Week 6: Bibliometrics Results and Visualization

Hello!

This week I worked on the rest of the bibliometrics analysis for the articles published by those associated with DataONE which are currently in Library 1 in Zotero. I also did some frequency counts of the articles in library 1 and created an Impact Score based on citations and the altmetric score for each article. I had a bit of a set back with the organization of Library 1 and am working with my mentor to review it for accuracy. Therefore, the results in this post may change a bit in my final summary report but you can get the overall idea of the results that I discuss below. The programs I used to analyze the articles include the Bibliometrix package in R, Bibexcel, Excel, and VOSviewer. Currently, the VOSviewer bibliographic maps at the end are static images. If you have the tool they are interactive making the information more clear. My hope is to work with the folks at DataONE to host the interactive maps on their server so this element can be included. All data were extracted from Scopus and if not available in Scopus, then Web of Science.

DataONE Impact Score: Top 10 Articles

Using each article’s altmetrics score (see week 4’s post for more info) and total Cited By value (the total number of times the article was cited by other articles).

  • Data reuse and the open data citation advantage 59.8
  • Data sharing by scientists: Practices and perceptions 50.9
  • Altmetrics: Value all research products 39.9
  • Publishing frontiers: The library reboot 35.4
  • The current state of citizen science as a tool for ecological research and public engagement 29.1
  • Next Steps for Citizen Science 25.3
  • Challenges and Opportunities of Open Data in Ecology 24.5
  • Ten Simple Rules for Digital Data Storage 23.8
  • Big data and the future of ecology 22.4
  • Ten Simple Rules for Creating a Good Data Management Plan 21.2

Correlation

  • I ran a correlation to see if there was a relationship between the Altmetrics Score and the Cited By value. There is not a correlation between the two, indicating that a high Altmetrics score does not mean there will be a high/low Cited By amount and vice versa.
