He got his doctor degree both in Mathematics (Leuven University) and Library and Information Science (Antwerp University). He is the Recipient of the Price of the Belgian Academy of Science (1979), and the recipient of the Derek J. de Solla Price award for scientometrics (2001). He is the co-editor of the Journal of Data and Information Science (JDIS), and the member of the editorial board of Journal of Informetrics, Scientometrics, etc. He is a highly cited researcher (Thomson Reuters) = top 1% in the field of Informetrics. He has an h-index of 28 and a total of 218 publications in the Web of Science, among which 74 are written with Chinese colleagues.
內容介紹：
The most-cited papers of the 21st century: The aim of the paper presented in this talk is to collect the most-cited articles of the twenty-first century and to study how this group changed over time. Here the term “most-cited” is operationalized by considering yearly h-cores in the Web of Science. These h-cores are analyzed in terms of authors, research areas, countries, institutions, journals and average number of authors per paper. We only consider publications of article or proceedings type. The research of some of the more prolific authors is on genetics and genomes published in multidisciplinary journals, such as Nature and Science, while the results show that writing a software tool for crystallography or molecular biology may help collecting large numbers of citations. English is the language of all articles in any h-core. The core institutions are largely those best placed in most rankings of world universities. Some attention is given on the relation between h-core articles and the information sciences. We further introduce the notions of h-core scores and h-core score per publication, leading to new rankings of countries. We conclude by stating that the notions of h-cores and h-core scores provide a new perspective on leading countries, articles and scientists. Being metric-wise: After a short introduction on indicators in general we recall the notion of the h-index and related indicators. Then we focus on the Journal Impact Factor and show that there are severe problems with this indicator. Next we follow Seglen and show why this indicator should certainly not be used for research evaluation of individuals. We recall the contents of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and continue by providing an overview of the Leiden Manifesto, dealing with the proper use of research indicators. In this way we hope to contribute to the metric-wiseness of our colleagues.
