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
Digitale Werkzeuge, Software und damit verbundene Infrastrukturen sind zentral für die moderne Wissenschaft. Mit Blick auf eine offene Wissenschaft (Open Science) gewinnen offene Software-Werkzeuge oder „Tools“ zunehmend an Bedeutung, da sie die Zusammenarbeit, die Reproduzierbarkeit und den Zugang zu Ressourcen fördern und unterstützen. Forschende tragen aktiv zur Entwicklung dieser „Open Research Tools (ORT)“ bei und gestalten damit die digitale Transformation des Wissenschaftssystems mit. Auch in Deutschland ist dieser Wandel spürbar, wobei hier der Bereich Forschungssoftware an Bedeutung gewinnt. Ziel der Studie ist es,...

Abstract
Das DZHW-Studienberechtigtenpanel 2012 ist Teil der DZHW-Studienberechtigtenbefragungsreihe, in der anhand von standardisierten Mehrfachbefragungen Informationen zu den nachschulischen Werdegängen von Schulabgänger*innen mit (schulischer) Hochschulzugangsberechtigung erfasst werden. In der Regel werden für jeden Studienberechtigtenjahrgang mehrere Befragungswellen zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten vor und nach Erwerb der Hochschulzugangsberechtigung durchgeführt. Demnach handelt es sich um ein kombiniertes Kohorten-Panel-Design. Beim Studienberechtigtenpanel 2012 handelt es sich um die 19. Kohorte der Studienreihe mit aktuell drei Wellen.

Are citation context information stronger related to peer ratings than citation counts? A descriptive analysis. Donner, P., Stahlschmidt, S., Haunschild, R., & Bornmann, L. (2025). Are citation context information stronger related to peer ratings than citation counts? A descriptive analysis. In S. Sargsyan, W. Glänzel, & G.

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. [...]
