Screening VABB-SHW version 13 for publications in predatory and hijacker journals University of Antwerp
Disciplinary collaboration rates in the social sciences and humanities University of Antwerp
Using different methods to assign disciplines to publications can influence bibliometric analyses. In this study, we test the influence of applying two different types of classification on the disciplinary collaboration rates of researchers from the Social Sciences and Humanities. Two different classification types are contrasted: organisational classification, which assigns discipline(s) based on the discipline of the unit(s) of the authors, ...
Journal metrics as predictors of Research Excellence Framework 2021 results University of Antwerp
This study compares citation-based and expert-based journal metrics as predictors of peer-assessed research quality based on 154,826 journal articles submitted to UK’s Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021. The Finnish expert-based Julkaisufoorumi (JUFO) level ratings of journals determined by expert-panels per field produce scores that correlate more strongly with REF scores than those based on citation-based Journal Impact Factor (JIF) or ...
How international is co-authorship outside of Web of Science? The case of social sciences and humanities in Flanders, Belgium University of Antwerp
This paper studies the question to what extent international research collaboration in the social sciences and humanities takes place in publications that are not indexed in Web of Science (WoS). We compare the internationality of co-authors of Flemish SSH publications in WoS (BOF-WoS) to those not indexed in WoS (BOF-VABB). While publications with 2+ authors in BOF-WoS are overall more international than those in BOF-VABB (60.0% versus 48.1%), ...
Understanding and identification: The life cycle stages of research team development University of Antwerp
This study proposes a new framework for understanding and identifying the life cycle stages of research teams by studying the evolution of team effectiveness. We first develop a conceptual model to describe a basic 'life cycle' of research teams, and then test the model for the case of the NSFC Innovative Research Groups, to illustrate the strengths and potential of this method. Through the framework, we can observe the overall growth curve of ...
Content-based classification of research articles University of Antwerp
The classification of publications into disciplines has multiple applications in scientometrics – from contributing to further studies of the dynamics of research to allowing responsible use of research metrics. However, the most common ways to classify publications into disciplines are mostly based on citation data, which is not always available. Thus, we compare a set of algorithms to classify publications based on the textual data from their ...
Towards indicating interdisciplinarity University of Antwerp
This study contributes to the recent discussions on indicating interdisciplinarity, that is, going beyond catch‐all metrics of interdisciplinarity. We propose a contextual framework to improve the granularity and usability of the existing methodology for interdisciplinary knowledge flow (IKF) in which scientific disciplines import and export knowledge from/to other disciplines. To characterize the knowledge exchange between disciplines, we ...
Cognitive and interdisciplinary mobility in the social sciences and humanities University of Antwerp
This study presents knowledge diffusion analyses for researchers who have been active in the social sciences and humanities. We compare a network based on switches between the main disciplinary classifications of the documents authored throughout their careers to a discipline similarity network. We find that researchers are not exclusively switching between disciplines that are most similar cognitively. Only less than a third of the authors do ...
