Assessing bibliodiversity through reference lists: A text analysis approach.Cruz Romero, R., Stephen, D., & Stahlschmidt, S. (2024).Assessing bibliodiversity through reference lists: A text analysis approach. In STI2024 (Hrsg.), Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators (STI2024) (S. 1-14). Berlin: STI2024. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14045592 Abstract
The presence or absence of publishers in large bibliographic databases highlights tangible and symbolic differences between small and large publishers, underlining their diverging incentive structures. To assess these differences, this contribution explores reference data from small (open access) publishers and their journals in the Web of Science and Scopus. The analysis focuses on references that are not indexed in these databases and examines them from a text-as-data approach. The study frames two dimensions of relevance - visibility and impact - as proxies for assessing the scholarly bibliodiversity represented by small (open access) publishers. |

On the performativity of SDG classifications in large bibliometric databases.Ottaviani, M., & Stahlschmidt, S. (2024).On the performativity of SDG classifications in large bibliometric databases. ArXiv (online first). https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2405.03007 Abstract
This work proposes using the feature of large language models (LLMs) to learn about the "data bias" injected by diverse SDG classifications into bibliometric data by exploring five SDGs. We build a LLM that is fine-tuned in parallel by the diverse SDG classifications inscribed into the databases' SDG classifications. Our results show high sensitivity in model architecture, classified publications, fine-tuning process and natural language generation. The wide arbitrariness at different levels raises concerns about using LLM in research practice. |
