Introduction Bibliometric indicators are used to compare research performances and also to assess and evaluate research performance (see, e.g. GimenezToledo et al., 2007; Lane, 2010). However, recently scholars voice protest against bibliometric assessments (see, e.g., Lawrence, 2002; Molinie & Bodenhausen, 2010; Drubin, 2014). The arguments put forward are manifold. For example, the applicatio...

Q uality assessments permeate the entire scientific enterprise, from funding applications to promotions, prizes and tenure. Their remit can encompass the scientific output of individual scientists, whole departments or institutes, or even entire countries. Peer review has traditionally been the major method used to determine the quality of scientific work, either to arbitrate if the work should...

Unlike conventional finance, sustainable finance seeks to integrate social, environmental, and climate change considerations into financial institutions’ business strategies. The system’s ability positively respond sustainability transition demands is contingent upon a directional transformation that involves regulatory, political, structural, theoretical, relational shifts. Accordingly, this p...

Unique identifiers (UID) are seen as an effective tool to create links between identical publications in databases or identify duplicates in a database. The purpose of the present study is to investigate how well UIDs work for citation linking. We have two objectives: Explore the coverage, precision, and characteristics of publications matched versus not matched with UIDs as the match key.Illus...

The paper aims to examine the trends and evolution of ecotourism research in last 20 years, highlighting co-citations, collaborations, emerging themes. A total 1387 ecotourism-related from Web Science (WoS) database 1991 2021 were analyzed some bibliometric analyses using CiteSpace V software. WoS was scanned terms “ecotourism” “eco-tourism.” While scanning, “Hospitality, Leisure, Sport, Touris...

The findings and technological developments related to intelligent materials are increasingly attracting the attention of scientists. One such field is that magnetorheological (MR) materials. Scientific studies on MR have been carried out determine performance characteristics of, for example, dampers, elastomers, foams. To best authors’ knowledge, there has no statistical discussion in form bib...

This paper quantitatively analyzes the literature on Islamic microfinance from early 2000 to 2020, as represented by English-language articles Scopus database. Using a bibliometric approach plus content analysis, we describe field's evolution and structure, including co-citation, co-authorship, bibliographical coupling. We find that Malaysia is most relevant country, International University (I...

In this paper first results are presented of a study on the correlation between bibliometric indicators and the outcomes of peer judgements made by expert committees of physics in the Netherlands. As a first step to study these outcomes in more detail, we focus on the results of an evaluation of 56 research programmes in condensed matter physics in the Netherlands, a subfield which accounts for...

Fuzzy decision-making consists in making decisions under complex and uncertain environments where the information can be assessed with fuzzy sets and systems. The aim of this study is to review the main contributions in this field by using a bibliometric approach. For doing so, the article uses a wide range of bibliometric indicators including the citations and the h-index. Moreover, it also us...
