Mapping the impact of papers on various status groups in excellencemapping.net: a new release of the excellence mapping tool based on citation and reader scores

Abstract

In over five years, Bornmann, Stefaner, de Moya Anegon, and Mutz (2014b) and Bornmann, Stefaner, de Moya Anegón, and Mutz (2014c, 2015) have published several releases of the www.excellencemapping.net tool revealing (clusters of) excellent institutions worldwide based on citation data. With the new release, a completely revised tool has been published. It is not only based on citation data (bibliometrics), but also Mendeley data (altmetrics). Thus, the institutional impact measurement of the tool has been expanded by focusing on additional status groups besides researchers such as students and librarians. Furthermore, the visualization of the data has been completely updated by improving the operability for the user and including new features such as institutional profile pages. In this paper, we describe the datasets for the current excellencemapping.net tool and the indicators applied. Furthermore, the underlying statistics for the tool and the use of the web application are explained.

Cancer research in the United Arab Emirates from birth to present: A bibliometric analysis

“…Developed nations accelerate research while sharing knowledge, empowering developing countries to gain experience and access to technology. This united front fosters global advancements in the fight against cancer [ 39 , 42 , 43 ]. Most countries share knowledge regarding cancer research with the UAE.…”

“…Highly cited articles often represent seminal works or breakthrough discoveries with advanced knowledge in their respective fields. The citation count is a commonly used metric to assess the impact and influence of research articles [ 38 , 42 , 49 ]. In this study, with the most citations between 1981 and 2022, Fleshman [ 32 ] had the largest citation count in this study ( Table 3 ), making it the most significant study in the UCR.…”

“…Apoptosis, cell cycle, cisplatin, MCF-7, p53, anticancer, colon cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and DNA damage, and lung cancer are the backbone terms of the green cluster. The research focus of this knowledge domain spotted light on the discovery of new anticancer agents and utilization of in vitro cancer models [ [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] ]. Researchers in UAE have investigated the apoptotic effects of various compounds on cancer cells.…”

GeoAcademy: web platform and algorithm for automatic detection and location of geographic coordinates and toponyms in scientific articles

“…Some of these rankings or bibliometric products have also taken advantage of geolocation to create geographic web applications that show the impact of articles published by each institution on a map, whether they be universities or research-focused institutions. This is the case for Mapping Research Excellence (Bornmann et al, 2021;Mapping Research Excellence, 2022) which is based on Scopus data taken from the SCImago Institutions Ranking (Scimago, 2021), as well as altmetrics whose source is Mendeley. The interface shows a circle for each institution.…”
