Acknowledging individuals in research articles is known to be a personal and private expression of appreciation compared to other types of acknowledgment, such as financial support. Early studies have demonstrated the significant relationship between acknowledgement, coauthor, and citation. Little did we know to what extent of these relationships a...

Purpose The effectiveness of rhetorical structure is essential to communicate key messages in research articles (RAs). The interdisciplinary nature of library and information science (LIS) has led to unclear patterns and practice of using rhetorical structures. Understanding how RAs are constructed in LIS to facilitate effective scholarly communica...

Research trends are the keys for researchers to decide their research agenda. However, only few works have tried to quantify how scholars follow the trends. This paper addresses this problem by proposing a novel measurement for quantifying how a scientific entity (paper or researcher) follows the hot topics in a research field. Specifically, the to...

This study investigates the scientific mobility of Chinese returnees. Based on an analysis of scientific affiliation data in the Web of Science between 2008 to 2019, the paper explores the distribution of Chinese returnees from temporal and regional perspectives. The results confirm that there is an increasing number of Chinese migrant researchers...

Reading habits are influenced by various aspects, such as personal characteristics, reading history and book characteristics. It remains uncertain that which factor determines reader's choice. In this primary work, we attempt to model the preferences based on readers’ demographical information to examine the impact factors on their reading habits....

The purpose of this study is to explore the gender distribution of researchers in the field of gender studies. We used bibliometrics methods on a dataset of gender studies from Web of Science between 2007 and 2019. The results show that unlike other fields in scientific communities, gender studies are dominated by female researchers. The majorities...

In this paper, we discuss how research methods are used in the Chinese library and information science (LIS) community, a fundamental question in the pursuit of a global overview of this interdisciplinary research domain. We used manual coding to identify research methods mentioned in 2,421 Chinese-language papers written by 53 prestigious Chinese...

As a scientific field, scientific mapping offers a set of standardized methods and tools which can be consistently adopted by researchers in different knowledge domains to answer their own research questions. This study examined the scientific articles that applied science mapping tools (SMT) to analyze scientific domains and the citations of these...

Professional academic writing skills can improve the validity of scholarly communication. Aiming to reveal the generational differences of academic writing patterns, by applying quantitative linguistic analysis to explore 53 information scientists in China and 2,328 papers of them, we found that (1) the writing pattern evolves smoothly, (2) sentenc...

Ontology fusion in knowledge bases has become less easy, due to the massive capacity involved in the process of semantic similarity calculation. Many similarity calculation methods have been developed, although they are hardly united. This article contributes a low-cost similarity calculation method for ontology fusion, based on the inspiration of...

This study quantitatively investigated whether the research performance of academic administrators (leaders) was affected by their administrative services. We examined the quantity of 111 professors’ publications and citations in the Web of Science including 90 deans and 21 university presidents, from 26 universities. To compare the effect on their...

Finding relevant publications is a common task. Typically, a researcher browses through a list of publications and traces additional relevant publications. When relevant publications are identified, the list may be expanded by the citation links of the relevant publications. The information needs of researchers may change as they go through such it...

This study quantitatively investigated whether the research performance of academic administrators (leaders) was affected by their administrative services. We sampled 111 academic administrators, including 90 department deans and 21 university presidents, from 26 universities. These leaders’ research performance was determined by the number of thei...

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether diffusion through social media can help to improve the international visibility of Chinese papers and thus increase their citation impact. After analysing 160,233 Chinese papers published in 2012, as well as the number of tweets and citations received, the results indicate that tweeted Chinese pap...

We attempt to improve users’ satisfaction with the effects of retrieval results and visual appearance by using users’ own information. Users’ feedback on digital platforms has been proven to be one type of user cognition. Through conducting a digital literature resource organization model based on user cognition, our proposal improves both the cont...

Chinese scholars both in China and overseas have played an important role in global scientific research. This paper focuses on the differences in research productivity and impact between Chinese scholars both in China and overseas. A total of 1190 Chinese scholars in China and 1983 Chinese scholars overseas were recognized out of 6306 papers in six...

Research funding has been seen as one of the most important resource in the reward system of science. And usage of publications denotes an interesting perspective of user behavior in scientific communication. This study aims to address the relationship between funding and Usage Count, which is a new metrics item established on the platform of Web o...

This study quantitatively investigated whether the research performance of academic administrators (leaders) was affected by their administrative services. We examined the quantity of 111 professors' publications and citations in the Web of Science including 90 deans and 21 university presidents, from 26 universities. To compare the effect on their...

The present study aims to investigate whether the research performance of academic administrators has been affected by their administrative services in a quantitative way. We sampled 116 academic administrators from 26 universities. Statistical methods were applied to compare the research performance of the sampled administrators before and after t...
