This article employs citation analysis on a micro level- the level of the cited document; in this case, Walter Benjamin's Illuminations (1968/2007). The study shows how this frequently cited publication-more than 4,000 citations in Web of Science-has been received. The growth of citations and interdisciplinary citing is studied, and a novel approach-page citation analysis-is applied to study how different parts of Illuminations have been cited. The article demonstrates how bibliometric methods can be used together with qualitative accounts to map the impact and dissemination of a particular publication. Furthermore, it shows how bibliometric methods can be utilized to study intellectual structures in the humanities, and highlights the influence of the humanities on the social sciences and sciences.

Who are the users of national open access journals? The case of the Finnish Journal.fi platform

Janne Polonen, Sami Syrjamaki, Antti-Jussi Nygard, Bjorn Hammarfelt

Summary: The study shows that students and researchers are the main users on the Finnish Journal.fi platform, but other categories such as private citizens, other experts, and teachers are also present. While new publications receive attention, students still show a significant interest in older materials. Finnish language publications are particularly important for attracting different types of users.

Shared burden is always lighter - Peer-review performance in an ophthalmological journal 2010-2020

Tomas Bro, Bjorn Hammarfelt

Summary: The study found an increase in submitted manuscripts to an ophthalmological journal over the last decade, with a further increase during the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of reviewer invitations needed to obtain one review grew during the study period but remained constant between 2019 and 2020. The burden for unique reviewers did not increase, the reviewer pool expanded, allowing the annual average number of reviews by individual reviewers to remain stable.

Time and temporality in library and information science

Jutta Haider, Veronica Johansson, Bjorn Hammarfelt

Summary: This article introduces selected theoretical approaches to time and temporality relevant to library and information science, emphasizing the importance of temporal perspectives in shaping notions of information. By reviewing theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of time and identifying four main themes, it explores how time influences different aspects of information practices. The authors advocate for a dialogue with perspectives on time from other fields, highlighting the potential for advancing the understanding of how notions and experiences of time shape late-modern societies and individuals within the library and information science field.

Are evaluative bibliometrics neoliberal? A historical and theoretical problematization

Bjorn Hammarfelt, Olof Hallonsten

Summary: In this article, the authors problematize the idea that the growing use of bibliometric evaluation can be explained by neoliberal ideology. They compare four national research evaluation systems to understand the motivations and rationales behind implementing these systems. They find that while these countries display strong political steering, it does not necessarily indicate neoliberal characteristics.
