The scientific landscape in the South Caucasus
The role of artificial intelligence in scientific research
How scientific labor is divided in international collaboration
How does scientific research generate impact beyond academia? Cross-disciplinary comparison based on REF impact cases
The impact of scientific research beyond academia is receiving increasing attention from scientists, science policy, and society in general. However, the mechanisms driving this impact remain unclear. This study systematically reviews existing theoretical models and seeks empirical evidence from the REF impact case data. Through grounded coding analysis of 200 cases across four units of assessment, six stages of research generating impact were id…

The influence of geopolitics on research activity and international collaboration in science
We study the possible influences of the Russia-Ukraine War on Russia’s research productivity and international collaboration in science. For this purpose, we introduce and apply two recently developed indicators of relative intensity and balance in international collaboration. To see whether longitudinal trends have changed recently, we combine a long-term perspective based on annual updates since the year 2000 with a short-term perspective based…
Gender differences in the patterns and consequences of changing research directions in scientific careers
Changes of research direction in scientific careers are related to the so-called “essential tension” between the exploration of new knowledge and the exploitation of established knowledge in research and innovation. Changes of research direction are thereby assumed to influence the evolution of science in general. Research has shown that such changes may also affect the success of individual scientists in their careers. However, the gender dimens…
Norden, Kina og Russland i det globale forskningssamarbeidet
Artikkelen gir oversikt over utviklingen i de nordiske landenes forskningssamarbeid med Kina og Russland siden 2004. Relasjonene undersøkes med det globale samarbeidet mellom alle land som kontekst. Datagrunnlaget er bibliografiske opplysninger om 32 millioner vitenskapelige artikler som er registrert i artikkelindeksen Web of Science. Kina er nå de nordiske landenes største samarbeidspartner i naturvitenskap og teknologi, men i andre fag er det …
Using the weighted Lorenz curve to represent balance in collaborations
Gender differences among first authors in research focused on the Sustainable Development Goal of Gender Equality
Gender differences among active reviewers
Gender differences in the aims and impacts of research
Measuring the relative intensity of collaboration within a network
Tracing the context in disciplinary classifications
Despite the centrality of disciplinary classifications in bibliometric analyses, it is not well known how the choice of disciplinary classification influences bibliometric representations of research in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). This is especially crucial when using data from national databases. Therefore, we examine the differences in the disciplinary profile of an article along with the absolute and relative number of articles a…
Toward internationalization
The past 40 years have witnessed profound changes in the international competitiveness of Mainland China’s scientific research. Based on publication data from Chinese researchers in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) from the Web of Science (WoS), this study aims to provide a bird’s-eye view of how social science research in Mainland China has internationalized over the past four decades. The findings show that the number of social science…
A comprehensive analysis of the journal evaluation system in China
Journal evaluation systems reflect how new insights are critically reviewed and published, and the prestige and impact of a discipline’s journals is a key metric in many research assessment, performance evaluation, and funding systems. With the expansion of China’s research and innovation systems and its rise as a major contributor to global innovation, journal evaluation has become an especially important issue. In this paper, we first describe …
Do national funding organizations properly address the diseases with the highest burden
Open access at the national level
Open access (OA) has mostly been studied by relying on publication data from selective international databases, notably Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus. The aim of our study is to show that it is possible to achieve a national estimate of the number and share of OA based on institutional publication data providing a comprehensive coverage of the peer-reviewed outputs across fields, publication types, and languages. Our data consists of 48,177 jou…
A Criteria-based Assessment of the Coverage of Scopus and Web of Science
Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess the coverage of the scientific literature in Scopus and Web of Science from the perspective of research evaluation. Design/methodology/approach The academic communities of Norway have agreed on certain criteria for what should be included as original research publications in research evaluation and funding contexts. These criteria have been applied since 2004 in a comprehensive bibliographic database…
Publication patterns in the social sciences and humanities
This study investigates patterns in the language and type of social sciences and humanities (SSH) publications in non-English speaking European countries to demonstrate that such patterns are related not only to discipline but also to each country’s cultural and historic heritage. We investigate publication patterns that occur across SSH publications of the whole of the SSH and of economics and business, law, and philosophy and theology publicati…

Understanding Patterns of International Scientific Collaboration
International scientific collaboration has increased both in volume and importance. In this article, the authors study the interpretation of macro-level data on international co authorship collaboration. They address such questions as how one might explain country- to-country differences in the rates of international coauthorship, networks of interna tional scientific collaboration among countries, and patterns of international collaboration in s…
