Insights into SSH Disciplines in European Countries and Quebec
Explore the productivity and structure of outputs in Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) disciplines across European countries and Quebec. This report covers data integration, language patterns of Finnish SSH researchers, and the identification of unique journals used by SSH researchers in seven countries. Gain valuable insights into research trends and publication patterns in the SSH fields.

Productivity and the structure of outputs in various SSH disciplines across European countries and Quebec: STSM Report Janne P l nen Federation of Finnish Learned Societies ENRESSH Meeting Podgorica 7.-8.3.2019
COST-STSM-CA15137-35312 ENRESSH Call Number 3_3 Topic 3.1: Productivity and the structure of outputs in various SSH disciplines across European countries and Quebec. Host: Scholarly Communication Research Group, Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna Period: from 20-01-2019 until 03-02-2019 Grant: EUR 1900 The work consists of two tasks: 1. Integrating the Finnish national publication data 2. Finnish SSH researchers language patterns in journal publishing 3. Creating a list of unique journals 4. Planning topics of study and drafting data and methods description
Integrating the Finnish national publication data Data requirements: 1) a list of unique SSH researchers, 2) a list of unique peer-reviewed journal articles, and 3) a list of pairs of the researcher and article ID s to connect researchers and articles. CSC IT Center for Science provided us, based on a special dataset produced for the Ministry of Education and Culture, the lists of SSH researchers and their publications. 2,464 SSH researchers from 5 out of 14 universities (Hanken, Helsinki, Oulu, Tampere and Turku), of whose FTE in 2011 2012 at least 50 % was allocated to SSH fields. 5,901 peer-reviewed articles in journals published in 2012-2014 from the VIRTA-publication information service. For each publication, the reporting university has indicated the publication type, OECD field of science, and peer review status.
Finnish SSH researchers language patterns Of 2,464 SSH researchers, 76 % publish in only 1 language, 23 % in 2 languages and 1 % in 3 or more languages The results are compared with other European countries in a manuscript being prepared for submission to a peer-reviewed international journal English Local Other 83% 78% 59% 36% 18% 14% 6% 4% 2% Share of journal articles Share of researchers publishing only in Share of researchers publishing once in
Creating a list of unique journals We identified all unique ISSN-codes from journals used by SSH researchers in seven countries and CSC IT Center for Science provided us with the following information registered in the International ISSN Center: ISSN-L ISSN-print ISSN-electronic journal name Publisher Country of Publishing Start year End Year Using this journal data we have identified 18,251 unique journals on the level of all countries.
Planning topics of study We identified six topics to be studied on basis of the dataset: 1. Language patterns in SSH journal publishing across disciplines 2. Gender differences in SSH journal publishing 3. Gender differences of productivity in light of PRFS indicators 4. The selection of SSH journals 5. SSH journals and open access 6. Differences between SSH fields in journal publication patterns We expect research on these topics to result in several presentations and papers in international conferences and peer-reviewed journals.
