The inaccurate representation of an author’s publishing name, and impact on reference accuracy Scientometrics (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Jaime A. Teixeira da Silva
Authors with compound family names face a constant set of challenges in having their names accurately represented in the scientific literature. In my personal case (Teixeira da Silva, JA), an as-yet-unquantified body of literature miscites me (and thus my work) as “da Silva, JAT”, “Silva, JA”, or other inaccurate forms. This paper provides evidence of the modification and thus misrepresentation of

Understanding differences of the OA uptake within the German University landscape (2010–2020): Part 2—repository-provided OA Scientometrics (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Niels Taubert, Anne Hobert, Najko Jahn, Andre Bruns, Elham Iravani
This article is the second part of the investigation of the determinants for the uptake of Open Access (OA). While the first part focusses on journal-based OA (hybrid and full OA) (Taubert et al. in Scientometrics 128(6):3601–3625, 2023), the article at hand investigates the determinants for the uptake of institutional and subject repository OA in the university landscape of Germany.

International research collaboration is a crucial determinant of scientific productivity, but it remains an underdeveloped task for governments, universities and research systems. Despite important economic and institutional efforts to promote collaborations, not all researchers establish successful international connections during their academic careers. This lack of international contacts hinders

Determining the reputation of academic journals is an crucial issue. The Author Affiliation Index (AAI) was proposed as a novel indicator for judging journal quality in many academic disciplines. Nevertheless, the original AAI has several potential limitations, some of which have been discussed and addressed in previous studies. In this paper, we modified the original AAI by incorporating diversity

Determining scale and scope economies in Korean private universities: an input distance function approach Scientometrics (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-04 Mehdi Shamohammadi
Over the past few decades, South Korea has prioritized higher education to boost knowledge-based economic development. This study investigates Korean private universities’ scale and scope economies using several input/output variables and employs them using a stochastic frontier analysis of the input distance function. As our dataset does not comprise price-based information, the duality approach between

Internal factors promoting research collaboration problems: an input-process-output analysis Scientometrics (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-02 Malte Hückstädt, Luca M. Leisten
Research collaborations are crucial for scientific progress, but their success is often compromised by internal collaboration problems. While previous work is often small-scaled and largely based on case studies and qualitative work, we present a large-scale, quantitative, and representative study to investigate important drivers behind research collaboration problems in various disciplines.

Skewed distributions of scientists’ productivity: a research program for the empirical analysis Scientometrics (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-01
Abstract Only a few scientists are able to publish a substantial number of papers every year; most of the scientists have an output of only a few publications or no publications at all. Several theories (e.g., the “sacred spark” theory) have been proposed in the past to explain these productivity differences that are complementary and focus on different aspects in the publication process.

Analysis on open data as a foundation for data-driven research Scientometrics (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-01
Abstract Open Data, one of the key elements of Open Science, serves as a foundation for “data-driven research” and has been promoted in many countries. However, the current status of the use of publicly available data consisting of Open Data in new research styles and the impact of such use remains unclear. Following a comparative analysis in terms of the coverage with the OpenAIRE Graph, we analyzed

The phenomenon of plagiarism in peer-review evaluation reports remained surprisingly unrecognized, despite a notable rise of such cases in recent years. This study reports multiple cases of peer-review plagiarism recently detected in 50 different scientific articles published in 19 journals. Their in-depth analysis reveals that such reviews tend to be nonsensical, vague and unrelated to the actual

Citations to papers published in European Science Editing from 2020 to 2022: assessment using Scopus, Dimensions, Google Scholar, and Altmetrics Scientometrics (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Jaime A. Teixeira da Silva
A recent paper published in European Science Editing (ESE; https://doi.org/10.3897/ese.2023.e102691) assessed that journal’s citations in 38 papers published between 2020 and 2022 using Dimensions and Scopus. The rationale for that study was that Dimensions, unlike Scopus, was “free”, and thus a useful substitute for bibliometric analyses, but it is contended herein that the latter claim is not entirely
