Item Exploratory study of a relationship between citation counts and altmetric indicators in open access scholarly papers on occupational safety and health(2020) Sygocki, Witold; Rychlik, MałgorzataTraditional metrics are recognized indicators of impact. However, web communication channels provide scientific community with various new indicators. The main aim of this study is to define the existence of a relationship between citation counts and altmetric mentions in the group of open access scholarly papers. The study was divided into two stages. The first stage was to query the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC) for open access articles in the field of occupational safety and health (N=866). Citation counts were collected for all papers. The second stage of the study involved the use of the Altmetric Explorer. The tool provided altmetric indicators for the papers that were assigned a DOI (N=833). The fact that it collects data using digital identifiers of the documents, makes Altmetric Explorer transparent. Altmetric Explorer collects data from different sources: news mentios, blogs, policy websites, Twitter, patent mentions, peer review mentions, Weibo mentions, Facebook mentions, Wikipedia mentions, Google+ mentions, LinkedIn mentions, Reddit mentions, Pinterest mentions, F1000 mentions, Q&A mentions, video mentions, syllabi mentions, Mendeley readers. The chronological scope of the study covered the years 2013-2019. The data were analyzed using linear regression models. The data were collected on 3th of November, 2019. Analyzed articles collected 3,365 citation counts and 20,273 altmetric indicators. The highest number of indicators was provided by Mendeley – 15,454 and Twitter 4,110. The number of citation counts of OA articles on occupational safety and health was highly dependent on both Mendeley readers and Twitter mentions. Highly significant relationships were as follows: linear regression of Mendeley readers and citations counts: R2 = 24,28%, p < 0,0001, y = 2.080 + 0.1038x, n = 833; linear regression of Twitter mentions and citation counts: R2 = 1,25%, p < 0,0012, y = 3.725 + 0.0460x, n = 832). Conducted analysis revealed that citation counts of open access papers on occupational safety and health are dependent both on Twitter mentions as well as Mendeley readers.Item Online Attention of Scholarly Papers on Psychosocial Hazards - Job Stress, Bullying and Burnout(Edizioni Efesto, 2019) Sygocki, Witold; Rychlik, MałgorzataItem The role of Google Scholar Alerts (GSA) in scientific communication: is there any correlation to altmetric indicators?(2018) Sygocki, Witold; Rychlik, MałgorzataThe aim of this study was to examine whether Google Scholar Alerts (GSA) have a significance for scientific communication. The study was divided into two stages. The first stage was to collect GSA records representing OSH discipline (N=400). GSA were related to articles published in two journals: International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics and Applied Ergonomics which are indexed eg. in Scopus. All articles had DOI assigned. The chronological scope of the study covered December 2016 and 2017. The second stage involved the use of the Altmetric Explorer (http://www.altmeric.com) to check whether the journals having more GSA had more altmetric indicators and whether Twitter mentions and Mendeley readers correlated with GSA. Based on the obtained data, the authors will try to answer the following questions: RQ1. Which journal has more GSA? RQ2. How many GSA are non-active? RQ3. Does a journal having more GSA have more altmetric indicators? RQ4. Does the number of GSA assigned to a particular article correlate with the number of altmetric indicators? RQ5. What, if any, is a significance of GSA in scientific communication?
