Mentorship is a critical component of academia, but is not as visible as publications, citations, grants, and awards. Despite the importance of studying the quality and impact of mentorship, there are few large representative mentorship…
Linked Data (LD) as a web--based technology enables in principle the seamless, machine--supported integration, interplay and augmentation of all kinds of knowledge, into what has been labeled a huge knowledge graph. Despite decades of web…
This book is not restricted to semantic web (SW) technologies. An aspiration was to contribute to the awakening of a dialogue between information and documentation concerned with knowledge organization systems (KOSs), and branches in…
It is a matter of debate whether a shrinking proportion of scholarly literature is getting most of the references over time. It is also less well understood how a narrowing literature usage would affect the circulation of ideas in the…
In course of the organization of Workshop III entitled "Cited References Analysis Using CRExplorer" at the International Conference of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI2021), we have prepared three…
In multiple academic disciplines, having a perceived gender of `woman' is associated with a lower than expected rate of citations. In some fields, that disparity is driven primarily by the citations of men and is increasing over time…
Modern cloud-based data infrastructures open new vistas for the deployment of scientometric data into the hands of practitioners. These infrastructures lower barriers to entry by making data more available and compute capacity more…
Steadily growing amounts of information, such as annually published scientific papers, have become so large that they elude an extensive manual analysis. Hence, to maintain an overview, automated methods for the mapping and visualization of…
Diversity in human capital is widely seen as critical to creating holistic and high quality research, especially in areas that engage with diverse cultures, environments, and challenges. Quantifying diverse academic collaborations and its…
There is a complex correlation among the data of scientific papers. The phenomenon reveals the data characteristics, laws, and correlations contained in the data of scientific and technological papers in specific fields, which can realize…
We collected and cleaned a large data set on publications in statistics. The data set consists of the coauthor relationships and citation relationships of 83, 331 papers published in 36 representative journals in statistics, probability,…
Here I present an investigation on the evolution and use of vocabulary in data science in the last 13 years. Based on a rigorous statistical analysis, a database with 12,787 documents containing the words "data science" in the title,…
The rapid evolution of scientific research has been creating a huge volume of publications every year. Among the many quantification measures of scientific impact, citation count stands out for its frequent use in the research community.…
In recent years, with the increase of social investment in scientific research, the number of research results in various fields has increased significantly. Cross-disciplinary research results have gradually become an emerging frontier…
Microcosm, Hyper-G, and the Web were developed and released after 1989. There were strengths and weaknesses associate with each of these hypertext systems. The architectures of these systems were relatively different from one another.…
The purpose of this systematic review is to identify and describe the state of development literature published in Latin America, in Spanish and English, since 2010. For this, we carried out a topographic review of 44 articles available in…
To analyze the impact that arXiv is having on the world, in this paper we propose an arXiv information distribution model on Twitter, which has a three-layer structure: arXiv papers, information spreaders, and information collectors. First,…
In the era of big data, intellectual property-oriented scientific and technological resources show the trend of large data scale, high information density and low value density, which brings severe challenges to the effective use of…
Data management, which encompasses activities and strategies related to the storage, organization, and description of data and other research materials, helps ensure the usability of datasets -- both for the original research team and for…
Faculty at prestigious institutions dominate scientific discourse, with the small proportion of researchers at elite universities producing a disproportionate share of all research publications. Environmental prestige is known to drive such…
