8 Oct 2015 | | Abstract: | We compare the visibility and performance of Latin American and Caribbean
(LAC) publications in the Core collection indexes included in the Web of
Science (WoS) -- Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation
Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index -- and the Scielo Citation Index
(SciELO CI) which was integrated into the larger WoS platform in 2014. The
purpose of this comparison is to contribute to our understanding of the
communication of scientific knowledge produced in Latin America and the
Caribbean, and to provide some reflections on the potential benefits of the
articulation of regional indexing exercises into WoS for a better understanding
of geographic and disciplinary contributions. How is the regional level of
ScieLO CI related to the global one of WoS? In WoS, LAC authors are integrated
at the global level in international networks; for example, as postdocs. In
SciELO CI, south-south collaboration is more central, and the focus is shifted
towards social problems. The articulation of SciELO into WoS may improve the
international standardization (for example, of referencing) in the regional
journals, but comes at the price of losing independence of the journal
inclusion criteria. | | Source: | arXiv, 1510.2453 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
