“…The percentage of editorial board members who have published in the journal was 46.9%, a value somewhat lower than that found in other areas such as addiction, in which it was 52.1% [19]. The percentage of papers published by these members was 11.8%, which is slightly higher than that found in other areas such as agriculture (7.7%) [20], information sciences (8%) [21], and various other medical subspecialties (7.7%) [22]. However, one should kept in mind that these studies included a high percentage of original articles, while those included in Insights into Imaging are fundamentally revisions.…”

Objectives To analyse the coverage and main bibliometric indicators of Insights into Imaging in Scopus and the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Methods The evolution of journal production in the Scopus database was analysed according to document types, collaboration indexes between authors and institutions, and citation indicators (number of citations, SCImago Journal Rank, quartile, h-index, and most cited works). Networks of collaboration among authors, institutions, and countries were also analysed, as well as those of co-word networks. As a complementary source of information, the Emerging Source Citation Index from the Web of Science database was also considered. Results Four hundred seventy-four papers were included in Scopus and 292 in ESCI. The index of collaboration was 5.18 for authors and 2.74 for institutions. International collaboration occurred in 24.7% of the papers. The number of citations received in Scopus (4295) exceeds the number of citations received in ESCI (1177). The average number of citations per paper was 9.06 in Scopus versus 4.03 in ESCI. The h-index was 29 in Scopus and 16 in ESCI. Several collaborative groups were identified at the national and international level. Conclusions There is a progression of Insights into Imaging in the ranking of journals in the area that, if maintained, will allow it to remain in the first quartile in the Scopus database. The main topics of interest were technologies such as ‘Magnetic resonance imaging’, ‘Computed tomography’, ‘Radiology’, and ‘Ultrasonography’ and diseases such as ‘Breast cancer’ and those related to ‘Paediatrics’.

“…Zdeněk and Lososová [29] performed a study on agricultural economics and policy journals; they found that editorial board members publishing in their own journal had a negative correlation with the journal's impact factor. The impact of the editorial board's h-index on the journal impact factor has been studied by [30].…”

“…The structure of the editorial board may vary among journals [29]. In some journals, I find that the leading position is referred to as Editor-in-Chief (EiC), while in others, the title of the highest-ranked editorial board member is Editor.…”

The scientometric indices, such as the journal Impact Factor (IF) or SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), often play a determining role while choosing a journal for possible publication. The Editor-in-Chief (EiC), also known as a lead editor or chief editor, usually decides the outcomes (e.g., accept, reject) of the submitted manuscripts taking the reviewer’s feedback into account. This study investigates the associations between the EiC’s scholarly reputation (i.e., citation-level metrics) and the rankings of top Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) and Medical Informatics (MI) journals. I consider three scholarly indices (i.e., citation, h-index, and i-10 index) of the EiC and four scientometric indices (i.e., h5-index, h5-median, impact factor, and SJR) of various journals. To study the correlation between scientometric indices of the EiC and journal, I apply Spearman (ρ) and Kendall (τ) correlation coefficients. Moreover, I employ machine learning (ML) models for the journal’s SJR and IF predictions leveraging the EiC’s scholarly reputation indices. The analysis reveals no correlation between the EiC’s scholarly achievement and the journal’s quantitative metrics. ML models yield high prediction errors for SJR and IF estimations, which suggests that the EiC’s scholarly indices are not good representations of the journal rankings.

“…Xie, Wu and Li (2019) claim that the editor occupies the highest position in the scientific power hierarchy. Zdeněk and Lososová (2018) and Oleinik (2014) point out that the editors are supposed to have academic capability and therefore the scholarly power of making decisions about the acceptance, revision and rejection of articles (See also Resnik & Elmore, 2016;Roth, 2002). The fairly new approach called editormetrics has been developed to produce quantitative evaluation which takes the editor/s of the journals as the empirical method for scientific analysis "[....], based on the idea that the prestige of a journal is closely linked to the journal's editors" (Xie, Wu & Li, 2019, p. 1334.…”

“…Some findings suggest for instance that a journal's impact has a strong correlation with how productive the editorial staff is in terms of research output (Walters, 2016). Another finding presented by Zdeněk and Lososová (2018) is that if members of an editorial board publish in their "own" journal, this correlates with low impact figures for that journal, implying that the base of authors should extend very broadly. The constellation of a journal's management structures is vital.…”

On the expression of hegemony in the field of educational technology

This article has emerged from a project aiming at gaining an overview of actors and key figures, their perspectives and results after more than 30 years of ambitious governmental efforts to introduce computer technology in school. The main focus of the article is on what we consider to be dominant arguments, discourses and issues related to the hegemonization of meaning formation. Our line of reasoning is based primarily on a case study of the leading journal in the field of educational technology in Norway over the last fifteen years, the Nordic Journal of Digital Literacy. This is a mainstream research journal, which publishes peer-reviewed articles. However, being subject to the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, it represents a rather interesting case for interrogating the issue of hegemony. Placing the journal’s policy at the forefront, the focus of our analysis will be on the editorials. The main findings, based on issues of the journal over the first ten years are that the editorials are in keeping with what can be regarded as the political priorities and the prevailing political discourses in the field. They contain relatively few, if any, critical perspectives and scant reference is made to the research articles and research area it claims to serve. The method used is document analysis, inspired by discourse-analytic approaches.
