  • A Scientometric Analysis
    Tropical Ecology 59(3): 431–443, 2018 ISSN 0564-3295 © International Society for Tropical Ecology www.tropecol.com Global research trends in ‘Ecology’: A scientometric analysis 1* 2 ANWESHA BORTHAKUR & PARDEEP SINGH 1Centre for Studies in Science Policy, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi-110067, India 2Department of Environmental Studies, PGDAV College, University of Delhi, New Delhi-110065, India Abstract: Ecological research has observed a near constant growth during the past few decades. Considering the significance and diversity of ecological research with regard to both its vastness and specificity, this paper is an attempt to map out the research activities in ‘ecology’ through a ‘scientometric analysis’ of the world research outputs. The aim was to identify and document the historical and current research trajectories in the subject. We recognize the fact that in the absence of an in-depth analysis of the trends in research, it is utterly possible that some areas of research get more than adequate attention from the global research and policy community while some equally important areas of the subject remain completely unaddressed or neglected. The study was carried out using two major databases – Scopus and SCImago for the 21 years period from 1996 to 2016 by means of a defined scientific method. Among the several interesting observations, we have found that apart from China, no countries and research institutes from the global south are listed among the top 10 research producing countries/institutes on ecology. Considering the fact that majority of the ecologically sensitive areas and biodiversity hotspots of the world are located in the developing world and have significance influences on the ecological processes across the globe, this calls for immediate attention from the research community.

We selected this number as a threshold to define and study outlier, hyperprolific authors. Of course, published papers may reflect the final presentation of work that has happened over many years, but focusing on calendar years allows to study peaks in productivity and to use a clearly definable time unit. 1 We identified all author records in Scopus that included 73 or more published full papers in any single calendar year between 2000 and 2016. Full papers included in our analysis are the ones classified as Articles, Conference Papers and Reviews in Scopus. All other Scopus categories of published items (Editorials, Letters, Notes, Short Surveys, Errata, and so forth) were excluded. Papers take variable amounts of effort to produce. For items such as editorials, notes, letters to the editor, in theory large numbers of publications are possible to produce by authors who have a talent, proclivity or obsession for writing; such works may occasionally be very important and influential, but they take, on average, substantially less time to produce than Articles, Conference Papers and Reviews.

The following parameters of the array were analyzed: publication dynamics; document types structure; countries, organizations and authors leading in the number of publications; thematic categories to which documents of the array are assigned; publications (journals, monographs) in which the documents of the array are published; most cited publications. An increase in the number of publications on the ASNs in WoS was established since 2005. The largest number of ASNs studies is conducted in the USA (University of Pittsburgh), UK (Wolverhampton University, Manchester University), China, Spain (University of Granada), Germany (Max Planck Society for Scientic Research), Canada, India and the Netherlands (Leiden University).

  • Special Collections: Proposal and Guidelines for Potential Guest Editors Special Collections Are an Important Component of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine
    Special Collections: Proposal and Guidelines for Potential Guest Editors Special Collections are an important component of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine. They are an opportunity for the journal to cultivate a collection of articles around a specific topic, meeting/conference, or newsworthy development that falls within the scope of the journal. They should be organized by recognized experts in the area and attract articles of the highest quality. Special Collections are highlighted on the homepage for increased visibility and in most cases receive their own dedicated marketing efforts. Special Collections can be a continuously published section in a journal, or exist as a fixed set of articles. As the Guest Editor, you have the chance to shape the content, define the aims & scope of the collection, and collaborate with colleagues around a topic of particular interest to your personal research. Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine Aims and Scope Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine (GGM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed open access journal where scholars from a variety of disciplines present their work focusing on the psychological, behavioral, social, and biological aspects of aging, and public health services and research related to aging. The journal addresses a wide variety of topics related to health services research in gerontology and geriatrics. GGM seeks to be one of the world’s premier Open Access outlets for gerontological academic research. As such, GGM does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers will be subjected to rigorous peer review but will be selected solely on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication.

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.

  • Ranking Forestry Journals Using the H-Index
    Ranking forestry journals using the h-index Journal of Informetrics, in press Jerome K Vanclay Southern Cross University PO Box 157, Lismore NSW 2480, Australia [email protected] Abstract An expert ranking of forestry journals was compared with journal impact factors and h -indices computed from the ISI Web of Science and internet-based data. Citations reported by Google Scholar offer an efficient way to rank all journals objectively, in a manner consistent with other indicators. This h-index exhibited a high correlation with the journal impact factor (r=0.92), but is not confined to journals selected by any particular commercial provider. A ranking of 180 forestry journals is presented, on the basis of this index. Keywords : Hirsch index, Research quality framework, Journal impact factor, journal ranking, forestry Introduction The Thomson Scientific (TS) Journal Impact Factor (JIF; Garfield, 1955) has been the dominant measure of journal impact, and is often used to rank journals and gauge relative importance, despite several recognised limitations (Hecht et al., 1998; Moed et al., 1999; van Leeuwen et al., 1999; Saha et al., 2003; Dong et al., 2005; Moed, 2005; Dellavalle et al., 2007). Other providers offer alternative journal rankings (e.g., Lim et al., 2007), but most deal with a small subset of the literature in any discipline. Hirsch’s h-index (Hirsch, 2005; van Raan, 2006; Bornmann & Daniel, 2007a) has been suggested as an alternative that is reliable, robust and easily computed (Braun et al., 2006; Chapron and Husté, 2006; Olden, 2007; Rousseau, 2007; Schubert and Glänzel, 2007; Vanclay, 2007; 2008).

  • Preprints in Medicine: Useful Or Harmful?
    OPINION published: 22 September 2020 doi: 10.3389/fmed.2020.579100 Preprints in Medicine: Useful or Harmful? Bruno Bonnechère 1,2* 1 Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral and Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 2 Public Health School, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium Keywords: preprint, publications, data repository, public, publication science INTRODUCTION Research and its associated publications have had a considerable impact on the care and monitoring of the patients since evidence-based medicine became standard for modern medicine during the 1990s (1). Peer-reviewing is a fundamental component of scientific publication. The peer-review process first includes an evaluation of the quality and interest in the paper for the reader of the journal by the editor who, if he or she considers the article to be of interest, sends it to the external reviewers (2). If the paper is found to be interesting and of sufficient quality, the reviewers ask questions and make comments to which the researcher must respond in a rebuttal letter. If the answers are satisfactory, the article can be published. This is a time-consuming process, typically lasting months, and authors complain about the review time, which has been relatively stable since Edited by: the 1980s (3). Sandor Kerpel-Fronius, Semmelweis University, Hungary THE EVOLUTION OF SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS Reviewed by: Lise Aagaard, In previous decades, the world of scientific publishing has changed enormously with an explosion Independent Researcher, in the number of publishers and journals.
