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, ...
The modified repeat rate described within a thermodynamic framework University of Antwerp KU Leuven
Derek J. de Solla Price viewed science as a complex system and anticipated that the science of science can be developed via an analogy to thermodynamics. The main point of this article is to show a direct equivalence between a thermodynamic framework and the classical theory of evenness. It illustrates how thermodynamically inspired terms can lead to the measures used to quantify diversity (or lack thereof), balance, evenness, consistency, 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%), ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
