This creates major visibility and assessment gaps for countries with substantial local scholarly output. In Armenia, where only a small proportion of domestic journals are indexed… https://www.jrnls.org/jsres/15/3/802 https://www.jrnls.org/jsres/15/3/802 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT Razieh Mehdizadeh-Maraghi, Abbas Harati, Fatemeh Torabi, Arezoo Farhadi, Sirous Panahi Journal of Scientometric Research Scholarly journal quality is essential for research integrity, editorial transparency, and the effective dissemination of scientific knowledge; however, conventional scientometric indicators provide limited insight into editorial practices, website quality, and compliance with publishing standards. This study aimed to propose and apply a multidimensional web-based assessment framework to evaluate journal quality using Iranian medical journals as a case study.

We conceptualize academic coauthorship as an evolutionary game shaped by institutional incentives, competition, and hidden conflicts of interest. Large-scale scientometric analysis, game-theoretic reasoning, and agent-based modeling are combined to investigate strategic publication behavior.… https://www.jrnls.org/jsres/15/3/973 https://www.jrnls.org/jsres/15/3/973 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT Xin Lan, Zhilan Yang Journal of Scientometric Research Empathy and sympathy have been widely recognized as core antecedents of prosocial behavior. However, prior literature has treated the two constructs inconsistently, with sympathy frequently subsumed under an overly broad and ill - defined conceptualization of empathy. This conceptual overlap has limited discriminant operationalization, hindered cumulative theoretical development, and consequently constrained applied precision in interdisciplinary contexts. The present study examined whether… https://www.jrnls.org/jsres/15/3/991 https://www.jrnls.org/jsres/15/3/991 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT Mochamad Imron Azami, Slamet Setiawan, Ahmad Munir, Ririn Pusparini, Kinanti Resmi Hayati, Rida Fahas Journal of Scientometric Research English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has experienced significant interdisciplinary growth since the 1960s, yet it remains paradoxically marginalised within mainstream English Language Teaching (ELT) frameworks. This hybrid systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis investigates the expansion of ESP across academic disciplines, its degree of integration into ELT programs, and the underlying factors contributing to its ongoing peripheral status.
