The use of academic profiling sites is becoming more common, and emerging technologies boost researchers' visibility and exchange of ideas. In our study we compared profiles at five different profiling sites. These five sites are ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Google Scholar Citations, ResearcherID and ORCID. The data set is enriched by demographic information including age, gender, position and a...

Ao compreender melhor os indicadores que definem o perfil empreendedor dos egressos do ensino profissional técnico e tecnológico, as instituições de superior formuladores políticas públicas podem formular ações educacionais voltadas para egressos. O artigo contribui a literatura empreendedora, explorando, por meio um estudo bibliométrico, habilidades impactam egressos, especialmente tecnológico...

Introduction Bibliometric indicators are used to compare research performances and also to assess and evaluate research performance (see, e.g. GimenezToledo et al., 2007; Lane, 2010). However, recently scholars voice protest against bibliometric assessments (see, e.g., Lawrence, 2002; Molinie & Bodenhausen, 2010; Drubin, 2014). The arguments put forward are manifold. For example, the applicatio...

Science policy framed by audit culture relies heavily on performance measurement. This changing research environment affects higher education institutions and their scientific libraries. As service providers for research and teaching libraries need to demonstrate their added-value in front of various stakeholders. Some Library and Information Science (LIS) scholars and practitioners thus promot...

Evaluating the scientific output of researchers, research institutions, academic departments and even universities is a challenging issue. To do this, bibliometric indicators are helpful tools, more and more familiar to research and governmental institutions. This paper proposes a structured method to compare academic research groups within the same discipline, by means of some Hirsch (h) based...
