A poche settimane di distanza due importanti istituzioni universitarie e di ricerca francesi hanno annunciato la rinuncia alla sottoscrizione annuale a, rispettivamente, WOS e Scopus, le due banche dati bibliografiche private più utilizzate al mondo. Stiamo parlando di Sorbonne Université e CNRS.
L’8 dicembre 2023, la Sorbona ha pubblicato […]
@associazione@aisa.sp.unipi.it La notizia della sospensione dell'abbonamento a #Scopus - database bibliometrico proprietario detenuto da Elsevier, pure in conflitto di interessi - è ora ufficiale: https://www.cnrs.fr/en/cnrsinfo/cnrs-has-unsubscribed-scopus-publications-database
La scelta è intesa come un primo passo per emanciparsi dalla bibliometria proprietaria. In Italia invece non si può perché la valutazione di stato in mano all'#Anvur la impone, a dispetto di #COARA
New study: "At least 67 hijacked #journals…have penetrated #Scopus since 2013. Of these, 33 journals indexed unauthorized content in Scopus and 23 compromised the homepage link in the journal's profile, while 11 did both. As of September 2023, 41 hijacked journals are still compromising the data of legitimate journals in Scopus." http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/asi.24855
Just released: #VOSviewer version 1.6.20, offering improved support for creating maps based on data downloaded through APIs. It also supports creating maps based on data exported from #Scopus in the new Scopus file format. @LudoWaltman@cwtshttps://www.vosviewer.com
@DrSimonCarr@tiago@academicchatter Not sure that Google is morally superior to Clarivate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarivate ("[~50% profit margin ...] in the range of entertainment software and tobacco industries, and ahead of pharmaceutical, oil/gas and cell phone industries ... anti-competitive practices in a highly oligopolistic academic database market ...") Agree that #WebofScience is a way better search interface for academic articles ... #Scopus may be even better but ugh, Elsevier!
You work on a study for more than 6 months, finally publish the results and... they are lost in an ocean of other results. So, I'll try to use repetition to add sparkles n light the 🔥 of the findings of the analysis of Ukrainian papers in #ArtsandHumanities:
🌱 The total number of papers is growing every year;
🌍 But Ukrainian scholars are poorly integrated into world science;
:thisisfinefire: It's important to publish in influential journals, not just pray on #Scopus
the journals #Aniki: Revista Portuguesa da Imagem em Movimento and #HoST - Journal of History of Science and Technology, both published with the support of the IHC, have been accepted for indexing by the #Scopus platform! 🥳🎊
