Research data management: a bibliometric and altmetric study based on Dimensions

Abstract

Objective. This study aims to analyze the scientific production on research data management indexed in the Dimensions database.
 Design/Methodology/Approach. Using the term “research data management” in the Dimensions database, 677 articles were retrieved and analyzed employing bibliometric and altmetric indicators. The Altmetrics.com system was used to collect data from alternative virtual sources to measure the online attention received by the retrieved articles. Bibliometric networks from journals bibliographic coupling and keywords co-occurrence were generated using the VOSviewer software.
 Results/Discussion. Growth in scientific production over the period 1970-2021 was observed. The countries/regions with the highest rates of publications were the USA, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Among the most productive authors were Andrew Martin Cox, Stephen Pinfield, Marta Teperek, Mary Anne Kennan, and Amanda L. Whitmire. The most productive journals were the International Journal of Digital Curation, Journal of eScience Librarianship, and Data Science Journal, while the most representative research areas were Information and Computing Sciences, Information Systems, and Library and Information Studies.
 Conclusions. The multidisciplinarity in research data management was demonstrated by publications occurring in different fields of research, such as Information and Computing Sciences, Information Systems, Library and Information Studies, Medical and Health Sciences, and History and Archeology. About 60% of the publications had at least one citation, with a total of 3,598 citations found, featuring a growing academic impact.
 Originality/Value. This bibliometric and altmetric study allowed the analysis of the literature on research data management. The theme was investigated in the Dimensions database and analyzed using productivity, impact, and online attention indicators.

Research on religion and spirituality in China: A bibliometric analysis based on the Web of Science

“…To determine the research themes related to religion in China and identify which of these are the most relevant in terms of impact and relationship, a bibliometric analysis was developed to evaluate the performance of the field under consideration, as well as the mapping of the main themes, authors and organizations between 2014 and 2023 19,20,21 . For this purpose, a methodology was developed in three stages using VOSviewer software as a central tool, these being: i) data retrieval and processing 22,23,24 ; ii) elaboration and normalization of the scientific maps 25,26,27 ; and iii) visualization and analysis of the main relationships in the research themes 28,29 .…”

Use of real-time graphics in health education: A systematic review

“…Real-time graphics allow students to practice and refine these skills without jeopardizing the lives and well-being of actual patients. 14,15 The importance of using real-time graphics in health education has become increasingly evident in the scientific literature. Numerous studies have shown that these technologies can enhance knowledge and skill acquisition, increase student confidence and satisfaction, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.…”
