The site enables users to access articles that would otherwise be paywalled. Since its creation in 2011, Sci- Hub has grown rapidly in popularity. However, until now, the extent of Sci-Hub’s coverage was unclear. As of March 2017, we find that Sci-Hub’s database contains 68.9% of all 81.6 million scholarly articles, which rises to 85.2% for those published in toll access journals.

Sci-Hub Downloads Lead to More Article Citations
THE SCI-HUB EFFECT:SCI-HUB DOWNLOADS LEAD TO MORE ARTICLE CITATIONS Juan C. Correa⇤ Henry Laverde-Rojas Faculty of Business Administration Faculty of Economics University of Economics, Prague, Czechia Universidad Santo Tomás, Bogotá, Colombia [email protected] [email protected] Fernando Marmolejo-Ramos Julian Tejada Centre for Change and Complexity in Learning Departamento de Psicologia University of South Australia Universidade Federal de Sergipe [email protected] [email protected] Štepánˇ Bahník Faculty of Business Administration University of Economics, Prague, Czechia [email protected] ABSTRACT Citations are often used as a metric of the impact of scientific publications. Here, we examine how the number of downloads from Sci-hub as well as various characteristics of publications and their authors predicts future citations. Using data from 12 leading journals in economics, consumer research, neuroscience, and multidisciplinary research, we found that articles downloaded from Sci-hub were cited 1.72 times more than papers not downloaded from Sci-hub and that the number of downloads from Sci-hub was a robust predictor of future citations. Among other characteristics of publications, the number of figures in a manuscript consistently predicts its future citations. The results suggest that limited access to publications may limit some scientific research from achieving its full impact. Keywords Sci-hub Citations Scientific Impact Scholar Consumption Knowledge dissemination · · · · Introduction Science and its outputs are essential in daily life, as they help to understand our world and provide a basis for better decisions. Although scientific findings are often cited in social media and shared outside the scientific community [1], their primary use is what we could call “scholar consumption.” This phenomenon includes using websites that provide subscription-based access to massive databases of scientific research [2].

Anne-Wil Harzing* 1, Ron van der Wal2 1 Department of Management, University of Melbourne, Parkville Campus, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia * Email: [email protected] 2 Tarma Software Research, GPO Box 4063, Melbourne, Victoria 3001 Australia Running head: citation analysis with Google Scholar Key words: Google Scholar, citation analysis, publish or perish, h-index, g-index, journal impact factor Abstract Traditionally, the most commonly used source of bibliometric data is Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge, in particular the (Social) Science Citation Index and the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), which provide the yearly Journal Impact Factors (JIF). This paper presents an alternative source of data (Google Scholar, GS) as well as three alternatives to the JIF to assess journal impact (the h-index, g-index and the number of citations per paper). Because of its broader range of data sources, the use of GS generally results in more comprehensive citation coverage in the area of Management and International Business. The use of GS particularly benefits academics publishing in sources that are not (well) covered in ISI. Among these are: books, conference papers, non-US journals, and in general journals in the field of Strategy and International Business.

On the Relation Between the Wos Impact Factor, the Eigenfactor, the Scimago Journal Rank, the Article Influence Score and the Journal H-Index
1 On the relation between the WoS impact factor, the Eigenfactor, the SCImago Journal Rank, the Article Influence Score and the journal h-index Ronald ROUSSEAU 1 and the STIMULATE 8 GROUP 2 1 KHBO, Dept. Industrial Sciences and Technology, Oostende, Belgium [email protected] 2Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium The STIMULATE 8 Group consists of: Anne Sylvia ACHOM (Uganda), Helen Hagos BERHE (Ethiopia), Sangeeta Namdev DHAMDHERE (India), Alicia ESGUERRA (The Philippines), Nguyen Thi Ngoc HOAN (Vietnam), John KIYAGA (Uganda), Sheldon Miti MAPONGA (Zimbabwe), Yohannis MARTÍ- LAHERA (Cuba), Kelefa Tende MWANTIMWA (Tanzania), Marlon G. OMPOC (The Philippines), A.I.M. Jakaria RAHMAN (Bangladesh), Bahiru Shifaw YIMER (Ethiopia). Abstract Four alternatives to the journal Impact Factor (IF) indicator are compared to find out their similarities. Together with the IF, the SCImago Journal Rank indicator (SJR), the EigenfactorTM score, the Article InfluenceTM score and the journal h- index of 77 journals from more than ten fields were collected. Results show that although those indicators are calculated with different methods and even use different databases, they are strongly correlated with the WoS IF and among each other. These findings corroborate results published by several colleagues and show the feasibility of using free alternatives to the Web of Science for evaluating scientific journals. Keywords: WoS impact factor, Eigenfactor, SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), Article Influence Score, journal h-index, correlations Introduction STIMULATE stands for Scientific and Technological Information Management in Universities and Libraries: an Active Training Environment. It is an international training programme in information management, supported by the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR), aiming at young scientists and professionals from 2 developing countries.

Email: [email protected] 7 8 Abstract 9 10 A journal ranking system called QUALIS was implemented in Brazil in 2009, intended to rank 11 graduate programs from different subject areas and promote selected national journals. Since this 12 system uses a complicated suit of criteria (differing among subject areas) to group journals into 13 discrete categories, it could potentially create incentives to publish in low-impact journals ranked 14 highly by QUALIS. Here I assess the influence of the QUALIS journal ranking system on the 15 global impact of Brazilian science. Results reveal a steeper decrease in the number of citations 16 per document since the implementation of this QUALIS system, compared to the top Latin 17 American countries publishing more scientific articles. All the subject areas making up the 18 QUALIS system showed some degree of bias, with social sciences being usually more biased 19 than natural sciences. Lastly, the decrease in the number of citations over time proved steeper in a 20 more biased area, suggesting a faster shift towards low-impact journals ranked highly by 21 QUALIS.

However, the number of conferences is rapidly increasing globally and many unsolicited e-mails are received from conference organizers. These e-mails take time for researchers to read and ascertain their legitimacy. Because not every conference is of high quality, there is a need for young researchers and scholars to recognize the so-called “predatory conferences” which make a profit from unsuspecting researchers without the core purpose of advancing science or collaboration. Unlike journals that possess accreditation indices, there is no appropriate accreditation for international conferences. Here, a bibliometric measure is proposed that enables scholars to evaluate conference quality before attending.

Citation Analysis: Web of Science, Scopus
Citation analysis: Web of science, scopus Masoud Mohammadi Golestan University of Medical Sciences Information Management and Research Network Citation Analysis • Citation analysis is the study of the impact and assumed quality of an article, an author, or an institution based on the number of times works and/or authors have been cited by others • Citation analysis is the examination of the frequency, patterns, and graphs of citations in documents. It uses the pattern of citations, links from one document to another document, to reveal properties of the documents. A typical aim would be to identify the most important documents in a collection. A classic example is that of the citations between academic articles and books.The judgements produced by judges of law to support their decisions refer back to judgements made in earlier cases so citation analysis in a legal context is important. Another example is provided by patents which contain prior art, citation earlier patents relevant to the current claim. Citation Databases • Citation databases are databases that have been developed for evaluating publications. The citation databases enable you to count citations and check, for example, which articles or journals are the most cited ones • In a citation database you get information about who has cited an article and how many times an author has been cited. You can also list all articles citing the same source. • Most important citation database are • “Web of Science”, • “Scopus” • “Google Scholar” Web of Sciences • Web of Science is owned and produced by Thomson Reuters. WoS is composed of three databases containing citations from international scientific journals: • Arts & Humanities Citation Index - AHCI • Social Sciences Citation Index - SSCI • Science Citation Index - SCI • Journal Coverage: • Aims to include the best journals of all fields.
