Plusieurs études le montrent, l’anglais exerce une grande attraction dans le domaine des sciences. Il s’agit de la lingua franca des sciences, la langue qui permet aux chercheur-se-s provenant d’horizons linguistiques différents de se rencontrer, d’échanger et de diffuser leurs travaux. Les revues internationales de langue anglaise, en comparaison avec celles en français, offrent une […] Lire la suite
Investigating the division of scientific labor using the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT)
Contributorship statements were introduced by scholarly journals in the late 1990s to provide more details on the specific contributions made by authors to research papers. After more than a decade of idiosyncratic taxonomies by journals, a partnership between medical journals and standards organizations has led to the establishment, in 2015, of the Contributor Roles Taxonomy […] Lire la suite
The institutionalized stratification of the Chinese higher education system
To promote research excellence, China’s government has been offering substantial financial support for a small group of selected universities through three national research programs (Project 211, Project 985, Double First Class). However, admission to these programs may not be completely merit based. Based on a statistical analysis of Chinese universities’ scientific activities, this paper shows […] Lire la suite
Interdisciplinary Patterns of Highly Cited Papers: An Analysis from Disciplinary Perspective
Previous research indicated that highly cited papers’ interdisciplinary patterns exhibit higher variety, lower balance and lower disparity. This paper challenges those finding, and compares the variety, balance and disparity of all papers published in 2000, categorized into six percentile-rank classes of citation rates. Our results demonstrate that, in most disciplines, highly cited papers exhibit higher […] Lire la suite
Classifications of science and their effects on bibliometric evaluations
Disciplinary classification of science is essential to bibliometric analyses. Given the conceptual and technical difficulties in classifying individual papers into disciplines and specialties, most classifications systems are implemented at the journal level, which affects the classification of papers published in multidisciplinary journals. In order to investigate the effect of the different classification systems on bibliometric […] Lire la suite

Collection development in the era of big deals
Drawing on an original methodology using citations, downloads, and survey data, this paper analyses journal usage patterns across 28 Canadian universities. Results show that usage levels vary across disciplines, and that different academic platforms varied in their importance to different institutions, with for-profit platforms generally exhibiting lower usage. These results suggest economic inefficiencies exist in […] Lire la suite
