A Bibliometric Overview of the International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence

The International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence (IJIMAI) published its first issue ten years ago. Currently, IJIMAI is indexed in the important database Emerging Sources Citation Index. This paper aims to identify, through a mapping of science, those most relevant aspects of the structure of publications made during the first 10 years of IJIMAI. Using VOSviewer software, the structural maps of the IJIMAI publications are analysed according to techniques such as bibliographic coupling, co-citations and cooccurrence of keywords. In addition, the evolution of the publications, citations and an analysis of the most cited papers of the journal are presented. The results show that IJIMAI has experienced a remarkable growth of both publications and citations in the last five years. We also observe that IJIMAI does not only capture the attention of the Spanish scientific community, but also of emerging countries such as India and Iran and emerging Latin American countries such as Colombia. With a such increasing behaviour, it is expected in the coming years that IJIMAI will position itself among the best journals with similar scientific scope

Is there a need for a new journal metric? Correlations between JCR Impact Factor metrics and the Journal Citation Indicator —JCI

In 2021, Clarivate published a new version of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) including a new indicator. The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a new field-normalized metric at journal- level, which is calculated by averaging the Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) of the journal’s articles and reviews published in the preceding three-year period. Unlike the Journal Impact Factor (JIF), it is also calculated for the journals of the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), which are now included in the JCR. To better understand this new indicator, this article analyses its main statistical characteristics in comparison with the other JCR indicators using all JCR journals and categories. The results highlight the similarities between the JCI and JIF, with a high Pearson correlation (0.853) and a similar distribution. This correlation is also high and homogeneous in the different categories, both for Science and Social Sciences. The JCI is therefore a perfect complement to the JIF, as well as representing an alternative to resolve the well-known problems of the JCR.Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain (MICINN) Spanish Government PID2019-109127RB- I00/SRA/10.13039/501,100,011,033 Spanish Government FPU18/05,835University of Granada/CBU

Analysis of the scientifc knowledge structure on automation in the wine industry: a bibliometric and systematic review

The objective of this research is to analyze the knowledge structure of the academic literature indexed in the Core Collection of the Web of Science on automation in the wine industry, from the frst registered article in 1996 to 2022, in order to identify the latest trends in the study of this subject. A bibliometric and systematic analysis of the literature was carried out. First, for the quantitative analysis of the scientifc production, the bibliometric study was conducted, using the WoS database for data collection and the VosViewer and Bibliometrix applications to create the network maps. Second, once the literature had been examined quantitatively, content analysis was undertaken using the PRISMA methodology. The results show, among other aspects, the uneven distribution of the examined scientifc production from 1996 to 2022, that computer vision, data aggregation, life cycle assessment, precision viticulture, extreme learning machine and collaborative platforms are the major current keywords and the predominance of Spain and Italy in terms of scientifc production in the feld. There are various justifcations which support the originality of this study. First, it contributes to the nderstanding of academic literature and the identifcation of the most recent trends in the study of automation in the wine industry. Second, to the best of our knowledge, no prior bibliometric studies have considered this topic. Third, this research evaluates the literature from the frst record to the year 2022, thereby providing a comprehensive analysis of the scientifc production.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature

Evolution of number of citations per article in Materials Science: possible causes and effect on the impact factor of journals

An overall rise in the citation parameters used in the metrics of scientifc publications (i.e. journal impact factor, JIF) has taken place since the last decade of the previous century, coinciding with the electronic distribution of (and access to) scientifc literature. This infation like tendency is herein analyzed in the area of Materials Science and also afects the number of publications. Considering average JIF values, its growth is proportional to the number of publications in the area and to its JIF value, leading to an inhomogeneous boost that preferentially benefts those journals with high JIF. An elevation in the number of publications per year alone cannot explain this behavior but it occurs due to a continuous and widespread increment in the number of citations per article, which only remains limited when restrictions are applied by journals to the maximum number of pages per article. In this work we observe this positive correlation between the increase in the number of references per article and the overall increase in JIF but, in our analysis, a kink point is observed in consistency with the appearance of online databases, particularly those free available in 2004. Online databases along with the widespread of open access publishing option made the research content easily available to the scientifc community contributing to an increasing trend (without apparent saturation) in the number of articles used to contextualize the new scientifc contributions.Universidad de Sevilla/CBU

Investigación española sobre Comunicación en WoS: comparación temática, metodológica e intelectual entre SSCI y ESCI

[ES] El presente estudio analiza la estructura temática y conceptual de la producción científica española publicada en revistas indexadas en la base de datos Emerging Sources Citation Index (integrada en la Web of Science). Se trata de identificar los vínculos más estrechos entre conceptos y términos a partir de la co-ocurrencia de palabras clave utilizadas por los autores de los trabajos analizados. Se señalan también los fundamentos teóricos de la disciplina mediante las relaciones de co-citación de artículos en la bibliografía de los documentos de la muestra. Finalmente, se comparan estos resultados con los obtenidos del análisis de la producción científica española en cabeceras indexadas en la base de datos Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), también integrada en la WoS. Para conseguir estos objetivos se llevó a cabo un análisis de redes de co-aparación de palabras clave y cocitación de referencias en los artículos que presenten, al menos, un autor vinculado a alguna institución española publicados en revistas de Comunicación entre 2015 y 2021 en ESCI (N = 3.559) y SSCI (N = 1.738). Los resultados apuntan a unos valores de cohesión estructurales similares y a una similitud temática y metodológica entre ambos conjuntos observados. Existe una tendencia marcada hacia los estudios cuantitativos sobre las nuevas tecnologías. Mientras que en SSCI se encuentra un dominio prácticamente absoluto de los estudios sobre Periodismo, en ESCI existe un protagonismo más perceptible de otras disciplinas como Comunicación Audiovisual o Publicidad. No obstante, la estructura intelectual de la producción en SSCI refleja un carácter más especializado que en ESCI.[EN] This study analyses the thematic and conceptual structure of the Spanish scientific production published in Emerging Sources Citation Index (Web of Science) journals. In this way, the aim is to identify the closest links between concepts and terms based on the co-occurrence of keywords used by the authors of the papers analysed, and also to point out the theoretical foundations that exist in the discipline through the co-citation relationships of articles in the bibliography of the documents in the sample. Finally, these results were compared with those obtained from the analysis of Spanish scientific production in Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). To achieve these objectives, a network analysis of the co-occurrence of keywords and co-citation of references in articles published in Communication journals between 2015 and 2021 in ESCI (N = 3,559) and SSCI (N = 1,738) with at least one author linked to a Spanish institution was carried out. The results point to similar structural cohesion values and to a thematic and methodological similarity between both sets observed. There is a marked tendency towards quantitative studies on new technologies. While in SSCI there is an almost absolute dominance of Journalism studies, in ESCI there is a greater diversity of other disciplines such as Audiovisual Communication or Advertising. However, the intellectual structure of the production in SSCI reflects a more specialised character than in ESCI
