Why is a new Journal of Informetrics needed?
In our study we analysed 3.889 records which were indexed in the Library and
Information Science Abstracts (LISA) database in the research field of
informetrics. We can show the core journals of the field via a Bradford (power
law) distribution and corroborate on the basis of the restricted LISA data set
that it was the appropriate time to found a new specialized journal dedicated
to informetrics. According to Bradford's Law of scattering (pure quantitative
calculation), Egghe's Journal of Informetrics (JOI) first issue to appear in
2007, comes most probable at the right time.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
A Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization of the Scientific Publications of Universities: A Study of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences during 1992-2018
The evaluation of universities from different perspectives is important for their scientific development. Analyzing the scientific papers of a university under the bibliometric approach is one main evaluative approach. The aim of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis and visualization of papers published by Hamadan University of Medical Science (HUMS), Iran, during 1992-2018. This study used bibliometric and visualization techniques. Scopus database was used for data collection. 3753 papers were retrieved by applying Affiliation Search in Scopus advanced search section. Excel and VOSviewer software packages were used for data analysis and bibliometric indicator extraction. An increasing trend was seen in the numbers of HUMS's published papers and received citations. The highest rate of collaboration in national level was with Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Internationally, HUMS's researchers had the highest collaboration with the authors from the United States, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, respectively. All highly-cited papers were published in high level Q1 journals. Term clustering demonstrated four main clusters: epidemiological studies, laboratory studies, pharmacological studies, and microbiological studies. The results of this study can be beneficial to the policy-makers of this university. In addition, researchers and bibliometricians can use this study as a pattern for studying and visualizing the bibliometric indicators of other universities and research institutions
Impact Factor, h-index, i10-index and i20-index of Webology
The purpose of this editorial note was to conduct a citation analysis of the Webology journal in order to show the journal impact factor, h-index, i10-index, i20-index, and patent citations. This note indicates to what extent the Webology journal is used and cited by the international scientific community. The results show that the total number of citations to Webology papers on Google Scholar was 2423 and the total number of citations received by i20 papers (i.e., 24 papers with at least 20 citations) was 1693. This reveals that i20 papers received 70 percent of all citations to Webology
Patent Citations to Webology Journal on the USPTO Database
Patents are an important link of science and technology in any field. The role and influence of patents on scientific research has become increasingly important in recent years. The purpose of the present research was to analyze citations to the Webology journal in patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This study begins with an overview on the importance of patents citations to journals and compares the citation counts provided by the USPTO for Webology, as an open access journal in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) and Computer Science. This study indicates to what extent the Webology journal is used and cited by inventors in the USPTO. We analyzed the distributions of patent citations to Webology. The results show that the total number of patent citations to Webology papers on the USPTO was 13. It seems that technical papers (technology-oriented papers) related to the World Wide Web and search engines published in Webology attracted more citations from patents
Publications Pattern and Collaborations Trend in Webology Journal during 2010-2019: A Bibliometric Analysis
The present study analyses the papers published in Webology journal from 2010 to 2019. The parameters used in the study were: distribution of articles, Authorship Patterns, Collaboration Index (CI), Degree of Collaboration (DC), Collaboration Coefficient (CC), Modified Collaboration Coefficient (MCC), Growth Rate, Lotka’s law, distribution of references and length of references. The study reveals that a total of 138 scholarly papers have been published by LIS professionals across the world. Iran ranked first among the researchers of different countries. The study reveals that the highest number of articles appeared during 2019 and has the maximum Collaboration Index, Collaboration Coefficient, and Modified Collaboration Coefficient. The majority of the contributions received from two authored publications with 28.14% and have an average collaboration of 0.89 which means a presence of good collaboration. A total of 4097 references were observed, where the year 2019 has the highest references (914, 22.31%)
World scientific production on education and COVID 19: a bibliometric analysis
The objective of this study is to characterize the world scientific production on education and COVID-19 between the months of January 2020 to September 2021. A bibliometric study was carried out in five databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Google Academic, Microsoft Academic and Crossref) from which a universe of 5005 articles was extracted. The bibliometric indicators were analyzed with the help of the Publish or Perish v. 7.19 and the same analytical software of the chosen databases. Regarding the most cited article published in the analyzed databases, the one entitled "Medical Student Education in the Time of COVID-19" stands out, which received 419 citations in the Scopus database, 368 in Web of Science, 442 in Crossref, 870 in Google Scholar and 702 in Microsoft Academic. Regarding the authors with the highest scientific production on the subject, Maria Assuncao Flores stands out with 5 publications on the Web of Science and Francisco José GarcÃa-Peñalvo with 5 articles indexed in the Scopus database. Regarding the journals with the highest number of articles on education and COVID-19, Sustainability stands out. These results show that the scientific production referring to education and Covid-19 confirms the radical change generated in education at all levels by the pandemic and the increase in scientific production to try to explore and describe the changing situation resulting from the pandemic in education.
