A longitudinal panel dataset of NSFC including the total 224,087 sponsored projects is utilized. The distributions of scientific funding across universities and research disciplines are investigated. The inequality of funding distribution is studied through the investigation of Gini coefficient.
The fundamental rules are discovered through the technique of distribution fitting. Abstract Keywords Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Science in Spain, 2008-2012.

ScienceWatch, el portal web de Thomson Reuters que es dedica a l’anàlisi de la productivitat investigadora, ha realitzat un estudi en què s’analitzen els articles d’autoria única. El treball «Single-Author Papers: A Waning Share of Output, But Still Providing the Tools for Progress», constata que, en aquestes tres últimes dècades, s’ha reduït la mitjana d’articles d’autors individuals de documents indexats per Thomson Reuters.
Així, el 1981, en més del 30% dels documents apareix un sol autor, mentre que al 2012, el percentatge s’ha reduït a l’11% (Gràfic 1). Gràfic 1. Percentatge del nombre d’articles d’autoria única (1981-2012) Font: ScienceWatch D’altra banda, cal parar esment en l’article «Multiauthor Papers: Onward and Upward» (2012), en què s’estudien els articles d’autoria múltiple. Gràfic 2. Font: ScienceWatch L’estudi també analiza el progrés en el percentatge d’articles d’autoria única per àmbits de coneixement del període 1981-2012. From bibliometrics to altmetrics. A changing scholarly landscape When future Science Citation Index founder Eugene Garfield first came up with the idea of journal impact factor in 1955, it never occurred to him “that it would one day become the subject of widespread controversy.”1 Today, techniques for measuring scholarly impact—traditionally known as bibliometrics —are well known for generating conflict and concern, particularly as tenure-track scholars reach beyond previously set boundaries of discipline, media, audience, and format.
From the development of more nuanced academic specialties to the influence of blogs and social media, questions about the scope of scholarly impact abound, even as the pressure to measure such impact continues unabated or increases.
