Using R to analyze the InCites (Clarivate) Citation Topics

russian data citation topics benchmarking incites r htmlwidgets

Even the most succesful information tools can not offer all the possible analytical interfaces or visualization patterns. In this post I am using the R and few htmlwidgets to build a UI for benchmarking the universities based on their InCites citation topics (Clarivate).

In December 2020 Clarivate Analytics announced a new InCites feature - the citation topics - developed in collaboration with the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University (NL).

The topics are the clusters derived from the Web of Science citation network. According to the available information:

The hierarchy is also provided, the current version is dated as of 26 Feb 2021.

In this post I will try to use the citation topics to look into 2016-2019 publications of 2 largest Russian universities - Moscow State University and Saint-Petersburg State University.

InCites Built-in Functionality

InCites allows to split the publications (which in our case are the university output) into the sets corresponding to the citation topics of specified level, and analyze it further using an interactive table. So it takes just few clicks to see the most cited or most prolific citation topics of the university (below).

What I am personally missing in InCites is an ability to benchmark few institutions and spot their strong & unique citation topics. Most instruments focus on finding the similarities of the items (collaborators / experts / peer reviewers), but in some cases the institution’s unique R&D features need to be highlighted.

Is it due to Clarivate’s understanding that there can’t be no universal UI, or is this just a part of strategy, but InCites also provides an option to export the underlying publication data, so anyone can take the data and build its own visualization.

Data

In order to analyze the citation topics in 2016-2019 publications of MSU and SPbU, I did the following steps:

The results (see the picture below) were exported on June 5, 2021 in 2 different ways:

  1. as summary (follow the blue mark),

  2. as a dataset of publications with the citation topics (follow the red mark).

Benchmarking by number of topics

Out of 28 757 MSU publications, 3 559 (12%) are not assigned to any topic. For SPbU a number of unassigned articles is a bit higher - 2 465 out of 15 390 (16%).

A part of those articles are not assigned to any citation topic simply because they haveno connections in the Web of Science citation graph. If an article is not cited by other WoS documents and does not refer to any WoS documents, then the clustering algorithms ignore it. But this is not an only explanation, of course.

As a number of unassigned articles is substantially higher for the latest years, one can conclude that they were uploaded into Web of Science after the current citation topics had been calculated. Many of them are likely to be assigned to some topics next year with the topics update. In this post the unassigned articles are ignored.

The picture above tells us that there are 1758 citation topics in 2016-2019 publications of MSU, which is 72% of all existing citation topics. For SPbU there is a lower number of topics - 1466 (60%). Counting only the larger topics (i.e. with at least N publications in 2016-2019) does not change an expected dominance of MSU - as a larger organization MSU produced the publications assigned to a wider range of topics. A number of topics with at least 25 articles for MSU (255) is twice as high as for SPbU (126).

A comparable ratio is observed for the topics with at least 5 articles and low share of the international collaborators - such topics can be regarded as local competences - 503 topics in MSU publications and 263 in SPbU publications. What is surprising that a number of topics with at least 5 publications in 2016-2019 and high international collaboration share (>75%) is a bit higher for SPbU (55) than for MSU (43).

Benchmarking by number of unique topics

The picture above says nothing about how the citation topics present in the publications of 2 universities overlap, and which topics are unique. For convenience I will call the topic “unique”, if it is present in a portfolio of one university (with at least 3 articles) and absent (less than 3 or none articles) in a portfolio of the other. Let’s have a look at such topics in 2016-2019 publications of MSU and SPbU.

Both universities have unique topics - a number of those for MSU is 3x higher and the ratio increases while moving from smaller to larger topics (by number of publications). SPbU has only 3 unique topics with at least 25 publications in 2016-2019, while MSU has 37 such topics.

And here somebody at C-level of the university can barge in: “I say! We are unique in something! Show me those topics”

Hierarchy of Unique Citation Topics

Few designs are really practical in showing the hierarchical structures. When I first saw the Citation Topics, my immediate thought was about sunburstR package. So I tried to use it to visualize a structure of unique citation topics for each university.

A sunburst diagramm shows both an hierarchy of units (nodes) and their sizes (shares). As it is an interactive widget, one can see not only the units and their sizes, but also a cumulative contribution of units to the topics of higher level (by hovering on the sectors). The higher levels (Macro>Meso>) are placed closer to the centre of sunburst diagram. The contribution is recalculated at global level (on hover) or at sub-level (on click). To return to the defaul view, just click the root (central) node.

A suburst diagram below shows the unique citation topics for MSU with more than 10 publications in 2016-2019.

Show code
dtree_msu <- unique_topics %>% 
  filter(univ=="only MSU" & n_pubs > 10) %>% 
  select(level1_label, level2_label, level3_label, size = n_pubs) %>% 
  group_by(level1_label) %>% mutate(ordersize = sum(size)) %>% ungroup() %>% 
  arrange(-ordersize) %>% select(-ordersize)
  
tree_msu <- d3_nest(dtree_msu, value_cols = "size")

sb3_msu <- sund2b(tree_msu, width="85%", rootLabel = "total")

sb3_msu

On hovering over the level 1 sectors one can find out that the almost 25% of publications asssigned to the unique topics of MSU relate to the Macro Topic named 1.Clinical & Life Sciences.

On clicking over this sector one will also find out that its largest Meso Topic is named 1.197 Molecular & Cell Biology - Mitochondria (its share is 10% to the output associated with the Macro Topic, or 2.4% to the total output associated with the unique topics).

Let’s build the similar diagram for SPbU.

Show code
dtree_spbu <- unique_topics %>% 
  filter(univ=="only SPbU" & n_pubs > 10) %>% 
  select(level1_label, level2_label, level3_label, size = n_pubs) %>% 
  group_by(level1_label) %>% mutate(ordersize = sum(size)) %>% ungroup() %>% 
  arrange(-ordersize) %>% select(-ordersize)
  
tree_spbu <- d3_nest(dtree_spbu, value_cols = "size")

sb3_spbu <- sund2b(tree_spbu, width="85%", rootLabel = "total")

sb3_spbu

For SPbU the largest Macro Topic is named 3 Agriculture, Environment & Ecology (24%). The largest Meso Topic under 3 Agriculture, Environment & Ecology is 3.97 Plant Pathology with 30 articles (28.3% contribution to the Marco Level, 6.8% to the total output asssociated with the unique topics).

Further development

It would be great to add more interactivity to the sunburst diagram, e.g. synchronize it to the table and filter the rows by hovering/clicking the sectors so that one could see the underlying publications. Unfortunately, my knowledge of JS scripts is too limited so I can not build such an interaction within the current RMarkdown document.

But there are still some options for client-side (server-free) interactivity. I will use the packages plotly and DT, synced via crosstalk.

Analysis of the Shared Citation Topics

For benchmark analysis I selected the topics for which both universities had at least 25 publications in 2016-2019.

  univ_pubs3 <- univ_pubs2 %>% 
     select(topic, univ, wos_id, jnci, cnci) %>% 
     group_by(topic, univ) %>%
     arrange(-cnci, -jnci) %>%
    # picking up the most impactful article
     mutate(wos_id_max = head(wos_id, 1),
            n_pubs = n_distinct(wos_id),
            cnci_median = median(cnci), 
            jnci_median = median(jnci)
            ) %>%

     filter(wos_id==wos_id_max) %>% 
     group_by(topic) %>% 
     mutate(total_pubs = sum(n_pubs)) %>% 
     ungroup() %>% 
     mutate(univ_share = round(n_pubs/total_pubs, 3))
  
  univ_pubs3 %>% 
    left_join(wos_url) %>% 
    write_excel_csv(datafile)
} else {
  univ_pubs3 <- read_csv(datafile)
}

On the left plot the citation topics are positioned based on the shares of each university into the topic, excluding collaboration. For example, assume MSU produced 15 publications, SPbU - 10, and 5 of those were produced in their collaboration. Then the total number of publications is 20, a share of MSU is (15-5)/20 = 1/2, SPbU is (10-5)/20 = 1/4, and (MSU + SPbU) also 1/4.

On the right plot the citation topics are positioned based on a median value of CNCI (category normalized citation impact) for the associated publications (also excluding the publications produced in their collaboration).
