The network of international co-authorship relations has been dominated by certain European nations and the USA, but this network is rapidly expanding at the global level. Between 40 and 50 countries appear in the center of the international network in 2011, and almost all (201) nations are nowadays involved in international collaboration. In this brief communication, we present both a global m...

A set of 12436 papers published in 20 GIScience journals in the period 2000–2014 were analysed to extract publication patterns and trends. This comprehensive scientometric study focuses on multiple aspects: output volume, citations, national output and efficiency (output adjusted with econometric indicators), collaboration, altmetrics (Altmetric score, Twitter mentions, and Mendeley bookmarking...

The paper applies social network analysis techniques to the task of analysis the dynamics and structure of the e-government research community. From the bibliographic data about papers published in the proceedings of this conference (International Conference on e-Government), we build a coauthorship network representing collaboration patterns among community members in the period from 2005 to 2...

Original scientific paper Collaboration has become main stream and trend in interdisciplinary fields. In research collaboration organizations, to evaluate the contributions of researchers to the organization and then to identify core researchers is an important issue to carry out performance appraisal and crisis management of brain drain. Scientific research collaboration network is a basic mod...

Research papers that studied the Triple Helix in relation to international co-authorship considered international collaboration as the fourth element of the system. This paper suggests considering three levels of study to assess the effect of international collaboration on an innovation system: the domestic one, the foreign one and the global one. The mutual information and the transmission pow...

INTRODUCTION Authorship should establish accountability and transparency, but previous research into authorship has demonstrated that authors do not always meet the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors' (ICMJE) authorship criteria. Yet, these studies have mainly focused on international, high-impact journals. The aim of the present study was to assess Danish authors' general autho...

Although a computing student is expected to learn how the Internet works, said student also needs to learn how to use the Internet properly as a resource for information. Critical skills for this task include determining both the trustworthiness of online information and whether it is useful for one's purposes. The Q6C Solution (Question, Categorize, Characterize Authorship, Contextualize, Corr...

The various ways of interacting with social media, web collaboration tools, co-authorship and citation networks for scientific and research purposes remain distinct. In this paper, we propose a solution to align such information. We particularly developed an exploratory visualization of research networks. The result is a scholar centered, multi-perspective view of conferences and people based o...

Lotka’s Law originally calculated only the frequencies of single or first authors. However, given the growth and popularity of scientific collaboration, the distribution of co-author pairs’ frequencies should also be considered. Based on the previous researchers’ results, this article will demonstrate that the distribution of co-author pairs’ frequencies can be reflected by a social gestalt and...

Today’s university student needs to learn how to use the Internet properly as a resource for information. Critical skills for this task include determining both the trustworthiness of online information and whether it is useful for one's purposes. The Q6C Solution (Question, Categorize, Characterize Authorship, Contextualize, Corroborate, Critique Rhetorically, and Conclude) is a heuristic deve...
