JHRS established cooperation with Contrimetrics

Dear readers,

I am glad to announce you that today we signed and agreement with Contrimetric.

What is Contrimetric?

Contrimetric.com appears to be the online presence of Contrimetric, an academic and research support tool designed primarily for the scholarly ecosystem, particularly journal publishers, researchers, and academic institutions. Based on available information, here are the key benefits and features associated with Contrimetric:

1. Enhanced Citation and Research Impact Tracking

Contrimetric is an AI-powered bibliometric enhancement tool that helps track and analyse citation data in ways that go beyond traditional citation counts. It focuses on measuring how individual research articles contribute to broader citation metrics, such as the Journal Impact Factor (JIF). This can provide deeper insight into the influence of specific scholarly works within the academic community. 

2. Improved Discoverability and Visibility of Research

One of the main advantages of Contrimetric is that it aims to increase the visibility of research articles by making citation and engagement data more accessible in real time. This can help journals, authors, and institutions better understand which works are attracting attention and how they are being engaged with across different platforms.

3. Real-Time Metrics and Insights

Unlike traditional bibliometric indicators that may lag behind publication activity, Contrimetric reportedly provides more immediate data on scholarly attention, helping users assess article influence shortly after publication. This improves responsiveness for authors and editors monitoring their work’s reach. 

4. Support for Editors and Editorial Teams

The plugin or backend system serves editorial staff by enabling monitoring and analysis of citation patterns, readership behaviour, and related performance measures. This can support editorial decisions related to promotion, solicitation of submissions, and strategic development of journal portfolios. 

5. Complementary to Traditional Bibliometrics

Contrimetric does not replace conventional metrics but adds value by offering an alternative lens on research impact, emphasizing contribution and engagement metrics rather than simple citation counts. This complements existing frameworks like h-index or Journal Impact Factor with richer, data-driven insights. 

6. Integration with Research Workflows

The platform appears to incorporate features such as ORCID login support and backend dashboards, suggesting it can integrate smoothly with researcher identifiers and existing publishing workflows — potentially making it easier for users to adopt and manage their research analytics.

JHRS Editor-in-Chief

Enhancing the Visibility and Impact of JHRS Publications

Dear Members of the JHRS Editorial Board and Prospective Authors,

We are pleased to inform you that Issue 2, Volume 4 of the Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (JHRS) was officially published on 20th December. The issue is available at the following LINK.

Please note that the submission deadline for the forthcoming issue is 31st January.

I would like to draw your attention to the increasing importance of social media and academic networking platforms in contemporary scientific publishing. A growing body of evidence indicates that articles which are shared, mentioned, cited, and linked across social and scholarly platforms—such as Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Mendeley, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, and similar networks—tend to achieve greater visibility and higher citation rates than those that are not actively disseminated.

I therefore kindly encourage all of you to share and promote your previously published articles in JHRS via your personal and professional online profiles. This can be done very easily: on the right-hand menu of the JHRS website, you will find social media sharing buttons that allow you to disseminate any article of interest with just one click. The entire process takes less than one minute, yet it can have a meaningful impact.

By doing so, you will contribute to:

• increasing the visibility and citation potential of individual JHRS articles,
• strengthening the international reach and scientific impact of the journal, and
• enhancing the overall dissemination of research in the field of health and rehabilitation sciences.

I personally and actively promote numerous JHRS articles through both my personal and journal-related social media accounts, and I strongly believe that collective engagement will further amplify our shared success.

We are also proud to note that JHRS is indexed in several important international databases, including Scopus, EBSCO, ScienceOpen, ERIH PLUS, Hinari and more others.

Finally, we warmly encourage you to consider submitting new manuscripts to JHRS in the near future. We would be honored to receive your scholarly contributions.

Thank you for your continued support and collaboration.

With kind regards,

Editor-in-Chief

Dear colleagues,

There is new citation of JHRS in OpenCitations.

OpenCitations is an independent not-for-profit infrastructure organization for open scholarship dedicated to the publication of open bibliographic and citation data by the use of Semantic Web (Linked Data) technologies. It is also engaged in advocacy for open citations, particularly in its role as a key founding member of the Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC). For administrative convenience, OpenCitations is managed by the Research Centre for Open Scholarly Metadata at the University of Bologna.

OpenCitations espouses fully the founding principles of Open Science. It complies with the FAIR data principles by Force11 that data should be findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable, and it complies with the recommendations of I4OC that citation data in particular should be structured, separable, and open. On the latter topic, OpenCitations has recently published a formal definition of an Open Citation, and has launched a system for globally unique and persistent identifiers (PIDs) for bibliographic citations – Open Citation Identifiers (OCIs).

OpenCitations' involvement in international networks and collaborations, together with the need of identifying and reaching out to new stakeholders to assure OpenCitations' development and sustainability, has made it necessary to define OpenCitations' mission, unique strengths and next developmental steps, summarized in the following publicly available documents: OpenCitations Mission Statement, The Uniqueness of OpenCitations and OpenCitations – Present Status and Future Plans.
