<p><span> </span><span>It being made public both to act as supplementary data for the paper and in order for other researchers to use these data in their own work potentially contributing to the improvement of current data ecosystems and develop user-friendly, collaborative, robust, and sustainable open data portals.</span></p>
<p><span>***Purpose of the study***</span></p>
<p><span>This paper develops an integrated framework for evaluating OGD portal effectiveness that accommodates user diversity (regardless of their data literacy and language), evaluates collaboration and participation, and the ability of users to explore and understand the data provided through them. </span></p>
<p><span>The framework is validated by applying it to 33 national portals across European Union (EU) and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, as a result of which we rank OGD portals, identify some good practices that lower-performing portals can learn from, and common shortcomings.</span></p>
<p><span>***Methodology***</span></p>
<p><span>(1) systematic literature review to establish a knowledge base and identify frameworks have been used to evaluate OGD portals, we conducted a systematic literature review - Dataset_ Usability_Framework_SLR;</span></p>
<p><span>(2) development of the Integrated Usability Framework for Evaluating Open Government Data Portals, which content is based on the outputs of the first step, along with selected articles of experts in portal design, and an exploratory assessment of the French, Irish, Estonian and Spanish portals - Dataset_Integrated_Usability_Framework;</span></p>
<p><span>(3) data collection, that is a completion of the protocol developed in the previous step by analysing 34 national OGD portals of the EU and GCC countries. When all individual protocols were collected, the total score are calculated using the weighting system. The average scores are calculated for the EU and GCC. The portals are ranked. The top portals (best performers) are determined for each dimension - Dataset_EU_GCC_OGDportal_Usability_results_clustering.</span></p>
<p><span>(4) identification of relationships and patterns among different portals based on their performance metrics as a result of the cluster analysis. By calculating the average dimensional scores of portals from both types of clusters, their performance across multiple dimensions is evaluated - Dataset_EU_GCC_OGDportal_Usability_results_clustering.</span></p>

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
