Over a 35-year period, Irving H. Sher played a critical role in the development and implementation of the Science Citation IndexT and other ISIT products. Trained as a biochemist, statistician, and linguist, Sher brought a unique combination of talents to ISI as Director of Quality Control and Director of Research and Development. His talents as a teacher and mentor evoked loyalty. He was a par...

This study examines the differences between Scopus and Web of Science in the citation counting, citation ranking, and h-index of 22 top human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers from EQUATOR—a large British Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration project. Results indicate that Scopus provides significantly more coverage of HCI literature than Web of Science, primarily due to coverage of rel...

We apply a new bibliometric measure, the h-index (Hirsch, 2005), to the literature of information science. Faculty rankings based on raw citation counts are compared with those based on h-counts. There is a strong positive correlation between the two sets of rankings. We show how the h-index can be used to express the broad impact of a scholar’s research output over time in more nuanced fashion...

It was argued that a statistically significant finding, confirming a direction prediction based on a psychological theory, is usually an insignificant event. Replicability is the real desideratum. Three types of replication were identified and their importance discussed in terms of examples from the literature. [The Science Citation Index® (SC!®) and the Social Sciences Citation Index® (SSCI®) ...

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...

This study examines a method of generating comprehensive profiling information for a researcher analysis service. In addition to basic and performance-based information about researchers necessary to generate profiling information, we introduce researcher performance index models for researcher analysis service. The models can that measure qualitative and quantitative performance, researcher in...

The international dimensions of contemporary science have significantly impacted production and use patterns of scientific knowledge, which, in turn, requires new insights of librarians, publishers and academic institutions. Despite the recognized importance of internationality in science, studies on the internationalization of scientific output are still limited and dedicated exclusively to an...

By reviewing papers published in five important SSCI journals from 2005 to 2010, this study aimed to provide insights into intervention studies on technology-assisted instruction. It was found that still relatively little research on educational technology which addresses the effects of specific instructional interventions on student learning was conducted during this period. Moreover, most rev...
