A bibliometric study of the publication patterns of South African scientists.Jacobs, Daisy. January 1998 (has links)
One of the legacies of the apartheid system was the discrepancy in funding
and support for various activities, including research work in science and
technology based on racial grounds. Some institutions of higher learning and
research institutes were favoured more than others in terms of resources.
Presently, despite the fact that there is national democracy, previously
disadvantaged institutions with their culture of minimal research and poor
publication output continue to produce inadequate quantities of research and
publications while the historically developed universities are at the forefront
of research and publication.This research is a bibliometric study of the publication patterns of South African scientists. The subjects were academic scientists from ten selected universities of the Eastern Cape, Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal, which
vary considerably, with regard to standards of education, quantity of
publications, development and overall progress.
The general purpose of this study was to investigate the patterns used by
scientists in publishing the results of their research, provide valuable
information and play a significant role in evaluating the research and
publication patterns of scientists from these different institutions
The study collected two sets of data through lists of publications and a
questionnaire. The questionnaire was pretested and the comments of the
respondents enabled the investigator to make the necessary revisions in the
subsequent questionnaire.
The questionnaire was sent to 350 full-time academic scientists in the
departments of physics, chemistry, botany, zoology and biochemistry /
microbiology in the selected universities. Out of the 350 scientists, 174
responded. Twenty one returns were discarded, hence only 153 were used in
the data analysis. Further data was obtained from the Science Citation Index
and the Foundation for Research Development.
Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, one way ANOVA and
Pearson Chi-Square test. The results obtained in this study showed that the
five null hypotheses were rejected. It was found that there was a : -
• direct relation between academic rank and productivity; academic status
and productivity.
• direct relation correlation between prestige and productivity.
• higher impact of "A" grade scientists over non-"A" grade scientists.
• significant difference in productivity between areas of science that are
funded and areas which receive little or no funding. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 1998.

Analysing ranking algorithms and publication trends on scholarly citation networksDunaiski, Marcel Paul 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Citation analysis is an important tool in the academic community. It can aid universities,
funding bodies, and individual researchers to evaluate scientific work and direct resources
appropriately. With the rapid growth of the scientific enterprise and the increase of online
libraries that include citation analysis tools, the need for a systematic evaluation of these
tools becomes more important.
The research presented in this study deals with scientific research output, i.e., articles
and citations, and how they can be used in bibliometrics to measure academic success.
More specifically, this research analyses algorithms that rank academic entities such as
articles, authors and journals to address the question of how well these algorithms can
identify important and high-impact entities.
A consistent mathematical formulation is developed on the basis of a categorisation
of bibliometric measures such as the h-index, the Impact Factor for journals, and ranking
algorithms based on Google’s PageRank. Furthermore, the theoretical properties of each
algorithm are laid out.
The ranking algorithms and bibliometric methods are computed on the Microsoft
Academic Search citation database which contains 40 million papers and over 260 million
citations that span across multiple academic disciplines.
We evaluate the ranking algorithms by using a large test data set of papers and authors
that won renowned prizes at numerous Computer Science conferences. The results show
that using citation counts is, in general, the best ranking metric. However, for certain
tasks, such as ranking important papers or identifying high-impact authors, algorithms
based on PageRank perform better. As a secondary outcome of this research, publication
trends across academic disciplines are analysed to show changes in publication behaviour
over time and differences in publication patterns between disciplines. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sitasiesanalise is ’n belangrike instrument in die akademiese omgewing. Dit kan universiteite,
befondsingsliggams en individuele navorsers help om wetenskaplike werk te evalueer
en hulpbronne toepaslik toe te ken. Met die vinnige groei van wetenskaplike uitsette
en die toename in aanlynbiblioteke wat sitasieanalise insluit, word die behoefte aan ’n
sistematiese evaluering van hierdie gereedskap al hoe belangriker.
Die navorsing in hierdie studie handel oor die uitsette van wetenskaplike navorsing,
dit wil sê, artikels en sitasies, en hoe hulle gebruik kan word in bibliometriese studies
om akademiese sukses te meet. Om meer spesifiek te wees, hierdie navorsing analiseer
algoritmes wat akademiese entiteite soos artikels, outeers en journale gradeer. Dit wys
hoe doeltreffend hierdie algoritmes belangrike en hoë-impak entiteite kan identifiseer.
’n Breedvoerige wiskundige formulering word ontwikkel uit ’n versameling van bibliometriese
metodes soos byvoorbeeld die h-indeks, die Impak Faktor vir journaale en die
rang-algoritmes gebaseer op Google se PageRank. Verder word die teoretiese eienskappe
van elke algoritme uitgelê.
Die rang-algoritmes en bibliometriese metodes gebruik die sitasiedatabasis van Microsoft
Academic Search vir berekeninge. Dit bevat 40 miljoen artikels en meer as 260
miljoen sitasies, wat oor verskeie akademiese dissiplines strek.
Ons gebruik ’n groot stel toetsdata van dokumente en outeers wat bekende pryse op
talle rekenaarwetenskaplike konferensies gewen het om die rang-algoritmes te evalueer.
Die resultate toon dat die gebruik van sitasietellings, in die algemeen, die beste rangmetode
is. Vir sekere take, soos die gradeering van belangrike artikels, of die identifisering
van hoë-impak outeers, presteer algoritmes wat op PageRank gebaseer is egter beter. ’n
Sekondêre resultaat van hierdie navorsing is die ontleding van publikasie tendense in
verskeie akademiese dissiplines om sodoende veranderinge in publikasie gedrag oor tyd
aan te toon en ook die verskille in publikasie patrone uit verskillende dissiplines uit te
wys.
