Comparative Study of Asean Countries Research Productivity in Library Science

Abstract

Library science is one of the fastest-growing fields of knowledge, especially in Southeast Asian countries. This study aims to determine library science publications in Southeast Asia with approaches, namely bibliometrics, social network analysis, almetrics, and linear regression test. This study's data were taken from the Scopus web to obtain bibliographic data from library science publications in ten countries published in 1960-2019. Bibliometrics analysis uses Microsoft Excel calculations, mapping/scientometrics uses Vos viewer and Gephi, while altmetrics analysis uses altmetric.com. Based on the bibliometric analysis, the results showed that the most productive country is Malaysia, with 287 articles. The most sponsored publication’s country is Malaysia, with 57 articles. International journals that are popular as destinations for publication of library science articles in Southeast Asia are the Malaysian Journal of Library and Information Science (MJLIS). The country that has the most impact factor for citation is Singapore, with 4.922 citations. The country with the highest level of collaboration is Malaysia, with a total collaboration of 243 articles. The research results are based on social network analysis that the country that has the highest influence is Malaysia with a degree centrality (DC) of 301, closeness centrality (CC) of 0.61, and between centrality (BC) 0.66. The results of the study are based on altmetrics analysis. The country with the most shares/mentions on social media is Singapore, with 5.223 shares/mentions, the second is Malaysia 1467 shares/mentions. Meanwhile, based on the linear regression test that there is an influence between social media and citation, it is indicated by the Sig value of 0.001. Meanwhile, the large correlation between social media and citations was 97.8%.

Growth in chikungunya virus-related research in ASEAN and South Asian countries from 1967 to 2022 following disease emergence: a bibliometric and graphical analysis

“…The institutions from ASEAN and South Asian countries with the highest productivity in the field of chikungunya from 1967 to 2022 were also listed, highlighting the prominent contributions of India, Singapore, and Thailand (Table 4). [113][114][115][116], the current study also highlighted the prominent contributions of India, Thailand, and Singapore in scientific research. Recently, consecutive chikungunya epidemics have occurred in developing countries [60,63,86,87,89,111,112,[117][118][119][120], which may also explain the increasing number of ASEAN and South Asian countries participating in chikungunya-related studies.…”

Analisis Produktivitas Penelitian Pendidikan di Negara Berkembang: Perbandingan antara Negara di Asia Tenggara

“…Pada bidang penelitian Pengajaran Bahasa Inggris, negara-negara Asia Tenggara telah menghasilkan hampir 2% dari semua artikel yang diterbitkan dalam studi bahasa dan linguistik dan sekitar 1% dari keseluruhan kutipan di seluruh dunia (Ngoc & Barrot, 2022). Dalam bidang ilmu perpustakaan, Malaysia merupakan negara yang paling produktif dengan 287 artikel, diikuti oleh Singapura dengan 4.922 kutipan (Ibrahim et al, 2021). Di bidang penelitian tumor otak primer, ditemukan korelasi positif antara persentase PDB untuk penelitian dan pengembangan (R&D) dengan total publikasi (Mondia et al, 2020).…”

Comparative Study of ASEAN Research Productivity

“…Erfanmanesh et al (2013) conducted a study on research productivity with a focus on research in the top 10 Asian countries. At the ASEAN level, several similar studies have focused on particular subjects such as energy and fuel (Sombatsompop et al, 2011), education and psychology (Guido & Orleans, 2020; Vinluan, 2012), library science (Ibrahim et al, 2021; Ramos-Eclevia et al, 2018), and the economy (Kumar et al, 2014). Upadhyaya and Rajasekharan Pillai (2019) conducted research productivity in the BRICS country.…”
