Multi-Affiliated Authors Behave Differently across Fields and Host Country Preferences: A Comparison in G7 and BRICS

This paper study author simultaneously engaged in multiple affiliations based on bibliometric data covered in the Web of Science for the 2017-2021 period. Based on the affiliation information in publication records, we propose a general classification for multiple affiliations within-country or cross-country for analyzing authors' behavior in multiple affiliations and preferences of host countries across research fields. We find a decrease in publications led by international multi-affiliated authorship after 2020, and China has shown a falling trend after 2018. More G7 countries are active in fields like Social Sciences, Clinical and Life Sciences. China, India, and Russia are active in physical sciences-related fields. Countries prefer to affiliate with G7 countries, especially in Clinical and Life Sciences. These findings may provide more insights into the understanding of the behavior and productivity of multi-affiliated researchers in the current academic landscape.

Novel utilization of a paper-level classification system for the evaluation of journal impact: An update of the CAS Journal Ranking

Since its first release in 2004, the CAS Journal Ranking, a ranking system of journals based on a citation impact indicator, has been widely used both in selecting journals when submitting manuscripts and conducting research evaluation in China This paper introduces an upgraded version of the CAS Journal Ranking released in 2020 and the corresponding improvements. We will discuss the following improvements: (1) the CWTS paper-level classification system, a fine-grained classification system, utilized for field normalization, (2) the Field Normalized Citation Success Index (FNCSI), an indicator which is robust against not only extremely highly cited publications, but also wrongly assigned document types, and (3) document type difference. In addition, this paper will present part of the ranking results and an interpretation of the features of the FNCSI indicator.

The effect of national and international multiple affiliations on citation impact

Researchers affiliated with multiple institutions are increasingly seen in current scientific environment. In this paper we systematically analyze the multi-affiliated authorship and its effect on citation impact, with focus on the scientific output of research collaboration. By considering the nationality of each institutions, we further differentiate the national multi-affiliated authorship and international multi-affiliated authorship and reveal their different patterns across disciplines and countries. We observe a large share of publications with multi-affiliated authorship (45.6%) in research collaboration, with a larger share of publications containing national multi-affiliated authorship in medicine related and biology related disciplines, and a larger share of publications containing international type in Space Science, Physics and Geosciences. To a country-based view, we distinguish between domestic and foreign multi-affiliated authorship to a specific country. Taking G7 and BRICS countries as samples from different S&T level, we find that the domestic national multi-affiliated authorship relate to more on citation impact for most disciplines of G7 countries, while domestic international multi-affiliated authorships are more positively influential for most BRICS countries.
