Bibliometric analyses on repository contents as a library service for the evaluation of research

Since the last two decennia, the library of Wageningen University and Research (or Wageningen UR) has been involved in several bibliometric analyses for the evaluation of scientific output of staff, chair groups, research institutes and graduate schools. In these bibliometric analyses several indicator scores, such as the number of publications, number of citations and citation impacts, are calculated. However, since publication and citation habits differ considerably per scientific discipline, indicator scores need to be standardized in order to make comparison of scientific outputs from staff, chair groups, research institutes or graduate schools, that belong to different scientific disciplines, possible. It is for this reason that Wageningen UR Library bases its bibliometric analyses on indicator scores that are standardized against average trend (or baseline) scores per research field. For the collection of scientific output that is subjected to bibliometric analyses the repository Wageningen Yield (WaY) is used. This repository contains metadata and links to scientific output of the staff, research groups, chair groups and institutes of Wageningen UR and is developed and managed by Wageningen UR Library. By the application of a link between the metadata of publications in WaY and citation scores in Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science, custom-made analyses can be performed efficiently. Usings the repository WaY as a source for Wageningen UR’s scientific output enables optimal use of meta data (e.g. affiliations of authors), improvement of completeness and data quality as well as awareness of library services. Moreover, the bibliometric analyses give insights in steps that can be taken to improve publication strategies for Wageningen UR staff, chair groups, research institutes and graduate schools

Bibliometric Analysis of Governance Research in Indonesia

All research should make a significant contribution to the academic literature. However, this can only be achieved when research can highlight its novelty. Hence, mapping previous studies on a particular topic is essential to identify the uniqueness of the research. This study aimed to examine the growth of publications on governance issues in Indonesia using the Google Scholar database and manual searches in SINTA. This was a bibliometric analysis that relied on the Publish or Perish, Mendeley and VOSviewer tools. Studies from 352 journals were collected and analyzed to determine the development of publications on governance topics in Indonesia. Furthermore, using VOSviewer, co-authorship was analyzed and co-occurrence maps were created. The co-occurrence maps showed that the topics of corruption, public service and local governance were over-researched. On the contrary, the topics of district governance, good governance value, elite capture, and humanistic approach were under-researched. Hence, it is recommended that further research is conducted on these under-researched topics. Keywords: Indonesia governance, governance, bibliometric analysi
