Highly cited researchers are a category of researchers defined by scientometric rules relating to counts of citations to their scholarly articles. The designation often refers to researchers identified according to scientometric rules specified by the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) and its commercial affiliates; we denote these categorie...

The objective assessment of the prestige of an academic institution is a difficult and hotly
debated task. In the last few years, different types of university rankings have been pr...
World University rankings have become well-established tools that students, university managers and policy makers read and use. Each ranking claims to have a unique methodology capable of measuring the 'quality' of universities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze to which extent these different rankings measure the same phenomenon and what it...
La estrategia europea de especialización inteligente RIS3 postulaba la especialización del territorio. Dicha especialización debiera estar asociada con la producción científica. Distinguiendo dos períodos (2010-2016 y 2017-2023), este trabajo comprueba la idoneidad de la RIS3 definida por Andalucía con indicadores bibliométricos de su producción ci...

The list features 21 disciplinary categories under which HCR researchers are classified and a cross-field category that highlights individuals who publish papers with high citations in multiple di...
Altmetrics have led to new quantitative studies of science through social media interactions. However, there are no models of science communication that respond to the multiplicity of non-academic channels. Using the 3653 authors with the highest volume of altmetrics mentions from the main channels (Twitter, News, Facebook, Wikipedia, Blog, Policy...
Agricultural Sciences have become one of Brazil’s most efficient and sustainable research areas, where most publications benefit from scientific collaboration. The present study analyzes the influence of the designation as the corresponding author to researchers linked to Brazilian institutions on the impact of co-authored articles in the category...
A high level of citations is generally associated with the exceptional influence of an article. Authors of several highly cited articles are thus considered and scrutinized as influential members within their scientific discipline and beyond when their activity spans several disciplines. Identifying individuals who have made outstanding contributio...

In this study, we present an objective, replicable methodology to identify trendy journals in any consolidated discipline. Trendy journals are those most read by authors who are currently publishing within the scope of the discipline. Trendy journal lists differ from consolidated lists of top core journals; the latter are very stable over time, mai...

In Spain, faculty members' and researchers' activities are assessed for three main reasons: applying for university teacher and researcher positions, developing their academic careers, and calculating their individual remunerations. This assessment covers three dimensions of university activity: teaching, research, and knowledge transfer. Over the...
Purpose
In this paper, the authors use a new methodology, called paper affiliation index, to create finance journal ranking using expert judgment and research impact, both of which are based on secondary, objective measures, thus making it possible to produce lists every year without human manipulation at virtually no cost.

Journal ratings are a key factor when individuals or institutions assess research and select journals. Despite their significant development in recent years, ratings are still not sufficiently precise or updated enough, depending on the subject and method used. In this paper, we present a new methodology, called paper affiliation index, with which...
Scientific collaboration, a practice that traces its roots back to the birth of modern science, has spread through the research community, expanding the ties between institutions and countries and becoming a strategy to improve research productivity. Collaboration with countries of renowned scientific leadership thus constitutes a clear opportunity...
This paper analyzes the potential impact of reputational bias on academic classifications based upon current research performance measures. Empirical evidence supports the existence of a noticeable effect of reputational bias in the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), informally known as the Shanghai Ranking. Despite using reliable, obje...
Nowadays the data that is collected from the LMS (Learning Management System) is increasing every second. This large amount of data is collected to extract the behaviour of the students, as well as to learn first-hand which topics that they find most attractive or those that are more difficult for them. However, there is still almost 75% of actual...
Open education is a reality and day by day it is gaining more followers among the scientific community and all researchers. Several steps have already been taken to universalize the right to quality education, but they are not enough and this universalization must be extended to secondary education. The objective of the Open Education Resources (OE...

Questions
Question (1)
Lawrence Cram from The Australian National University and I (Domingo Docampo from University of Vigo) are conducting a study on the effects of institutional size on research performance indicators. So far we have been able to collect reliable data on yearly university expenditures and yearly graduation figures for universities in the following countries: Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, UK and US. Can anyone point to a reliable source information in other countries? We are very much interested in obtaining such kind of data for Canada, China, France, Japan, Korea, Netherlands and Switzerland. Thanks in advance.
