  • Developing countries may pay attention to bibliometric indicators in accordance with their scientific development plans. Bibliometrics research topics and bibliometric indicators have grown dramatically in Iran since 2000 as a part of the post-war reconstruction programs. This paper aims to highlight how scientometrics may attract attention in developing countries such as Iran in response to national movements in education and science. An in-depth review on available guidelines for promotion of innovation, science, and technology in Iran was done followed by a review on previous research in this topic. Further data were gathered from Scopus and other sources. The findings show a considerable growth in research output of Iran in recent years and expansion of bibliometrics studies and jobs accordingly. Combined with research output measures, more attention was found in academia about cross-section development of science and technology in Iran. The demand in society has led to the foundation of scientometrics programs in Iranian universities as well as scientometrics departments in central libraries and research deputies in major academic institutions. The changing image of science and research in Iran has a relation with the growth of scientometrics academic and professional departments. The lessons taught from this mutual collaboration can be used in other developing nations.

  • It is but a short journey from citation indexing to citation analysis and thence to evaluative bibliometrics. This paper outlines the path and describes how the time-honored practice of affixing bibliographic references to scholarly articles has paved the way for a culture of accounting to establish itself in contemporary academia.

  • Scientometrics and research evaluation describe and analyze research publications when conducting publication, citation, and topic analyses. However, what exactly is a (scientific, academic, scholarly or research) publication? This article demonstrates that there are many problems when it comes to looking in detail at quantitative publication analyses, citation analyses, altmetric analyses, and topic analyses. When is a document a publication and when is it not? We discuss authorship and contribution, formally and informally published documents, as well as documents in between (preprints, research data) and the characteristics of references, citations, and topics. What is a research publication? Is there a commonly accepted criterion for distinguishing between research and non-research? How complete and unbiased are data sources for research publications and sources for altmetrics? What is one research publication? What is the unit of a publication that causes us to count it as "1?" In this regard, we report problems related to multi-author publications and their counting, weighted document types, the unit and weighting of citations and references, the unit of topics, and counting problems-not only at the article and individual researcher level (micro-level), but also at the meso-level (e.g., institutions) and macro-level (e.g., countries). Our results suggest that scientometric counting units are not reliable and clear. Many scientometric and research evaluation studies must therefore be used with the utmost caution.

  • 과학기술이 다양해지고 융합기술이 발달함에 따라 동료평가만으로 기술과 성과를 평가하는 것은 더욱 어려워졌다. 해당 전문가를 찾기도 쉽지 않을 뿐만 아니라 연구자들 사이에 이해관계가 한층 복잡해졌기 때문이다. 과학계량학(Scientometrics)은 과학자의 연구활동을 정치성이나 이해관계를 배척하고 객관적으로 계측하여, 성과에 비해 시그널이 약하게 발산되는 우수한 연구자나 연구 분야를 찾아내어 올바른 평가를 가능하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 OLED 기술에 대해 집계분석과 몇 가지 네트워크 분석 기법을 활용하여 과학계량학적 분석을 수행하고, 결과에 대해 한국에서는 어떤 평가가 가능한지에 대해 기술한다.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라 과학기술정책 기조 변화에 관한 중장기적 비교 분석을 통해 정책기조의 변화를 파악하고 있다. 과학계량학(scientometrics)적 접근 방법을 이용하여 국가연구개발투자 효율성 관련 정책의 기조변화 및 이슈를 유형화하고, 시기별 과학기술투자 효율화 정책 기조의 방향을 분석한다. 정책기조의 변화 분석은 과학기술혁신5개년계획(1999-2002)부터 MB정부 과학기술기본계획(2008-현재)의 과학기술기본계획 문서를 이용하여, 과학기술투자 효율화 정책기조 변화에 관해서 공통단어분석을 수행하고 있다. 구체적으로 한 단락 안에 연구개발투자 효율성과 관련된 공통출현단어들을 추출하여 단어별로 빈도수, 상대빈도, 시기별 관련성 등을 분석한다. 연구개발투자 효율성과 공통으로 출현하는 공통출현단어의 순위유사성 분석과 중복률 분석을 종합하면, 연구개발투자 효율성 관련 정책기조의 변화는 Regime 1(과학기술혁신 5개년 계획과 참여정부 과학기술기본계획), Regime 2(과학기술기본계획과 참여정부 과학기술기본계획), Regime 3(MB 정부의 과학기술기본계획)로 구분할 수 있었다.

  • 1990년대부터 계량정보학은 정보학자들 사이에서 주목을 받는 분야로 발전해오면서 현재 계량서지학, 사이언토메트릭스 등 모든 계량학을 포괄하는 개념으로 인식되고 있다. 계량정보학의 역동적인 발전을 조명하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 계량정보학 연구출판물을 기반으로 하여 이 분야의 지적구조를 분석하고자 하였다. 적용된 기법은 통계적 기법과 프로파일링 기법이다. 데이터 수집을 위해서는 SCI 데이터베이스를 이용하였으며 2001년부터 2011년까지의 Web of Knoewledge 데이터베이스에서 다음과 같은 5개의 질의를 가지고 데이터를 수집하였다: informetrics', bibliometrics', scientometrics', webometrics', citation analysis.' 프로파일링 기법으로 주요 주제, 저자, 저널별로 지적구조도를 제시하였으며 계량정보학 연구를 수행한 주요 국가, 기관, 저자도 분석되었는데 미국과 영국이 이 분야 연구를 주도하고 있으며 M. Thelwall이 10년동안 생산성이 가장 높은 저자인 것으로 나타났다.

  • Given the difference in research performance in various scientific fields, this study aims to weight and valuate current indicators used for evaluation of scientific productions (publications), in order to adjust these indicators in comparison to each other and make possible a more precise evaluation of scientific productions. This is a scientometrics study using documentary, evaluative, and survey techniques. The statistical population consisted of 106 top Iranian researchers, scientists, and scientific and research managers. Then their research résumé information was gathered and analyzed based on research questions. In order to compare values, the data gathered from research production performance of the population was weighted using Shannon entropy method. Also, the weights of each scientific production importance according to expert opinions (extracted from other works) was analyzed and after adjustment the final weight of each scientific production was determined. A pairwise matrix was used in order to determine the ratios. According to the results, in the area of engineering sciences, patents (0.142) in the area of science, international articles (0.074) in the area of humanities and social sciences, books (0.174), and in the area of medical sciences, international articles (0.111) had the highest weight compared to other information formats. By dividing the weights for each type of publication, the value of each scientific production compared to other scientific productions in the same field and productions of other fields was calculated. Validation of the results in the studied population resulted in very high credibility for all investigated indicators in all four fields. By using these values and normalized ratios of publication indicators it is possible to achieve precise and adjusted results, making it possible to feasibly use these results in realistic policy making.

  • Scientometrics and social network analysis (SNA) measures were used to analyze the international scientific collaboration (ISC) of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for a period of 10 years (2009-2018). The dataset consists of 19,622 records retrieved from the Scopus database. The mean degree of collaboration 0.95 implied that researchers of AIIMS tend to collaborate domestically (80.29%) and internationally (14.67%). The data exhibits a hyper authorship pattern, and a medium-size research team consists of 4 to 10 authors who contributed a maximum of 62.08% (12,182) publications. 71.97% of research findings are scattered in journal articles. The most preferred journals published 58.55% of medical literature. An undirected collaboration network is constructed in Pajek to study the ISC of AIIMS during the period 2009-2018 which consists of 179 vertices (Vn) and 11,938 edges. The degree centrality (Dc) identified that the United States of America (Dc - 54; CC - 0.99) and United Kingdom (Dc - 41; 0.98) are the most collaborative countries in the whole network as well as the most influential countries. The Louvain community detection method is used to detect influential research groups of AIIMS. The temporal evolution of ISC of AIIMS studied through scientometrics and SNA measures shed light on the structure and properties of ISC networks of AIIMS. It revealed that AIIMS, India has taken keen steps to enrich the quality of research by extending and encouraging the collaboration between institutions and industries at the international level.
