“…Over the last decade a great deal of interest has been focused on scientific mapping and visualization. Although first conceived as tools for displaying the structure and dynamics of research activity, they have now been fully integrated into research evaluation (Noyons, Moed, & Luwel, ) and combine structural and performance information that enables them to serve as easy‐to‐read tools for research policy makers (Torres‐Salinas, ). According to Klavans and Boyack (), a map of science can be defined as a set of elements and the existing relationships between them, considering as an element any unit of representation of science such as scientific fields, publications, or researchers.…”

We introduce a novel methodology for mapping academic institutions based on their journal publication profiles. We consider that journals in which researchers from academic institutions publish their works can be considered as useful identifiers for representing the relationships between these institutions and establishing comparisons. But, when academic journals are used for research output representation, distinctions must be introduced between them, based on their value as institution descriptors. This leads us to the use of journal weights attached to the institution identifiers. Since a journal in which researchers from a large proportion of institutions published their papers may be a bad indicator of similarity between two academic institutions, it seems reasonable to weight it in accordance with how frequently researchers from different institutions published their papers in this journal. Cluster analysis can then be applied in order to group the academic institutions, and dendrograms can be provided to illustrate groups of institutions following agglomerative hierarchical clustering. In order to test this methodology, we use a sample of Spanish universities as a case study. We first map the study sample according to institutions' 2 overall research output, and then we use it just for two scientific fields (Information and Communication Technologies, as well as Medicine and Pharmacology) as a means to demonstrate how our methodology cannot only be applied for analyzing institutions as a whole, but also in different disciplinary contexts.

As the carrier of global urbanization, urban land is the basic means of productivity and life of urban residents. Urban land management is of great significance to global climate change mitigation, improving ecological quality, promoting economic development, and ensuring sustainable urban development. At present, although studies on urban land management have accumulated at the global level, the differences in research methods, objectives, and perspectives have led to the fragmentation and confusion of research conclusions. Therefore, it is necessary to review the literature of urban land management, clarify the research contexts, grasp the research progress, and predict the research trends. Bibliometrics, as a quantitative analysis method of literature review analysis, is more comprehensive and objective than relying only on a literature review. It is of great value to grasp the topics and trends of the research field from an overall perspective. In this paper, the Bibliometrix R software package was used to conduct an econometric literature analysis on urban land management from 1979 to 2021, using the Web of Science database. The results showed that: (1) the annual scientific research output and citation frequency in the field of urban land management has generally increased. Combined with the annual change trend of scientific research output, urban land management research can be divided into three stages: the budding period, from 1979 to 1989, the development period, from 1990 to 2008, and the high-yield period, from 2009 to 2021. (2) The 129 countries/regions reviewed differed in their research output, and developed countries showed strong research. The United States, China, and Australia were the top three countries in terms of solo publications and cooperation publications. In addition, among the 16,270 authors, the top three authors were Pradhan, Zhao, and Li. (3) The top three keywords in the field of urban land management were “Management”, “City/Cities” and “Land Use”. The research topics can be divided into three stages. The first stage covers studies with topics of “Management”, “Urbanization” and “GIS”, from 1979 to 2013. From 2014 to 2018, the research topics were gradually enriched by “Urbanization”, “Impact”, “System”, “GIS”, “Management”, “Policy”, “Conservation” and “land”, with a trend towards multidisciplinary and multi-perspective comprehensive analyses. From 2019 to 2021, “Management” and “Climate Change” were the main topics.

Objective. The study aims to analyze indicators of production, collaboration, visibility, impact, and innovation of Cuban universities through Scival during the period 2012-2021. Design/Methodology/Approach. The study design is non-experimental (cross-sectional) and quantitative (descriptive). Eleven Cuban universities were identified in Scival. The indicators were delimited in a time window of 10 years (2012-2021). We analized the results based on 21 indicators covering scientific output, thematic categories, collaboration, visibility, and scientific and patent impact. Results/Discussion. 59.7% of the scientific output is produced by the University of Havana (UH) and the Central University of Las Villas (UCLV). There is a high specialization in engineering and computational sciences. Basic sciences such as mathematics, chemistry and physics are highlighted. 62.1% of the scientific output has been cited. The works’ distribution by journals’ quartiles revealed that 47.3% of the production had been published in 50% of the top Scopus journals during the last ten years. Low performance in innovation and social impact through patents was evidenced. Only UH and UCLV are highlighted. Conclusions. Scival is highly useful for conducting more effective institutional scientific production studies and establishing comparisons of multiple indicators. The biases offered by the tool are minimized, thus offering reliable information for decision-making. The study revealed essential data on Cuban universities' scientific output in Scopus in the last ten years. This is useful for science managers, decision-makers, researchers, and publishers. Originality/Value. The study is novel given that there is a lack of antecedents of Cuban studies using Scival to analyze the universities’ performance. An update on the status of scientific output, visibility and impact is provided.
