Bibliometric Indicators for Publishers
Data processing, indicators and interpretation
Here we describe the Bibliometric Indicators for Publishers Project, an initiative undertaken by
EC3Metrics SL for the analysis and development of indicators based on books and book
chapters. Its goal is to study and analyze the publication and citation patterns of books and
book chapters considering academic publishers as the unit of analysis. It aims at developing
new methodologies and indicators that can better capture and define the research impact of
publishers. It is an on-going project in which data sources and indicators are tested. We
consider academic publishers as an analogy of journals, focusing on them as the unit of
analysis. In this working paper we present the http://bipublishers website where all findings
derived from the project are displayed. We describe the data retrieval and normalization
process and we show the main results. A total 482,470 records have been retrieved and
processed, identifying 342 publishers from which 254 have been analyzed. Then six indicators
have been calculated for each publisher for four fields and 38 disciplines and displayed.

1. Introduction
Monographs and book chapters are key publication types in many fields of the Social Sciences
and Arts & Humanities. Their use as communication channels is also common in other
scientific fields, despite being journal articles their main publication type (Milojevic et al.,
2014). Until recently, bibliometricians have excluded them from their analyses mainly due to
the lack of bibliometric data sources containing monographs. As a consequence, publication
and citation patterns in monographs have not been as studied as in journals. There is
consensus on the fact that current bibliometric indicators do not apply as well in this context
as they do with journal articles. Also, the fact that they are more expanded in the Social
Sciences and the Arts & Humanities, emphasizes differences between these fields and the rest.
The 'Bibliometric Indicators for Publishers' project (hereafter BiP) is an initiative aimed at
developing new methodologies and indicators that can better capture and define the research
impact of books and book chapters. It is an on-going initiative in which data sources and
indicators are tested. We consider academic publishers as an analogy of journals, focusing on
them as the unit of analysis; an approach already suggested elsewhere (i.e., Giménez-Toledo &
Román-Román, 2009; Torres-Salinas & Moed, 2009). In this edition we include six indicators
for more than 100 publishers in four broad fields and 38 different disciplines. The data is based
on the Thomson Reuters' Book Citation Index.
The Book Citation Index (hereafter BKCI) was released in 2011 aiming to shred light on the
research performance of monographs. It filled a gap which was already noted by Garfield
(1996), creator of the original Science Citation Index. Since its launch, several studies have
been conducted describing and analyzing the strengths and caveats of this unique bibliometric
database (Gorraiz, Purnell & Glänzel, 2013; Leydesdorff & Felt, 2012; Torres-Salinas et al.,
2012;2013;2014a;2014b). These studies have reported strong limitations regarding its
coverage, concentration of publishers and language biases. The findings reported in these
studies should be taken into account when analyzing the results of this project.
Most analyses on citation and publication patterns have focused on specific disciplines
comparing between journals and monographs and emphasizing differences between these
disciplines. This project does not aim to rank publishers according to a given performance
indicator, but to develop different types of indicators that may capture different
characteristics of academic publishers. Here we offer a description of the results of the BiP
project.
This paper is structured as follows. Section 2 describes the functionalities and options
displayed in the web platform available at http://bipublishers.es. It also details its potential
interest and the targeted audience to which it could be of interest. Section 3 describes the
BKCI, the construction of fields and disciplines, the normalization process followed to identify
publishers, and a definition of the indicators provided. In Section 4 we offer a global overview
of the data analyzed. We display results for four fields (Science, Engineering & Technology,
Social Sciences and Humanities & Arts), by indicator and by publishers. Finally, we briefly
discuss the most important highlights in section 5. Aditionally, we have included Appendix A
Bipublishers

with detailed information on the aggregation of subject categories for the construction of each
field and discipline.
2. Web platform and target audience
All results derived from the BiP project are made available through its website at
http://bipublishers.es. Figure 1 shows a screenshot of the website. As observed four webpages
are accessible from the frontpage:
1) Home page. Includes a general description of the project along with the date of the latest
update of the web and a link to a working paper with the main highlights and strategic
maps for publishers by fields.
2) Indicators. Here the user may choose to consult the tables of indicators for publishers by
fields and disciplines or to visit the profile of a given publisher.
Figure 1. Screenshot of the BiP project website
3) Methodology. A submenu unfolds with two options: data and indicators or publications.
Data and indicators describes the methodology followed for the data retrieval and
normalization process and a definition of the indicators employed. It also gives access to
an xls file with the construction of fields and disciplines based on an aggregation of the
subject categories employed by the BKCI. The Publications section displays all the
research output of the BiP project team with regard to the use of monographs for
research evaluation purposes.

4) Team. Here we include all team members along with a brief bio for each of them and links
to their personal website, Twitter account and Google Scholar Citations profile.
We consider this project to be of the interest of the following parties:
Bibliometricians. Developing bibliometric indicators based on academic publishers
remains a major challenge to this research community, who have not been able to
properly adapt their research evaluation toolbox to the communication and recognition
patterns exerted by means of these publication types. This is an important flaw in fields
such as the Social Sciences and the Arts & Humanities, where they are key communication
channels for researchers.
Librarians. The results derived from this project may help them to decide on the
adequacy of the indicators as well as the different bibliometric database as an answer to
their users’ demands. Indeed, they often ignore the exact content and scope of the
databases they are offered to subscribe to, as well as the audience and regard publishers
have and how these may be pertinent to their patrons' demands.
Scientific publishers. This project analyzes publishers as its main unit of analysis. The
information thrown by the indicators displayed will allow publishers to have a fair image
of the relevance or role played by them as well as by their competitors in the different
fields and disciplines displayed.
Prospective authors. Learning which the main publishers in each discipline and field are is
of extreme usefulness in order to help them to decide which publisher can better capture
the interest of their target audience.
Evaluation agencies. Books and book chapters are currently disregarded or considered as
secondary by most evaluation agencies. The development of indicators that can rigorously
capture the impact of these publication types will serve to acknowledge the work of
scholars who choose these venues as their main communication channel.
3. Material and methods
In this section we provide detailed account of the BKCI. We indicate how fields and disciplines
were constructed along with the data normalization process followed with the publishers.
Finally, we define the indicators shown in this first edition.
3.1 Description of the Book Citation Index and construction of fields and disciplines
All results shown are based on the web version of the BKCI back in April 2014. The time period
covered is 2009-2013. For this period 482,470 records where retrieved, distributed in 14
different document types. As it occurs with the rest of Thomson Reuters' citation indexes, a
Bipublishers
Bibliometric Indicators for Publishers
www.bipublishers.es
Date: 05/11/2014
Version 1.2

record may have more than one document type. Among others it includes the types 'book' and
'book chapter'. Only records tagged as 'book' or 'book chapter' were included in the analysis.
Figure 2. Distribution of the Book Citation Index by document type. Time period 2009-2013.
Regarding the construction of fields, this was made through the aggregation of Web of Science
subject categories as presented in the BKCI. Unlike to what occurs with journals, books are
individually assigned to one or more categories, meaning that a single publisher may have (and
usually has) their output distributed among different categories. The aggregation of subject
categories for fields and disciplines is available in Appendix A.
3.2 Data processing and normalization of publishers
For each record we processed the bibliographic fields as shown in table 1. The field PU was
processed separately and normalized manually. We identified 342 different publishers
although 254 were finally processed.

Thomson Reuters provides a list of 499 publishers (http://wokinfo.com/mbl/publishers/),
however, many errors were detected in this list. For instance, in the case of Elsevier, the
following variants were found:
ACADEMIC PRESS LTD-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD
ELSEVIER
ELSEVIER ACADEMIC PRESS INC
ELSEVIER BUTTERWORTH-HEINEMANN
ELSEVIER NORTH HOLLAND
ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV

ELSEVIER SCIENCE PUBLISHERS BV BIOMEDICAL DIVISION
ELSEVIER SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO
ELSEVIER/NORTH-HOLLAND
JAI-ELSEVIER LTD
JAI-ELSEVIER SCI BV
JAI-ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC
NORTH HOLLAND, ELSEVIER SCIENCE PUBL BV
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD
To avoid this dispersion, an independent normalization process was conducted manually
checking also for further information regarding the publisher (i.e., website). In this process we
adopted as a criterion that if a publisher had been acquired by another one, then all its output
will be assigned to the latter one. Also, we assigned publisher types, differentiating between
two types: 1) commercial and academic publishers, and 2) university presses. The user may
filter according to publisher type in the results page at the website.

Next we show two examples of such normalization:
Example 1: Name variants assigned to Elsevier:
● ACADEMIC PRESS LTD-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD
● ELSEVIER
● ELSEVIER ACADEMIC PRESS INC
● ELSEVIER BUTTERWORTH-HEINEMANN
● ELSEVIER NORTH HOLLAND
● ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV

● ELSEVIER SCIENCE PUBLISHERS BV BIOMEDICAL DIVISION
● ELSEVIER SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO
● GULF PROFESSIONAL PUBL
● GULF PUBL CO
● JAI-ELSEVIER LTD
● MORGAN KAUFMANN PUB INC
● NORTH HOLLAND, ELSEVIER SCIENCE PUBL BV
● PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD
● PICKERING & CHATTO PUBLISHERS
Example 2: name variants assigned to Nottingham University Press
● NOTTINGHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
● NOTTINGHAM UNIV PRESS
Publishers are subjected to changes over time, probably more frequently than journal names.
In the profile of each publisher all name variants are shown in order to offer a more
transparent tool to the user.
Finally a threshold of minimum 5 books or 50 book chapters has been included in order to
maintain results stable. Only publishers which surpass such threshold are included in the final
tables.
3.3 Definition of indicators
In this first edition six indicators are provided. In table 2 we include a definition for each of
them. More indicators are expected to be included in future editions. The criteria followed for
selecting these indicators are to show different aspects of the bibliometric performance of
each publishers: output, impact and publisher profile (AI and ED).

Total number of citations
CIT
Total number of citations received by a given

Field normalized citation score
FNCS
Normalized citations received according to the
'Crown' indicator as defined by Moed et al. (1995).
It is interpreted as follows. A publisher with a FNCS
of 1 has the same impact as the average of the
whole population. Values above one mean that it
scores above the average, while values under one
underperform in comparison with the global
average.
PUBLISHER PROFILE
Activity index
AI
Distribution of books in a given field or discipline
according to the overall output of a given publisher
and in reference to the distribution of the whole
Book Citation Index. If the value equals one then,
the share of books as of the publisher is the same
as the world average. Higher than one means more
specialization in the given field.
Percentage of edited items
ED
Share of book chapters which belong to edited
books from the total number of book chapters
published by a given publisher in a certain field or
discipline in the last five years.
4. Results
4.1. General overview by fields
From the initial database, 375,655 books and book chapters were finally identified. In table 3
we show the number of records for both document types by fields and for the whole data set.
Social Sciences is the field with a higher number of records in overall (33.5%) and by document
type (35.7% books and 33.3% book chapters). Next is Science in overall (31.2%) and book
chapters (31.7%) and Humanities & Arts in books (29.3%). Engineering & Technology is
underrepresented for both document types never reaching 10% of the whole share.
Citations follow a different trend. Here, Science is the field with a higher number of citations
for all records (41.0%) and book chapters (56.1%), and it shows similar figures to Social

Sciences in regard with books (32% for Science vs. 33.6% for Social Sciences). Engineering &
Technology show the lowest values for books (12.7%) and for both document types (13.6%),
while Humanities & Arts have only 9.2% of all citations received by book chapters from the
whole share.

4.2. Analysis of the indicators by fields
Six indicators were calculated for each publisher by field as described in section 2.3. To
understand the relation between them and better interpret their meaning and differences by
field, we analyzed their correlation according to the Pearson Coefficient. Table 4 shows the
averages and standard deviation for each of the six indicators by field. These indicators use
publishers as the main unit of analysis.

Table 5 displays Pearson Coefficients between the six indicators for each of the four analyzed
fields. As observed, a similar trend is found in all fields. While there is a strong correlation
between number of books, number of book chapters and citations, there is almost no

Furthermore, we see that there are important differences between considering the raw
number of citations and applying a normalized citation score, emphasizing the importance of
considering non-size dependent indicators to measure the research impact of publications.
4.3. Main publishers by fields
From the 342 publishers identified, only 126 publishers surpassed the minimum publication
threshold described in section 3.2 in at least one of the four fields displayed and 113 made it to
at least one of the 38 disciplines. Figure 3 shows the number of publishers by field and table 6
does the same for disciplines.

Bibliometric Indicators for Publishers

When analyzing the whole output of publishers (books and book chapters), we observe that 20
publishers represent roughly 2/3 of the overall output for the analyzed time period (table 7). In
fact, between the three most productive (Springer, Palgrave MacMillan and Routledge) they
account for 35.4% of the whole share. Regarding the number of citations received, book
chapters show larger figures in general, however, the average number of citations is much
higher for books. In any case, the standard deviations are very high, signifying a skewed
distribution. Appendix B shows these indicators for all publishers.

Table 8 shows the top ten publishers with a higher number of monographs for each of the four
fields. We observe two publishers (Springer and Cambridge University Press) are present in the
top ten for all fields, three publishers are present in three fields, always with the exception of
Humanities & Arts or Engineering & Technology (Nova Science Publishers, Routledge and
Palgrave MacMillan). Then we observe two groups formed by four and three publishers which
are either present in Science and Engineering & Technology (Elsevier, Wiley-Blackwell, CRC
Press and MIT Press), or in Social Sciences and Humanities & Arts (Edward Elgar, Princeton

University Press and University of California Press). Finally, 9 publishers are only present in the
top ten of one of the four fields.

5. Concluding remarks
The BiP project attempts to address a well-known limitation of bibliometric studies, which is
the lack of reliable indicators for analyzing the research performance of monographs and book
chapters. An issue which affects especially research evaluation in the fields of Social Sciences
and Humanities & Arts. It focuses on the analysis of publishers following a similar analogy to
that adopted by Garfield (1972) when analyzing journals instead of articles themselves. The
data is retrieved from Thomson Reuters’ Book Citation Index, which has been reported to have
strong biases (Torres-Salinas et al., 2013; 2014a), something which should be kept in mind
when analyzing the results offered.

Such results are displayed througout six bibliometric indicators, three of them (number of
books, number of chapters and number of citations) correlate strongly with each other while
the other three show no correlation with the rest (field normalized citation score, activity
index and percentage of edited items). The list of publishers with a higher presence in the BKCI
is consistent with the results shown by Torres-Salinas and colleagues (2014a). Although there
is an increase in the number of publishers, still there is a high concentration of the main
scientific publishers which represent most of the BKCI.
All results of the BiP project are available at http://bipublishers.es. This project is a research
initiative of EC3Metrics SL.
