No generalizable gold OA citation advantage at journal level.
Big Science and cross‐disciplinary collaborations have reshaped the intellectual structure of research areas. A number of works have tried to uncover this hidden intellectual structure.
Bibliometrics for the 20 highest performing authors in Multidisciplinary Science.
Rather than repealing or replacing the impact factor, its producers should rename it to reflect its intended function more accurately.
When comparing journals using citation-based metrics, the percentage of highly cited papers is more informative than the average number of citations.
Self-citations, if left unchecked, can have a negative impact on the scientific workforce, the way that we publish new knowledge, and ultimately the course of scientific advance.
Scholarly work cited in patent literature and the value of the patents as perceived by the applicants of 200 leading global research institutions.
We propose to use an approach that yields a simple numerical measure of veracity, the R-factor, by summarizing the outcomes of already published studies that have attempted to test a claim.
Although there are differences among journals across the spectrum of JIFs, the citation distributions overlap extensively, demonstrating that the citation performance of individual papers cannot be inferred from the JIF.
An analysis of 15 million English scientific full-text articles published during the period 1823-2016.
The bibliometric system and the rules which accompany it have created an environment in which many if not most researchers can be identified as transgressors.
In the three months following the Initiative for Open Citations' launch, the percentage of articles with open reference data has moved from 40% to over 45%.
Authors from western, individualist cultures are more likely to use many self-citations than authors from more collectivist cultures.
Evaluating academic performance on the basis of journal publications is skewing research priorities. This does our public funders a disservice.
Academic promotion panels must take into account a scholar’s presence in popular media.
Novel public/private partnership connects researchers to verified versions of an estimated 18 million new open access articles from Web of Science.
The characterization of scholarly communication is dominated by citation-based measures. In this paper we propose several metrics to describe different facets of open access and open research.
