Assessing Performance ofMalaysian Scholarly Outputs

2.0

The present report is a continuation from similar reports published yearly by MCC. The report is based on bibliometric approach that was used in studying scholarly communication in the form of journals. Scholarly works, especially journals, are recognized as the primary channel of communication in science. Pritchard (1969, p. 348), for example, had defined bibliometrics as “the application of mathematics and statistical methods to books and other media of communication to shed light on the process of written communication”.

Although bibliometric methods have been extensively used by developed countries to assess their strength and weaknesses in research outputs, similar assessment were also seen as important move by developing countries including Malaysia. Such assessment is needed as research outputs in various fields particularly Science and Technology (S&T) researches continue to be published in the form of articles in scholarly journals. Communicating through this form has always been regarded as a major choice and responsibility by scientists and researchers around the world especially in advanced nations.

2.1 ObjectivesResearch performance in a country is known to be assessed based on scholarly journals publication patterns which also serves as the evidence of a country’s scientific strength. Price (1986) suggested “the total scientific strength is well correlated with the economic wealth for most of the countries of the world” (p. 151). This indicates that there is a direct relation between the number of research produced and the development pace of a country. Thus, the need to assess research performance based on journals publication is vital to Malaysia.

The following are the objectives for the assessment of the performance of Malaysian journal outputs in the year 2015:

To measure the productivity of Malaysian journal outputs at national and

international level.

To report comparison in terms of productivity by national institutions and researchers in

publishing scientific research at national and international level.

To evaluate the level of collaboration among the national researchers and institutions with

their international counterparts

To document the performance of Malaysian journals indexed in MyCite

up to 2015.

2.2 MethodologyThis study applies bibliometric analysis to Malaysian journals output. Bibliometric method relies solely on secondary data. These are the records relating to written communications that are available for examination and analysis, and include citations and source publication details. The data used in bibliometric studies are in the public domain, gathered using unobtrusive methods, and do not involve interactions or interventions with people. The findings from bibliometric studies can illustrate a range of phenomenon related to scholarly communication, including patterns of growth in a field’s literature, characteristics of a field’s communication practices, and citation.

As with previous report in 2013, this report had applied bibliometric analysis on datasets of articles published in Malaysian journals and citations to the articles. These datasets had been used to evaluate publication productivity and its impact.

Productivity is measured by looking at the number of articles or papers being published. Thus, a scientist’s or an author’s productivity is determined by the number of articles the scientist published in a certain period of time. The same goes with institution and country productivity. The number of articles published in a journal reflects the productivity of that journal, in the same manner, the number of articles categorized in a certain discipline, determined the discipline productivity. Collaboration productivity is measured by the number of articles co-published by authors, institutions or countries.

On the other hand, the impact is measured by how many times one article being cited. Several measurements have been laid out to further explain the degree of impact, such as citation counts, 5-year impact, cited half-life, Hirsch index, immediacy index, and journal impact factor. These bibliometrics indicators were explain in details in previous study.

2.2.1 Measurement

2.2.2 Source of dataThe publication and citation data of the Malaysian journal outputs were supplied by Malaysia Citation Centre (MCC), a national agency that provides databases on Malaysian publications which includes scholarly journals. The data on Malaysian journals at international level were extracted from Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, ASEAN Citation Index (ACI) and Islamic World Science Citation Database (ISC). Conversely, the data on Malaysian journal outputs at the national level were extracted from MyJurnal and MyCite.

The following sections will report on the findings based on bibliometrics study that was applied on these sources of data. The presentation in the form of infographic is hoped to be able to clearly represent the performance of Malaysian journal outputs.


This section reports the coverage of journals indexed in MyJurnal and MyCite until December 2015. Comparisons between the coverage of journals in both databases were performed based on the total number of journal titles, disciplines, medium of language, frequency of publications, formats and publishers.

5The Impact Factor (IF), proposed by Eugene Garfield, is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years by the number of published articles in that journal during the previous two years. A higher impact factor generally indicates that the articles in the journal have been cited more as compared to other journals. The journal impact factor can be calculated either yearly or every five years.

4.1 Journal Impact Factor

IF =Number of citations in a given year

Number of source articles in the previous 2 years

Eugene Garfield


The highest impact factor 1.578 was achieved by the International Journal of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering, published by the Universiti Malaysia Pahang. In fact, this is the only journal that has a yearly impact factor (YIF) more than 1.0. The next nearest is 0.656 achieved by the Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, another publication by Universiti Malaysia Pahang. These two (2) journals were also the top two (2) journals for the 5-year impact factors (5-year IF) with the value of 1.171 and 0.959 respectively.

The Hirsch index (h-index), express the journal’s h number of articles that have received at least h citations. It quantifies both journal scientific productivity and scientific impact and it is also applicable to scientists, countries, etc.

Hundred and twenty-four journals managed to earn some values for the journal h-index in MyCite 2015. The range of the value is from 1 to 10.

The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. It indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. The Immediacy Index is calculated by dividing the number of citations to articles published in a given year by the number of articles published in that year. The Immediacy Index tends to discount the advantage of large journals over small ones because it is a per-article average.

However, frequently issued journals may have an advantage because an article published early in the year has a better chance of being cited than one published later in the year. Thus, many publications that publish infrequently or late in the year, have low Immediacy Indexes. The higher the value of immediacy index means the faster the articles in that journal is cited.

Collaboration has been identified in a series of studies as being a crucial factor in bringing together the expertise that resides in different sectors and institutions to enhance outcomes and increase research productivity. Whereas collaborations can be built within one research sector (that is government, university or industry), they are increasingly being grounded in cross-sectoral partnerships; and while they can be undertaken on a national basis, they are increasingly being created on an international scale. Author collaboration is indicated by the number of authors listed in the articles. If there are two authors listed, it means that the collaboration between the two authors existed. The same method used for institutions and country collaborations.

The public universities have engaged a total of 2,184 collaboration worldwide, with 91 countries. The highest collaboration is with the United Kingdom with 286 instances, followed by Indonesia (265), Japan (202), Australia (178), Iran (143), United States (99), Nigeria (93), India (86), Saudi Arabia (81), Bangladesh (55), Iraq (51) and Pakistan (44).

In order to study the dynamic collaboration among the government (G), universities (U) and industries (I), a number of collaboration studies using bibliometric methods employed the triple helix model as a framework. The triple helix has been described by its instigator, Henry Etzkowitz as ‘a spiral model of innovation that captures multiple reciprocal relationships at different points in the process of knowledge capitalization’ (Etzkowitz, 2002, pg. 2). The elements (or research sectors) incorporated in the triple helix are government, university and industry. Etzkowitz (2002) describes the relationship between these three parties as one of relatively equal, yet interdependent, institutional spheres, each of which can overlap and assume the role of the others.

There were 9,378 papers collaborated between the universities (U-U), 896 papers collaborated between universities and government (U-G), 344 papers collaborated between universities and industries (U-I), 151 papers collaborated among the government agencies (G-G), 32 papers collaborated between government agencies and industries, 23 papers collaborated among the industries (I-I) and 25 papers collaborated among the universities, government agencies and industries (U-G-I).

No Malaysian journals that were indexed in WoS are listed in the first Quartile (Q1).Despite the fact, 3 journals were listed in the Q2 followed by another 3 journals in Q3 and 6 journals in Q4. However, there is no information of performance indicators available for Al-Shajarah (indexed in AHCI).

Regarding the publishers of these journals, it could be seen that local publishers consisting of universities’ publication house such as the Universiti of Malaya, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and Universiti Malaysia Sabah remain as the major players in producing these quality journals. One of the journals, the Bulletin of the Malaysian Mathematical Sciences Society, is jointly published by Malaysian Mathematical Sciences Society (professional body and association), Universiti Sains Malaysia (university) and Springer (private or organization). The highest score received by Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health in several of these indicators is associated with Sage Publication Incorporation, which is one of the notable international publishers.
