Estimates of the price or value of the individual journals within a full-text database may be useful to librarians engaged in serials reviews or other collection development projects, to scholars investigating the determinants of journal prices, and to publishers seeking to rationalize their pricing strategies. This paper evaluates six methods of…

This article performs bibliometric analysis to study the contributions of Saudi institutions in the education field in journals indexed in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED). Publications from 1991 to 2020 were assessed. Characteristics of document types, publication outputs, Web of Science…

Predatory publishers deliver neither the editorial oversight, nor the peer review of legitimate publishers, and benefit from those whose positions require academic publications. These publishers also provide a home for conspiracy theorists and pseudoscience promoters, as their lack of scrutiny offers fraudulent academic research articles a veneer…

Citations are valuable capital in the academy as the number of citations is the most frequently used indicator in evaluating the quality of papers, journals, researchers, and universities. Thus, the characteristics of highly cited articles (HCA) have become a common research topic but the approach has been mainly descriptive with no profound…

Aim/Purpose: This study explores the subject structure, social networks, research trends, and issues in the domain that have the potential to derive an overview of the development of virtual reality-based learning media in vocational education. Background: Notwithstanding the increasingly growing interest in the application of virtual reality in…

Background/purpose: This study explores the methodologies for publishing research papers in SCOPUS-indexed journals, targeting academic professionals, including educators and researchers, to enhance their recognition and visibility within educational contexts. It investigates the critical processes--manuscript writing, journal selection,…

In recent years, the number of academic studies in the field of science communication has increased. It is important to make a general examination of the studies on science communication and to reveal their distribution according to years and countries in order to draw the framework of science communication studies. The main aim of this study was…

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in academic routines. These changes have also contributed to an increase in the number of papers submitted to journals, citations and, ultimately, to changes in metrics. This study aims to address a gap between theory and practice, analysing the changes in the impact factor (IF) of a sample of 30…

This article uses bibliometric tools to analyze the peer-reviewed publications of academic librarians from 32 accredited higher education institutions in Norway--10 university libraries and 22 college libraries--associate members of Universities Norway (UHR). The period 2016-2020 was chosen to enable us to better understand publication patterns…

An increase in scholarly publishing has been accompanied by a proliferation of potentially illegitimate publishers (PIPs), commonly known as "predatory publishers." These PIPs often engage in fraudulent practices and publish articles that are not subject to the same scrutiny as those published in journals from legitimate publishers…

The characteristics of early-age children, such as curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, align with the essential attributes of STEM education.

The discussion of this topic has received an increased interest in the field of school psychology as self-care is one way to combat a well-documented concern in the field, burnout. While that is the case, there…

Many corners of the academy are actively working to build bridges between research in the ivory tower to outcomes and needs in the community. Our study seeks to unify two such efforts: community-based/service-learning research and open access scholarly communication. Open access is an implicit value in community-based and service-learning…

Assessment plays a fundamental role in physics education, with extensive research exploring its various dimensions. Despite this extensive research, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis synthesising trends and identifying research gaps is lacking. This study addresses this need by examining trends, patterns, and future directions in physics…

The goal of this bibliometric analysis is to determine the general trend of publications. Larsen, P.O. and von Ins M.G. are the most influential authors. Routledge is the next most influential publication. The majority of the research on the issue of traditional art learning was backed by as many as 301 links. As novelty a result, this study…
