“…Zeitlyn argues, for instance, that it is extremely unusual to produce an academic work with no references whatsoever, and that it can be considered "as a sign that the work has been written for a wider, popular audience rather than a scholarly one" (Zeitlyn, 2020;122). A large number of studies have consequently applied the presence/absence of references as an indicator of scholarliness (e.g., Al Qallaf, 2003;Iqbal et al, 2019;Lockett & Khawam (1989); Metz (1989); Mittermeyer & Houser (1979); Schrader (1985); Schrader & Beswick (1989); Stephenson (1993); Windsor & Windsor, 1973). Other studies have raised the cutoff point, and have instead adopted Price's (1970) argument that papers with less than 10 references are unscholarly ex cathedra pronouncements of innate knowledge (e.g., Peritz, 1981).…”

Defining the unscholarly publication: a bibliometric study of uncited and barely cited publications

Bibliometric studies often exclude documents with little or no scientific content. Yet, identifying and classifying the unscholarly publication is a complex matter, and misclassifications often occur. Reference-based classifications are frequently proposed and implemented in bibliometric studies. Unfortunately, with little support for the actual classifications. In search of valid separation of scholarly/unscholarly publications, this study explores the correlation between number of references and citations received. Data was drawn from Scopus, and two separate analyses were conducted. The first analysis focus on journal articles published in the year 2000 from each of the four major subject areas in Scopus: Health sciences, life sciences, physical sciences and social sciences. The second analysis focus on all journal articles published in either 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 or 2020. None of the analyses identified a natural cutoff point between scholarly and unscholarly publications. There is no significant point in the distribution that could more clearly distinguish scholarly from unscholarly publications than prior suggestions. In addition, the results of this study demonstrate how bibliometric analyses are impacted by defining scholarly publications on the number of references across different subject areas.

“…An abundance of studies have examined the published academic literature relating to LIS using various approaches, such as using bibliometrics to investigate the authorships (Patil, 2010;Sethi & Panda, 2012;Singh & Chander, 2014), citations (Jena et al, 2012), topics evolution (BuJlar, 1991;Schrader, 1985), types of publication, keywords frequency (Ali et al, 2015), research methods (Oyewusi, 2012), pagination pattern (Singh & Chander, 2014), geographic networks of research collaboration (Hu & Hu, 2018), and funds (Jiang, 2018). Koufogiannakis et al (2004) conducted a content analysis of LIS literature published in 2001 to determine the specialized fields and themes that appeared in the literature.…”

A comparative study on the development of academic librarianship research published in China and international journals from 2016 to 2020

This study investigates the top authors, the most frequent keywords in selected top Chinese and international journals in academic librarianship, and emergent themes by conducting network and cluster analysis. The results suggest that LIS researchers in mainland China were less active in publishing articles in international journals during the period examined. Chinese researchers focused more on reading promotion and new technology implementation in libraries, while international researchers discuss communications among diverse disciplines more. Drawing international subject librarians' practices could be an approach to transform Chinese academic libraries to cope with the library crisis by playing a role as a bridge among scholars from various disciplines.

“…Occupation is a factor considered in many authorship studies in the discipline of library and information sciences. Examples include studies by Olsgaard and Olsgaard (1980), Adamson and Zamora (1981), Schrader (1985), Buttlar (1991), Raptis (1992), Nisonger (1996), Lipetz (1999), andFennewald (2007). Researchers such as Nisonger (1996: 398) and Buttlar (1991: 39) have justified authorship studies as a way of documenting the sociological characteristics of the literature of a discipline.…”
