“…[59], p. 160 Conversely, Edge [13] and Stokes and Harfley [62] have argued that co-authorship reflects mutual intellectual and social influence. However, even they agree that most collaborations begin informally and are often the result of informal conversation [13,19,60]. Informal communication may then lead to increasing commitment to co-operate, much the same as with communication in the courtship process.…”

“…Even where there is no formal collaboration, the teacher who supervises the training of a student may retain a close relationship with that student over later years. Sometimes this is part of the process associated with the development of an 'invisible college' [60]. l0 Invisible colleges are a form of network and represent a good source of potential collaborators.…”

Research and Development Organisation with 280 publications. BHU's main collaborator country is USA with 607 publications, followed by Germany with 471 publications. Maximum consistency (0.40) in international collaboration is seen with Nepal, whereas minimum consistency observed with England. Maximum consistency of publications is seen 1995. Highest consistency (0.37) is seen in sub-field electrochemistry. Sepectrochimica acta Part A has highest consistency (0.53), while Astrophysics and Space Science has lowest (0.19) consistency.Keywords: Three-dimensional study; Banaras Hindu University; BHU; Collaboration Received : 09 August 2017, Revised : 03 September 2017 Accepted : 19 September 2017, Online published : 07 November 2017 DJLIT, VOL. 37, NO. 6, NOVEMBER 2017 404 indicated volume; the quality (or impact i), as measured by the ratio C/P, where C is the total number of citations received by P papers, indicated the velocity with which the ideas in P papers are communicated through citations C, and consistency ƞ indicated the variety (variability) in the quality of the individual papers in the publication set or, in other words, the shape of the distribution curve. By using all three components together, a z-index can be computed from an energy-like term (Z = ƞ X = ƞ 2E ) as z = Z 1/3 , which has the same dimensions as the number of publications. X is energy and E is energy [5][6] , so it is possible to imagine a phantom indicator named zynergy for Z = ƞ X = ƞ 2E . This phantom index combines quantity, quality, and consistency (or efficiency) in the true spirit of 3D evaluation. The accurate calculation of consistency (ƞ) requires the complete citation sequence, (i.e. the distribution curve) for country, organisation, author or journal. tHrEE-dIMEnSIonAL EVALuAtIon tooLSSeveral indicators have been used to express performance of scientific output of an individual, institution, or an entity. Scientific performance of individual or an entity can be measured by using different parameters. QuantityNumber of papers/articles 'P' published during a prescribed window will be called publication window (for this study the window is from 1989 to 2016). A five-year citation window is considered for each year. Quality and consistencyQuality denotes citation per paper, calculated as C/P where C is the number of citations during a prescribed citation window. The quality measurement needed two separate windows, the publication window and the citation window. In 3-D evaluation of performance measurement after computing quantity P and quality i parameters, it is possible to derive other indicators by following these sequences. P= i 0 P (zero th -order indicator), C= i 1 P (first-order indicator), X= i 2 P = iC (secondorder indicator), where C = Σc j , j = 1 to P.C is derived from complete citation sequence, c j of the citation of each paper in a publication portfolio of P papers as the total number of citations, C=∑c j , for j=1 to P. Both P and C serve as indicators of performance in their respective ways. If C=iP may be as...

Analysing an Academic Field through the Lenses of Internet Science: Digital Humanities as a Virtual Community

2015

Abstract. Digital Humanities (DH) has been depicted as an innovative engine for humanities, as a challenge for Data Science, and as an area where libraries, archives and providers of e-research infrastructures join forces with research pioneers. However DH is defined, one thing is certain: DH is a new community which manifests and identifies itself via the Internet and social media. In this paper we propose to describe DH as a virtual community (VC), and discuss the implications of such an epistemic approach. We start with a (re)inspection of the scholarly discourse about VCs, and the analytic frameworks which have been applied to study them. We discuss the aspects that are highlighted by taking such a stance, and use the guidelines proposed by the FP7 European Network of Excellence in Internet Science (EINS) in our investigation.
