Measuring national self-referencing patterns of major science producers
This paper analyzes national self-referencing patterns (i.e. the tendency of researchers to cite from the same country) of six major science producers (China, France, Germany, Japan, UK, and USA). While the results highlight a continuing decline of national references (except for China), all countries’ referencing patterns remain heavily oriented towards national papers throughout the 1980–2017 […] Lire la suite
On the topicality and research impact of special issues
The publication of special issues constitute an important yet underinvestigated phenomenon of scholarly communication. In an attempt to draw attention to the proliferation of special issues, Priem (2006) suggested that their commissioning has an underestimated opportunity cost, given the relative scarcity of publication space: by distorting the “marketplace for ideas” through the commanding of preselected […] Lire la suite
On the institutional and intellectual division of labor in epigenetics research: A scientometric analysis
Si de nombreuses analyses socio-scientifiques qualitatives en épigénétique (environnementale) ont été publiées, il nous manque encore une évaluation quantitative du champ que constitue l’épigénétique dans son ensemble. Cet article a pour but de combler cette lacune. En mobilisant une version augmentée de Web of Science, nous avons constitué un corpus de 199,484 documents (articles, comptes […] Lire la suite
The national system of researchers in Mexico: implications of publication incentives for researchers in social sciences
This article explores the effects of the Mexican National System of Researchers (SNI) on social science researchers’ scientific output and publication practices. SNI operates as a system of pecuniary bonuses for scientific activity; these are granted monthly and calculated according to a combination of an ex-post peer review with bibliometric assessment of researchers based on […] Lire la suite
Cartographier l’évolution du contenu de la revue Archives au moyen des techniques de fouille de textes et de bibliométrie
À l’occasion du 50e anniversaire de l’Association des archivistes du Québec (AAQ), cinq professionnels de l’archivistique ont réalisé une analyse du contenu de la revue Archives à partir d’une approche basée sur des techniques de fouille de textes, complétée par une analyse bibliométrique. Ces techniques facilitent le traitement de grandes quantités de données afin d’en […] Lire la suite
Does the Web of Science Accurately Represent Chinese Scientific Performance?
With the significant development of China’s economy and scientific activity, its scientific publication activity is experiencing a period of rapid growth. However, measuring China’s research output remains a challenge because Chinese scholars may publish their research in either international or national journals, yet no bibliometric database covers both the Chinese and English scientific literature. The […] Lire la suite
The citation advantage of foreign language references for Chinese social science papers
Contemporary scientific exchanges are international, yet language continues to be a persistent barrier to scientific communication, particularly for non-native English-speaking scholars. Since the ability to absorb knowledge has a strong impact on how researchers create new scientific knowledge, comprehensive access to and understanding of both domestic and international scientific publications is essential for scientific performance. […] Lire la suite
On the development of China’s leadership in international collaborations
This paper studies the relationship between leadership, team size, and citation impact in China’s international research output from 1980 to 2016, measured in terms of number of authors, institutions, countries, and citations. Distinction is here made between leading and non-leading Chinese international collaborations, which respectively refer to papers whose first or corresponding author is affiliated […] Lire la suite
Mesurer la science
Dans la foulée de la publication de son ouvrage Mesurer la science (coécrit avec C. Sugimoto), Vincent Larivière aborde les divers enjeux liés à la mesure de la science et à l’étude de celle-ci comme objet social. Lire la suite
Mesurer la science
L’ensemble de la communauté scientifique réclame depuis plusieurs années des indicateurs fiables permettant de mesurer les répercussions de la recherche. La ferveur inégalée autour de la mesure de l’influence de la recherche, combinée avec les nouveaux modes de diffusion des connaissances à l’ère numérique, a révolutionné le domaine de la scientométrie. Il s’agit là d’une […] Lire la suite
