Ludo WaltmanGreat talk by @neesjanvaneck showing some preliminary outcomes of the new open edition of the @cwts #LeidenRanking, to be released in January 2024 based on @OpenAlex data.
Many thanks to #SIRIS and #SciLake for the invitation to talk at their event!
#SIRIS Academic is now fully owned by a not-for-profit foundation, the #SIRIS foundation https://www.sirisacademic.com/blog/siris-academic-is-now-fully-owned-by-a-not-for-profit-foundation-the-siris-foundation.
Congrats to the #SIRIS colleagues for taking this bold step!
Craig Aaen StockdaleAgain, here is another paper demonstrating that tools for mapping research papers to the sustainable development goals (#SDGs) marketed by #Elsevier, #STRINGS, #SIRIS, and #Dimensions simply don't agree with each other. Think about that when Times Higher Education next ranks you on its #impact #ranking using "data" supplied by Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_00215
comparison of different methods of identifying publications related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Case study of SDG 13—Climate Action
Abstract. As sustainability becomes an increasing priority throughout global society, academic and research institutions are assessed on their contribution to relevant research publications. This study compares four methods of identifying research publications related to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13—Climate Action (SDG 13). The four methods (Elsevier, STRINGS, SIRIS, and Dimensions) have each developed search strings with the help of subject matter experts, which are then enhanced through distinct methods to produce a final set of publications. Our analysis showed that the methods produced comparable quantities of publications but with little overlap between them. We visualized some difference in topic focus between the methods and drew links with the search strategies used. Differences between publications retrieved are likely to come from subjective interpretation of the goals, keyword selection, operationalizing search strategies, AI enhancements, and selection of bibliographic database. Each of the elements warrants deeper investigation to understand their role in identifying SDG-related research. Before choosing any method to assess the research contribution to SDGs, end users of SDG data should carefully consider their interpretation of the goal and determine which of the available methods produces the closest data set. Meanwhile, data providers might customize their methods for varying interpretations of the SDGs.

Los gobiernos que integran la OTAN deben preguntarse por qué han llevado tan lejos la confrontación con Rusia, entre otras cosas, con la expansión hacia el este de la alianza militar, la promoción de revoluciones de colores y el apoyo a las fuerzas de extrema derecha. También deben preguntarse por qué cada vez más actores […]
