This dataset provides supplementary data extracted and processed from the SCImago Journal Rank portal (2023) and the Scopus Discontinued Titles list (February 2025). It includes journal-level metrics such as SJR and h-index, quartile assignments, and subject category information. The files are intended to support exploratory analysis of citation patterns, disciplinary variations, and structural characteristics of journal evaluation systems. The dataset also contains Python code and visual materials used to examine relationships between prestige metrics and cumulative citation indicators.

Contents:

• Scimago Journal Rank 2023.xlsx – full SJR dataset with quartile and h-index data.
• Q1 journals with h-index below 5 (SJR 2023).xlsx – filtered subset of Q1 journals with low citation impact.
• Relationship between journal h-index and SJR 2023.png – visualization of SJR vs h-index by quartile.
• Scopus Discontinued Titles (Feb 2025) – list of discontinued sources from Scopus used for consistency checks.
• Python script for data processing and visualization.

Conferences are an essential tool for scientific communication. In disciplines such as Computer Science, over 50% of original research results are published in conference proceedings. In this dataset, there is is a list of conference proceedings, categorized Q1 - Q4 by analogy with SJR journal quartiles. We have analyzed the role of conference proceedings in various disciplines and proposed an alternative approach to research evaluation based on conference proceedings and Scimago Journal Rank (SJR). Comparison of the resulting list in Computer Science with the CORE ranking showed a 62% match, as well as an average rank correlation of the distribution by category.

Raw data belonged to the study of use and sharing of raw research data in the Journal Citation Reports' Emergency Medicine Category.

PurposeThere is a general inquisition regarding the monetary value of a research output, as a substantial amount of funding in modern academia is essentially awarded to good research presented in the form of journal articles, conferences papers, performances, compositions, exhibitions, books and book chapters etc., which, eventually leads to another question if the value varies across different disciplines. Answers to these questions will not only assist academics and researchers, but will also help higher education institutions (HEIs) make informed decisions in their administrative and research policies.Design and methodologyTo examine both the questions, we applied the United Kingdom’s recently concluded national research assessment exercise known as the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 as a case study. All the data for this study is sourced from the openly available publications which arose from the digital repositories of REF’s results and HEFCE’s funding allocations.FindingsA world leading output earns between £7504 and £14,639 per year within the REF cycle, whereas an internationally excellent output earns between £1876 and £3659, varying according to their area of research. Secondly, an investigation into the impact rating of 25315 journal articles submitted in five areas of research by UK HEIs and their awarded funding revealed a linear relationship between the percentage of quartile-one journal publications and percentage of 4* outputs in Clinical Medicine, Physics and Psychology/Psychiatry/Neuroscience UoAs, and no relationship was found in the Classics and Anthropology/Development Studies UoAs, due to the fact that most publications in the latter two disciplines are not journal articles.Practical implicationsThe findings provide an indication of the monetary value of a research output, from the perspectives of government funding for research, and also what makes a good output, i.e. whether a relationship exists between good quality output and the source of its publication. The findings may also influence future REF submission strategies in HEIs and ascertain that the impact rating of the journals is not necessarily a reflection of the quality of research in every discipline, and this may have a significant influence on the future of scholarly communications in general.OriginalityAccording to the author’s knowledge, this is the first time an investigation has estimated the monetary value of a good research output.

This dataset represents the alternative approach to research evaluation based on conference proceedings data. It contains data of 171 conference proceedings in 15 subject areas. More than half of the proceedings belong to Computer Science and Engineering. An SJR-based approach allowed us to allocate the conference proceedings into categories Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 by analogy with journal quartiles. We would like to stress the importance of using subject-specific quartiles for conferences because the significance of the same conference in different communities varies. Thus, a conference can belong to several subject areas and can have different quartiles there. Most high-quality conference proceedings are observed in Computer Science and Engineering. It is important to note that the list reflects only non-journal and non-book sources. We have evaluated conference proceedings, not the conferences themselves (exclusively bibliometric data are not enough to assess conferences). Such a quantitative assessment may be a convenient auxiliary tool, but it does not eliminate the need for expert evaluation.

Average submission characteristics of various UoAs.

The project "Stable methodologies to evaluate and measure quality, interoperability, blockchain and reuse of open data in the agricultural field", whose website is https://datause.es/, is a project funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation - State Research Agency, with reference PID2019-105708RB-C22.

Within the framework of the project, a bibliographic search is carried out in all thematic categories of the Web of Science (WoS) related to agriculture and related areas. The search equation included the following categories:

WC = (FOOD SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY OR PLANT SCIENCES OR FORESTRY OR AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING OR AGRONOMY OR HORTICULTURE OR AGRICULTURE DAIRY ANIMAL SCIENCE OR AGRICULTURE MULTIDISCIPLINARY OR AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS POLICY)

This data set shows the distribution of journals and the quartile they occupy in each of the thematic categories in 2019, with the aim of serving researchers in this area and for future data mining.

High Quality Publications (Q1): the number of publications that an institution publishes in the most influential scholarly journals of the world. These are those ranked in the first quartile (25%) in their categories as ordered by SCImago Journal Rank (SJRII) indicator (Miguel, Chinchilla-Rodríguez and Moya-Anegón, 2011; Chinchilla-Rodríguez, Miguel, and Moya-Anegón, 2015). Size-dependent indicator.

HEI’s Q1% and 4*% in anthropology & development studies UoA.

Systematic literature review data. The review was limited to scientific journals specialized in educational technology, rated Q1 in the Journal Citations Reports (JCR) in the analyzed period (2009–2018) with a first-quartile presence percentage of 80% or higher and within the category of Education & Educational Research: Computers & Education (100%), British Journal of Educational Technology (100%) and Internet and Higher Education (80%). The sequence of filters used in SCOPUS was the following: ISSN (...) AND KEY (e-learning)) AND DOCTYPE (ar) AND PUBYEAR > 2008 AND PUBYEAR < 2019.

Metrics and Journals including supplementary material classification sorted by quartile of the JCR “Medicine, General & Internal” category (2019 Science Citation Index Edition)

The SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) is a classification of academic and research-related institutions ranked by a composite indicator that combines three different sets of indicators based on research performance, innovation outputs and societal impact measured by their web visibility. It provides a friendly interface that allows the visualization of any customized ranking from the combination of these three sets of indicators. Additionally, it is possible to compare the trends for individual indicators of up to six institutions. For each large sector it is also possible to obtain distribution charts of the different indicators. For comparative purposes, the value of the composite indicator has been set on a scale of 0 to 100. However the line graphs and bar graphs always represent ranks (lower is better, so the highest values are the worst).
