"Citation classics in anaesthesia and pain journals: a literature review in the era of the internet" Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica 47(6):655-663 July 2003 Message-ID: Anders Aneman : Anders.aneman at medfak.gu.se TITLE Citation classics in anaesthesia and pain journals: a literature review in the era of the internet AUTHOR Terajima K, Aneman A JOURNAL ACTA ANAESTHESIOLOGICA SCANDINAVICA 47 (6): 655-663 JUL 2003 Document type: Review Language: English Cited References: 139 Times cited: 0 Abstract: Background: The number of citations an article receives reflects its scientific impact. The introduction of internet-based resources to search and access articles has made it possible to review even whole scientific areas. This study identifies the top 50 most-cited articles over the last 25 years in speciality journals dedicated to anaesthesia and pain, respectively. Methods: Twenty-two journals listed in The Science Citation Index Expanded(TM) in the field of anaesthesiology and nine major medical journals were screened using the cited reference option to identify articles cited more than 100 times between 1986 and 2002. The top 50 articles in speciality journals and the top 10 articles in major medical journals concerning anaesthesia and pain were retrieved for further analysis. Results: The most-cited articles in speciality journals were published from 1986 to 1997 and received a mean of 222 (anaesthesia) and 279 (pain) citations. Sixty-seven institutions produced the most-cited articles and of those 28 were located outside North America. The articles were published in six journals led by the Journal of Pain (50 articles) and Journal of Anaesthesiology (39 articles). Forty-seven articles were classified as related to clinical experience, 33 were review articles, and 20 discussed basic science. Conclusion: To make an article a possible 'citation classic' in anaesthesiology, it should be published in one of six leading journals and originate from an established institute in North America. Internet resources to publish and cite the literature have to date not advanced any article published in the last 5 years to the top 100 list.

Wuchty, Oltvai and Barabasi (pp. 176-179) describe so-called motifs, as building blocks in the evolution of yeast proteins. There is also an interesting comment on this article by Alessandro Vespignani (pp. 118-119). For the more mathematically inclined among you there are two interesting aspects here. The first is that this theory seems somewhat similar to (a 2-dim analogue; why don't the authors use 3-dim models?) Holland's theory of building blocks for genetic algorithms (although this is not mentioned in the Nature Genetics articles). The second is that Vespignani's article features a beautiful figure of a real life, namely protein-protein interaction - not a citation or collaboration - network. Something to think about!

At the level of scientist productivity declines with age following a predictable pattern. The problem of the impact of age structure on scientific productivity at the level of institutes in much less explored. The paper examines evidence from the Italian National Research Council. The path of hiring of junior researchers along the history of the institution is reconstructed. We find that age structure has a depressing effect on productivity and derive policy implications. The dynamic of growth of research institutes is introduced as a promising research field.

Jarvis : c.jarvis at le.ac.uk TITLE Infometric and statistical diagnostics to provide artificially-intelligent support for spatial analysis: the example of interpolation AUTHOR Jarvis CH, Stuart N, Cooper W JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SCIENCE 17 (6): 495-516 SEP 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 76 Times Cited: 0 Explanation Abstract: The wider uptake of GIS tools by many application areas outside GIScience means that many newer users of GIS will have high-level knowledge of the wider task, and low-level knowledge of specific system commands as given in reference manuals. However, these newer users may not have the intermediate knowledge that experts in GI science have gained from working with GI systems over several years. Such intermediate knowledge includes an understanding of the assumptions implied by the use of certain functions, and an appreciation of how to combine functions appropriately to create a workflow that suits both the data and overall goals of the geographical analysis task. Focusing on the common but non-trivial task of interpolating spatial data, this paper considers how to help users gain the necessary knowledge to complete their task and minimise the possibility of methodological error. We observe that both infometric ( or cognitive) knowledge and statistical knowledge are usually required to find a solution that jointly and efficiently meets the requirements of a particular user and data set. Using the class of interpolation methods as an example, we outline an approach that combines knowledge from multiple sources and argue the case for designing a prototype 'intelligent' module that can sit between a user and a given GIS. The knowledge needed to assist with the task of interpolation is constructed as a network of rules, structured as a binary decision tree, that assist the user in selecting an appropriate method according to task-related knowledge ( or 'purpose') and the characteristics of the data sets. The decision tree triggers exploratory diagnostics that are run on the data sets when a rule requires to be evaluated. Following evaluation of the rules, the user is advised which interpolation method might be and should not be considered for the data set. Any parameters required to interpolate the particular data set ( e. g. a distance decay parameter for Inverse Distance Weighting) are also supplied through subsequent optimisation and model selection routines. The rationale of the decision process may be examined, so the 'intelligent interpolator' also acts as a learning tool.
