Gilbert C FAURE's insight:
ResearchGate has launched its own citation index by extracting citations from documents uploaded to the site and reporting citation counts on article profile pages. Since authors may upload preprints to ResearchGate, it may use these to provide early impact evidence for new papers. This article assesses the whether the number of citations found for recent articles is comparable to other citation indexes using 2675 recently-published library and information science articles. The results show that in March 2017, ResearchGate found less citations than did Google Scholar but more than both Web of Science and Scopus. This held true for the dataset overall and for the six largest journals in it. ResearchGate correlated most strongly with Google Scholar citations, suggesting that ResearchGate is not predominantly tapping a fundamentally different source of data than Google Scholar. Nevertheless, preprint sharing in ResearchGate is substantial enough for authors to take seriously.

Paris, le samedi 29 avril 2017 – Depuis quelques années, la nécessité de protéger et de promouvoir l’intégrité scientifique, notamment dans le cadre de la diffusion de l’information scientifique, a été l’objet de nombreux rapports et résolutions. Il s’agit de lutter tout autant contre les cas de fraudes avérées que contre les pratiques dévoyées, favorisées par certains diktats économiques et académiques. Cependant, de la déclaration d’intention aux actions réelles, il [...]

En France, notre quotidien fait état de nombreuses « innovations » qui sont supposées améliorer notre vie, dynamiser notre économie, faire baisser le chômage. Le monde de l’éducation n’est pas épargné et l’on nous présente des « innovations » censées permettre à tous d’apprendre sur les réseaux numé- riques, or la recherche a montré qu’apprendre sur les réseaux numériques, seul face à son ordinateur, est très complexe et n’est pas possible pour tous. La coopération et la collaboration peuvent-elles être des auxiliaires facilitateurs? En quoi et comment peuvent-elles contribuer à l’innovation pédagogique? Je propose une réflexion sémantique critique de ces différents termes à l’aune de mes travaux et de ma pratique.

Scoop.it is one of few platforms we still use these days. This is a system we use quite a bit. We curate stuff on new media and Scott curates stuff on history and All Out Massive Action.

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:
Progress in science has advanced the development of human society across history, with dramatic revolutions shaped by information theory, genetic cloning, and artificial intelligence, among the many scientific achievements produced in the 20th century. However, the way that science advances itself is much less well-understood. In this work, we study the evolution of scientific development over the past century by presenting an anatomy of 89 million digitalized papers published between 1900 and 2015. We find that science has benefited from the shift from individual work to collaborative effort, with over 90\% of the world-leading innovations generated by collaborations in this century, nearly four times higher than they were in the 1900s. We discover that rather than the frequent myopic- and self-referencing that was common in the early 20th century, modern scientists instead tend to look for literature further back and farther around. Finally, we also observe the globalization of scientific development from 1900 to 2015, including 25-fold and 7-fold increases in international collaborations and citations, respectively, as well as a dramatic decline in the dominant accumulation of citations by the US, the UK, and Germany, from 95\% to 50\% over the same period. Our discoveries are meant to serve as a starter for exploring the visionary ways in which science has developed throughout the past century, generating insight into and an impact upon the current scientific innovations and funding policies.
