Practical Implications

Purpose. The aim of this article is to acquire as much knowledge as possible on the changing impact factor of publications in “Folia Turistica” („FT”) in 1990-2016, the subjects of these works, the most frequently cited articles, and their authors. The aim is also to explore the works citing the articles in the periodical (including the time and countries in which they were written, their subjects, authors, and the sources of the publications). Method. The analysis was conducted from 4 February to 8 March 2019, using Google Scholar and the Scopus and Web of Science (Core Collection) databases. The data acquired was processed using statistical methods. Findings. The analyses found the numbers of citations of articles published in FT and the sum total of citations of published works in 1990-2016 in sources indexed in Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. This allowed us to establish the changing percentage of citations over the years and the average impact of articles published in various issues of the journal. Based on the data from the analyzed sources, an h-index was established for the journal, with the most frequently cited articles and their fields, as well as the most frequently cited authors of works of articles published in the relevant period. Data collected at Web of Science and Scopus allowed us to establish the number of references to articles published in „FT”, appearing in various years, titles, authors, sources, and fields, and the most often quoted publications published in „FT” and the countries with which these publications were affiliated. Research and conclusions limitations. The analysis concerns citations in Google Scholar and the Scopus and Web of Science (Core Collection) databases, accessed 8 March 2019 and limited to articles published in “Folia Turistica” in period 1990-2016. Practical implications. This analysis could be a source of information for defining the later publishing policies of “Folia Turistica” and a basis for future comparative analyses. Originality. This is the first analysis of citations of articles published in “Folia Turistica”. Type of work. This article presents the results of empirical studies.

У статті розглянуто основні наукометричні показники для оцінювання результативності досліджень наукових установ і закладів освіти та досліджено залежність місця наукових установ і закладів освіти у світових та вітчизняних рейтингах від показників наукометричних баз даних, адже нині наявність закладу в міжнародних рейтингах не лише популяризує заклад, а й надає можливість отримання підвищеного фінансування в цілому, і враховується в конкурсному оцінюванні під час державного або грантового фінансування університетської та академічної науки. Так, серед найзатребуваніших наукометричних показників означено загальну кількість публікацій та h-index (індекс цитувань) –дані, що отримуються з наукометричних баз даних Scopus, Web of Science або ж Google Scholar. Проаналізовано можливості вказаних наукометричних баз та сервісу Бібліометрика української науки (пошук та упорядкування науковців установи за h-index, розподіл учених/публікацій за галузями наук/роками/установами, рейтинг установ за кількістю вчених, h-index яких більше певного числа та ін.) для наукових установ і закладів освіти України загалом та вибірково. Визначено, що у Times Higher Education World University Rankings для визначення місця закладу/установи використовують показник «продуктивність дослідження» (кількість публікацій, опублікованих в академічних журналах, проіндексованих наукометричною базою даних Scopus на одного вченого, масштабовано відповідно до розміру закладу та унормовано за темою) складає 6% від загального внеску визначення позиції; та «цитування» (вплив дослідження) – 30%); у QS World University Rankings – «цитування» (середня кількість цитувань у наукометричній базі даних Scopus за 5 років на викладача, унормована згідно галузі) – 40 % внеску; у Transparent Ranking – цитування у наукометричній базі даних Google Scholar; у Ranking Web або Webometrics використовують дані, отримані Transparent Ranking (внесок наукометричних показників – 50 %); в українських рейтингах – Топ-200 Україна місце закладу визначається за показниками Scopus, у Консолідованому рейтингу вишів України значна частка залежить від h-index Scopus. Наведено дані щодо місць українських закладів вищої освіти в означених рейтингах. Зроблено висновок про необхідність виваженої, свідомої і відповідальної політики наукових установ та закладів освіти щодо даних у профілях працівників задля досягнення найвищих результатів.

The Subject

The Romanian university system includes periodical or conjunctural evaluations. In most cases, the tools are given by the unanimously recognized bibliographic databases (Scopus and Web of Science) or by the debatable ones (Google Scholar). The latter, which is also the most accessed in such cases, represents the subject of an analysis in which not only the information selection criteria are challenged, but also the means of calculating the h-index. As a case study, the author analyses his own scientific works, thus revealing great discrepancies between the numbers obtained through the services provided by Google Scholar and the real numbers that exceed the former by more than half. This fact indicates an obvious disadvantage for a scholar who is evaluated through the aforementioned tools in which the analysis of the citations plays a key role. Moreover, the present paper shall also discuss other minuses of the higher education system in which certain individuals’ or certain institutions’ hunt for academic visibility has generated a series of chicaneries. The most often used are those that seek interdisciplinary collectives, in which one’s professional participation is minimal, but the professional prestige is maximal.

Citation System

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the distribution of citations of nursing authors in Spanish in Google Scholar as well as to compare the possible differences between this source and Web of Science and Scopus. Method: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study based on the citation systems offered by Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus. Results: Nursing researchers present a verified mean h-index of 7.82 in Academic Google. 74% of researchers belong to the academic field, compared to 26%, who are in health services. Most of them live in Spain (83%), followed by Colombia (12%), Mexico (4%), and Chile (1%). In Spain, the community with the largest number of researchers is Andalusia (41.5%), followed by Valencia (14.6%), and Madrid (7.3%). Conclusion: The Google Scholar citation system requires adjustments in its algorithm for selecting works and citations, and it should also allow some system of confirmation by authors. Nursing can have relatively low h-index values compared to other courses due to short research development.

El objetivo de este estudio consiste en analizar los patrones de autoría y hábitos de publicación de los investigadores de España más productivos y/o citados. Método: Se han seleccionado los investigadores españoles o que trabajan en instituciones españolas, con mayor índice H y número de citas recibidas en Google Scholar (GS) a partir del Webometrics Ranking of World Universities. Los datos de las publicaciones se han obtenido de la colección principal de Web of Science (WOS). Resultados y conclusiones: La productividad e impacto de los investigadores en Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades es mucho menor en la base de datos WOS que en GS. Como autores hiperprolíficos destacan los investigadores en el campo de Física de Partículas, donde es habitual la publicación de 90 artículos al año firmados por más de 2000 autores. Los investigadores de Ciencias de la Salud también son altamente productivos y en multiautoría. This paper aims to analyze the authorship patterns and publication habits of the most productive and / or cited researchers in Spain. Method: Spanish researchers or those who work in Spanish institutions with the highest H index and number of citations received in Google Scholar (GS) have been selected from the Webometrics Ranking of World Universities. Publication data was obtained from the main Web of Science (WOS) collection. Results and conclusions: The productivity and impact of researchers in Social Sciences and Humanities is much less in the WOS database than in GS. As hyperprolific authors highlight researchers in the field of Particle Physics, where the publication of 90 articles per year signed by more than 2000 authors is common. To a lesser extent, Health Sciences researchers are also highly productive in multi-author.
