What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Law
  • The Internet
  • Operating system

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Library Hi Tech was organized to reinforce research efforts on Originality, Knowledge management, Social media, Data science and Public relations. The studies in Originality featured incorporate elements of Publishing, Sample (statistics), Data collection and Process (engineering). It deals with Data collection in conjunction with Subject (documents) and similar fields in Information technology, Field (computer science) and Information retrieval.

The field of World Wide Web is the anchor for the Social media studies presented in it. The journal explores topics in Data science which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Topic model, Context (language use), Bibliometrics and Citation. The journal focuses on Public relations but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Promotion (rank) and Scientific communication.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • The provision of patron services in Chinese academic libraries responding to the COVID-19 pandemic (9 citations)
  • Understanding public libraries’ challenges, motivators, and perceptions toward the use of social media for marketing (7 citations)
  • Academic libraries' response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria (6 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in Library Hi Tech (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Michael Seadle (71 papers) absent at the last edition,

  • Eastern Michigan University (26 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 94.31% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 28.57% of all publications and 57.14% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Further Reading and Resources

In order to further develop your knowledge and understanding of the topics and subtopics covered within the journal Library Hi Tech, additional resources can prove invaluable. Exploring various career paths, roles, and responsibilities that link directly to these subjects can also increase the practical application of the theoretical constructs discussed in this academia.
