Which tasks in digital libraries might be interesting and addressable for us as a community now in the near future, given the recent developments in NLP? This paper attempts to make a guess. (Instead of actually even attempting to answer the question in its title.) What would we need to do today if we, at some point in the future, wanted to be able to answer this question objectively, quantifia...

In recent years scholars have built maps of science by connecting the academic fields that cite each other, are cited together, or that cite a similar literature. But since scholars cannot always publish in the fields they cite, or that cite them, these science maps are only rough proxies for the potential of a scholar, organization, or country, to enter a new academic field. Here we use a larg...

Paper presents scientometry as a science and a fundamental instrument for determining the international value of an university as well as for the statistical evaluation of scientific research results. The impact of the research measurable through scientometric indicators is analyzed. Promoting the scientific production of universities through institutional digital repositories deals with the co...

An index is proposed that is based on the h-index and a 3-year publication/citation window. When updated regularly, it shows the current scientific performance of researchers rather than their life-time achievement as indicated by common scientometric indicators. In this respect, the new rating scheme resembles established sports ratings such as in chess or tennis. By the example of ACM SIGMOD ...

Choosing the right title for a paper is essential for attracting readers and receiving citations, and various studies have been done on this subject. This research sought those papers citation rate with the country name ‘Iran’ in their title published during 2010-2014 using Web of Science citation index. It tried to identify highly cited papers, disciplines, distribution of papers by type and g...

The modified SNIP indicator of Elsevier, as recently explained by Waltman et al. SNIP value was obtained by dividing an arithmetic average in the numerator by a median value in the denominator which results in a quotient without the possibility of specifying the statistical uncertainty in the indicator. Instead of dividing aggregates, one should normalize observed against expected values in ter...

A class of arity-monotonic aggregation operators, called impact functions, is proposed. This family of operators forms a theoretical framework for the so-called Producer Assessment Problem, which includes the scientometric task of fair and objective assessment of scientists using the number of citations received by their publications. The impact function output values are analyzed under right-c...

We present CitNetExplorer, a new software tool for analyzing and visualizing citation networks of scientific publications. CitNetExplorer can for instance be used to study the development of a research field, to delineate the literature on a research topic, and to support literature reviewing. We first introduce the main concepts that need to be understood when working with CitNetExplorer. We t...
