Evaluating the research domain and achievement for a productive researcher who published 114 sole-author articles

Abstract

Background: Team science research includes authors from various fields collaborating to publish their work on certain topics. Despite the numerous papers that discussed the ordering of author names and the contributions of authors to an article, no paper evaluated In addition, few researchers publish academic articles without co-author collaboration. Whether the bibliometric indexes (eg, h-/x-index) of sole-author researchers are higher than those of other types of multiple authors is required for comparison. We aimed to evaluate a productive author who published 114 sole-author articles with exceptional RA and RD in academics. Methods: By searching the PubMed database (Pubmed.com), we used the keyword of (Taiwan[affiliation]) from 2016 to 2017 and downloaded 29,356 articles. One physician (Dr. Tseng from the field of Internal Medicine) who published 12 articles as a single author was selected. His articles and citations were searched in PubMed. A comparison of various types of author ordering placements was conducted using sensitivity analysis to inspect whether this sole author earns the highest metrics in RA. Social network analysis (SNA), Gini coefficient (GC), pyramid plot, and the Kano diagram were applied to gather the following data for visualization: Results: We observed that Conclusions: The metrics on RA are high for the sole author studied. The author's RD can be denoted by the MeSH terms and measured by the GC. The author-weighted scheme is required for quantifying author credits in an article to evaluate the author's RA. Social network analysis incorporating the Kano diagrams provided insights into the relationships between actors (eg, coauthors, MeSH terms, or journals). The methods used in this study can be replicated to evaluate other productive studies on RA and RD in the future.

“…An author-made module was used for statistical analyses to produce forest plots online on Google Maps. The variance in continents was computed by T(tau) in Equation (22), which is commonly used for calculating the random effect (e.g., the pooled or nonpooled random effect in a subgroup meta-analysis). The Q statistics in Equations ( 19) and ( 23) are equal.…”

“…[21][22][23] Additionally, the IRAs [24][25][26][27][28] should be denoted by bibliometric indices(e.g., the h-index, [29] x-index, [30] g-index, [31] or hT-index [32,33] ), taking both publications and citations into account instead of the publications alone to represent the IRA (or contribution to academics), as in these studies. [18,27,34,35] Using the bibliometric indices (e.g., the hT-index) to represent the IRA on a single diagram for comparison among groups is required for development.…”
