Agricultural Science: three bibliometric systems compared
Sub title 201703, Ellen Fest & Hugo Besemer
2
General The expected citedness of an article depends very much on subject In bibliometric studies subject = journal category Most categorization systems depend on choices who made them There are subject specific (economy, chemistry) categorizations but most are generic
3
What we did Compare three systems, based on
Web of Science - Essential Science Indicators Web of Science - WOS categories Scopus - ASJC (All Science Journal Classification) We looked at 14 University Departments 9 Institutes (or their business units) Groups that were: very specific (compared to ESI); low coverage in WOS; Performing particularly well or particularly not so well….
4
The systems compared Web of Science Scopus Number of articles 9124596
Number of Journals 12393 24015 Number of Categories 22 (ESI) 251 (Incites) 331 Avg categories per Jounal 1 (ESI) 1.6 (Incites) 2.1
5
What we expected Scopus would cover better than Web of Science
Specific groups would perform better with more specific categories Web of Science categories are more precise Based on Wang, Qi, and Ludo Waltman. "Large-scale analysis of the accuracy of the journal classification systems of Web of Science and Scopus." Journal of Informetrics 10.2 (2016):

Performance: the overall picture

How do groups with low WOS coverage perform? Management studies

How do very specific groups perform? Fisheries

And yours? Mine: Do we want agricultural journal categories?
Do we want open citation data? And yours?
