Purpose: Despite the feminization of the medical profession, the academic world remains largely male-dominated. Several studies conducted in the English-speaking world have shown that women are published less than men. Our goal is to define the evolution of the role of women in five French medical journals., Materials and Methods: The articles from five French journals (Revue du Praticien, Bulletin du Cancer, Exercer, Presse Médicale, Cancer/Radiothérapie) published in February between 1983 and 2019 were included. We selected twelve years from that period of time. The analysis was completed using Cochran-Armitage tests with a significance level of<0,05. Among the authors, 4397 were included in total and we were able to determine the gender of 4309 of them., Results: The percentage of female authors went from 16% in 1983 to 36.4% in 2019 (p<0.001). This rise is more significant for those specializing in surgery than for those specializing in medicine, with a percentage going from 14% to 38.5% (p<0.001) against 16.8% to 35.4% (p<0.001) respectively. In 2019, women still only represent 30.2% of the last authors, 27.6% of editorial authors and 30.6% of corresponding authors., Conclusion: Our study underlines a significant increase in the number of female authors and highlights that their position as authors remains on the margins of the most prestigious authorial positions. While we can celebrate this increase, we nevertheless notice that there are fewer female authors than female practitioners., (Copyright © 2022 Société française de radiothérapie oncologique (SFRO).

Objectives: To study the quantitative evolution of research in suicidology in France for 30 years., Methods: Analysis of the Web of Science database; identification of publications between 1989 and 2018 with at least one author with an affiliation in France and focusing on suicidal behavior and self-inflicted acts., Results: In total, 1188 publications were identified. Over 30 years, the number of publications has been multiplied by 8.8 (particularly since 2005), a growth higher than those published in psychiatry and science in France, and in suicidology worldwide. France has contributed 3.3% of global publications since 2014 (ranks 8th in the world, recently outnumbered by South Korea and China) and 10.6% of European publications (ranks 3rd after the United Kingdom and Germany). The number of international co-publications has risen sharply over the last 30 years (44.9% between 2014 and 2018), notably with the USA, Canada and Spain. Use of English has increased from 37 to 78% of publications. Inserm, and the Universities and Academic hospitals of Paris and Montpellier are among the first institutions in terms of number of publications. Twenty-one of the 30 most published authors are men. The mention of the origin of the financing of the publications is increasing but remains limited., Conclusion: Suicidology has been a dynamic field of research in France for the last fifteen years, with a growing international visibility, but there is also room for improvement. An effort remains to be made to improve women's place in these publications., (Copyright © 2020 L'Encéphale, Paris. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

Objectives: Evaluate the level of knowledge and perceptions of French and Quebec hospital's pharmacists/residents about bibliometrics indicators applied in pharmacy. Identify the determinants associated with this knowledge., Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. An anonymous questionnaire of 17 questions answers was developed. The questionnaire was published on the SurveyMonkey site (www.SurveyMonkey.com, SurveyMonkey, Portland, OR, USA) and released from March 19 to April 9, 2018. We calculated and compared the proportion of respondents in Quebec and France by using a Chi 2 test. A value less than 0.05 is considered statistically significant., Results: A total of 899 pharmacists (646 in Quebec and 253 in France) and 147 residents (70 in Quebec and 77 in France) were contacted by email. The survey was completed by 401 respondents, e.g., 301 in Quebec (participation rate: 42%) and 100 in France (30%). Overall 26% (106/401) of respondents (67/301 in Quebec vs. 39/100 in France) reported having knowledge or good knowledge of those indicators. These data are corroborated by many other results., Conclusions: Small proportions are aware of those indicators. A good knowledge is associated with being a French pharmacist, working in a teaching hospital or university, having a professional experience of 10 years or more, be involved in a research project, having a scientific watch or having an online profile on database. It appears necessary to inform pharmacists and residents on notoriety indicators., (Copyright © 2018 Académie Nationale de Pharmacie. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

Background.: The use of bibliometrics to evaluate the quality and impact of refereed journals has increased along with access to electronic databases and citation counts., Purpose.: This analysis compared and contrasted the range of publication metrics available for English-language occupational therapy journals., Method.: Bibliometric data were sourced for 23 English-language occupational therapy journals, including data from the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2- and 5-year impact factor, JCR Immediacy Index, Eigenfactor Score, Article Influence Score, Scopus Source Normalized Impact per Paper, SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) score, and ResearchGate journal impact score. H-indexes for journals were also sourced., Findings.: The American Journal of Occupational Therapy had the highest publication metrics. SJR-based scores included a larger number of journals, whereas JCR-based metrics were more restrictive in the number of journals included., Implications.: Multiple metrics should be used to comprehensively understand occupational therapy journal performance.

There are several indicators to evaluate the impact of the scientific publication in pharmacy. Given their number, complexity, heterogeneity, strengths and weaknesses, we believe that pharmacists are not sufficiently familiar with these indicators. The main objective is to present an inventory of available indicator to measure the research impact. PubMed, GoogleScholar and Google were interviewed in October 2017 from the following terms: bibliométrique/bibliometrics, facteur d'impact/impact factor, impact de citations/citation impact, revue/journal, chercheur/researcher, article, indicateur/indicator, score. For each identified indicator, the following variables were extracted: name, calculation method, calculation time window, data sources considered, access conditions, inclusion of self-citation, strengths and weaknesses. A total of 15 indicators were included: seven for journals, four for researchers and four for articles. Among them two are non-bibliometric indicators: the Altmetric attention score, the RGscore and one other indicator deriving from the impact factor: the SIGAPS indicator developed to finance the research activity of French hospitals. Of the 12 bibliometric indicators, nine include self-citation. All involve forces (e.g. exclusion of editorials, letters, free access) and weaknesses (e.g. self-citations included, time window too short, disciplinary indistinction). There is no indicator with no weaknesses and pharmacists should be able to understand their strengths and weaknesses., (Copyright © 2018 Académie Nationale de Pharmacie.

Background: The frequency of publications by nursing scientists from the German-speaking area in journals with a high impact factor is an indicator for participation of the discipline in the international discourse. Previous publication analyses focused on nursing science journals only and regularly found an underrepresentation of experimental studies and clinical topics. Aim: To identify and analyse the number of publications by nursing scientists from Germany, Austria and German-speaking Switzerland in international high impact journals. Method: The Journal Citation Reports were used to identify nursing relevant categories of journals in which the highest 10 % of the years 2010 to 2014 were selected according to the 5-year Impact Factor. Inclusion of publications and data extraction were carried out by two independent persons. Results: 106939 publications from 126 journals were screened; 100 publications were identified with 229 contributions by 114 nursing scientists. 42 % of studies are observational and 11 % are experimental. The majority of studies are clinically oriented (55 %). More than 50 % have been published in the past two years. Conclusions: The number of publications by nursing scientists from the German-speaking countries in High Impact Journals is low. There is an increase throughout the observation period. In opposite to former analyses a higher proportion of clinical research has been found.

This article presents a bibliometric study carried out in order to describe the trends and evolutions of French breast cancer research from 2003 to 2013. The results show an increase in the number of publications, especially international publications coordinated by non-French institutions. The most visible topics, in terms of number of publications by keywords, are related to biology, clinical trials and genetics. Most publications are written by authors affiliated to comprehensive cancer centres, followed by universities, research centres, university hospitals and governmental agencies. The importance of publications by topic varies throughout the years: there has been an increase of the number of publications related to targeted therapies or genomics. The importance of institutions or country affiliation of authors varies with the topics. This study, especially the analysis by keywords, enables the coordinators of research programs to identify the predominant actors and themes., (Copyright © 2015 Société Française du Cancer.

Background: Collaborations are an essential element of scientific activity and particularly important in fields such as pediatric anesthesiology, where the evidence base in general is relatively limited. A recent scientometric analysis revealed a geographic diversification of publication activity in pediatric anesthesiology within the last two decades, accompanied by a surge in international collaborations. Objectives: Given the hypothesis of a similar growth in the activity and dynamics of publications in pediatric anesthesiology, the objective of this scientometric study was to analyze the publication activity and collaboration habits in research in pediatric anesthesiology from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (D-A-CH). Method: This secondary analysis identified all publications on pediatric anesthesiology with an affiliation from the D‑A-CH countries between 2001 and 2020 from PubMed and Web of Science. The query parameters included the timeframe 2001–2020, authors' affiliations tied to anesthesiology departments (using various forms of the term "anesthesia"), and the mention of pediatric interest in titles or abstracts. The data underwent standardization to account for linguistic variations. The publications were assigned to a state, city and institution based on the correspondence address, to a year based on the publication date and to a source based on the journal. The primary endpoint was publication activity and dynamics, represented by the number of publications and the respective growth rates (calculated as the linear regression slope). Secondary endpoints included the share of collaborations within and outside the D‑A-CH region (at the country and institutional level), the distribution of publication activity and the most prominent sources of publications. Results: Between 2001 and 2020 a total of 3406 publications on pediatric anesthesiology involving authors from the D‑A-CH countries were identified. Of these 2807 (82.4%) had a correspondence address in D‑A-CH. The average annual growth rate of publications with a correspondence address was + 2.9% for the D‑A-CH countries and + 7.7% for publications with collaborations. The number of publications in which an institution from D‑A-CH was named as a coauthor from a correspondence address outside D‑A-CH also increased by an average of 7.4% per year during the study period. The majority of collaborations occurred between institutions within the D‑A-CH region, although Swiss institutions exhibited a much higher proportion of collaborations outside the region. Of all publications with a correspondence address 90% originated from 46 cities. The most prominent source was Die Anästhesiologie for publications from Germany, and Pediatric Anesthesia for publications from Austria and Switzerland. Conclusion: The number of publications in pediatric anesthesiology from the D‑A-CH countries has increased over the past two decades, accompanied by a surge in collaborations. It is hoped that increased collaboration will contribute to a higher level of evidence in pediatric anesthesiology care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 41st Problem Conference of Medical Libraries in Szczecin 2024 "Artificial intelligence and medical libraries – are we on the verge of a transformation?" ("Sztuczna inteligencja a biblioteki medyczne – czy jesteśmy u progu transformacji?" XLI Konferencja Problemowa Bibliotek Medycznych) focused on the use of artificial intelligence to optimize established and develop new library services and work processes. In addition to efficiency gains through AI, the potential for innovative teaching and marketing strategies was highlighted, while critical voices warned against unrealistic expectations. The author of the conference report sees structural differences in the comparison between libraries in Poland and in the DACH region, but emphasizes the common challenges that providers of information services face today in order to keep pace with the rapid development in the field of AI.

Hydrogeomorphology studies river dynamics, focusing on the interactions between flow structure, sediment transport, and the morphologies that characterize rivers and their watersheds. It provides an analytical framework and tools for better integrating knowledge of river dynamics into river management in the broadest sense, and more specifically, into river restoration as well as into the assessment and prevention of risks associated with fluvial hazards. In Quebec, hydrogeomorphology is emerging as a significant contribution to risk assessment and management approaches, and is at the heart of a paradigm shift in river management whereby process restoration aims to increase the resilience of fluvial systems and societies, and improve the quality of fluvial environments. This contribution outlines the trajectory of hydrogeomorphology in Quebec, based on scientific publications by Quebec geographers, and discusses the discipline's aims in research and knowledge integration for river management. Messages clés: Les géographes du Québec ont contribué fortement au développement des connaissances et outils de l'hydrogéomorphologie.L'hydrogéomorphologie a évolué d'une science fondamentale à une science où les connaissances fondamentales sont au service de la gestion des cours d'eau.L'hydrogéomorphologie et le cortège de connaissances et d'outils qu'elle promeut font de cette discipline une partenaire clé pour une gestion holistique des cours d'eau.

The aim of this research was to investigate the profile and characteristics of the scientific output published in the Max Planck Institute's journal Ius Commune between 1967 and 2001. Bibliometric techniques were used, with a predominantly quantitative approach. The research universe consisted of all the articles published in all the editions of this journal. The bibliometric indicators measured were a total of 28 editions, 285 articles, 163 authors, 26 female authors, 22 nationalities and nine languages. The author who published the most in the journal was Johannes-Michael Scholz, with 19 articles. The nationality with the highest number of authors in the journal is German. The results show an overview of the topics covered and the authors, nationalities and languages that have contributed to the journal Ius Commune. A discussion of the results of this research concludes the importance of the journal Ius Commune for the diffusion, dissemination and socialization of scientific production on legal topics and for the formation of a legal conceptual framework for European unification.

The 28th International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators (STI) took place from September 18 to 20, 2024 in Berlin. The conference was organized by Fraunhofer ISI, Humboldt University of Berlin, and the German Center for Higher Education and Science Studies (DZHW) in collaboration with the European Network of Indicator Developers (ENID). One focus was on open science practices and bibliometric measurement, discussed in various sessions and presentations, such as by Fernanda Beigel on "inclusive openness". Projects such as OpenAlex, the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information, and the GLOBAL project were also presented and discussed to promote openness in research. The next conference, the 29th International Conference on STI, will take place in 2025 in Bristol, England. [Extracted from the article]

Technischer Wandel ermöglicht Open Access wie auch Unabhängigkeit von etablierten Verlagen. Dies wiederum wirft Fragen zur verantwortungsvollen Herausgeberschaft auf: Was bedeutet Unabhängigkeit in Bezug auf Kernthemen wie Gestaltung der Qualitätssicherung, Umgang mit Bibliometrie, allen voran dem Journal Impact Factor, und Sichtbarkeit? In diesem Artikel werden Ergebnisse einer empirischen Studie zur Verantwortung der Herausgeberschaft in der Medizin und Philosophie vorgestellt und diskutiert. Sie deuten zur kritischen Rolle von Bibliotheken in der Publikationsberatung. Technical advances enable open access as well as independence from established publishers. This results questions of responsible editorship. What does independence mean in terms of the design of quality assurance processes, handling of bibliometrics, foremost the Journal Impact Factor, or visibility? This article showcases and critically reflects the findings of an empirical study on the responsibility of editorship in medicine and philosophy. They point towards the critical role of libraries with their publishing consultation services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines the Canadian information research landscape through the lens of the eight academic units hosting ALA-accredited programs. We created a citation-based network utilizing the scholarly articles published by the faculty members and PhD students at each academic unit to identify and characterize distinct research clusters within the field. Then we determined how the publications and researchers from each unit are distributed across the clusters to describe their area of specialization. Our findings emphasize how the inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary nature of the Canadian information research landscape forms a rich mosaic of information scholarship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates the use of institutional repositories for self-archiving peerreviewed work in the U15 (an association of fifteen Canadian research-intensive universities). It relates usage with university open access (OA) policy types and publisher policy embargoes. We show that of all articles found in OpenAlex attributed to U15 researchers, 45.1 to 56.6% are available as Gold or Green OA, yet only 0.5 to 10.7% (mean 4.2%) of these can be found on their respective U15 IRs. Our investigation shows a lack of OA policies from most institutions, journal policies with embargoes exceeding 12 months, and incomplete policy information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In diesem Artikel soll gezeigt werden, dass Bibliothekar*innen heutzutage ein verlässliches Instrument in der Hand haben, um auf einen Blick den „Marktwert" eines in Buchform publizierten wissenschaftlichen Gesamtwerkes einzuschätzen. Dieses hier diskutierte und getestete Instrument ist „WorldCat Identities", ein frei zugängliches bibliometrisches Instrument von OCLC WorldCat, das heute in der szientometrischen und bibliometrischen Literatur schon als geeignete Messskala für den Einfluss eines Gesamtwerkes benutzt wird. Gerade für die Geisteswissenschaften und die kontinentaleuropäischen Sozialwissenschaften, wo Zeitschriftenaufsätze noch nicht jene überragende Rolle in der Einschätzung einer wissenschaftlichen Leistung spielen, bietet dieses System ungeahnte und für die Bibliothekswissenschaft strategische Möglichkeiten, sich bei der Objektivierung der Beurteilung der Bedeutung eines Gesamtwerkes einzubringen. Der Beitrag stellt allgemeine Aspekte des Systems „WorldCat Identities" vor und diskutiert anschließend die Anwendung in der Politikwissenschaft. Grundlage ist ein Sample von über 100 habilitierten österreichischen Politikwissenschaftler*innen und Preisträger*innen des Skytte-Preises. The article argues that librarians today have a reliable tool at hand to assess the "market value" of a body of scholarly work published in book form at one glance. "WorldCat Identities" is a freely available bibliometric tool under OCLC WorldCat already used for scientometric and bibliometric literature as an apt instrument to measure the global influence of complete works. Humanities and continental European social sciences, where journal papers do not (yet) play a major role in assessing the academic performance and achievement of researchers, could particularly benefit from this system, which, from the perspective of library science also offers an amazing strategic opportunity to get involved in assessing the importance of a body of work more objectively. The paper introduces general aspects of the "WorldCat Identities" system and discusses its application in political science contexts, based on a sample of more than 100 habilitated Austrian political scientists and laureates of the Skytte Prize.

Bibliometrics is a current topic in many libraries. It is often associated with many questions, which are also repeated from time to time. In this article, the two authors have identified the 10 most frequently asked questions and try to answer them in separate and independent sections. They address questions about data providers such as Web of Science, Scopus and Dimensions, but also PubMed, ArXiv, EconBiz, as well as bibliometric indicators such as the Journal Impact Factor (JIF), CiteScore (CS), Scimago Journal Rank (SJR), Source Normalized Impact per paper (SNIP). However, spotlights will also be put on related topics such as Open Access and Altmetrics e. g. Altmetric.com, Plum Metric and Article-Level-Metric (ALM). The organizational embedding, the question of how culture-changing topics affect science management and libraries as well as the aspect that libraries should take on an expert function on these data-driven topics complete the article.

This article explores the extent to which institutional services for bibliometrics and open access at German universities relate to each other. Although recent science policies note an increasing role of data-driven decision making around open access, only a few universities make use of bibliometrics as part of their open access services. While bibliometrics services increasingly reflect ethical aspects in terms of responsible use, problematic examples can be found. Institutional activities to monitor open access benefit from standardized and networked research information as well as from collaboration within a university network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the popularity, web traffic, bibliometrics, and text mining related to monitoring platforms, using tools like Google Trends and Alexa to assess global search trends and web traffic for platforms such as Meltwater, Talkwalker, and Brandwatch. It also examines the bibliometric data from Google Scholar, providing insights into the scientific publications referencing monitoring platforms.

Der Beitrag soll zeigen, welche fortgeschrittenen bibliometrischen und szientometrischen Daten für ein bewährtes Sample von 104 österreichischen Politikwissenschaftler*innen und 51 transnationalen Verlagsunternehmen enge statistische Beziehungen zwischen Indikatoren der Präsenz von Wissenschaftler*innen und transnationalen Verlagsunternehmen in den akademischen Lehrveranstaltungen der Welt (Classroom Citation, gemessen mit Open Syllabus) und anderen, herkömmlicheren bibliometrischen und szientometrischen Indikatoren (Libcitation gemessen mit dem OCLC Worldcat, sowie der H-Index der Zitierung in den vom System Scopus erfassten Fachzeitschriften der Welt bzw. dem Book Citation Index) bestehen. Die statistischen Berechnungen zeigen, basierend auf den Faktorenanalysen, die engen statistischen Beziehungen zwischen diesen Dimensionen. Diese Ergebnisse sind insbesondere in den Tabellen 5 und 9 dieser Arbeit (Komponentenkorrelationen) ableitbar. Die multivariaten Rankings, die auf den mit den Eigenwerten gewichteten Factorscores beruhen, zeigen in der Tabelle 6, welche 15 österreichischen Politikwissenschaftler*innen sich auf den Weltmärkten der Wissenschaften am besten bewährten. Außerdem zeigen diese Methoden in Tabelle 10 auch, dass die im Beitrag analysierten führenden akademischen Verlage der Welt insbesondere für Wissenschaftler*innen der jüngeren Generation gute Weggefährten sein werden, um in Zeiten institutioneller und finanzieller Unsicherheit die Ergebnisse der Wissenschaft verlässlich um den Globus zu verbreiten und die akademischen Karrieren zu befördern. The paper presents advanced bibliometric and scientometric data collected on a tried sample of 104 Austrian political scientists and 51 transnational publishing companies that reveal close statistical links between indicators of a strong presence of scientists and transnational publishing companies in academic teaching classes across the globe (Classroom Citation measured using Open Syllabus) and other, more traditional bibliometric and scientometric indicators (Libcitation measured using OCLC Worldcat and the H-index of citations in specialist journals worldwide, or the Book Citation Index, both monitored by the Scopus system). The statistical calculations, based on factor analysis, show a close statistical relationship between these dimensions. Tables 5 and 9 in this paper (component correlations) corroborate the findings. The multivariant rankings based on eigenvalue factor scores in Table 6 show the 15 Austrian political scientists who proved most successful in the global scientific market. Moreover, the methods in Table 10 indicate that, for early-career scientists, the globally leading academic publishers analysed in this paper are reliable partners in the dissemination of scientific findings across the globe and the promotion of academic careers in a period of institutional and financial uncertainties.

We live in a time of protest. Relative to sociology, political science has traditionally paid little attention to 'extra-institutional' forms of political behaviour. For its part, sociology has tended to prioritize the explanation of mobilization processes over political outcomes. Using bibliometric records from 14 political science and sociology journals over the last two decades, this study demonstrates that protest has witnessed a resurgence of interest in political science and that both sociology and political science now share a focus on the outcomes of protest. The article lays out key trends in this research agenda and suggests what is missing, arguing that a political sociology of protest should integrate recent findings from both disciplines to better understand elite decision-making, the mediation of protest information and protestor aims.

This study assesses the nature of Canada’s rapid research response through term and keyword bibliometric analysis. The following asks: What are the major areas of COVID-19 rapid research output conducted in Canada during the first five and half months of 2020, and how can the results of this analysis inform future accelerated research efforts toward an effective response to infectious disease emergencies? The results suggest that infection prevention, epidemiology, therapeutics, and public health strategies were among the topproducing research areas in Canada during the onset of the pandemic. Moreover, the analysis reflects gaps in the literature addressing diagnostics and vaccine development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite much progress since the mid-20th century, there still exists a disparity in the number of female academics relative to their male colleagues. This gender gap has come under increased focus as universities take steps to foster diversity and inclusiveness. Bibliometrics can provide a window into the gender disparity in research by measuring the metadata of academic publications. By determining the ratio of female to male authors, the gender bias at the level of the institution can be quantified. This study examines the proportion of female authors of academic articles at thirty Canadian universities across five broad fields of research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dieser Artikel präsentiert eine wichtige dritte Säule des bibliometrischen Leistungsvergleichs von wissenschaftlichem Output und Verlagsunternehmen – das Open Syllabus-Projekt. Seine Daten sind für die künftige analytische Bibliotheksarbeit unverzichtbar, wenn heute auch die Vereinigten Staaten, das Vereinigte Königreich, Kanada, Australien, Japan, Taiwan, Italien, Polen, die Niederlande und die Schweiz im System derzeit noch einen Anteil von nicht weniger als 93 Prozent aller erfassten Syllabi haben. Es ist zu hoffen, dass Open Syllabus auch in Deutschland, Österreich, Luxemburg und in allen restlichen Regionen Europas expandiert, wo Deutsch an Universitäten als Unterrichtssprache verwendet wird. Unsere Analyse kalibrierte bibliometrische, mit Open Syllabus gewonnene Aussagen mit Daten, die wir aus Worldcat OCLC Classify über die globale Bibliotheksreichweite und an Hand von Scopus Auch die freie, nicht kostenpflichtige Version von Scopus bietet heute phantastische Möglichkeiten, so z. B. die globale Autor*innen-Suche unter https://www.Scopus.com/freelookup/form/author.uri [Zugriff: 27.04.2021] und https://www.Scopus.com/home.uri?zone=header&origin= [Zugriff: 27.04.2021]. Die Zeitschriften, die im System Scopus erfasst sind, kann man frei unter https://www.scimagojr.com [Zugriff: 27.04.2021] abrufen; mitsamt analytischen bibliometrischen Performance-Indices. Scopus sagt von sich selbst: „Citation data is drawn from over 34,100 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers and country performance metrics from 239 countries worldwide". Für die frei zugängliche Suche nach „der richtigen Zeitschrift" ist Scopus und die Webseite Scimago Jr heute unumgänglich, https://www.scimagoir.com [Zugriff: 27.04.2021] bietet darüber hinaus das auf den von Scopus erfassten Publikationen beruhende Institutionen-Ranking. über internationale Zitierungsmuster gewonnen haben. Wir testeten solche Aussagen zunächst an Hand der seit 1995 ausgezeichneten Johan-Skytte-Preisträger*innen im Fachbereich Politikwissenschaft und berechneten dann einen realen ersten bibliometrischen Testlauf für die politikwissenschaftliche Forschungsgemeinschaft in Österreich. Eine Analyse der Präsenz des internationalen Verlagswesens in den 7,3 Millionen erfassten Lehrveranstaltungen der Welt rundet diesen Beitrag ab. This article presents an important third pillar of bibliometric benchmarking of scholarly output and publishers – the Open Syllabus project. The data collected represents an essential component for future analytical library work, although the project is currently dominated by the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands and Switzerland, which together account for almost 93 percent of the syllabi included in the system. It is hoped that Open Syllabus will soon be spreading to Germany, Austria, Luxembourg and other European regions where German is used at universities as language of instruction. Our analysis calibrated bibliometric data obtained with Open Syllabus and data on global library reach from Worldcat OCLC Classify as well as Scopus data on international citation patterns. We tested the results with the Johan Skytte Award winners in the field of political science since 1995. In a second step, we calculated a first bibliometric test run for Austria's political science research community. An analysis of the presence of international publishers in the 7.3 million university teaching courses' reading lists registered in Open Syllabus rounds out the task. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A comparison between the (former) Institutes for Information Science at the Universities of Düsseldorf and Graz, based on research performance for a period of ten years shows how much the evaluators can influence the results. When choosing "suitable" indicators, it is possible – depending on the desired result – to rank the favored institute first. If, on the other hand, the evaluators adhere to the scientific principle of impartiality, this leads to mixed results for the example shown here. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Materials selection in product design is a complex decision‐making activity due to the necessity of embodying technical requirements into those related to customer, safety, environmental, economic and social aspects. Technological developments have been increasing materials options, thus demanding the manipulation of large amounts of information and data to identify them. This study proposes a monitoring procedure to identify and select materials in innovative product design using patent information. It applies bibliometric techniques to select relevant patents using two different retrieval strategies: (i) driven by the function and (ii) by the application of the product. A case study to search for a more sustainable composite material for aircraft interior structures reveals distinct sets of data and types of technical solutions depending on the patent retrieval strategy used. The function‐based patent retrieval strategy found more disruptive solutions, whereas the application‐based strategy identified mainly improvements in current technology developed by partners of the aeronautical industry.

Dieser Artikel betrachtet mit ausgewählten Indikatoren der Katalogentwicklung die Bedeutung und Leistungsfähigkeit kirchlicher Bibliotheken im deutschen Sprachraum und der Bibliotheken des Vatikans. Der Artikel dokumentiert zunächst die elektronischen Zugangsmöglichkeiten zu diesen Bibliotheken und listet dann die Zahlen der Bestände mit Titelwörtern aktueller prägender Ereignisse, Begriffe und gesellschaftspolitischer Debatten des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts auf. Da ein guter Teil der heutigen gesellschaftspolitischen Literatur auf Englisch publiziert wird, wurden englischsprachige Titel-Suchprofilworte verwendet. Die Bibliotheken wurden auch nach dem Vorhandensein der Werke von zwei für das Engagement der Weltkirche sehr prägenden Autoren getestet. Dies waren die Werke von Jules Isaac, 1877–1963, weil er jener jüdische Autor war, der zur epochalen Konzilserklärung „Nostra Aetate" 1965 beitrug, die den kirchlichen Antisemitismus von zwei Jahrtausenden beenden sollte, und die Werke von Thomas Piketty, der heute zum Problem der Ungleichheit einen fundamentalen Beitrag leistet. Sowohl Klimawandel als auch Ungleichheit spielen im Lehramt von Papst Franziskus eine herausragende Rolle. Wir erfassen die internationale Katalogentwicklung zu den genannten Themen an Hand des OCLC Worldcat, und stellen dann fest, wieviel Promille dieser weltweiten Literatur in den kirchlichen Bibliotheken des deutschen Sprachraums, in der Vatikanbibliothek und in der Bibliothek der Jesuitenuniversität Gregoriana in Rom vorhanden ist. Der Befund ist, dass die Vatikanbibliothek und auch die Bibliotheken der Päpstlichen Universitäten nicht auf der Höhe der Zeit und – bezogen auf die internationale Katalogentwicklung – absolut mangelhaft sind. Hinzu kommt, dass die Vatikanbibliothek selbst eine Sammlung nationalsozialistischer und faschistischer Literatur besitzt, die von Adolf Hitler über Alfred Rosenberg bis zu Antonio Salazar reicht. Selbst im Kernbereich der Bibliothek des Vatikans – der Theologie – gibt es aus der Sicht einer Weltkirche, wie Papst Franziskus sie versteht, große Lücken: Nur ein einziges Buch ist vorhanden – eine Schrift mit dem Vorwort von Gustavo Gutierrez, dem bedeutendsten Vertreter der Befreiungstheologie Lateinamerikas. Using carefully selected indicators of catalogue development, this article looks at the significance and performance of church libraries in the German-speaking area and the Vatican libraries. Documenting the electronic access points of these libraries first, the stock figures of holdings featuring title words referring to important events, terms and socio-politically relevant debates in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries are then listed. English search profile words are used owing to the fact that a significant part of today's socio-political literature is published in English. The libraries are also tested for the availability of the works of two formative figures regarding the world churches' social commitment: Jules Isaac (1877–1963), the Jewish author who contributed to the historic Council Declaration "Nostra Aetate" in 1965, which brought two millennia of ecclesiastical anti-Semitism to an end; and the economist Thomas Piketty, who has been making fundamental contributions to explaining the problem of inequality in present days. Along with climate change, inequality is a topic that figures prominently in Pope Francis' pontifical magisterium. We recorded the international catalogue development on these topics using OCLC Worldcat to determine how much (in per mil) of this body of literature is available in the ecclesiastical libraries of the German-speaking world, in the Vatican Library and in the library of the Jesuit University Gregoriana in Rome. The findings show that the Vatican Library and the libraries of the pontifical universities are not at all up to date and absolutely deficient regarding international catalogue development standards. The Vatican Library holds a collection of National Socialist and Fascist literature to boot, with authors ranging from Adolf Hitler to Alfred Rosenberg and Antonio Salazar. Even the Vatican library's central area, theology, shows major gaps in the stock given Pope Francis' leading idea of representing a world church – the only book available is a manuscript with a preface by Gustavo Gutierrez, Latin American liberation theology's most prominent figure.
