Research Profiling of Gender Studies Based on the Scientometric Indicators.pdf

The application of scientometric indicators is crucial to both research evaluation and the advance of science itself also (Chen & Song, 2017). In keeping with these factors, Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) developed the 'Insightful Integrated Indicators Metrics (i*Metrics)' to calculate scientometric indicators for journal publications and patents. In this study, we investigate the research profiling of gender studies for 11 countries using journal papers published from 1999 to 2017 by KISTI i*Metrics system with 11 indicators.
