Journal Article: “Data Sources Used in #Bibliometrics 1978–2022: From Proprietary Databases to the Great Wide Open”
Stable pattern with #webofscience and #Scopus
Current emphasis on #opensource
Are we entering the great wide open, or will established proprietary databases remain a dominating source?

Good news for all TATuP authors: We have been indexed in #WebOfScience - retroactively beginning from issue 31/1 (2022)! 🚀🌐
Many thanks to all our reviewers and our publisher oekom verlag for their support! 🙏
L'université de Nantes se désabonne de la base Wiley et du #WebOfScience pour utiliser #OpenAlex et soutenir des initiatives de la #ScienceOuverte dont #PCI et #OpenEdition https://www.univ-nantes.fr/recherche-et-innovation/science-ouverte-et-publications/des-desabonnements-pour-mieux-soutenir-la-science-ouverte
Earlier this week an opinion piece authored by me and a number of great colleagues was published on the @upstream blog. Our piece introduces criteria for innovation-friendly bibliographic databases https://doi.org/10.54900/d3ck1-skq19.
We express our deep concerns about the treatment of @eLife by the #WebOfScience and #Scopus databases. We see this as an example of databases hindering rather than supporting innovation in scholarly communication and research assessment.

Today's haul. Email from @clarivate.com / #WebOfScience to tell me about 17 citations of my work. Only one of the cited papers was mine. The incompetence corrupts science.
Good news at #CNRS Open Science Day:
"CNRS's cancellation of #Scopus subscription will help support its full transition to open, non-commercial model, a point reiterated by Antoine Petit ... 'We will eventually need to stop using commercial databases for bibliometrics and bibliography'. In the meantime CNRS has maintained subscription to Clarivate's #WebOfScience database while free bibliographic databases are being developed like open access not-for-profit solution @OpenAlex."
The #bibliometrics databases #WebofScience and #Scopus "are not global databases of knowledge" but lead to a decrease of epistemic diversity. A call for "a more globally representative, non-profit, community-controlled infrastructure for the global pool of research knowledge" https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/qhvgr
Several researchers contacted us with the question if IRRJ will get an impact factor. We understand that some universities require young researchers to publish in journals with an impact factor, for instance for tenure tracks and other career advancements. IRRJ plans to become a appealing journal for young researchers at such universities too, and we will do our best of be assigned an impact factor. #JIF #WebOfScience

The decision by #WebOfScience "therefore rewards journals for continuing the unhelpful practice of keeping peer review information hidden and unintentionally presenting incomplete and inadequate studies as sound science and punishes those journals that are more transparent."
Bodo Stern at #HHMI is spot on in his assessment of the decision by #WebOfScience to stop indexing @eLife articles: "Rather than helping move scholarly communication forward, Web of Science, by punishing a leader in the field, is in fact holding it back."

How we built a database of preprints https://blog.europepmc.org/2024/11/how-we-built-a-database-of-preprints.html
While #WebOfScience is 'delisting' innovative platforms such as @eLife, #EuropePMC is moving in the opposite direction and is working hard to give maximal visibility to preprints and preprint reviews. Exemplary work!
Right now at the #MetaROR launch at the @aimos conference, Ginny Barbour, Editor-in-Chief of the Medical Journal of Australia, strongly criticizes #WebOfScience for discontinuing full indexing of @eLife.
Important reflections by @eLife on #WebOfScience decision to discontinue full indexing of eLife https://elifesciences.org/inside-elife/c11c6101/the-elife-model-an-update-on-progress-following-changes-in-web-of-science-indexing-status.
"As journals that are partially indexed are not given Impact Factor, we won't receive one when metric is updated in June 2025. This is despite fact that partial feed would only include papers that WoS judges above threshold for inclusion and despite fact that papers we deem below this threshold can subsequently be published in SCIE-indexed journals."
This is how I feel about Web of Science vs. eLife fwiw
It's much bigger than just eLife. Clarivate isn't moving with the times.
Many of the best venues you can publish your research in are now _outside_ of Clarivate's "Master Journal List" 🤷♂️
eLife transitioning into life beyond Clarivate is part of a much wider trend.
