Se presentan las características más significativas de la nueva versión de Google Scholar Metrics (julio 2013), subrayando las novedades y las debilidades detectadas en un primer análisis “de urgencia”. Cabe destacar precisamente la ausencia de novedades respecto a anteriores actualizaciones, ya que la única modificación es la actualización del marco temporal (2008-2012); por tanto persisten lo...

A number of rankings of Computer Science Conferences and Journals exist (e.g., CORE [1]), however issues exist with these rankings, such as they are ageing rapidly, they are not actively updated, and there are differences in their methodologies and resulting rankings making them difficult to compare. A recent addition to the resources available to researchers evaluating the impact of their publ...

Purpose Google Scholar was used to locate free full-text versions of computer science research papers to determine what proportion could be freely accessed. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 1967 conference papers and periodical articles from 2003-2010, indexed in the ACM Guide to Computing Literature, was searched for manually in Google Scholar, using the paper or article title and the f...

The effect of metadata in collection fusion has not been sufficiently studied. In response to this, we present a novel meta-search engine called Dyniqx for metadata based search. Dyniqx integrates search results from search services of documents, images, and videos for generating a unified list of ranked search results. Dyniqx exploits the availability of metadata in search services such as Pub...

Purpose – This paper aims to demonstrate the role that the Google general search engine plays in the information-seeking behaviour of scientists, particularly physicists and astronomers. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on a mixed-methods study including 56 semi-structured interviews, a questionnaire survey of 114 respondents (47 per cent response rate) and the use of informatio...
