Citation proximus: The role of social and semantic ties on citations.
Despite being considered as key indicators of research impact, citations are shaped by factors beyond intrinsic research quality—such as including prestige, social networks, and research topics. While the Matthew Effect explains how prestige accumulates, our study contextualizes this by showing that other mechanisms also play a role in citation accumulation. Analyzing a large dataset of […] Lire la suite
Understanding discrepancies in the coverage of OpenAlex: the case of China.
Citations indexes play a crucial role for understanding how science is produced,disseminated, and used. However, these databases often face a critical trade-off:those offering extensive and high-quality coverage are typically proprietary,whereas publicly accessible datasets frequently exhibit fragmented coverage andinconsistent data quality. OpenAlex was developed to address this challenge, pro-viding a freely available database with broad open […] Lire la suite
Examining the geographic and linguistic coverage of gold and diamond open access journals in OpenAlex, Scopus, and Web of Science.
Diamond open access (OA) journals are a publishing model that is free for both authors and readers, but their lack of indexing in major bibliographic databases compared to gold journals presents challenges in assessing their uptake. Furthermore, the characteristics of diamond journals, such as language and country of publication, have often been used to support […] Lire la suite
Scholarly publishing’s hidden diversity: How exclusive databases sustain the oligopoly of academic publishers
Abstract Global scholarly publishing has been dominated by a small number of publishers for several decades. This paper revisits the data on corporate control of scholarly publishing by analyzing the relative shares of scholarly journals and articles published by the major publishers and the “long tail” of smaller, independent publishers, using Dimensions and Web of […] Lire la suite
Delineating Gender Studies through bibliometric analysis
The multidisciplinary nature of Gender Studies poses challenges for bibliometric analyses, but new computational tools can be incorporated to identify publications related to Gender Studies even when they are scattered across multiple disciplines. In this paper, we apply bibliometric techniques and natural language processing on the Dimensions database to build a dataset of scientific publications […] Lire la suite
Assessing academic mobility to the United States between 2010 and 2020
This paper provides a global picture of the research mobility to the United States between 2010 and 2020 with the aim of determining whether the election of Trump acted as an influential factor on this mobility. The United States has historically been a central destination for researchers. However, many believe that the recent political climate […] Lire la suite
Shine bright like a diamond: A bibliometric analysis of diamond Open Access journals and their coverage in Web of Science, Scopus and OpenAlex
The Budapest Open Access Initiative (2002) advocated for a new generation of journals that would rely on alternative sources of funding to support Open Access (OA) dissemination. Author fees or article processing charges (APCs) have now become one of the most common sources of funding for OA journals. These APCs dominate the public discourse surrounding […] Lire la suite
An examination of scientific collaboration between Taiwan and New Southbound Policy-target countries
The New Southbound Policy (NSP) is generally considered a grand strategic plan for Taiwan to diversify its economy and reintegrate itself into the Indo-Pacific region in response to the changing global and regional geopolitics by fostering long-term partnerships with 18 neighboring countries. Promoting regional academic cooperation is part of resource sharing but receives little scholarly […] Lire la suite
Gender homophily in patent examination.
This paper is one of the first attempts that sheds light on the gendered practices in the patent examination process. The findings reveal the share of female examiners and female inventors has increased over time but is still considerably low. Along these lines, when the patent examiner is a woman, the granted patent comprises a […] Lire la suite
The relationship between open access publishing and referencing
This paper reinforces the necessity of normalizing OA adoption by discipline and country, as suggested and practiced in earlier works. Using such measures, we can identify countries for which OA has become characteristic of their publications, with OA papers informing their research as well as serving as an avenue to share their research with the […] Lire la suite
