Scientific Productivity, Web Visibility and Citation Patterns in Sixteen Nordic Sociology Departments

Abstract: Science is being published increasingly on the web. In this article, we explore how Nordic sociology is represented on Google Scholar (GS), what its output and impact is, and what factors explain it. Our data consist of faculty in 16 Nordic sociology departments in March 2005. The distribution of their publications and citations is skewed. Thirteen per cent of scholars do not appear on GS, whereas only 15 per cent have more than 5 publications. Of scholars with at least 1 publication ( n = 240), 75 per cent ha… Show more

“…Female researchers are less likely to have publications and citations in Web of Science, and those who are represented in the database have a lower publication and citation count than their male colleagues. The poorer performance of female professors in bibliometric analyses versus their male colleagues corroborates existing findings (Aaltojärvi et al 2008, Kyvik 1996, Puuska 2010, Rauber and Ursprung 2008 for other countries and other fields. However, gender differences as regards citation count, citation count per publication, and h-index (Web of Science) are attributable at least in part to the effect of isolated statistical outliers and lose (some) statistical significance when these are controlled for.…”

“…Papers written by women are cited more often (Long 1992). In Scandinavia, Aaltojärvi et al (2008) analyze the influence of individual and institutional characteristics on citation frequency and web visibility (number of clicks on papers at Google Scholar). In contrast to Long's (1992) findings, articles by men are cited more often whereas web visibility is influenced more by institutional characteristics (Aaltojärvi et al 2008).…”
