“My Wife Says…”: Epistemic Injustice in the Rationale of Parenting Responsibilities Among Academic Parents
The event of having a child for an academic is associated with lower research productivity for women, even when the parenting burden is shared by both male and female parents. Universities and research organizations commonly employ “family‐friendly” policies to simultaneously ease work expectations and provide flexibility in work patterns, performance, and participation. Recent trends of fathers taking more responsibility for parenting engagement…

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…
Incentivising, excluding, and enduring: Insular policy feedback in Lithuanian research assessment
Performance-based funding systems (PBFSs) are widely used to steer national research, but their effects vary significantly, particularly in countries with emerging research ecosystems. Relatively little attention has been paid to PBFSs and their concomitant policy dynamics in these countries, where the pressure to internationalise creates unique challenges. This paper presents a detailed study of the development of the Lithuanian PBFS from 2005 t…
Examining the Origins and Outcomes of Research-Related Emotions in Faculty: Developing the Research Emotions Questionnaire (REQ)
University faculty experience many emotions that have implications for their research success; however, previous studies on research-related emotions in faculty have consistently employed self-report measures with limited validity, reliability, and scope. The current study aimed to validate the Research Emotions Questionnaire (REQ) among STEM faculty, examine potential differences in emotions by demographic and job-related factors, and test a hyp…
A global perspective on social stratification in science
To study stratification among scientists, we reconstruct the career-long trajectories of 8.2 million scientists worldwide using 12 bibliometric measures of productivity, geographical mobility, collaboration, and research impact. While most previous studies examined these variables in isolation, we study their relationships using Multiple Correspondence and Cluster Analysis. We group authors according to their bibliometric performance and academic…
The oligopoly of open access publishing
Examining the quality of the corresponding authorship field in Web of Science and Scopus
Authorship is associated with scientific capital and prestige, and corresponding authorship is used in evaluation as a proxy for scientific status. However, there are no empirical analyses on the validity of the corresponding authorship metadata in bibliometric databases. This paper looks at differences in the corresponding authorship metadata in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus to investigate how the relationship between author position and corre…

Impact of geographic diversity on citation of collaborative research
Diversity in human capital is widely seen as critical to creating holistic and high-quality research, especially in areas that engage with diverse cultures, environments, and challenges. Quantification of diverse academic collaborations and their effect on research quality is lacking, especially at international scale and across different domains. Here, we present the first effort to measure the impact of geographic diversity in coauthorships on …
Intersectional inequalities in science
Significance The US scientific workforce is not representative of the population. Barriers to entry and participation have been well-studied; however, few have examined the effect of these disparities on the advancement of science. Furthermore, most studies have looked at either race or gender, failing to account for the intersection of these variables. Our analysis utilizes millions of scientific papers to study the relationship between scientis…
Interdisciplinarity and impact: The effects of the citation time window
Assessing the quality of bibliographic data sources for measuring international research collaboration
Measuring international research collaboration (IRC) is essential to various research assessment tasks but the effect of various measurement decisions, including which data sources to use, has not been thoroughly studied. To better understand the effect of data source choice on IRC measurement, we design and implement a data quality assessment framework specifically for bibliographic data by reviewing and selecting available dimensions and design…

Journals suspected to be predatory are identified using the well-known (and controversial) list of potentially predatory publishers and …
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…
On the institutional and intellectual division of labor in epigenetics research: A scientometric analysis
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…

Authorship, citations, acknowledgments and visibility in social media: Symbolic capital in the multifaceted reward system of science
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…
China’s Research Evaluation Reform: What are the Consequences for Global Science
In the 1990s, China created a research evaluation system based on publications indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and on the Journal Impact Factor. Such system helped the country become the largest contributor to the scientific literature and increased the position of Chinese universities in international rankings. Although the system had been criticized by many because of its adverse effects, the policy reform for research evaluation cr…
Le français, langue seconde ? De l'évolution des lieux et langues de publication des chercheurs au Québec, en France et en Allemagne
Depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la diffusion des connaissances dans les disciplines des sciences naturelles et médicales est dominée par l'anglais. Toutefois, dans les sciences sociales et humaines, on considère généralement les langues nationales comme étant beaucoup plus importantes, compte tenu de l'aspect plus localisé de leurs objets. Afin de mieux comprendre l'évolution de la place de l'anglais dans ces disciplines, cet article…
Cities and the geographical deconcentration of scientific activity: A multilevel analysis of publications (1987–2007)
Most current scientific policies incorporate debates on cities and the geographic organisation of scientific activity. Research on ‘world cities’ develops the idea that interconnected agglomerations can better take advantage of international competition. Thus, the increasing concentration of activities in these cities at the expense of others could be observed by certain scholars using measures based on scientific publications. Others, however, s…

Misconduct Policies, Academic Culture and Career Stage, Not Gender or Pressures to Publish, Affect Scientific Integrity
The honesty and integrity of scientists is widely believed to be threatened by pressures to publish, unsupportive research environments, and other structural, sociological and psychological factors. Belief in the importance of these factors has inspired major policy initiatives, but evidence to support them is either non-existent or derived from self-reports and other sources that have known limitations. We used a retrospective study design to ve…
Characterizing Social Media Metrics of Scholarly Papers: The Effect of Document Properties and Collaboration Patterns
A number of new metrics based on social media platforms--grouped under the term "altmetrics"--have recently been introduced as potential indicators of research impact. Despite their current popularity, there is a lack of information regarding the determinants of these metrics. Using publication and citation data from 1.3 million papers published in 2012 and covered in Thomson Reuters' Web of Science as well as social media counts from Altmetric.c…
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…
Team size matters: Collaboration and scientific impact since 1900
This article provides the first historical analysis of the relationship between collaboration and scientific impact using three indicators of collaboration (number of authors, number of addresses, and number of countries) derived from articles published between 1900 and 2011. The results demonstrate that an increase in the number of authors leads to an increase in impact, from the beginning of the last century onward, and that this is not due sim…
