Competence Mapping through Analysing Research Papers of a Scientific Community

Abstract

Abstract. Main goal of a scientific community is the collaborative production of new knowledge through research and scholarship. An integrative research approach, fostered by confrontation and collaboration among researchers, is widely recognized as a key factor to improve the quality of production of a scientific community. Competence mapping is a valid approach to highlight expertise, encourage re-use of knowledge, contributing significantly to the growth of the scientific community. In this paper we propose a methodological framework for examination and semi-manual classification of research papers. This method leads to the creation of a database that correlates research competences and researchers.

Assessing user-specific difficulty of documents

“…A downside of the indirect approach, as can also be seen in the results of this study, is that the accuracy is not as good as in semi-manual systems. The method presented in this article can be used also, for example, in competence management (Honkela, Nordfors, & Tuuli, 2004;Volpentesta & Felicetti, 2011) or in a search engine for educational material for adolescents or younger pupils (Miltsakaki & Troutt, 2008). A broad scenario is to use the method to assess documents retrieved by a general-purpose search engine.…”

“…A number of definitions of competence exist in the literature. The first group refers to employee's visible performance or behavior [59][60][61][62]. The second group describes competency as a standard or quality indicator [63].…”

Eigenvector Centrality Based on Shared Research Topics in a Scientific Community

“…Such a process, widely described in [17], is collaboratively performed by a team of experts that are supported by an automatic paper indexing tool. It is aimed to associate one or more instantiation of the triple , , ES) to any Pro-VE paper and it essentially consists of the following interrelated steps:…”
