Abstract

A recent paper published in European Science Editing (ESE; https://doi.org/10.3897/ese.2023.e102691 ) assessed that journal’s citations in 38 papers published between 2020 and 2022 using Dimensions and Scopus. The rationale for that study was that Dimensions, unlike Scopus, was “free”, and thus a useful substitute for bibliometric analyses, but it is contended herein that the latter claim is not entirely accurate. To complement that analysis, citations of the same 38 papers, as well as 29 papers that had not been analyzed, giving the full complement of 67 papers published in ESE from 2020 to 2022, were reassessed (17 October 2023) using Scopus, Dimensions, and Google Scholar, since the latter is free. In addition, those papers’ attention scores were appreciated from their Altmetrics scores, which were harvested from Dimensions. Although citation trends for the 38 papers were replicated, when the Altmetric scores of the additional 29 papers were also considered, the Altmetric score for ESE increased by 221 from 633 to give a total of 854.
