As the #ImpactFactor increases, #PeerReview reports get longer, especially discussing materials and methods. However, there are fewer reviewers from Asia, Africa, and South America in high-impact journals vs Europe and North America: the association may be driven by English fluency.

Anna Severin et al. conclude: "Differences were modest, and the Journal Impact Factor is therefore a bad predictor of the quality of peer review of an individual manuscript."

#Bibliometrics

Function for bibliographical coupling has improved.
Should handle larger files, and accept publication titles with breaking characters. Thanks to Veronica Espinoza for the report!
Try it there: https://nocodefunctions.com/bibliocoupling/bibliographic_coupling_tool.html

#bibliometrics

New free, click and point function:

create a network of scientific publications just from an Excel file storing their titles or DOIs.

The network is following the principles of "bibliographic coupling" and can be visualized online and exported to Gephi.

Feedback welcome! 🙏

The blog post with the link to the function and how to use it:

Great article on mapping trends and clusters of research in the sciences.

This article argues that "a simplistic reinterpretation of DORA" (but not DORA itself) is guilty of "bibliometric denialism".

Anyone know a citation graph with good coverage of Chinese-language journals in environmental health sciences/toxicology?

An English interface preferable but by no means is its absence a dealbreaker

@kdnyhan There are already a range of studies in #bibliometrics that use names to determine gender. Since the data is never perfect, I wonder whether we'd rather discuss the right thresholds and how we incorporate measurement errors in further calculations.

Programmatic prediction of gender, race, ethnicity of authors of scholarly papers based on their names: what do you think?

In which bibliographic databases can I search/filter by the institution of the *first* author?
- PubMed via API if I play around with XML a bit
- what else?

Hi #medlibs #datalibs #critlibs #dataviz #sketchnote #bibliometrics #NeedsAssessment #accessibility folks,
I have some professional development funds available to spend before the end of the month (ie, pay in June -- it's ok if the event happens later on). Any suggestions?
BTW I am COVID-aware and not interested in an in-person event unless the organizers put serious effort into minimizing risk.

To #preprint or not to #preprint? That is the question in today's @cwts seminar:

Journal performance beyond the #ImpactFactor. Cristina Huidiu at Elsevier (a former librarian) says responsible use of metrics - article metrics, journal metrics, & #altmetrics - can be business indicators to help publishers to make decisions.

Can get insights into impact beyond citations and trends in fields, from patents and funding.

Collaboration patterns of existing authors can show new directions of their work.
