Abstract The present study demonstrates the growth of tribology literature for the period 2000-2019. A total of 1208852publications were extracted from the Web of Science Database for ten years. The Relative Growth Rate (RGR) and Doubling Time (Dt.) of tribology literature have been calculated, supplementing with different growth patterns to check whether tribology literature fits polynomial, linear, or logistic models.

The Relative Growth Rate (RGR) and Doubling Time (Dt.) of tribology literature have been calculated, supplementing with different growth patterns to check whether tribology literature fits polynomial, linear, or logistic models. The results of the study indicate that the growth of literature in tribology does not follow the linear or logistic growth model. However, it follows closely the polynomial growth model.Identified the global research trends. The study concludes that there has been a consistent trend towards increased growth of literature in the field of tribology. Read More Read Less

Annotation: Forming a policy for the scientific and innovative development of the national economy requires an in-depth analysis of development trends in this area, in which Scientific and Technical Clusters (starting now referred to as STCs) play a significant role. The experience of leading countries in patenting and publishing activity, based on the identification of scientific and technological progress, will serve as an example for countries seeking to achieve progress in this area. Purpose of the study: The study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the effectiveness of organizing innovative processes in the aspect of scientific and technical technology, identifying factors and drivers for the development of regional scientific and technological complexes in the global economy, and determining the competitive advantages of leading countries in filing patent applications and publishing activity. Data and methods: Based on the cluster approach used in the methodology of the Global Innovation Index (hereinafter referred to as the GII), the study conducted a comparative analysis of annually published data and GII indicators in the field of patent and publication activity. Results: An analysis of the development of regional scientific and technical technology in the global economy made it possible to identify 20 main scientific areas of scientific and technical technology, the leading positions in which are occupied by medical, digital, and computer technologies, as well as pharmaceuticals. As a result of the analysis of patent and publication activity, the leading countries in the STC ranking were identified: the USA, Japan, Germany, and China. Despite the fact that these countries maintained their leadership during the period under review (2017–2021), a decrease in their share (except China) in the total number of analyzed indicators was revealed. Conclusions: The possibility of a country’s participation in the STC GII ranking is determined by the quality of the fundamental and applied research conducted, which is evidenced in particular by the level of publishing and patenting activity of the scientific community. To be included in the STC ranking, the state needs to formulate a scientific and technological policy that would contribute to both improving the quality of research and development and the growth of key performance indicators (the number of patent applications and publication activity).

Abstract This study investigated the correlation between traditional indicators of Scientometrics and altmetrics. Also, compare quartile ranking based on the journal’saltmetrics scores and quartile ranking based on their JCR impact factor. The Population of this study includes the Journals of library and information science in JCR. “AltmetricExplorer” and JCR databases were used for data gathering. The results of this study showed... This study investigated the correlation between traditional indicators of Scientometrics and altmetrics. Also, compare quartile ranking based on the journal’saltmetrics scores and quartile ranking based on their JCR impact factor. The Population of this study includes the Journals of library and information science in JCR. “AltmetricExplorer” and JCR databases were used for data gathering. The results of this study showed that “Twitter mentions” ranked first among the platforms used for mentioning. Journal of Strategic Information Systems, International Journal of Geographical Information Science, Government Information Quarterly, and Journal of Knowledge Management gained the most altmetric attention score. Correlation analysis between total citations obtained by any journal with its altmetric attention score showed no correlation between the two of these indicators. Also, the analysis showed a correlation between altmetric attention score and JIF but no correlation between altmetric attention score and immediacy index. According to the findings of this study, if we sort the journals in descending order based on their Altmetric scores, we have quartiles that correlate with their quartiles in JCR. This fact indicates that qualified researches influence the academic society as well as non-academic society, although they are available much faster on social media and hence they are less waste of time. However, it also shows that good publications rank high by any measurement tool. Read More Read Less
