The Use of Bibliometrics to Measure Research Performance in Education Sciences

University–Industry Interaction Trends in the Baltic Sea Region: A Bibliometric Analysis

“…There is ample evidence that one of the suitable methods for quantitative evaluation of the degree of cooperation between universities and industry (Katz & Martin, 1997;Calvert & Patel, 2003;Butcher & Jeffrey, 2005;Diem & Wolter, 2011;Feng et al, 2015) is to estimate the amount of joint scientific publications on the basis of bibliometric analysis using different databases (Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and others). The amount of publications submitted to the database provides a quantitative measure of individual production of researches (Diem & Wolter, 2011), as well as a partial reflection of the science and research collaboration (Calvert & Patel, 2003).…”

Investigating Educational Research Articles (1980-2014) in terms of Bibliometric Indicators

“…For instance, bibliometrics is used to provide quantitative analysis of academic literature (Mishra, 2015). There is various research related to investigation of research performance on the basis of bibliometrics (Diem & Wolter, 2013). It is possible to observe recently conducted studies on the bibliometric measurement of research performance in the literature (For example : Abramo, Cicero & D'Angelo, 2012;Anninos, 2014;Budd & Magnuson, 2010;Davarpanah, 2009;Dees, 2008;Earp, 2010;Milesi, Brown, Hawkley, Dropkin & Schneider, 2014;Pendlebury, 2012;van Aalst, 2010).…”

Number of publications and citation count are the two main bibliometric indicators that are used to measure research performance in the literature (Diem & Wolter, 2013). Bibliometrics, as a method, can be used in order to define contribution levels of journals into literature and also to measure the up-to-dateness of literature of a discipline (Al, Soydal & Yalçın, 2010).…”

“…An article of Diem and Wolter (2013) aimed to investigate the research performance of Swiss researchers in educational sciences using bibliometrics. WOS and Google Scholar were covered as the source of data for this research.…”

“…Various indicators, such as number of publications and citations, were used to measure research performance. In addition they pointed out some difficulties encountered when gathering detailed data related to research papers from WOS and Google Scholar (Diem & Wolter, 2013). Gülgöz, Yedekçioğlu and Yurtsever (2002) studied on Turkey originated publications which were indexed in SSCI between 1970 and 1999.…”
