Alternative metrics or altmetrics are article level metrics that have been used to quantify the attention given to scholarly papers in online fora or social media. In a way it was sought to replace journal level metrics such as the Impact Factor and also to see if altmetric scores could predict highly cited papers. Early studies, done soon after al...

Scholarly articles are now increasingly being mentioned and discussed in social media platforms, sometimes even as pre- or post-print version uploads. Measures of social media mentions and coverage are now emerging as an alternative indicator of impact of scholarly articles. This article aims to explore how much scholarly research output from India...

Social media platforms have now emerged as an important medium for wider dissemination of research articles; with authors, readers and publishers creating different kinds of social media activity about the article. Some research studies have even shown that articles that get more social media attention may get higher visibility and citations. These...

Power laws are a characteristic distribution that are ubiquitous, in that they are found almost everywhere, in both natural as well as in man-made systems. They tend to emerge in large, connected and self-organizing systems, for example, scholarly publications. Citations to scientific papers have been found to follow a power law, i.e., the number o...

Purpose The main purpose of this study is to explore and validate the question “whether altmetric mentions can predict citations to scholarly articles”. The paper attempts to explore the nature and degree of correlation between altmetrics (from ResearchGate and three social media platforms) and citations.

Collaboration among scientists is always been a fascinating trend to study among researchers. From the level of the institution to national transformed into regional as international collaboration patterns have always the been centre of discussion. Though in the era of globalization and e-mode, collaboration tends to happen ubiquitously but that’s...

Articles from multiple research areas tend to use similar words as keywords and titles. On the other hand, selecting a publishing source can be problematic for authors in the initial stage of a scholarly study. So, context-based classification is important where the abstracts, keywords, and titles get similar attention. The aim of this study is to...

Purpose This paper aims to explore the impact of the data observation period on the computation of altmetric measures like velocity index (VI) and half-life. Furthermore, it also attempts to determine whether article-level computations are better than computations on the whole of the data for computing such measures. Design/methodology/approach Th...

In this article, we present the effect on GDP growth rate during key major pandemics in the twenty-first century. Ebola, cholera, and the most dangerous pandemic, Covid-19, are all fatal pandemics. It was said that Coronavirus started spreading from Wuhan, China. The virus then afflicted the entire human race worldwide. The major goal of this paper...

The effortless expansion of Internet access has eventually transformed the dissemination behavior towards E-Mode. Thus the usage of online or, more specifically, ‘Digital’ texts has expanded abruptly. ‘Bangla’, the seventh most spoken language globally, has no different nature. Communication in the Bangla language has also been exposed on the Inter...

Design/methodology/approach Using the Dimensions.ai database, 1734 articles were identified through search strategies which were published from 1987 to 2021....

Power Laws are a characteristic distribution found in both natural as well as in man-made systems. Previous studies have shown that citations to scientific articles follow a power law, i.e., the number of papers having a certain level of citation x are proportional to x raised to some negative power. However, the distributional character of altmetr...

The penetration of social and online platforms has opened a new substantial domain of Fake news dissemination in the current time. Also, this dynamic form of data opens up new dimensions for researchers to detect Fake news from the ocean of data. Therefore, Fake news detection has attracted both academia and industry indifferently as research or an...
