Version 1: Description

This dataset contains a list of journals that publish data articles, code, software articles and database articles.

The search strategy in DOAJ and Ulrichsweb was the search for the word data in the title of the journals. Acknowledgements: Xaquín Lores Torres for his invaluable help in preparing this dataset.

These indicators monitor scientific outcomes in the form of publications along innovation areas. The insights contained in them may help the understanding of societal challenges, contribute to the emergence of future technological or social innovations, or help to improve enabling conditions. We present the number of scientific peer-reviewed publications in the Web of Science database. Publications represent research activity in specific countries, which in turn makes entrepreneurial activities and investment more likely. Similar publication and investment patterns hint at the presence of learning networks between firms and universities. As we only track English-language publications in Web of Science indexed journals, some increases in publications may be due to the increased pressure to publish in such journals rather than to an actual increase in the productivity of a country’s researchers in the respective field. Countries that put a higher emphasis on publications in their native language may underperform according to these metrics. English-speaking countries or those where English is more dominant are likely to perform better with this metric. Be aware that due to delayed data entries in the original database the values for the last couple of years might be underestimated and could possibly increase over the next years. Have this in mind when working with data from recent years.

This database contains information about books gathered with help of Google Books API. The database contains 7 different tables where 3 of them are only to relate the other tables together. Tables: Books contains 1062 records. Authors contains 1595 records. Categories 109 records. Metadata 37 records. MD5 (GBooks_2015-06-09.sql) = bfd09094d0e123e668b2e58332b1a98b

In order to analyse specific features of data papers, we established a representative sample of data journals, based on lists from the European FOSTER Plus project , the German wiki forschungsdaten.org hosted by the University of Konstanz and two French research organizations.
The complete list consists of 82 data journals, i.e. journals which publish data papers. They represent less than 0,5% of academic and scholarly journals. For each of these 82 data journals, we gathered information about the discipline, the global business model, the publisher, peer reviewing etc. The analysis is partly based on data from ProQuest’s Ulrichsweb database, enriched and completed by information available on the journals’ home pages.
One part of the data journals are presented as “pure” data journals stricto sensu , i.e. journals which publish exclusively or mainly data papers. We identified 28 journals of this category (34%). For each journal, we assessed through direct search on the journals’ homepages (information about the journal, author’s guidelines etc.) the use of identifiers and metadata, the mode of selection and the business model, and we assessed different parameters of the data papers themselves, such as length, structure, linking etc.
The results of this analysis are compared with other research journals (“mixed” data journals) which publish data papers along with regular research articles, in order to identify possible differences between both journal categories, on the level of data papers as well as on the level of the regular research papers. Moreover, the results are discussed against concepts of knowledge organization.

With the phone book era far in the past, database and directory publishers have been forced to transform their business approach, focusing on their digital presence. Despite many publishers rapidly moving away from print services, they are experiencing immovable competition from online search engines and social media platforms within the digital space, negatively affecting revenue growth potential. Industry revenue has been eroding at a CAGR of 4.4% over the past five years and in 2024, a 3.9% drop has led to the industry revenue totaling $4.4 billion. Profit continues to drop in line with revenue, accounting for 4.7% of revenue as publishers invest more in their digital platforms. Interest in printed directories has disappeared as institutional clients and consumers have continued their shift to convenient online resources. Declining demand for print advertising has curbed revenue growth and online revenue has only slightly mitigated this downturn. Though many traditional publishers, such as Yellow Pages, now operate under parent companies with digital resources, directory publishers remain low on the list of options businesses have to choose from in digital advertising. Due to the convenience and connectivity that Facebook and Google services offer, traditional directory publishers have a limited ability to compete. Many providers have rebranded and tailored their services toward client needs, though these efforts have only had a marginal impact on revenue growth. The industry is forecast to decline at an accelerated CAGR of 5.2% over the next five years, reaching an estimated $3.4 billion in 2029, as businesses and consumers continually turn to digital alternatives for information and advertising opportunities. As AI and digital technology innovation expands, social media company products will likely improve at a faster rate than the digital offerings that directory publishers can provide. Though these companies will seek external partnerships to cut costs, they face an uphill battle to boost their visibility and reverse consumer habit trends.

Database of publications, including preprints, reports, conference papers, articles, book chapters and books, examining platform work and the platform economy with gender perspective. Data compiled through Google Scholar to promote the inclusivity of the sources as well as additional materials references in the identified publications. Includes publications in English, Spanish/Catalan, and German. The initial database includes materials published between 2016 and 2023.

This dataset is about book subjects, has 2 rows. and is filtered where the books is Database management on the Sinclair QL. It features 10 columns including book subject, number of authors, number of books, earliest publication date, and latest publication date. The preview is ordered by number of books (descending).

This dataset is about books. It has 1 row and is filtered where the book is Advanced database techniques. It features 7 columns including author, publication date, language, and book publisher.

The dataset has been collected in the frame of the Prac1 of the subject Tipology and Data Life Cycle of the Master's Degree in Data Science of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC).

The dataset contains 25 variables and 52478 records corresponding to books on the GoodReads Best Books Ever list (the larges list on the site).

Original code used to retrieve the dataset can be found on github repository: github.com/scostap/goodreads_bbe_dataset

The data was retrieved in two sets, the first 30000 books and then the remainig 22478. Dates were not parsed and reformated on the second chunk so publishDate and firstPublishDate are representet in a mm/dd/yyyy format for the first 30000 records and Month Day Year for the rest.

Book cover images can be optionally downloaded from the url in the 'coverImg' field. Python code for doing so and an example can be found on the github repo.

Two Datasets: works_published and works_cited for year 2022 from OpenAlex database.Check license https://github.com/ourresearch/openalex-docs/blob/main/license.md "OpenAlex data is made available under the CC0 license. That means it's in the public domain, and free to use in any way you like. We appreciate attribution where it's convenient, but it's not at all necessary. There is one exception: the MAG Format snapshot is released under ODC-BY, as per the original MAG license applied by Microsoft (it reuses their schema). See the LICENSE.txt file in the MAG format snapshot distribution for attribution requirement details."Data Quality Considerations:OpenAlex has improved the accuracy of the data with helps from algorithms and institutions.Our current data quality assessment showed the precision and recall 95%+.The first dataset "works_published", as constructed in the provided sources, refers to the publications authored by individuals affiliated with the University of Arizona (UArizona). The data is retrieved using the OpenAlexR package by querying the OpenAlex database with UArizona's Research Organization Registry (ROR) ID (03m2x1q45) and specific publication date ranges. Key aspects of this dataset:Scope: It contains records of scholarly works associated with UArizona authors, including various publication types such as journals, repositories (like PubMed and arXiv), and others. It is also possible to filter the results to include only "journal" type publications using the primary_location.source.type = "journal" parameter in the oa_fetch function.Temporal Coverage: The sources demonstrate fetching data for specific years (e.g., 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023).Data Retrieval: The process involves using the oa_fetch function from the openalexR package with the entity="works" parameter and specifying the institutions.ror.Data Structure: Each record in this dataset represents a publication and includes various fields. Certain fields are data frames.Usage: This dataset is used as a starting point for various data analyses and data mining.The second dataset "works_cited", refers to scholarly works cited by the publications within the works_published dataset. It is created by extracting the OpenAlex IDs from the $referenced_works field of the works_published data and then using the oa_fetch function to retrieve the full metadata for these cited works. Key aspects of this dataset:Scope: It includes metadata for a wide range of scholarly works that have been cited by UArizona-affiliated publications. This can encompass articles, books, preprints, book chapters, and other types of scholarly outputs.Data Derivation: The dataset is derived from the referenced_works field of the works_published dataset.Data Structure: Each record in this dataset represents a cited work and contains various fields retrieved by the OpenAlex API.The third file (institution_publications.r) is the source code to get the above dataset.Note the code retrieves additional years in addition to 2022.Usage: Both datasets are crucial for performing publication and citation analysis and mining, including:Identifying the most frequently cited works and journals.Analyzing the journal usage and publisher distribution of cited works.Understanding the scholarly landscape influencing UArizona research.Identifying potential resources for library collections based on citation frequency.Investigating the presence and frequency of citations from specific publishers or to specific works.For inquiries regarding the contents of this dataset, please contact the Corresponding Author listed in the README.txt file.

Overview of Dataset

This dataset was developed through a collaboration between Dalhousie University and the University of Montréal. This project aims to help break down the silos in which the two primary target audiences- information science researchers and academic librarians- conduct their research. The Canadian Publications in Library and Information Science dataset makes visible the work that librarians do and allows other Canadian researchers to discover the research of their colleagues.

The dataset contains 1,326 distinct authors, 850 of which were classified as practitioners and 476 as academics. It has a total of 13,775 records out of which 8,230 are authored by at least one academic and 5,740 are authored by at least one practitioner.
