“…Using the dataset retrieved with a search for "library science and information science" and filtering to include only the WOS indexed articles from 2007 to 2016, the questions that frame this study include: (Barik & Jena, 2015), open access publishing (Ferreira & Neves, 2014), citation analyses of highly cited articles (Ivanović & Ho, 2016), productivity and research networks (Levitt & Thelwall, 2016), and research output and methods used (Chu, 2015;Hasan & Singh, 2015 us a deeper perspective in our analysis. We acknowledge the value of each of these previous bibliometric studies in providing literature that can help us capture globalized and longitudinal analyses of LIS bibliometric trends, and we will return to this body of literature later in this article as we report our own findings.…”

Ensuring access to published research is increasingly important for demonstrating research impact, supporting wide readership, creating interest in collaboration, and making way for funding opportunities. This article provides a bibliometric analysis of publications from 2007-2016 in the Web of Science (WOS) database to update understanding of recent international library science research as a means of discussing research impact and scientific collaboration. The methodology is a descriptive analysis of publications retrieved from the WOS database using keywords “library science” and WOS-generated subject descriptor “Information Science & Library Science.” Analysis focused on descriptive data related to our research questions including representation of countries, languages, and journals. The findings reveal that most publications are published by researchers with institutional affiliations in the United States and in English. Library and information science research continues to be strong in collaboration, but international and interdisciplinary collaborations are still low in this sample. The dataset reflects that co- and multi-authored publications have the highest WOS citation counts, reinforcing the value of scholarly collaboration. This research provides a baseline to chart future growth in Library Science research publications and collaborations.

“…No caso da China, estudos anteriores apresentam a dificuldade de identificação de periódicos chineses em bases de dados internacionais, o que também ocorre com periódicos editados em outras regiões consideradas periféricas, como é o caso da América Latina (Hasan;Singh, 2015). Entretanto, a política científica chinesa de investimento em pesquisa tem elevado o volume da sua produção em bases de dados internacionais, especialmente na WoS, conforme estudos recentes têm apontado, a ponto de a China ser o país com maior número de artigos (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 2021;Zhao;Pan;Hua, 2021).…”

Resumo Este estudo compara o perfil da publicação científica brasileira e o da chinesa na área de Ciência da Informação indexada na Web of Science. Os objetivos específicos são: (a) levantar o número de artigos publicado por cada país; (b) identificar as características dos periódicos nos quais os artigos são publicados; e (c) identificar a nacionalidade e a tipologia dos publishers que editam os periódicos. A busca na Web of Science resultou em 6.417 artigos de autores vinculados às instituições brasileiras e chinesas, respectivamente, 2005 e 4.412, sendo 29,5% da publicação brasileira em inglês, e a maioria da chinesa (99,9%). Do total de 221 títulos, a produção brasileira é publicada em 99, e a chinesa em 122, majoritariamente via subscrição diferente do modelo de acesso identificado nos artigos: 91% dos chineses via subscrição e 76% dos brasileiros em acesso aberto. A maior concentração dos títulos ocorre na Inglaterra, nos Estados Unidos e na Holanda, com Fator de Impacto inferior a 1. Editoras comerciais publicam a maioria dos artigos chineses (92,3%), enquanto os artigos brasileiros concentram-se em editoras universitárias de acesso aberto (72,3%). Conclui-se que a produção científica em Ciência da Informação brasileira e chinesa na Web of Science apresenta estratégias diversificadas: a brasileira se destaca pela indexação dos periódicos nacionais, publicando artigos em português e em Acesso Aberto, enquanto a chinesa pela publicação em inglês, em periódicos indexados na base e majoritariamente editado por editoras comerciais. Na China, há uma produção mais internacionalizada que a brasileira, porém com maior dependência do sistema por parte da comunidade científica.

“…Ardanuy (2012) adopted a dual strategy to conduct bibliometric research, and analyzed the development status and international collaboration of LIS in Spanish. Hasan and Singh (2015) evaluated the literature growth trends in LIS, based on the output of research publications included in SSCI and AHCI, in order to discover the research topics of this discipline. Figuerola et al (2017) comprehensively used a topic modeling and quantitative analysis to explore the main fields and research trends in LIS from a multidisciplinary perspective.…”

PurposeLibrary science and information science, two subdisciplines of library and information science (LIS), are developed independently but interconnectedly. In this information age, LIS is in a special period of transformation and development, which has caused some changes in both library science and information science. By accurately capturing these changes and analyzing them, the authors can effectively map the development of LIS in the new century, thus providing a reference for the evolution and development of the field. The purposes of this paper are to explore the mainstream research fields and frontiers of library science and information science, respectively, since the new century, and to make a comparative analysis of the two subdisciplines.Design/methodology/approachBy using CiteSpace to visualize LIS journals, this study draws knowledge maps of the two subdisciplines of LIS through the co-occurrence descriptors network. Using burst detection algorithm, this study detects words of high frequency variation by investigating the time frequency distribution.FindingsThe results show that the research focus of library science has experienced a change from traditional to digital library while information science has moved from information to data focus. This study also finds the similarities and differences between mainstream areas of library science and information science.Originality/valueThis study focuses on the evolution of library science and information science, and explores their mainstream research fields and frontiers in the 21st century. These findings will promote the transformation and development of LIS as well as provide research directions for scholars in the field.
