The Howard-Harvard effect: Institutional reproduction of intersectional inequalities
The production of research and faculty in the US higher education system is concentrated within a few institutions. Concentration of research and resources affects minoritized scholars and the topics with which they are disproportionately associated. This paper examines topical alignment between institutions and authors of varying intersectional identities, and the relationship between research topics and […] Lire la suite
Examining the quality of the corresponding authorship field in Web of Science and Scopus
Authorship is associated with scientific capital and prestige, and corresponding authorship is used in evaluation as a proxy for scientific status. However, there are no empirical analyses on the validity of the corresponding authorship metadata in bibliometric databases. This paper looks at differences in the corresponding authorship metadata in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus […] Lire la suite
Interdisciplinarity affects the technological impact of scientific research
How science contributes to technological innovation can benefit from a deep understanding of intrinsic characteristics of the science base that underlie technologies, especially characteristics with significant implications for the scientific base itself. This paper investigates the correlation between interdisciplinarity of scientific research (variety, balance, disparity, and Rao-Stirling) and their technological impact. Using all Web of […] Lire la suite
Impact of geographic diversity on citation of collaborative research
Diversity in human capital is widely seen as critical to creating holistic and high-quality research, especially in areas that engage with diverse cultures, environments, and challenges. Quantification of diverse academic collaborations and their effect on research quality is lacking, especially at international scale and across different domains. Here, we present the first effort to measure […] Lire la suite
Interdisciplinarity and impact: the effects of the citation time window.
The relationship between interdisciplinarity and citation impact is affected by many factors, and the citation time window is a crucial factor. Our study examines the effect of the citation time window on the relationship between interdisciplinarity and scientific impact. All journal articles published in 2006 in Web of Science (WoS) are considered. The relationship between […] Lire la suite
Parité de genre et genre de parité dans les revues québécoises.
[Chapitre 13] Résumé du livre: Résolument multidisciplinaire, cet ouvrage cherche à mettre en lumière la pluralité des rôles qu’ont joués les revues culturelles, reconnues ou marginales, dans l’histoire du Québec. D’un certain « canon revuiste » à des périodiques qui, sans être de « petites revues » ou de « petites feuilles », sont moins étudiés, il entreprend une traversée intellectuelle […] Lire la suite
Task specialization and its effects on research careers
Research careers are typically envisioned as a single path in which a scientist starts as a member of a team working under the guidance of one or more experienced scientists and, if they are successful, ends with the individual leading their own research group and training future generations of scientists. Here we study the author […] Lire la suite
Lancement de «Initiative for Open Abstracts (I4OA)» avec Vincent Larivière
C’est cet automne qu’a été lancé le projet Initiative for Open Abstracts (I4OA) qui vise à interpeller les auteurs à rendre disponibles les résumés de leurs travaux (notamment par Crossref), à laquelle participe Vincent Larivière. I4OA a été créée afin de soutenir un libre accès au savoir en collaboration avec des revues, auteurs, bibliothécaires universitaires, chercheurs, […] Lire la suite
