“…[154] MyRA is an assessment that involves a number of institutions and measures their research, development and innovation (R & D & I) and contradict with SETARA, MyRA is leaning towards mixed approach whereby bibliometric analysis combined with peer review assessment. [154,155] Combination of both assessment has an advantages and disadvantages [156,157] Here an important question and argument arises that we need to take seriously. Is it possible for Malaysia to have an institutional ranking that really emphasize on publication -Bibliometrics as one of the focus point, and not totally depending on the peer reviews.…”

Aim: This study is to understand and analyze the publication productivity as one of the important scientometric indicators of HEI's performance in Malaysia for duration time of 20 years. Method: This study conducted the scientometric analysis of the research productivity performance of Malaysia's researchers from June 1995 to June 2015 using Scopus database. All type' field in the search box where chosen and the chosen keyword is 'Malaysia'. All related papers are extracted, retrieved and compiled into the personal database in Microsoft Excel. Pre-processing task such as data cleaning were done and with total of 290 093 publications records was identified. These publications records included all type of documents such as articles, conference, review paper, book chapter and books. Result: The remarkably numbers of publication growth from 1995 to 2015. There are huge development of research happens in these 20 years in Malaysia with only 1,610 publication in 1995 increased to 180,797 publication in 2015. Subject area of pure science dominated the percentage of publication such as engineering with 15% from total and the small percentage with total of 5% comes from pure science as well which are physic and astronomy. Conclusion: The increase in publication productivity is a sign of good R&D that is actively happened in this country. This has a positive impact towards Malaysia as well as the related institutions in order to introduce and stamp their name to the world. Therefore, the numbers of collaboration with others countries especially with European countries and America is worth to emphasize. Nonetheless, we understand that there are numbers of factors that associated in producing the publication that can be barriers to the authors such as personal factors, environment factors and behavioral factors.

“…While many bibliometric studies have been carried out in disciplines dealing with spatial data including remote sensing [35,36], GIS [37] and GISciences in general [38] the issues of spatial data quality and uncertainty have been broadly summarised only during a panel discussion that took place at the Sixth International Symposium on Spatial Data Quality (ISSDQ), held in Canada, in July 2009 [18].…”

Using the literature review and quantitative analysis, the research on the quality and uncertainty of spatial data have been compared and analysed according to years of publication, authors, document types, WoS categories, and countries. The paper portrayed the development in the field, studied the state and evolution of the most productive and influential journals, conferences, and research institutions. The results showed that remote sensing, computer science, and geography relate mostly to data imperfection and assessment of its uncertainty. This relation is clearly translated into the most productive journals, and conferences proceedings. The top-ranked countries in this field are United States, China, and the United Kingdom.

“…It contains the indexes of the Science Citation Index Expended (SCIE) as well as the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). The most influential journals in the GIS field are included in these indices, e.g., International Journal of Geographical Information Science (IJGIS), Transactions in GIS (TGIS), and Computers and Geosciences [24]. Since important ideas often emerge in conference papers, we also collected the indices including the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI-S), Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Social Science and Humanities (CPCI-SSH) and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) of WoS.…”

With the wide use of web technologies, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and cloud computing, more and more geographical information systems are served as GIServices. Under such circumstance, quality of geographic information services (QoGIS) has emerged as an important research topic of geoinformatics. However, it is not easy to understand the field since QoGIS has no formal standards, which is not only in regard to server-side performance and capabilities, but is also related with the quality of experience (QoE) during user interaction with GIServices. In this paper, we compare quality of service (QoS) and QoGIS research to understand the uniqueness of QoGIS. A conceptual framework is proposed to organize and interpret QoGIS research from the perspective of quality modeling, acquisition, and application, and we discuss the status, limitations, and future directions of this area. Overall, our analysis shows that new quality metrics will evolve from existing metrics to match the needs in concrete QoGIS applications, and user preferences need to be considered in quality modeling for GIServices. We discuss three approaches for the provision of QoGIS information and find that user feedback mining is an important supplementary source of quality information. Gaps between QoS and QoGIS research suggest that the GIService performance enhancement must not only consider the unique features of spatial data models and algorithms, but also system architecture, deployment, and user spatiotemporal access behaviors. Advanced service selection algorithms must be introduced to tackle the quality optimization problems of geoprocessing workflow planning. Moreover, a QoGIS-aware GIServices framework must be established to facilitate and ensure GISerivce discovery and interaction. We believe this bibliographic review provides a helpful guide for GIS researchers.
