Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

One important quality measure of a scientific journal is its scope, not just the scientific coverage, but also the geographical impact. In fact, the primary classification system, used to evaluate and grade scientific journals' quality in Brazil, known as Qualis CAPES, when classifying a journal attributes a quality grade A, B or C, and also adds an indication of the journals geographical impact: Local, National or International. This classification system is used by several other institutions, especially by research funding agencies, for instance, CNPq, whose thematic committees use Qualis CAPES classification to quantify the researchers' and Research Groups' productivity. This article discusses several possibilities for geographical impact evaluation and presents the mechanism used by Ambiente e gua -An Interdisciplinary Journal of Applied Science (Ambi-gua) to monitor the extent of its spatial impact.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
