“…Governments face pressure to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their spending, including in the higher education sector. While difficult and challenging to undertake, such initiatives, as inspired by New Public Management (NPM) ideology (Gaus et al, 2022), are evaluated using a set of indicators designed mainly by external as opposed to internal stakeholders. For instance, various leading international companies have introduced and computed international university rankings (Fry et al, 2023).…”

Research grants, research collaboration, and publication in predatory journals: Evidence from publications by Indonesian social scientists

This study investigates the role of research funding and research collaboration in the potential for publication in predatory journals among Indonesian social science academia. A total of 2953 articles published by at least one Indonesian author in the social science field between 2010 and 2020 in Scopus‐indexed journals were collected. The SCImago quartiles of 2019 for the Scopus database and Beall's list of potential predatory journals 2021 were used to evaluate the quality and credibility of the publication outlets. Descriptive statistics and decision tree analysis were performed to classify and predict the quality and credibility of the publications. A contrast in the quality and credibility of publications was identified between research funded by Indonesian and foreign institutions. Research publications that were financially supported by Indonesian ministries and authored by a single author and/or via local and national collaboration were more likely to appear in lower‐ranked journals and predatory journals than publications funded by international sponsors and/or that involved foreign author(s)/international collaboration. This study therefore highlights the need for significant changes in monitoring and evaluation systems, timelines, and output targets of Indonesian government research grant schemes, alongside the enhanced involvement of foreign researchers and reviewers in the research funding schemes.

Self-citations are a key topic in evaluative bibliometrics because they can artificially inflate citation-related performance indicators. Recently, self-citations defined at the largest scale, i.e., country self-citations, have started to attract the attention of researchers and policymakers. According to a recent research, in fact, the anomalous trends in the country self-citation rates of some countries, such as Italy, have been induced by the distorting effect of citation metrics-centered science policies. In the present study, we investigate the trends of country self-citations in 50 countries over the world in the period 1996-2019 using Scopus data. Results show that for most countries country self-citations have decreased over time. 12 countries (Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Malaysia, Pakistan, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and Ukraine), however, exhibit different behavior, with anomalous trends of self-citations. We argue that these anomalies should be attributed to the aggressive science policies adopted by these countries in recent years, which are all characterized by direct or indirect incentives for citations. Our analysis confirms that when bibliometric indicators are integrated into systems of incentives, they are capable of affecting rapidly and visibly the citation behavior of entire countries.

Hidden costs are a relevant issue in the financial planning of institutions. In the context of higher education, this relevance serves to ensure stability, efficiency, and excellence in the development of institutional activities. The study’s objective was to analyze the patterns of publication, collaboration, and evolution of research on hidden costs in higher education. A bibliometric methodology was used, with the search for documents in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. This search resulted in a total of 152 documents published from 2015-2023. The evolution of the production, the most cited authors, the countries with the highest production, the co-occurrence of keywords, and an author network analysis were identified. The results show that the distribution of documents is 44.73% for Scopus and 55.27% for WoS. The scientific production increased from 5 publications in 2015 to 23 in 2023. The United Kingdom is the country with the largest amount of research and Europe stands out as the continent with the largest contribution in this area. The authors with the most publications are Armstrong, N., Kleijnen, J., and Worthy, G. The constant increase in scientific production linked to hidden costs in higher education is evident. Such growth translates into a significant increase in publications and citations, thus reflecting the relevance and interest in the subject.
