The Journal Coverage of Web of Science and Scopus: a Comparative Analysis Philippe Mongeon and Adèle Paul-Hus [email protected]; [email protected] Université de Montréal, École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l'information, C.P. 6128, Succ. Centre-Ville, H3C 3J7 Montréal, Qc, Canada Abstract Bibliometric methods are used in multiple fields for a variety of purposes, namely for research evaluation. Most bibliometric analyses have in common their data sources: Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier’s Scopus. This research compares the journal coverage of both databases in terms of fields, countries and languages, using Ulrich’s extensive periodical directory as a base for comparison. Results indicate that the use of either WoS or Scopus for research evaluation may introduce biases that favor Natural Sciences and Engineering as well as Biomedical Research to the detriment of Social Sciences and Arts and Humanities. Similarly, English-language journals are overrepresented to the detriment of other languages. While both databases share these biases, their coverage differs substantially. As a consequence, the results of bibliometric analyses may vary depending on the database used. Keywords Bibliometrics, citations indexes, Scopus, Web of Science, research evaluation Introduction Bibliometric and scientometric methods have multiple and varied application realms, that goes from information science, sociology and history of science to research evaluation and scientific policy (Gingras, 2014). Large scale bibliometric research was made possible by the creation and development of the Science Citation Index (SCI) in 1963, which is now part of Web of Science (WoS) alongside two other indexes: the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) (Wouters, 2006). -

Earlier Web Usage Statistics as Predictors of Later Citation Impact Tim Brody, Stevan Harnad Abstract: The use of citation counts to assess the impact of research articles is well established. However, the citation impact of an article can only be measured several years after it has been published. As research articles are increasingly accessed through the Web, the number of times an article is downloaded can be instantly recorded and counted. One would expect the number of times an article is read to be related both to the number of times it is cited and to how old the article is. This paper analyses how short-term Web usage impact predicts medium-term citation impact. The physics e-print archive – arXiv.org – is used to test this. Introduction Peer-reviewed journal article publication is the primary mode of communication and record of scientific research. Researchers – as authors – write articles that contain experimental results, theories, reviews, and so on. To relate their findings to previous findings, authors cite other articles. Authors cite an article if they (a) know of the article, (b) believe it to be relevant to their own article and (c) believe it to be important enough to cite explicitly (i.e., there is both a relevance and an importance judgment inherent in choosing what to cite). It is probably safe to assume that the majority of citations will be positive, but even negative citations (where an author cites an article only to say it is wrong or to disagree with it) will refer to articles the author judges relevant and important enough to warrant rebuttal. -

Citebase Search: Autonomous Citation Database for E-Print Archives
Citebase Search: Autonomous Citation Database for e-Print Archives Citebase Search: Autonomous Citation Database for e-Print Archives Tim Brody <[email protected]> Intelligence, Agents, Multimedia Group University of Southampton Abstract Citebase is a culmination of the Opcit Project and the Open Archives Initiative. The Opcit Project's aim to citation-link arXiv.org was coupled with the interoperability of the OAI to develop a cross-archive search engine with the ability to harvest, parse, and link research paper bibliographies. These citation links create a classic citation database which is used to generate citation analysis and navigation over the e- print literature. Citebase is now linked from arXiv.org, alongside SLAC/SPIRES, and is integrated with e- Prints.org repositories using Paracite. Introduction Citebase Search is a Web service that harvests research articles from online, e- print archives (both pre- and post- peer-reviewed articles). Citebase parses references from the full-text, citation-linking those references to the cited articles. This is the basis for a classical citation database. Citebase was first announced in December 2001 [1], although it was not until Citebase was integrated in August 2002 with arXiv.org that any sizeable number of users started to use Citebase. As an add-on to arXiv.org, arXiv provides links from its abstract pages to the equivalent abstract page in Citebase. Citebase currently draws most of its traffic from users following these links, without them then going onto use Citebase’s own search service (see Figure 1). In the first section I will introduce the motivation behind Citebase, section 2 gives some of the structure of the system, section 3 introduces the service as seen by the user and section 4 gives an example of some of the data mining that can be performed on Citebase’s database. -
Russian Index of Science Citation: Overview and Review
Russian Index of Science Citation: Overview and Review Olga Moskaleva,1 Vladimir Pislyakov,2 Ivan Sterligov,3 Mark Akoev,4 Svetlana Shabanova5 1 [email protected] Saint Petersburg State University, Saint Petersburg (Russia) 2 [email protected] National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow (Russia) 3 [email protected] National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow (Russia) 4 [email protected] Ural Federal University, Ekaterinburg (Russia) 5 [email protected] Scientific Electronic Library, Moscow (Russia) Abstract At the beginning of 2016 the new index was launched on the Web of Science platform — Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI). The database is free for all Web of Science subscribers except those from the former Soviet Union republics. This database includes publications from the 652 best Russian journals and is based on the data from Russian national citation index — Russian Index of Science Citation (RISC). Though RISC was launched in 2005 but there is not much information about it in English-language scholarly literature by now. The aim of this paper is to describe the history, actual structure and user possibilities of RISC. We also draw attention to the novel features of RISC which are crucial to bibliometrics and unavailable in international citation indices. Introduction. History and main objectives of RISC RISC was launched in 2005 as a government-funded project primarily aimed at creating a comprehensive bibliographic/citation database of Russian scholarly publishing for evaluation purposes based on Scientific Electronic Library (further eLIBRARY.RU) which started as a full- text database of scholarly literature for grantholders of Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR). -
Rapid Changes of Serbian Scientific Journals and Their Quality, Visibility
Rapid Changes of Serbian Scientific Journals: Their Quality, Visibility and Role in Science Locally and Globally Aleksandra Popovic University of Belgrade, University Library “Svetozar Markovic”, Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 71, Belgrade, Serbia. [email protected] Sanja Antonic University of Belgrade, University Library “Svetozar Markovic”, Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 71, Belgrade, Serbia. [email protected] Stela Filipi Matutinovic University of Belgrade, University Library “Svetozar Markovic”, Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 71, Belgrade, Serbia. [email protected] Abstract: More than 400 scientific journals are published in Serbia, and 357 are referred to in the Serbian Citation Index - national citation index. The visibility of Serbian scientific journals in the citation database Web of Science has risen significantly in the last decade. Results of this analysis show the presence of Serbian journals in Web of Science, JCR, Scopus and Serbian Citation Index (SCIndeks) during four years (2007 to 2010). The paper discusses different bibliometric parameters in Web of Science, JCR and the Scopus portal SCImago (citations, average citations/year, impact factor, Hirsch index) for Serbian journals. Bibliometric indicators that appear in the National Citation Index are also analyzed. The number of Serbian journals with impact factor has increased during the observed period. The impact of Serbian publishers rose remarkably in 2010, and Serbia has two highly ranked journals. Keywords: Scientific journals, citation analysis, Web of Science, Scopus, national citation index, Serbia Introduction Journals are the main medium in scientific communication. Parameters that characterize those journals can be used for analyzing the scientific disciplines, both in separate regions and globally. It is also possible to follow the development of the scientific community itself, since the appearance of journals show that the scientific community in a particular country has reached the level at which communication through journals is needed. -
Editorialising” Open Access Scientific Journals
Critical study of the new ways of “editorialising” open access scientific journals Synthesised report of the study piloted by BSN 4 and BSN 7 Produced by Pierre-Carl Langlais (June 2016) Steering committee: Serge Bauin, Emmanuelle Corne, Jacques Lafait, Pierre Mounier Introduction As this report goes to press, France has just adopted an open access law. Article 30 of the “Law for a Digital Republic” provides that the authors of scientific texts whose work is at least 50% publicly funded may “make [it] freely available in an open format, through digital means” after a period of restricted access (known as an “embargo” period) lasting no longer than six months in the technical and medical sciences, and twelve months in the humanities and social sciences. In September 2016, this measure was definitively approved by the National Assembly and the Senate. It aims to remove one of the main restrictions limiting the dissemination of scientific publications on digital networks: the need to obtain the publisher‟s authorisation. The exclusivity clauses typically included in publishing contracts potentially prevent authors from re-disseminating their scientific contributions (for example, in an institutional repository) or else apply varying restrictions.1 These complex arrangements do not facilitate the implementation of a coherent open access policy, neither for authors (who must adopt a radically distinct republication strategy, depending on the publisher) nor for readers. The embedding of open access in the law creates a minimum harmonised framework capable of simplifying the conditions attached to accessing publicly funded research. The French law builds on a European, indeed global, movement. -
