This study investigates how scientific research influences policymaking by analyzing citations of research articles in policy documents (policy impact) for nearly 125,000 articles across 434 public policy journals. We reveal distinct…
Measuring the impact of a publication in a fair way is a significant challenge in bibliometrics, as it must not introduce biases between fields and should enable comparison of the impact of publications from different years. In this paper,…
In Summer 2023, staff from the information technology and reference departments at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press came together in a unique partnership to pilot a low-cost AI-powered chatbot. The goal of the pilot is…
Growth in computational materials science and initiatives such as the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and the European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC) has motivated the development and application of ontologies. A key factor has been…
This study aims to investigate the influence of cross-border recruitment program in China, which confers scientists with a 'talent hat' including a startup package comprising significant bonuses, pay, and funding, on their future…
The escalating volume of academic literature presents a formidable challenge in staying updated with the newest research developments. Addressing this, this study introduces a pioneering AI-based tool, configured specifically to streamline…
This paper analyses the practice of publishing research data within the Max Planck Society in the year 2020. The central finding of the study is that up to 40\% of the empirical text publications had research data available. The aggregation…
With the growth of open access (OA), the financial flows in scholarly journal publishing have become increasingly complex, but comprehensive data and transparency into these flows are still lacking. The opaqueness is especially concerning…
Tracing the source of research papers is a fundamental yet challenging task for researchers. The billion-scale citation relations between papers hinder researchers from understanding the evolution of science efficiently. To date, there is…
Park et al. [1] reported a decline in the disruptiveness of scientific and technological knowledge over time. Their main finding is based on the computation of CD indices, a measure of disruption in citation networks [2], across almost 45…
In the process of transforming science cases into a viable and affordable design for a novel instrument, there is the problem of how to gauge their scientific impact, especially when they end up in competing top level requirements that can…
This short paper presents a compact overview of the Czech approach to implementing the European Open Science Cloud and plans for developing a Czech national infrastructure for FAIR research data. Its purpose is to provide an…
In this paper, we present a bibliometric analysis of the Mendeleev Periodic Table. We have conducted a comprehensive analysis of the Scopus-based database using the keyword "Mendeleev Periodic Table". Our findings suggest that the Mendeleev…
In this work a Large Language Model (LLM) based workflow is presented that utilizes OpenAI ChatGPT model GPT-3.5-turbo-1106 and Google Gemini Pro model to create summary of text, data and images from research articles. It is demonstrated…
The expansion of Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) over the recent years has partially accounted for the "norm" of growth of research output in many bibliometric analysis studies. However, the expansion patterns of different citation…
This study analyzes the unprecedented growth of international research collaboration (IRC) in Europe during the period 2009-2018 in terms of coauthorship and citation distribution of globally indexed publications. The results reveal the…
Little is known whether peer reviewers use the same evaluation criteria and how they integrate the criteria into their overall judgment. This study therefore proposed two assessment styles based on theoretical perspectives and normative…
This article challenges the assumption that journals and peer review are essential for developing,evaluating and disseminating scientific and other academic knowledge. It suggests a more flexible ecosystem, and examines some of the…
In October 2023, arXiv made HTML formatted papers available to readers. This was the exciting outcome of over a year of accessibility research and development with the scientific community. Currently, only 2.4% of research outputs meet…
We formally define the literature (reference) snowballing method and present a refined version of it. We show that the improved algorithm can substantially reduce curator work, even before application of text classification, by reducing the…
