“…In this paper, we select Spearman for correlation analysis in order to deal with the presence of zero value. Spearman could fit well with data that contains numerous zeroes, and measure the underlying relationship between pairs of variables with obscuring the multidimensional relationships between variables (Thelwall & Nevill, 2018;Zhao & Wang, 2019). As is shown in Table 3, we can see that whatever the country is, "citation" has strong correlations with "view" or "save".…”

“…The altmetrics indicators could reflect social influence does not mean absolutely that it is the sole measure of social influence. Scientists should have a critical view of the social media that are still not extensively used for scientific purposes and altmetrics can only be used to complement citations rather than replace them (Heydari et al, 2019;Zhao & Wang, 2019). As analyzed in this paper, the "share" has no significant correlation with citation.…”

“…Researches on altmetrics and their possible implications in calculating the influence of publications are becoming widespread (Bornmann & Haunschild, 2018;Bornmann et al, 2019;Chavda & Patel, 2016;Priem et al, 2010;Thelwall, 2018). Along with the deepened research gradually, scholars are attaching more importance to the correlation between citation and altmetrics (Dhiman, 2015;Ouchi et al, 2019;Peters et al, 2016;Thelwall et al, 2013;Waltman & Costas, 2014;Zhao & Wang, 2019). Some scholars investigated the correlation from different disciplines like social science, medical science, etc., while others analyzed the correlation between different kinds of altmetrics indicators and citations from other aspects.…”

With the development of open access, more scientific papers show the multi-dimensional academic impact, which makes researchers focus on the comparison between altmetrics and citations. By the use of statistical analysis, we compare the citation and altmetrics of open access papers published in PLoS in past 10 years by 6 countries which are selected in terms of regional distribution, scientific level, native language, etc., and find the following conclusions: Firstly, the level of scientific development and publication content in different countries have more effect on the 4 indicators of "citation", "save", "view" and "share" than the native language. Second, there is a significantly positive correlation between "citation" and "save" in the 6 countries, so as the "citation" and "view", while the altmetrics of "share" is just opposite. Therefore, to some extent, the altmetrics of "view" and "save" could be used to evaluate the scientific influence as a complement measurement of traditional citation metrics. Moreover, correlation coefficients between citations and part of altmetrics of the 6 countries are strong. Finally, the curve peaks of the 6 countries occurred in different years, papers published by developed countries have been active for slightly longer than that by developing countries. In detail, the "citation", "save"and "view" peaks occurred later in developing countries such as China and Brazil than in some developed countries. Besides, the "share" peak occurred after 6 or 7 years, which is similar for the 6 countries.

“…Most of China's OAJs are published independently and are not part of a larger aggregation [16,17]. Although the gap between China and the US in terms of total papers and OA papers has been narrowing, the US still has a greater influence on the academic and societal aspects of OA publishing, and the coverage rates for Chinese OA papers are lower than those for American OA papers in most indexes [18][19][20].…”

This study aims to investigate the attitudes and actions of scientific journal editors in China towards open access. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 Chinese editors from various scientific journals during September and October of 2022. The results indicate that the editors generally possess knowledge of open access and have implemented an appropriate open access model for their respective journals. However, the Chinese-language journal editors expressed a lack of motivation to adopt open access, unless there is a reform in the mechanism of academic publishing or a policy is imposed. On the other hand, the English-language journal editors acknowledged that they have no other choice but to adopt open access. This study helps us learn about Chinese editors’ understanding and attitudes towards open access, the current status of open access in China’s scientific journals, and the mechanisms of academic publishing in China.

Publicação em periódicos científicos é crucial para os esforços de internacionalização de pesquisadores e instituições. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é analisar a internacionalização dos periódicos nos quais publicam os autores vinculados a uma universidade classificada entre as dez melhores do Brasil, com base nos seguintes objetivos específicos: a) identificar os idiomas dos artigos; b) descrever a distribuição dos títulos e editoras; e c) identificar o tipo de acesso dos principais títulos. Este estudo bibliométrico e multidimensional coletou dados na WoS e nos websites dos periódicos. Os resultados mostram que o total de publicações em periódicos dobrou entre 2010 e 2019, com destaque para o crescimento das Social Sciences. No geral, 83% dos artigos são publicados em inglês, sendo que nas Physical Sciences o percentual chega a 96%. A maioria dos artigos é publicada em títulos de editoras comerciais, exceto nas áreas de Ciências Sociais e Humanidades, em que prevalecem as universidades. A editora com maior número de artigos e de periódicos é a Elsevier. O título com maior número de artigos no período é o PLOS One, seguido de vários títulos brasileiros em acesso aberto. A conclusão mostra notável diversidade de comportamento entre as áreas do conhecimento, o que aponta a necessidade de definir claramente o que seria internacionalização para cada uma. O predomínio das editoras comerciais em número de artigos e títulos, lideradas pela Elsevier, mostra a evasão dos registros da ciência pagos com recursos públicos “periféricos” para a guarda de empresas ligadas ao oligopólio das publicações da ciência.
