Effects of Academic Experience and Prestige on Researchers' Citing Behavior

向作者/读者索取更多资源

This article reports the findings of a bibliometric study of the measurable effects of experience and prestige on researchers' citing behavior. All single authors from two econometrics journals over a 10-year time period form the basis of the analysis of how experience and prestige affect the number of references in their publications. Preliminary results from linear regression models suggest that two author types can be characterized using this analysis. Review experience seems to be the decisive factor in the data. The article discusses the implications of the findings and offers suggestions for future research within this new and promising area.

Obsolescence of the literature: A study of included studies in Cochrane reviews

Frandsen Tove Faber, Mette Brandt Eriksen, David Mortan Grone Hammer

Summary: This study aims to investigate the differences in obsolescence across sub-disciplinary fields over time. The findings show significant differences in median citation age and mean citation age across different groups. The study highlights the vast differences in health sciences subfields, emphasizing the importance of citation window length in bibliometric evaluations or studies of fields with varying obsolescence rates.

The use of subject headings varied in Embase and MEDLINE: An analysis of indexing across six subject areas

Tove Faber Frandsen, Anne-Marie Fiala Carlsen, Mette Brandt Eriksen

Summary: This study empirically explores the number of subject headings assigned to publications in two databases over time. The findings show that the average number of subject headings in MEDLINE remains stable or slightly decreases, while in Embase it increases dramatically during a certain period. Linear regressions reveal that the number of subject headings is associated with the language, abstract length, publication year, and subject area of the publications.

Authors publishing repeatedly in predatory journals: An analysis of Scopus articles

Tove Faber Frandsen

Summary: Scholars engage with predatory or questionable journals for various reasons, including monetary gain and the potential for quick promotion. This study examines the publishing behavior of authors in predatory journals, particularly those who repeatedly publish in such outlets. The findings show that a significant portion of authors publish in predatory journals multiple times, and the number of publications is correlated with the overall output of articles and reviews. Furthermore, the study reveals that authors who publish in predatory journals also publish in reputable journals.

Achieving a Professorship with Proper Academic Merit: Discouraging Questionable Publishing

Tove Faber Frandsen, Richard Bruce Lamptey, Edward Mensah Borteye, Victor Teye

Summary: There are discussions in research communities regarding the issue of publishing in predatory and questionable outlets. Universities are taking actions to address this problem by implementing new promotion guidelines and verification processes. A case study at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana shows that these measures can effectively reduce the number of papers that do not meet the criteria.

Defining the unscholarly publication: a bibliometric study of uncited and barely cited publications

Tove Faber Frandsen, Jeppe Nicolaisen

Summary: Bibliometric studies often struggle with identifying and classifying non-scholarly publications. This study explores the correlation between the number of references and citations received to separate scholarly from non-scholarly publications. Two analyses were conducted using Scopus data, but no natural cutoff point was found to distinguish between the two types of publications. Additionally, the study reveals how defining scholarly publications based on the number of references can impact bibliometric analyses across different subject areas.

A systematic review of almost three decades of value sensitive design (VSD): what happened to the technical investigations?

Anne Gerdes, Tove Faber Frandsen

Summary: This article presents a systematic literature review on the adaptation of technical investigations in value sensitive design (VSD) studies from 1996 to 2023. The review includes theoretical and applied studies that discuss or conduct technical investigations in VSD. The findings contribute to the refinement of the methodological framework for technical investigations in VSD.

Supplementary strategies identified additional eligible studies in qualitative systematic reviews

Tove Faber Frandsen, Mette Brandt Eriksen

Summary: There is an increasing number of qualitative systematic reviews, but searching for relevant qualitative literature is challenging. Supplementary search strategies like citation searches and alternative search strategies can increase retrieval potential. The results of this study suggest that these supplementary search strategies should be included when identifying literature for qualitative reviews.

Exploring Research Fields Through Institutional Contributions to Academic Journals

Tove Faber Frandsen, Jeppe Nicolaisen

Summary: Academic journals play a vital role in disseminating and sharing scientific knowledge, serving as a foundation for exploring research fields in digital libraries. Previous studies have focused on the activities of authors, but this study examines institutional contributions to ten library and information journals. The results show significant variations in the distribution of institutions and their contributions across different journals, with some journals having regular contributions from multiple institutions and others receiving infrequent or rare contributions.
