Evolução bibliométrica: uma análise dos trabalhos publicados nos eventos da AnPAD

Esta pesquisa investigou a produção de estudos bibliométricos publicados nos anais de todos os eventos da Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração (AnPAD), no período compreendido entre 2003 e 2019, os quais totalizaram 141 trabalhos examinados. Os resultados indicaram que embora tenha ocorrido um crescimento no número de estudos bibliométricos, este não foi linear e que há um equilíbrio no número de publicações que utilizou os estratos nacional e internacional como fonte base para os estudos bibliométricos investigados. Destaca-se o Encontro da ANPAD (EnANPAD) como o evento com o maior número de estudos bibliométricos publicados e como fonte de busca de dados para a elaboração dos estudos a Web of Science, os eventos realizados pela AnPAD e a Scopus. Observou-se também que os artigos são escritos na maioria das vezes por 2 ou 3 autores com ênfase para as instituições UNINOVE, USP e UNB. Ainda, os resultados evidenciaram o uso de ferramentas computacionais como por exemplo, Microsoft® Office Excel, SPSS, UCINET® e BibExcel. Sendo assim, a pesquisa possibilitou uma visão ampla da produção acadêmica nos principais eventos da área no Brasil com contribuições para o seu desenvolvimento, além de servir como guia para consulta de trabalhos deste campo específico.

The impact of author-selected keywords on citation counts

A number of bibliometric studies have shown that many factors impact citation counts besides the scientific quality. This paper used a large bibliometric dataset to investigate the impact of the different statistical properties of author-selected keywords and the network attributes of their co-occurrence networks on citation counts. Four statistical properties of author-selected keywords were considered: (i) Keyword growth (i.e., the relative increase or decrease in the presence statistics of an underlying keyword over a given period of time); (ii) Keyword diversity (i.e., the level of variety in a set of author-selected keywords); (iii) Number of keywords; and (iv) Percentage of new keywords. This study also considered network centrality which is a network attribute from the keyword co-occurrence network. Network centrality was calculated using the average of three basic network centrality measures: degree, closeness and betweenness centrality. A correlation and regression analysis showed that all of these factors had a significant positive relation with citation counts except the percentage of new keywords that had a significant negative relation. However, when the effect of four potential control variables (i.e., the number of article authors, the length of an article, the quality of the journal in which the article was published and the length of the title of an article) were controlled, only four variables related to author-selected keywords showed a significant relation with citation counts. Keyword growth, number of keywords and network centrality showed a positive relation with citation counts; whereas, the percentage of new keywords showed a negative relation with citation counts. The implications of these findings are discussed in this article.

Bibliometric study of Indian S&T publications as reflected in Indian Science Abstracts

There have been a number of bibliometric studies reporting Indian S&T output and analysis of various parameters in the past. The studies were mainly based on International databases viz. SCOPUS and Web of Science. The present study has been taken up using Indian Science s as the source. Various parameters such as Subjects, Institutions, States representing authors’ affiliation, & ‘Priority’ geographical areas for research work on local/regional issues, and Authorship pattern with Subjects distribution have been analysed. Interestingly, the findings reveal that the trend is almost the same with respect to the ‘Productivity’ as reported earlier despite the more coverage of entries as Indian papers in non-Indian journals compared to Indian journals. However, for complete and true picture of Indian S&T output, the publications of Indian authors in Indian as well as non-Indian journals are required to be counted together not only quantitatively but also qualitatively taking citation rates in to account. Suggests initiating certain steps to boost up the visibility and Impact Factor of Indian journals in all the subject fields. Concludes that by adopting the suggested Indian S&T information dissemination strategy, the recent upward trend of publications output and citation rate will be maintained and further strengthened.
