“…Surprisingly, there have not been a large number of bibliometric studies measuring the published research outputs of computer science. Some of them have focused on individual countries or groups of countries: China [1], Malaysia [2], India [3], Brazil [4], India and China [5], Eastern Europe [6], BRIC and a few other countries [7], or China, India, Japan, and three major Western nations [8]. The research performance of global universities in computer science has been explored too [9].…”

Abstract:In this article we present a bibliometric study of 1.9 million computer science papers published from 1945 to 2014 and indexed in Web of Science. We analyze both the quantity and the impact of these publications according to document types, languages, disciplines, countries, institutions, and publication sources. The most frequent author keywords, cited references, and cited papers as well as the distribution of the number of references and citations per paper and of the age of cited references are also explored. Since conference proceedings play a tremendous role in this scientific field, we investigate the time and place of computer science conferences in terms of the most prolific months and locations. And, last but not least, the production of journal articles and conference papers over the whole time period and the level of collaboration in different computer science disciplines are inspected. One of the main results is the finding that "Artificial Intelligence" is the most productive subfield of computer science, but "Interdisciplinary Applications" has the highest relative impact.

“…Allik (2013) contrasted the very different approaches to research excellence that have been taken by the three Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), Popovic et al (2012) and Ivanovic and Ho (2014) discussed the improving quality of Serbian academic research, and Vanecek (2008) compared bibliometric data for the Czech Republic with six other EU countries. There have also been many published bibliometric studies of computer science, these involving either a comparison of multiple countries (e.g., Fiala, 2012;Guan and Ma, 2004;Ma et al, 2008) or a focus on a specific country, e.g., Brazil (Arruda et al, 2009), China (Xie and Willett, 2013), India (Gupta et al, 2011) and Malaysia (Bakri and Willett, 2011).

Purpose: This paper studies the development of research in computer science in 15 Eastern European countries following the breaching of the Berlin Wall in 1989.Design/methodology/approach: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of 82,121 computer science publications indexed in the Web of Science database and investigated publication, citation, and collaboration patterns of the individual countries.Findings: Poland has been the most productive country, followed by Russia, the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, and Slovenia. Publication rates have increased substantially over the period, but this has not been accompanied by a corresponding increase in the quality of the publications. Hungary and Slovenia are the most influential countries in terms of citations per paper. Artificial Intelligence is the most frequently occurring computer science subject category, with Interdisciplinary Applications the category with the greatest impact.

“…In particular, the so-called fellowship of research productivity (PQ) have been conceived in the 1970s as a way to encourage researchers with outstanding scientific production in their fields. Currently, Brazilian researchers of all areas of knowledge desire the PQ fellowship due to the status that comes with it [1,7,8]. As a consequence, both the profile and the criteria for holding a PQ fellowship become of interest to the entire scientific community.…”

ABSTRACT. The fellowship of research productivity (PQ) granted by the national council for scientific and technological development (CNPq), besides the financial support, renders a significant status among Brazilian researchers of all areas of knowledge. Consequently, both the profile and the criteria for holding a PQ fellowship become of interest to the entire Brazilian scientific community. In this paper, we model the decision criteria as a weighted sum of the scientific production and the supervisory experience of an applicant for PQ fellowship. The scientific production is measured as the number of publications grouped according to the QUALIS system provided by the Brazilian federal agency for the improvement of higher education (CAPES). The Lattes curricula of PQ fellows in the field of mathematics, along with the curricula of many non-PQ researchers of similar institutions, were used to estimate a criteria for receiving PQ fellowship in category 2. By allowing a certain tolerance, the model reproduced the decision criteria within acceptable bounds over a database composed of 320 curricula.
