“…La bibliometría es una ciencia que aplica métodos matemáticos y estadísticos para el estudio de datos cuantitativos de publicaciones científicas, revistas y citas con el objetivo de evaluar el impacto de la investigación y el mapeado de campos científicos 5,6 . Para cumplir con su objetivo más conocido, medir el impacto de la investigación, utiliza indicadores cuantitativos.…”

“…El segundo objetivo de la bibliometría es el mapeado de la ciencia, que permite conocer los límites y la evolución interna de un campo, a través de la identificación de patrones ocultos en la enorme cantidad de conocimiento científico publicado. Las técnicas de análisis de co-citación y co-palabras son ejemplos de metodologías seguidas para poder entender la red gigante de piezas piezas interrelacionadas que conecta publicaciones a través de citas, referencias y conceptos comunes 6 . Los análisis de co-palabras analizan parte de los textos de los artículos y extraen las palabras más significativas, que luego son clasificadas y representadas en mapas bibliométricos a través de diferentes tipos de software.…”

“…Los mapas de la ciencia permiten localizar a los principales actores y generadores de la misma (países, instituciones, personas). Son representaciones específicas de actividades científicas que aportan información de carácter estratégico y cognitivo, por las propias actividades representadas y por posibilitar el análisis de su evolución temporal 6 . De esta manera es posible dar respuesta a cuestiones como cuáles son los temas más relevantes en el campo de la fisioterapia y cómo cambian en el tiempo.…”

“…These indicators are the most known and commonly used indicators for the assessment of the contributions scholars make in their research publications to the advancement of scholarly knowledge [ 70 ]. Bibliometrics and quantitative studies of science are heavily related to these indicators [ 71 ]. The data on

come from Elsevier Bibliometric Research Project (EBRP).…”

Network models provide a general representation of inter-connected system dynamics. This ability to connect systems has led to a proliferation of network models for economic productivity analysis, primarily estimated non-parametrically using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). While network DEA models can be used to measure system performance, they lack a statistical framework for inference, due in part to the complex structure of network processes. We fill this gap by developing a general framework to infer the network structure in a Bayesian sense, in order to better understand the underlying relationships driving system performance. Our approach draws on recent advances in information science, machine learning and statistical inference from the physics of complex systems to estimate unobserved network linkages. To illustrate, we apply our framework to analyze the production of knowledge, via own and cross-disciplinary research, for a world-country panel of bibliometric data. We find significant interactions between related disciplinary research output, both in terms of quantity and quality. In the context of research productivity, our results on cross-disciplinary linkages could be used to better target research funding across disciplines and institutions. More generally, our framework for inferring the underlying network production technology could be applied to both public and private settings which entail spillovers, including intra- and inter-firm managerial decisions and public agency coordination. This framework also provides a systematic approach to model selection when the underlying network structure is unknown.

“…On the basis of this norm in science to cite the relevant past literature, citations have been established as a proxy for scientific quality-measuring science "impact" as an important component of quality (Aksnes, Langfeldt, & Wouters, 2019). Narin (1976) proposed the term evaluative bibliometrics for methods using citation-based metrics for measuring cognitive influence (Moed, 2017;van Raan, 2019). Bornmann and Marewski (2019) introduced the bibliometricsbased heuristics (BBHs) concept concretizing the evaluative use of bibliometrics: "BBHs characterize decision strategies in research evaluations based on bibliometrics data (publications and citations).…”

How can citation impact in bibliometrics be normalized? A new approach combining citing-side normalization and citation percentiles

Since the 1980s, many different methods have been proposed to field-normalize citations. In this study, an approach is introduced that combines two previously introduced methods: citing-side normalization and citation percentiles. The advantage of combining two methods is that their advantages can be integrated in one solution. Based on citing-side normalization, each citation is field weighted and, therefore, contextualized in its field. The most important advantage of citing-side normalization is that it is not necessary to work with a specific field categorization scheme for the normalization procedure. The disadvantages of citing-side normalization – the calculation is complex and the numbers are elusive – can be compensated by calculating percentiles based on weighted citations that result from citing-side normalization. On the one hand, percentiles are easy to understand: they are the percentage of papers published in the same year with a lower citation impact. On the other, weighted citation distributions are skewed distributions with outliers. Percentiles are well-suited to assigning the position of a focal paper in such distributions of comparable papers. The new approach of calculating percentiles based on weighted citations is demonstrated in this study on the basis of a citation impact comparison between several countries.
