根据学术机构的期刊出版概况绘制学术机构地图:西班牙大学案例研究

Mapping Academic Institutions According to Their Journal Publication Profile: Spanish Universities as a Case Study

J. A. García, Rosa Rodríguez-Sánchez, J. Fdez-Valdivia, Nicolas Robinson-García, Daniel Torres-Salinas

摘要:

我们介绍了一种新的方法来映射学术机构的期刊出版概况的基础上。我们认为,学术机构的研究人员发表其作品的期刊可以被视为代表这些机构之间的关系和建立比较的有用标识符。然而,当学术期刊被用于研究成果的代表,必须引入它们之间的区别,根据其作为机构描述符的价值。这导致我们使用附加到机构标识符的日志权重。由于来自大部分研究机构的研究人员发表论文的期刊可能是两个学术机构之间相似性的不良指标,因此根据不同机构的研究人员在该期刊上发表论文的频率对其进行加权似乎是合理的。然后,聚类分析可以应用于对学术机构进行分组,并且可以提供树状图来说明凝聚层次聚类之后的机构组。为了测试这种方法,我们使用西班牙大学的样本作为案例研究。我们首先根据机构的整体研究成果绘制研究样本,然后将其用于两个科学领域(信息和通信技术以及医学和药理学),以展示我们的方法如何应用,不仅用于分析机构作为一个整体,而且用于不同的学科背景。

英文摘要:

We introduce a novel methodology for mapping academic institutions based on their journal publication profiles. We believe that journals in which researchers from academic institutions publish their works can be considered as useful identifiers for representing the relationships between these institutions and establishing comparisons. However, when academic journals are used for research output representation, distinctions must be introduced between them, based on their value as institution descriptors. This leads us to the use of journal weights attached to the institution identifiers. Since a journal in which researchers from a large proportion of institutions published their papers may be a bad indicator of similarity between two academic institutions, it seems reasonable to weight it in accordance with how frequently researchers from different institutions published their papers in this journal. Cluster analysis can then be applied to group the academic institutions, and dendrograms can be provided to illustrate groups of institutions following agglomerative hierarchical clustering. In order to test this methodology, we use a sample of Spanish universities as a case study. We first map the study sample according to an institution's overall research output, then we use it for two scientific fields (Information and Communication Technologies, as well as Medicine and Pharmacology) as a means to demonstrate how our methodology can be applied, not only for analyzing institutions as a whole, but also in different disciplinary contexts.
