The ATLAS collaboration defines methods, establishes procedures, and organises advisory groups to manage the publication processes of scientific papers, conference papers, and public notes. All stages are managed through web systems, computing programs, and tools that are designed and developed by the collaboration. A framework called FENCE is integrated into the CERN GitLab software repository, to automatically configure workspaces where each analysis can be documented by the analysis team and managed by the relevant coordinators. Continuous integration is used to guide the writers in applying consistent and correct formatting when preparing papers to be submitted to scientific journals. Additional software assures the correctness of other aspects of each paper, such as the lists of collaboration authors, funding agencies, and foundations. The framework and the workflow therein provide automatic and easy support to the researchers and facilitates each phase of the publication process, allowing authors to focus on the article contents. The framework and its integration with the most up to date and efficient tools has consequently provided a more professional and efficient automatized work environment to the whole collaboration.
Web of Science Core Collection, one of the most authoritative bibliographic databases, is widely used in academia to track high-quality research. This database has begun to index online-first articles since December 2017. This new practice has introduced two different publication dates (online and final publication dates) into the database for more and more early access publications. It may confuse many users who want to search or analyze literature by using the publication-year related tools provided by Web of Science Core Collection. By developing custom retrieval strategies and checking man…
Tenure provides a permanent position to faculty in higher education institutions. In North America, it is granted to those who have established a record of excellence in research, teaching and services in a limited period. However, in China, research excellence represented by the number of Web of Science publications is highly weighted in the tenure assessment compared to excellence in teaching and services, but this has never been systematically investigated. By analyzing the tenure assessment documents from Chinese universities, this study reveals the role of Web of Science publications in C…
In this paper, we study the causal impact of the web-search activity on the research publication. We considered observational prospective study design, where research activity of 267 scientists is being studied. We considered the Poisson and negative binomial regression model for our analysis. Based on the Akaike's Model selection criterion, we found the negative binomial regression performs better than the Poisson regression. Detailed analysis indicates that the higher web-search activity of 2016 related to the sci-indexed website has a positive significant impact on the research publication …
The paper aims to analyze and monitor the research publication productivity of the faculty members of Bulacan State University. This paper compiles all the scientific publications from Bulacan State University (BulSU) and its external campuses as an index in Google Scholar. This study was intended to track and monitor the scientific productivity of the faculty members of Bulacan State University and each college and campus.
The Present Study analyzed research productivity in Journal of Documentation (JDoc) for a period of 30 years between 1989 and 2018. Web of Science database a service from Clarivate Analytics has been used to download citation and source data. Bibexcel and Histcite application software have been used to present the datasets. Analysis part focuses on the parameters like citation impact at local and global level, influential authors and their total output, ranking of contributing institutions and countries. In addition to this scientographical mapping of data is presented through graphs using VOS…
Having been an editor for Physics Letters B (PLB) for many years I became interested in the history of publishing, especially in particle physics (HEP). Since PLB goes back to 1967 and an index of all PLB publications is available online, this information was used to look at the history of PLB publications over time. It should be noted that PLB publishes new results in particle physics or high energy physics, nuclear physics and also in astrophysics and cosmology. This is the start of an effort to look at all publishers that publish research from HEP.
Analysis of the Publication and Document Types in OpenAlex, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed and Semantic Scholar
Göttingen State and University Library, University of Göttingen（哥廷根州立大学图书馆，哥廷根大学）；GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences（GESIS-莱布尼茨社会科学研究所）；German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies, DZHW（德国高等教育研究与科学研究中心，DZHW）
本研究分析了OpenAlex、Web of Science、Scopus、PubMed和Semantic Scholar中文档和出版物类型的分类差异，揭示了不同数据库在分类策略和数据整理上的显著差异。
What are the landmark papers in scientific disciplines? On whose shoulders does research in these fields stand? Which papers are indispensable for scientific progress? These are typical questions which are not only of interest for researchers (who frequently know the answers - or guess to know them), but also for the interested general public. Citation counts can be used to identify very useful papers, since they reflect the wisdom of the crowd; in this case, the scientists using the published results for their own research. In this study, we identified with recently developed methods for the …
World Shares of Publications of the USA, EU-27, and China Compared and Predicted using the New Interface of the Web-of-Science versus Scopus
Web of Science（Thomson Reuters）的新界面使用户能够在一次搜索中检索超过10万个文档的集合。这使得比较中国、美国、欧盟27国和一些较小国家的出版趋势成为可能。中国在2000年代不再是指数增长，而是线性增长。与之前基于指数增长或Scopus数据的预测相反，根据该数据，中国和美国的生产线交叉将推迟到下一个十年（2020年后）。然而，这些长时间的推断只能用作指标，而不能用作预测。除了出版物趋势的动态之外，还必须考虑到用于衡量的数据库的动态。
Regional and Global Science: Latin American and Caribbean publications in the SciELO Citation Index and the Web of Science
我们比较了拉丁美洲和加勒比地区（LAC）出版物在Web of Science（WoS）的核心馆藏索引中的可见性-科学引文索引扩展，社会科学引文索引和艺术与人文学科引文索引-以及SciELO引文索引（SciELO CI），该索引于2014年集成到更大的WoS平台中。这种比较的目的是帮助我们了解拉丁美洲和加勒比地区产生的科学知识的传播，并提供一些思考的潜在好处的衔接区域索引工作到WoS更好地了解地理和学科的贡献。SciELO CI的区域水平与WoS的全球范围有何关系？在WoS中，LAC作者在全球范围内被纳入国际网络，而SciELO为LAC研究人员提供了一个互动平台。SciELO与WoS的结合可能会提高区域期刊的国际知名度，但代价是独立的期刊纳入标准。
The number of linked references of publications in Microsoft Academic in comparison with the Web of Science
在一项全面的微软学术（MA）研究的背景下，我们在第一步中探索了与Web of Science（WoS）相比MA中链接参考文献数据的质量。链接参考文献是文献计量学的主干，是引文索引中时代被引信息的基础。我们发现，MA和WOS之间的链接参考文献的一致性范围从弱到不存在的完整样本（苏黎世大学的出版物，在MA中的链接参考文献少于50）。对WoS中少于50个链接参考文献的样本进行的分析显示，MA和WoS中的链接参考文献之间存在很强的一致性。
The author-affiliation links are the essential elements used for multiple purposes, such as the disambiguation of authors, the attribution of credits of a publication and fractional counting, the analysis of scientific networks, etc. In this article we analyzed the author-affiliation link quality in the Web of Science (WoS) database between 2000 and 2021. We analyzed the link completeness for 32,676,914 scientific publications under different angles: WoS index, document type and the number of authors per publication. The analysis showed that the author-affiliation link begins to be well inform…
We present a large-scale analysis of the accuracy of citation data in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The analysis is based on citations given in publications in Elsevier journals. We reveal significant data quality problems for both databases. Missing and incorrect references are important problems in Web of Science. Duplicate publications are a serious problem in Scopus.
Dimensions was introduced as an alternative bibliometric database to the well-established Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus, however all three databases have fundamental differences in coverage and content, resultant from their owners' indexation philosophies. In light of these differences, we explore here, using a citation network analysis and assessment of normalised citation impact of "duplicate" publications, whether the three databases offer structurally different perspectives of the bibliometric landscape or if they are essentially homogenous substitutes. Our citation network analysis of c…
Sufficient data presence is one of the key preconditions for applying metrics in practice. Based on both Altmetric.com data and Mendeley data collected up to 2019, this paper presents a state-of-the-art analysis of the presence of 12 kinds of altmetric events for nearly 12.3 million Web of Science publications published between 2012 and 2018. Results show that even though an upward trend of data presence can be observed over time, except for Mendeley readers and Twitter mentions, the overall presence of most altmetric data is still low. The majority of altmetric events go to publications in th…
On the relationships between bibliographic characteristics of scientific documents and citation and Mendeley readership counts: A large-scale analysis of Web of Science publications
在本文中，我们提出了第一个大规模的分析与特定文件的书目特征之间的关系Mendeley读者和引文计数。分析了Web of Science（WoS）所涵盖的期刊上发表的来自不同领域的130万篇出版物的数据集。这项工作表明，由于引用值较低而经常被排除在引用分析之外的文档类型，如编辑材料，信件或新闻条目，在Mendeley中得到了很好的覆盖和保存，这表明Mendeley读者群可以可靠地为这些文档类型的分析提供信息。研究结果表明，合作论文经常保存在Mendeley，这是类似于观察到的引文。然而，读者群与标题长度和页数之间的关系比在引文中观察到的相同关系要弱。对不同学科的分析也指出了几个文献特征、读者群和引文数量之间关系的不同模式。总体而言，结果强调，虽然存在学科差异，读者人数与类似的书目特征相关的引用计数，加强了这样一种想法，即门德利读者和引用捕获类似的概念的影响，虽然它们不能被视为等同的指标。
How well developed are altmetrics? A cross-disciplinary analysis of the presence of 'alternative metrics' in scientific publications
本文分析了文献计量学和绩效分析中altmetrics的存在和可能性。使用基于网络的工具Impact Story，我们从Web of Science收集了20，000份随机出版物的指标。我们研究了altmetrics在出版物中的存在和分布，跨领域，文档类型和出版年份，以及altmetrics与引用指标相关的程度。该研究的主要结果是，提供最多指标的altmetrics来源是Mendeley，其读者人数指标占所研究的所有出版物的62.6%，其他来源仅提供少量信息。在与引文的关系方面，已经发现了中度斯皮尔曼相关（r=0.49）之间的Mendeley读者计数和引文指标。这些指标的其他可能性和局限性进行了讨论，并概述了未来的研究路线。
Publication boost in Web of Science journals and its effect on citation distributions
在本文中，我们表明，在Web of Science数据库中索引的研究文章的数量急剧增加，影响了这些文章中常见的引文分布。首先，我们证明了近年来物理学论文数量的增长是由于现有期刊发表了越来越多的论文，而不是像计算机科学那样出现了更多的新期刊。第二，即使来自较新论文的参考文献通常覆盖较长的时间跨度，如果不纠正不均匀的论文增长，较新的论文被引用的频率高于较旧的论文。然而，尽管引文的分布发生了变化，科学家的引文行为似乎并没有改变。
How many scientific papers are mentioned in policy-related documents? An empirical investigation using Web of Science and Altmetric data
在这个简短的交流中，我们提供了一个相对较新的altmetrics数据源的概述，这些数据可能用于科学计量学中的社会影响测量。最近，Altmetric --一家提供出版物水平指标的初创公司--开始提供政策相关文件中提到的出版物数据。使用Altmetric的数据，我们研究了有多少论文在Web of Science（WoS）中被索引，在政策相关的文件中被提及。我们发现，在不同学科类别中发表的论文中，只有不到0.5%的论文在政策相关文件中至少被提及一次。根据我们的研究结果，我们建议定期（每年）重复分析至少有一次与政策相关的（WoS）出版物。在跟踪新的政策相关网站之前，不应将政策相关文件中的提及用于影响衡量。
This study compares publication pattern dynamics in the social sciences and humanities in five European countries. Three are Central and Eastern European countries that share a similar cultural and political heritage (the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland). The other two are Flanders (Belgium) and Norway, representing Western Europe and the Nordics, respectively. We analysed 449,409 publications from 2013-2016 and found that, despite persisting differences between the two groups of countries across all disciplines, publication patterns in the Central and Eastern European countries are becom…
Official government publications are key sources for understanding the history of societies. Web publishing has fundamentally changed the scale and processes by which governments produce and disseminate information. Significantly, a range of web archiving programs have captured massive troves of government publications. For example, hundreds of millions of unique U.S. Government documents posted to the web in PDF form have been archived by libraries to date. Yet, these PDFs remain largely unutilized and understudied in part due to the challenges surrounding the development of scalable pipeline…
We present the Webis-STEREO-21 dataset, a massive collection of Scientific Text Reuse in Open-access publications. It contains more than 91 million cases of reused text passages found in 4.2 million unique open-access publications. Featuring a high coverage of scientific disciplines and varieties of reuse, as well as comprehensive metadata to contextualize each case, our dataset addresses the most salient shortcomings of previous ones on scientific writing. Webis-STEREO-21 allows for tackling a wide range of research questions from different scientific backgrounds, facilitating both qualitativ…
Beyond citations: Scholars' visibility on the social Web
传统上，学术影响力和知名度是通过计算学术文献中的出版物和引用来衡量的。然而，越来越多的学者也出现在网络上，在越来越多的社会生态系统中建立存在。但是，这种存在有多广泛，有多成熟，社交网络影响的衡量标准与传统的衡量标准有什么关系？为了回答这个问题，我们从2010年莱顿STI会议上抽样调查了57位演讲者，收集了他们的出版物和引用次数，以及演讲者的网络足迹数据。“我们发现网络存在广泛而多样：84%的学者有主页，70%在LinkedIn上，23%有公开的Google Scholar个人资料，16%在Twitter上。对于抽样学者的出版物，社会参考管理器书签进行了比较，Scopus和Web of Science引文;我们发现，Mendeley涵盖了80%以上的抽样文章，Mendeley书签显着相关（r= 0.45）Scopus引用计数。
The publication and (re)utilization of Open Data is still facing multiple barriers on technical, organizational and legal levels. This includes limitations in interfaces, search capabilities, provision of quality information and the lack of definite standards and implementation guidelines. Many Semantic Web specifications and technologies are specifically designed to address the publication of data on the web. In addition, many official publication bodies encourage and foster the development of Open Data standards based on Semantic Web principles. However, no existing solution for managing Ope…
How well developed are Altmetrics? Cross-disciplinary analysis of the presence of alternative metrics in scientific publications?
本文分析了文献计量学和绩效分析中altmetrics的存在和可能性。使用基于网络的工具Impact Story，我们从Web of Science收集了20，000份随机出版物的指标。我们研究了altmetrics在出版物中的存在和频率，跨领域，文档类型以及多年来。该研究的主要结果是，不到50%的出版物有某种altmetrics。提供最多指标的来源是Mendeley，其读者指标约占所有研究出版物的37%。其他来源只提供边缘信息。这些指标的可能性和局限性进行了讨论，并概述了未来的研究路线。我们还通过重点分析来自Mendeley的数据的准确性来评估通过Impact Story检索的数据的准确性;在后续研究中，将评估此处未包括的其他数据来源的准确性和有效性。
Trends in Russian research output indexed in Scopus and Web of Science
分析了俄罗斯机构每年出版的文件数量的趋势，并在Scopus和Web of Science中索引，特别注意从2013年开始的时间段，俄罗斯政府启动了项目5-100。数字按文件类型、出版语言、来源类型、研究学科、国家和来源分列。它的结论是，俄罗斯的出版物计数强烈依赖于所使用的数据库，并在数据库覆盖范围的变化，应该谨慎使用时，来自WoS的指标，特别是从Scopus，作为工具，在测量的研究绩效和俄罗斯科学系统的国际化方向。
Research has shown that most resources shared in articles (e.g., URLs to code or data) are not kept up to date and mostly disappear from the web after some years (Zeng et al., 2019). Little is known about the factors that differentiate and predict the longevity of these resources. This article explores a range of explanatory features related to the publication venue, authors, references, and where the resource is shared. We analyze an extensive repository of publications and, through web archival services, reconstruct how they looked at different time points. We discover that the most importan…
Quantifying the changing role of past publications
我们当前的社会越来越依赖于集体知识的电子知识库。这些数据库的一个原型是存储科学出版物的Web of Science（WoS）。与其他几种形式的知识相比，例如，维基百科条目--一篇科学论文在“诞生”后不会改变。然而，从一篇论文发表的那一刻起，它就存在于其他论文不断发展的网络中，因此，它对读者的实际意义发生了变化。为了跟踪科学思想（由科学论文组表示）如何出现和演变，我们应用了一种新颖的算法组合，明确允许论文改变其组。我们（i）确定WOS（1975-2008）的无向年度共同引文网络的重叠集群，（ii）匹配这些年度集群（组），形成组时间轴。在可视化整个数据集中最长寿的组之后，我们为这些组分配主题标签。我们发现，在整个Web of Science中，多学科在前沿思想中的代表性明显过高。此外，我们提供了详细的例子，论文（i）改变他们的主题标签和（ii）之间的组移动。
Citation impact is commonly assessed using direct, first-order citation relations. We consider here instead the indirect influence of publications on new publications via citations. We present a novel method to quantify the higher-order citation influence of publications, considering both direct, or first-order, and indirect, or higher-order citations. In particular, we are interested in higher-order citation influence at the level of disciplines. We apply this method to the whole Web of Science data at the level of disciplines. We find that a significant amount of influence -- 42% -- stems fr…
Characteristics of International versus Non-International Scientific Publication Media in Team- and Author-Based Data
国际出版物和引文数据库Web of Science和Scopus的覆盖面扩大到地方社会科学媒体，这是对这些数据库在评价和供资系统中的使用增加的一个可喜的反应。以前提供的大多数国际期刊是制定现行标准文献计量指标的基础。同样的指标在应用于新引入或扩展的媒体类别时可能不再能衡量完全相同的概念，这些类别可能具有与国际期刊不同的特点。本文探讨了有和没有国际维度的媒体在团队和作者层面上的出版数据的差异。研究结果将国际出版物类别与研究质量联系起来，这对于验证其在旨在促进质量的评估或资助模式中的使用非常重要。
Mendeley readership as a filtering tool to identify highly cited publications
这项研究提出了一个大规模的分析，随着时间的推移和跨学科的Mendeley读者分数的分布和存在。我们研究是否Mendeley读者评分（RS）可以识别高引用的出版物更有效地比期刊引用分数（JCS）。分析了2004-2013年期间在5个主要科学领域发表的具有DOI的Web of Science（WoS）出版物。这项研究的主要结果表明，读者评分比期刊引用评分更有效（在精确度/召回值方面），以识别所有科学领域和出版年份的高引用出版物。调查结果还显示，所有出版物中有86.5%被Mendeley覆盖，并且至少有一位读者。此外，具有Mendeley读者分数的出版物的份额从2004年的84%增加到2009年的89%，从2010年的88%下降到2013年的82%。然而，值得注意的是，从2010年起，出版物的读者密度平均高于引用分数。这表明，与引用分数相比，读者分数对于最近的出版物更普遍，因此它们可以作为研究影响的早期指标。这些发现突出了Mendeley作为科学计量学工具的潜力和价值，特别是作为识别高引用出版物的相关工具。
Missing author address information in Web of Science-An explorative study
文献计量分析越来越多地用于评估和比较不同地理区域的研究绩效。然而，作者地址信息缺失问题并未引起学者和实务界的足够重视。本研究探讨Web of Science（WoS）三个核心期刊引文数据库中的缺失数据问题。我们的研究结果显示，从1900年到2015年，WoS索引的出版物中有超过五分之一的出版物在地址字段中完全缺失信息。这个问题的严重程度在不同的时间段、引文数据库、文献类型和出版语言之间有很大差异。这一问题对于1970年代初之前出版的科学和社会科学研究尤其严重，对于最近出版的艺术和人文科学研究仍然很重要。进一步的研究表明，许多完全缺失地址信息的记录并不代表学术研究。对随机样本的全文扫描显示，大约40%的文章有一些地址信息没有在WoS中索引。这项研究还发现，自1998年以来，美国研究中部分缺失地址信息的问题已经大大减少。最后，本文提出了一些讨论和尝试性的补救措施。
The European Union, China, and the United States in the Top-1% and Top-10% Layers of Most-Frequently-Cited Publications: Competition and Collaborations
欧盟及其成员国、中国和美国在世界出版物中所占份额的百分比由于使用不同的数据库而有所不同。Web of Science（Thomson Reuters）的一个分析变体使我们能够研究世界出版体系中的动态，即领域标准化的前1%和前10%最常被引用的出版物。在全球层面上比较欧盟28国、美国和中国，可以发现与出版物份额分析不同的顶级动态：美国在所有论文的前1%中仍然更具生产力;中国退出了精英地位的竞争;欧盟28国在2000-2010年的最高引用论文中的份额有所增加。在这十年中，欧盟28个成员国中的一些国家超过了美国，但欧盟15国（西欧）和加入国之间仍然存在明显的分歧。网络分析表明，国际合著的前1%的出版物的表现远远超过预期，也超过前10%的出版物。2005年，中国被纳入了这一国际合作出版物的顶层。这些出版物往往涉及一个以上的欧洲国家。
The second quantum technological revolution started around 1980 with the control of single quantum particles and their interaction on an individual basis. These experimental achievements enabled physicists and engineers to utilize long-known quantum features - especially superposition and entanglement of single quantum states - for a whole range of practical applications. We use a publication set of 54,598 papers from the Web of Science published between 1980 and 2018 to investigate the time development of four main subfields of quantum technology in terms of numbers and shares of publication …
The increase in the number of publications has made more difficult for authors to situate their work within previous literature, especially on subjects studied from different disciplinary viewpoints. Besides, new data analysis techniques and new bibliometrics data sources provide an opportunity to map and navigate scientific landscapes. We introduce here an open-source and open-access web application designed for the multi-dimensional exploration of a journal content, including the mapping of geographical, semantic and citations networks. The application is profiled and implemented for the geo…
The present study aims to analyze relationship between Citations Normalized Score (NCS) of scientific publications and Article Processing Charges (APCs) amounts of Gold Open access publications. To do so, we use APCs information provided by OpenAPC database and citations scores of publications in the Web of Science database (WoS). Database covers the period from 2006 to 2019 with 83,752 articles published in 4751 journals belonging to 267 distinct publishers. Results show that contrary to this belief, paying dearly does not necessarily increase the impact of publications. First, large publishe…
研究人员之间的合作变得越来越普遍，这引发了大量科学计量学问题，对此没有明确和普遍接受的答案。例如，相对于单作者出版物，应该给予双作者或三作者出版物什么价值？本文使用公理分析，并提出了一个实用的方法来计算期望值的n作者出版物，考虑到在没有事先或事前信息的出版物的潜在优点或科学影响的背景下，合作引起的附加值。唯一需要的信息是作者的数量。我们比较了获得的理论值与经验值的基础上，从Web of Science数据库的大型数据集。我们发现，理论值是非常接近的经验值的一些学科，但不是所有的。这一观察结果为本文提出的方法提供了支持。我们希望我们的研究结果可以帮助研究人员和决策者选择更有效和公平的计数方法，考虑到合作的好处。
"Seed+Expand": A validated methodology for creating high quality publication oeuvres of individual researchers
在个人微观层面上的科学研究经常需要消除作者姓名的歧义。作者的出版物作品的创建包括将唯一的作者姓名列表与出版物数据库中使用的姓名进行匹配。尽管最近在开发唯一作者标识符方面取得了进展，例如，ORCID，VIVO或DAI，作者消歧仍然是一个关键问题，当涉及到大规模的文献计量学分析，使用来自多个数据库的数据。本研究介绍并验证了一种新的方法称为种子+扩展的半自动书目数据汇集为一组给定的个人作者。具体而言，我们确定了一组荷兰教授在1980-2011年期间的作品。特别是，我们结合作者记录从国家研究信息系统（NARCIS）与出版记录从Web of Science。从8,378个名字的初始列表开始，我们使用五种不同的方法为每个作者确定“种子出版物”。随后，我们“扩大”的出版物在三个不同的方法。不同的方法进行了比较，并使用“金标准”的作者数据集，在2001年至2010年期间验证的出版物的精确度和召回率进行评估。
