background: the bibliometric methods have been used in many disciplines of sciences to study the scientific production and research trends. in this study, they were used to investigate research trends related to the risk assessment of cryptosporid­ium pathogen in water field. methods : data were obtained on the scopus database from 1993 to 2013. re­search tendency was investigated by analyzing ...

This paper shows how bibliometric assessment can be implemented at individual level. This has been successfully done at the University of Vienna carried out by the Bibliometrics and Publication Strategies Department of the Vienna University Library. According to the department's philosophy, bibliometrics is not only a helpful evaluation instrument in order to complement the peer review system. ...

This paper analyzes several well-known bibliometric indices using an axiomatic approach. We concentrate on indices aiming at capturing the global impact of a scientific output and do not investigate indices aiming at capturing an average impact. Hence, the indices that we study are designed to evaluate authors or groups of authors but not journals. The bibliometric indices that are studied incl...

F. W. Lancaster, as the most cited author during the 1970s to early 1990s, has broad intellectual influence in many fields of research in library and information science. This bibliometric study collected citation data for Lancaster’s publications from 1972 to 2006 and analyzed the data in terms of the time and space and disciplinary breadth of his intellectual influence. The result shows that ...

Bibliometric maps are scaled representations of clusters of papers and provide an overview of a scientific field as provided by those papers and the references between them. We have enhanced our interactive bibliometric explorer (iBEX) to visualise the distribution of phrases over such bibliometric maps. Assuming that generic (non-content-bearing) phrases occur in most of the papers in the map,...

The paper introduces simple bibliometric-enhanced search facilities which are derived from the famous stratagems by Bates. Moves, tactics and stratagems are revisited from a Digital Library perspective. The potential of extended versions of ”journal run” or ”citation search” for interactive information retrieval is outlined. The authors elaborate on the future implementation and evaluation of n...

Introduction Bibliometrics, and scientometrics in general, have been enjoying what seems to be an endless party. Far from stopping, the demand for bibliometric indicators from governmental bodies, administrators and researchers, is continuously growing. During this “give me the indicators” phase several solutions have been provided by the community, let say new and more sophisticated indicators...

Structured abstract Purpose: To carry out a bibliometric analysis of the development of Chinese research in superconductivity since the advent of high-temperature superconductivity (HTS) in the mid-Eighties, and to compare Chinese research with that of its international competitors. the Web of Science database. Findings: Chinese HTS research has grown steadily in importance over the period with...

introduction: citation analysis reflects the extent to which published work has been recognized in the scientific community. the purpose of this study was to characterize the most cited publications in travel medicine.methods: travel medicine articles indexed on scopus which had been published in the english language through 2016 were retrieved independently by two researchers using various sea...

introduction: nowadays, science mapping is considered an excellent technique for decision-makers to find solutions for problems in research planning and development. in this work, we aimed to depict a science map of “radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging” in iran. methods: all publications indexed in thomson reuters web of science database in the fields mentioned above with at least ...
