Does citation context information enhance the validity of citation analysis for measuring research quality? An empirical comparison of peer assessments and enriched citations. Donner, P., Stahlschmidt, S., Haunschild, R., & Bornmann, L. (2025). Does citation context information enhance the validity of citation analysis for measuring research quality? An empirical comparison of peer assessments and enriched citations. Quantitative Science Studies (online first).
Abstract
Since citation context information has entered the Web of Science (Clarivate) in recent years, one wonders whether the legitimacy and soundness of citation analyses for measuring research quality of publications can be improved by considering this information. The legitimacy and soundness of citation analysis can be established by assessing their construct validity. This can be done by studying how citation impact variables relate to generally accepted external validation data, like human expert assessments of research quality.[...]

Alphabetical author order and co-author contributions in mathematics. Donner, P., & Korytkowski, P. (2025). Alphabetical author order and co-author contributions in mathematics. Scientometrics (online first).
Abstract
In this study we investigate the relative contributions of co-authors to publications in mathematics. Mathematics is an interesting case for such research because it is one of only a few scientific disciplines in which alphabetical order of names of co-authors on publications is still the prevailing convention rather than contribution-based order. The study is based on unique data of publicly available author-provided quantitative contribution statements for co-authored papers from applications for habilitation degrees in Poland. [...]

Open Research Tools: Stand und Herausforderungen im Spannungsfeld von Forschungssoftware, Offenheit und digitaler Infrastruktur. Streicher, J., Schütz, M., Blümel, C., & Schniedermann, A. (2025). Open Research Tools: Stand und Herausforderungen im Spannungsfeld von Forschungssoftware, Offenheit und digitaler Infrastruktur. Graz, Wien, Klagenfurt: Joanneum Research.
Abstract
Digital tools, software and related infrastructures are central to modern science and research. With regards to open science, open software tools are becoming increasingly important as they promote and support collaboration, reproducibility and access to resources. Researchers are actively contributing to the development of these “Open Research Tools (ORT)” and are thus helping to shape the digital transformation of the science system. This change is also noticeable in Germany, where the area of research software is gaining increasing importance. The aim of the study is...

Abstract
The DZHW-Panel Study of School Leavers 2012 is part of the DZHW-Panel Study of School Leavers survey series, in which standardized multiple surveys are used to collect information on the post-school careers of school leavers with a (school) higher education entrance qualification. As a rule, several survey waves are conducted at different times before and after the acquisition of the higher education entrance qualification for each year group of persons with a university entrance qualification. Accordingly, this is a combined cohort-panel design. The panel 2012 is the 19th cohort of the study series with currently three waves.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated whether citation context information is able to increase the validity of citation impact analyses to measure research quality compared to simple citation counts. We analyzed the statistical relationships of information extracted from structured citation context data in the Web of Science (Clarivate) such as the placement of citations within specific sections of an article with post-publication peer review quality ratings from Faculty Opinions (H1 connect), used as an external validity criterion for research quality. The study is based on publications in medicine and life sciences. [...]
