Research methods in economics and social sciences are evolving with the increasing availability of Internet and Big Data sources of information. As these sources, methods, and applications become more interdisciplinary, the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Research Methods and Analytics (CARMA) is an excellent forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and advances on how emerging research methods and sources are applied to different fields of social sciences as well as to discuss current and future challenges. Keywords: Big Data sources, Web scraping Social media mining, Official Statistics, Internet Econometrics, Digital transformation, global society. 2nd International Conference on Advanced Research Methods and Analytics (CARMA2018)Universitat Politècnica de València, València, 2018 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València I Preface Preface to CARMA2018This volume contains the selected papers of the Second International Conference on Advanced Research Methods and Analytics (CARMA 2018) hosted by the Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain during 12 and 13 July 2018. This second edition consolidated CARMA as a unique forum where Economics and Social Sciences research meets Internet and Big Data. CARMA provided researchers and practitioners with an ideal environment to exchange ideas and advances on how Internet and Big Data sources and methods contribute to overcome challenges in Economics and Social Sciences, as well as on the changes in the society because of the digital transformation.The selection of the scientific program was directed by Maria Rosalia Vicente, who led an international team of 33 scientific committee members representing 28 institutions. Following the call for papers, the conference received 73 paper submissions from all around the globe. All submissions were reviewed by the scientific committee members under a double blind review process. Finally, 40 papers were accepted for oral presentation during the conference. This represents an overall paper acceptance rate of 54%, ensuring a high quality scientific program. It covers a wide range of research topics in Internet and Big Data, including nowcasting people mobility and economic indicators, applications of Big Data methods in retail and finance, using search and social media data, among others.CARMA 2018 also featured two special sessions on "Big Data for Central Banks" and "Using Big Data in Official Statistics," chaired by Juri Marcucci and Gian Luigi Mazzi, respectively. Both sessions gave a complementary institutional perspective on how to use Internet and Big Data sources and methods for public policy and official statistics. The perspective from the private sector was contributed by Norbert Wirth, who talked about "Data Science development at scale" in his keynote speech.

“…The behaviour of researchers in the process of citations, and of publishers who demand the citation of at least one paper of the journal, can lead to stagnation or degeneration in certain areas of knowledge (11,12) .…”

“…So, multi-authorship is also an object of study and analysis in academia. In the calculation of indicators, the list of co-authors carries little importance because they all score equally and there is no way of knowing -other than through the statement of the author -if the other authors participated enough in the study to warrant their inclusion (12) .…”

Objective:To understand the capitalist influence over the production of nursing knowledge according to Brazilian and Portuguese researchers.Method: Descriptive, exploratory, and qualitative research, with 17 research nurses selected using the snowball technique. Data were collected from October 2011 to November 2012 in Brazil and Portugal, by means of semi-structured interviews. We analysed the content of the interviews and produced inferences based in the theoretical assumptions of Gaston Bachelard and the notion of an epistemological obstacle. Results:The results were organised into three categories: Blocks to creativity/innovation and the practice of repetition; Overestimation of the quantitative; and Resistance to rupture. Conclusion:It is necessary to create new ways of assessing scientific literature from a qualitative perspective that allows room for creativity, professional development, and critical and reflective thinking. Solidarity is perceived as an alternative to overcoming the problems caused by the capitalist way of producing knowledge.Keywords: Nursing. Knowledge. Nursing research. Scientific publications indicators. Efficiency. Capitalism. RESUMO Objetivo:Compreender as influências capitalistas na produção do conhecimento em enfermagem na percepção de pesquisadores brasileiros e portugueses.Método: Pesquisa descritiva, exploratória, qualitativa, tendo como participantes 17 enfermeiros pesquisadores selecionados a partir da técnica bola de neve. A coleta dos dados ocorreu entre outubro de 2011 a novembro de 2012 no Brasil e em Portugal a partir da aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Procedeu-se à análise do conteúdo das entrevistas, produzindo inferências embasadas nos pressupostos teóricos de Gaston Bachelard e na noção de obstáculo epistemológico.Resultados: Encontram-se organizados em três categorias: Bloqueio da criatividade/inovação e a prática da repetição; Hipervalorização do quantitativo; e, Resistência à ruptura.Conclusão: É preciso repensar novos modos de avaliação da produção científica em uma perspectiva qualitativa, com espaço à criatividade, à valorização profissional e ao pensamento crítico e reflexivo. A solidariedade é percebida como alternativa para romper com problemas decorrentes do modo capitalista de produzir conhecimento.Palavras-chave: Enfermagem. Conhecimento. Pesquisa em enfermagem. Indicadores de produção científica. Eficiência. Capitalismo.

“…It is the so-called "Matthew effect" [3], meaning that not all relevant sources of an article are referred or, at the same time, other valuable works are ignored. As a recent study reports, approximately 30% of influential sources are typically cited [4]. In addition, the concentration of academic citations is quite strong, and studies estimate that only the top 20% of articles receive approximately 80% of all citations in journals [5].…”

Abstract:The debate about the need to revise metrics that evaluate research excellence has been ongoing for years, and a number of studies have identified important issues that have yet to be addressed. Internet and other technological developments have enabled the collection of richer data and new approaches to research assessment exercises. Open access strongly advocates for maximizing research impact by enhancing seamless accessibility. In addition, new tools and strategies have been used by open access journals and repositories to showcase how science can benefit from free online dissemination. Latest players in the debate include initiatives based on alt-metrics, which enrich the landscape with promising indicators. To start with, the article gives a brief overview of the debate and the role of open access in advancing a new frame to assess science. Next, the work focuses on the strategy that the Spanish National Research Council's repository DIGITAL.CSIC is implementing to collect a rich set of statistics and other metrics that are useful for repository administrators, researchers and the institution alike. A preliminary analysis of data hints at correlations between free dissemination of research through DIGITAL.CSIC and enhanced impact, reusability and sharing of CSIC science on the web.
