Gender disparity in funding rates in double-blind grant peer review
The Villum Experiment (VEX) is one of the few funding schemes that employs a double-blind review process where applicants are blinded to reviewers, applications are highly standardized, reviewers do not deliberate, and funding is determined solely by ranked aggregated review scores. This unique controlled setting enables assumptions that direct reviewer gender bias is highly unlikely. Using a causal framework (DAG), we examine the extent to which…
Examining the geographic and linguistic coverage of gold and diamond open access journals in OpenAlex, Scopus, and Web of Science
Diamond open access (OA) journals are a publishing model that is free for both authors and readers, but their lack of indexing in major bibliographic databases compared to gold journals presents challenges in assessing their uptake. Furthermore, the characteristics of diamond journals, such as language and country of publication, have often been used to support the argument that they are more diverse and serve national research communities. Howev…
Do you cite what you tweet? Investigating the relationship between tweeting and citing research articles
The last decade of altmetrics research has demonstrated that altmetrics have a low to moderate correlation with citations, depending on the platform and the discipline, among other factors. Most past studies used academic works as their unit of analysis to determine whether the attention they received on Twitter was a good predictor of academic engagement. Our work revisits the relationship between tweets and citations where the tweet itself is t…
Citation Elites in Polytheistic and Umbrella Disciplines
The notion of science as a stratified system is clearly manifested in the markedly uneven distribution of productivity, rewards, resources, and recognition. Although previous studies have shown that institutional environments for conducting research differ significantly between national science systems, disciplines, and subfields, it remains to be shown whether any systematic variations and patterns in inequalities exist among researchers in diff…
Measuring engagement with shark research in science, news and social media, and policy
An open data set of scholars on Twitter
The role played by research scholars in the dissemination of scientific knowledge on social media has always been a central topic in social media metrics (altmetrics) research. Different approaches have been implemented to identify and characterize active scholars on social media platforms like Twitter. Some limitations of past approaches were their complexity and, most importantly, their reliance on licensed scientometric and altmetric data. The…
The oligopoly’s shift to open access
We aim to estimate the total amount of article processing charges (APCs) paid to publish open access (OA) in journals controlled by the five large commercial publishers (Elsevier, Sage, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, and Wiley) between 2015 and 2018. Using publication data from WoS, OA status from Unpaywall, and annual APC prices from open data sets and historical fees retrieved via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, we estimate that globa…
Large-scale identification and characterization of scholars on Twitter
This paper presents a new method for identifying scholars who have a Twitter account from bibliometric data from Web of Science (WoS) and Twitter data from Altmetric.com. The method reliably identifies matches between Twitter accounts and scholarly authors. It consists of a matching of elements such as author names, usernames, handles, and URLs, followed by a rule-based scoring system that weights the common occurrence of these elements related t…
On the topicality and research impact of special issues
The publication of special issues constitute an important yet underinvestigated phenomenon of scholarly communication. In an attempt to draw attention to the proliferation of special issues, Priem (2006) suggested that their commissioning has an underestimated opportunity cost, given the relative scarcity of publication space: by distorting the “marketplace for ideas” through the commanding of preselected topical distributions, special issues und…
Who are the acknowledgees? An analysis of gender and academic status
On the institutional and intellectual division of labor in epigenetics research
While numerous qualitative social scientific analyses of (environmental) epigenetics have been published, we still lack a macro-level, quantitative assessment of the field of epigenetics as a whole. This article is aimed at filling this gap. Mobilizing an extended version of the Web of Science, we constituted a corpus of 199,484 documents (articles, reviews, editorial material, etc.) published between 1991 and 2017 and performed several scientome…
Reciprocity in Book Reviewing among American, British and Canadian Academics
Books and their reviews have been historically central to knowledge dissemination in the social sciences and humanities. Despite this perceive importance, few studies have assessed the relative importance of these document types in the dissemination of knowledge. This paper aims at better understanding the place of book reviews in the scholarly communication system and to shed light--through the analysis of books on Canada, United Kingdom and Uni…
Le comportement électoral des Québécoises
Si quelques analyses ont porté sur le vote féminin dans la période plus récente, la période qui va de 1950 à 1976 reste encore en grande partie inexplorée et, par conséquent, on ne connaît pas grand-chose sur le vote des femmes francophones au provincial dans le Québec de l’après-guerre et de la Révolution tranquille. La présente note de recherche offre des pistes d’analyse du vote féminin québécois dans les années 1950 et 1960. En premier lieu, …
Les influences disciplinaires de la criminologie (1991-2014)
Au cours de son histoire, la criminologie a été influencée par de nombreuses disciplines. Elle est d’abord marquée, au début duxxesiècle, par la sociologie positiviste aux États-Unis et par la psychiatrie en Grande-Bretagne, avant d’être fortement influencée par des courants critiques issus de la sociologie. Puis, à partir des années 1990, elle s’ouvre à nouveau aux perspectives de différentes disciplines. Basée sur les références citées par un e…
Authorship, citations, acknowledgments and visibility in social media
The reward system of science is undergoing significant changes, as traditional indicators compete with initiatives that offer novel means of disseminating and assessing scholarly impact. The article posits that, while scientific capital remains the foundation upon which the reward system of science is built, this system is revealing itself to be more and more multifaceted, extremely complex, and facing increasing tension between its traditional m…
Contributorship and division of labor in knowledge production
Scientific authorship has been increasingly complemented with contributorship statements. While such statements are said to ensure more equitable credit and responsibility attribution, they also provide an opportunity to examine the roles and functions that authors play in the construction of knowledge and the relationship between these roles and authorship order. Drawing on a comprehensive and multidisciplinary dataset of 87,002 documents in whi…
The Oligopoly of Academic Publishers in the Digital Era
The consolidation of the scientific publishing industry has been the topic of much debate within and outside the scientific community, especially in relation to major publishers' high profit margins. However, the share of scientific output published in the journals of these major publishers, as well as its evolution over time and across various disciplines, has not yet been analyzed. This paper provides such analysis, based on 45 million document…
