The networking ability of journals reflects their academic influence among peer journals. This paper analyzes the cited and citing environments of the journal--Advances in Atmospheric Sciences--using methods from social network analysis. The journal has been actively participating in the international journal environment, but one has a tendency to cite papers published in international journals. Advances in Atmospheric Sciences is intensely interrelated with international peer journals in terms of similar citing pattern. However, there is still room for an increase in its academic visibility given the comparatively smaller reception in terms of cited references.
Generally, it is common that cited papers are earlier than citing papers. But we found three different cases, with more undiscovered. In this letter, we attempted to explain the reasons. However, negative time lag between citing and cited papers may mislead us when we study the characteristics of science.
The growing complexity of scientific challenges demands increasingly intense research collaboration, both domestic and international. The resulting trend affects not only the modes of producing new knowledge, but also the way it is disseminated within scientific communities. This paper analyses the relationship between the "degree of internationalization" of a country's scientific production and that of the relevant citing publications. The empirical analysis is based on 2010-2012 Italian publications. Findings show: i) the probability of being cited increases with the degree of internationali…
The negative effects of citing with a national orientation in terms of recognition: national and international citations in natural-sciences papers from Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK
Could freely available articles reduce faculty reliance on library for access? An analysis of items cited by faculty from Singapore Management University
各种研究试图评估网络上可用的免费全文的数量，最近的工作表明，我们接近50%的免费文章（Archambault et al. 2013; Bjork et al. 2010; Jamali and Nabavi 2015）。人们自然会想，这是否会减少研究人员对图书馆订阅的依赖。要做到这一点，我们不仅需要确定研究人员引用的论文现在是免费的，而且需要估计他们引用的论文在引用时是否是免费的。我们试图以新加坡管理大学经济学领域的研究人员的引用为样本。
Entropy-based disciplinarity indicator: role taxonomy of journals in scientific communication systems and isolation degree. Knowledge importation/exportation profiles from journals and disciplines
Video communication has been rapidly increasing over the past decade, with YouTube providing a medium where users can post, discover, share, and react to videos. There has also been an increase in the number of videos citing research articles, especially since it has become relatively commonplace for academic conferences to require video submissions. However, the relationship between research articles and YouTube videos is not clear, and the purpose of the present paper is to address this issue. We created new datasets using YouTube videos and mentions of research articles on various online pl…
There are different citation habits in the research fields that influence the obsolescence of the research literature. We analyze the distinctive obsolescence of research literature in disciplinary journals in eight scientific subfields based on cited references distribution, as a synchronous approach. We use both Negative Binomial (NB) and Poisson distributions to capture this obsolescence. The corpus being examined is published in 2019 and covers 22,559 papers citing 872,442 references. Moreover, three measures to analyze the tail of the distribution are proposed: (i) cited reference surviva…
Interdisciplinarity as Diversity in Citation Patterns among Journals: Rao-Stirling Diversity, Relative Variety, and the Gini coefficient
定义和测量的问题继续限制跨学科测量的共识。使用Rao-Stirling（RS）多样性有时会产生异常结果。我们认为，这些意想不到的结果可能与使用“双概念多样性”，结合“品种”和“平衡”的定义（事前）。我们建议将RS多样性修改为一个新的指标（DIV），它独立地操作多样性，平衡性和差异性，然后将它们事后结合起来。“平衡”可以用基尼系数来衡量。我们将DIV应用于科学引文索引和社会科学引文索引的期刊引文报告2016年所涵盖的11，487种期刊的汇总引文模式作为经验领域，更详细地说，应用于被引用和引用方向上分配到Web of Science类别“信息科学和图书馆学”的85种期刊的引文模式。我们比较的指标的结果，并表明，DIV提供了改进的结果，在区分跨学科的知识整合（引用）与知识扩散（引用）。新的分集指标和RS分集度量不同的特征。在网上提供了一个衡量多样性的各种运作情况（在任何数据矩阵中）的例行程序。
Interactive Overlays of Journals and the Measurement of Interdisciplinarity on the basis of Aggregated Journal-Journal Citations
使用Web of Science上的“Analyze Results”（分析结果），可以直接生成覆盖到全球科学期刊地图上的内容。这些地图基于科学和社会科学引文索引（2011）的期刊引文报告（JCR）中包含的10，000多种期刊。检索的学科多样性用Rao-Stirling的“二次熵”来衡量。“由于跨学科性的这一指标是在0和1之间进行规范化的，因此跨学科性可以在文件集之间和跨年份之间进行比较，引用或引用。用于覆盖的颜色基于Blondel等人。的（2008）社区发现算法在JCR中包含的关系期刊上运行。结果可以从VOSViewer中导出，并带有不同的选项，如比例标签、热图或聚类密度图。地图也可以是网络启动的和/或动画的（例如，使用PowerPoint）。“引用”维度的聚合期刊期刊引文矩阵被发现提供了一个更全面的描述比矩阵的基础上引用的档案。本文还进一步讨论了局部图和全局图之间的关系及其在利用期刊文献研究科学中的不同作用：局部图和全局图是基于不同的假设，可以预期它们在解释科学时具有不同的目的。
Back to the past: on the shoulders of an academic search engine giant
Google Scholar团队发布的一项研究发现，过去24年（1990-2013）发表的研究中引用旧文章的比例明显增加。为了证明这一发现，我们使用不同的数据源（期刊引文报告）、指标（总引用半衰期）、时间垃圾邮件（2003-2013年）和一组类别（53个社会科学学科类别和167个科学学科类别）进行了一项补充研究。虽然所获得的结果证实并加强了以前的研究结果，但这种现象的可能原因尚不清楚。我们最后假设，第一页结果综合征与Google Scholar倾向于引用最多的文献这一事实相结合，表明引用旧文献的增长趋势部分是由Google Scholar引起的。
Edited Volumes, Monographs, and Book Chapters in the Book Citation Index (BKCI) and Science Citation Index (SCI, SoSCI, A&HCI)
2011年，路透社推出图书引文索引（BKCI）作为科学引文索引（SCI）的一部分。Web of Science第5版的界面使用户能够搜索“书籍”和“书籍章节”作为新类别。然而，书籍和书籍章节总是被引用的参考文献，自2005年以来，书籍章节已被列入数据库。我们探索这两个类别与BKCI和SCI，并在姐妹社会科学（SoSCI）和艺术与人文（A&HCI）数据库。编辑卷中的书籍章节可以被高度引用。书籍包含许多引用参考，但相对较少被引用。这可能是因为书籍的流通速度比期刊文章慢。在科学计量学上，可以区分“书籍”中的专著和编辑卷。专著在引用影响方面可能被低估，或者使用出版绩效指标被高估，因为单个章节在文章，评论和/或书籍章节方面分别被视为贡献。
A key feature of questionable journals is a lack of adequate peer review of their articles. Content of thus unknown quality may be utilised by unsuspecting practitioners or incorporated into peer-reviewed research, becoming legitimised. It is therefore necessary to examine the citation patterns of articles in questionable journals to understand the impact and reach of research in questionable journals. Similar research has tended to focus on authors from low- and middle-income countries. As such, this study investigates the profile and impact of research in questionable journals by authors in …
This paper examines the citation impact of papers published in scientific-scholarly journals upon patentable technology, as reflected in examiner- or inventor-given references in granted patents. It analyses data created by SCImago Research Group, linking PATSTAT's scientific non-patent references (SNPRs) to source documents indexed in Scopus. The frequency of patent citations to journal papers is calculated per discipline, year, institutional sector, journal subject category, and for "top" journals. PATSTAT/Scopus-based statistics are compared to those derived from Web of Science/USPTO linkag…
