This paper investigates the performance of several representative large models in the field of literature recommendation and explores potential biases. The results indicate that while some large models' recommendations can be somewhat…
Scientific datasets play a crucial role in contemporary data-driven research, as they allow for the progress of science by facilitating the discovery of new patterns and phenomena. This mounting demand for empirical research raises…
Transformative agreements between academic publishers and research institutions are ubiquitous. The 'Efficiency and Standards for Article Charges' (ESAC) Initiative lists more than 1,000 contracts in its database. We make use of this unique…
This article presents the OpenCitations Index, a collection of open citation data maintained by OpenCitations, an independent, not-for-profit infrastructure organisation for open scholarship dedicated to publishing open bibliographic and…
The importance of research teams' diversity for the progress of science is highlighted extensively. Despite the seemingly hegemonic role of hypothesis testing in modern quantitative research, little attention has been devoted to the…
Examining effectiveness of institutional scientific coalitions can inform future policies. This is a study on the structure of scientific collaborations in three cities in central Germany. Since 1995, the three universities of this region…
This paper analyses the set of scientific publications in open access, other than journals (monographs, conferences proceedings, teaching materials and grey literature), published by Spanish public universities, studying their volume,…
Research surveys have always posed a challenge for beginner researchers who lack of research training. These researchers struggle to understand the directions within their research topic, and the discovery of new research findings within a…
The exponential growth of scientific publications in recent years has posed a significant challenge in effective and efficient categorization. This paper introduces a novel approach that combines instance-based learning and ensemble…
Research resources (RRs) such as data, software, and tools are essential pillars of scientific research. The field of biomedicine, a critical scientific discipline, is witnessing a surge in research publications resulting in the…
Clarivate's Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier's Scopus have been for decades the main sources of bibliometric information. Although highly curated, these closed, proprietary databases are largely biased towards English-language…
The OpenAIRE Graph is an extensive resource housing diverse information on research products, including literature, datasets, and software, alongside research projects and other scholarly outputs and context. It stands as a cornerstone…
The use of Wikipedia citations in scholarly research has been the topic of much inquiry over the past decade. A cross-publisher study (Taylor & Francis and University of Michigan Press) convened by Digital Science was established in late…
This paper reports on a scientometric analysis bolstered by human in the loop, domain experts, to examine the field of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) research. Scientometric analyses reveal the intellectual landscape of a field. The study…
Between 1960 and 1980, urban renewal transformed many cities, creating vast handwritten records. These documents posed a significant challenge for researchers due to their volume and handwritten nature. The launch of GPT-4V in November 2023…
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the use of preprints, aiding rapid research dissemination but also facilitating the spread of misinformation. This study analyzes media coverage of preprints from 2014 to 2023, revealing a significant…
The increasing amount of published scholarly articles, exceeding 2.5 million yearly, raises the challenge for researchers in following scientific progress. Integrating the contributions from scholarly articles into a novel type of cognitive…
Recording the provenance of scientific computation results is key to the support of traceability, reproducibility and quality assessment of data products. Several data models have been explored to address this need, providing…
The modern technological landscape has trended towards increased precision and greater digitization of information. However, the methods used to record and communicate scientific procedures have remained largely unchanged over the last…
Unlike traditional citation analysis -- which assumes that all citations in a paper are equivalent -- citation context analysis considers the contextual information of individual citations. However, citation context analysis requires…
