HERSS World

HERSS World Map

Note:

HERSS World Map presents publication activities in HERSS field worldwide. Countries that had collaboration with German institutes have a blue line connecting them to Germany, while those collaborating institutes are presented with blue markers. Click on the markers to show the historical information of each institute and the list of collaborators in Germany and worldwide.

Choosing Overall view shows the HERSS world based on all the data (described in “Summary” section) while choosing Past 10 years limits the scope to the past ten years and presents the recent changes from 2007 to 2017.

Countries on the map are colored according to the number of HERSS organizations (zoom in & click for more info on number of HERSS organizations, Percentage of all HERSS and main collaborating countries). Ties (designated as blue lines) present the aggregated coauthorship ties between countries with Germany.

“Summary” section presents the data used in different sections of this dashboard.

Clicking on each institution’s marker will show the importance of the organization in the subset of German HERSS network (based on normalized degree centrality scaled to 0-1 with 1 showing the highest influence), list of collaborators and historical information on HERSS publications.

Summary

Summary

This dashboard aims to explore the world of Higher Education Research and Science Studies (HERSS). We aim to provide an overview to the key actors in the field. We have also a focus on the research centers and organizations in Germany and their local and international collaborations.

We queried all the publications in 23 most prominent journals in the field (see journals section for the list). By looking at the cities, country of affiliation, higher education institutes and organizations, we tried to see which countries and organizations occupy the key positions.

We extracted all publications (29,898 ranging from 1971 to 2017) from Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science (From the data infrastructure of the German Competence Centre for Bibliometrics) that are published in one of the 23 main journals in HERSS. The list of these journals were extracted from website of Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) of Germany. Data included articles’ title, keywords, abstract, publication year, authors’ names and affiliations, and number of citations received.


Dashboard sections:

  • HERSS World
    1. HERSS World Map: presents the countries’ publications, historical information and main collaborators in HERSS field. It also shows the main organizations that have been collaborating with Germany in HERSS research. It presents the first and last HERSS publication year, importance of each institution in the collaboration network based on normalized degree centrality scaled to 0-1 with 1 showing the highest influence and it provides the list of institutions collaborating in HERSS field. Choosing Past 10 years on the map presents the same information with a specific focus on 10 most recent years (from 2007 - 2017)
    2. Continents/Countries: presents the distribution of HERSS organizations in each continent, country and cities which are sized based on the count of HERSS publications
    3. German Cities: presents the distribution of HERSS organizations in German cities which are sized based on the count of HERSS publications
  • Data
    1. Journals: presents the number of publications in each of 23 main HERSS journals and the earliest and latest HERSS publication years
    2. Top Organizations: presents the 100 most prolific organizations, the earliest and latest HERSS publication years and total number of HERSS publications. In a separate tab it shows the most prolific organizations in the past 10 years.
