Fassoulaki : afassoul at otenet.gr TITLE Impact factor bias and proposed adjustments for its determination AUTHOR Fassoulaki A., Papilas K., Paraskeva A, Patris K JOURNAL ACTA ANAESTHESIOLOGICA SCANDINAVICA 46 (7): 902-905 AUG 2002 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 9 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: Background: The impact factor (IF), a qualitative parameter used to evaluate scientific journals, has several flaws. The aim of the study was to evaluate two of its important constraints, journal self-citation and scientific field, and to investigate the potential for improvement. Methods: We studied the five or six highest impact journals from each of seven medical fields: anesthesiology, dermatology, genetics and heredity, immunology, general and internal medicine, ophthalmology and surgery. To correct for journal self-citation, we divided the number of 1998 citations of papers published in 1996 and 1997, minus the self-citations, by the number of papers published in the same period. For inter-field normalization we divided the IF by the mean of the IFs of the upper quartile for the same category of medical field (IF/f(cat) ). Results: For the 36 journals, there was a negative correlation between IF and self-cited and self-citing rates (r (s) = -0.765, P < 0.001 and r (s) = -0.479, P < 0.003, respectively). Self-cited rate is the ratio of a journal's self-citations to the number of times it is cited by all journals including itself. Self-citing rate relates a journal's self-citations to the total references it makes. The IF/f(cat) for the 36 journals are positively correlated with their conventional IF (r (s) = 0.91, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Correcting the IF of the 36 journals for self-citation did not significantly change journal rankings. The adjusted IF/f(cat) to normalize for the scientific field was positively correlated with the conventional IF.

We first determine the degree distribution of a growing network in which nodes are introduced one at a time and attach to an earlier node of degree k with rate A(k) similar to k(gamma). Very different behaviors arise for gamma < 1, gamma = 1., and gamma > 1. We also analyze the degree distribution of a heterogeneous network, the joint age-degree distribution, the correlation between degrees of neighboring nodes, as well as global network properties. An extension to directed networks is then presented. By tuning model parameters to reasonable values, we obtain distinct power-law forms for the in-degree and out-degree distributions with exponents that are in good agreement with current data for the web. Finally, a general growth process with independent introduction of nodes and links is investigated. This leads to independently growing sub-networks that may coalesce with other sub-networks. General results for both the size distribution of sub-networks and the degree distribution are obtained. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

"Epistemology and the socio-cognitive perspective in information science" JASIS&T 53(4):257-270, February 15, 2002 Message-ID: The direct connection to Bibliometrics of this paper is the use of the SSCI to produce analyses of core journals associated with four psychological paradigms -- behavioristic, cognitivistic, neuroscientific, and psychoanalytic. For each of these, Hjorland provides a table showing the ranking of information sources most cited. By sampling the literature of Schizophrenia in a Dialog ranked search, he supports his general thesis. Figure 1 reprints an important table about the percentage of articles published in flagship publications relevant to the four schools. This is taken from R.W. Robins et al 1999, American Psychologist 54(2):117-28. In my opinion, the work of Birger Hjorland is "must reading" for information scientists including informetricians. Eugene Garfield _________________________________________________________________ B. Hjorland : Birger.Hjorland at hb.se Title Epistemology and the socio-cognitive perspective in information science Author Hjorland B Journal JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 53 (4): 257-270 FEB 15 2002 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 48 Times Cited: 2 Abstract: This article presents a socio-cognitive perspective in relation to information science (IS) and information retrieval (IR). The differences between traditional cognitive views and the socio-cognitive or domain-analytic view are outlined. It is claimed that, given elementary skills in computer-based retrieval, people are basically interacting with representations of subject literatures in IR. The kind of knowledge needed to interact with representations of subject literatures is discussed. It is shown how different approaches or "paradigms" in the represented literature imply different information needs and relevance criteria (which users typically cannot express very well, which is why IS cannot primarily rely on user studies). These principles are exemplified by comparing behaviorism, cognitivism, psychoanalysis, and neuroscience as approaches in psychology. The relevance criteria implicit in each position are outlined, and empirical data are provided to prove the theoretical claims. It is further shown that the most general level of relevance criteria is implied by epistemological theories. The article concludes that the fundamental problems of IS and IR are based in epistemology, which therefore becomes the most important allied field for IS.

The authors interpret the field very broadly. Apparently almost any kind of quantitative study of the literature qualifies. A mention of Impact Factors is solely to quantify their selection of these high impact journals in psychiatry - American Journal of Psychiatry(AJP) Archives of General Psychiatry (AGP) and British Journal of Psychiatry(BJP) against which they compare the Nordic Journal of Psychiatry(NJP) E.

Nieminen: pentti.nieminen at oulu.fi Title Statistical methodology in general psychiatric journals Author Miettunen J, Nieminen P, Isohanni M Journal NORDIC JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY 56 (3): 223-228 JUN 1 2002 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 32 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: Development of psychiatric research methods requires systematic review of their status. This study describes the frequency with which various statistical research designs and methods are reported in general psychiatric journals. All original research articles in four psychiatric journals in 1996 were reviewed: The American Journal of Psychiatry (AJP), The Archives of General Psychiatry (AGP), The British Journal of Psychiatry (BJP) and the Nordic Journal of Psychiatry (NJP). Evaluation included 448 regular articles, which reported original research findings based on systematic collection and statistical analysis of research data. Aspects measured were research design, statistical methodology, description of procedures and presentation of results. Percentage frequencies of reported statistical procedures were compared between the journals. The policy of determining statistical significance was still the most generally used method of conducting research. Compared to earlier reviews, readers of psychiatric reports in 1996 more frequently encountered computer-dependent multivariate techniques. There were differences in the utilization and reporting of statistical procedures among the journals. The authors of psychiatric journals might apply these results in designing their psychiatric research to present intelligible and compact analysis combined with a high quality presentation technique, thus being in line with the policy and presentation of the leading psychiatric journals.

A total of 547 unique Malaysian authors, affiliated to 52 organizations in Malaysia, contributed 461 publications between 1990 and 1999 as indicated by data collected from three Web-based databases. The majority (378 or 69.1%) of authors wrote one publication. The productive authors and the number of their papers as well as the position of their names in the articles are listed to indicate their productivity and degree of involvement in their research publications. Researchers from the universities contribute about 428 (92.8%) publications. The three most productive institutions together account for a total of 258 (56.0%) publications. The composition of the publications are 197 (42.7%) journal articles, 263 (57.1%) conference papers, and 1 (0.2%) monograph chapters. The results indicate that the scholars published in a few core proceedings but contributed to a wide variety of journals. Thirty-nine fields of research undertaken by the scholars are also revealed. The possible reasons for the amount and pattern of contributions are related to the size of researcher population in the country, the availability of refereed scholarly journals, and the total expenditure allocated to information, computers, and communication technology (ICCT) research in Malaysia.

The international consultation is carried out in the framework of a fundamental review of science and technology statistics and indicators in the world. The review aims at helping UNESCO to identify the policy information needs in science and technology, which are of greatest priority in different parts of the world. An additional focus of the review will be to define the strategy, which should be adopted to improve the relevance, availability and quality of science and technology statistics especially in developing countries. The ultimate goal is to revitalize efforts at both the international and national levels to build science and technology statistical systems that are highly responsive to policy information needs, and to strengthen the UIS's role in stimulating and facilitating this revitalization process, especially through its standard setting and information dissemination functions. The main tool of this consultation is a questionnaire, intended above all for science policy-makers and persons who are either directly involved in or advising on science policies at the national and/or international levels. Members of the scientific community who are knowledgeable about science policies and development issues may also wish to respond to this questionnaire and contribute to the consultation process. The questionnaire, as well as the background paper accompanying the consultation entitled: ?Science and Technology Statistics and Indicators in Developing Countries: Perspectives and Challenges? are available as from 1 October 2002 on the UIS Website at . A significant number of responses to this questionnaire are expected by 10 November 2002.

The factor driving this is free, unrestricted access to research papers. Measurements of user activity in mature eprint archives of research papers such as arXiv have shown, for the first time, the degree to which such services support an evolving network of texts commenting on, citing, classifying, abstracting, listing and revising other texts. The Open Citation project has built tools to measure this activity, to build new archives, and has been closely involved with the development of the infrastructure to support open access on which these new services depend. This is the story of the project, intertwined with the concurrent emergence of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI). The paper describes the broad scope of the project's work, showing how it has progressed from early demonstrators of reference linking to produce Citebase, a Web-based citation and impact-ranked search service, and how it has supported the development of the EPrints.org software for building OAI-compliant archives. The work has been underpinned by analysis and experiments on the semantics of documents (digital objects) to determine the features required for formally perfect linking ? instantiated as an application programming interface (API) for reference linking ? that will enable other applications to build on this work in broader digital library information environments.

Our objective was to identify, and analyze the characteristics of the 100 most frequently cited articles published in journals dedicated to general surgery and its close subspecialties. Using the database (1945-1995) of the Science Citation Index of the Institute for Scientific Information. 1500 articles cited 100 times and more were identified and the top 100 articles selected for further analysis. The 100 articles were published between 1931 and 1990. with more than two-thirds of them published after 1960. The mean number of citations per article was 405, (range 278-1013). Altogether, 84 of the articles originated from North America (USA 78, Canada 6) and the UK (12). New York State led the list of U.S. states with 14, and Harvard and Columbia University led the list of institutions with 6 articles each. The 100 articles were published in 10 surgical journals led by the Annals of Surgery (n = 40), followed by Surgery (n = 15), Archives of Surgery (n = 12), Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics (n = 11), and British Journal of Surgery (n = 10). A total of 86 of the articles reported clinical experiences, 6 were clinical review articles, and 14 dealt with basic science. Eighteen articles reported a new surgical technique and six a prosthetic device. Gastrointestinal surgery and trauma and critical care led the list of the surgical fields, each with 25 articles, followed by vascular surgery (n = 15). Thirty-four persons authored two or more of the top-cited articles. This list of the top-cited papers identifies seminal contributions and their originators, facilitating the understanding and discourse of modern surgical history and offering surgeons hints about what makes a contribution a "top-cited classic," To produce such a "classic" the surgeon and his or her group must come up with a clinical or nonclinical innovation, observation, or discovery that has a long-standing effect on the way we practice-be it operative or nonoperative. Based on our findings, to be well cited such a contribution should be published in the English language in a high-impact journal. Moreover, it is more likely to resonant loudly if it originates from a North American or British "ivory tower."

What approaches have been used in information science to produce kinds of domain-specific knowledge? This article presents 11 approaches to domain analysis. Together these approaches make a unique competence for information specialists. The approaches are: producing literature guides and subject gateways; producing special classifications and thesauri; research on indexing and retrieving specialities; empirical user studies; bibliometrical studies; historical studies; document and genre studies; epistemological and critical studies; terminological studies, LSP (languages for special purposes), discourse studies; studies of structures and institutions in scientific communication; and domain analysis in professional cognition and artificial intelligence. Specific examples and selective reviews of literature are provided, and the strengths and drawbacks of each of these approaches are discussed.

Eminence was measured by scores on 3 quantitative variables and 3 qualitative variables. The quantitative variables were journal citation frequency, introductory psychology textbook citation frequency, and survey response frequency. The qualitative variables were National Academy of Sciences membership, election as American Psychological Association (APA) president or receipt of the APA Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award, and surname used as an eponym. The qualitative variables were quantified and combined with the other 3 quantitative variables to produce a composite score that was then used to construct a rank-ordered list of the most eminent psychologists of the 20th century.

Koehler) Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2002 08:52:35 -0400 Subject: Who do we use to educate LIS students- a teaser Message-ID: Some months ago there was an interesting discussion on the JESSE list on the merits of "different" types of citations - including those in scholarly journals and elsewhere. And I have wondered for several years whether journal citations and co-ciations track those we use in our teaching. So.... The following list represents citations in publically accessable on-line US LIS school syllabi collected for all ALA accredited institutions (as listed by ALA COA) during the summer 2002. List includes all authors, not just first authors - Thus citations to Lawrence and Giles' two articles that have gained currency in LIS credit Lawrence and Giles each with 8 "hits" There are 4969 different names. The average number of citations per name is 1.6 (std dev 1.9). There are a number of citations giving last name only - for example "Taylor". As there are several Taylors cited, I made no effort to attribute these. Because of great length, I limit this list to authors with four or more citations. (Note Taylor A and Taylor R, for example, make this list). Even when attribution is "almost certain" it's not done here - e.g. Bopp R has 13 "hits," Bopp "no initial" has 5. The list excludes institiutional and organizational citations (Lib Congress, ALA, OCLC, etc) More to follow - somewhere else - once these data have been more carefully analyzed.

Message-ID: Steven Morris : samorri at okstate.edu Title DIVA: a visualization system for exploring document databases for technology forecasting Author Morris S., DeYong C, Wu Z, Salman S, Yemenu D. Journal COMPUTERS & INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING 43 (4): 841-862 SEP 2002 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 13 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: Database Information Visualization and Analysis system (DIVA) is a computer program that helps perform bibliometric analysis of collections of scientific literature and patents for technology forecasting. Documents, drawn from the technological field of interest, are visualized as clusters on a two dimensional map, permitting exploration of the relationships among the documents and document clusters and also permitting derivation of summary data about each document cluster. Such information, when provided to subject matter experts performing a technology forecast, can yield insight into trends in the technological field of interest. This paper discusses the document visualization and analysis process: acquisition of documents, mapping documents, clustering, exploration of relationships, and generation of summary and trend information. Detailed discussion of DIVA exploration functions is presented and followed by an example of visualization and analysis of a set of documents about chemical sensors.

Two hundred and twenty-two items were recorded within the period studied and analyzed using simple statistical methods. The analyses were done according to contributions to the sub-divisions of the economic geology literature. Growth pattern of the field was also taken into consideration as well as which African countries contributed to the literature of economic geology. The findings of the study exhibit that African geological researchers were more active in certain areas of the economic geology literature, especially in the areas of energy sources and metals. All of the African contributions were in the form of research papers. Only six countries-South Africa, Nigeria, Zambia, Egypt, Tunisia, and Ghana-consistently contributed to the field of Economic Geology, one or more publications each year within the period studied.

The incidence of interdisciplinarity (ID) in Spanish cardiovascular research teams was analyzed and scientists'opinions about interdisciplinary relationships were examined. Methods. The data analyzed were obtained in a survey sent in 1999 to a sample of 310 researchers. They were selected using bibliometric techniques and/or for being research project leaders in recent years. Results. The response rate was 61%. Data were obtained from 130 research teams located mainly in Madrid and Catalonia. Teams doing clinical research (81%) and those working in hospitals (64%) predominated. Different facets of the interdisciplinary nature of the teams were analyzed: scientist training, team composition, behavior patterns, collaboration, and publication and reading habits. A high ID was observed in the area: more than 70% of the teams are nterdisciplinary according to the training of scientists, around 80% make use of knowledge or techniques from other disciplines, and around 90% read and publish in journals outside their own disciplines. Basic research teams had a higher ID than clinical ones. A total of 37 highly interdisciplinary teams were identified. These teams had a greater tendency towards collaboration. Conclusions. Interdisciplinary reading and publishing habits were the norm among Spanish researchers, even in single-discipline groups. The scattered,, nature of teams, their high rate of external collaborations, and the multidisciplinary context of centers enhance interdisciplinary relationships. Administrative barriers do not seem to be a major obstacle to establishing interdisciplinary contacts.

Ground Water 39(4):492-498 July-August 2001 Message-ID: Frank W. Schwartz : frank at geology.ohio-state.edu Title Hydrogeological research: Beginning of the end or end of the beginning? Author Schwartz FW, Ibaraki M Journal GROUND WATER 39 (4): 492-498 JUL-AUG 2001 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 9 Times Cited: 4 Abstract: This paper uses citation data to assess whether articles published in key ground water journals such as Ground Water (GW) and Water Resources Research (WRR) are impacting research. Citation information was obtained from SCI Journal Citation Reports and The Web of Science - databases maintained by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), Information extracted from The Web of Science was processed further to remove corrections to papers, discussion/replies, and book reviews. Generally, there are many ground water papers published, but citations of these papers are limited. Approximately 10% to 15% of WRR articles, and 2% to 3% of GW articles attract more than 50 citations in their lifetimes. In both GW and WRR, the top 10% of papers eventually will contribute nearly half of the total yearly citations. Another emerging trend is a diminishing emphasis on citations to new work as compared to work more than 10 years in age. When articles in Ground Water or Journal of Hydrology cite papers in Water Resources Research, those papers cite work 10 or more years old half of the time. If one believes that citations are a measure of science impact, then there is cause for concern. Research is inefficient with much produced for little gain. On a typical industrial life-cycle curve, ground water research is likely ranked as mature and close to aging. At this stage, much work will have been completed and the number of truly impactful problems will have dwindled to just a few.

Gray : wggray at nd.edu Title Hydrogeological research: Just getting started Author Miller CT, Gray WG Journal GROUND WATER 40 (3): 224-231 MAY-JUN 2002 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 41 Times Cited: 1 Abstract: This paper comments on the current state of knowledge in the field of hydrogeology and claims that fundamental understandings must be developed if creative research is to have maximum impact. Problems of great importance to society include water development and quality, waste disposal. and global cycling of resources. These problems cannot be addressed effectively unless significant advances are made in understanding of a range of challenging scientific issues including fundamental physics. the importance of scale, modeling, and chemical and biological processes. Meaningful advances in hydrogeologic research will require an increased emphasis on fundamental understanding, interdisciplinary approaches, educational reforms. and the attraction of excellent researchers to the field.
