From Garfield at CODEX.CIS.UPENN.EDU Tue Jun 3 14:02:15 2003 From: Garfield at CODEX.CIS.UPENN.EDU (Garfield, Eugene) Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2003 14:02:15 -0400 Subject: citations to Claude E Shannon's classic papers Message-ID: Dear colleagues: I recently had occasion to look in the WebofScience for the citation record for Claude Shannon's early 1948 papers on A MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF COMMUNICATION SHANNON CE BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL 27 (3): 379-423 1948 This paper has been cited over 4029 times while second part was cited over 2275 times. A MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF COMMUNICATION SHANNON CE BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL 27 (4): 623-656 1948 Remarkably they are both still cited quite often more than fifty years after their first appearance. In contrast, his paper on entropy of printed English has been cited only about 400 times. PREDICTION AND ENTROPY OF PRINTED ENGLISH SHANNON CE BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL 30 (1): 50-64 1951 The following web site is quite relevant to the above: http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/ms/what/shannonday/paper.html A Mathematical Theory of Communication by Claude E. Shannon A Note on the Edition Claude Shannon's ``A mathematical theory of communication'' was first published in two parts in the July and October 1948 editions of the Bell System Technical Journal [1]. The paper has appeared in a number of republications since: * The original 1948 version was reproduced in the collection Key Papers in the Development of Information Theory [2]. The paper also appears in Claude Elwood Shannon: Collected Papers [3]. The text of the latter is a reproduction from the Bell Telephone System Technical Publications, a series of monographs by engineers and scientists of the Bell System published in the BSTJ and elsewhere. This version has correct section numbering (the BSTJ version has two sections numbered 21), and as far as we can tell, this is the only difference from the BSTJ version. * Prefaced by Warren Weaver's introduction, ``Recent contributions to the mathematical theory of communication,'' the paper was included in The Mathematical Theory of Communication, published by the University of Illinois Press in 1949 [4]. The text in this book differs from the original mainly in the following points: * the title is changed to ``The mathematical theory of communication'' and some sections have new headings, * Appendix 4 is rewritten, * the references to unpublished material have been updated to refer to the published material. The text we present here is based on the BSTJ version with a number of corrections. (The version on this site before May 18th 1998 was based on the University of Illinois Press version.) Here you can find a PostScript (460 Kbytes), gzipped PostScript (146 Kbytes) and pdf (358 Kbytes) version of Shannon's paper. PDF files can be viewed by Adobe's acrobat reader . Tarred and gzipped contents of the directory (63 Kbytes) that contain the LaTeX code for the paper is also available. References 1 C. E.

Toll access: http://makeashorterlink.com/?Y5DE124D4 Toll-free access to fuller versions, with links: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/thes.html and http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/theshort.html "Why I believe that all UK research output should be online" Stevan Harnad Unlike journalists or book authors, researchers receive no royalties or fees for their writings. They write for "research impact", the sum of all the effects of their work on the work of others and on the society that funds it. So how research is read, used, cited and built on in further research and applications needs to be measured. One natural way to measure research impact would be to adopt the approach of the web search engine Google. Google measures the importance of a website. It does this by rank-ordering search results according to how many other websites link to them: the more links, the higher the rank. This works amazingly well, but it is far too crude for measuring research impact, which is about how much a paper is being used by other researchers. There is, however, a cousin of web links that researchers have been using for decades as a measure of impact: citations. Citations reference the building blocks that a piece of research uses to make its own contribution to knowledge. The more often a paper is used as a building block, the higher its research impact. Citation counts are powerful measures of impact. One study has shown that in the field of psychology, citation counts predict the outcome of the research assessment exercise with an accuracy of more than 80 per cent. The RAE involves ranking all departments in all universities by their research impact and then funding them accordingly. Yet it does not count citations. Instead, it requires universities to spend vast amounts of time compiling dossiers of all sorts of performance indicators. Then still more time and effort is expended by teams of assessors assessing and ranking all the dossiers. In many cases, citation counts alone would save at least 80 per cent of all that time and effort. But the Google-like idea also suggests ways to do even better, enriching citation counts by another measure of impact: how often a paper is read. Web "hits" (downloads) predict citations that will come later. To be used and cited, a paper first has to be accessed and read. And downloads are also usage (and hence impact) measures in their own right. Google also uses "hubs" and "authorities" to weight link counts. Not all links are equal. It means more to be linked to by a high-link site than a low-link site. This is the exact equivalent to co-citation analysis, in which it matters more if you are cited by a Nobel laureate than by a new postdoc. What this new world of webmetrics needs to be mined and used to encourage and reward research is not a four-yearly exercise in paperwork. All university research output should be continuously accessible and hence assessable online: not only the references cited but the full text. Then computer programs can be used to extract a whole spectrum of impact indicators, adjustable for any differences between disciplines. Nor are time-saving, efficiency, power and richness of these webmetric impact indicators their only or even principal benefits. For the citation counts of papers whose full texts are already freely accessible on the web are more than 300 per cent higher than those that are not. So all of UK research stands to increase its impact dramatically by being put online. Every researcher should have a standardised electronic CV, continuously updated with all the RAE performance indicators listed and every journal paper linked to its full-text in that university's online "eprint" archive. Webmetric assessment engines can do all the rest. At Southampton University, we have designed (free) software for creating the RAE CVs and eprint archives along with citebase, a webmetric engine that analyses citations and downloads. The only thing still needed is a national policy of self-archiving all research output to enhance and assess its impact.

All disciplines cite original literature. That publisher copyright is not an obstacle to the self-archiving of peer-reviewed journal articles is true of *all* disciplines. Humanities are not an exception. Please see the publisher self-archiving policy table in: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ls/disresearch/romeo/Romeo%20Publisher%20Policies.htm But perhaps you did not mean peer-reviewed journal copyright, but book copyright. The humanities as a whole do publish far more of their research in book form rather than as journal articles, and in general book-authors and their publishers do not wish to give away the full-texts of their potentially royalty-bearing books. In this case there is still a solution that allows their work's impact to be measured in exactly the same way as with journal articles -- http://citebase.eprints.org/cgi-bin/search -- namely, if authors self-archive (in addition to self-archiving the full-text of any journal articles they write) their books' metadata-only (author, title, publisher, year), along with the full-texts of only their reference lists. That will allow a book-citation impact factor (not currently available anyewhere) to be calculated in exactly the same way as the article-citation impact: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/bookcite.htm This will also add to the visibility of the book -- and it might even allow a rudimentary download estimate to be made: http://citebase.eprints.org/java/correlation/correlation.html In addition, for esoteric monographs that expect only a succes d'estime, but not much by way of royalties, the possibility of increasing their impact still further by making their full-text openly accessible might in some cases encourage authors to make different arrangements with their publishers, perhaps to publish them in an online-only monograph series, especially if otherwise publication expenses might have been difficult to recover. The humanities too, along with the sciences, may also wish to enhance the research value of their publications by self-archiving the data on which they are based -- a possibility that had been excluded, for reasons of page-limits and their expense in the case of both books and journal articles: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/data-archiving.htm Stevan Harnad From harnad at ECS.SOTON.AC.UK Wed Jun 11 10:48:17 2003 From: harnad at ECS.SOTON.AC.UK (Stevan Harnad) Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2003 15:48:17 +0100 Subject: How to compare research impact off toll- vs. open-access research Message-ID: Reply to (anonymized) query about how to equate and compare the impact of toll-accessibility with open-accessibility: > I am generally quite taken by the Open Access approach and think that > publishers should be encouraged to see it as both an opportunity > and I think also, reasonably, a threat, unless they reinvent > themselves. However I think the case will be best advanced if we > are clear what has actually been demonstrated. Eventually open-access publishing might be an opportunity. At the moment, however, it is neither an opportunity nor a threat, because far more open-access (in terms of number of articles freely accessible online) is coming from authors providing open access to their toll-access publications by self-archiving them than from publishing them in open-access journals. [Compare the total number of articles in all the open-access journals listed in the directory of open access journals http://www.doaj.org/ with the number of freely accessible articles indexed by http://oaister.umdl.umich.edu/o/oaister/ and http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/cs (equating for year of publication; figures that would include home website self-archiving would be even higher). There are about 500 open access journals to date, out of a total of at least 20,000 toll-access journals, publishing at least 2,000,000 articles a year.] >> [Steve Lawrence]: "Freely available online articles are 4.5 times >> more cited than non-freely available online articles [online articles >> that sit behind a toll gate or articles not online]"' > > [This] comes close to justifying the... assertion but not quite, > since the definition of "non-freely available online articles" > includes "articles not online" i.e. articles only available in > paper. Lawrence's study tried to compare equivalent articles in the same publication, but because free online availability is also strongly correlated with time, his comparisons could not be exact. (The pairs of articles compared might be in the same publication, but if the publication became freely accessible online in more recent years, the non-free articles might also have been earlier ones.) Here are two studies that we are undertaking at Southampton (involving Tim Brody, designer of citebase, Mike Jewell, designer of paracite, and Les Carr, the designer of the citation linking in Opcit): (1) Comparing citation counts for self-archived and non-self-archived articles equated for year, volume, and issue in the same toll-access journals, all hybrid journals (i.e. having paper edition and toll-access online editions), across a diverse sample of disciplines, using paracite to seek full-text free-access versions. The most revealing study would be of articles published *now*, in toll-access journals (most of which are now hybrid, having both paper and online toll-access versions) with the only difference being whether the authors have or have not made them freely accessible by self-archiving them. A long enough timeline is needed to leave time for citations to occur, so perhaps 1998-2003 could be sampled, carefully making sure that all journals already had online versions in all cases (and that the free-access version was self-archived early enough). An approximation to this selective search could be done using paracite: http://paracite.eprints.org/ A set of appropriate journals is selected. Their full contents for the 1998-2003 are analyzed by having paracite seek an online full-text free-access version for each article. The comparison can then be made, carefully equating both the date of publication and the date of self-archiving for the self-archived free-access version. (The possibility of error works *against* our estimate, for paracite might fail to find free-access versions that do exist in some cases; this would simply reduce the size of the citation ratio for free-access vs. toll-access papers.) There may be some confounding of preprints and postprints in such a comparison. (Authors may self-archive unrefereed preprints, refereed postprints, or both.) The obvious cases could be eliminated (if we wished -- it is not clear that they would really introduce an artifact) by excluding papers in which the free version appeared before the published version or if the title differed, but frankly I don't think this is really relevant, nor an artifact: Enhanced citations owing to self-archived preprints are still enhanced citations. (2) Comparing citation counts for self-archived and non-self-archived articles equated for year, volume, and issue in the same toll-access journals, all hybrid journals (i.e. having paper edition and toll-access online editions) in the Physics ArXiv, using citebase. Physics (and some areas of maths and allied disciplines) are more advanced than other disciplines in self-archiving. It would nevertheless be revealing to compare citation counts for (journal/issue-equated) papers that are and are not self-archived in ArXiv. Some subfields, like High Energy Physics, will be virtually 100% self-archived, so there will be no room for comparison there. But some subfields are still sub-complete, so there a combination of citebase and web-of-science for selected samples from the same journal/issue would allow direct comparison. http://citebase.eprints.org/cgi-bin/search http://wos.mimas.ac.uk/ Tim Brody already has indirect evidence that free access is affecting citations, in that citations are occurring earlier and earlier with every year that self-archiving grows. This is largely due to the earlier availability of preprints, but it does show the direct connection between accessibility and citation: http://citebase.eprints.org/analysis/correlation.php (you need recent java installed to view this) > Open Access publishing has a great intuitive appeal and > in many ways sits better with the overall academic ethos than the > present model.

Agreed. So let us not speak about a transition just yet (except by those toll-access publishers who may already wish to convert to open-access, or those new publishers, like BioMed Central, who wish to make their entry into refereed journal publication as open-access publishers). As already noted above, the lion's share of the open access today is being provided by authors -- not by publishing in open-access journals, but by self-archiving their toll-access publications, both preprints and postprints. It is in this arena that the benefits of open access, and its effects on research impact, are being felt, and can be measured. > Given the importance attached to citation ranking both by authors > and publishers... further research along the lines undertaken by > Steven Lawrence in different disciplines would be of great use, > to the community as a whole.

See also: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/~kurtz/jasist-submitted.ps http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Hypermail/Amsci/2829.html I might close with the suggestion that statistical comparisons of toll-access impact with open-access impact are fine for those who do not know, or are sceptical, but those who already self-archive don't need any further convincing! What is not already conveyed by the logic of the relation between access and impact -- more access is not a sufficient condition for more citations, but it is certainly a necessary one! -- is conveyed by the actual experience of self-archivers: The rapid evolution of scholarly communication, A.

Sally is quite right to point out that the Lawrence citation-impact study did not specifically compare online-for-fee vs. online-for-free. It compared online-or-on-paper-for-fee vs. online-for-free. (Unless I am mistaken, all the computer science conference papers in his "for-free" set were indeed for-free, i.e., open-access.) The correct, controlled studies that need to be conducted are the two I described in an earlier posting on this thread (and again summarize below) -- although I am confident (and I am sure everyone who hasn't a vested interest in the opposite outcome and either has experience with free online availability or has thought about it would agree) that the outcome will be pretty much the same as the Lawrence study, if not stronger. For although access is not a *sufficient* condition for reading/usage/citation, it is certainly a *necessary* one. And currently it is a brute fact that for papers accessible only for-fee, access to the majority of their potential users on the planet is denied -- because the toll-access fees for the planet's 20,000 peer-reviewed journals are not universally affordable, and cannot be, for anywhere near all potential users. That is the Gutenberg fact that is poised to be remedied by self-archiving in our PostGutenberg era. The correct, controlled studies are: (1) Comparing citation counts for self-archived and non-self-archived articles equated for year, volume, and issue in the same toll-access journals, all hybrid journals (i.e. having paper edition and toll-access online editions), across a diverse sample of disciplines, using paracite to seek full-text free-access versions. (2) Comparing citation counts for self-archived and non-self-archived articles equated for year, volume, and issue in the same toll-access journals, all hybrid journals (i.e. having paper edition and toll-access online editions) in the Physics ArXiv, using citebase. Our research team at Southampton will be conducting these studies, but as the sooner the data are in the better, we invite anyone else to scoop us! There are plenty of urgent things to do for open access apart from convincing the sceptics that the Lawrence results do indeed confirm what all self-archivers already know: That freely accessible research will be read, used and cited far more than research that is not freely accessible. > Of course, this means that there is a feedback loop from the 'Big Deals' > which the largest publishers are able to provide to libraries and consortia. > Availability means more citations, more citations means increased > attractiveness both to authors and to cash-strapped libraries. If toll-access publishers use the Lawrence results to promote online access to institutions that so far only seek on-paper access, that's fine.* In its own limited way, that too is increasing impact. *Indeed, the benefits of fee-based access (over non-access) are precisely what the Kurtz study shows in the very special case of astrophysics: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/~kurtz/jasis-abstract.html For the astrophysics community is perhaps unique in being (1) a relatively circumscribed community worldwide, mostly located only at the well-funded universities (perhaps because of the resource-intensiveness of the research?), (2) having a relatively small, "closed" literature, involving a small specific set of journals in which all the relevant papers and citations appear. As a consequence (3) virtually all astrophysicists have institutional site-licensed access (i.e., for-fee) to the entire astrophysics literature, as confirmed by Tim Brody's finding that (unlike all other fields of physics, and unlike all other disciplines) (4) astrophyicists self-archive only their unrefereed preprints, to get them out early (like other phsyicists); they do not bother to self-archive their postprints, knowing that they will all be available to everyone for-fee (as Peter Boyce of ASA has been telling me for years). I am sure there will be postings from astrophysicists who report that they do *not* have access to all of the astro journal literature for-fee, but astro is still probably the field that is *closest* to the kind of "universal for-fee access" that some publishers hope to provide, but that will not prove even faintly affordable for most fields other than astro http://www.stm-assoc.org/infosharing/springconference-prog.html Stevan Harnad > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Stevan Harnad" > To: > Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 1:19 PM > Subject: Re: THES article on research access Friday June 6 2003 > > > On Fri, 6 Jun 2003, [identity removed] wrote: > > > > > You mention in your recent post and THES article that > > >> "For the citation counts of papers whose full texts are already > > >> freely accessible on the web are more than 300 per cent higher than > > >> those that are not." > > > Do you have a citation for that that you can point me at? > > > > Lawrence, S.

"The Kohonen self-organising map as an alternative to cluster analysis: an application to direct marketing" INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MARKET RESEARCH 45 (2): 191-211 2003 Message-ID: Professor Bruce Curry : Curry at cardiff.ac.uk Title : The Kohonen self-organising map as an alternative to cluster analysis: an application to direct marketing Author : Curry B, Davies F, Evans M, Moutinho L, Phillips P Journal : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MARKET RESEARCH 45 (2): 191-211 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 27 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: This paper examines the potential of the Kohonen self-organising map (SOM) in a marketing context. It deals specifically with consumer attitudes towards direct marketing. The SOM belongs to the general class of neural network (NN) models, but differs from the now orthodox way in which NNs are implemented. The major difference is that network learning is 'unsupervised', in which case the SOM is related to clustering methods. The result of an SOM is a two-dimensional grid of related 'prototypes' rather than non-overlapping clusters. The method involves iterative adjustment of the prototypes in such a way as to capture and preserve the properties of the data. We show how the resulting maps offer useful new perspectives.

Strong scale-free regularities for page indegrees, outdegrees, and connected component sizes were in evidence, resulting in power laws similar to those previously identified for individual university Web sites and for the AltaVista-indexed Web. Anomalies were also discovered in most distributions and were tracked down to root causes. As a result, resource driven Web sites and automatically generated pages were identified as representing a significant break from the assumptions of previous power law models. It follows that attempts to track average Web linking behavior would benefit from using techniques to minimize or eliminate the impact of such anomalies.

We show that the Mann-Whitney test is a good test on the publication productivity of journals and of authors. Its main limitation is a lack of power on small samples that have small differences. This is not the fault of the test, but rather reflects the fact that small, similar samples have little to distinguish between them.

Out of the 722 references detected, distributed in 328 journals, 90.7% corresponded to original research articles. The total productivity figures showed a moderately increasing trend, both in absolute and population-adjusted terms, in concordance with previous data recorded for the period 1980-1998. The contribution of Revista de Biologia Tropical to these figures corresponded to 10.0%, 8.9%, and 19.1%, for the years 1999, 2000, and 200 1, respectively, The subject distribution of articles followed a similar pattern to that described for 1980-1998, with a predominance of biomedical (33.3%) and biological (27.5%) sciences, followed by agronomical (15.5%) sciences, chemistry (13.6%), physics (5.0%), geological sciences (3.6%), and mathematics (1.5%). Citation analyses for individual publications (up to July 15, 2002) revealed that only 45.2% of the articles had been cited at least once. The ten most cited references were analyzed, varying from 26 to 114 citations. The average citation per article was 2.60, and the average number of authors per article was 2.92. In agreement with data from 1980-1998, the University of Costa Rica appeared as the institution with highest productivity of SCI publications during 1999-2001, with a contribution of 50.0%. The percentage of publications performed without the participation of foreign co-authors; showed a change in its decreasing trend of 1980-1998, stabilizing near the range of 25-30% during the period 1999-2001.

Comparing search engines for searching geographically specific information AUTHOR Smith AG JOURNAL ONLINE INFORMATION REVIEW 27 (2): 102-109 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 14 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: This study evaluates the retrieval of New Zealand information using three local New Zealand search engines, four major global search engines and three metasearch engines. Searches for NZ topics were carried out on all the search engines, and the relative recall calculated. The local search engines did not achieve higher recall than the global search engines or metasearch engines, but no search engine achieved more than 45 percent recall. Despite the theoretical advantage of searching the databases of several individual search engines, metasearch engines did not achieve higher recall. Of relevant pages for the queries, 36 percent were outside the nz domain. Implications for searching for geographically specific information, and for evaluation of search engines, are discussed.

The aims of the present study were to document these differences by means of bibliometric analysis, and to attempt to elucidate the causes of these differences. Employing MEDLINE searches for the 10-year period 1988-97, quantitative and qualitative comparisons of the dermatological publications from these two countries were conducted. We found the achievements of Danish dermatological research to be superior to those of Israel, and suggest that the large proportion of case reports and reviews is one cause of the relatively low ranking of Israeli dermatological research efforts.

A citation analysis of IS articles that cite Hofstede's research on national culture suggests that most research is focused on issues related to IS management and to IS, while issues related to IS development and operations and to IS usage remain relatively unexamined. Within the dominant categories, research is concentrated in the IS management and types of information systems subcategories. Furthermore, the dimensions of national culture outlined by Hofstede have not been frequently used to develop and to build theory. Research opportunities and approaches to develop a stronger cumulative tradition and theory for international IS issues are proposed.

This study assesses the recent evolution of world-wide distribution of research in the anaesthesiology field and discusses some of the possible factors which could give rise to changes in the interpretation of absolute results. Methods: A search on Medline was run to obtain the source country of the journal articles (with abstract) from 10 important anaesthesia journals in the 1997-2001 period. The data were analysed and standardized to journal impact factor values of each publication and population size. Annual evolution in the number of publications in the countries with the largest scientific production was analysed. Furthermore, the distribution of articles by country of origin was studied for each journal. Results: The 9724 publications came from 65 countries. In absolute numbers, the USA leads research in anaesthesiology (24.4%). The evaluation of the contribution of the more productive countries revealed a progressive increase in the German contribution (from 5.1% to 9.4%) and a decrease in the American contribution (from 28.6% to 21.8%) over the 5 years analysed. In relative terms, Finland, Sweden and Denmark were the most productive countries per million inhabitants (8.8, 7.2 and 6 publications/year, respectively). Conclusion: The geographic distribution of the publications on anaesthesiology must not only be analysed in absolute numbers, where the USA is the most productive. The North-European countries show the largest production/number of inhabitants ratio; whereas the largest percentage increase during the period is found in Germany. "CONCLUSION copied from page 382.. It was concluded that USA is the world leader in anaesthesiology, calculated as the total number of publications. Germany is the country with the greatest increase in scientific production in recent years. Geographical distribution of the scientific production must, however, not only be analysed in absolute terms, it also ought to be evaluated in relation to otber variables, such as financial spending on research and development or number of inhabitants. In this respect, Finland has the best publication / population ratio.

Methods: Ophthalmology journals with higher impact factors were accessed through the Medline database to elicit the number of articles published in 1991-2000 that originated in various countries, including Japan. The proportion of articles with a higher grade of evidence (randomized controlled trials/clinical trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies) was determined for Japan and compared with the average values of the total articles published in these journals. In addition, the percentage of published research from the 20 top-ranking countries was calculated, showing the trend over time. Results: Of the total articles (21,327), Japan's share in the selected ophthalmology journals was 6.5% (1,387 articles), ranking third in the world, following the USA (51.5%) and the UK (11.3%). The recent increase in the share was statistically significant for Japan (P=.01). However, the proportionate value of clinical research evidence was lower for Japan-originated articles than the average value for the total clinical research articles in these journals. Conclusions: Appropriate measures should be taken in the ophthalmology field in Japan to increase the number of clinical research papers with a higher grade of evidence.

The journal selected is Journal of Information Science (JIS). The methods are mainly publication and citation analyses, including a journal co-citation analysis, self-citation analyses, an overlap analysis, as well as Lotka's law regarding authorship characteristics. This variety of methods provides a multifaceted image. The analyses are focused on the last 25 years, since the basis of research primarily is ISI's citation databases and LISA, in which JIS has been indexed since 1979. The library and information science journal is pictured by a catalogue of different methodologies as a supplement to Journal Impact Factor (JIF), the usual tool of journal evaluation in measuring the impact of a journal. The areas of study are the visibility of the journal in databases, the pattern of authorship, the pattern of self-citations, internalization and scientific impact. The methods employed in analysing JIS supplement and sustain other analyses in the field of library and information science journals.

A classification-scheme was created and applied to this collection. Obtaining inter-classifier agreement as to the single main link creation cause was very difficult because of multiple potential. motivations and the fluidity of genre on the Web. Nevertheless, it was clear that, whilst the vast majority, over 90%, was created for broadly scholarly reasons, only two Were equivalent to journal citations. It is concluded that academic web link metrics will be dominated by a range of informal types of scholarly communication. Since formal communication can be extensively studied through citation analysis, this provides an exciting new window through which to investigate a facet of a previously obscured type of communication activity.

The first is provisionally cast as an indicator of the average degree of online informal scholarly communication and information use by the academics in a given university. The second has a similar construction but focuses on the degree of web interconnection in terms of both inlinks and outlinks. The latter metric is based upon a more elaborate mechanism than raw link counts: totalling the minimum number of links between universities over all distinct pairs in the chosen set that include the given institution. Statistical tests give evidence that the results of both correlate with institutional research productivity in the UK, providing preliminary support for their continued development. Further research is needed into causes of linking in order to allow more meaningful interpretations of their values to be made.

Among the major indicators of S&T activity are research and development (R&D) expenditures and their relationship to gross domestic product, numbers of personnel involved in S&T research, scientific publication output and rankings by scientific discipline, and numbers of patents registered in the international patent systems. A 'composite index of S&T capacity' developed by researchers at the Rand Corporation is described and applied comparatively. We have compiled data on Iranian S&T activity under the following headings: R&D expenditure, population and educational profile, academic personnel, R&D personnel. A scientometric analysis of Iranian S&T publications using the Science Citation Index is presented, and possible shortcomings of this approach discussed. All findings are reported, analysed, and discussed with reference to the various compilations of S&T indicators and to our earlier studies on Iranian scientific publications. In particular we analyse annual distributions of world and Iranian S&T publications, international collaboration of Iranian scientists, journals where Iranian scientists publish and journals they cite, the most productive Iranian scientists and the extent of their influence nationally and internationally, and S&T subject areas in which Iranian scientists excel. We conclude with comments and suggestions for the continued development of Iran's ST capacity.

TITLE Overcoming the scientific generation gap in Africa: an urgent priority AUTHOR Gaillard J JOURNAL INTERDISCIPLINARY SCIENCE REVIEWS 28 (1): 15-25 MAR 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 17 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: Based on recently completed studies,this paper attempts to provide a realistic picture of the scientific profession in Africa today. Activities in science and technology (S&T) have gone through a process of institutionalisation and professionalisation in Africa over the last thirty years, but,these efforts have not been sufficient to create a sustainable dynamic of scientific production or of regeneration of national scientific communities. The situation today is critical, with S&T systems and the working environments of scientists deteriorating in many countries. While institutional mechanisms such as centres of excellence and S&T diasporas can, under certain conditions, contribute to the regionalisation and internationalisation of African science, they will never substitute for the weaknesses of national research systems. In the battle for sustainable development in Africa, nothing will replace home grown scientific capacities, and it is high time for the conditions for their renewal to be created. The results of empirical studies discussed in this article not only provide a vivid picture of the present day conditions of the scientific profession on the African continent, they also contribute to a diagnosis of the situation as one of political urgency.

Many were unknown to them, lying outside the mainstream journals in the field. As an illustration of this point, at least two colleagues found it necessary to call for papers from more than 200 separate journals, and it often became apparent that their author(s) were not aware of established work in the field in which they were publishing. More worryingly, it is reasonable to assume that the papers had been reviewed by colleagues who also were not very familiar with research in the field in which they were acting as referees. _______________________________________________________________________ TITLE The state of the field in UK management research: Reflections of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) panel AUTHOR Bessant J, Birley S, Cooper C, Dawson S, Gennard J, Gardiner M, Gray A, Jones P, Mayer C, McGee J, Pidd M, Rowley G JOURNAL BRITISH JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT 14 (1): 51-68 MAR 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 38 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: This paper reviews the state of the field of the sub-disciplines within UK management research, based upon the submissions of 94 UK higher education institutions to the Business and Management Studies Panel in the UK's 2001 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).
