The study, based on the Web of Science, analyses 758 articles published from 2000 to 2014. Our analysis includes the publications' output, authorship, institutional and country patterns of production, citations and collaboration. A Social…
Researchers and students face an explosion of newly published papers which may be relevant to their work. This led to a trend of sharing human summaries of scientific papers. We analyze the summaries shared in one of these platforms…
This literature review identifies indicators that associate with higher impact or higher quality research from article text (e.g., titles, abstracts, lengths, cited references and readability) or metadata (e.g., the number of authors,…
From more than half a century ago indexing scientific articles has been studied intensively to provide a more efficient data retrieval and to conserve researchers invaluable time. In the last two decades with the emergence of the World Wide…
If you only take one thing away from this document I would like it tobe this: Creating accessible documents requires authors have a working understanding of accessibility, and write with accessibility in mind.
Authorship of scientific articles has profoundly changed from early science until now. If once upon a time a paper was authored by a handful of authors, scientific collaborations are much more prominent on average nowadays. As authorship…
This article proposes to describe and compare the contributions of various techniques of evaluation of the accessibility of E-services carried out starting from (i) methods of inspection (on the basis of traditional ergonomic criteria and…
This survey paper discusses different forms of malicious techniques that can affect how an information retrieval model retrieves documents for a query and their remedies.
Internet is one of the main sources of information for millions of people. One can find information related to practically all matters on internet. Moreover if we want to retrieve information about some particular topic we may find…
Reproducibility is an important feature of science; experiments are retested, and analyses are repeated. Trust in the findings increases when consistent results are achieved. Despite the importance of reproducibility, significant work is…
