In the equation, C and a are constants (Lotka, 1926). However, the distribution of absolute values of scientometric variables in ranks has not received much attention by researchers. Mansilla, Köppen, Cocho, and Miramontes (2007) suggested an empirical law for the rank-order behavior of journal impact factors. They used data for the journal impact factors in some areas and found an extremely go...

This paper summarizes ongoing research in NLP (Natural Language Processing) driven citation analysis and describes experiments and motivating examples of how this work can be used to enhance traditional scientometrics analysis that is based on simply treating citations as a “vote” from the citing paper to cited paper. In particular, we describe our dataset for citation polarity and citation pur...

In November 2012 the Google Scholar Metrics (GSM) journal rankings were updated, making it possible to compare bibliometric indicators in the 10 languages indexed – and their stability – with the April 2012 version. The h-index and h-5 median of 1,000 journals were analysed, comparing their averages, maximum and minimum values and the correlation coefficient within rankings. The bibliometric fi...

A fairly large number of publications in sociology, in computer science or in information sciences, as well as in studies of collaboration in science deal with the studies of social networks with unweighted ties because measures involving unweighted ties are easier to calculate. A few studies on networks with weighted ties have been conducted. Such studies not only need more complex formulas bu...

A recent published newspaper article commented on the (lack of) quality of Brazilian science and its (in) efficiency. The newspaper article was based on a special issue of Nature and on a new resource for scientometrics called Nature Index. I show here arguments and sources of bias that, under the light of the principle in dubio pro reo, it is questionable to dispute the quality and efficiency ...
