“…Basu (2010) also observes a strong association between the number of indexed journals from a particular country and the total number of publications from that country. Other notable papers focusing on this issue include Rodrigues and Abadal (2014); Shelton, Foland, and Gorelskyy (2009) and Collazo-Reyes (2014). A challenge for further research is therefore to distinguish between changes in publication output of a particular spatial unit due to changes in academic production or changes in coverage of scientific journals with a spatial bias.…”
Previously, we proposed a research program to analyze spatial aspects of the science system which we called "spatial scientometrics" (Frenken, Hardeman, & Hoekman, 2009). The aim of this chapter is to systematically review recent (post-2008) contributions to spatial scientometrics on the basis of a standardized literature search. We focus our review on contributions addressing spatial aspects of scholarly impact, particularly, the spatial distribution of publication and citation impact, and the effect of spatial biases in collaboration and mobility on citation impact. We also discuss recent dedicated tools and methods for analysis and visualization of spatial scientometric data. We end with reflections about future research avenues.

“…The regional initiative may also be associated with the boom in open access publishing. Both Portuguese and Spanish (as well as Brazil and Spain) play important roles in open access publishing(Liu & Li, 2015;Rodrigues & Abadal, 2014). It should be noted that only indicating the data source is Web of Science or Web of Science core collection is insufficient.…”
Non‐English languages are widely used, but their roles in scholarly communication are relatively under‐explored. By using Web of Science's Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE, 1900–2015), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI, 1900–2015), and Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI, 1975–2015), this study probes the patterns and dynamics of non‐English papers by year, citation index, and discipline using bibliometric analysis. The analyses show that English is increasingly being used as the dominating language from natural sciences and social sciences to arts and humanities. Around 97% of the papers in SCIE, 95% of the papers in SSCI, and 73% of the papers in A&HCI during the past decade were in English. However, other languages such as German and French were also used as important academic languages in sciences and social sciences during the first half of the 20th century, 1970s, and 1980s. Unlike natural science and social science disciplines, non‐English papers have consistently played important role in arts and humanities disciplines from the beginning of 1975. Although the shares of non‐English papers in SCIE and SSCI databases have been limited during the past decade, a large number of non‐English papers can be found in some applied disciplines of sciences and social sciences.
“…Es decir, el modelo implementado no solo propone la apertura y gratuidad de los contenidos para los lectores, sino que un gran porcentaje de las revistas no cobran a los autores por los servicios editoriales de revisión, edición, publicación y distribución. Este modelo, denominado "publisher pays", en contraposición al "author pays" propuesto por modelos comerciales, ha sido señalado como característico de las revistas de América Latina (Rodrigues y Abadal, 2014a, 2014b. Respecto a la entidad editora, el 36% eran universidades públicas, el 56%, sociedades científicas o asociaciones profesionales y un 8% museos o centros asociados al CONICET.…”

ResumenEste trabajo analiza el modelo de acceso abierto implementado por las revistas científicas argentinas de circulación internacional, desde la teoría de los campos de Pierre Bourdieu. Para ello, se reconstruyó el conjunto de revistas científicas argentinas vigentes en abril de 2015, disponibles en Latindex Catálogo, el Núcleo Básico de Revistas Científicas Argentinas y en los servicios de indización DOAJ, Redalyc, Dialnet, SciELO Argentina, Scopus y Web of Science Core Collection y se aplicaron criterios elaborados ad hoc para establecer el subconjunto de revistas de acceso abierto y de circulación internacional. El modelo de acceso abierto implementado correspondía a la gradación más alta: apertura y gratuidad para los lectores, sin embargos temporales, sin cobro a los autores y sin retención de derechos de reproducción. Si bien el modelo es altamente inclusivo, la baja participación del campo económico en el entorno productivo científico-editorial se traduce en la falta de financiamiento de las revistas y en la exclusión del campo editorial. Cambiar el escenario actual requeriría no solo dependencias estatales que reconozcan la existencia del problema, sino grupos que se constituyan en actores sociales y que logren integrar e interpelar las diversas dimensiones del problema para poder disputar los recursos y las acciones políticas necesarias para abordarlo.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
