To combat the effects of climate change and meet the need for clean energy, the global power sector, over the past few decades, has been undergoing a major transformation for which all possible renewable energy sources are currently being utilized. To achieve sustainable growth, India, like many other countries, is also in the process of energy transition, aiming to shift to renewable energy-based power generation. In this transition, research in Ocean Renewable Energy (ORE) technologies is rising to rapid prominence. This study examines the state of ORE research in India and compares it with global research activities in this field using a graph-theoretical framework for collaboration co-authorship networks in ORE using bibliometric data on published scholarly articles indexed in two well-known electronic databases covering two 10-year windows: 1999-2008 and 2009-2018, inclusive. A strategic analysis of a number of metrics characterizing the networks’ large-scale structures reveals that the Indian network is highly fragmented, resulting in a singular dearth of large-scale connections for Indian ORE researchers. We recommend effective research policies to improve knowledge generation and dissemination in ORE research collaboration in India (and many other countries in similar situations), based on our findings for Indian networks and pertinent parallels with global ORE. With growing concerns about sustainable energy utilization, our study has policy implications for pressing issues of energy demands in the country.

This brief communication is the outcome of the prevailing confusion and the role of editors of several prestigious journals published in India in different disciplines of science and social science including the discipline of library and information science. These journals use different Plagiarism Detection Tools (PDTs) or Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS) to assess the similarity score of the submitted manuscript. These PDTs are helpful to avoid questions raised on the academic integrity of the submitted manuscript. For every submission, the editor of the journal generates a similarity report and communicates the results of the similarity index to the scholars verbatim. It is not judicious for the editor of the journal to simply rely on the percentage of similarity index suggested by the PDT. Human intervention is required to rule out the facts by a thorough inspection of every single matching. Also, an acceptable percentage of similarity for a manuscript needs a critical analysis. Based on the set guidelines of the academic regulatory bodies, an acceptable percentage of similarity for a manuscript is considered as minor or level 0 if it is 10%. The present communication draws attention towards this malice as a lot of time of the author/scholar is devoted to incorporate small changes which do not serve any useful purpose to the manuscript and the journal.

University ranking systems are among the topics of interest in scientometric studies. This study aims to identify and rank the most important criteria and indicators of global, regional, and national university ranking systems. In this descriptive study, the criteria and indicators of 34 global rankings, 23 regional rankings, 88 national rankings, and 145 university rankings were reviewed. Criteria and indicators of each ranking system were written on special worksheets. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, frequency percentage, and cumulative frequency. After combining the identified criteria and indicators, 17 criteria and 397 indicators were extracted. The results showed that in academic ranking systems, the criteria of research, education, students, financial factors, internationalization, and regional interactions emphasized more than other cases. today, universities and institutions of higher education will no longer be able to carry out the new missions of scientific societies in the process of producing knowledge and wealth by using only the traditional functions of the university, namely education and research.

Introduction: Counterproductive knowledge behaviour is considered to negatively impact all organizations, either in business or public institutions. Objectives: This study aims to provide a comprehensive picture of knowledge management, integrating three counterproductive knowledge behaviours: knowledge hoarding, knowledge withholding, and knowledge hiding. Materials and Methods: This study uses a bibliometric approach using 337 documents from the Scopus database to understand the field development behind counterproductive knowledge behaviours. The data analysis involves the evaluation of performance analysis and thematic mapping. The performance analysis is aimed to understand the pioneering authors and manuscripts within the field, while the scientific maps aim to depict the thematic development of current fields. The performance analysis results discover pioneering authors, trending topics, prominent sources and articles, and country-wise performance. Results: The performance analysis indicates growing interest since 2011 mainly published in “knowledge” theme journal, mainly authored by Chinese researcher. However, from the authorship results, this research also pin-point pioneering author within the field. The results from scientific map analysis indicate different concepts between knowledge hoarding, knowledge withholding, and knowledge hiding while at the same time discovering the position of knowledge sharing within these three concepts. This study also discovers several basic theories on counterproductive knowledge behaviour. Conclusion: This research contributes to the scientific community by comprehensively combining the performance and scientific map analysis to measure the research development in counterproductive knowledge behaviour. Additionally, this paper provide future research agenda within the fields inviting future researcher to explore any potential theoretical integration, model integration such as involving technological aspect.

The use of medicinal plants by health professionals and the general population is widespread in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region due to its cultural tradition and extensive biodiversity. We aimed to describe the scientific production of medicinal plants in LAC, using bibliometric and co-words analysis for original articles from three databases published from 1970 to 2020. We analyzed 14,397 original articles from Web of Science, Scielo, and LILACS databases. Annual scientific production of medicinal plants in LAC increased from 2000 to 2010 but remained constant. More than half of the included articles had authors from Brazilian institutions, but articles with authors from Cuban institutions had the highest rate of articles per million country inhabitants. LAC countries mostly collaborated with the United States and western Europe. Ilex paraguariensis A.St.-Hil., Uncaria tomentosa (Willd. ex Schult.) DC., and Baccharis trimera (Less.) DC. are the most frequently mentioned medicinal plants. We observed the anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitumor, and antioxidant activity of medicinal plants assessed in these studies, mostly from basic and laboratory research. Overall, the scientific production of medicinal plants in LAC increased and assessed most of its main therapeutic effects. However, more efforts are needed to increase regional collaboration and promote clinical and translational research. These results could be valuable information for decision-makers and scientists to determine future research prioritization and funding.
由于拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的文化传统和广泛的生物多样性,卫生专业人员和普通民众普遍使用药用植物。我们的目的是描述拉丁美洲和加勒比地区药用植物的科学生产,使用文献计量学和共词分析来自1970年至2020年发表的三个数据库的原始文章。我们分析了来自Web of Science、Scielo和LILACS数据库的14397篇原创文章。拉丁美洲和加勒比地区药用植物的年科学产量从2000年到2010年有所增加,但保持不变。纳入的文章中有一半以上的作者来自巴西机构,但作者来自古巴机构的文章每百万国家居民的文章比例最高。拉丁美洲和加勒比国家大多与美国和西欧合作。巴拉圭冬青(野生);Schult交货)。直流。和三叶草酒(少)。直流。是最常被提及的药用植物。我们观察到这些研究中评估的药用植物的抗炎、抗菌、抗肿瘤和抗氧化活性,主要来自基础和实验室研究。总体而言,拉美地区药用植物的科学生产有所增加,并评估了其大部分主要治疗效果。然而,需要更多的努力来加强区域合作,促进临床和转化研究。这些结果可能为决策者和科学家确定未来研究的优先次序和资助提供有价值的信息。

Purpose: This study dwells on the coverage of altmetric indicators in the Mendeley reference manager, citations in the Crossref platform, and the correlations between readers and citations of papers by researchers working in Brazil, according to different fields and subfields of knowledge. Design/Methodology/Approach: We analyzed 152,727 scientific papers published between 2017-2018 by researchers working in Brazil. Findings: The coverage of Brazilian papers by Mendeley is relatively high (87.91%) and 63% of Brazilian papers had citations in Crossref. In the Brazilian context, Mendeley readership is relatively high (average R 2 reaching 70% in some areas). Originality/Value: The correlation between readers in Mendeley and citations in Crossref of Brazilian scientific output is between moderate and high. This indicates that Mendeley and Crossref data can be relevant for evaluating Brazilian science. The data reveal that Mendeley readership can, in many fields, predict citations. These data are generally higher and mor homogeneous than those found in the international researches. The scientific communication of international context (based on international journals) and Brazilian (heavily published in national open access journals) and the information sources used in the studies may partly explain the differences between them.

Leydesdorff ’s work in scientometrics is voluminous and covers various domains of the field. His papers have been highly cited and provided novel pathways for future research. He has published several books which has been of immense value to the research community. Many of his works have become part of the pedagogy of this field. The intellectual depth of his work, clarity, and daring approach has characterized his research. He has played a seminal role in conceptualizing the citation behavior, and co-citation patterns among others, and had taken a critical stance whenever needed in arguing the relevance and validity of bibliometric indicators. He has worked hard to bring novel methodology, new tools, and techniques to the field at large. This includes the development of network analysis techniques for studying the structure and evolution of scientific collaboration networks. He also developed the highly useful ‘Science Overlay Maps’ method, which uses network visualization techniques to identify research fronts and emerging topics in science. The tools and methodologies that he has developed have been widely shared in open access for the research community at large. https://www.leydesdorff.net/software.htm is a wonderful site that provides a rich repository of his work, a link to the openaccess software developed by him for undertaking various bibliometric research, mapping, visualization, etc.
