Citations in the corpus
- A review of the literature on citation impact indicators (2015, background): “Van Leeuwen et al. (2001) and Van Raan et al. (2011) suggest that in a comparative analysis of countries or research institutions publications not written in English should be excluded from the calculation of size-independent indicators.”
- Determinants of citation impact: A comparative analysis of the Global South versus the Global North (2017, background): “These recommendations assume that increasing the impact of cientific publication in the South is an important objective, and Level and Factors What associates with higher citation Article Number of authors Four or more authors Length of the abstract Longer abstract Journal impact factor (JIF) Articl”
- The journal coverage of Web of Science and Scopus: a comparative analysis (2015, background): “More than a decade ago, van Leeuwen et al. (2001) were advising for caution in interpreting bibliometric data in comparative evaluation of national research systems as a consequence of the language biases of the WoS Science Citation Index coverage.”
- The rate of growth in scientific publication and the decline in coverage provided by Science Citation Index (2010, background): “Thorough studies of the problems inherent in the choice of journals covered by SCI have been reported (van Leuwen et al. 2001; Zitt et al. 2003).”
- The Emergence of China as a Leading Nation in Science. Research Policy, 35(1), 2006, 83-104. (2006, background): “Van Leeuwen et al. (2001), for example, have argued that the language bias of the coverage has consequences for international comparisons of national research performance.”
