The goal of this study is to stimulate a broader and deeper application of scientometric theory in information systems (IS) research, specifically to emphasize the benefits of scientometrics in the conceptual development of the IS field. The study reviews the underlying theories of scientometrics, specifically how they combine both quantitative and qualitative approaches towards research evalua...

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to conduct a meta-analysis of prior scientometric research of the knowledge management (KM) field. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 108 scientometric studies of the KM discipline were subjected to meta-analysis techniques. Findings – The overall volume of scientometric KM works has been growing, reaching up to ten publications per year by 2012, but...

The article provides a brief overview of the most popular information systems of evaluation of scientific activity of scientists. The vision of functional capabilities of processing of the system scientometric indicators of the scientific team, the organization and its business units on the basis of scientific profiles of existing scientometric and bibliometric systems are described. The exampl...

INTRODUCTION Awareness of the latest scientific research and publishing articles in top journals is one of the major concerns of health researchers. In this study, we first introduced top journals of obstetrics and gynecology field based on their Impact Factor (IF), Eigenfactor Score (ES) and SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) indicator indexed in Scopus databases and then the scientometric features of...

Academic rewards and honors are proven to correlate with h-index, although it was not the decision criterion for them till recent years. Once h-index becomes the rule-setting scientometric ranking measure in the zero-sum game for academic positions and research resources as suggested by its advocates, the rational behavior of competing academics is expected to converge towards its gametheoretic...

There is mounting interest among scientists regarding the use of scientometric social network analysis, or quantitative analysis of the evolution of science as defined by individual researchers and the networks they form. Given that geographers have seldom used this approach compared to researchers in other fields, its implications for research and policy need to be assessed. We applied sciento...

BACKGROUND Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis disease with oral and genital aphthous ulceration, uveitis, skin manifestations, arthritis and neurological involvement. Many investigators have published articles on BD in the last two decades since introduction of diagnosis criteria by the International Study Group for Behçet's Disease in 1990. However, there is no scientometric analys...

In tandem with the rapid globalisation of science, spatial scientometrics has become an important research sub-field in scientometric studies. Recently, numerous spatial scientometric contributions have focused on the examination of cities’ scientific output by using various scientometric indicators. In this paper, I analyse cities’ scientific output worldwide in terms of the number of journal ...

This study examines one dimension of the evolution of the information systems (IS) field through a scientometric study of three major global, regional and national conferences: ICIS, PACIS and ASAC. The findings suggest that IS has matured and diversified over the years, since the number of publications and the average number of collaborators per publication have been growing. Using well-establ...

This paper presents a scientometric study about information management. Both the Science Citation Index and the Social Science Citation Index were used to analyse the literature about information management by various criteria like journal subject category, origins of the authors, publication languages, chronological distribution. Furthermore, a citation analysis was conducted. On the basis of ...
