Publications of CALIBER Convention 2009: Bibliometric Study
Abstract
The study analyzed CALIBER 2009 conference papers using bibliometric approaches like authorship pattern, the degree of collaboration, geographical distribution with regard to state-wise and country-wise, references per article, and forms of documents appeared in references of the conference papers as well as top-cited journals in references. The study covered 73 conference papers and concluded that prevalent single authorship patterns with the good degree of collaboration, Karnataka as the top contributing state in terms of authors and India as the top research contributing country, articles with more than 10 references per article, “Journal papers” are the prevalent form of documents used as references, and “Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology” is the highly cited journal in the study.
In recent years, bibliometrics has been widely used as a methodology for the analysis of scientific production, proving to be an excellent instrument for supporting scientific policy decisions. In this paper, we present a bibliometric analysis of the 12 editions of the Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON). Several indicators were used, namely number of submitted articles, the rate of accepted submissions, number of article citations, and the number of references per article, among other indicators. We also intend to add the comparison of the results obtained in the ten first editions held in-site and the last two editions, which have the particularity of having been carried out fully online, evaluating, by this way, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis to EDUCON. The results show an increase in the number of papers submitted and published over the years, evidencing a growing notoriety of the conference. The same growth tendency is visible regarding the number of authors involved in the conference. Regarding the impact of the online editions, data from the next edition is still required to establish better comparisons and conclusions.
