      Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and its journal ranking in terms of impact factor are highly influential in research evaluation. Comparisons of impact factor are valuable only when journals are of the same subject. However, a particular JCR subject category, Information Science and Library Science (IS–LS), combines two different study fields, namely Management Information Systems (MIS) and Library and Information Science (LIS). The combination of these subjects in a single category has caused the undesirable suppression of LIS journals in annual rankings. This study used papers and citation data from 88 IS–LS journals published between 2005 and 2014 to study subfield differences between MIS and LIS and their impact factor performances over 10 years. The study further examined the subfield differences within LIS, examining the differences and performances of library science, information science, and scientometric research. The results indicate that MIS and LIS are considerably different in terms of publishing and citation characteristics, cited subjects, and author affiliations. Moreover, significant differences were observed among LIS subfields. Furthermore, the results suggested that MIS and LIS pertain to two different research communities. Stakeholders must consider this difference and allow reasonable subfield differentiation and rank adjustment when using JCR for constructive research evaluations. Read less

      The aim of this paper is to extend the conversation about the correlation between collaboration and citation impact in articles in Information Science & Library Science journals by analyzing this correlation’s behavior using a power scaling law approach. 28,131 articles that received 215,693 citations were analyzed. The number of these articles that were published through collaboration accounts for 69%. In general, the scaling exponent of multi-authored articles, both international and domestic, increases over time while the exponent of single-authored papers decreases. The citation impact and collaboration patterns exhibit a power law correlation with a scaling exponent of 1.34 ± 0.02. Citations to multi-authored articles increased 2 1.34 or 2.53 times each time the number of multi-authored papers doubled. The Matthew Effect is stronger for multi-authored papers than for single-authored. The scaling exponent for the power law relationship of domestic multi-authored papers was 1.35 ± 0.02. The citations to domestic multi-authored articles increased 2 1.35 or 2.55 times each time the number of domestic multi-authored articles doubled. Contrary to previous studies we found that the Matthew Effect is stronger for domestic multi-authored papers than for international multi-authored ones. Read less

      Both in theory and in practice, Library and Information Science (LIS) are exhibiting a high trend of development. In this work, the growth and aging of literature are applied to make a historical and comprehensive statistical analysis of LIS. A total of 138,658 records spanning 122 years were taken from the SSCI database. The growth and aging curves of LIS have been drawn, supplementing with the driving forces of countries, institutions, and authors to explore the current production situation in the LIS field. According to the findings of this study, Price’s exponential development curve is followed by the increase of literature in LIS. The second phase mentioned by Price, constant exponential growth, is where LIS is right now. It is possible to forecast that LIS will continue to grow exponentially and will eventually become more mature. Based on the Price Index in the LIS discipline, which was roughly 0.348 in 2022, researchers frequently cite new literature. Since LIS is rapidly aging, knowledge updates happen more frequently, which is consistent with the development stage of the LIS discipline. Countries, institutions and authors all exhibit strong power-law distributions in terms of the driving forces. In the field of LIS, the United States is unquestionably the leader. Despite having a relatively late start, China has made rapid progress in the field of LIS, with Wuhan University gaining prominence in the last 3 years, which deserves attention. Read less
