Quality Of Research

The ability of a researcher and quality of research publications are generally measured by the number of research publications and the number of citations they receive during a given observation period. There are a number of research indices commonly used to assess the ability and hence the quantity of research along with the quality of a research publication. Research indices are calculated based on either citation values of research publications of a research scholar or the number of research papers published by a research scholar for a given period. Apart from generally used citation indices like H-index, i10-index, G-index, and based on argument on why certain research publications do not attract citations initially for some years, it is found that the best method of identifying the contribution to research is calculating the annual research index for an author by considering the annual research publications. Recently, we have suggested some of the new research indices used for calculating research productivity of individuals as well as a team of people in an organization which include ARPIndex – (Annual Research Publication Index), RC-Index – (Research Continuation Index), RE-Index (Research Expansion Index), Project Productivity Index, and Cost Index. In this paper, we have made an attempt to study these five indices by using our own technique of qualitative analysis of a system or concept called ABCD analysis/listing.

Research indices are used to measure the ability of a researcher and quality of research publications for comparison of research contribution made in a given area/subject. Research indices generally use the number of research publications and the number of citations the papers published by an author during a given observation period. There are a number of research indices commonly used to assess the ability and hence the quantity of research along with the quality of a research publication. Research indices are calculated based on either citation values of research publications of a research scholar or the number of research papers published by a research scholar for a given period. Apart from generally used citation indices like H-index, i10-index, G-index, and based on argument on why certain research publications do not attract citations initially for some years, it is found that the best method of identifying the contribution to research is calculating the annual research index for an author by considering the annual research publications.

In this paper, we have analysed the affecting factors on these indices by considering four determinant issues which include research organization, researcher, funding agency, and industry using objectives, productivity, and cost as three key parameters. The various factors affecting these newly proposed research indices are discussed by considering their advantages, benefits, constraints, and disadvantages.

Quality Of Research

The number of citations that a paper has received is the most commonly used indicator to measure the quality of research. Researchers, journals, and universities want to receive more citations for their scholarly publications to increase their h-index, impact factor, and ranking respectively. In this paper, we tried to analyses the effect of the number of available Google Scholar versions of a paper on citations count. We analyzed 10,162 papers which are published in Scopus database in year 2010 by Malaysian top five universities. Then we developed a software to collect the number of citations and versions of each paper from Google Scholar automatically. The result of spearman correlation coefficient revealed that there is positive significant association between the number of Google Scholar versions of a paper and the number of times a paper has been cited.

Quality Of Research

Researchers create or improvise knowledge by innovating concepts, methods and/or interpretations. Scientific research and scientific writing seem to be inseparable in this modern world for professional existence. Publications are important to give a thrust and positive boost up in your career. Since last decade, research has taken a new horizon. Medical schools and universities frequently use the quantification of publication as the measure of a scholar’s academic competency. Publications are an essential and sometimes the sole criteria considered during recruitments. The numerical value of the published work is taking a leap step ahead of the quality of research.  Scholars, who do not have the aptitude of publishing frequently or who focus more on their clinical work and teaching activities to shape up the undergraduates’ and postgraduates’ future, may find themselves out of this professional race. Each individual faculty of the medical institutions is unique research scholar. There is an upcoming trend that unless they pen down their research, they will be undervalued in the academic workplace. This undue “Peer Pressure of Publishing or Perishing” is floating as the new “Catch Phrase” of the professional era.

Objectives: To date, the quantity and the quality of research publications conducted within the Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB) have not been assessed. In this review, we sought to assess the quantity and quality of research publications affiliated with the OMSB. Methods: We retrieved data systematically from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. We searched all publications published until December 2018. Results: A total of 133 published articles affiliated with the OMSB were retrieved. Half of the publications were original studies, and 30.8% were case reports or series. Reviews and editorials represented 6.8% and 8.3%, respectively. Among the original studies, 79.4% were cross sectionals and 50.0% were retrospective in nature. Among the prospective studies, 58.8% were questionnaire-based surveys. The impact factors of the journals ranged between 0.82 and 4.40, except for one journal with an impact factor of 15.10. Conclusions: The quantity and quality of the publications from the OMSB is still low. However, training and policy change in the residency curriculum is key to improve the status.

In academic societies, it is essential to measure the efficiency of the researchers, scientists, institutions, departments, and universities by using a standard method that depends on their publications and citations. This work is devoted to constructing a new index that can measure the quality of the publications of any source mentioned above. The main goal of this new index is to fix the shortcoming of the current indices, such as the well-known h-index. Thus, we assumed a new index that is very sensitive to any change in the total number of publications, the total number of citations, and citations of each publication. The new index is called HY-index, is more sensitive to any change in the publications or the citations. The suggested data of the two authors have been discussed with various situations by using HY-index. This index has been applied to the authors of the recent paper as a real study case by using their data from SCOPUS.

This examination to discover the pattern of research publications on tax evasion issues. This article aims to unveil and to map research trends in tax evasion issues. By using bibliometric approach, all research publications related to tax evasion issues in the online Scopus database were analyzed. The authorship, number of citations, journal sources, institutions, and countries, were examined. The result showed that the number publications in this area are still dominated by western countries (USA is the most influential country in research publication related to tax evasion issues). It is believed that research funding factors became one of the factors why the Western countries still dominate the number of publications nowadays. The results of this study also conclude that the issue of tax evasion are becoming more popular among academics within the area of the taxation. In addition, this study reveals that the development of research publications in this area is growing.
