PVAF Manager - An Information Management System on Scientific Publication Venues
Abstract
A publication venue authority file stores variations in the names of journals and conferences that publish scientific articles. It is useful in the construction of search tools and data disambiguation, and it is of special interest to agencies funding research and evaluating graduate programs, which use the quality of publication venues as a basis for evaluation of publications of researchers and research groups. However, keeping an updated authority file is not a trivial task. Different names are used to reference a same publication vehicles, sometimes they change their name, new venues emerge regularly and their quality indexes are updated frequently. This paper presents the development of PVAF Manager, a system for managing information about scientific publication venues. It represents the evolution of a previous work, and incorporates features such as the expansion of the publication venue database for all areas of knowledge covered by Qualis Capes, tools for annual updating of bibliometric, option for updating and correcting data, management and collecting of user suggestions. We present the implementation details and an experimental evaluation of the results of the expansion and the quality of the data search method. The results show a good coverage of PVAF in relation to international publication venues and low error rates of the data search method.
