Expeditious publication is an important factor when considering publishing ophthalmic research. We investigated the factors associated with shorter publication times in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus (POS). We analyzed 2487 POS articles ...

This study presents the result of a cross-disciplinary and diachronic examination of cohesive devices used in high citation research article (HCRA) titles, a hitherto less-explored subgenre of academic discourse. Based on Halliday and Matthiessen’...

‘The wisdom of crowds’ theory has received widespread attention and application. For scholars, the wisdom of crowds is of great significance in revealing the operating mechanism of the scientific community. However, scholar crowds are jointly ...

Based on a large-scale computational analysis of scholarly articles, this study investigates the dynamics of interdisciplinary research in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thereby, the study also analyses the reorientation effects away ...

Tracing the utilization of science in technological innovations, especially the fraction with regard to public research, is of major importance in science policy. We explore the evolution of the global and domestic technological impact of Chinese ...

This study explores the historical trajectory of Cuban international scientific collaboration across three distinct epochs (1900–1959, 1960–1989, and 1990–2023). Utilizing co-authorship as a metric for collaboration and examining publications ...

This paper investigates the growing evidence of research-related misconduct by developing and testing a theoretical framework. We study the deep causes of misconduct by asking whether the perception of an erosion of the core academic values, ...

In this study, the scientific production of universities across the world is analysed, disaggregating it by research fields and specialities. A particular focus is on the strategic analysis of Spanish universities within the international ...

Taxonomy alignment is essential for integrating knowledge across diverse domains and languages, facilitating information retrieval and data integration. Traditional methods heavily reliant on domain experts are time-consuming and resource-...

In science and beyond, quantifications are omnipresent when it comes to justifying judgments. Which scientific author, hiring committee-member, or advisory board panelist has not been confronted with page-long publication manuals, assessment ...

The principal goal of this study is to analyze the evolution of topics and trends in emerging research fields by a combination of entity linking, Mann–Kendall test, and burst detection techniques. Multiple methods are applied here in the emerging ...

Knowledge has become a crucial and foundational resource for the development of the digital economy. Employing a fixed-effects panel model and drawing upon panel data from 279 Chinese cities from 2014 to 2019, this study empirically investigates ...

Research on innovative content within academic articles plays a vital role in exploring the frontiers of scientific and technological innovation while facilitating the integration of scientific and technological evaluation into academic discourse. ...

This study investigates the interplay between collaboration (coauthorship) citation, bibliographic coupling (citation of a third scholar by two other authors), and co-ethnicity among International Communication Association (ICA) Fellows, ...

Enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of national research systems is a top priority on the policy agendas of many countries. This study focuses on one aspect of the macroeconomic efficiency of research systems: whether research institutions ...

The role of scientific knowledge in advancing technology is widely recognized, but its impact in generating disruptive ideas and catalyzing technological change is less well known. To fill this gap, this study addresses a new research question ...

With tremendous growth in the volume of published scholarly work, it becomes quite difficult for researchers to find appropriate documents relevant to their research topic. Many research paper recommendation approaches have been proposed and ...

The increasing significance of interdisciplinary research poses a challenge in evaluating its quality and emphasizes the need for academic journals to choose appropriate reviewers for interdisciplinary research. Several studies have focused on the ...

This study employs the synthetic control method to assess the effects of Romania’s 2016 research reforms on the nation’s research output. Prior reforms were unstable and led to persistent deviations from international publication practices, where ...

Decades after the fall of the Iron Curtain, medical research in Russia remains poorly integrated into global science. In this study, we analyze the evolution of Russian medical research presence in international journals in recent years and ...

We introduce and define three types of small worlds: small worlds based on the diameter of the network (SWD), those based on the average geodesic distance between nodes (SWA), and those based on the median geodesic distance (SWMd). These types of ...

We examine the evolution of order of authorship based on seniority during 1975–2021. Results show that for small teams (≤ 5 authors), the likelihood of placing the most junior author first has been increasing since the nineties. Additionally, the ...

Scientific cooperation is gaining importance as worldwide trends in co-authorship indicate. While clustering is an established method in this field and several have studied scientific-cooperation dynamics within a single discipline, little ...

This work studies “Contributed” articles in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), a streamlined submission track for members of the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS). We assess the ...

This paper proposes an open-science-aligned approach that uses library metadata to evaluate individual books. I analyse the suitability of this approach for individual book assessment and visibility of national books in the library catalogues, to ...

Universities are now expected to actively contribute to socio-economic development, extending beyond their customary focus on teaching and research. Traditionally, the impact of universities on the labor market, measured through graduate ...

Standard citation-based bibliometric tools have severe limitations when they are applied to periods in the history of science and the humanities before the advent of now-current citation practices. This paper presents an alternative method ...

The rise of globalization and the advent of Internet gave birth to a new science model in which national systems compete for a place in a global communication network where their products could circulate and gain notoriety. Several studies have ...

Extreme publishing behavior may reflect a combination of some authors with genuinely high publication output and of other people who have their names listed too frequently in publications because of consortium agreements, gift authorship or other ...

Systematic reviews and other types of literature reviews are more prevalent in clinical medicine than in other fields. The recurring need for improvement and updates in these disciplines has led to the Living Systematic Review (LSR) concept to ...
