- As members of the Distinguished Reviewers Board of Scientometrics and/or as recipients of the Derek de Solla Price Medal, we wish to express our disagreement with the retraction of the paper “Predatory publishing in Scopus: evidence on cross-country differences” co-authored by Vít Macháček and Martin Srholec (Macháček & Srholec, 2021a). The retraction was discussed in the blog Retraction Watch (Oransky, 2021), where important information about the context of the retraction was disclosed, including the pressure exerted by the publisher Frontiers on Scientometrics.

Interactive overlay maps for US patent (USPTO) data based on International Patent Classification (IPC)

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report on the development of an interface to the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that allows for the mapping of patent portfolios as overlays to basemaps constructed from citation relations among all patents contained in this database during the period 1976–2011. Both the interface and the data are in the public domain; the freeware programs VOSViewer and/or Pajek can be used for the visualization. These basemaps and overlays can be generated at both the 3-digit and 4-digit levels of the International Patent Classification (IPC) of the world intellectual Property organization (WIPO). The basemaps can provide a stable mental framework for analysts to follow developments over searches for different years, which can be animated. The full flexibility of the advanced search engines of USPTO are available for generating sets of patents and/or patent applications which can thus be visualized and compared. This instrument allows for addressing questions about technological distance, diversity in portfolios, and animating the developments of both technologies and technological capacities of organizations over time.

Indicator frameworks for fostering open knowledge practices in science and scholarship
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this report is to contribute to the European vision for Open Science (European Commission 2016) by providing the frameworks for understanding and applying science and technology indicators, defined broadly, to enable the transition from the current scientific and scholarly system towards a more open and inclusive configuration of knowledge practices and infrastructures. Indicators for Open Science will greatly influence the form that Open Science takes since they will influence decisions both in science policy and in knowledge generation. The ambition as formulated above by the Competitiveness Council in May 2016 requires specific initiatives to develop the right combination of Open Science policies and practices. This report builds on the earlier report on Next Generation Metrics for Open Science (Wilsdon et al. 2017), the Open Science Policy Platform recommendations on next-generation metrics (Hormia-Poutanen et al. 2017), as well as the Mutual Learning Exercises in a number of European countries (Leonelli 2017a, 2017b). In addition, we have studied the state of the art concerning current tools such as the Open Science Monitor (https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-and-innovation/strategy/goals-research-and-innovation-policy/open-science/open-science-monitor_en) and the emerging European Open Science Cloud (Commission High Level Expert Group on the European Open Science Cloud 2016; Ayris et al. 2016). We have also consulted various stakeholder communities by presenting our draft concepts in presentations at the most relevant conferences regarding open science practices (e.g. ESOF 2018, Nordic Bibliometrics 2018, DEFF 2019).
