Revolutions in science: The proposal of an approach for the identification of most important researchers, institutions, and countries based on Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS)
Lutz Bornmann, Robin Haunschild, Werner Marx
RPYS is a bibliometric method originally introduced in order to reveal the historical roots of research topics or fields. RPYS does not identify the most highly cited papers of the…
Heat Waves -- a hot topic in climate change research
Werner Marx, Robin Haunschild, Lutz Bornmann
Research on heat waves (periods of excessively hot weather, which may be accompanied by high humidity) is a newly emerging research topic within the field of climate change researc…
Discovering seminal works with marker papers
Robin Haunschild, Werner Marx
Bibliometric information retrieval in databases can employ different strategies. Com-monly, queries are performed by searching in title, abstract and/or author keywords (author voc…
Does the public discuss other topics on climate change than researchers? A comparison of explorative networks based on author keywords and hashtags
Robin Haunschild, Loet Leydesdorff, Lutz Bornmann +2
Twitter accounts have already been used in many scientometric studies, but the meaningfulness of the data for societal impact measurements in research evaluation has been questione…
How to identify the roots of broad research topics and fields? The introduction of RPYS sampling using the example of climate change research
Robin Haunschild, Werner Marx, Andreas Thor +1
Since the introduction of the reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS) method and the corresponding program CRExplorer, many studies have been published revealing the histori…
Critical rationalism and the search for standard (field-normalized) indicators in bibliometrics
Lutz Bornmann, Werner Marx
Bibliometrics plays an increasingly important role in research evaluation. However, no gold standard exists for a set of reliable and valid (field-normalized) impact indicators in…
Identifying single influential publications in a research field: New analysis opportunities of the CRExplorer
Andreas Thor, Lutz Bornmann, Werner Marx +1
Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS) has been developed for identifying the cited references (CRs) with the greatest influence in a given paper set (mostly sets of papers…
Algorithmically generated subject categories based on citation relations: An empirical micro study using papers on overall water splitting
Robin Haunschild, Hermann Schier, Werner Marx +1
One important reason for the use of field categorization in bibliometrics is the necessity to make citation impact of papers published in different scientific fields comparable wit…
Which early works are cited most frequently in climate change research literature? A bibliometric approach based on Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy
Werner Marx, Robin Haunschild, Andreas Thor +1
This bibliometric analysis focuses on the general history of climate change research and, more specifically, on the discovery of the greenhouse effect. First, the Reference Publica…
New features of CitedReferencesExplorer (CRExplorer)
Andreas Thor, Werner Marx, Loet Leydesdorff +1
CRExplorer version 1.6.7 was released on July 5, 2016. This version includes the following new features and improvements: Scopus: Using "File" - "Import" - "Scopus", CRExplorer rea…
Referenced Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS) and Algorithmic Historiography: The Bibliometric Reconstruction of András Schubert's Œuvre
Loet Leydesdorff, Lutz Bornmann, Jordan Comins +2
Referenced Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS) was recently introduced as a method to analyze the historical roots of research fields and groups or institutions. RPYS maps the dis…
Introducing CitedReferencesExplorer (CRExplorer): A program for Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy with Cited References Standardization
Andreas Thor, Werner Marx, Loet Leydesdorff +1
We introduce a new tool - the CitedReferencesExplorer (CRExplorer, www.crexplorer.net) - which can be used to disambiguate and analyze the cited references (CRs) of a publication s…
Climate Change Research in View of Bibliometrics
Robin Haunschild, Lutz Bornmann, Werner Marx
This bibliometric study of a large publication set dealing with research on climate change aims at mapping the relevant literature from a bibliometric perspective and presents a mu…
Methods for the generation of normalized citation impact scores in bibliometrics: Which method best reflects the judgements of experts?
Lutz Bornmann, Werner Marx
Evaluative bibliometrics compares the citation impact of researchers, research groups and institutions with each other across time scales and disciplines. Both factors - discipline…
On the causes of subject-specific citation rates in Web of Science
Werner Marx, Lutz Bornmann
It is well known in bibliometrics that the average number of citations per paper differs greatly between the various disciplines. The differing citation culture (in particular the…
Referenced Publication Years Spectroscopy applied to iMetrics: Scientometrics, Journal of Informetrics, and a relevant subset of JASIST
Loet Leydesdorff, Lutz Bornmann, Werner Marx +1
We have developed a (freeware) routine for "referenced publication years spectroscopy" (RPYS) and apply this method to the historiography of "iMetrics," that is, the junction of th…
The Wisdom of Citing Scientists
Lutz Bornmann, Werner Marx
This Brief Communication discusses the benefits of citation analysis in research evaluation based on Galton's "Wisdom of Crowds" (1907). Citations are based on the assessment of ma…
Detecting the historical roots of research fields by reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS)
Werner Marx, Lutz Bornmann, Andreas Barth +1
We introduce the quantitative method named "reference publication year spectroscopy" (RPYS). With this method one can determine the historical roots of research fields and quantify…
The normalization of citation counts based on classification systems
Lutz Bornmann, Werner Marx, Andreas Barth
If we want to assess whether the paper in question has had a particularly high or low citation impact compared to other papers, the standard practice in bibliometrics is to normali…
How to evaluate individual researchers working in the natural and life sciences meaningfully? A proposal of methods based on percentiles of citations
Lutz Bornmann, Werner Marx
Although bibliometrics has been a separate research field for many years, there is still no uniformity in the way bibliometric analyses are applied to individual researchers. There…
The Anna Karenina principle: A concept for the explanation of success in science
