In the paper the implementation of the newly established methodological scheme for scientometric and bibliometric analysis of scientific periodicals is presented. This methodology is applied to the Arheologia journal, the leading scientific Ukrainian archaeological journal. The study aims to obtain a “portrait” of the journal, characterise its development and change, determine worrying issues, and suggest potential growth directions. We applied the methods of scientometric, bibliometric, lexicological, and semantic studies, as well as a few statistical tools. By calculating the Herfindahl — Hirschman index (HHI), we estimated the journal’s monopolisation level from 2015 to 2017 and 2021 to 2023. Furthermore, we analysed the list of journal authors based on the metadata of almost 1700 articles and concluded that the features of authors’ contributions and the cooperation patterns correspond to those of humanities and social sciences journals. The list of sections and their change through time was analysed for 1947–2023, as well as the number of papers in the main sections (228 journal issues and more than 3600 papers were studied, for that matter). The word frequency in the paper’s titles has been investigated for the same period. The keywords selection and use patterns were considered from 2009 to 2023 when these were included in the journal’s metadata. Finally, the dataset of papers from 1989 to 2023 was used to evaluate the papers’ titles’ “synthesising capacity.” This parameter is introduced together with the developed methodology of estimating the titles’ capacity to introduce the analytical or synthesising nature of scientific papers. The estimation follows the criteria of creativity, functionality, and engagement. We compared the results for 2019–2023 with the data from the Open Archaeology international journal (published by DeGruyter) for the same period. The studied data prove that improving the journal’s visibility for a broader audience worldwide requires modernising its publishing policies. Structuring the sectioning system and using keywords would also be very beneficial. For instance, all determined growth directions are indirectly connected with Ukraine’s current state of archaeological theory and methodology. The research revealed the traditionality of Arheologia publishing strategies. It underscored the dynamics of the change in its main parameters and allowed the determination of the features of this journal and Ukrainian archaeology in general.

Scientific journals are currently the primary medium used by researchers to report their research findings. The transformation of print journals into e-journals during the last two decades has not only simplified the process of submissions to journals but has also increased their access across the world. It is well-known that there are significant differences in the total number of journals published from different countries. It is, however, not very concretely known whether the lack of appropriate number of publication venues in a country (including in one or more subject areas) may inhibit its publication propensity in one way or other. This article, therefore, attempts to explore the relationship between the number of journals published from a country and its research output. Scopus database is used as reference database and the master journal list of Scopus is analysed to identify number of journals published from 50 selected countries, that have significant volume of research output. The publication data for the countries is obtained from Scopus. The following major relationships are analysed: (a) number of journals from a country and its research output, (b) growth rate of journals and research output for different countries, (c) global share of journals and research output for different countries, and (d) subject area-wise number of journals and research output in that subject area for different countries. The analytical results show that for majority of the countries, the number of journals is positively correlated to their research output volume. A similar relationship is also observed in the subject area-wise analysis, confirming existence of the positive correlations between number of journals in a subject area and the research output in that subject area. However, several countries do not fully conform to the observed relationship, indicating that there are several other factors driving the research output of a country. The study, at the end, presents a discussion of the analytical outcomes and provides implications for policy perspectives for different countries.

Little is known as to whether there may be any pathogenetic link between pulmonary carcinoids and neuroendocrine carcinomas. An eight-gene signature with copy number variations (CNVs) in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), namely MEN1, MYC, MYCL1, RICTOR, RB1, SDHA, SRC and TP53, was used to classify an independent cohort of 54 surgically resectable tumors [31 typical carcinoids (TC), 11 atypical carcinoids (AC) and 12 small cell lung carcinomas (SCLC)], for which transcriptome and mutation data were available. Unsupervised clustering analysis identified two histology-independent clusters, namely CL1 and CL2, where 17/42 (40.5%) carcinoids and all the SCLC samples fell into the latter. CL2 carcinoids affected survival adversely, were enriched in T to G transversions and T>C/C>T transitions in the context of specific mutational signatures, presented with at least 1.5-fold change (FC) increase of gene mutations including TSC2, SMARCA2, SMARCA4, ERBB4 and PTPRZ1, differed for gene e...

The paper explores the research impact and collaboration of Central Agricultural University (CAU) and Manipur University (MU), India, between 2013 and 2022. A bibliometric analysis of 1,932 publications and 23,519 citations extracted from the Scopus database reveals a significant increase in publications. Notably, 77.64 % of these papers resulted from national collaborations, while 22.41 % had international, particularly with the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea. The analysis of co-authorship patterns indicates a decline in single and two-authored papers, while multi-authored papers have increased significantly. The study highlights the rapid growth of collaboration networks, with CAU, Imphal leading in national collaborations across 61 countries. These findings provide that both CAU and MU have significantly expanded their research networks, resulting in improved research output and citation impact.

Policing (PSMP). During this time, Hungarian law enforcement and the faculty that accommodates the Department have undergone significant development. In the first ten years after its establishment, the Department grew in numbers and became an academic research centre. The lecturers and professors of the Department were undoubtedly the driving force behind this development. Still, their workshop attracted far more participants to join the research network than the number of lecturers in the Department. The research network is required to produce up-to-date and scientifically grounded teaching materials due to the contribution of academic experts, either nationals or foreigners, former and current scholars, and representatives of the private security industry and municipal and corporate security professionals. The article describes the milestones in the development of the Department and undertakes a retrospective analysis of the metadata of the published academic papers using scientometric analysis methods. The authorship collaboration relations between members of the broader research community complements this latter analysis. We used social network analysis methods concerning the co-authorship networks set up by publications affiliated with the PSMP Department.

Using scientometric analysis, this paper examines studies on risk factors in
build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects related to student housing infrastructure from 1994 to
2024. Bibliometric data was obtained from Scopus and Dimensions AI, and 38 relevant articles
were selected. The analysis revealed a consistent increase in research on risk factor in BOT for
other project types since 2007, but few in student housing. Most articles originated from China,
Australia, the UK, and the USA. The numerical analysis of 22 authors of the 38 selected
articles indicated 162.8 as an average score of the total research link strength. Through the
chosen articles, keywords such as risk assessment, critical risk factors, critical success factors,
and risk mitigation were identified alongside various BOT project types. Few key terms related
to student housing infrastructure suggest insufficient attention. The study concluded on the
need to encourage research on risk factors in BOT student housing development

This study historically analyzes the scientific output of Mathematics to describe its structure, notions and scientific origin using the historiographical method. The research data consisted of scientific outputs of Mathematics in ISI database, Science Citation Index (SCI) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) during 8 years (1990 to 2007). The data collection tool was the search engine and the analysis part of the WOS and also HistCite TM software. According to White (2003), the sample of the study was circa one percent of the studied data (i.e. 120 documents) that was analyzed based on two different aspects: Local Citation Score (LCS) and Global Citation Score (GCS).The research results show that with regard to Local Citation Score (LCS), five scientific clusters were formed and all of them were related to different fields of "Mathematics Education". Based on Global Citation Score (GCS), there were no significant scientific cluster in this field, and this is while the amount of Global Citation Score was significantly more than Local Citation Score. According to the findings it seems that: 1. The major scientific clusters and transitions in Mathematics are mostly related to theoretical fields as this issue has caused a new paradigm in this discipline. 2. The amount of this scientific field's influence on Applied Mathematics is much more than the non-Applied Mathematics.

We evaluate whether society can adequately be conceptualized as a component of social-ecological systems, given social theory and the current outputs of systems-based research. A mounting critique from the social sciences posits that resilience theory has undertheorized social entities with the concept of social-ecological systems. We trace the way that use of the term has evolved, relating to social science theory. Scientometic and network analysis provide a wide range of empirical data about the origin, growth, and use of this term in academic literature. A content analysis of papers in Ecology and Society demonstrates a marked emphasis in research on institutions, economic incentives, land use, population, social networks, and social learning. These findings are supported by a review of systems science in 18 coastal assessments. This reveals that a systems-based conceptualization tends to limit the kinds of social science research favoring quantitative couplings of social and ecological components and downplaying interpretive traditions of social research. However, the concept of social-ecological systems remains relevant because of the central insights concerning the dynamic coupling between humans and the environment, and its salient critique about the need for multidisciplinary approaches to solve real world problems, drawing on heuristic devices. The findings of this study should lead to more circumspection about whether a systems approach warrants such claims to comprehensiveness. Further methodological advances are required for interdisciplinarity. Yet there is evidence that systems approaches remain highly productive and useful for considering certain social components such as land use and hybrid ecological networks. We clarify advantages and restrictions of utilizing such a concept, and propose a reformulation that supports engagement with wider traditions of research in the social sciences.

College and Research Libraries News (C&RL News) is an editorially reviewed publication that publishes news, case studies and other non-research material. The articles in the News do not go through peer review and are meet different standards. This study presents a systematic analysis of the publications in the C&RL News, magazine during the year 1996 to 2019. The analysis provides the understanding of features about highly cited publications. Although the articles in the magazine had been published after an editorial review only and not as other standard peer reviewed policies adopted by reputed journals, it appears in second quartile (Q2) in SCImago Journal Raking among publications of library and information science. The publication data collected from Scopus database has been utilized for analyses and interpretations. Authors have applied scientometric indicators such as collaboration coefficient, annual growth rate, relative growth rate to recognize various dynamics of the magazine. Authors have also analysed the characteristics of the highly cited publications and found that high profile collaborative authorship and addressing the contemporary trending topics are consistent features of highly cited documents, even without having a formal peer-review process.

Nuclear law refers to the legal framework that governs the development, regulation, and use of nuclear energy and technology. The gap that this study seeks to fill concerns the use of the scientometric method, based on an information structure found in indexed scientific studies on the evolution of the theme of nuclear law. The present study aimed to map out the themes of scientific production between 1970 and the first semester of 2023. Data were collected from research activities indexed by the SCOPUS database and analyzed with the aid of the scientometric VOSviewer software. Considering the limitations of this study, the main scientometric results related to the theme of nuclear law are the following: the United Kingdom and the United States of America present the greatest collaboration in co-authorship between countries; the subject has a broader scope in the field of social science and no significant impact or frequency of Brazilian publications or authors was identified. It was concluded that nuclear law, in line with legal and ethical principles, can contribute to the wellbeing of humanity and the preservation of the environment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the research process on the concept of knowledge management using the method of analysis and mapping of scientometrics to show the dispersion of countries, universities, journals, research articles and researchers and their colleagues in different parts of the world. Descriptions of social networks were analyzed on the WOS database from 2000 to 2019, and the structure and patterns of information exchanged in the field of knowledge management research, as well as the interpretation of the relationship between keywords used in research, were used. Keywords used in the research was extracted and analyzed by the VOSviewer software. The statistical population consisted of 25,029 articles, most of which included high-quality, high-impact articles. The results showed that the number of leadership articles from 2000 to 2018 has been increasing. Most of the articles were presented in the form of review articles and complete research articles. The most popular publications are those of the United States and the United Kingdom, respectively, and the universities of Coventry,

The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic necessitated that higher education institutions go online and utilize a HyFlex instruction model. The current study used a scientometric approach to evaluate the current status of HyFlex, as well as a visual analysis of the topic. Published research from 1989-2021 was retrieved from Web of Science (WoS) and the search generated 1453 results, which were analysed by title, year of publication, authors, country, journal, and research area. The data was processed using VOSviewer and Bibliometrix R software to visualize trends for HyFlex. The research identified document types, author collaborations, annual scientific production, most relevant journals, collaboration network between authors, institutions, country, cluster coupling of authors, documents and sources, thematic evolution, and co-occurrence of all keywords. The results indicated the topic gained interest in 2008, with the highest number of articles published in 2019-2020. The top collaborator and country with the highest volume of citations and published articles was the United States. Word clusters indicated the most repetitive words were students, education, performance, and knowledge. The visualization of data offers information on trends on the body of research as well as providing researchers an understanding of the topic.

This is a baseline study of researchers' awareness, access and use of locally published academic journals.

What problems do researchers encounter when accessing local journals? And what are the researchers' usage patterns of locally published journals? The study was conducted in five universities, which are:

JANUARY 2021 PRACTICAL NEUROLOGY 73 In the US, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act in 2009 stimulated the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) and promoted health information technology (HIT), including the secure exchange of electronic health information.1 The American Telemedicine Association (ATA) defines telemedicine as “the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient’s clinical health status.”2 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine across the US. Even prior to the pandemic, however, telestroke initiatives were leading the way in improving access to acute stroke triage and management in the US.3 Telestroke has quickly spread, with at least 56 networks in 27 states linking a stroke center with local hospitals in the US that lack around-the-clock stroke expertise.4 Similarly, the adoption of telecritical care (...

The research study revealed year wise distribution of publication productivity between 2003-2022, authorship patterns, forms of documents that had been reflected in the publications of data management in libraries, the leading journals and their impact factor in which data management publications in libraries were published and country wise productivity plus subject areas in which data management in library publications surfaced.

India is now one of the major knowledge producers in the world, ranking among the top five countries in total research output. The institutional setup for research and development (R&D) in the country comprises a diverse set, including universities, Government departments, research laboratories and private sector institutions. It may be noted that more than 45% share of India's gross expenditure on R&D comes from the Central Government. In this context, this article explores the quantum of research contribution of centrally funded institutions and institution systems in India. The volume, proportionate share and growth patterns of research publications from the major centrally funded institutions, organized in 16 groups, are analysed. These institutions account for 67.54% of the country's research output from 2001 to 2020. The research output of the centrally funded institutions in India has increased steadily since 2001, with a good value for compounded annual growth rate. This article presents noteworthy insights into the scientific research production of India that may be useful to policymakers, researchers and science practitioners. It presents a case for increased activity by the state governments and private sector to further the cause of sustainable and inclusive R&D in the country.

Application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is of paramount importance in modern-day libraries and information centres. ICT helps in capturing, processing, storing, and communicating information. No library can still rely only on traditional printed information resources to perform effectively and efficiently (Etebu, 2010). The present study investigated the various realms of research pursued focusing on ICT with respect to libraries and made an effort to map the research scientometrically with a special reference to India. ICT and library related SCOPUS records are elicited and analysed to make a review of the research pursued by professionals in the field. A steady growth in the number of publications in the area and an increasing trend is observed during the last ten years. Most of the studies are surveys in nature conducted in libraries attached to academic institutions. ICT and its implementation, usage, skills acquired by professionals, ICT development, accessibility, its impact on individual, institution, society, evaluation are the key areas discussed in most of the publication records. There are some research areas identified by the present study to be explored by researchers worldwide and Indian researchers. Special libraries and public libraries are to be focused as the users of the libraries are multifaceted. Library Philosophy and Practice is the most preferred journal for publishing research outputs from researchers in the field and Egypt and India have the maximum number of authorships in the published papers. The comparison of ICT research areas at global level and Indian scenario enabled to identify the gaps in research at both level so that those indents to take up new researches may choose the areas on complementary way.

Scientific activity has become increasingly complex in recent years. The need for international research collaboration has thus become a common pattern in science. In this current landscape, countries face the problem of maintaining their competitiveness while cooperating with other countries to achieve relevant research outputs. In this international context, publications from international collaborations tend to achieve greater scientific impact than those from domestic ones. To design policies that improve the competitiveness of countries and organizations, it thus becomes necessary to understand the factors and mechanisms that influence the benefits and impact of international research. In this regard, the aim of this study is to confirm whether the differences in impact between international and domestic collaborations are affected by their topics and structure. To perform this study, we examined the Library and Information Science category of the Web of Science database betwee...

The term "growth" means an increase in size, and the term "literature" denotes the subset of periodicals published on a given topic. In the context of science, the term 'growth' indicates an increase in the quantity of scientific literature and scientific output along with the number of the scientific community and research organisations. The growth dynamics study of literature is measured by scientific indicators like citation analysis and counting of publications. The concept of 'Obsolete' (aging or decay) denotes that the usage of literature is reduced over a period of time or is no longer in use on a certain topic. The process of

By applying advanced health information technology to the health care field, health informatization helps optimize health resource allocation, improve health care services, and realize universal health coverage. COVID-19 has tested the status quo of China's health informatization, revealing challenges to the health care system. This viewpoint evaluates the development, status quo, and practice of China's health informatization, especially during COVID-19, and makes recommendations to address the health informatization challenges. We collected, assessed, and evaluated data on the development of China's health informatization from five perspectives-health information infrastructure, information technology (IT) applications, financial and intellectual investment, health resource allocation, and standard system-and discussed the status quo of the internet plus health care service pattern during COVID-19. The main data sources included China's policy documents and national plans on health informatization, commercial and public welfare sources and websites, public reports, institutional reports, and academic papers. In particular, we extracted data from the 2019 National Health Informatization Survey released by the National Health Commission in China. We found that China developed its health information infrastructure and IT applications, made significant financial and intellectual informatization investments, and improved health resource allocations. Tested during COVID-19, China's current health informatization system, especially the internet plus health care system, has played a crucial role in monitoring and controlling the pandemic and allocating medical resources. However, an uneven distribution of health resources and insufficient financial and intellectual investment continue to challenge China's health informatization. China's rapid development of health informatization played a crucial role during COVID-19, providing a reference point for global pandemic prevention and control. To further promote health informatization, China's health informatization needs to strengthen top-level design, increase investment and training, upgrade the health infrastructure and IT applications, and improve internet plus health care services.
