The aim is to show how valid metrics for scientific information and research assessment can be developed and applied and what the main possible pitfalls in this process are. The talk is organized in seven chapters proceeding from the \u2018perspective change\u2019 that scientometrics has undergone in the last decades of the 20th century and the strong interaction between metrics and information retrieval. The first two chapters deal with the use of suitable data sources and the quality and cleanness of data, including data retrieval and subject delineation. The following three chapters deal with methodological issues and are devoted to the explanation of important criteria of soundness of methodology, the discussion of the effect of subject granularity and aggregation level and finally to the extension of traditional indicators towards performance profiles. Special focus is laid on the use of composite indicators, notably in the context of ranking exercises (sixth chapter). The last chapter introduces the challenge of measuring impacts beyond scholarly communication including issues regarding the appropriate integration of data originated from heterogeneous sources.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list justify-center\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/20200428_AFF_Lecture-Series_Glanzel.pdf\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Download Poster<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-underline\">\n    \n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-underline-item\">\n    <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EEP4zXyynuQ\"\n            class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-anchor\"        target=\"_blank\"\n>\n    \n<span class=\"hero__title__subject wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Building reliable bibliometric indicators for measuring research performance (Video)<\/span><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--external-link \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--external-link\"><\/use><\/svg><\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-md\"><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"prof-dr-ludo-waltman\"\n    >\nProf. Dr Ludo Waltman<\/h5>\n\n<p>Deputy Director, Professor of Quantitative Science Studies at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University, The Netherlands<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>12 May 2020 from 17.00 to 19.00<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Remote session<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Research on research: An overview of the landscape and its connections to research policy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Many scientific fields and communities contribute to research on research, ranging from scientometrics, science and technology studies, and higher education studies to science of science, metascience, and many others.

Women remain underrepresented in the scientific workforce and under rewarded for their contributions. This talk will examine multiple layers of gender disparities in science, triangulating data from bibliometric data and social surveys to provide a broader perspective on the gendered nature of scientific communication. Science of science provides a novel lens to evaluate these issues, drawing upon theories from sociology of science and utilizing new developments in scientometrics. The work will examine the contributions to scientific articles, disparities in productivity, and the impact of scientific work. Factors from grant funding to parenting will be examined. The talk will close on a discussion of the science policy implications of this evidence as well as charting a trajectory for science of science that includes issues of justice and equity.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list justify-center\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/20200922_Poster_A3_DGEO_Sugimoto.pdf\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Download Poster<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-underline\">\n    \n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-underline-item\">\n    <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PsWlIpl50OA\"\n            class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-anchor\"        target=\"_blank\"\n>\n    \n<span class=\"hero__title__subject wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">A science of science approach to examining gender disparities in science (Video)<\/span><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--external-link \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--external-link\"><\/use><\/svg><\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-md\"><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"prof-dr-vincent-lariviere\"\n    >\nProf. Dr Vincent Larivi\u00e8re<\/h5>\n\n<p>Professor of Information Science at Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, Canada<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>27 October 2020 from 17.00 to 18.30 (CEST)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Remote session<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Are self-citations a normal feature of knowledge accumulation or a perversion of research evaluation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Science is a cumulative activity, in which past knowledge serves as a foundation for new knowledge. One of the mechanisms through which the cumulative nature of science manifests itself is the act of citing. However, citations are also central to research evaluation, thus creating incentive for researchers to cite their own work. Therefore, such self-citations have been one of the most constant criticism against the use of citation indicators for the measurement of research impact. Using a dataset containing millions of papers and disambiguated authors, this talk will examine the relative importance of self-citations and self-references in the scholarly communication landscape, their relationship with age and gender of authors, as well as their effects on various research evaluation indicators. It will also present the results of a comparison of the content of cited and citing papers, thus making it possible to test whether researchers cite their own work in order to inflate their impact indicators. The talk with conclude with a discussion of the role of self-citations in the research ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-underline\">\n    \n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-underline-item\">\n    <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tDpms5MWJIc\"\n            class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-anchor\"        target=\"_blank\"\n>\n    \n<span class=\"hero__title__subject wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Are self-citations a normal feature of knowledge accumulation or a perversion of research evaluation (Video)<\/span><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--external-link \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--external-link\"><\/use><\/svg><\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"accordion__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion-item\">\n    <h3 class=\"accordion__header\"\n        >\n        <button\n            type=\"button\"\n            id=\"accordion-labelledby-1745ab3f-5144-4cce-9845-0a22a20e5676\"\n            class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n            aria-expanded=\"false\"\n            aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-1745ab3f-5144-4cce-9845-0a22a20e5676\"\n            data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n            data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-1745ab3f-5144-4cce-9845-0a22a20e5676\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                                Programme of the Lectures Series 2021            <\/span>\n\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-1745ab3f-5144-4cce-9845-0a22a20e5676\"\n        class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\"\n        aria-labelledby=\"accordion-labelledby-1745ab3f-5144-4cce-9845-0a22a20e5676\"\n        data-bs-parent=\"[data-reference=&quot;f8a3360b-4952-4569-8976-3a81f8b121d5&quot;]\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"accordion__body \">\n            \n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"prof-dr-marek-kwiek\"\n    >\nProf. Dr Marek Kwiek<\/h5>\n\n<p>Full Professor and Director of the Center for Public Policy Studies, UNESCO Chair in Institutional Research and Higher Education Policy, University of Poznan, Poland<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>24 February 2021 from 17.00 to 18.30 (CEST)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Remote session<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Inequalities in Science: A Study of Major Research Collaboration Types and Their Implications for Academic Careers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>In the highly competitive global science, publications are a major determinant of successful academic careers. Academic reputation comes almost exclusively from publications, just as social stratification in science is largely publication based. Individual scientists make collaboration decisions: choosing team or solo publications? Choosing same-sex or mixed-sex collaborations? Choosing local, national or international collaborations? Past authorship decisions bear on the availability of future external research grants, getting hired or tenured. Research funding agencies and hiring committees may favor publications in top journals, publications written in international collaboration, or single-authored publications. Publishing with scientists of the same gender is easier but does it lead to academic success? Collaboration supports promotion \u2013 but is it national or international collaboration? Finally, in solo research there is no ambiguity in credit allocation, no errors in signals about scientists\u2019 research abilities. All in all, inequalities in science result also from the various collaboration types. We examined (1) local-national-international collaboration, (2) solo-team collaboration, and (3) male-female collaboration of all internationally visible (25,000) Polish university professors based on their 160,000 Scopus-indexed articles. We merged a national registry of 100,000 scientists (with full administrative and biographical data) with the Scopus publication database of 400,000 publications. We examined the propensity to conduct national\/international collaboration, team\/solo research, and same-sex\/mixed sex collaboration across male-dominated, female-dominated, and gender-balanced disciplines. Having an integrated biographical, administrative, publication, and citation database at our disposal (\u201cThe Polish Science Observatory\u201d), we examined the propensity to engage in the various collaboration types and we used several new variables. We draw conclusions from a single-nation context to academic science in general \u2013 and discuss practical implications of our research for academic careers.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list justify-center\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/20210224_Poster_Lecture-Series_Kwiek.pdf\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Download Poster<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-underline\">\n    \n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-underline-item\">\n    <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Dpzeh3xTO5o\"\n            class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-anchor\"        target=\"_blank\"\n>\n    \n<span class=\"hero__title__subject wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Inequalities in Science: A Study of Major Research Collaboration (Video)<\/span><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--external-link \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--external-link\"><\/use><\/svg><\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-md\"><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"prof-dr-dashun-wang\"\n    >\nProf. Dr Dashun Wang<\/h5>\n\n<p>Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at the Kellogg School of Management, and the McCormick School of Engineering, Northwestern University, USA<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>31 March 2021 from 17.00 to 18.30 (CEST)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Remote session<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Initial Progress on the Science of Science<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The increasing availability of large-scale datasets that trace the entirety of the scientific enterprise, have created an unprecedented opportunity to explore scientific production and reward. Parallel developments in data science, network science, and artificial intelligence offer us powerful tools and techniques to make sense of these millions of data points. Together, they tell a complex yet insightful story about how scientific careers unfold, how collaborations contribute to discovery, and how scientific progress emerges through a combination of multiple interconnected factors. These opportunities\u2014and challenges that come with them\u2014have fueled the emergence of a multidisciplinary community of scientists that are united by their goals of understanding science. These practitioners of the science of science use the scientific methods to study themselves, examine projects that work as well as those that fail, quantify the patterns that characterize discovery and invention, and offer lessons to improve science as a whole. In this talk, I\u2019ll highlight some examples of research in this area, hoping to illustrate the promise of science of science as well as its limitations.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list justify-center\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/20210331_Poster_Lecture-Series_Wang.pdf\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Download Poster<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-underline\">\n    \n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-underline-item\">\n    <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7B5pEGqjDz0\"\n            class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-anchor\"        target=\"_blank\"\n>\n    \n<span class=\"hero__title__subject wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Initial Progress on the Science of Science (Video)<\/span><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--external-link \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--external-link\"><\/use><\/svg><\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-md\"><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"prof-dr-dominique-foray\"\n    >\nProf. Dr Dominique Foray<\/h5>\n\n<p>Professor of Economics and Management of Innovations, Ecole polytechnique f\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne, Switzerland<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>28 April 2021 from 17.00 to 18.30 (CEST)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Remote session<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>The phenomenal speed of innovation during the COVID pandemic \u2013 lessons learned from the crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>One year ago, innovation economists predicted that the prospect for inventing or discovering COVID vaccines within a year was totally irrealistic.

They are under pressure to achieve global excellence, satisfy Israeli economic and security needs, and serve Israel\u2019s diverse social groups; they are also required to meet standards of proper governance, while maintaining academic collegial traditions; and they wrestle with Israeli, Jewish, Zionist and Palestinian legacies. This contextual complexity is expressed in the identity practices of Israeli HEOs, namely in the iconographic (logos, campus architecture) and textual (mission statements, website information) expressions of who they are, who they are not, and what they aspire to be. In these ways, Israeli HEOs reflect the challenges and paradoxes of glocal organization, organizations and organizing that are shared by HEOs worldwide, especially by those outside the global core.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list justify-center\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/2021056_Poster_Lecture-Series_Drori-1.pdf\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Download Poster <\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-md\"><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"prof-dr-eva-barlosius\"\n    >\nProf. Dr Eva Barl\u00f6sius<\/h5>\n\n<p>Professor for Macrosociology, Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>30 June 2021 from 17.00 to 18.30 (CEST)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Remote session<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Data Sharing &#8211; variously shaped research practices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Data sharing has become a flourishing topic within the last years. One of the main drivers of this trend are the science-policy programs for enforcing open data. Many of the studies on data sharing are shaped by these programs as they contrast existing practices of using data in research with infrastructural-driven concepts of data sharing. My talk will focus on data sharing practices during the research process, in order to understand their social logic. Therefore, I will analyze these data sharing practices with Max Weber\u2019 terms of \u201csocial action\u201d and \u201csocial relationship\u201d. The empirical basis of my analysis are qualitative interviews with researchers on their handling of self-produced research data.

The one we offer highlights reforms that began after the Civil War and enhanced the incentives and resources the system directs at research. Our story is not one of success by design, but rather of competition leading American colleges to begin to care about research. We draw on agency theory to argue that this led to increasing academic specialization, and in turn, to more precise measures of professors\u2019 research output.
