In 2001–2002 the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) initiated an investment in larger research programs, funded over periods of six years. This report evaluates, with emphasis on bibliometric methods, seven of the programs established in the final phase of this initiative. The programs started around 2003–2004, in one case a bit later, and ended around and after 2010.Initially, it can be stated that one of the program's primary effect has been to allow for more than 30 young scientists to contribute to the expansive research area with their dissertations. A number of these PhDs will in due time move to other activities in companies and government agencies and at the same time society's absorptive capacity for new knowledge in the environmental field will be expanded and transformed.This main message of this report concerns the publication production and citation performance of researchers within the above mentioned seven research programs. Papers published by more than 100 researchers are compared with papers published by their international colleagues during the same time period and in the same areas of science. The analysis primarily focuses on those scientific papers the researchers themselves have reported as a result of program-related activities. In addition, analyses have been carried out based on (1) all publications from all program members in the Web of Science database, and (2) on all team member publications similarly indexed in Google Scholar. These latter two studies provide results which basically indicate lower performances than the analysis based on self-reported publications.It is worth noting that remarkably few of the publications specifically mentioned the SEPA as financier in the respective "funding acknowledgements" in the articles.Concerning publication productivity, i.e. production of papers in relation to Nordic reference values, the SEPA funded programs exhibit an activity at levels that would be expected by researchers in these areas. This implicates that the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency is likely to have received results in parity with the resources invested.With respect to the relative citation performance, the outcome was even better, about 50 per cent above international reference levels. Therefore, the impression is generally very good but the evaluation points out that three out of seven programs have weak impact.Concerning the grading of each programme based on self-reported publications: One of the research programs achieved levels equivalent to the highest rating, i.e. Outstanding. Another program reached the level of Excellent. Two programs had a citation score that corresponds to the grade Very Goodand two programs were rated as Good. Finally, one program with low level of activity, did not achieve satisfactory levels, i.e. Insufficient. ; Naturvårdsverket inledde 2001–2002 en satsning på större forskningsprogram, vilka finansierades över en femårsperiod. I denna rapport utvärderas, med tonvikt på bibliometriska metoder, sju av de program som startades i slutfasen av denna programsatsning.Inledningsvis kan konstateras att en huvudsaklig effekt har varit att ge förutsättningar för ett 30-tal nya forskare att med sina avhandlingar bidra till forskningsområdets expansion. I takt med att ett antal av dessa flyttar till andra verksamheter i företag och myndigheter kommer samhällets absorptionsförmåga av ny kunskap inom området att förbättras. Publiceringar i vetenskapliga tidskrifter utgör navet för utvärderingen och de specifika metoder som tillämpas bygger på idén att normalisera antalet artiklar och antalet erhållna citeringar till jämförbara områden. Analysen har i första hand inriktats på de artiklar som forskarna själva, enligt sina slutrapporter (eller motsvarande), redovisat som resultat av programrelaterade aktiviteter. Utöver detta har analyser utförts dels på publiceringar som hänför sig till programandeltagarnas samtliga publiceringar under programperioden dels på de publiceringar som på motsvarande sätt indexerats i Google Scholar. Dessa båda senare undersökningar ger i huvudsak resultat som är något svagare än analysen på basis av egenrapporterade publiceringar.Noterbart är att påfallande få av de publiceringar som programmen uppger vara relaterade till Naturvårdsverkets finansiering har uppgett finansiären i sina tack och tillkännagivanden, dvs. funding acknowledgements. Vad gäller produktivitet, dvs. antalet producerade artiklar i relation till nordiska referensvärden, uppvisar programmen en nivå som ligger i paritet med eller högre än vad som kunde förväntas av forskare inom dessa områden. I klara verba betyder det att Naturvårdsverket fått förhållandevis god utväxling på insatta resurser. Med avseende på citeringsgrad – påverkan på internationella kolleger inom de vetenskapliga nätverken – har utfallet varit likaledes gott om vi ser till den generella nivån. Med en citeringsgrad som uppgår till närmare 50 procent över världsgenomsnittet har Naturvårdsverket finansierat starka forskargrupper även om intrycket dras ned av att tre av sju program har förhållandevis svaga prestationer. Tar vi forskningsprogrammen inrapporterade publikationer till utgångspunkt erhåller vi följande: Ett program uppnår en nivå som motsvarar högsta betyg, dvs. Outstanding. Ett annat program uppnår nivån Excellent och ytterligare två program får betyget Very Good. Vidare har två program en citeringsgrad som motsvarar betyget Good. Slutligen ges ett program, som till följd av låg aktivitet inte når tillfredsställande nivåer, betyget. Insufficient. Betygssättningen bygger på drygt trehundra svenska forskargrupper som varit inbegripna i olika finansieringsprogram för excellens och starka forskningsmiljöer (se nedan sid. 66–67).

Objective: This article describes a bibliometric analysis of articles appearing in the journal Research on Social Work Practice (RSWP). Method: Descriptive and predictive analyses for the sample of 322 articles are presented. Results: The typical RSWP article was 15 pages long, had two authors and 28 references, and was cited for the first time 2 years after publication. The typical article was cited in two different years and for a total of three times during the publication year and six subsequent years. The overall sample of articles received a total of 1,139 citations during the year of publication and subsequent 6 years. Additional subsample analyses are presented. Conclusion: Articles published during RSWP's first decade had an impact.
BACKROUND: Moroccan Physicians in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (MP PMR) seek recognition at the international and national levels through publications. To our knowledge, no bibliometrics have been made to quantify these publications in indexed international journals. The aim of the study is to analyze and quantify the Moroccan Physicians in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation publications in indexed international journals. METHODS AND MATERIEL: Is an observational study, we searched all the articles of the MP PMR published in the PubMed database until December 2019. The number of MP PMR articles was reported by academic academic centers, article type and indexed journal type. RESULTS: We have found 26 articles since the creation of PMR in Morocco. The number of articles is correlated with the number of MP PMR remaining to 75 doctors and especially the ten professors. However, their contribution compared to their colleagues from other countries is promising. Scientific publications were limited to clinical cases in half of the cases. English was the dominant language of the works. Collaboration with foreign PMR was only with the French in 38.46% of cases. Only one French magazine took 34.61% of the works. CONCLUSION: A lot of effort needs to be made by everyone, MP PMR and politicians to improve the quality and quantity of publications, research methodology and medical writing is one way, learning English in is another. Collaboration with other foreign collaborators is a necessity for a better visibility of publications. (www.actabiomedica.it)

Green finance innovation is of essential importance in relation to the development of financial execution ingrained with constructive environmental influences. The change in climate is evidently a major issue which is being faced for foreseeability of the future. Many research articles emphasize emerging trends in association with publishing work attributed to innovations in green finance. This research article scrutinizes thorough evaluation using bibliometric analysis to shed light on the existing landscape and emerging trends in sustainable and green finance. Scopus database is used to collect data on the literature on green innovative finance and green innovation. To analyze the data, this study employed various software programs such as MS Excel and VOS viewer. The findings of this investigation indicate that the finance literature has grown substantially. However, this growth is mainly concentrated in China due to favorable conditions for research in this area. Based on the top 10 journals categorized as A/A* by ABDC, there was a noticeable increase in publications appertaining to green finance innovation in China and the UK. Professor Zhang Dongyang of the Capital University of Economics & Business Beijing, China, is the leading author with 181 publications based on the top 10 journals categorized as A/A* by ABDC. This study presents the latest information on the present state of green finance and innovation globally.

AbstractThe demand for sustainable energy is increasingly urgent to mitigate global warming which has been exacerbated by the extensive use of fossil fuels. Solar energy has attracted global attention as a crucial renewable resource. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis based on publication metrics from the Web of Science database to gain insights into global solar power research. The results indicate a stable global increase in publications on solar power generation and a rise in citations, reflecting growing academic interest. Leading contributors include China, the USA, South Korea, Japan, and India, with the Chinese Academy of Sciences emerging as the most prolific institution. Multidisciplinary Materials Science, Applied Physics, Energy and Fuels, Physical Chemistry, and Nanoscience and Nanotechnology were the most used and promising subject categories. Current hot topics include the systematic analysis of photovoltaic systems, perovskite as a solar cell material, and focusing on stability and flexibility issues arising during photovoltaic-grid integration. This study facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the status and trends in solar power research for researchers, stakeholders, and policy-makers.

Due to developments recently termed as 'audit,' 'evaluation,' or 'metric society,' universities have become subject to ratings and rankings and researchers are evaluated according to standardized quantitative indicators such as their publication output and their personal citation scores. Yet, this development is not only based on the rise of new public management and ideas on 'the return on public or private investment.' It has also profited from ongoing technological developments. Due to a massive increase in digital publishing corresponding with the growing availability of related data bibliometric infrastructures for evaluating science are continuously becoming more differentiated and elaborate. They allow for new ways of using bibliometric data through various easily applicable tools. Furthermore, they also produce new quantities of data due to new possibilities in following the digital traces of scientific publications. In this article, I discuss this development as quantification 2.0. The rise of digital infrastructures for publishing, indexing, and managing scientific publications has not only made bibliometric data become a valuable source for performance assessment. It has triggered an unprecedented growth in bibliometric data production turning freely accessible data about scientific work into edited databases and producing competition for its users. The production of bibliometric data has thus become decoupled from their application. Bibliometric data have turned into a self-serving end while their providers are constantly seeking for new tools to make use of them.
