Assessment of collaboration patterns in the field of biology in Armenia during 2007-2020: a bibliometric overview

Abstract

Bibliometric analysis is widely used for the assessment of collaboration both at the domestic and international levels, which has been known as one of the essential parts of academic performance and enhancement of scientific productivity and visibility. Evaluation of national and international cooperation in the framework of jointly published papers in biology underlies the core of present study. This research provides insight into the nature of scientific productivity and international scientific cooperation. The study aims to give a bibliometric overview via scientometric indicators based on a bibliometric database of published articles in the Biological Journal of Armenia during 2007-2020. The main indicators used for the evaluation of co-authorship patterns include the degree of collaboration, collaboration index, and the collaboration coefficient. The visualization of landscapes for both institution-wise and country-wise distributions within the international cooperation has also been performed.
