Recent studies of management fashions have used discourse data that contributed to our understanding of the forces underlying the rise and fall in popularity of new management techniques. Like management fashions, there are many IT (information technology) fashions. Testing the extent to which the theory of management fashions apply to IT fashions help us better understand not only IT fashions ...

Every year, a considerable amount of money is being invested on research, mainly in the form of funding allocated to universities and research institutes. To better distribute the available funds and to set the most proper R&D investment strategies for the future, evaluation of the productivity of the funded researchers and the impact of such funding is crucial. In this paper, using the data on...

Bibliometric indicators are increasingly used at the individual level—as is exemplified by the popularity of the H-index. However, quite some research shows that these indicators hardly predict career decisions and decisions about grant applications. This suggests that in practice the indicators based on productivity (publications) and impact (citations) are hardly managerial and policy relevan...

In this paper, we present an assessment of the ResearchGate score as a measure of a researcher’s scientific reputation. This assessment is based on well-established bibliometric guidelines for research metrics. In our evaluation, we find that the ResearchGate Score has three serious shortcomings: (1) the score is intransparent and irreproducible, (2) the score incorporates the journal impact fa...

Scientific research needs lots of literature searches that cost a large amount of time and energy. Bibliometric techniques could help us find research hotspots and grasp the research direction yet can’t reveal huge hidden information in massive literature since the existing bibliometric analysis techniques employ mainly simple statistical analysis techniques. Hence, we propose to introduce data...
