Цель исследования – обоснование роли наукометрии в управлении научной деятельность на различных уровнях социальной иерархии. Важнейшая задача выделение функций наукометрии, как симбиоза социологии науки и инфометрии. Актуальность данной статьи обусловлена необходимостью раскрытия потенциала наукой, особенно уровне научных организаций (в том числе университетов). Авторами выделены функции предст...

Maturity models assess the prevailing capability level and proffer necessary capabilities for effective adoption in a systematic roadmap. This is considered essential to achieve diffusion of emerging technologies. The paper provides guide maturity model development digitisation era. study adopted scientometrics meta-synthesis critically review provide guidance on development. Firstly, bibliogra...

A simplified and sometimes vulgar understanding of the role scientometrics in science management makes it necessary to better understand its essential characteristics. In this paper, is considered interrelations with bibliometrics informetrics that are fields knowledge closest it.In relation bibliometrics, informetrics, part discusses representationof their object. Its reinterpretation using mo...

Admittedly, despite the plethora of scientometric indices proposed to rank scientists, none of them can fully capture the performance and impact of a scientist, since each index quantifies only one or a few aspects of his/her multifarious performance. Therefore, the task of scientometric ranking can be seen as a multi-dimensional ranking problem, where the different indices comprise the dimensi...

The concept of h-index has been proposed to easily assess a researcher’s performance with a single number. However, by using only this number, we lose significant information about the distribution of citations per article in an author’s publication list. In this article, we study an author’s citation curve and we define two new areas related to this curve. We call these “penalty areas", since ...

Combining different data sets with information on grant and fellowship applications submitted to two renowned funding agencies, we are able to compare their funding decisions (award and rejection) with scientometric performance indicators across two fields of science (life sciences and social sciences). The data sets involve 671 applications in social sciences and 668 applications in life scien...

Seven attributes that I think distinguish exemplary from other manuscripts that use quantitative research methods are discussed in this article. The attributes have evolved in unknown ways as a result of my experiences as a doctoral student, contributor to the literature, and service as an editor of scholarly publications. My hope is that the suggestions provided herein will be of use to gradua...

introduction: traditional medicine is not only useful in health care and improvement of quality of life, but also is applied in diagnosis and treatment of diseases. hence, paying more attention to this area is of high important. this study aimed to evaluate the scientific production and scientific mapping of iranian researchers in traditional medicine during 1990-2011 in “web of science” databa...
