Abstract: 
International academic awards are popular as incentives and rewards for
academics all over the world, and have played a significant role in the
performance evaluations of individuals and institutions. However, little
is known about the relative importance of awards and the relationships
between awards. This study aims to establish a comprehensive global map
of important international academic awards, which visually presents the
relative reputations of awards and the close or distant relationships
between awards. By surveying the reputations of the preselected 207
awards, 90 important international academic awards with above-average
reputations were identified. Then, based on the number of "awardees in
common" or named "co-awardees" between every pair of these 90 awards, a
network of co-awardees was built. Finally, using mapping software of
VOSviewer, these 90 important international academic awards were mapped
by taking the reputation scores as the weights of awards and the network
of co-awardees as the basis of the relationships between awards.

Abstract: 
Detecting intellectual structure of a knowledge domain is valuable to
track the dynamics of scientific research. Formal concept analysis (FCA)
provides a new perspective for knowledge discovery and data mining. In
this paper we introduce a FCA-based approach to detect intellectual
structure of library and information science (LIS). Our approach relies
on the mathematical theory which formulates the understanding of
"concept" as a unit of extension (scholars) and intension (keywords) as
a way of modelling the intellectual structure of a domain. By analyzing
the papers published in sixteen prominent journals of LIS domain from
2001 to 2013, the intellectual structure of LIS in the new century has
been identified and visualized. Nine major research themes of LIS were
detected together with the core keywords and authors to describe each
theme. The significant advantage of our approach is that the
mathematical formulae produce a conceptual structure which automatically
provides generalization and specialization relationships among the
concepts. This provides additional information not available from other
methods, especially when shared interests of authors from different
granularities are also visualized in concept lattice.

Abstract: 
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of
television (TV) content for scholarly purposes. It focuses on: profile
of scholars using TV content; the structure of their need for TV
content; the situations in which scholars need TV content; and their
patterns of use of TV content in each research stage.
Design/methodology/approach - Taylor's four components of the
information use environment has contributed to the development of a
conceptual framework. The data from the use of TV content by 668
scholars were profiled using correspondence analysis and co-word
analysis. Additionally, the data from 15 interviews and content from 240
journal articles were analysed.
Findings - The authors determined that the environment of the scholarly
use of TV content is unique in terms of the scholars' academic domains,
research topics, motivation, and patterns of use. Six academic domains
were identified as having used TV content to a meaningful degree, and
their knowledge structure was presented as a map depicting the scholars'
needs for TV content. Scholars are likely to use TV content when they
deal with timely social and cultural topics, or human behaviour. The
scholars also showed different patterns of use of TV content at each
stage of research.
Originality/value - In this study, TV content was newly examined from
the perspective of an information source for scholarly purposes, and it
was found to be a meaningful source in several domains. This result
extends the knowledge of information sources in scholarly communication
and information services.

Abstract: 
A discipline such as business and management (B&M) is very broad and has
many fields within it, ranging from fairly scientific ones such as
management science or economics to softer ones such as information
systems. There are at least three reasons why it is important to
identify these sub-fields accurately. First, to give insight into the
structure of the subject area and identify perhaps unrecognised
commonalities; second, for the purpose of normalising citation data as
it is well-known that citation rates vary significantly between
different disciplines. And third, because journal rankings and lists
tend to split their classifications into different subjects-for example,
the Association of Business Schools list, which is a standard in the UK,
has 22 different fields. Unfortunately, at the moment these are created
in an ad-hoc manner with no underlying rigour. The purpose of this paper
is to identify possible sub-fields in B&M rigorously based on actual
citation patterns. We have examined 450 journals in B&M, which are
included in the ISI Web of Science and analysed the cross-citation rates
between them enabling us to generate sets of coherent and consistent
sub-fields that minimise the extent to which journals appear in several
categories. Implications and limitations of the analysis are discussed.

Abstract: 
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to identify criteria for and
definitions of disciplinarity, and how they differ between different
types of literature.
Design/methodology/approach - This synthesis is achieved through a
purposive review of three types of literature: explicit
conceptualizations of disciplinarity; narrative histories of
disciplines; and operationalizations of disciplinarity.
Findings - Each angle of discussing disciplinarity presents distinct
criteria. However, there are a few common axes upon which
conceptualizations, disciplinary narratives, and measurements revolve:
communication, social features, topical coherence, and institutions.
Originality/value - There is considerable ambiguity in the concept of a
discipline. This is of particular concern in a heightened assessment
culture, where decisions about funding and resource allocation are often
discipline-dependent (or focussed exclusively on interdisciplinary
endeavors). This work explores the varied nature of disciplinarity and,
through synthesis of the literature, presents a framework of criteria
that can be used to guide science policy makers, scientometricians,
administrators, and others interested in defining, constructing, and
evaluating disciplines.
