A Scientometric Approach to Determine and Analyze Productivity, Impact and Topics Based upon Personal Publication Lists

With the aim of an empirical scientometric case study of information science
institutes in Graz (Austria), a publication analysis was held based on the
methodological approach of Friedländer (2014) and Hilbert et al. (2015),
namely the use of comprehensive (personal or institutional) publication lists
instead of applying data from commercial information services (like Web of
Science, Scopus or Google Scholar). We determined and analyzed the
publications for three institutes in Graz in terms of their productivity (publication
output), impact (coverage and citation count) and topics (based on the
publication’s titles).
