Exploratory Analysis of Publons Metrics and Their Relationship with Bibliometric and Altmetric Impact
Exploratory analysis of Publons metrics and their relationship with bibliometric and altmetric impact José Luis Ortega Institute for Advanced Social Studies (IESA-CSIC), Córdoba, Spain, [email protected] Abstract Purpose: This study aims to analyse the metrics provided by Publons about the scoring of publications and their relationship with impact measurements (bibliometric and altmetric indicators). Design/methodology/approach: In January 2018, 45,819 research articles were extracted from Publons, including all their metrics (scores, number of pre and post reviews, reviewers, etc.). Using the DOI identifier, other metrics from altmetric providers were gathered to compare the scores of those publications in Publons with their bibliometric and altmetric impact in PlumX, Altmetric.com and Crossref Event Data (CED). Findings: The results show that (1) there are important biases in the coverage of Publons according to disciplines and publishers; (2) metrics from Publons present several problems as research evaluation indicators; and (3) correlations between bibliometric and altmetric counts and the Publons metrics are very weak (r<.2) and not significant. Originality/value: This is the first study about the Publons metrics at article level and their relationship with other quantitative measures such as bibliometric and altmetric indicators. Keywords: Publons, Altmetrics, Bibliometrics, Peer-review 1. Introduction Traditionally, peer-review has been the most appropriate way to validate scientific advances. Since the first beginning of the scientific revolution, scientific theories and discoveries were discussed and agreed by the research community, as a way to confirm and accept new knowledge. This validation process has arrived until our days as a suitable tool for accepting the most relevant manuscripts to academic journals, allocating research funds or selecting and promoting scientific staff.

Inter-Rater Reliability and Convergent Validity of F1000prime Peer Review
Accepted for publication in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology Inter-rater reliability and convergent validity of F1000Prime peer review Lutz Bornmann Division for Science and Innovation Studies Administrative Headquarters of the Max Planck Society Hofgartenstr. 8, 80539 Munich, Germany. Email: [email protected] Abstract Peer review is the backbone of modern science. F1000Prime is a post-publication peer review system of the biomedical literature (papers from medical and biological journals). This study is concerned with the inter-rater reliability and convergent validity of the peer recommendations formulated in the F1000Prime peer review system. The study is based on around 100,000 papers with recommendations from Faculty members. Even if intersubjectivity plays a fundamental role in science, the analyses of the reliability of the F1000Prime peer review system show a rather low level of agreement between Faculty members. This result is in agreement with most other studies which have been published on the journal peer review system. Logistic regression models are used to investigate the convergent validity of the F1000Prime peer review system. As the results show, the proportion of highly cited papers among those selected by the Faculty members is significantly higher than expected. In addition, better recommendation scores are also connected with better performance of the papers. Keywords F1000; F1000Prime; Peer review; Highly cited papers; Adjusted predictions; Adjusted predictions at representative values 2 1 Introduction The first known cases of peer-review in science were undertaken in 1665 for the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (Bornmann, 2011). Today, peer review is the backbone of science (Benda & Engels, 2011); without a functioning and generally accepted evaluation instrument, the significance of research could hardly be evaluated.

Validity of Altmetrics Data for Measuring Societal Impact
Accepted for publication in the Journal of Informetrics Validity of altmetrics data for measuring societal impact: A study using data from Altmetric and F1000Prime Lutz Bornmann Division for Science and Innovation Studies Administrative Headquarters of the Max Planck Society Hofgartenstr. 8, 80539 Munich, Germany. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Can altmetric data be validly used for the measurement of societal impact? The current study seeks to answer this question with a comprehensive dataset (about 100,000 records) from very disparate sources (F1000, Altmetric, and an in-house database based on Web of Science). In the F1000 peer review system, experts attach particular tags to scientific papers which indicate whether a paper could be of interest for science or rather for other segments of society. The results show that papers with the tag “good for teaching” do achieve higher altmetric counts than papers without this tag – if the quality of the papers is controlled. At the same time, a higher citation count is shown especially by papers with a tag that is specifically scientifically oriented (“new finding”). The findings indicate that papers tailored for a readership outside the area of research should lead to societal impact. If altmetric data is to be used for the measurement of societal impact, the question arises of its normalization. In bibliometrics, citations are normalized for the papers’ subject area and publication year. This study has taken a second analytic step involving a possible normalization of altmetric data. As the results show there are particular scientific topics which are of especial interest for a wide audience.

Open Science and the Role of Publishers in Reproducible Research
Open science and the role of publishers in reproducible research Authors: Iain Hrynaszkiewicz (Faculty of 1000), Peter Li (BGI), Scott Edmunds (BGI) Chapter summary Reproducible computational research is and will be facilitated by the wide availability of scientific data, literature and code which is freely accessible and, furthermore, licensed such that it can be reused, inteGrated and built upon to drive new scientific discoveries without leGal impediments. Scholarly publishers have an important role in encouraGing and mandating the availability of data and code accordinG to community norms and best practices, and developinG innovative mechanisms and platforms for sharinG and publishinG products of research, beyond papers in journals. Open access publishers, in particular the first commercial open access publisher BioMed Central, have played a key role in the development of policies on open access and open data, and increasing the use by scientists of leGal tools – licenses and waivers – which maximize reproducibility. Collaborations, between publishers and funders of scientific research, are vital for the successful implementation of reproducible research policies. The genomics and, latterly, other ‘omics communities historically have been leaders in the creation and wide adoption of policies on public availability of data. This has been throuGh policies, such as Fort Lauderdale and the Bermuda Principles; infrastructure, such as the INSDC databases; and incentives, such as conditions of journal publication. We review some of these policies and practices, and how these events relate to the open access publishinG movement. We describe the implementation and adoption of licenses and waivers prepared by Creative Commons, in science publishinG, with a focus on licensing of research data published in scholarly journals and data repositories.

Bibliometrics to Altmetrics: a Changing Trend
International Journal of Library and Information Studies Vol.7(4) Oct-Dec, 2017 ISSN: 2231-4911 Bibliometrics to Altmetrics: A Changing Trend Ajay Kumar Chaubey Junior Research Fellow Department of Library and Information Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005 Email: [email protected] Abstract - Altmetrics include a much broader spectrum of measurements like citation counts, web based references, article views/downloads, social media mentions, news media mentions, etc. Traditional means of measuring the quality of new knowledge like the impact factor and h-index are being more effective and more meaningful through the addition of new, social media based altmetrics. altmetrics could reflect an alternative dimension of the research performance, close, perhaps, to science popularization and networking abilities, but far from citation impact. altmetrics are especially encouraging for research fields in the humanities that currently are difficult to study using established bibliometric methods. In this paper introduce altmetrics, their uses and its possible implications in libraries. The present study is based on review of published work in the field of altmetrics, bibliometrics and library and information Science. Keyword: Altmetrics, Social Media, Bibliometrics,Scientometrics Introduction: The statistical analysis of scientific literature began in 1917 by Cole and Eales in his study “History of Comparative anatomy”. These studied the contributions in the field of anatomy by counting the number of publications produced by different countries. In 1923 the study was conducted by Hulme, entitled "Statistical Analysis of the history of Science" which analysis was based on the original entries in the seventeen sections of the "English International catalogue of Scientific Literature. In 1926, A.J.

Interpreting “Altmetrics”: Viewing Acts on Social Media Through the Lens of Citation and Social Theories
To be published in: Cassidy R. Sugimoto (Ed.). Theories of Informetrics: A Festschrift in Honor of Blaise Cronin Interpreting “altmetrics”: viewing acts on social media through the lens of citation and social theories *,1 1 2 Stefanie Haustein , Timothy D. Bowman & Rodrigo Costas *[email protected] 1 École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l’information, Université de Montréal, C.P. 6128, Succ. Centre-Ville, Montréal, QC, H3C 3J7 (Canada) 2 Center for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, Wassenaarseweg 62A, 2333 AL Leiden (The Netherlands) 1. Introduction More than 30 years after Blaise Cronin’s seminal paper (Cronin, 1981; see reprint in this book) the metrics community is once again in need of a new theory, this time one for so-called “altmetrics”. Altmetrics, short for alternative (to citation) metrics —and as such a misnomer— refers to a new group of metrics based (largely) on social media events relating to scholarly communication. The term originated on 29 September 2010 in a tweet by Jason Priem in which he uttered his preference for the word altmetrics in the context of various metrics provided for PLOS journal articles: “I like the term #articlelevelmetrics, but it fails to imply *diversity* of measures. Lately, I’m liking #altmetrics.” (Priem, 2010). Although Priem is responsible for coining the term, the idea of measuring broader scientific impact through the web and had been discussed by Cronin and others (e.g., Almind & Ingwersen, 1997; Cronin, Snyder, Rosenbaum, Martinson, & Callahan, 1998; Cronin, 2001; see also Thelwall's chapter in this book) in the context of webometrics years before: Scholars may be cited formally, or merely mentioned en passant in listservs and others electronic discussion fora, or they may find that they have been included in reading lists or electronic syllabi.

A Conversation with Jane Hunter and Rebecca Lawrence on 03/15/13
A conversation with Jane Hunter and Rebecca Lawrence on 03/15/13 Participants • Jane Hunter — Managing Director, Faculty of 1000 (F1000) • Rebecca Lawrence — Publisher, F1000Research • Alexander Berger — Senior Research Analyst, GiveWell Note: This set of notes was compiled by GiveWell and gives an overview of the major points made by Jane Hunter and Rebecca Lawrence. Summary Faculty of 1000 (F1000) runs F1000Prime, a post-publication review service in biomedicine, and recently launched F1000Research, a new open access journal that has several novel aspects: • Articles are published without delay • Peer review is post-publication, public, and reviewers are named • Data must be deposited publicly • Non-traditional research outputs (e.g. data) are published We spoke with F1000 Managing Director Jane Hunter and F1000Research Publisher Rebecca Lawrence to learn more about F1000 and their new journal. Background on Faculty of 1000 Vitek Tracz is a serial entrepreneur in the scientific, technical and medical (STM) publication industry. Vitek Tracz founded and owns Faculty of 1000 (F1000). He has worked in open access publishing in the past: he founded BioMed Central, which was one of the first open access scientific publishers. BioMed Central was successful, and was purchased by Springer in 2008. F1000Prime F1000Prime is a service that does post-publication peer reviews of biology and medicine articles. F1000Prime filters the very large number of articles for the ones that are of greatest significance. It helps scientists identify good science both in their area of specialty and on the periphery of what they work on. Some alternative metrics (altmetrics) incorporate F1000Prime’s recommendations. When F1000 started (in 2002), F1000Prime was the first product, and the reviewers consisted of 1,000 top researchers in a variety of fields of biology.
