    Authorship is commonly used as the basis for the measurement of research productivity. It influences career progression and rewards, making it a valued commodity in a competitive scientific environment. To better understand authorship practices amongst ...
  • The role of handbooks in knowledge creation and diffusion : a case of science and technology studies 

    Milojević, Staša; Sugimoto, Cassidy R.; Larivière, Vincent; Thelwall, Mike; Ding, Ying (Elsevier, 2014-07-09)
    Genre is considered to be an important element in scholarly communication and in the practice of scientific disciplines. However, scientometric studies have typically focused on a single genre, the journal article. The goal of this study is to ...
