The mobility of researchers has not been studied in Brazil since the 1970s, when the country's demographic panorama was quite different from the present. The results indicate a rather intense migratory pattern, particularly between States of the country, and that the most frequent motive was the search for better work conditions. The Southeast region is the greatest magnet for skilled human resources, and the mobility pattern there is much complex merely than a migratory route from the North and Northeast to Rio de Janeiro and S (a) over tildeo Paulo. Finally, the data suggest that migration increased during the 1990s and that there was an appreciable brain drain out of the country.

After giving a definition, a sample of 289 journals was constructed. Orders for these journals between 1996 and 1999 were analyzed. Based on data from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), the possible relationships between orders to INIST-CNRS and the impact of the journals on the scientific community were considered. Finally, we studied the relationships between document orders to INIST-CNRS and the indexation of European pharmaceutical journals in bibliographic databases.

"Characterization of the impact of sets of scientific papers: The Garfield (Impact) Factor" Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology 55(5):431-435 March 2004 Message-ID: PETER VINKLER : pvinkler at chemres.hu TITLE Characterization of the impact of sets of scientific papers: The Garfield (Impact) Factor AUTHOR Vinkler P JOURNAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 55 (5): 431-435 MAR 2004 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 18 Times Cited: 0 Explanation Abstract: The Garfield (impact) Factor (GF) is one of the most frequently used scientometric indicators. In the present article it is shown that the main factors determining the value of the mean GF representing a set of journals are the number of articles published recently (articles referencing) related to those published in a previous time period (articles to be referenced) and the mean number of references in journal papers referring to the time period selected. It has been proved further that GF corresponds to the mean chance for citedness of journal papers. A new indicator, Specific Impact Contribution (SIC), is introduced, which characterizes the contribution of a subset of articles or a journal to the total impact of the respective articles or journals. The SIC index relates the share of a journal in citations divided by that in publications within a set of papers or journals appropriately selected. It is shown, however, that the normalized GFs of journals and the normalized SIC indicators are identical measures within any set of journals selected. It may be stated therefore that Garfield Factors of journals (calculated correctly) are appropriate scientometric measures for characterizing the relative international eminence of journals within a set of journals appropriately selected. It is demonstrated further that SIC indicators (and so GF indexes) correspond to the (number of citations per paper) indicators generally used, within the same set of papers. Excerpt from paper ... "CONCLUSIONS >From the results presented herein it follows that the Garfield (Impact) Factor (GF) should not be assumed as the mean citedness of papers of a given journal. On the contrary, the Garfield (Impact) Factor of a journal measures the relative contribution of the journal to the total impact of journals devoted to the respective scientific field. Consequently, GF characterizes the information channel (the journal) as an entity and does not characterize the mean paper therein. >From the results presented it can be concluded that the Garfield (impact) Factor (GF) can be assumed as a measure of chance for citedness, and is determined primarily by the rate of the relative growth of publications and the mean number of references. Theoretically, no scientometric elements more appropriate than citations and papers can be offered by scientometrics for characterizing the international impact of scientific journals. The share of a journal or a subset of papers in citations divided by the respective share in papers (Specific Impact Contribution; SIC) within a set of journals (or papers) selected seems to be an appropriate measure for characterizing the relative standing of a journal or a subset of papers within the respective set. Thus, it has been proved that normalized Garfield Factors and normalized Specific Impact Contributions are identical measures. [The normalization can be made to the mean GF (or SIC, respectively) of the respective set studied or to the mean of journals devoted to the respective field or subfield.] Consequently, the respective ratios of GFs or SICs of the journals are also identical. It can be stated therefore, that Garfield Factors of journals (calculated correctly) are appropriate scientometric measures for characterizing the relative international eminence of journals within a set of journals appropriately selected."

White : whitehd at drexel.edu Barry Wellman : wellman at chass.utoronto.ca TITLE Does citation reflect social structure? Longitudinal evidence from the "Globenet" interdisciplinary research group AUTHOR White HD, Wellman B, Nazer N JOURNAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 55 (2): 111-126 JAN 15 2004 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 36 Times Cited: 0 Explanation Abstract: Many authors have posited a social component in citation, the consensus being that the citers and citees often have interpersonal as well as intellectual ties. Evidence for this belief has been rather meager, however, in part because social networks researchers have lacked bibliometric data (e.g., pairwise citation counts from online databases), and citation analysts have lacked sociometric data (e.g., pairwise measures of acquaintanceship). In 1997 Nazer extensively measured personal relationships and communication behaviors in what we call "Globenet," an international group of 16 researchers from seven disciplines that was established in 1993 to study human development. Since Globenet's membership is known, it was possible during 2002 to obtain citation records* for all members in databases of the Institute for Scientific Information. This permitted examination of how members cited each other (intercited) in journal articles over the past three decades and in a 1999 book to which they all contributed. It was also possible to explore links between the intercitation data and the social and communication data. Using network- analytic techniques, we look at the growth of intercitation over time, the extent to which it follows disciplinary or interdisciplinary lines, whether it covaries with degrees of acquaintanceship, whether it,reflects Globenet's organizational structure, whether it is associated, with particular in-group communication patterns, and whether it is related to the cocitation of Globenet members. Results show cocitation to be a powerful predictor of intercitation in the journal articles, while being an editor or co-author is an important predictor in the book. Intellectual ties based on shared content did better as predictors than content-neutral social ties like friendship. However, interciters in Globenet communicated more than did noninterciters.

Our results show that acknowledgment has gradually established itself as a constitutive element of academic writing-one that provides a revealing insight into the structural nature of subauthorship collaboration in science. Complementary data on rates of coauthorship are also presented to highlight the growing importance of teamwork and the increasing division of labor in contemporary chemistry. The results of this study are compared with the findings of a parallel study of collaboration in both the social sciences and the humanities.

AUTHOR : Sherwill-Navarro PJ, Wallace AL JOURNAL : JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION 92 (1): 34-45 JAN 2004 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 180 Times Cited: 0 Explanation Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the impact in the health care literature of research articles that provided evidence of the value of library services (including MEDLINE) as an element of quality health care. Data Sources/Selection: Four research articles on the relationship between use of library services and quality health care were selected as "primary articles" from a MEDLINE search using appropriate Medical Subject Heading. Primary articles met the following criteria: written in English, reported research, related to clinical care, and published before 1995. Data Extraction: The technique of citation analysis was used to measure the impact of the primary articles on the subsequent literature. The number, authorship, type, and publication venue of articles citing the primary articles were determined using ISI Web of Science, MEDLINE, other electronic resources, and the citing articles themselves. For the 146 English-language citing articles, the article type (i.e., advocacy, instructional, research) was noted; and, for those that reported research, the use to which the author put the cited material was determined. Results: The primary articles were cited more often than the average articles published that year in the same journals. At the time of the study each article had been cited almost every year since publication. Of the 146 citing articles written in English, 43% were written by librarians, 38% by physicians, 12% by librarians with physicians. The majority were published in medical journals, followed in order of decreasing frequency by the Bulletin of the Medical Library Association, information science journals, and health administration journals. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that published research on the value of medical library services has an impact on the literature. These articles are read and cited and continue to be of value.

Articles included in the study were identified using the PubMed website. The number of publications in infectious disease journals produced by authors in the European Union experienced an exponential growth from 461 (19.2% of world production) in 1991 to 2,401 (35.9%) in 2001. The mean impact factor increased from 2.259 in 1991 to 3.001 in 2001. The leading countries in the total number of publications were the UK, France, and Germany. After taking population figures into account, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland headed the list, and after correcting for gross domestic product, the greatest producers were Sweden, Finland, and the UK. Overall, the scientific production and repercussion index of European Union research on infectious diseases experienced a notable rise during the last decade of the 20th century.

This database is now on-line as part of ISIs Web of Science and covers over thirty million papers containing nearly a half-billion cited references. For each source paper included, backward and foreward links are provided to the cited and citing papers. ISI also publishes additional databases such as the Journal Citation Reports and Journal Performance Indicators which can provide qualitative and quantitative information on thousands of journals, including impact factors. Using these files and a variety of bibliometric techniques we demonstrate how to identify the core journals of materials science, ceramics, and nanoceramics. Other ISI resources such as ISI Essential Science Indicators identify the leading countries, institutions, and authors of materials science. The output of a WoS search is used to analyze over 10,000 papers on nano-crystals and nano-ceramics. We have identified dozens of highly-cited papers, which are visualized as a series of historiographs; and topological maps These HistCite, maps and tables demonstrate the chronological development of the field [1].

In our bibliometric analysis (n=576), we used indexed material published between 1971 and 2000. The content analysis (n=269) covered the period 1971 to 1995 and included unpublished material. We found recent rapid growth in overall output. Brazil, Chile, and Mexico contributed mostly empirical research, while Ecuador and Argentina produced more conceptual studies. We found, in the literature reviewed, a relative neglect of gender, race, and ethnicity issues. We also found remarkable diversity in research designs, however, along with strong consideration of ecological and ethnographic methods absent in other research traditions.

We analyse the distribution of authors and works, the obsolescence and its dispersion, and the distribution of the literature by topic, year, and source type. We conclude that: (i) there has been a constant interest on the part of researchers; (ii) the most studied topics were the techniques and methods employed and the general aspects of automatic indexing; (iii) the productivity of the authors does fit a Lotka distribution (D-max = 0.02 and critical value = 0.054); (iv) the annual aging factor is 95%; and (v) the dispersion of the literature is low.

"Methods for reporting on the targets of links from national systems of university Web sites" Information Processing & Management 40(1):125-144 January 2004 Message-ID: Mike Thelwall : m.thelwall at wlv.ac.uk TITLE Methods for reporting on the targets of links from national systems of university Web sites AUTHOR Thelwall M JOURNAL INFORMATION PROCESSING & MANAGEMENT 40 (1): 125-144 JAN 2004 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 46 Times Cited: 0 Explanation Abstract: Whilst hyperlinks within Web sites may be primarily created for navigation purposes, those between sites are a rich source of information about the content and use of the Web. As a result there is a need to derive descriptive statistics about them, both to help understand the underlying communication processes and so that policy makers can gain insights into the use of online information by those located within their constituency. It is known, however, that using the individual Web link source page as the basic unit of counting is problematical because of the number and size of link anomalies. The challenge addressed in this paper is that of developing methods to assess techniques for counting links from groups of large university Web sites (site outlinks). Two methods to assess the reliability of link counts are developed and applied to judge which of seven advanced document models are most appropriate in each case. The most generally applicable method used is an internal consistency test based upon a highly simplified model of Web linking behaviour. The data used comes from crawls of UK, Australian and New Zealand universities. The standard domain advanced Web document model emerges as the logical choice for comparison purposes within this set.

The few commented excerpts here are just to amplify a few points for emphasis: About whether to provide OA by self-archiving in OAI-compliant or in just a plain-vanilla website, I agree completely with Peter that the most important thing by far is to provide OA at all! Making it OAI-compliant is only a perk (though a desirable and easy to provide perk!). Google Rules! and will not need much tweaking either to (1) restrict search to, or add extra weight to OAI-compliant contents, or (2) to restrict ranking to, or add extra weight to citation links (usually in articles in OAI-compliant contents) over ordinary links. The easiest way to integrate this in one's mind is to realize that OAI-compliance is not dependent on *location* but on *metadata-tagging*: OAI-compliance just means tagging "author," "title," "journalname", "date" etc., as such. And of course the all-important tag "peer-reviewed postprint" or "unrefereed preprint". With those tags to go by, google, could in principle pick out what is and is not a journal article, and could serve you journal articles only, if you please, ranked only by the (citation) links between them -- and with inverted full-text search! Without the tags, google will still find an article if its OA, and PageRank will get it to the top of the hit list, but it definitely will not be the same as searching all and only journal articles. There will be other look-alike junk too, and PageRank will not be infallible in shuffling it to the bottom of the hit list. (Sooner or later PageRank is bound to be helped out also by download-sniffers that weight hits also by the correlation between downloads and citations 6-24 months later: http://citebase.eprints.org/analysis/correlation.php ). So OA is good, OAI-tagged is better. > When asked about archiving inertia, some faculty say that putting > an eprint on a personal web site is just as good as putting it in an > OAI-compliant archive. Google will find an eprint on a personal web > site and make it visible to those who might need it for their research Google will find the eprint if it is out there, and probably put it on the top of the hit list if that was what you were looking for. But on a keyword full-text search on a topic, rather than a targetted search for a specific article, google will still deliver a lot of junk too, and PageRank will not ensure that all the OA articles come on top and the junk below if the OA articles are not OAI-tagged as such. > So, is Google good enough? If not, why not? > The OA-OAI proponent might concede that eprints on personal web > sites can be OA. "But OA-OAI archiving enhances visibility more > than Google indexing does." OAI-compliance does substantially advance visibility for items in full-text keyword searches because it can be restricted to the journal article literature alone, whereas google will also retrieve great quantities of junk hits that even PageRank will not reliably relegate to the bottom. This is a quantitative question. It can be tested. But I very much doubt that if fed sample keyword searches, PageRank will successfully sort it all into journal-articles, top, vs. all-other-stuff, bottom. We tend to intuitively evaluate the (truly uncanny) power of google based on the "I'm feeling lucky" case, in which there is just one target, or a few, that I'm looking for, and google miraculously delivers them to me at or near the top of its huge hit-list. But what no one has tested is how google fares quantitatively when there are *many* relevant targets (as in a literature search in ISI's web of science), but mixed in with a lot of look-alike junk (which is absent from the ISI database): What percentage of the many targets actually appears on the top of the hit list, interspersed with what percent of junk, and what percentage of the targets ends up missed, interspersed instead with the much larger mass of junk further down? This can't be determined from experience with the one/few case alone. (We tend to forget or miss even with one/few, when the target is *not* anywhere near the top of our list, rare as this may be! We operate with the usual "confirmation bias," and that's how we remember the experience.) Nor is it clear -- even if google can successfully partition journal-article vs. other hits on full-text searches -- whether the rank order PageRank delivers within the journal-article segment is optimal (until/unless there is enough OA literature that is citation-linked to allow citation-link ranks to prevail, as in http://citebase.eprints.org/). > Google has a large and useful cache that greatly mitigates the damage > of link rot. Yes, but as far as I know, that cache only lasts a month, and then it rots too, and the only recourse left becomes the WayBack Machine! (Please correct me if I am wrong about this.) > It's true that OAI tools will provide better visibility to those > who search by citations. But talented Google searchers will prefer > to search by content-based keywords, not by citations. If they do, > then they will likely find the same articles by a different route, > though they will be combined with all the other articles that also > satisfy the keywords. Insofar as the size of the hit list is a > problem, see the next OAI argument. I have addressed the problem of the size of the hit list above, and alas I am not sure that what follows below solves the problem: It is not the size of the hit-list that is a problem. The problem is when a keyword search nets, say, 100 relevant journal articles in ISI's web-of-science and (let us say, for the sake of argument), all 100 also happen to be OA: Will the first 100 items in a webwide google search be all and only those 100 relevant journal articles? If not, how bad will the mix be? That is the real question with webwide keyword based searches on content that is mostly not journal articles, but without any tag for what *is* journal articles. > In Google, you may get more hits than you could ever scan, and many > of them will be worse than useless, but Google's PageRank algorithm > does a pretty good job of putting the ones you want near the top. How good a job, when it is a keyword search and the list of relevant hits is large, but the background noise is far larger? This could be quantitatively benchmarked using a known set of OA articles. > Another place where Google has the advantage is full-text indexing. Agreed! A *huge* advantage (though there is no reason the OAI engines can't add this too -- or even co-opt google to do it en passant). But it is full-text search of the journal literature, with many relevant hits, that is the critical test for google. > Depositing eprints in OAI-compliant archives makes those eprints > fodder for all future OAI-compliant data services.

I could hardly agree more! http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/self-archiving_files/Slide0008.gif http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/self-archiving_files/Slide0009.gif > We know that providing OA does not require publisher setbacks > because some publishers are providing OA and others are considering > experiments with it. And let us not leave out the third and most important category of publishers! The "gold" publishers are the OA publishers/journals who have adopted the OA publishing model or are experimenting with it (c. 5%). But the "green" publishers/journals are the ones who have *not* adopted the OA publishing model, hence are not providing OA themselves, yet they have given their authors the "green light" to go ahead and do provide the OA themselves, by self-archiving. And these now constitute 58% of publishers and 83% of journals (including the OA journals, of course). So only 42% of publishers and 17% of journals are still "gray" on OA! http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/self-archiving_files/Slide0036.gif http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/self-archiving_files/Slide0037.gif > The same conclusion follows from the fact > that OA and TA can coexist, as we know from present experience. > We can discuss the long-term prospects for their coexistence, but it > seems very likely that they will coexist for the indefinite future > while only their proportions will vary.

No need for authors to speculate about hypothetical future developments in journal publishing in the online age: What authors need to do is to self-archive their own articles!

It seems that these are common problems when using names to identify authors and titles to identify publication channels. The same author can be addressed with many different name strings. The same publication can be addressed with many different titles. To really solve these problems, you need to build a relational dataset where every author paper, and publication channel is identified by a string that never changes. This is an almost impossible task. I am working on it. For the economics discipline, I founded and designed RePEc, see http://repec.org. For publication channels, identification can be done by hand since it is a set of a few thousand at most for a given discipline. Papers can be quite easily identified by citation data from within the publication channels that they are in. For authors, you can have them register and tell a bibliographic system something about themselves and then search for the papers that they authored. This is done in the RePEc through the RePEc author service, see http://authors.repec.org. Please do not register there, this is for economists. Wait until I have built a similar service for computing and library and information science. This is on my to-do list.

Message-ID: Gene, Thanks. First, a clarification...I do use the truncation sign, i.e., I search on "SLOAN B*". I wasn't saying I searched "SLOAN B" and/or "SLOAN BG". I was saying the names were listed that way. You said that "two of the citations were in error and did not CITE the correct initial page." Well, yes and no. Yes, they did not cite the initial page number of my paper. But no, the citations weren't in error from the authors' perspectives. I went to the two citing papers, and in both cases the authors appeared to be using a citation style that cites the specific page number to which they are referring. So, they are not mistakenly saying that my paper (which begins on page 117) begins on page 122 or page 135. The respective authors are referring readers to something on pages 122 and page 135.

When I look at the results for one of my cited works, the main entry shows 12 citations. But there are three additional entries in the WoS search results that also show citations to this same paper. In the main entry my name is entered as "SLOAN B", and the journal name is properly abbreviated as "LIBR TRENDS". This entry lists 12 citations. There are two other entries with my name entered as "SLOAN B", but with the journal title abbreviated as "LIB TRENDS" rather than "LIBR TRENDS". Each of these entries lists one citation. Then there is a third with my name listed as "SLOAN BG" with the journal abbreviated as "LIB TRENDS", rather than "LIBR TRENDS". My middle initial is indeed "G", but I did not use it in the paper in question. I've noticed similar things for a paper published in the Journal of Academic Librarianship. There is one entry with the journal name abbreviated "J ACAD LIBRARIANSHIP" that lists 4 citations, and another with the journal name as "J ACAD LIBR" (the proper abbreviation), with 2 citations. I've noticed something similar with a third paper, but I won't bore you with the details. I was wondering how common this is, or if it's just an unlucky coincidence that I have several papers with this problem?

Message-ID: Bernie: Okay, so it was a variation. The question is whether you want that changed or not? If the system changed it to the first page of the article then you would not know that the author had cited a specific page unless you went to the full text. There are those who prefer that these variations be changed in order to increase the citation count, and those who would object. In a chemical search the specific page is often more relevant, especially if the paper is frequently cited.

Gene, Thanks. First, a clarification...I do use the truncation sign, i.e., I search on "SLOAN B*". I wasn't saying I searched "SLOAN B" and/or "SLOAN BG". I was saying the names were listed that way. You said that "two of the citations were in error and did not CITE the correct initial page." Well, yes and no. Yes, they did not cite the initial page number of my paper. But no, the citations weren't in error from the authors' perspectives. I went to the two citing papers, and in both cases the authors appeared to be using a citation style that cites the specific page number to which they are referring. So, they are not mistakenly saying that my paper (which begins on page 117) begins on page 122 or page 135. The respective authors are referring readers to something on pages 122 and page 135. Bernie Sloan -----Original Message----- From: Garfield, Eugene [mailto:garfield at CODEX.CIS.UPENN.EDU] Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 3:12 PM To: SIGMETRICS at listserv.utk.edu Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] Multiple occurences of cited work in Web of Scie nce? There is nothing unusual here. What you failed to say is that two of the citations were in error and did not CITE the correct initial page. Further, the person who cited you as BG also cited the wrong page so there was no basis for unifying it. Had the correct page been cited it would have been unified. I had no trouble finding these because I used the truncation sign when I searched SLOAN B*. The source entry for the article in question can only record the citations that match the record. It is always safer to check the cited reference section in case there are author variations or errors in the citations.

In some research fields, such as high-energy physics, online posting of preprints is standard practice. In others, such as astronomy, the maintenance of large shared online data banks is common, fundamentally changing the way in which scientists operate. Other changes are less dramatic, but more universal, such as the widespread creation of public home pages for individual researchers and research groups. There is a need for assessing the impact of the myriad web uses and for the identification of the potential and actual impact of the web. This workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss quantitative and quantitative approaches to studying academic web use. The themes of the conference will be: * Scientific collaboration and communication on the Web: new opportunities, new social organisation. * Measuring science on the web: new techniques. * Publishing research online: adaptation and innovation. * Disciplinary differences in web use. * Individual case studies. * Large scale analyses. Submission Process The structure of the workshop is different from the usual format. The aim is to create a lively discussion about relevant topics rather than to be based around a few speakers giving presentations. The following procedure is therefore proposed. Those interested in participating should submit to Mike Thelwall m.thelwall at wlv.ac.uk by June 26, 2004 an abstract (750 words maximum) of a position paper dealing with any aspect of the above topics. Abstracts will be refereed. Authors of accepted contributions will be notified by July 31, 2004. They will be invited to provide an expanded abstract or short paper (2500 words maximum) and to register for the workshop on the conference web site by August 31, 2004. Expanded abstracts and short papers will be circulated among workshop participants (and possibly posted on the ASIS&T/EC web site) with a view to allow for an advance discussion that will take place on the ASIS&T/EC listserv. At the workshop the discussion will be arranged around 3 main topics: scientific collaboration and communication, measuring science on the web, and publishing research online. For each one, participants will be invited to very briefly summarize their positions before a general discussion takes place. We anticipate that most participants will have the opportunity to present. Participants wishing to distribute their position statements as handouts or posters are welcome to do so. Summaries of the sessions will be published in Cybermetrics and Online Information Review From loet at LEYDESDORFF.NET Tue May 11 17:03:31 2004 From: loet at LEYDESDORFF.NET (Loet Leydesdorff) Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 23:03:31 +0200 Subject: measurement of the knowledge base of the Dutch economy Message-ID: Measuring the Knowledge Base of an Economy in terms of Triple Helix Relations among 'Technology, Organization, and Territory' * apologies for cross-postings The interrelationships among technology, organization, and territory in an economic system have been considered as a 'holy trinity' from the perspective of regional development studies. The mutual information in three dimensions was proposed as an indicator of the surplus value (entropy) in triple-helix configurations. When this probabilistic entropy is negative, the configuration reduces the uncertainty that prevails at the systems level. Data about more than a million Dutch companies were used for testing this indicator. This data contains postal codes (geography), sector codes (proxy of technology), and firm sizes in terms of number of employees (proxy of organization). The knowledge base is mapped at three levels: national (NUTS-1), provincial (NUTS-2), and regional (NUTS-3). The levels can be cross-tabled with the knowledge-intensive sectors and services. The results suggest that medium-tech sectors contribute to the knowledge base of an economy more than high-tech ones. Knowledge-intensive services have an uncoupling effect, but less so at the high-tech end of these services.

Small-world link structures across an academic web space : a library and information science approach. PhD thesis. Royal School of Library and Information Science, Copenhagen, Denmark. xxxvi, 399 p. ISBN 87-7415-276-9. Available: http://www.db.dk/lb/phd/phd-thesis.pdf [6.0 MB] Main supervisor: Peter Ingwersen Project supervisor: Mike Thelwall Assessment committee: Ronald Rousseau, Olle Persson and Niels Ole Pors Summary: The dissertation is concerned with small-world link structures in the shape of short link distances across an academic web space through paths of links from web site to web site. Small-world web spaces are concerned with core library and information science (LIS) issues as navigability and accessibility of information across vast document networks containing self-organized macro-structures constructed through distributed knowledge organization by millions of local web actors. For instance, short link distances affect the speed and exhaustivity with which web crawlers can reach and retrieve web pages when following links from web page to web page. The main research question is concerned with what types of web links, web pages and web sites function as connectors across dissimilar topical domains in an academic web space. The dissertation is situated within the new research field of webometrics concerned with the study of quantitative aspects of the construction and use of information resources, structures and technologies on the Web, drawing on bibliometric and informetric approaches. The dissertation incorporates approaches from graph theory and social network analysis into this framework. The dissertation introduces a 'corona' web graph model and a five-step methodology in order to sample, identify and characterize small-world properties by 'zooming' stepwise into more and more fine-grained web node levels among 7669 subsites harvested at 109 UK universities. Detailed case studies comprise 10 shortest path nets containing all shortest link paths in both directions between five pairs of topically dissimilar subsites. Indicative findings suggest that personal link creators, such as researchers and students, as well as computer science-related subsites may be important connectors across sites and topics in the investigated academic web space. A metaphor of crumpled-up paper is used to conceptualize small-world network structures. Further, the dissertation gives an intuitive support to how the Web may be conceived as a web of genres with a rich diversity of interlinked page genres and with genre drift, that is, changes in genres of pages along link paths. The dissertation discusses hypothesized complementarities of topical uniformity and diversity (including topic drift and genre drift) in the formation of small-world link structures. It is argued there is a need for extending the traditional overall aim and explanatory framework of LIS research, so it encompasses both convergent (goal-directed) and divergent (serendipitous) information behavior conducted by users in both 'top-down'- and 'bottom-up'-constructed information systems.

However we should try to map the routes by which research actually improves patient care and reduces illness, and develop indicators for them. We must allow for the lengthy time-scales involved and the importance of researchers being physically close to healthcare professionals, whose practice can be improved through international and governmental regulations and through approved guidelines. Each of these will depend on a body of research evidence. We must also evaluate the effects of research on policy makers and the public, who often learn about it through the World Wide Web and through the mass media, particularly newspapers. The latter provide a major bibliometric resource but one that needs to be tapped in individual countries using common standards in order to provide internationally- comparable indicators.

A new approach to measure academic inventiveness" RESEARCH EVALUATION " 12 (1): 17-27 APR 2003 Message-ID: Martin Meyer : martin.meyer at econ.kuleuven.ac.be martin.meyer at syo.fi TITLE Academic patents as an indicator of useful research? A new approach to measure academic inventiveness AUTHOR Meyer M JOURNAL RESEARCH EVALUATION 12 (1): 17-27 APR 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 18 Times Cited: 1 Abstract: Academic patents may be a more accurate measure of inventive output generated by academics than university-owned patents. Using Finnish data, a comparative analysis suggests that number of academic patents is higher not only than the number of university-owned patents but also than patents citing domestic science. Also different linkage intensities could be identified. The second part of the study tries to identify areas for further analysis and introduces some results with respect to concentration of academic inventive activity, academic contributions to national patenting and utilization of patented inventions. Finally, limitations and applicability of the overall approach are discussed.

The study plan was to see whether authors have adequately described how observer bias is minimized in their studies. Thus, a study was conducted systematically reviewing methods reported in transesophageal echocardiography articles in peer-reviewed anesthesiology journals versus those reported in peer-reviewed cardiology journals. Interventions: After MEDLINE searches of the literature published from 1997 through 1999, the authors investigated 56 anesthesiology reports and 56 randomly selected, year-matched cardiology reports. An 8-item questionnaire was developed that examined several factors: the number of observers and their experience levels, whether observers were blind to clinical data, whether low-quality images were excluded, the use of on-line or off-line analysis, and observer variability. Main Results: The analysis revealed inadequacies in reporting of important information that relates to bias and quality in 91.1% of anesthesiology and 98.2% of cardiology articles. Observer variability was not reported in 50.0% of the anesthesiology reports and 67.9% of the cardiology reports; however, difference between the 2 bodies of literature was not significant. The journal impact factor was significantly higher for the cardiology literature than for the anesthesiology literature (2.42 [0.386-10.893] v 1.07 [0.664-3.439]; median [range], p < 0.001). Conclusion: Articles reviewed had at least some inadequacies in reporting the methods to minimize observer bias in both the anesthesiology and cardiology literature. Reporting methodology standards in TEE examinations remain to be established. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

ABSSTRACT : The analysis of hyperlink structure on the Web has been employed for detecting high quality documents. Quality may correspond to the authority of a document, but could also correspond to its utility, that is how well it enables a user to browse its vicinity. We present a hyperlink analysis model, based on modelling the Web graph as an absorbing Markov chain, that can be employed for both authority and utility analysis of documents. The results of experiments for both types of hyperlink analysis underpin the importance of making this distinction. In addition, we provide evidence that support the investigation of more elaborate hyperlink analysis methods on a query-by-query basis.

Internet users need to be able to distinguish accurate information from inaccurate information. Toward this end, information professionals have published checklists for evaluating information. However, such checklists can be effective only if the proposed indicators of accuracy really do indicate accuracy. This study implements a technique for testing such indicators of accuracy and uses it to test indicators of accuracy for answers to ready reference questions. Many of the commonly proposed indicators of accuracy (e.g., that the Web site does not contain advertising) were not found to be correlated with accuracy. However, the link structure of the Internet can be used to identify Web sites that are more likely to contain accurate reference information.

The results of this study suggest that graduate students writing theses favor current research regardless of disciplinary affiliation. The length of theses increased over time and the number of citations in thesis bibliographies varied by discipline. Implications of the results for collection development and scholarship as well as areas for future research are discussed.

The analysis indicates that there is a clear predominance of the theoretical studies, as a consequence, it. is the most extended methodology used in the four journals, while descriptive by observation designs and those of qualitative nature are the ones that have a less representation on analyzed journals. In addition to this,. several final reflections about methodological uses am presented.

This paper argues for a systemic and interactive approach, combining multiple perspectives and stakeholders, while incorporating a wide range of information sources and quantitative indicators within the analytical framework of a 'scoreboard'. Context-specific and customized scoreboards show promise as a structuring tool in informed debate, indicator selection, comparative analysis and benchmarking studies of research excellence. Guidelines and recommendations are illustrated by way of a fictitious scoreboard with recent empirical data for economics research at the universities in the Netherlands.

"How do statisticians perceive statistics journals?" American Statistician 57(2):115-123 May 2003 Message-ID: Vasilis Theoharakis : theohar at alba.edu.gr TITLE How do statisticians perceive statistics journals? AUTHOR Theoharakis V, Skordia M JOURNAL AMERICAN STATISTICIAN 57 (2): 115-123 MAY 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 10 Times Cited: 1 Explanation Abstract: Since researchers and academic institutions are increasingly evaluated based on their publication record in peer reviewed journals, it is crucial to assess how the statistics community perceives statistics journals. This study presents four subjective quality metrics of statistics journals as expressed by different segments of statisticians. Based on a worldwide sample of 2,190 statisticians, our findings indicate that the research interest and geographic origin of the researcher have a significant impact on journal perceptions, which are highly correlated with a journal's total number of citations. Author Keywords: journal rankings, statistics research Addresses: Theoharakis V, ALBA, Athinas & Areos 2A, Athens 16671, Greece ALBA, Athens 16671, Greece Publisher: AMER STATISTICAL ASSOC, 1429 DUKE ST, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22314 USA IDS Number: 714CY ISSN: 0003-1305 EXCERPT : 3.3 Perceptions Versus Objective Criteria of Journal Ranking Apart from examining the perceptions about statistics journals, we also considered the relationship between worldwide journal perceptions and journal citations. We therefore calculated the correlations of our worldwide sample Inde with the Total Cites and Impact Factor (Total Cites adjusted for the number of articles published in the two previous years) of the 54 statistics journals included in the 2001 ISI Journal Citation Reports. The correlation between Total Cites and Index is .84, whereas the correlation between Impact Factor and Index is .56. Although the Impact Factor appears to be more meaningful as it was developed to eliminate the bias towards large journals over small ones and older versus new ones, our results indicate that journal perceptions are more closely related to the total number of citations. One eplanation might indeed be that perceptions are influenced by a journal's volume of publication rather than its impact. But before arriving at such a conclusion and given that we observe significant differences in journal perceptions among segments of statisticians, one may reconsider the use of citation measures provided by ISI; these measures do not focus on citations found in the statistics literature or the specific research area within statistics, but include any citation source available. This concern has been raised by other disciplines that have addressed the issue by conducting citation studies using as the source for citations the most relevant journals of the discipline rather than all available journals in a database (Aleander and Mabry 1994). 4. CONCLUSIONS The results of this survey shed some light on the perceptions of statistics journals worldwide. Findings indicate that although a leading set of journals is highly perceived, a journal perceptions differ considerably depending on the statistician's specific geographical origin, research interests and employment type. In addition, while some journals may not be perceived as toptier journals overall, they are indeed useful to researachers from specific research areas. Furthermore, we found that subjective journal perceptions are more related with a journal's total number of citations rather than its citations impact factor. This is an issue that needs to be further examined by performing a citationanalysis using as the source of citations only journals relevant to the particular area of statistics.

Available data on human capital input and geographical agglomeration allowed the estimation and comparison of efficiency measures. Nonparametric envelopment techniques were used, and robust nonparametric techniques were applied in this work for the first time for evaluating scientific productivity. They are shown to be useful tools to compute scientific productivity indicators and make institutional comparative analyses. Taking into account a large number of methodological problems, a meaningful and rigorous indirect comparison is made possible. Several possible explanations of the observed differences in productivity are commented on.

AUTHRO Thelwall M JOURNAL JOURNAL OF DOCUMENTATION 59 (2): 205-217 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 32 Times Cited: 0 Explanation Abstract: Google's PageRank is an influential algorithm that uses a model of Web use that is dominated by its link structure in order to rank pages by their estimated value to the Web community. This paper reports on the outcome of applying the algorithm to the Web sites of three national university systems in order to test whether it is capable of identifying the most important Web pages. The results are also compared with simple inlink counts. It was discovered that the highest inlinked pages do not always have the highest PageRank, indicating that the two metrics are genuinely different, even for the top pages. More significantly, however, internal links dominated external links for the high ranks in either method and superficial reasons accounted for high scores in both cases. It is concluded that PageRank is not useful for identifying the top pages in a site and that it must be combined with a powerful text matching techniques in order to get the quality of information retrieval results provided by Google.

The development and trends of KOS are discussed with reference to the online era and the Internet era. Selected current projects and activities addressing KOS interoperability issues are reviewed in terms of the languages and structures involved. The methodological analysis encompasses both conventional and new methods that have proven to be widely accepted, including derivation/modeling, translation/adaptation, satellite and leaf node linking, direct mapping, co-occurrence mapping, switching, linking through a temporary union list, and linking through a thesaurus server protocol. Methods used in link storage and management, as well as common issues regarding mapping and methodological options, are also presented. It is concluded that interoperability of KOS is an unavoidable issue and process in today's networked environment. There have been and will be many multi-lingual products and services, with many involving various structured systems. Results from recent efforts are encouraging.

During the mid to late 1950s, when computing technologies and scientific literature both experienced rapid growth, theories on information and communication as applied to indexing and retrieval were gradually established, as disucssed inTaube's five-volume series Studies in Coordinate Indeing published in 1953-1959 (Taube, 1953-); Eugene Garfield's Citation Indexes for Science published in Science in 1955 (Garfield, 1955) (http:// www.garfield.library.upenn.edu/papers/science_v122(3159)p108y1955.html) and the 1958 International Conference on Scientific Information (NAS, 1959) (http://books.nap.edu/books/NI000518/html/R19.html#pagetop). Putting theories to practice, Chemical Titles (1960-), a current awareness tool for chemistry resulting from Hans PeterLuhn's research (Luhn, 1961), began publication in 1960. Within ten years, computerized large-scale bibliographic processing materialized through NASA's STAR (Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports), MEDLARS,ERIC, And the Science Citation Index. The batch processing systems of the 1960s were folled by the online interactive retrieval systems of the 1970s and beyond (Lancaster & Warner, 1993), including NASA-RECON, DIALOG, MEDLINE, LEXIS, BRS, etc. The number of databases offered by DIALOG increased from three to over 200 between 1972 and 1984 and to over 450 by 1995.

The first stage covers the conception of a paper, its submission to a journal, possible revisions due to comments made by (anonymous) reviewers, and acceptance of the manuscript, among other aspects. The second stage concerns the eventual publication of the paper and its academic life-cycle, which is usually measured by a citation score. Next to describing this process in some detail, this paper describes the results of an empirical analysis of a database which includes data on a range of aspect of the publication process. Descriptive statistics give insights as to how long it takes (on average) before the editor returns to the author with the reviews, and also how long it takes for the editor to make a final decision on acceptance, based on a revised manuscript. Econometric models are used to see if, for example, the number of pages, the number of pages, the number of authors, and the number of previous rejections have an impact on these times. Also, it is examined if a special issue makes a difference. Finally, it is studied if the editorial process and observable properties of the paper have any effect on the number of citations, which can be seen as a measure of quality.

A search of the Medline database for papers published between 1992 and 2002 was made using the Medical Search Heading terms 'orthodontics', 'malocclusion', 'cephalometry', and 'facial bones and growth'. Two independent reviewers selected the articles of Swedish origin and categorized each article according to research design and principal topic. Overall, 15,571 articles in orthodontic research were found, and the Swedish contribution was 1.9% with the majority of these (71.5%) being submitted by universities. Most of the Swedish articles (84.5%) had been published in 10 journals and many high-quality studies with orthodontic interest were published in nonorthodontic journals with higher impact factor scores than the orthodontic journals. Every second study was prospective, and of these, 15 (5.2% of all Swedish articles) were randomized clinical trials (RCTs). It was found that nearly every third study, prospective as well as retrospective, was uncontrolled. The main classification was treatment studies (51.9%), followed by development (18.6%) and diagnostic information (10.7%) studies. Thus, the majority of the articles evaluated therapeutic interventions; however, although the RCT is the preferred study design in evaluation studies, few used this method. In an era focused on evidence-based medicine, studies with an RCT design will be the future challenge for research in the field of orthodontics.

Whereas innovation in the pharmaceutical industry is closely tied to both basic and applied research, innovation in the semiconductor industry depends mainly upon applied research. Surprisingly, many firms perform little basic research, but they produce many innovations. Within each industry, firms pursue different R&D strategies: firms that emphasize basic research absorb more basic scientific knowledge than those that emphasize applied research. These findings suggest that future research must carefully consider how industry context and the composition of R&D mediate the relationship between research and innovation. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Between 1981 and 1997, these firms produced 49,121 relevant applied publications, 15,294 relevant basic publications and 32,076 relevant patents. I analyzed the citations contained within these patents to the top 30 basic journals and the top 30 applied journals. Only a small number of journals are included, but this does not pose a problem because theyconstitute the core journals in the field of semi-conductor research.

Analyses are based on the psychology literature documented in PsycINFO, covering mainly publications from the Anglo-American region, and PSYNDEX, covering publications from the German-speaking countries, for the years 1977 to 2000. Results show that both literature bodies on gerontopsychology have steadily grown, in absolute terms, since the beginning of the last quarter of the 20th century. The geropsychology literature in the German-speaking countries has grown faster than the Anglo-American literature. In terms of a relative frequency view, the findings support the notion that geropsychology has found a clear and stable position within psychology as a whole in both research communities, contributing 1-3% to the overall psychology literature and 8-15% (PsycINFO) respectively 30-50% (PSYNDEX) to the overall developmental psychology literature since 1978.

Clin Chem, Belvededere Road Burton Upon Trent DE13 ORB, Staffs, England EXCERPTS : Background : A previous survey has highlighted the fact that most individuals in chemical pathology identifiable from specialist society membership failed to publish material in Medline cited journals during a five year period. It could be considered that published research that is not cited in other work is not useful unless it has achieved visibility, as demonstrated by citation in another research publication. Aims: To determine whether the frequency of research publication is associated with research visibility. Methods: A random selection from the previous survey was investigated to determine whether the frequency of research publication is associated with research visibility. Results: There was a logarithmic relation between the frequency of publication and visibility, with an increasing probability of citation as publication frequency increases. Conclusions: If academic activity is to survive then individuals must stay active in research; this requires a continuing commitment to a tradition of support for individuals at all stages of their careers engaging in research. Take Home Messages: - In chemical pathology, more active researchers produce work with a higher impact factor and citation rate than relatively inactive researchers. - The use of citation rates and journal impact factors is a common but inappropriate way of judging the quality of research, although these measures are used by grant funding bodies and university departments. - If academic activity is to survive, then individuals must stay active in research; This requires a continuing commitment to a tradition of support for individuals of all stages of their careers engaging in research.

Message-ID: B.N.Sampat : bhaven.sampat at pubpolicy.gatech.edu TITLE Changes in university patent quality after the Bayh-Dole act: a re-examination AUTHOR Sampat BN, Mowery DC, Ziedonis AA JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION 21 (9): 1371-1390 NOV 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 27 Times Cited: 0 Explanation Abstract: The Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 facilitated the retention by universities of patent rights resulting from government funded academic research, thus encouraging university entry into patenting and licensing. Though the Act is widely recognized to be a major change in federal policy towards academic research, surprisingly little empirical analysis has been directed at assessing its impacts on the academy and on university-industry research relationships. An important exception is the work of Henderson et al. [Rev. Econ. Stat. 80 (1998) 119-127] which examined the impact of Bayh-Dole on the quality of university patents, as measured by the number of times they are cited in subsequent patents. The authors found that the quality of academic patents declined dramatically after Bayh-Dole, a finding that has potentially important policy implications. In this paper, we revisit this influential finding. By using a longer stream of patent citations data, we show that the results of the Henderson et al. study reflect changes in the intertemporal distribution of citations to university patents, rather than a significant change in the total number of citations these patents eventually receive. This has important implications not only for the evaluation of Bayh-Dole, but also for future research using patent citations as economic indicators. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Patent-based measures have been utilized to measure innovative output for several decades (Griliches, 1990). The large variance in the economic and technological significance of individual patents, however, means that simple patent counts are noisy indicators of innovative output. But weighting patents by the number of times they are cited in subsequent patents yields a better measure of the technological importance of these patents (see Trajtenberg, 1990 for one of the first applications of this measure). Citations to one patent by many subsequent patents suggests either that numerous inventions draw on the knowledge embodied in that patent, and / or that this antecedent patent has opened up a significant new field of inventive activity, within which follow-on patents must carefully differentiate their contribution from the prior art represented by this patent and others. Scholars have also used citation-weighted patent counts as measures of the private value of an invention to the patentholder (Hall et al., 2000; Shane and Klock, 1997;Austin, 1994; Harhoff et al., 1999, Sampat and Ziedonis, 2003), and still other empirical work has shown that more heavily cited patents are more likely to be the subject of litigation, another measure of their economic value (Lanjouw and Schankerman, 2001). CONCLUSION Our analysis of citations to university patents before and after the Bayh- Dole Act suggests that there is no decline in the "quality" of university patents during the 1980s. The quality decline observed by HJT reflects truncation of the citations data as well as some change in the intertemporal distribution of citations to university patents. These findings are consistent with earlier results (Mowery and Ziedonis, 2000; Mowery et al., 2002) that also used longer citation-data time series than were available to HJT(17). The sensitivity of these results to truncation and the difficulties in controlling for truncation in the face of shifts in citation lags also highlight the sensitivity of patent-citations analyses to the construction of the relevant datasets.

Rothoerl : rolf.rothoerl at klinik.uni-regensburg.de TITLE Level of evidence and citation index in current neurosurgical publications AUTHOR Rothoerl RD, Klier J, Woertgen C, Brawanski A JOURNAL NEUROSURGICAL REVIEW 26 (4): 257-261 OCT 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 40 Times Cited: 0 Explanation Abstract: Systematic clinical reviews or meta-analyses offer scientifically valid sources of clinical information. They provide information in a concise form and can contribute to clinical quality management. Such studies, however, are only able to reflect the quality of the articles reviewed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of the neurosurgical literature according to evidence-based medicine (EBM) standards. We reviewed all articles published in 1999 in three major neurosurgical journals. These articles were subdivided according to the level of evidence (LOE) scale (from 0 to V), article type, and citation index. Nine hundred eighty-two articles were published in these journals in 1999. Of these, 346 (35%) were clinical studies, 287 (29%) case reports, 153 (16%) experimental studies, 122 (13%) technical reports, and 74 ( 8%) other types. Subdivision according to LOE was: Ia 0.3%, Ib 2.5%, IIa 0.2%, IIb 4.3%, IIc 9.5%, IIIa 0.1%, IIIb 3.9%, IV 22.4%, and V 1.6%. Fifty-five percent of all published studies were case reports, experimental studies, technical reports, or others and thus could not be subdivided according to the EBM standards. The number of articles published with high LOE seems to be rather low in 1999. If these data reflect overall publication practice, it seems unclear whether enough articles with high LOE are published to propose scientifically sound clinical treatment suggestions according to EBM standards.

OA Eprint archives will not only provide early-days metrics and predictors in the form of download and citation counts for the published final drafts (postprints), but also for the even earlier-days pre-refereeing preprints. And other, richer digitometric measures will develop too, such as co-citation statistics (already available with citebase), Google PageRank-like weightings, but using citations rather than links, Hub/Authority analysis, co-text semantic analysis, correlation and prediction, time-series analysis, and much more. All it awaits is the growth of the Open Access Corpus. Stevan Harnad REFERENCES Hitchcock, S. Carr, L., Jiao, Z., Bergmark, D., Hall, W., Lagoze, C. & Harnad, S.

TITLE : Randomised controlled trials and publication trends in periodontal research during 1980-2000 AUTHOR : Sjogren P, Halling A JOURNAL: JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PERIODONTOLOGY 29 (12): 1112-1117 DEC 2002 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 21 Times Cited: 0 Explanation Abstract: Objectives: To study publication trends, as well as the number and proportion of randomised controlled trials covering different areas of periodontal research (RCT-Ps). Material and methods: The study was based on MEDLINE searches (MeSH terms) for the period 1980-2000. The RCT-Ps (n = 675) were examined for relevance for different areas of periodontal research, journals of publication, and the countries of origin. Results: In periodontal research the annual number of publications had increased from 162 in 1980 to 440 in 2000. Moreover, clinical trials in periodontal research (CT-Ps) had increased more than 10-fold, and RCT-Ps more than 15-fold. More than 4 out of 10 RCT-Ps covered the areas 'periodontal surgery' and,gingivitis and plaque treatment or prevention'. More than 6 out of 10 RCT-Ps in total and more than 8 out of 10 RCT-Ps about 'periodontal surgery', were published in two different journals. U.S.A was the most common country of origin of RCT-Ps, contributing to almost 4 out of 10 RCT-Ps during 1988-2000. Conclusion: The annual number of RCT-Ps increased substantially during 19802000, and a few clinical research areas predominated. Future research should give priority to areas where clinical evidence is scarce and where high-quality RCT-Ps are most needed.

AUTHOR Pritchard EE JOURNAL ASIS 1999: Proceedings of the 62nd ASIS Annual Meeting, Vol:36, 1999 36.1999. p.228-239. Information Today Inc, Medford Abstract Tenopir and King (1998) reported journal articles five years and older are found through "citations" among university scientists 13.3% of the time and among non-university scientists 42.1% of the time. University scientists ranked finding journal articles from "other persons" and "other" more than by "citations." Non-university scientists " ranked using "citations the highest for finding older articles. Clearly this shows linking online journals to the full text of older cited articles would prove to be a great convenience to scientists reading recent articles. This research discusses how to make the best choices for converting journals retrospectively to digital and online format. The Literature cited was analyzed to find 1.) the age of the literature used over time and 2.) the mix of types of literature of the discipline. The disciplines studied were ecology and biochemistry because of several differences between them. Based upon the results, differences do exist between the two disciplines in the ages of literature used. The results show that if 98 percent or more of the literature is included, retrospective conversion for discipline of ecology would be more valuable than would biochemistry for the same number of journal articles. The second part of the study discussed some possible screening methods before doing an extensive citation analysis of a discipline's journal articles. Ecology articles cited books seven times more than did biochemistry articles. This may be an additional indicator that ecology has an older, more stable body of literature when compared to biochemistry. This and additional indicators will be helpful in the initial identification.

Two scientists are considered connected if they have authored a paper together and explicit networks of such connections are constructed by using data drawn from a number of databases, including MEDLINE (biomedical research), the Los Alamos e-Print Archive (physics), and NCSTRL (computer science). I show that these collaboration networks form "small worlds," in which randomly chosen pairs of scientists are typically separated by only a short path of intermediate acquaintances. I further give results for mean and distribution of numbers of collaborators of authors, demonstrate the presence of clustering in the networks, and highlight a number of apparent differences in the patterns of collaboration between the fields studied.

Davis : rdavis at hfhs.org Marcus Mullner : marcus.muellner at univie.ac.at TITLE Editorial independence at medical journals owned by professional associations: A survey of editors AUTHOR Davis RM, Mullner M JOURNAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING ETHICS 8 (4): 513-528 OCT 2002 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 44 Times Cited: 1 Explanation Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the degree of editorial independence at a sample of medical journals and the relationship between the journals and their owners. We surveyed the editors of 33 medical journals owned by not-for-profit organizations ("associations"), including 10 journals represented on the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (nine of which are general medical journals) and a random sample of 23 specialist journals with high impact factors that are indexed by the Institute for Scientific Information. The main outcome measures were the authority to hire, fire, and oversee the work of the editor; the editor's tenure and financial compensation; control of the journal's budget; publication of material about the association; and the editor's perceptions about editorial independence and pressure over editorial content. Of the 33 editors, 23 (70%) reported having complete editorialfreedom, and the remainder reported a high level of freedom (a score of greater than or equal to 8, where 10 equals complete editorial freedom and 1 equals no editorial freedom). Nevertheless, a substantial minority of editors reported having received at least some pressure in recent years over editorial content from the association's leadership (42%), senior staff (30%), or rank-and-file members (39010). The association's board of directors has the authority to hire (48%) or fire (55%) the editor for about half of the journals, and the editor reports to the board for 10 journals (30%). Twenty-three editors (70%) are appointed for a specific term (median term = 5 years). Three-fifths of the journals have no control over their profit, and the majority of journals use the association's legal counsel and/or media relations staff. Stronger safeguards are needed to give editors protection against pressure over editorial content, including written guarantees of editorial freedom and governance structures that support those guarantees. Strong safeguards are also needed because editors may have less freedom than they believe (especially if they have not yet tested their freedom in an area of controversy). COMMENT : This paper illustrates a very common use of JCR's category listing. Two journals from each category were selected as indicated in the quoted paragraph below. "We derived a sample of specialist journals as follows. First we obtained a list of the categories of scientific journals used by the Institute for Scientific Information (www.isinet.com) in its Journal Citation Reports. We identified 37 of these categories as being most relevant to medicine and health. We excluded the category "Medicine, General and Internal" because it overlapped with the journals represented on the ICMJE, and we then randomly selected 12 of the remaining 36 categories. Within each of these 12 categories, we selected two journals for inclusion in the sample; the North American journal and the non-North American journal with the highest "impact factor" a measure used to rank journals according to the number of citations to the articles they publish.

Davis : pmd8 at cornell.edu TITLE Where to spend our E-journal money: Defining a university library's core collection through citation analysis AUTHOR Davis P JOURNAL PORTAL-LIBRARIES AND THE ACADEMY 2 (1): 155-166 JAN 2002 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 33 Times Cited: 2 Explanation Abstract: This paper identifies core journals in the life sciences for Cornell University researchers by analyzing the frequency of Cornell-authored citations in Biosis Previews between 1996 and 2001. The distribution frequency of journals confirms Bradford's Law of Scatter or the 80/20 Rule. The top 240 journals, providing 80 percent of the citations, were analyzed by publisher type and institutional subscription price. In general, journals from society and associations received the highest number of citations and were priced considerably lower than commercial journals. The methodology described is a fast, low-cost, and scalable procedure that can be adapted to various subject databases, and may be used to provide guidance on which titles to purchase for electronic access.

Central to this debate is the notion that disciplines differ in the ways in which,they exchange ideas and disseminate information and therefore have diverse publishing and citation patterns. In this article we use two different approaches to compiling bibliometric data to compare publishing patterns of five different disciplines that encompass Molecular Biology; Administration/Political Science, Psychology,. Philosophy and Sociology/Anthropology. We find that the social sciences differ from each other as well as from the physical sciences in their publication and citation patterns. Further, while the different ways of organizing the data produce somewhat different results, the substantive findings for the general patterning of publications and citations of disciplines are consistent for both data sets. Sociology/Anthropology, when compared with the other disciplines, shows substantial differences across universities.

Enssle : henssle at manta.colostate.edu TITLE So you have to cancel journals? Statistics that help AUTHOR Enssle HR, Wilde ML JOURNAL LIBRARY COLLECTIONS ACQUISITIONS & TECHNICAL SERVICES 26 (3): 259-281 FAL 2002 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 37 Times Cited: 0 Explanation Abstract: Few libraries have been immune to the impact of inflation on journal prices, and many have been involved in extensive journal cancellation projects. To aid in the cancellation decision process, Colorado State University Libraries have been compiling internal statistics on journal usage and merging them with statistics from commercial sources. This paper describes the process and outlines how the collected data can be used both to identify journals for cancellation and to provide justification for these decisions to the campus community. As the inflation rate of journals has outstripped many library budgets, cancellation projects have become a routine part of library collection management for universities. These projects are extremely difficult since decisions have serious implications for the collection and library relations with the academic departments. Deciding which journals should be canceled becomes a serious and frustrating task. Statistical information about a library collection can be a valuable tool in both identifying journals for cancellation and justifying cancellation decisions. The Colorado State University Libraries (CSUL) have been collecting a variety of statistics about the periodicals collection for several years. This article will discuss how these statistics were used in a recent cancellation project. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Articles published from 1991-2000 in highly reputed journals on infectious disease were accessed through the MEDLINE database. The number of articles having an affiliation with a Japanese institution was counted in total and for the respective journals. The proportions of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), case-control/cohort studies, and case reports among the articles affiliated with Japan were also calculated, and were compared with the overall proportions of these types of articles for all articles published in these journals. Japan's contribution to research on infectious disease was 3.4% of the total articles and ranked sixth among all countries. The recent trend in contribution was negative, although not statistically significant (P = 0.19). RCTs in total articles published in these journals were 3.9%, which proportion has been increasing significantly over time. On the other hand, only one RCT (0.2%) was reported from Japan in the last decade. In addition, the proportion of case-control/cohort studies (2.2%) was smaller for articles from Japan than those from other countries. Compared with those of other developed countries, Japan's contribution to research on infectious disease has been unsatisfactory in the last decade. An explanation for this phenomenon should be determined. and remedial measures should be taken forthwith.

(http://www.trea.es) El estudio del World Wide Web (www) se est? convirtiendo en uno de los campos de investigaci?n m?s interesantes y, como dice Kleinberg, ?pocos eventos de la historia de la computaci?n han tenido tanta influencia en la sociedad como la llegada y crecimiento del Worid Wide Web?. Precisamente este crecimiento exponencial y esta influencia (basada en los contenidos) han creado un sistema de comunicaci?n de informaci?n muy potente, pero que al mismo tiempo tiene enormes carencias desde el punto de vista documental y, por ello, es necesario abordar su estudio. Para algunos autores este estudio debe realizarse con las t?cnicas bibliom?tricas cl?sicas y de an?lisis de citas; sin embargo, es necesario realizar otros estudios y abrir nuevas v?as de investigaci?n que nos permitan caracterizar adecuadamente el Web, porque no hay que olvidar que el tipo de informaci?n con el que estamos trabajando, por ejemplo, tiene unos niveles de permanencia concretos que nos obliga a ajustar nuestras t?cnicas de estudio. La cibermetr?a puede ayudarnos a mejorar la recuperaci?n de informaci?n en el Web, pues parece claro que los sistemas tradicionales de recuperaci?n de informaci?n no ofrecen buenos resultados con la informaci?n del Web. La riqueza sem?ntica de los enlaces, en la estructura hipertexto que es el Web, debe ser estudiada y tenida en cuenta. -- *************************************** Isidro F.
