“…The scope of the review is limited by the coverage of Scopus, which has been criticized for its overrepresentation of English language journals and its underrepresentation of journals from the Global South (Borrego et al, 2023). This gap is important since the issue of APCs especially affects scholars based in countries with less access to research funds.…”

Some open access (OA) publishers charge authors fees to make their articles freely available online. This paper reviews literature on article processing charges (APCs) that has been published since 2000. Despite praise for diamond OA journals, which charge no fees, most OA articles are published by commercial publishers that charge APCs. Publishers fix APCs depending on the reputation assigned to journals by peers. Evidence shows a relationship between high impact metrics and higher, faster rising APCs.Authors express reluctance about APCs, although this varies by discipline depending on previous experience of paying publication fees and the availability of research grants to cover them. Authors rely on a mix of research grants, library funds and personal assets to pay the charges. Two major concerns have been raised in relation to APCs: the inability of poorly funded authors to publish research and their impact on journal quality. Waivers have not solved the first issue. Research shows little extension of waiver use, unintended side effects on co-author networks and concerns regarding criteria to qualify for them. Bibliometric studies concur that journals that charge APCs have a similar citation impact to journals that rely on other income sources.

“…Since, for example, when registering DOI identifiers, which are the main source of obtaining new metadata into the database, the column "List of sources" is not required to be filled out. According to a study by Angel Borrego et al, Crossref indexes more sources than Scopus and includes additional journals from Eastern and Southern Europe (in the authors' study area), but only half of the journals actually list sources [1].…”

The article analyzes the current state of research in the field of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), namely, the degree of relevance and demand for scientific articles on the ESG agenda among scientists - economists, ecologists, managers and sociologists and the scientific community as a whole. The goals are achieved by assessing the citation and thematic diversity of a field of knowledge, as well as identifying factors that influence the success of publications in this field. The work used methods of scientometric and bibliometric analysis of metadata of 3633 documents from the Crossref platform and 7512 documents from the Google Scholar platform for 2000-2023. The study showed that despite a moderate increase in publication activity, the demand for the ESG field remains insignificant. Multidisciplinary and review studies that systematize the literature rather than add to it and analyze new aspects of ESG are highly cited. The findings highlight the need for innovation and new approaches that can capture the attention of the scientific community and provide new impetus for the development of this important field. The ESG field requires active development and renewal in order to address current issues in the field of sustainability and corporate responsibility effectively.

“…The most popular citation databases, such as Web of Science (WoS) or Scopus, which are usually exploited as more reliable data sources for bibliometric analysis, are characterized by poorer coverage of Humanities. Therefore, they cannot be used to obtain representative data samples for comprehensive evaluations of this field (Archambault et al, 2006;Borrego et al, 2023;Kulczycki et al, 2020;Mongeon and Paul-Hus, 2016). As a result, the bibliometric community rightly treats the use of quantitative assessment methods in the humanities with great caution (Hug and Ochsner, 2014;Ochsner et al, 2017;Pedersen et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThis article presents the results of a quantitative analysis of Ukrainian arts and humanities (A&H) research from 2012 to 2021, as observed in Scopus. The overall publication activity and the relative share of A&H publications in relation to Ukraine's total research output, comparing them with other countries. The study analyzes the diversity and total number of sources, as well as the geographic distribution of authors and citing authors, to provide insights into the internationalization level of Ukrainian A&H research. Additionally, the topical spectrum and language usage are considered to complete the overall picture.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses the Scopus database as the primary data source for analyzing the general bibliometric characteristics of Ukrainian A&H research. All document types, except Erratum, were considered. A language filter was applied to compare the bibliometric characteristics of English versus non-English publications. In addition to directly imported data from Scopus, the study employs the ready-to-use SciVal tools to operate with A&H subcategories and calculate additional bibliometric characteristics, such as Citations per Publication (CPP), Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) and journal quartiles. Information on the country of journal publishers and details on delisted journals from Scopus were obtained from the official Source Title List available on the Elsevier website and the SCImago Journal and Country Rank Portal.FindingsAccording to the results obtained, the publication patterns for Ukrainian A&H research exhibit dynamics comparable to those of other countries, with a gradual increase in the total number of papers and sources. However, the citedness is lower than expected, and the share of publications in top-quartile sources is lower for 2020–2021 period compared to the previous years. The impact of internationally collaborative papers, especially those in English, is higher. Nevertheless, over half of all works remain uncited, probably due to the limited readership of the journals selected for publication.Originality/valueThis study provides original insights into the bibliometric characteristics of Ukrainian A&H publications between 2012 and 2021, as assessed using the Scopus database. The authors’ findings reveal that Ukraine's A&H publications have higher visibility than some Asian countries with similar population sizes. However, in comparison to other countries of similar size, Ukraine's research output is smaller. The authors also discovered that cultural and historical similarities with neighboring countries play a more significant role in publication activity than population size. This study highlights the low integration of Ukrainian A&H research into the global academic community, evident through a decline in papers published in influential journals and poor citedness. These findings underscore the importance for authors to prioritize disseminating research in influential journals, rather than solely focusing on indexing in particular databases.
