The most frequently used indicators for the productivity and impact of scientists are total number publication ($N_{pub}$), citations ($N_{cit}$) Hirsch (h) index. Since seminal paper Hirsch, in 2005, it is largely debated whether h index can be considered as an indicator independent $N_{pub}$ $N_{cit}$. Exploiting Paretian form distribution papers authored by a researcher, here we discuss scal...

This paper analyzes the patterns of health biotechnology publications in six Latin American countries from 2001 to 2015. The countries studied were Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba and Mexico. Before our study, there were no data available on HBT development in half of the Latin-American countries we studied, i.e., Argentina, Colombia and Chile. To include these countries in a scientome...

Advances in the publishing world have emerged new models of digital library development. Open access schemes are expanding their presence and realize the idea of digital library in various means. While user-centered evaluation of digital libraries has drawn considerable attention during the last years, these systems are currently view from the publishing, economic and scientometric perspectives...

We investigate an integrated approach to scientometric studies with emphasis to the use of information visualization and animation techniques. This study draws upon citation and co-citation patterns derived from articles published in the journal Scientometrics (19812001). The modeling and visualization takes an evolutionary and historical perspective. The design of the visualization model adapt...

In a critical and provocative paper, Abramo and D’Angelo claim that commonly used scientometric indicators such as the mean normalized citation score (MNCS) are completely inappropriate as indicators of scientific performance. Abramo and D’Angelo argue that scientific performance should be quantified using indicators that take into account the productivity of a research unit. We provide a respo...
