This research attempts to use Bradford’s law to identify the most productive “Surgical Robotics” journals. Using the search terms “surgical robotics / robotic surgery / robot-assisted surgery,” the PubMed database was searched for journals indexed under the publication form and data collected was analysed using R software, Biblioshiny method; 6897 publications from 772 journals dealing with surgical robotics were retrieved from January 2015 to June 2020. As per Bradford’s rule, the journal distribution revealed the ration as 16:64: 692. With 25.41% of publications, the United States of America was the leading country to publish robotic surgery studies, followed by Italy (15.93%) and China (10.36 %). The “Journal of Robotic Surgery” described as the most productive journal involved in “Surgical Robotics” research publications. For the Bradford Multiplier (k) at 8.75, the dispersion of journal publications did not satisfy either the Bradford Scattering law or the Leimkuhler model in this analysis. Read More Read Less

Abstract The paper deals with the evaluation of Russian scholarly publications’ impact measured by the classical indicator (citation score) and the altmetrics indicators “Usage Count Last 180 days” (U1) and “Usage Count Since 2013” (U2) during the 14 years, 2006-19. We examined research output, citation patterns and usage counts in chemistry, life sciences, mathematics and computer sciences that were indexed in... The paper deals with the evaluation of Russian scholarly publications’ impact measured by the classical indicator (citation score) and the altmetrics indicators “Usage Count Last 180 days” (U1) and “Usage Count Since 2013” (U2) during the 14 years, 2006-19. We examined research output, citation patterns and usage counts in chemistry, life sciences, mathematics and computer sciences that were indexed in the Science Citation Index – Expanded of the Web of Science (WoS). The value of citation score and altimetric indicators (U2 and U1) were dated on July 27, 2020. We compared the mean numbers of Total Citations (TC) to papers from different years with their usage counts in the WoS. U1 shows the numbers of usages in the last 180 days, and U2 gives the count since 2013. Our results of citation score indicator and usage counts U2 indicator demonstrate a similar trend in both with time since 2013 in all subject areas except mathematics. Usage counts (U2)are mostly higher than TC for recent years. This suggests that this altmetric indicator could attract attention to a publication at least a year before it could draw a significant number of citations. This indicator is now being used by many members of the Russian science community as an essential science indicator. U2 and TC do not contradict each other, but they do measure different behaviors.

Abstract Information Literacy is one of the focus areas of research conducted by researchers from different crosssections of disciplines. The present bibliometric study conducted based on scholarly communications on the subject within 31 years during 1989-2020 has revealed many clues. For the study, from the Web of Science database, bibliometrix R-package Biblioshiny and VOSviewer could generate 1764 documents from different 357... Information Literacy is one of the focus areas of research conducted by researchers from different crosssections of disciplines. The present bibliometric study conducted based on scholarly communications on the subject within 31 years during 1989-2020 has revealed many clues. For the study, from the Web of Science database, bibliometrix R-package Biblioshiny and VOSviewer could generate 1764 documents from different 357 sources having a total of 35558 references. The study’s findings indicate that 2016 is the most contributing year for Information Literacy related publications. The USA tops in the aspects of most productive country and most cited country of the publication. At the same time, M. Pinto is found to contribute a maximum of 37 publications. Of the top 20 scholarly journals, ‘Journal of Academic Librarianship’ is the highest in communicating such articles with 166 numbers. Read More Read Less
