- Abstract
This research aims to estimate the partnership ability of Scientometrics journal authors based on WoS data from 2001 to 2013 according to the partnership ability index ( ϕ-index). ϕ-index combines the number of co-authors and the times each of them acted as co-authors with a given author exactly the same way as Hirsch's h-index combines the number of publications and their citation rate. This indicator estimates the quality of the writing, stating the author suggests how much ability involved. This research uses the scientometric technique and also a social network analysis approach. For this study a Scientometrics co-authorship map was drawn during 2001-2013. The results of the co-authorship map showed 101 nodes. Centrality measures were estimated and according to the closeness centrality measurement, 56 authors were selected for estimating ϕ-index. The result also showed that Glänzel and Moed ranked the first and second in all 3 centrality measures, respectively. Based on the results of an estimated ϕ-index, Glänzel and Schubert ranked first and second, respectively. This research revealed in detail that, the less scattered the co-authors of an author, the higher ϕ-index.
