Journal of Scientometric Research

Special issue on Quantitative, Network-theoretic and Altmetric Analysis of
Scholarly Big Data

Call for Papers
In the modern connected world full of digital information and scholarly
content, identifying the most relevant resources has become a challenge. A
researcher, irrespective of his/her discipline of knowledge, now has to
depend on online portals, digital libraries and electronic repositories for
finding scientific articles in an area and also reporting research results.
However, academic search is still provided largely by various search
engines, where they treat the task of scholarly article search as a web
search problem. In this process, the bibliometric information and
associated metadata of scholarly articles is often ignored completely.
This special issue aims to report research results and advances in the
area, viewed from different perspectives (such as Computer Science,
Informatics, Bibliometrics, Scientometrics and Science & Technology
Studies). There are clear applications of Scientometrics to Information
Retrieval and vice versa. Applying Scientometrics to Information Retrieval
process helps in improving the Information Retrieval results, particularly
in Scholarly articles domain, a theme now pursued under the title of
Bibliometric Enhanced Information retrieval. Similarly, ideas from Text
Analytics and Language Processing can help in developing newer models of
Scientometric evaluations and characterizations. Altmetrics, the emerging
alternative metrics, are another important area of research having impact
on the way scholarly data is processed. Network-theoretic approaches
contribute to understanding of the area as well.
Submissions to the special issue are open to researchers from any part of
the world. The special issue will mainly draw extended papers from the
Indo-German Workshop on Information Retrieval, Informetrics and
Scientometrics to be held during 11-13 June 2019 at Cologne, Germany.
However, special issue is also open to submissions on the topics covered in
the workshop from other authors as well. Authors are solicited to submit
articles reporting research results, conceptual advances and experimental
studies, describing significant advances in Information Retrieval,
Informetrics and Scientometrics. Papers that describe concepts and ideas on
the broad intersection of Information Retrieval, Scientometrics, Applied
Informetrics and Altmetrics are welcome. The journal allows different kinds
of submissions ranging from Research Articles & Perspective Papers to
Commentary and Scientific Correspondence. Please see
https://www.jscires.org/contributors.asp for more details.
An indicative (but non-exhaustive) list of topics is as below:

- Academic Databases: Structures, Coverage, Subject Classification,
Journal Metrics, Journal Rankings and Categorization, Databases and
Digital
Libraries, Electronic Repositories, Data infrastructure for research
metrics.
- Altmetrics: Theory and Relevance of alternative metrics, Social media
and alternative metrics, Scientific Vs. Public Attention, Country Specific

- Text-based Methods: Identifying Themes and Trends, Topic Modeling,
Burst Detection, Keyphrase Identification.
- Mapping and Visualization: Visualization Tools and Techniques,
Visualizing Intellectual Structures of Disciplines, Co-variates and
Graphical Visualizations.
