Data collected by social media platforms have been introduced as new sources for indicators to help measure the impact of scholarly research in ways that are complementary traditional citation analysis. generated from activities can be used reflect broad types impact. This article aims provide systematic evidence about how often Twitter is disseminate information journal articles biomedical sciences. The analysis based on 1.4 million documents covered both PubMed and Web Science published...

A set of 1.4 million biomedical papers was analyzed with regards to how often articles are mentioned on Twitter or saved by users Mendeley. While is a microblogging platform used general audience distribute information, Mendeley reference manager targeted at an academic user group organize scholarly literature. Both platforms as sources for so-called altmetrics measure new kind research impact. This analysis shows in far they differ and compare traditional citation impact metrics based large...

Traditionally, scholarly impact and visibility have been measured by counting publications citations in the literature. However, increasingly scholars are also visible on Web, establishing presences a growing variety of social ecosystems. But how wide established is this presence, do measures Web relate to their more traditional counterparts? To answer this, we sampled 57 presenters from 2010 Leiden STI Conference, gathering publication counts as well data presenters' "footprints." We found...

In this study, we explore the citedness of research data, its distribution over time and relation to availability a digital object identifier (DOI) in Thomson Reuters database Data Citation Index (DCI). We investigate if cited data "impacts" (social) web, reflected by altmetrics scores, there is any relationship between number citations sum scores from various social media platforms. Three tools are used collect namely PlumX, ImpactStory, Altmetric.com, corresponding results compared. found...

A potential motivation for scientists to deposit their scientific work as preprints is enhance its citation or social impact. In this study we assessed the and altmetric advantage of bioRxiv, a preprint server biological sciences. We retrieved metadata all bioRxiv deposited between November 2013 December 2017, matched them articles that were subsequently published in peer-reviewed journals. Citation data from Scopus Altmetric.com used compare online sharing behavior preprints, related...

The project LE-SIMPLE is an innovative attempt of building harmonized syntactic-semantic lexicons for twelve European languages, aimed at use in different Human Language Technology applications. SIMPLE provides a general design model the encoding large amount semantic information, spanning from ontological typing, to argument structure and terminology. thus framework resource development, where state-of-the-art results lexical semantics are coupled with needs Engineering applications...

Social media platforms are increasingly being used by governments to foster user interaction. Particularly in cities with enhanced ICT infrastructures (i.e., Informational World Cities) and high internet penetration rates, social valuable tools for reaching numbers of citizens. This empirical investigation 31 Cities will provide an overview services governmental purposes, their popularity among governments, usage intensity broadcasting information online.

Since 2013, the usage of preprints as a means sharing research in biology has rapidly grown, particular via preprint server bioRxiv. Recent studies have found that journal articles were previously posted to bioRxiv received higher number citations or mentions/shares on other online platforms compared same journals not posted. However, exact causal mechanism for this effect been established, and may part be related authors’ biases selection are chosen preprints. We aimed investigate by...

Informational Cities are the prototypical spaces of knowledge society. Public libraries play an important role as parts digital, smart, and creative infrastructures these Cities. Libraries have economic value location factors in two Cities, physical digital. For this reason, we divided library services into main groups, namely digital library. 31 specified World empirically analyzed core their public via content analysis libraries' Web pages. Additionally, studied social media activities....

This is the final report of European Commission's Expert Group on Altmetrics, which undertook its work over course 2016. The outlines a framework for next-generation metrics in context EC's Open Science agenda and includes series recommendations how responsible can be built into design evaluation EU's Ninth Framework Programme (FP9).

Because Twitter and other social media are increasingly used for analyses based on altmetrics, this research sought to understand what contexts, affordance use, activities influence the tweeting behavior of astrophysicists. Thus, presented study has been guided by three questions that consider astrophysicists’ (i.e., publishing frequency) their tweet construction use (i.e. hashtags, language, emotions) conversational connections they have Twitter. We found astrophysicists communicate with a...

In this case study, we aim to explore the characteristics and reception of files uploaded Zenodo role repository plays itself in generating usage. To end, first apply descriptive statistics on Zenodo's full set data record metadata with DOIs until including January 2017 (n=141,777 records). Second, estimate coverage datasets Data Citation Index (DCI) as well journal articles Science (SCI), Social (SSCI) Arts Humanities (A&HCI), books book chapters Book Index, conference papers Proceedings...

Abstract Data citations, or citations in reference lists to data, are increasingly seen as an important means trace data reuse and incentivize sharing. Although disciplinary differences citation practices have been well documented via scientometric approaches, we do not yet know how representative these within disciplines. Nor insight into researchers’ motivations for citing—or citing—data their academic work. Here, present the results of largest known survey (n = 2,492) explicitly...

Abstract In Web 2.0 services “prosumers” ‐ producers and consumers collaborate not only for the purpose of creating content, but to index these pieces information as well. Folksonomies permit actors describe documents with subject headings, “tags“, without regarding any rules. Apart from a lot benefits folksonomies have many shortcomings (e.g., lack precision). order solve some problems we propose interpreting tags natural language terms. Accordingly, can introduce methods NLP tags'...

In recent years, increased stakeholder pressure to transition research Open Access has led many journals converting, or 'flipping', from a closed access (CA) an open (OA) publishing model. Changing the model can influence decision of authors submit their papers journal, and article accessibility may citation behaviour. this paper we aimed understand how flipping journal OA influences journal's future publication volumes impact. We analysed two independent sets that had flipped model, one...

Purpose The recent proliferation of preprints could be a way for researchers worldwide to increase the availability and visibility their research findings. Against background rising publication costs caused by increasing prevalence article processing fees, search other ways publish results besides traditional journal may increase. This especially true lower-income countries. Design/methodology/approach Therefore, authors are interested in experiences attitudes towards posting using Global...

This paper analyzes the tweeting behavior of 37 astrophysicists on Twitter and compares their with publication citation impact to show whether they tweet research-related topics or not. Astrophysicists are selected compare tweets publications from Web Science. Different user groups identified based frequency. A moderate negative correlation (p=-0.390*) is found between number per day, while retweet rates do not correlate. The similarity abstracts very low (cos=0.081). User different such as...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify governmental social media use in cities with enhanced information and communications technology infrastructures (i.e. Informational World Cities) high Internet penetration rates. Social platforms are increasingly being used by governments foster user interaction it was investigated if valuable tools for reaching numbers citizens.
