This work aims to use a suitable regression model to study a count response random variable, namely, the number of citations of a research paper, that is affected by some explanatory variables. The count variable exhibits substantial variation, as th...

This article examines the resilience and volatility of academic publishing at the University of Maribor (UM) from 2004 to 2023, a period marked by significant economic and policy shifts in Slovenia. Using employment data from UM’s internal reco...

Innovation in science and technology arises from balanced supports for basic research, applied research, and societal implementation. However, changes in Japanese science policy that shifts toward top–down, evaluation-based, and competitive fun...

The literature has shown that neonatal deaths contribute largely to the total number of deaths in children under 5 years of age worldwide and that 39% of all neonatal deaths recorded in 2019 were in Africa. Neonatal conditions (NCs) are the main caus...

Systematic reviews (SRs) reflect the best available evidence for informing vaccination recommendations. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of vaccination-related SRs aiming to uncover research trends. Vaccination-related SRs published from 2...

Scientific disinformation has emerged as a critical challenge at the interface of science and society. This paper examines how false or misleading scientific content proliferates across both social media and traditional media and evaluates strategies...

The Global Quality Score (GQS) is one of the most frequently used tools to evaluate the content quality of online health information. To the author’s knowledge, it is frequently misnamed as the Global Quality Scale, and occasionally secondary s...

This manuscript introduces the Scientific Peer Review Index (SPR-index), a novel metric designed to enhance the H-index by incorporating verified peer review records from the Web of Science database. The SPR-index aims to provide a more comprehensive...

In the context of the rapid evolution of digital technology and the growing demand for user-centered services, the question of how to effectively implement marketing strategies in libraries has become important in research. This article introduces th...

This bibliometric study investigates Open Access (OA) publication and citation trends in Austria, Israel, and Mexico from 2010 to 2020—three countries with comparable research output but differing OA infrastructures. (1) Background: The study examine...

Numerous papers have demonstrated that by using a varying coefficients model (VCM), researchers can unveil patterns of interactions between variables that could otherwise remain hidden if using the more popular regression model with an interaction te...

The scientific literature is expanding at an unprecedented pace, making it increasingly difficult for researchers, students, and professionals to extract relevant insights efficiently. Traditional academic publishing offers static, one-size-fits-all...

The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between publisher volume—the number of journals a publisher produces—and journal publishing patterns in Scopus, including various journal metrics such as the h-index, SCImago Jour...

This study analyzes the impact of different Open Access (OA) publication models in engineering, comparing journals that charge Article Processing Charges (APCs) with those operating under the Diamond OA model. A total of 757 engineering OA journals,...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play a key role in the process of contemporary environmental monitoring, enabling more frequent and detailed observations of various environmental parameters. With the rapid growth of scientific publications on this to...

This study evaluates the efficiency and accuracy of Generative AI (GAI) tools, specifically ChatGPT and Gemini, in comparison with traditional academic databases for industrial engineering research. It was conducted in two phases. First, a survey was...
