Objective. The paper presents principal theoretical starting points and an overview of attitudes to altmetrics-based research evaluation among scientists various disciplines in Slovakia, more specifically comparison with traditional, bibliometric approaches. Design/Methodology/Approach. We used a questionnaire asked researchers from about their knowledge principle characteristics defining the a...

This article represents a literature review that has two parts. Her is talking about the first part: scholarly communication model. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest both in scholarly communication as a research area and in the application of bibliometrics as a research method. This article is a compilation of scholarly communication models at the intersection of scholarly...

This contribution gives a bibliometric perspective on the recently strongly discussed topic concerning the role of conferences in computer science. We investigate the frequency and impact of conference publications in computer science, comparing with journal articles. It turns out that, from a bibliometric perspective, the best strategy to gain impact is that of publishing few, final, and well-...

A bibliometric approach to assess trends in global tea research using literature in the Science Citation Index Expanded database from 1991 to 2014 has been conducted. Articles were analysed by scientific output and research performances of countries and institutions. The distribution of keywords in the articles’ titles, author-supplied keywords and

The methods of bibliometric research of scientific periodicals are studied much better than the properties of periodicals though the latter are the subject of the assessment. Since the properties in most cases are not being evaluated directly, the problem is to identify the intermediate that is DIRECTLY evaluated by a concrete method and to determine, which specific property of a scientific per...

Librarians rely on the Institute for Scientific Information’s journal impact factor as a tool for selecting periodicals, primarily in scientific disciplines. A current trend is to use this data as a means for evaluating the performance of departments, institutions, and even researchers in academic institutions—a process that is now being tied to tenure and promotion—despite the fact that such u...

Since 1980, national university departmental ranking exercises have developed in several countries. This paper reviews exercises in the U.S., U.K. and Australia to assess the state-of-the-art and to identify common themes and trends. The findings are that the exercises are becoming more elaborate, even unwieldy, and that there is some retreat from complexity. There seems to be a movement toward...

Health research is often credited with driving improvements in health outcomes. However, there is much debate within universities and national funding organizations (such as the National Institutes of Health in the United States, the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, and the United Kingdom Research Assessment Exercise) about how best to evaluate and weigh the impact of different types of...

In this article, we present the results of an analysis that describes the research centered on Journal Impact Factors (JIFs). The purpose of the analysis is to make a start of studying part of the field of quantitative science studies that relates to the most famous and classic bibliometric indicator around and to see what characteristics apply to the research on JIFs. In this article, we start...
