The use of bibliometrics (e.g. citation index and impact factors) in measuring academic research performances can affect the publication strategy of researchers. Such effects may be particularly potent to young researchers who are at a transitional stage of their academic career. This paper explores how bibliometrics affect the publication strategy from a point of view of a post-doctoral fellow...

Seven myths with cognitive and methodological background are analysed for validity. Although, there is always a grain of truth in bibliometrics myths too, the generality of their statements is disproved on the bases of methodological studies and by referring to typical counterexamples. It is shown how and where the logical fallacy lies in the inference from the reality behind the myths leading ...

In recent years there is a small but increasing number of articles presenting and/or analyzing the scientific production from discrete geographical regions on a certain scientific topic. These articles applied the so-called bibliometric methods in order to evaluate the contribution of different countries in a scientific research field. In the present work, the research output of all countries i...

background: due to embargoes and sanctions from 1979 until 2015, impact on scientific research in iran may be critical. public health is the main example of this burning point. in this paper, the aim was to map the scientific research in public health in iran until 2014 with area studies as well as networks of countries involved. methods: we used bibliographic analyses using vos viewer software...

Is more always better? We address this question in the context of bibliometric indices that aim to assess the scientific impact of individual researchers by counting their number of highly cited publications. We propose a simple model in which the number of citations of a publication depends not only on the scientific impact of the publication but also on other ‘random’ factors. Our model indic...

Although the research and application of a geographic information system (GIS) in bibliometrics remains in its initial stage, several valuable attempts have been made in recent years. This paper provides our overview regarding this area. We first reviewed the spatial information mining derived from literature, including structured and unstructured data. The spatial display and the basic spatial...

The expansion and multiplication of information sources their heterogeneity on the Web are one main difficulties encountered by users today. As a result, integration is essential. It enables data from several to be brought together consolidated. A concrete case this diversity concerns use bibliometrics analyze literature indexed in bibliographic databases. Indeed, huge amounts generated every d...

In order to assess the progress of Open Science in France, French Ministry Higher Education, Research and Innovation published Monitor 2019. Even if this tool has a bias, for only publications with DOI can be considered, thus promoting article-dominant research communities, its indicators are trustworthy reliable. The University Lorraine was very first institution reuse National create new vers...
