Geographic differences in the uptake of diamond open access and APCs.
This content is not available in the selected language. Geographical and income level analyses have shown that gold OA journals tend to be much more expensive in the Western world and in richer countries compared to other regions where APCs are generally much cheaper and skewed by a minority of expensive journals (Figure 4). Despite […] Read more
The relationship between corresponding authorship and author position.
This content is not available in the selected language. Authorship is a marker of scientific capital and prestige, and corresponding authorship is associated with higher scientific status. Several studies have examined the relationship between corresponding author and author order; however, these studies often focus on small datasets, covering a limited number of research fields or […] Read more
Applying an Intersectional Lens to Author Composition at Women’s Colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Hispanic Serving Institutions in the United States.
This content is not available in the selected language. Our analysis reinforces the overrepresentation of White authors across institution types, even within those with missions or threshold-based criteria that primarily serve a non-White student population. The most striking observation from our institutional analysis was the proportional overrepresentation of White and Asian men and women as […] Read more

A global perspective on social stratification in science
This content is not available in the selected language. To study stratification among scientists, we reconstruct the career-long trajectories of 8.2 million scientists worldwide using 12 bibliometric measures of productivity, geographical mobility, collaboration, and research impact. While most previous studies examined these variables in isolation, we study their relationships using Multiple Correspondence and Cluster Analysis. […] Read more
The Howard-Harvard effect: Institutional reproduction of intersectional inequalities
This content is not available in the selected language. The production of research and faculty in the US higher education system is concentrated within a few institutions. Concentration of research and resources affects minoritized scholars and the topics with which they are disproportionately associated. This paper examines topical alignment between institutions and authors of varying […] Read more
Understanding super-partnerships in scientific collaboration: Evidence from the field of economics
This content is not available in the selected language. Super-partnerships exist between scholars connected within densely-knit collaboration networks. Understanding how such relationships affect scholars’ careers is of great importance. In this paper, focusing on the longitudinal aspects of scientific collaboration, we analyze collaboration profiles from the egocentric perspective and use analytic extreme value thresholds to […] Read more
Examining the quality of the corresponding authorship field in Web of Science and Scopus

However, there are no empirical analyses on the validity of the corresponding authorship metadata in bibliometric databases. This paper looks at differences in the corresponding […] Read more
The decrease in uncited articles and its effect on the concentration of citations
This content is not available in the selected language. Empirical evidence demonstrates that citations received by scholarly publications follow a pattern of preferential attachment, resulting in a power-law distribution. Such asymmetry has sparked significant debate regarding the use of citations for research evaluation. However, a consensus has yet to be established concerning the historical trends […] Read more
