With data on scholarly publications becoming more abundant and accessible, there exist new opportunities for using this information to provide rich author profiles to display and explore scholarly work. We present a pair of linked visualizations connected to the Microsoft Academic Graph that can be used to explore the publications and citations of individual authors. We provide an online applic...

The predictive power of the h-index has been shown to depend for a long time on citations to rather old publications. This has raised doubts about its usefulness for predicting future scientific achievements. Here I investigate a variant which considers only the recent publications and is therefore more useful in academic hiring processes and for the allocation of research resources. It is simp...

The proportion of women occupying academic positions in biological sciences has increased in the past few decades, but women are still under-represented in senior academic ranks compared to their male colleagues. Primatology has been often singled out as a model of "equal-opportunity" discipline because of the common perception that women are more represented in Primatology than in similar fiel...

Purpose – This study seeks to establish and compare the research and publication patterns and output of academic librarians in Eastern Africa from 2000 to 2009 using informetric techniques. Design/methodology/approach – The study confined its scope to publications produced between 2000 and 2009. The informetric technique (through content analysis) was used as a research method.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is an educational movement that is gaining ground throughout the world. We can define SEL as the capacity to recognize and manage emotions, solve problems effectively, and establish positive relationships with others. Research has demonstrated the significant role of SEL in promoting healthy student development and academic achievement. Extensive research con...

OBJECTIVE To develop a search filter in order to retrieve scientific publications on physical activity from Brazilian academic institutions. METHODS The academic search filter consisted of the descriptor "exercise" associated through the term AND, to the names of the respective academic institutions, which were connected by the term OR. The MEDLINE search was performed with PubMed on 11/16/20...

My work aims to build a system to automatically predict the writing quality in scientific articles from two genres—academic publications and science journalism. Our goal is to employ these predictions for article recommendation systems and to provide feedback during

The use of bibliometrics (e.g. citation index and impact factors) in measuring academic research performances can affect the publication strategy of researchers. Such effects may be particularly potent to young researchers who are at a transitional stage of their academic career. This paper explores how bibliometrics affect the publication strategy from a point of view of a post-doctoral fellow...
