This paper discusses problems of visualizing humanities data of various forms, such as video data, archival data, and numeric-oriented social science data, with three distinct case studies. By describing the visualization practices and the…
The paper examines extent of bias in the performance rankings of research organisations when the assessments are based on unsupervised author-name disambiguation algorithms. It compares the outcomes of a research performance evaluation…
Constructing a comprehensive, accurate, and useful scientific knowledge base is crucial for human researchers synthesizing scientific knowledge and for enabling Al-driven scientific discovery. However, the current process is difficult,…
In this modern technological era, categorization and ranking of research journals is gaining popularity among researchers and scientists. It plays a significant role for publication of their research findings in a quality journal. Although,…
Colonial archives are at the center of increased interest from a variety of perspectives, as they contain traces of historically marginalized people. Unfortunately, like most archives, they remain difficult to access due to significant…
When semantically describing knowledge graphs (KGs), users have to make a critical choice of a vocabulary (i.e. predicates and resources). The success of KG building is determined by the convergence of shared vocabularies so that meaning…
Preprints, versions of scientific manuscripts that precede peer review, are growing in popularity. They offer an opportunity to democratize and accelerate research, as they have no publication costs or a lengthy peer review process.…
This user's guide explains Section 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act, a set of rights for libraries and archives, in the context of software collections. It also addresses the interaction between Section 108 and fair use (Section 107) in this…
This is a survey of digital library initiative of North East India. The recent initiative by the government of India towards the digitization is reflected in various digitation programs. The secondary sources of data are used to map the 16…
The author-affiliation links are the essential elements used for multiple purposes, such as the disambiguation of authors, the attribution of credits of a publication and fractional counting, the analysis of scientific networks, etc. In…
We describe the CZ Software Mentions dataset, a new dataset of software mentions in biomedical papers. Plain-text software mentions are extracted with a trained SciBERT model from several sources: the NIH PubMed Central collection and from…
We study how publicity, in the form of highlighting in the science press, affects the citations of research papers. After a brief review of prior work, we analyze papers published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) that are highlighted across…
LitCovid (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/coronavirus/), first launched in February 2020, is a first-of-its-kind literature hub for tracking up-to-date published research on COVID-19. The number of articles in LitCovid has increased…
Understanding the origin and influence of the publication's idea is critical to conducting scientific research. However, the proliferation of scientific publications makes it difficult for researchers to sort out the evolution of all…
Web archives have grown to petabytes. In addition to providing invaluable background knowledge on many social and cultural developments over the last 30 years, they also provide vast amounts of training data for machine learning. To benefit…
This paper presents the results of a systematic review of the literature on the impact of social media in learning and teaching through bibliometric based Citation analysis. The objective of the review was to map the evolution of the…
The OpenCitations organization is working on ingesting citation data and bibliographic metadata directly provided by the community (e.g., scholars and publishers). The aim is to improve the general coverage of open citations, which is still…
We implement the PaperRank and AuthorRank indices introduced in [Amodio & Brugnano, 2014] in the Scopus database, in order to highlight quantitative and qualitative information that the bare number of citations and/or the h-index of an…
Digital information needs to be accessed and used in a manageable and sustainable manner to facilitate the advancement of science and science management. Many types of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) are already in use and well-established in…
In the last few years, several initiatives have been starting to offer access to research outputs data and metadata in an open fashion. The platforms developed by those initiatives are opening up scientific production to the wider public…
