make use of a combination of related keywords to cover the whole field of study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In search of evidence for Wikipedia credibility, this study aims to compare and analyze articles’ references of Wikipedia and Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. This research approach is quantitative and has been done using bibliometric methods and citation analysis. The statistical sample of the research were 5% of the SEP entries (84 from 1685) and their equals on Wikipedia. The samples were selected randomly and systematically, then their references were analyzed and compared. The findings showed that the frequency of SEP references was about 3.5 times more than Wikipedia. The overlap of two encyclopedia's references was 2.47% of the total references. The half-life of the SEP references was significantly longer than Wikipedia. In both encyclopedias, the main resources which were used included books, journals, and websites. Regarding language of references, most of the references of both encyclopedias was in English, and citations to other language resources in both encyclopedias were almost similar. The percentage of open access and inaccessible resources on Wikipedia was higher than the SEP, while the percentage of non-open access references in the SEP was higher than Wikipedia. Finally, a comparison of the citations received by the two encyclopedia articles’ references showed that the citations received by Wikipedia references were significantly higher than SEP. This article compares the similarity of two known encyclopedias through comparison of their entities' references. Despite the similarities in the referencing pattern of the two encyclopedias, their information content comes from different resources and comparison articles’ references of Wikipedia with SEP provide no evidence for Wikipedia's credibility.
