Global overlay map based on DOCDB IPC data for visualizing technological convergence
Technological convergence reflects emerging innovation trends, and monitoring its dynamics is crucial for innovation-related decision-making. However, quantitatively identifying and visualizing significant strengthening or weakening in technology convergence remains challenging. This study proposes a method based on EPO DOCDB IPC data to detect such patterns. A global technology base map is constructed, on which global convergence overlay maps ar…
Can generative AI effectively perform quality evaluation within social sciences? A case study in library and information science
Thus far, the usage of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) has mainly been explored for content-based evaluations. Research quality evaluations and studies focusing on fields in the social sciences are needed. Therefore, we performed a quality evaluation using state-of-the-art GAI models to assess their usability in this respect. GPT-4o and DeepSeek-V3 were employed to select papers with very high quality from a set of high quality papers. C…
How does the academia refer to open research information data sources? A review study based on OpenAlex and Microsoft Academic series
Mapping national and institutional research that targets Sustainable Development Goals using OpenAlex data
Research should address the pressing problems of society. We propose to use global maps using OpenAlex to highlight concepts (i.e., fields of research) where publishers, institutions, and countries are particularly active to achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). As examples in this study, we use the countries USA and Japan, the research institutions Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and National Center for At…
How to use assignments of United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) to scientific papers in research evaluation? The proposal of a gold standard combining assignments from different data pro…
To identify research that addresses the biggest problems facing the world today, researchers have used the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a blueprint for measuring the societal impact of research. Although one might assume that the mapping of papers to the SDGs has a high degree of uniformity (based more or less on the same data), empirical results show that this is not the case: different mapping approaches lead to d…
How similar are field-normalized citation impact scores obtained from OpenAlex and three popular commercial databases? An empirical comparison based on large German universities
OpenAlex is a freely available bibliographic database that can be used for bibliometric studies. In this study, we compared certain field-normalized citation scores (NCS) from OpenAlex with those from three commercial databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and Dimensions). We were interested in the question whether the NCS from OpenAlex are comparable to those from the commercial databases and can be alternatively used in evaluative bibliometrics. Th…
Does citation context information enhance the validity of citation analysis for measuring research quality? An empirical comparison of peer assessments and enriched citations
As citation context information has entered the Web of Science (Clarivate) in recent years, one wonders whether the legitimacy and soundness of citation analyses for measuring research quality of publications can be improved by considering this information. The legitimacy and soundness of citation analysis can be established by assessing its construct validity. This can be done by studying how citation impact variables relate to generally accepte…
The influence of public policy and administration expertise on policy
Academic expertise is a key pillar of governance processes around the world. A goal of policy and public sector actors is to draw on research to improve decision making, and correspondingly, a goal of public policy and public administration researchers is to provide relevant expertise. It is not clear, however, to what extent these goals are achieved. This study uses the Overton database to analyse the influence of public policy and administratio…
Using Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS) to analyze the research and publication culture in immunology
Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS) is a method to reveal the historical roots and landmark papers of a research field based on cited references data. RPYS visualizes how frequently cited references occur in the cited reference lists of papers published in the research field. Previous RPYS studies revealed various historical aspects of the research and publication culture in various fields of study (e.g., economy and philosophy of scie…
How can revivals of scientific publications be explained using bibliometric methods? A case study discovering booster papers for the 1985 Physics Nobel Prize paper
The unusual citation profile of the 1985 Physics Nobel Prize paper has been analyzed. The number of citing papers per year exhibits a maximum of 123 citations in the mid-1980s and increases to more than 200 citations about two decades later. The publication set of the citing papers was analyzed in terms of co-authorships and research topics. The USA and (more recently) the People’s Republic of China appear prominently among the countries of the c…
Reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS) of papers published by Loet Leydesdorff
Loet Leydesdorff (mentioned as Loet in the following) passed away in March 2023. Our paper is dedicated to the important contributions of this exceptional researcher (in scientometrics). We investigated which studies, theories, methods, and ideas have influenced Loet’s scientific work. The method reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS) can be used to answer this and related questions. Many RPYS studies have been published regarding the his…
Which of the metadata with relevance for bibliometrics are the same and which are different when switching from Microsoft Academic Graph to OpenAlex
With the announcement of the retirement of Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG), the non-profit organization OurResearch announced that they would provide a similar resource under the name OpenAlex. Thus, we compare the metadata with relevance to bibliometric analyses of the latest MAG snapshot with an early OpenAlex snapshot. Practically all works from MAG were transferred to OpenAlex preserving their bibliographic data publication year, volume, first…
Reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS) in practice
In course of the organization of Workshop III entitled “Cited References Analysis Using CRExplorer” at the International Conference of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI2021), we have prepared three reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS) analyses: (i) papers published in Journal of Informetrics ; (ii) papers regarding the topic altmetrics; and (iii) papers published by Ludo Waltman (we selected this resear…
Relevance of document types in the scores’ calculation of a specific field-normalized indicator
Although it is bibliometric standard to employ field normalization, the detailed procedure of field normalization is not standardized regarding the handling of the document types. All publications without filtering the document type can be used or only selected document types. Furthermore, the field-normalization procedure can be carried out with regard to the document type of publications or without. We studied if the field-normalized scores str…
On Health Effects of Resveratrol in Wine
We analyzed 3344 publications concerned with the health-related effects of resveratrol that occurs in wine and grapes. We discovered that publication activity increased until 2010 and decreased slightly afterwards. The most frequent author keywords were classified into six groups: (1) beverage-related keywords, (2) compound-related keywords, (3) disease-related keywords, (4) effect-related keywords, (5) mechanism-related keywords, and (6) broader…
Historical Roots and Seminal Papers of Quantum Technology 2.0
We present a historical study of Quantum Technology 2.0 using more than 66,000 papers from 1980 to 2020 that had been assigned to four subfields. We applied the method reference publication year spectroscopy to respective publication sets of the subfields in order to identify their historical roots and seminal papers. We found 126 of them in total, 43 in quantum metrology and sensing, 46 in quantum communication and cryptography, 42 in quantum co…
Are there biases in decisions to tweet on scientific papers? A plea for conducting an experimental Twitter study. Technical note
Twitter data are used as alternative metrics (altmetrics) to measure the impact or attention of research. Tweets are used to communicate about papers. However, Twitter data can only be used for research evaluation purposes, if biases do not influence tweet decisions on papers. The existence of biases can only be reasonably investigated using an experimental design with controlled (marginal) manipulations. In this comment, we propose to undertake …
Growth rates of modern science
Growth of science is a prevalent issue in science of science studies. In recent years, two new bibliographic databases have been introduced, which can be used to study growth processes in science from centuries back: Dimensions from Digital Science and Microsoft Academic. In this study, we used publication data from these new databases and added publication data from two established databases (Web of Science from Clarivate Analytics and Scopus fr…
A call for governments to pause Twitter censorship
In this study we determined whether Twitter data can be used as social-spatial sensors to show how research on COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 diffuses through the population to reach the people that are affected by the disease. We performed a cross-sectional bibliometric analysis between 23rd March and 14th April 2020. Three sources of data were used: (1) deaths per number of population for COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 retrieved from John Hopkins University and Worl…
Can tweets be used to detect problems early with scientific papers? A case study of three retracted Covid-19/Sars-CoV-2 papers
Methodological mistakes, data errors, and scientific misconduct are considered prevalent problems in science that are often difficult to detect. In this study, we explore the potential of using data from Twitter for discovering problems with publications. In this case study, we analyzed tweet texts of three retracted publications about COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019)/SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) and their retra…
Mapping the impact of papers on various status groups in excellencemapping.net
In over five years, Bornmann, Stefaner, de Moya Anegon, and Mutz (2014b) and Bornmann, Stefaner, de Moya Anegón, and Mutz (2014c, 2015) have published several releases of the www.excellencemapping.net tool revealing (clusters of) excellent institutions worldwide based on citation data. With the new release, a completely revised tool has been published. It is not only based on citation data (bibliometrics), but also Mendeley data (altmetrics). Thu…
Investigating dissemination of scientific information on Twitter
While previous research has mostly focused on the “number of mentions” of scientific research on social media, the current study applies “topic networks” to measure public attention to scientific research on Twitter. Topic networks are the networks of co-occurring author keywords in scholarly publications and networks of co-occurring hashtags in the tweets mentioning those publications. We investigate which topics in opioid scholarly publications…
Discovering seminal works with marker papers
Bibliometric information retrieval in databases can employ different strategies. Commonly, queries are performed by searching in title, abstract and/or author keywords (author vocabulary). More advanced queries employ database keywords to search in a controlled vocabulary. Queries based on search terms can be augmented with their citing papers if a research field cannot be curtailed by the search query alone. Here, we present another strategy to …
Telling the story of solar energy meteorology into the satellite era by applying (co-citation) reference publication year spectroscopy
Studying the history of research fields by analyzing publication records and topical and/or keyword searches with reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS) has been introduced as a powerful tool to identify the corresponding root publications. However, for some research fields (e.g., rather new and interdisciplinary fields) like solar energy meteorology, encompassing such research fields via a keyword- or topic-based search query is not feas…
Can altmetrics reflect societal impact considerations
Societal impact considerations play an increasingly important role in research evaluation. In particular, in the context of publicly funded research, proposal templates commonly include sections to outline strategies for achieving broader impact. Both the assessment of the strategies and the later evaluation of their success are associated with challenges in their own right. Ever since their introduction, altmetrics have been discussed as a remed…

Proposal of using scaling for calculating field-normalized citation scores
Since the end of the 1980s, citation impact values -especially for evaluative purposes-are increasingly presented as fieldnormalized citation scores than as bare citation counts or citation rates. In rather popular variants of the scores, the average score over a publication year is not exactly one due to multiple Web of Science subject categories per paper. We propose a scaling method which introduces slight changes in the field-normalized score…

Citation concept analysis (CCA) of Robert K. Merton’s book Social Theory and Social Structure
Citations can be used in evaluative bibliometrics to measure the impact of papers. However, citation analysis can be extended by considering a multidimensional perspective on citation impact which is intended to receive more specific information about the kind of received impact. Bornmann, Wray, and Haunschild (2020) introduced the citation concept analysis (CCA) for capturing the importance and usefulness certain concepts (explained in publicati…
