The development of computer science research in the People's Republic of China 2000-2009: A bibliometric study

This paper reports a bibliometric study of the development of computer science research in the People's Republic of China in the 21st century, using data from the Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports and CORE databases. Focusing on the areas of data mining, operating systems and web design, it is shown that whilst the productivity of Chinese research has risen dramatically over the period under review, its impact is still low when compared with established scientific nations such as the USA, the UK and Japan. The publication and citation data for China are compared with corresponding data for the other three BRIC nations (Brazil, Russian and India). It is shown that China dominates the BRIC nations in terms of both publications and citations, but that Indian publications often have a greater individual impact. © The Author(s) 2012

Altmetric Analysis of Highly Cited Publications on Digital Library in Brazil and India: A Comparative Study

In Library and Information Science, Altmetrics is one of the emerging metrics to capture the online attention of scholarly literature. The present paper is an attempt to do a correlation study of an altmetric score and citations received by the highly cited publications of Digital library in Brazil and India country during 1989-2017. The study reveals that India is the county which received altmetric attention as compared to Brazil. While doing Altmetric analysis, it was found that discipline wise, Librarians followed by PhD scholar are the maximum readers whereas subject-wise, Computer science professionals contribute the maximum readership followed by social science disciplines in India in the field of a digital library. So, it is the need of time to explore the area more so that altmetric would become one of the standard indicators to measure the research impact in a professional

He is a Faculty Fellow at IBM\u27s Center for Advanced Studies, a Barrister and Solicitor of the Law Society of Upper Canada, a member of the International Association for the Advancement of Teaching and Research in Intellectual Property, the IEEE, the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada, and the ACM. He is a member of the College of Reviewers of the Canada Research Chairs, a reviewer for Canadian Foundation for Innovation, a member in the Selden Society and the Computer Research Association, on the executive committee for the ACM Special Interest Group on Computers and Society, in the Rotman Institute of Science and Values, a reviewer for Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Professor Perry\u27s research is focused on the nexus of science and law, and in the area of autonomic computing system development. He holds grants to pursue his research in both law and science, including Genome Canada, and has supervised numerous graduate and undergraduate theses. He has been invited by universities in Australia, India, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States, and Canada to speak at research-intensive colloquia and classes. He regularly contributes to the media on technology and law issues. A selection of papers can be found at http://ssrn.com/author=10510 . Professor Perry is an expert on the nexus of legal issues and leading technologies. His science and legal backgrounds have led him to a unique approach to both disciplines that brings together the scientific approach and legal analysis. This has been expressed through modeling the legal relationships in computer and biological systems. His current focus has been on copyright, patent and trademark (as well as other intellectual property rights) in technology systems, and also the regulation of cutting edge technologies

Competitions of multi-agent systems for teaching artificial intelligence

This paper presents an approach based on competitions of multiagent systems as the basis for teaching advanced topics in Artificial Intelligence. The method was applied in the Cognitive Robotics course with students of the 5th-year in Computer Science from the University of Mumbai in India, in the domain of Soccer. The championships are played between different teams to allow students to assess and compare the results. The motivation that is reached is fundamental for creating interest in the study of Artificial Intelligence techniques and in research. The developed experiences are described, as well as an analysis of the method and its impact for the academy and the research

Research Trends in Library and Information Science in India during 2011 to 2018

Bibliometric analysis analyzes the research activity based on the doctoral theses that were submitted to the Shodhganga repository from 2011 to 2018 to determine the research trends in library and information science (LIS) in India. The findings demonstrate a shift in academic attention from fundamental LIS subjects to computer applications. Based on the data from Shodhganga, the INDCAT database, Vidyanidhi, and University News, this paper examined 612 PhD theses that were submitted at various universities in India during the course of these eight years

Bibliometric Mapping of LIS Research in India: A Study Seen Through the Mirror of Indian Citation Index

Purpose: Library and Information Science subject is exceedingly pragmatic in nature in India more than a century old, which is one of the most knowledge-producing and knowledge utilizing area and is associated with many of the tool subjects like computer science, statistics, management science, etc. Since the subject has a very practical base therefore, both the theory and practice should go side by side. As a knowledge fabricating domain, a lot of researchers, professionals, academicians, etc. are profoundly involved in the research. This research work briefly traces the Library and Information Science research stemming from India in the 21st century based on the data as depicted in Indian Citation Index (ICI) during the year 2006 – 2015 which will help the LIS professionals to get aware of the latest and emerging issues in this field. Methodology: A whole of 2,483 bibliographic data set have been retrieved in CSV format from one of India’s national-level citation database i.e. Indian Citation Index (ICI) from 2006 to 2015. Methodologically bibliometric tools and techniques have been taken up and descriptive statistics methods were employed. The study also uses fractional counting method. Findings: Among the contributors, 2,460 sole Indian LIS researchers have contributed 2,483 research papers in seven diverse categories and amongst them, 90.61% (2250) are research articles followed by case study (96). The year 2015 has been achieved the most productive year by publishing 16.63 % literature. SRELS, DJLIT, PEARL, IJILS, IASLIC Bulletin, Library Herald and ALIS are the most preferred journals to the LIS professionals for publishing their research works. Most of the works of the researchers have been categorized into 57 micro areas. Out of them, Bibliometrics (14%) is the most significant area for the research fraternity. Other emerging areas of research are the following- User studies, Information technology, digital libraries, library consortia, library automation, etc. Many of the literatures have been published in closed access in comparison to the open-access platform. The study showcases the collaborative research is leading in this field. Originality/Value: The bibliometric work on the quantitative analysis of Indian LIS literature published in Indian journals during the time span of 2006 – 2015 is the first of its kind
