Citations in the corpus
- A review of theory and practice in scientometrics (2015, background): “There are several reasons for the differential coverage in these databases (Archambault et al., 2006; Larivière et al., 2006; Nederhof, 2006) and we should also note that the problem is not just the publications that are not included, but also that the publications that are included have lower citat”
- The Use of Bibliometrics to Measure Research Performance in Education Sciences (2012, background): “In particular as far as the humanities and social sciences are concerned (and other disciplines such as law), there are additional difficulties involved in measuring the quality of research performance, as publication and citation practices in these areas differ significantly from customary practice”
- The journal coverage of Web of Science and Scopus: a comparative analysis (2015, background): “Consequently, using WoS and Scopus for research evaluation introduces biases that favor Natural Sciences and Engineering as well as Biomedical Research to the detriment of Social Sciences and Arts and Humanities.”
- A review of the literature on citation impact indicators (2015, background): “11 Nederhof (2006) for instance lists the following key differences between SSH research and research in the sciences:”
- Comparing Research Productivity Across Disciplines and Career Stages (2013, background): “Many social scientists publish books and monographs which are often left out in bibliometric studies that consider journal publications as a singular measurement of faculty performance (Bott and Hargens 1991; Archambault et al. 2006; Nederhof 2006).”
- Past performance, peer review and project selection: a case study in the social and behavioral sciences (2009, methodology): “For these fields, the current analysis should be interpreted with even more care (Nederhof, 2006).”
