Abstract

PurposeMany researchers in ResearchGate (RG) engage in scholarly activity and share research findings. The researchers' activities in this social network may increase the probability of their works being cited. Thus, this study aims to examine the status of RG indices and the Scopus citation indicators of the allied medical sciences lecturers and their association with their academic rankings.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional, descriptive analytical study was performed. As a first step, the names of all 50 lecturers at the School of Allied Medical Sciences were searched through RG to find all the lecturers with profiles. Then, the h-index as well as the number of citations by them were extracted from Scopus. Spearman's correlation coefficient test was performed to explore the association of the RG score with the Scopus citation indicators and the academic rankings of the lecturers.FindingsThe findings demonstrated that there is a statistically significant relationship between the RG indices (except the question and answer indices) and the Scopus citation indicators with the academic rankings of the lecturers (p-value < 0.01).Originality/valueKnowledge of the significant relationship between the RG indices and the Scopus citation indicators may encourage the lecturers to make more efforts to be active on RG. Furthermore, policymakers can encourage their researchers and lecturers to be more active in this scientific social network, which could lead to promoting the university rankings in the global and national rankings systems.

ResearchGate Altmetric评分和Scopus讲师文献计量指标
ResearchGate (RG)的许多研究人员从事学术活动并分享研究成果。研究人员在这个社交网络中的活动可能会增加他们的作品被引用的可能性。因此,本研究旨在考察相关医学讲师的RG指标和Scopus被引指标的现状及其与学术排名的关系。设计/方法学/方法进行横断面描述性分析研究。作为第一步,通过RG搜索联合医学科学学院所有50名讲师的姓名,以找到所有具有个人资料的讲师。然后从Scopus中提取h-index及其被引次数。采用Spearman相关系数检验,探讨RG分数与Scopus被引指标及讲师学术排名的相关性。结果表明:RG指标(问答指标除外)和Scopus引文指标与讲师学术排名之间存在显著的统计学关系(p值< 0.01)。独创性/价值了解RG指标与Scopus引文指标之间的显著关系,可以鼓励讲师更加积极地参与RG。此外,政策制定者可以鼓励他们的研究人员和讲师在这个科学社会网络中更加活跃,这可能导致提高大学在全球和国家排名系统中的排名。
