“…Overall, for RQ2 it could be shown, that there is a correlation between citations and altmetric counts in the two collections, as also shown by Holmberg et al (2019). This is especially true for the TREC PM collection if they are part of a set of documents that have a positive relevance rating and if we compare against the control group of unrated documents.…”

Relevance is a key element for analyzing bibliometrics and information retrieval (IR). In both domains, relevance decisions are discussed theoretically and sometimes evaluated in empirical studies. IR research is often based on test collections for which explicit relevance judgments are made, while bibliometrics is based on implicit relevance signals like citations or other non-traditional quantifiers like altmetrics. While both types of relevance decisions share common concepts, it has not been empirically investigated how they relate to each other on a larger scale. In this work, we compile a new dataset that aligns IR relevance judgments with traditional bibliometric relevance signals (and altmetrics) for life sciences and physics publications. The dataset covers PubMed and arXiv articles, for which relevance judgments are taken from TREC Precision Medicine and iSearch, respectively. It is augmented with bibliometric data from the Web of Science and Altmetrics. Based on the reviewed literature, we outline a mental framework supporting the answers to our research questions. Our empirical analysis shows that bibliometric (implicit) and IR (explicit) relevance signals are correlated. Likewise, there is a high correlation between biblio- and altmetrics, especially for documents with explicit positive relevance judgments. Furthermore, our cross-domain analysis demonstrates the presence of these relations in both research fields.

Open access to scientific results and research data becomes an engine for the successful development of modern science. The article examines popular rankings of world universities: the CWTS Leiden Ranking, the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE Rankings), the QS World University Rankings (QS), the SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) and the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). The objective of the research was to study the ranking methodologies in the ratings under consideration and to determine the place of the openness criteria in them. A comparative analysis of world’s and Russia’s top universities in rankings is provided. The author has made an assessment of the significance of openness indicators in the world rankings, on the basis of which it has been concluded that only two world rankings pay due attention to these ranking criteria. Of those considered, only the evaluation methodologies of the CWTS Leiden Ranking and the SCImago Institutions Rankings take into account a quantitative analysis of open access publications and altmetric impact indicators. The rest of the considered rankings focus mainly on standard bibliometric indicators from different blocks related to the assessment of education, research, academic impact and international cooperation. Thus, in 2019–2022, the University College London (UK) was the top university in the CWTS Leiden Ranking in terms of the share of open access publications (90.8%) and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology was ranked the first among Russian universities (66.6%).

Digital preservation of library materials has increased the need for methods to access the documents and contents maintained in digital archives. The use of altmetrics to quantify the impact of scholarly works, including PlumX, is increasing readership by listing articles in reference services. The outreach from the digital repository ScholarWorks at Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU) highlights the impact within the natural resources community from Digital Commons, Forest Sciences Commons; and from the Natural Products Chemistry and Pharmacognosy Commons. The use of PlumX altmetrics was examined to evaluate usage, impact, and digital audience downloads for the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture (ATCOFA) at SFASU.
