Considerando os impactos e as complexidades existentes no contexto big data e observados na Organização do Conhecimento, tornam-se necessárias reflexões que destaquem as possíveis contribuições dessa área para o desenvolvimento informacional da sociedade. Tendo isso em vista, a presente pesquisa busca compreender o fenômeno big data e seus impactos na Organização do Conhecimento por meio de uma proposta classificatória da produção científica. Para tanto, foram coletados artigos relacionados aos temas big data e Organização do Conhecimento nas bases de dados Scopus, Web of Science, Library and Information Science Abstracts e Base de Dados Referencial de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação. Os artigos foram classificados por meio da leitura dos títulos, resumos, palavras-chave e textos dos artigos. Os resultados demonstram a predominância de um perfil mais aplicado, tecnológico e orientado a processos relacionados à coleta, curadoria e utilização de dados. Concluiu-se ser necessária a ampliação do número de pesquisas relacionadas às questões sociais, cognitivas, epistemológicas e metodológicas, bem como a elaboração de mais estudos voltados à ética neste intenso contexto de dados. Isso contribui para compreender e ampliar os cenários de pesquisa sobre big data na Organização do Conhecimento.

This article reviews 62 years (1957–2018) of research in library and information science in Pakistan. A comprehensive bibliometric study was conducted using the four leading databases (Web of Science, Scopus, Library and Information Science Abstracts, and Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts). The researchers found a positive upward trend. Library research is on the rise in Pakistan. The Department of Information Management at the University of the Punjab is the major contributor to the library and information science literature. Forty percent of the total publications were published in two Pakistani journals. Older and well-established institutions like the University of the Punjab and the University of Karachi have taken the lead in publishing research. The Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces require more focus and funding.

H Index

<p>As academia increasingly turns to bibliometric tools to assess research impact, the question of which indicator provides the best measure of research quality is highly debated. Much emphasis has been placed on the value of the h-index, a new bibliometric tool proposed in 2005 which has quickly found favour in the scientific community. One of the first applications of the h-index was carried out by Kelly and Jennions (2006), who found a number of variables could influence the h-index scores of ecologists and evolutionary biologists. To test these findings, this study calculated the h-index scores of New Zealand and Australian researchers teaching in the field of library and information science (LIS). Publication and citation counts were generated using the Web of Science (WoS), where a number of limitations with using the database to calculate h-index scores were identified. We then considered the effect that gender, country of residence, institutional affiliation, and scientific age had on the h-index scores of LIS researchers in New Zealand and Australia. The study found a positive relationship between scientific age and h-index scores, indicating that the length of a scientist's career should be considered when using the h-index. However, analysis also showed that gender, country of residence, and institutional affiliation had no influence on h-index scores.</p>

Practical Implications

This paper argues that big data can possess different characteristics, which affect its quality. Depending on its origin, data processing technologies, and methodologies used for data collection and scientific discoveries, big data can have biases, ambiguities, and inaccuracies which need to be identified and accounted for to reduce inference errors and improve the accuracy of generated insights. Big data veracity is now being recognized as a necessary property for its utilization, complementing the three previously established quality dimensions (volume, variety, and velocity), But there has been little discussion of the concept of veracity thus far. This paper provides a roadmap for theoretical and empirical definitions of veracity along with its practical implications. We explore veracity across three main dimensions: 1) objectivity/subjectivity, 2) truthfulness/deception, 3) credibility/implausibility – and propose to operationalize each of these dimensions with either existing computational tools or potential ones, relevant particularly to textual data analytics. We combine the measures of veracity dimensions into one composite index – the big data veracity index. This newly developed veracity index provides a useful way of assessing systematic variations in big data quality across datasets with textual information. The paper contributes to the big data research by categorizing the range of existing tools to measure the suggested dimensions, and to Library and Information Science (LIS) by proposing to account for heterogeneity of diverse big data, and to identify information quality dimensions important for each big data type.

Цель данной статьи - идентифицировать наиболее преобладающие тенденции исследования и публикации в сфере библиотековедения и информатики (Library and Information Science - LIS) на основе публикаций за последние пять лет. Исследование придерживается комплексной методологии. Во-первых, на базе использования результатов журнального ранжирования Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) за 2013-2017 гг. был определен массив подлежащих анализу журналов, а затем на основе условий базы данных Web of Science (WoS) отобраны их наиболее цитируемые статьи. В ходе отбора производился сравнительный анализ журналов по нескольким критериям, чтобы в итоге отобрать для последующего включения в выборку нашего исследования 632 статьи, опубликованные в период 2014 -2018 гг. Далее проводилось исследование: 1. наиболее часто встречающихся авторов, 2. наиболее часто цитируемых статей, 3. учреждений с наибольшей публикационной активностью, 4. самых распространенных тем на основе названий статей, ключевых слов (КС) и рефератов, а также 5. всевозможных взаимосвязей между 1 4. Результаты анализа представляют международный обзор и оценку ведущих исследовательских тем и наиболее известных представителей сферы LIS - все они непосредственно связаны с пониманием и деятельностью академических библиотек

Brics Countries

Purpose This paper aims to highlight the research output of library and information science of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) nations during the ten year period, i.e. 2005-2014, as reflected through the Web of Science database. Design/methodology/approach This study used Social Science Index (SSCI) of Web of Science (WoS) citation database to collect data for the ten year period. All records indexed in SSCI were refined by subject area of “Information Science and Library Science” and selected countries. The downloaded results were analyzed by using specific parameters. Findings WoS indexes different kinds of documents, such as articles, conference proceedings, biographical items, book reviews, corrections, editorial material, letters, reprints and reviews. Out of the BRICS output, almost 90 per cent of papers were articles. Other types of documents included conference papers, review papers and book reviews. China contributed nearly half of the documents followed by Brazil, South Africa, India and Russia. On an average, a document had cited 34 references. More than one-third of records did not receive any citations. It has been observed that the titles that had 11-16 words attracted the most number of citations. The top ten publishers in whose journals the researchers published included Emerald, Elsevier and Springer. The primary subject areas were information science and library science, information systems, interdisciplinary applications and management. About 85 per cent of the documents were published in English. Around 93 per cent of the non-English research publications were in Portuguese, the official language of Brazil. Originality/value There are not many studies on BRICS countries and that too about Library and Information Science (LIS) research output. This study may reveal insights into how LIS researchers interact with local and global issues in a specific spectrum of the world community.
