Abstract :
[fr] Cet article s’intéresse à la visibilité de la littérature scientifique produite par les géographes de l’Université de Liège, à travers des bases de données bibliographiques traditionnelles et du moteur de recherche Google Scholar (GS). La contribution du répertoire institutionnel ORBi pour la meilleure visibilité des références est évalué également.
Une analyse du référencement d’un échantillon de publications par les bases de données commerciales multidisciplinaires, Scopus et WoS, et spécialisée GeoRef, ainsi que par le moteur de recherche GS est effectuée. D’autres facteurs tels que la langue de publication, la distribution entre les domaines des sciences et techniques (ST) et des sciences humaines et sociales (SHS) ont été pris en compte.
Les résultats montrent que la distribution des publications des membres du Département de Géographie entre les types de documents est différente en fonction de l’orientation du sujet vers les ST ou les SHS, même si les articles de périodiques constituent le principal type de publications, quelle que soit la sous-discipline. En SHS, les chapitres et parties de livres ainsi que les articles et communications sont majoritairement en français. Les performances de GS sont supérieures à celles des BD pour notre échantillon de publications des géographes de l'ULiège.
En conclusion, le répertoire institutionnel ORBi contribue incontestablement à améliorer les performances de GS quant au recouvrement de notre échantillon de publications et à donner une meilleure visibilité de la littérature francophone en Géographie. [en] This article firstly examines the visibility of a sample of scientific literature produced by ULiège geographers in the commercial bibliographic databases and the Google Scholar search engine. The role of our institutional repository, ORBi, in the better visibility of references is also assessed.
In our study we analysed the referencing of a sample of publications by the multidisciplinary commercial databases, Scopus and WoS, the specialized GeoRef, and the search engine GS. Factors such as the language of publication, the distribution between S&T and SS&H were also considered in the study.
The results show that the distribution of the publications of the members of the Geography Department between the types of documents is different according to the orientation of the subject towards SS&H or S&T, even if the journal articles constitute the main type of publications, whatever the sub-discipline. In SS&H, the chapters, the parts of books, as well as the articles and communications are mainly in French.
Compared to commercial DBs the performances of GS are superior for our sample of publications.
These findings support the contribution of the ORBi institutional repository to improving GS’s 'performance with regard to the indexing of geographers' publications and to giving better visibility of French-speaking geographic literature.
