The basis for this are user studies with researchers from different disciplines in Germany, who were involved in an iterative software development process for the development of a scientometric visualisation in the ROSI project.

Scientific collaboration is an important part of conducting research. In this blog post, I would like to introduce my PhD topic as part of the Train2Wind ITN (Innovative Training Network) at the University of Copenhagen.

The Eigenfactor™ is a journal metric, which was developed by Bergstrom and his colleagues at the University of Washington. They invented the Eigenfactor as a response to the criticism against the use of simple citation counts. The Eigenfactor makes use of the network structure of citations, i.e. citations between journals, and establishes the importance, influence or impact of a journal based on i

Conferences are deeply connected to research fields, in this case bibliometrics. As such, they are a venue to present and discuss current and innovative research, and play an important role for the scholarly community. In this article, we provide an overview on the history of conferences in bibliometrics. We conduct an analysis to list the most prominent conferences that were announced in the news

This document is an edited version of the original funding proposal entitled 'ORKG: Facilitating the Transfer of Research Results with the Open Research Knowledge Graph' that was submitted to the European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept (PoC) Grant in September 2020 (https://erc.europa.eu/funding/proof-concept). The proposal was evaluated by five reviewers and has been placed after the eva

The language of scientific publications is a crucial factor when seeking to reach an international audience, because it affects linguistic accessibility and the geographical reach of research results. English is the language of science and the fact that it can be understood by most readers represents an undeniable advantage. Moreover, the fact that a large proportion of Ibero-American research has

The h-index is a mainstream bibliometric indicator, since it is widely used in academia, research management and research policy. While its advantages have been highlighted, such as its simple calculation, it has also received widespread criticism. The criticism is mainly based on the negative effects it may have on scholars, when the index is used to describe the quality of a scholar. The “h” mea

Beim 4. VIVO-Workshop 2019 an der Technischen Informationsbibliothek (TIB) wurde über das Open-Source-Forschungsinformationssystem VIVO und dessen Anwendung in verschiedenen Institutionen berichtet und diskutiert. Dabei wurden einerseits technische Lösungen vorgestellt, andererseits über Konzepte wie Profilhoheit diskutiert. Der Workshop beinhaltete eine interaktive Session, in der verschiedene ThAt the 4th VIVO Workshop 2019 at the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) the open source research information system VIVO and its implementation in various institutions was reported and discussed. On the one hand, technical solutions were presented and on the other hand, concepts such as profile sovereignty were discussed. The workshop included an interactive session in which v

Digital object identifiers (DOIs) are important metadata elements for indexing and interoperability, as well as for bibliometric studies in times of openness. This study analyses the use of DOIs in the cited references of articles by authors from Brazilian institutions, their possible influencing factors and differences among areas of knowledge. It measures the extent to which the citation dataset

This report from LIBER’s Innovative Metrics Working Group is for those based in libraries and information centres with an interest in altmetrics who would like to know how qualitative approaches could be used to study altmetrics sources. Qualitative measures could be of interest to scholars, librarians, information professionals, and providers of research metrics and altmetrics. The topic was a ke

The 3rd VIVO Workshop 2018 in Germany at the Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) focused on further education and exchange on concrete VIVO projects. Over the course of two days, almost 60 participants from Germany and abroad discussed technological developments and improvements of the VIVO research information system at several institutions. Nevertheless, general aspects, such as research rep

Altmetrics are tools for measuring the impact of research beyond scientific communities. In general, they measure online mentions of scholarly outputs, such as on online social networks, blogs, and news sites. Some stakeholders in higher education have championed altmetrics as a new way to understand research impact and as an alternative or supplement to bibliometrics. Contrastingly, others have c

The Finnish Education Evaluation Centre has conducted an audit of Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences and has awarded the university of applied sciences a quality label that is valid for six years from 14 April 2016. The quality management system of Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences fulfils the national criteria set for the quality management of higher education institutions, and corre

Smart cities and 3D printing technologies are attracting unprecedented attention with signs that they will be key drivers of societal and economic change. Yet, the connection in how 3D printing can enhance smart cities remains understudied. To this end, this paper argues that 3D printing has widespread applications across higher education and smart city settings through the opening and democratizi

In the following study (chapter 6), Human Resources Management, Internationalization and Academic Staff Mobility, Grischa Fraumann and Işıl Güney analyze the relationship between international mobility, academic staff development and human resources management. Giving some theoretical information about the role of HRM in academic staff development and academic mobility, the authors focus on intern

Over the past three decades, the development of 3D printing has accelerated rapidly. In considering theories about the economic impact of disruptive technologies, this paper addresses how 3D printing has attracted unprecedented attention from various public and private stakeholders with signs that it will be a major driver of the next economic wave. Outlining the major changes that 3D printing has

In 1974, Sweden won the Eurovision Song Contest with ABBA’s song Waterloo. ABBA is still one of the best-known names in Swedish pop, alongside others such as Max Martin and Avicii. The same year saw the birth of Swedish cultural policy as a coherent and distinct national policy area, explicitly supporting inhabitants’ access to culture beyond the commercial market. Sweden is still one of the prima

In this chapter, the authors take a soft-systems methodology (SSM) (Checkland & Poulter, 2006) approach to problematising the role of programme leadership and developing with the learning community far-reaching solutions for effective programme leadership at a UK University. An appreciative inquiry (Cooperrider, 2017) allowed programme leaders (PLs) to describe many aspects of the role they fe
