Labor advantages drive the greater productivity of faculty at elite universities.

Faculty at prestigious institutions dominate scientific discourse, producing a disproportionate share of all research publications. Environmental prestige can drive such epistemic disparity, but the mechanisms by which it causes increased faculty productivity remain unknown. Here, we combine employment, publication, and federal survey data for 78,802 tenure-track faculty at 262 PhD-granting institutions in the American university system to show through multiple lines of evidence that the greater availability of funded graduate and postdoctoral labor at more prestigious institutions drives the environmental effect of prestige on productivity. In particular, greater environmental prestige leads to larger faculty-led research groups, which drive higher faculty productivity, primarily in disciplines with group collaboration norms. In contrast, productivity does not increase substantially with prestige for faculty publications without group members or for group members themselves. The disproportionate scientific productivity of elite researchers can be largely explained by their substantial labor advantage rather than inherent differences in talent.

Striving for Open Access publishing at KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Open Access publishing (OA) has been promoted by public institutions and research communities in many countries for some years now. Various categories encompassing different types and practices of OA are precisely described in definitions that now seem to be well-established. OA status is now available as part of a publication's metadata in all major publication databases, while some data sources such as Unpaywall are specifically dedicated to this type of information. At KTH, we monitor and document the effects of this shifting landscape and of policies promoting OA by means of an annual OA report focused on scientific publications by our researchers. This allows us to observe potential effects of KTH policy changes and to identify areas that the KTH management or the KTH library could support or strengthen. To this end, we collect the OA status (open, closed) and OA type (gold, diamond, hybrid, green) from Unpaywall for several publication types (journal articles, conference proceedings, theses, book chapters) and aggregate these data both for KTH as a whole and for each of its five schools. We also identify the journals in which KTH researchers publish the most and calculate the OA proportion of KTH publications in these. Finally, we take a look at the evolution of publishing-related costs for KTH and KTH schools and relate them to changes in the university's publishing policy. Results show that the OA share of KTH peer-reviewed publications has been globally increasing since 2011, strongly so for theses and journal articles. This is mainly due to the increase of gold and hybrid OA, despite the fact that journals where KTH authors publish the most are still mainly subscription-based. The increase in OA share is less pronounced for conference proceedings but nonetheless steady. A diversity of publishing practices in different research areas is revealed by the different OA publishing patterns at the different KTH schools. An overall increase in Article Processing Charges (APC) can be observed, related to both the increase of the number of hybrid and gold OA publications and to the implementation of new transformative agreements with several publishers. We discuss the consequences of the current university policy and compare it to alternative policies supporting OA while limiting the increase of publishing costs. We also reflect upon the extent to which researchers can be guided towards better OA practices and the role a university library may play in the process. Considering the questions of sustainability in a foreseeable future and of equity in the scientific publishing landscape paramount, we strongly value input from various actors within open science communities in order to build a sound reference framework for OA-supporting policies.

Assessing Open Access Friendliness of National Institutes of Technology (NITs) A Data Carpentry Approach

This research study aims to measure the Open Access (OA) friendliness of National Institutes of Technology (NITs) of India that are listed in the overall category of NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework), 2021 by taking into consideration four important OA parameters – i) OA publication share; ii) OA licensing scenario; iii) citation impact of OA publications; and iv) altmetric scores of OA publications. It deals with 64,485 publications of the selected 11 NITs during the period from 2012 to 2021 (10 years), citations received by these publications (5,42,638 citations), and altmetric attention scores of the documents (5,213 publications) during the period under study. A data carpentry tool, namely OpenRefine, and open access bibliographic/citation data sources such as Unpaywall, Dimensions, and Altmetric.com have been deployed to accomplish this large-scale study for ranking NITs by their Open Access Friendliness (OAF). The OAF indicator, as applied in this study, is a distributed weightage based 100-point scale built on top of the aforesaid OA parameters. The ranking framework shows that Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat (est. in 1961) has achieved the top position with a score of 52.12 (out of 100), but in totality only 3 NITs (out of the selected 11 NITs) crossed the 50 per cent mark in the adapted OAF scale.

Multi-Layer Digital Validation of Candidate Service Appointment with Digital Signature and Bio-Metric Authentication Approach

Proposed work promotes a unique data security protocol for validating candidate’s service appointment. Process initiated with concealment of private share within the first segment of each region of the e-letter at commission’s server. This is governed by hash operations determining circular orientation of private share fragments and their hosted matrix intervals. Signed e-letter downloaded at the posted place is validated through same hash operations and public share. Candidate’s on spot taken fingerprint are concealed in two segments for each region of the eletter adopting similar hiding strategies. The copyright signature of posting place is similarly shielded on fourth segment of each region using hash operations. The certified e-letter is thoroughly validated at commission’s server and signatures stored justify authenticity of appointment and proper candidature at the posting place. The superior test results from wider angles establishes the efficacy of the proposed protocol over the existing approaches.

The quality of the web of science data: a longitudinal study on the completeness of authors-addresses links

The author-affiliation links are the essential elements used for multiple purposes, such as the disambiguation of authors, the attribution of credits of a publication and fractional counting, the analysis of scientific networks, etc. In this article we analyzed the author-affiliation link quality in the Web of Science (WoS) database between 2000 and 2021. We analyzed the link completeness for 32,676,914 scientific publications under different angles: WoS index, document type and the number of authors per publication. The analysis showed that the author-affiliation link begins to be well informed from 2008. The share of publications for which all addresses and all authors are linked is close to 100% from 2016. The results show a strong variability according to the WoS index, the document type and the number of authors per publication. AHCI is the index with the highest completeness rate, unlike the SCI. For the document type, these are the Conference proceedings where the completeness rate is better and/or can be completed. Regarding the number of authors, statistics show that the higher the number, the more addresses and unlinked authors there are finally, the analysis of a random sample of 100 publications showed that in more than 50% of the cases, the author-address links do not exist in the original publication, and the WoS reproduced only the available information provided by the editor.

Measuring the open access friendliness of the state universities in India through data carpentry

The present research aims to investigate the open access (OA) friendliness of the twenty-six (26) state universities that have been ranked in the National Institutional Ranking Framework’s (2021) ‘Overall Category’ (Rank Band 1: Top 100). The open-access ranking framework, as designed, is based on four major OA areas: i) proportion of OA publications by a given state university; ii) use of a license in sharing OA publications; iii) citations received by OA publications; and iv) popularity of OA publications in socio-academic web-space as indicated by altmetric attention scores.Ten years(2012–2021) primary publication data for the 26 state universities from Scopus was collected. We analyzed a total of 1,57,971 publications; 1,60,723 citations received by these publications; and altmetric attention scores received by 26,996 publications from these 26 state universities listed in the NIRF 2021 overall category. It applies an open-source data wrangling tool (OpenRefine) and a number of ODbL-based (Open Database License) data sources to gather the necessary data elements required for this large-scale study. The study finds that almost 98% of the state universities enlisted in the top 100 overall category passed the 50 marks on a 100-point scale, and the newly established state universities’ open access friendliness is greater than the older ones. The final open access friendliness ranking places King Georges Medical University at the top, with leading scores in areas I (share of OA publications) and III (OA citation share), while Panjab University has the highest value in Area II (use of license in OA publications) and Delhi Technological University has the highest value in Area IV (OA altmetric attention score).

PROBLEMS OF IMPLEMENTATION AND COVERAGE OF THE EUROPEAN GREEN COURSE IN THE MEDIA AND SOCIAL NETWORKS OF UKRAINE

As a result of a study of the Ukrainian media field, it was found that the total number of all publications in the database for the period from 01.01.2019 to 30.06.2021 is about 60 million materials. It was interesting to compare the percentage of publications on environmental issues with other topics in the media. For example, the topic of combating COVID-19 for the period 2020-2021 forms 31% of the information field of Ukraine, which far exceeds all other topics of resonance. For comparison, a study was also conducted on the subject of culture, in a broad sense. The results indicate that all publications for 2019-2021 related to the cultural component do not gain even 1% of the total media field of Ukraine. Despite the general increase in the number of publications in the media field of Ukraine, environmental issues are also growing, keeping their relevance. At the same time, the average frequency and number of publications on environmental issues and Green Deal for the entire period from 2019 to June 2021 are - 2.3% of the media field of the Ukrainian media. At the same time, the results of the assessment of the quality of coverage of the environmental component in the media indicate that the media field of "ecology" is, in most cases, reporting on the event, ecology or decision of public authorities. The media do not form an agenda, but follow the information drives, and also clearly demonstrate the use of the media as a tool for disseminating information, sometimes openly manipulative. In addition, the share of publications involving environmental professionals is too low, which certainly calls into question the reliability and depth of environmental information content in Ukraine during the study period.

Scientometric Analysis of Kazakhstani Universities’ Publication Activity

The article analyzes the publication activity of Kazakhstani universities. The aim of the study is to identify the main trends and factors influencing the increase in scientific productivity in universities. The study was carried out using the method of scientometric analysis of universities' data in the Scopus and Web of Science databases and InCites and SciVal electronic analytical tools. At the same time, both quantitative and qualitative indicators were “measured”, to the latter the authors attributed the citation of publications and journal quartiles. The level of international collaboration and the share of publications as the first author or corresponding author is also considered. Based on the data obtained, the ranking of organizations was carried out, the features of the publication activity of each of the groups, as well as the factors influencing the publication strategy of universities’ teaching staff, were identified. The positive results of the policy of increasing publication activity at universities, including participation in world academic rankings, include an increase in the number of publications, including in journals, of the first two quartiles (that is, the improvement of the quality), a high level of international collaboration, and an increase in the recognition of scientists and their contribution to research (citation and position of the author). At the same time, the problem of manipulating scientometric indicators to improve individual indicators and universities’ performance remains relevant. Higher education institutions can use the results of this study to develop publication strategies and adjust approaches to hiring faculty in terms of analyzing their publication activity. Key words: Publication activity, university, scientometric analysis, scientific productivity

University Board Connectivity, Finances, and Research Production, 1985–2015

Background/context:A growing body of evidence indicates that trustees link the boards of research universities to organizations in other fields. It is less clear whether these board characteristics indicate distinct university contexts with which particular activities would be associated.Research questions:We ask three questions. The first two are descriptive and focus attention on the changing characteristics of university boards: How do boards tie universities to other sectors of society? How has the composition of these ties changed over time? The third is inferential and attends to possible relationships between board characteristics and university activities over time: Are there relationships between board ties to external organizations and university activities?Research design:We answered our first two questions using descriptive analyses. We answered the third question using regression analyses, inclusive of fixed board-level effects, which estimated the within-unit association among board characteristics, control characteristics, and the dependent variables associated with activities of interest.Data collection and analysis:Our sample consisted of the 54 boards that oversaw members of the Association of American Universities. Data were compiled in 10-year increments between 1985 and 2015. Historical data on university boards were created using Standard and Poor’s Register of Corporations, Directors, and Executives and the Capital IQ Personal Intelligence database, both of which provided time-verified data about the affiliations of individual trustees at a given moment in time (e.g., 1985, 1995). We merged these data with information on university characteristics drawn from existing secondary data sources.Findings:Consistent with other analyses, sampled boards were increasingly connected to organizations in other fields over time. Connections grew especially rapidly between 1995 and 2015, with particularly notable growth in ties to the finance industry. In inferential analyses, the total number of ties to external organizations was associated with increases in total publications and with the share of publications in the biological sciences. Board characteristics were not associated with variation in other variables (e.g., endowment growth).Conclusions/recommendations:Our findings suggest that board characteristics are more likely to be associated with some university activities than others. It is less clear why this is the case. Our paper therefore lays important groundwork for future research on the ways in which individual trustees may directly coordinate, indirectly facilitate, or be selected because of their ties to particular external organizations.

Experiments in finance: A survey of historical trends

Experiments complement other methods in identifying causal relationships and measuring behavioral deviations from theoretical predictions. While the experimental method has long been central in many scientific disciplines, it was almost nonexistent in finance until the 1980s. To survey the development of experiments in finance, we compiled a comprehensive account of experimental studies published in the Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial Economics, Review of Financial Studies, Review of Finance, Journal of Quantitative and Financial Analysis, and Journal of Banking and Finance, and experimental finance studies published in the top 5 journals in economics. With this novel dataset, we identified historical trends in experimental finance. Since the first experiments were published in finance journals in the 1980s, especially in the last 20 years, the share of experimental publications in these journals has markedly increased. In this article, we report trends toward descriptive, individual decision, and field experiments.

Bibliometric analysis of finance and natural resources: past trend, current development, and future prospects.

The finance and natural resources revenue nexus play a critical role in an economy. The recent development and significant increase in academic literature regarding the resource-finance nexus are the primary motivations for conducting this study. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of 363 documents published between 1976 and 2021 collected from the Scopus database. The results have been demonstrated via graphs, tables, knowledge maps about the past trends, growth, and prospects using co-occurrence, co-authorship, and co-citation analysis via the VOSviewer tool. This study has identified prolific authors, journals, countries, academic institutions, and future pathways. The findings indicate that China has the highest share of publications (88, 24.2%), followed by Pakistan (58, 15.9%) and Turkey (37, 10.2%). The most productive academic institution is the Beijing Institute of Technology in China (13, 3.6%). This study proposes new avenues for further research concerning the resource-finance nexus, such as ecological footprint, sustainability, fiscal decentralization, green investment, energy prices, environmental quality, technological innovation, financial resource curse (especially the stock market resource curse), human capital, and renewable energy in policy development and sustainability towards the achievement of the SDGs.

Common Sharing or Public Sharing: A Study on the Choice Behavior of Urban Citizens in Public Travel

Public travel is an important support for urban citizens’ production and life. As a collective choice behavior, there are different action logics behind the common sharing travel and public sharing travel in China. It is beneficial to provide public travel services to citizens and improve the performance of urban governance by sorting out the different public travel types and their inner choice logics. A fuzzy set of qualitative, comparative analyses reveals that citizens’ choice of common sharing travel or public sharing travel consists of two paths, in which user size, rule attainment, convenience, and travel distance are important triggers. The government and enterprises should improve the combined supply of each factor to enhance citizens’ public travel experience, guide citizens’ public travel choice behavior, and help the development of a common sharing travel industry so as to promote the construction of green transportation, public transport cities, and smart cities.
