The aim of this international conference is to bring together the various initiatives and key players within the open access movement. The intention is to keep the momentum and to strengthen the enthusiasm of all involved in this field. Key notes, lectures and short presentations will cover a wide rage of subjects, among other topics like "open access for cultural heritage", "open access to scientific (raw) data", "legal issues of open access", "authors' attitudes towards open access". There will be room for discussions, too. The initiators of this conference are committed to give specific attention to the issue of "open access and developing countries". Further information will be provided on the conference website: http://www.zim.mpg.de/openaccess-golm/index.html Would open access supporters please note the date of this meeting in their diaries.

Message-ID: Dear all, I would like to mention the article Benavent, R.A., Zurian J.C.V., Gomez M.C., Melendez, R.S., Molina, C.N. (2004), Impact factor of the Spanish medical journals, Medicina Clinica (Barcelona), 123 (18), 697-701. An article published in NEUROLOGIA 19 (6), 283-284 (2004) by the same authors dealing with the same subject has been pointed at by Gene Garfield on 22 Nov. 2004. >From the abstract (the article is, unfortunately (for me), written in Spanish), I noted that the cites given from the Spanish non-ISI journals to those (few) Spanish journals listed in the Journal Citation Reports were added to the cites given by all JCR journals to the Spanish journals in question. Thus, the impact factors increase, naturally, partly considerably (MEDICINA CLINICA: from 0.837 to 1.125), partly negligible (International Journal of Developmental Biology: from 1.650 to 1.654, Histology and Histopathology: from 1.859 to 1.866) (data from JCR 2001 and the abstract of the Med.Clin. article). One should consider, however, that the impact factors of all JCR journals cited in non-JCR journals would increase if the cites are added. So, prior to any comparison of a journal's impact factor raised by the way described with the impact factors of other journals one should carefully look whether the latter ones also received additional cites. I don't know whether the authors did such comparisons (I do not have access to the full text and my few spanish words would not be sufficient to read the text). An impact factor calculation for a journal not listed in the JCR simply by the data of the JCR calculates, of course, only a lower limit IF. BTW, in the Web-of-Science abstract of the Med.Clin. article a severe omission can be observed: the final sentence reads, according to WoS: "A low impact factor of quality, merit or relevance.", and according to PubMed: "A low impact factor is not necessarily related to lack of quality, merit or relevance." ;) Kind regards, Johannes Stegmann ------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Johannes Stegmann Charit? - University Medicine Berlin Joint Facility of Free University and Humboldt-University Campus Benjamin Franklin, Medical Library 12203 Berlin, Germany johannes.stegmann at charite.de Tel.: +49 30 8445 2035 Fax: +49 30 8445 4454 Personal homepage: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~johasteg/ From isidro at CINDOC.CSIC.ES Wed Feb 2 03:59:11 2005 From: isidro at CINDOC.CSIC.ES (Isidro F. Aguillo) Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2005 09:59:11 +0100 Subject: New book about webometric methods Message-ID: Link Analysis: An Information Science Approach by Mike Thelwall The web is central to many human activities and infringes on many others: at home, and at work, including education and research. Links between web sites can be used in information science and social science research as a valuable source of evidence about online phenomena, and about online components of offline phenomena. Given a set of websites, the links between them many reveal interesting patterns of connectedness that could reflect issues of underlying human communication or information value. Link analysis is therefore a valuable tool for information science and social science researchers investigating the web, or other phenomena with an offline component. This book provides methods, guidelines and examples to guide researchers and students through a research project, in addition to reviewing a considerable body of previous work. 250 pages, Academic Press (December 29, 2004).

(2005). Is academic writing masculine? Higher Education Review, 37, 2, 53-62. Abstract: With human judges, previous studies of the sex of the authors of academic papers have failed to find many differences between the writings of men and women, although some differences have been found with students. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a new computer-based method for assessing the sex of authorship of academic texts and other text genres. It appeared that 90% of the academic materials, irrespective of the sex of their authors, were deemed by the computer program to have been written by men, 55% of extracts from novels were deemed correctly to have been written by men or women, and 90% of female fiction was deemed correctly to have been written by women.

Explanations and examples of this model are given showing that it is the most important regularity amongst other possible models. This theory is then developed in the framework of IPPs (Information Production Processes) hereby also indicating its relation with e.g. the law of Zipf. Applications are given in the following fields: three-dimensional informetrics (positive reinforcement and Type/Token-Taken informetrics), concentration theory (including the description of Lorenz curves and concentration measures in Lotkaian informetrics), fractal complexity theory (Lotkaian informetrics as self-similar fractals), Lotkaian informetrics in which items can have multiple sources (where fractional size-frequency functions are constructed), the theory of first-citation distributions and the N-fold Cartesian product of IPPs (describing frequency functions for N-grams and N-word phrases). In the Appendix, methods are given to determine the parameters in the law of Lotka, based on a set of discrete data. The book explains numerous informetric regularities, only based on a decreasing power law as size-frequency function, i.e. Lotka's law. It revives the historical formulation of Alfred Lotka of 1926 and shows the power of this power law, both in classical aspects of informetrics (libraries, bibliographies) as well as in "new" applications such as social networks (citation or collaboration networks and the Internet).

G. (2005) Physical Rev E., 71, 026108. Abstract: This paper presents a model for author-paper networks, which is based on the assumption that authors are organized into groups and that, for each research topic, the number of papers published by a group is based on a success-breeds-success model. Collaboration between groups is modeled as random invitations from a group to an outside member. To analyze the model, a number of different metrics that can be obtained in author-paper networks were extracted. A simulation example shows that this model can effectively mimic the behavior of a real-world author-paper network, extracted from a collection of 900 journal papers in the field of complex networks. ?2005 The American Physical Society URL: http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRE/v71/e026108 From ruben at UCR.EDU Fri Feb 11 14:49:11 2005 From: ruben at UCR.EDU (Ruben Urbizagastegui) Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2005 11:49:11 -0800 Subject: Help Message-ID: Hello all, Please, may be some of you have an English summary of this paper.

Here we present a hierarchical agglomeration algorithm for detecting community structure which is faster than many competing algorithms: its running time on a network with n vertices and m edges is O(md log n) where d is the depth of the dendrogram describing the community structure. Many real-world networks are sparse and hierarchical, with msimilar ton and dsimilar tolog n, in which case our algorithm runs in essentially linear time, O(n log(2) n). As an example of the application of this algorithm we use it to analyze a network of items for sale on the web site of a large on-line retailer, items in the network being linked if they are frequently purchased by the same buyer.

Bulletin of the American Astronomical Society. http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2004astro.ph.11275S ABSTRACT: We have used data from ADS, AAS, and astro-ph, to study the publishing, preprint posting, and citation patterns for papers published in the ApJ in 1999 and 2002. This allowed us to track statistical trends in author demographics, preprint posting habits, and citation rates for ApJ papers as a whole and across various subgroups and types of ApJ papers. The most interesting results are the frequencies of use of the astro-ph server across various subdisciplines of astronomy, and the impact that such posting has on the citation history of the subsequent ApJ papers. By 2002 72% of ApJ papers were posted as astro-ph preprints, but this fraction varies from 22-95% among the subfields studied. A majority of these preprints (61%) were posted after the papers were accepted at ApJ, and 88% were posted or updated after acceptance. On average, ApJ papers posted on astro-ph are cited more than twice as often as those that are not posted on astro-ph. This difference can account for a number of other, secondary citation trends, including some of the differences in citation rates between journals and different subdisciplines. Preprints clearly have supplanted the journals as the primary means for initially becoming aware of papers, at least for a large fraction of the ApJ author community. Publication in a widely-recognized peer-reviewed journal remains as the primary determinant of the impact of a paper, however. For example, conference proceedings papers posted on astro-ph are also cited twice as frequently as those that are not posted, but overall such papers are still cited 20 times less often than the average ApJ paper. These results provide insights into how astronomical research is currently disseminated by authors and ingested by readers.

Considerable differences are observed and some media specific features are identified. Results from this study demonstrate the importance and the feasibility of the use of multiple data sources in citation analysis studies of scholarly communication, and evidence for a developing "two-tier" scholarly communication system.

In scientific research, certain intersections of people, ideas, and techniques lead to advancements, and information plays an important role in this process. This paper reports on case studies that investigate how information fuels progress at three multidisciplinary neuroscience laboratories. The results presented here profile the research environments and information practices of active neuroscientists, and a working information-seeking typology is introduced. New means of quantifying and visualizing data played a role in most of the breakthroughs reported by researchers, and interpreting new experimental findings in relation to previous research is a standard problem. Participants ranked information for solving instrumentation and technique problems as highly important, and a literature mining technique for searching PubMed (Arrowsmith) proved to be of value in their daily work. The mobility of information, a topic of much interest in scientific informatics, was a central theme in the case studies, but "boundary work" and the "newness" of information were also important factors in the discovery process.

There is significant correlation between citations in these two formats. Journals with higher numbers of Web citations tend to have more citations indicating intellectual impact (citations from papers or class readings, in contrast to citations from bibliographic services or the author's or journal's home page). Web citations show a broader geographic coverage and capture a greater number and variety of uses of journal articles.

The main objective is to obtain a more complete understanding of how and to what extent the external factors affect journal citation impact. Four external factors have been identified from previous studies: journal properties, journal accessibility, journal internationality and perceived journal quality. A conceptual model of journal citation impact is developed and a web-based survey is conducted for obtaining information on the perceived journal quality. Structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS) is used to test the conceptual models with empirical data from 41 research journals in clinical neurology. Interrelationships among journal citation impact and the four external factors have been successfully explored. The results also suggest that, for an integrated conceptual model of journal citation impact, various citation indicators should be used.

Using readily available software, simple methods, and a little creativity, librarians call extract and manipulate information from database search results and from digitized journals for analysis of publication and citation behavior. The current study describes methods and results from a bibliometric and citation analysis of the electronic Version of the Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science. This study illustrates the opportunities as well as the challenges for bibilometrics and citation analysis in the electronic environment. As more journals migrate to the digital environment, issues of access, copyright and fair use, online file formats, and idiosyncrasies in the digital files may limit the opportunities for bibliometric analysis.

Merton's work in the sociology of science. The author got to know Merton very well as he served as his student, assistant, and colleague for 15 years from 1960. Merton's works which are most discussed are his doctoral dissertation on Puritanism and science, his paper on scientific norms, and his paper 'The Matthew Effect'. He is criticized for not generalizing far enough from his work on the Puritan thesis and for not paying close enough attention to the empirical data, which cast doubt on the validity of his theory of the Matthew Effect.

DEC 21 2004. p.17599-17604 NATL ACAD SCIENCES, WASHINGTON ABSTRACT: Acknowledgments in research publications, like citations, indicate influential contributions to scientific work. However, acknowledgments are different from citations; whereas citations are formal expressions of debt, acknowledgments are arguably more personal, singular, or private expressions of appreciation and contribution. Furthermore, many sources of research funding expect researchers to acknowledge any support that contributed to the published work. Just as citation indexing proved to be an important tool for evaluating research contributions, we argue that acknowledgments can be considered as a metric parallel to citations in the academic audit process. We have developed automated methods for acknowledgment extraction and analysis and show that combining acknowledgment analysis with citation indexingyields a measurable impact of the efficacy of various individuals as well as government, corporate, and university sponsors of scientific work.

We explore various aspects of this new measure. We examine the obsolescence function as measured by actual reads and show that it can be well fit by the sum of four exponentials with very different time constants. We compare the obsolescence function as measured by readership with the obsolescence function as measured by citations. We find that the citation function is proportional to the sum of two of the components of the readership function. This proves that the normative theory of citation is true in the mean. We further examine in detail the similarities and differences among the citation rate, the readership rate, and the total citations for individual articles, and discuss some of the causes. Using the number of reads as a bibliometric measure for individuals, we introduce the read-cite diagram to provide a two-dimensional view of an individual's scientific productivity. We develop a simple model to account for an individual's reads and cites and use it to show that the position of a person in the read-cite diagram is a function of age, innate productivity, and work history. We show the age biases of both reads and cites and develop two new bibliometric measures which have substantially less age bias than citations: SumProd, a weighted sum of total citations and the readership rate, intended to show the total productivity of an individual; and Read10, the readership rate for articles published in the last 10 years, intended to show an individual's current productivity. We also discuss the effect of normalization (dividing by the number of authors on a paper) on these statistics. We apply SumProd and Read10 using new, nonparametric techniques to compare the quality of different astronomical research organizations.

JAN 15 2005. p.140-158 ABSTRACT: We present a model for estimating the probability that a pair of author names (sharing last name and first initial), appearing on two different Medline articles, refer to the same individual. The model uses a simple yet powerful similarity profile between a pair of articles, based on title, journal name, coauthor names, medical subject headings (MeSH), language, affiliation, and name attributes (prevalence in the literature, middle initial, and suffix). The similarity profile distribution is computed from reference sets consisting of pairs of articles containing almost exclusively author matches versus nonmatches, generated in an unbiased manner. Although the match set is generated automatically and might contain a small proportion of nonmatches, the model is quite robust against contamination with nonmatches. We have created a free, public service ("Author-ity": http://arrowsmith.psych.uic.edu) that takes as input an author's name given on a specific article, and gives as output a list of all articles with that (last name, first initial) ranked by decreasing similarity, with match probability indicated.

JAN 15 2005. p.189-214 Message-ID: E-mail Addresses: notsjb at lsu.edu TITLE: Urquhart and probability: The transition from librarianship to library and information science (Article, English) AUTHOR: Bensman, SJ SOURCE: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 56 (2). JAN 15 2005. p.189-214 JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, HOBOKEN ABSTRACT: In this article, I analyze the role of Donald J. Urquhart in the creation of modern library and information science. Urquhart was one of the chief architects of information science in Britain and founder of the National Lending Library for Science and Technology (NLL), which evolved into the present-day British Library Document Supply Centre (BLDSC). In particular, I focus on the part played by Urquhart in the development of that branch of information science termed bibliometrics, the application of mathematical and statistical techniques to information phenomena, pursuing both historical and practical aims. The article is intended not only to trace the history of the probability distributions applicable to library use and other facets of human knowledge but also to demonstrate how these distributions can be used in the evaluation and management of scientific journal collections. For these purposes, the paper is divided into three parts of equal importance. The first part is statistical and establishes the theoretical framework, within which Urquhart's work is considered. It traces the historical development of the applicable probability distributions, discussing their origins on the European continent and how Continental principles became incorporated in the biometric statistics that arose in Britain as a result of the Darwinian revolution. This part analyzes the binomial and Poisson processes, laying out the reasons why the Poisson process is more suitable for modeling information phenomena. In doing so, it describes key distributions arising from these processes as well as the various tests for these distributions, citing the literature that shows how to conduct these tests. Throughout the discussion, the relationship of these distributions to library use and the laws of information science is- emphasized. The second part of the article analyzes the pioneering role of Urquhart as a conduit for the entry of these probability distributions into librarianship, converting it into library and information science. He was the first librarian to apply probability to library use, utilizing it not only to establish and manage the scientific journal collections of the NLL but also to evolve his Law of Supralibrary Use. Urquhart's work is portrayed within the context of a general trend to adopt probabilistic methods for analytical purposes, and a major premise of this article is that his law and the probabilistic breakthrough, on which it was based, were most likely in Britain. which was one of the few countries not only to develop but also maintain the necessary scientific preconditions. The third-and concluding section-discusses how Urquhart's Law forces a probabilistic reconceptualization of the functioning of the scientific journal system as well as the law's practical implications for journal sales, collection evaluation and management, resource sharing, and the transition from the paper to the electronic format.

JAN 1 2005. p.3-12 JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, HOBOKEN ABSTRACT: In the study of growth dynamics of artificial and natural systems, the scaling properties of fluctuations can exhibit information on the underlying processes responsible for the observed macroscopic behavior according to H.E. Stanley and colleagues (Lee, Amaral, Canning, Meyer, Stanley, 1998; Plerou, Amaral, Gopikrishnan, Meyer, Stanley, 1999; Stanley et al., 1996). With such an approach, they examined the growth dynamics of firms, of national economies, and of university research fundings and paper output. We investigated the scaling properties of journal output and impact according to the Journal Citation Reports (JCR; ISI, Philadelphia, PA) and find distributions of paper output and of citations near to lognormality. Growth rate distributions are near to Laplace "tents," however with a better fit to Subbotin distributions. The width of fluctuations decays with size according to a power law. The form of growth rate distributions seems not to depend on journal size, and conditional probability densities of the growth rates can thus be scaled onto one graph. To some extent even quantitatively, all our results are in agreement with the observations of Stanley and others. Further on, a Matthew effect of journal citations is confirmed. If journals "behave" like business firms, a better understanding of Bradford's Law as a result of competition among publishing houses, journals, and topics suggests itself.

JAN 1 2005. p.58-62 JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, HOBOKEN ABSTRACT: In this paper we address the various formulations of impact of articles, usually groups of articles as gauged by citations that these articles receive over a certain period of time. The journal impact factor, as published by ISI (Philadelphia, PA), is the best-known example of a formulation of impact of journals (considered as a set of articles) but many others have been defined in the literature. Impact factors have varying publication and citation periods and the chosen length of these periods enables, e.g., a distinction between synchronous and diachronous impact factors. It is shown how an impact factor for the general case can be defined. Two alternatives for a general impact factor are proposed, depending on whether different publication years are seen as a whole, and hence treating each one of them differently, or by operating with citation periods of identical length but allowing each publication period different starting points.

JAN 1 2005. p.84-94 JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, HOBOKEN ABSTRACT: In this paper we investigate the scattering of journals and literature obsolescence reflected in more than 137,000 document delivery requests submitted to a national document delivery service. We first summarize the major findings of the study with regards to the performance of the service. We then identify the "core" journals from which article requests were satisfied and address the following research questions: (a) Does the distribution of (core) journals conform to the Bradford's Law of Scattering? (b) Is there a relationship between usage of journals and impact factors, journals with high impact factors being used more often than the rest? (c) Is there a relationship between usage of journals and total citation counts, journals with high total citation counts being used more often than the rest? (d) What is the median age of use (half-life) of requested articles in general? (e) Do requested articles that appear in core journals get obsolete more slowly? (f) Is there a relationship between obsolescence and journal impact factors, journals with high impact factors being obsolete more slowly? (g) Is there a relationship between obsolescence and total citation counts, journals with high total citation counts being obsolete more slowly? Based on the analysis of findings, we found that the distribution of highly and moderately used journal titles conform to Bradford's Law. The median age of use was 8 years for all requested articles. Ninety percent of the articles requested were 21 years of age or younger. Articles that appeared in 168 core journal titles seem to get obsolete slightly more slowly than those of all titles. We observed no statistically significant correlations between the frequency of journal use and ISI journal impact factors, and between the frequency of journal use and ISI- (institute for Scientific Information, Philadelphia, PA) cited half-lives for the most heavily used 168 core journal titles. There was a weak correlation between usage of journals and ISI-reported total citation counts. No statistically significant relationship was found between median age of use and journal impact factors and between median age of use and total citation counts. There was a weak negative correlation between ISI journal impact factors and cited half-lives of 168 core journals, and a weak correlation between ISI citation half-lives and use half-lives of core journals.

WIN 2004. p.133-149 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOC, TAMPA ABSTRACT: This study ranks 15 leading finance journals by the average number of Social Sciences Citation Index cites per articles for articles published in 1996. It also defines a "top article," compared to an "article in a top journal.'' Using diffierent criteria for top articles, I examine the Type I error (a top " article is rejected by a particular decision rule, e.g., in top three journals) and the Type R error (a "non-top " article is accepted as a top article) for each journal and combinations of the journals. Due to the high error rates, the results suggest that identifying top articles requires looking beyond the Top 3 journals, as well as examining each article more carefully for its intrinsic quality.

For those of you interested, Julie Hurd is publishing in her journal Science and Technical Libraries a three-part article, in which I explain with simple math and graphic techniques the probability distributions underlying library use. I have designed it, so that practitioner librarians and library school students can learn to utlize probability distributions to manage sci/tech journal collections and databases, using Urquhart's ideas as a starting model. Like this article, Maurice B. Line has vetted it. Those of you interested can contact me for prepubs of this article--Julie permitting. A number library school professors said such an article was needed. I must warn you, though--it ain't the high-falutin', rootin'-tootin', $25 math most of you people are interested in. Steve B.

JAN 15 2005. p.189-214 JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, HOBOKEN ABSTRACT: In this article, I analyze the role of Donald J. Urquhart in the creation of modern library and information science. Urquhart was one of the chief architects of information science in Britain and founder of the National Lending Library for Science and Technology (NLL), which evolved into the present-day British Library Document Supply Centre (BLDSC). In particular, I focus on the part played by Urquhart in the development of that branch of information science termed bibliometrics, the application of mathematical and statistical techniques to information phenomena, pursuing both historical and practical aims. The article is intended not only to trace the history of the probability distributions applicable to library use and other facets of human knowledge but also to demonstrate how these distributions can be used in the evaluation and management of scientific journal collections. For these purposes, the paper is divided into three parts of equal importance. The first part is statistical and establishes the theoretical framework, within which Urquhart's work is considered. It traces the historical development of the applicable probability distributions, discussing their origins on the European continent and how Continental principles became incorporated in the biometric statistics that arose in Britain as a result of the Darwinian revolution. This part analyzes the binomial and Poisson processes, laying out the reasons why the Poisson process is more suitable for modeling information phenomena. In doing so, it describes key distributions arising from these processes as well as the various tests for these distributions, citing the literature that shows how to conduct these tests. Throughout the discussion, the relationship of these distributions to library use and the laws of information science is- emphasized. The second part of the article analyzes the pioneering role of Urquhart as a conduit for the entry of these probability distributions into librarianship, converting it into library and information science. He was the first librarian to apply probability to library use, utilizing it not only to establish and manage the scientific journal collections of the NLL but also to evolve his Law of Supralibrary Use. Urquhart's work is portrayed within the context of a general trend to adopt probabilistic methods for analytical purposes, and a major premise of this article is that his law and the probabilistic breakthrough, on which it was based, were most likely in Britain. which was one of the few countries not only to develop but also maintain the necessary scientific preconditions. The third-and concluding section-discusses how Urquhart's Law forces a probabilistic reconceptualization of the functioning of the scientific journal system as well as the law's practical implications for journal sales, collection evaluation and management, resource sharing, and the transition from the paper to the electronic format.

We consider important to make a descriptive and critical analysis of the development of knowledge generated and disseminated with the purpose of having it as a base for planning future activities after twenty-five years of scientific activity in epidemiological and psychosocial research. Bibliometric analysis is a tool developed to perform quantitative studies of printed matter; it seeks to show numbers related to research activities through description of printed publications in a particular field. On this paper, we are trying to give a panoramic view of the different topics, the specific population groups studied, the methods used, as well as the different pathways and tendencies in these twenty-five years. This allows for the identification of particular fields that have been underestimated and which can be considered as starting point for the development of future research. The analysis of each document has been defined in three basic aspects: content, authors, and dissemination media used. This strategy made it possible for us to know the amount of the production and its quantitative and qualitative characteristics in terms of type of publication, the country where it was published, the assignment and nationality Of the authors, the number of authors by article, the type of research and its subject matter, the population studied, and the amount of publications per year. All the material used in this study belongs to a bibliographic database (BIBLISMAD), which is permanently updated and which gathers more than 5000 references of research reports published in Mexico or by Mexican researchers, among them all those who are or were part of the DIEP. All the references corresponding to documents that had been published were considered, including articles in journals, book chapters, complete books, manuals and reasearch instruments. References corresponding to unpublished works, summaries in memories and communications presented in congresses were excluded. The selection of the material was carried out considering the fact that at least one of the authors was assigned to the DIET when the paper was published or during the period when the research was performed. The bibliographic material was analyzed considering different aspects of each one in the manner of variables. This way we registered the type of publication (full book, manual, article in journal, book chapter, instrument, and report), the type of article (empiric research, review, and essay), the country of the journal or book, the number of authors by paper, articles where the main author was part of the DIEP, assignment of the authors (researcher form the DIEP, external national researcher, and external foreign researcher), the type of empirical research performed (quantitative or qualitative), the field of research (mental health or addictions), and the population under study (children, adolescents, adults, and elderly people). Apart from mere quantification and the kind of papers published, we considered a qualitative analysis as a very important aspect. In this case, we worked with the contents of each manuscript to identify general areas, particular topics, methods applied, populations researched, and the media chosen to publish. With this, we attempted to obtain indicators of the relative weight of each item. For this study, we analyzed an overall of 1457 works published between 1978 and 2003. Results are presented according to the type of publication, the authorship, and the main topic. The analysis allowed building a map of the research performed by the DIEP in the last twenty-five years. We found that most of the material corresponded to articles in scientific journals, most of them Mexican, almost a third American, and a fifth European. Regarding language, more than a half of the articles are in Spanish, nearly 40% are in English and small percentages are in French and Portuguese. As for the specialty of the publications, most of them were published in psychology, psychiatry, mental health, and addiction journals. Nevertheless, due to the characteristics of psychosocial research, 24% of the papers were published in different medic magazines (general practice, public health, epidemiology, pediatrics, geriatrics, AIDS treatment, biomedical sciences, gynecology, cancerology, neurology, nutrition, perinatology, sexuality and reproductive health), 17% in social sciences and humanities journals (culture, education, adolescence, anthropology, social work, family), and 3% in science and technology magazines. Tendencies in productivity were satisfactory, with variations related to the nature of research, which is devoted to data collection and analysis in some periods and in others to the publication of results. Broadly speaking, there was an increase in productivity. This increase was more obvious between 1984 and 1994, which may be explained by an institutional growth in terms of financial and human resources. This growth tended to stabitize in the last decade, in spite of which productivity has not stopped growing. When we analyzed data related to authorship, there was a marked leadership on the side of the DIEP researchers: 90% of the articles published had a researcher from the DIEP as the main author. In the other hand, there were 286 co-authors from Mexico and 204 from other countries, which is a sign of the great interest to work with different groups from institutions all over the country and overseas. Although the production average level seems to be low, this is explained by the fact that many authors have collaborated temporally as post-graduate students, students writing their dissertation, and students in social service. One indicator of the important role of the DIEP as a generator of original knowledge in mental health and addiction fields is the high percentage of papers reporting results of researches developed by this area of the institute. The frequency of quantitative methods is a reflex of the predominance of this perspective in science, and in health sciences particularly. However, the growing development that qualitative and mixed methods have had during this last decade is noteworthy. This implies an enrichment of the amount and out reach of the knowledge generated in our field of work. The diversity of topics allows for a thought about the great advance experienced by mental health in recent years, especially in epidemiologic and psicosocial regards. However, it must be said that there are still many challenges to face.

HUANG : zhuang at eller.arizona.edu Title : International nanotechnology development in 2003: Country, institution, and technology field analysis based on USPTO patent database Author(s): Huang Z, Chen HC, Chen ZK, Roco MC Source : JOURNAL OF NANOPARTICLE RESEARCH 6 (4): 325-354 AUG 2004 Abstract: Nanoscale science and engineering (NSE) have seen rapid growth and expansion in new areas in recent years. This paper provides an international patent analysis using the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) data searched by keywords of the entire text: title, abstract, claims, and specifications. A fraction of these patents fully satisfy the National Nanotechnology Initiative definition of nanotechnology (which requires exploiting specific phenomena and direct manipulation at the nanoscale), while others only make use of NSE tools and methods of investigation. In previous work we proposed an integrated patent analysis and visualization framework of patent content mapping for the NSE field and of knowledge flow pattern identification until 2002. In this paper, the results are updated for 2003, and the new trends are presented. The number of USPTO patents originated from all countries that include nanotechnology-related keywords in 2003 is about 8600, an increase of about 50% over the last 3 years, which is significantly larger than the increase of about 4% for patents in all technology fields (USPTO, 2004). The top five countries are U. S. (5228 patents in 2004), Japan (926), Germany (684), Canada (244) and France (183). Fastest growing are the Republic of Korea (84 patents in 2003) and Netherlands (81). For the first time in 2003, four electronic companies have reached the top five institutions: IBM (198 patents), Micron Technologies (129), Advanced Micro Devices (128), Intel (90) and University of California (89). However, overall, the single technology field "Chemistry: molecular biology and microbiology'' and chemical industry remain in the lead. The citation networks show an increase of international interactions, and a relative change of the role of various countries, institutions and technological fields in time.

The design of the survey instrument allows an interactive selection of journals to be scored. The web-based format is unique in that it also includes a step in which respondents classify the journals according to methodological perspective (paradigm). This is depicted graphically in the paper in a bubble diagram that shows the "positioning" of journals according to perceptions of both paradigm and quality. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

In this paper, we discuss the use of bibliometric techniques of research evaluation by the US federal government over the past decade. Within the past decade, commentators have pointed to something of a rebirth of interest in evaluation along with pressure on agencies to develop quantitative indicators. Evaluation of economic and societal outcomes of research has become a priority. Bibliometric method continues to evolve in response to these needs and therefore often finds application in evaluations of federal agency research.

The objective of this study was to analyze the proportion of clinically relevant articles in five high impact anesthesia journals. We evaluated all articles published in Anesthesiology, Anesthesia & Analgesia, British journal of Anesthesia, Anesthesia, and Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica from January to June, 2000. Articles were assessed and classified according to type, outcome, and design; 1379 articles consisting of 5468 pages were evaluated and categorized. The most common types of article were animal and laboratory research (31.2%) and randomized clinical trial (20.4%). A clinically relevant article was defined as an article that used a statistically valid method and had a clinically relevant end-point. Altogether 18.6% of the pages had as their subject matter clinically relevant trials. We compared the Journal Impact Factor (a measure of the number of citations per article in a journal) and the proportion of clinically relevant pages and found that they were inversely proportional to each other.

DEC 2004. p.671-673 MEDICINSKA NAKLADA, ZAGREB ABSTRACT: According to the Journal Citation Report from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), the last year's (2003) impact factor (IF) of the Croatian Medical Journal (CMJ) was 0.943. To determine the factors that contributed to this significant increase in the IF, we analyzed the structure of citations to CMJ in the ISI's publications, Science Citation Index (SCI), and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). Thematic issues generally acquired more citations than regular issues. Furthermore, citation number varied for different article types. The citations to the original scientific articles corresponded to the average number of citations for the current IF value, whereas reviews and especially case reports were cited less frequently, and negatively contributed to the IF of the journal. Only half of all articles published in two previous years were cited in 2003. The majority of these articles were cited once or twice, whereas only 4 5 articles received more than three citations. journal self-citations are still an important contributor to the CMJ's IF (39.6%). Their proportion may decrease in time, by further improving the visibility of the journal, and thus acquiring greater number of independent citations. In future, we can expect year-to-year variations in the journals IF. This trend may be positive on a long-term basis, but expectation of a value significantly higher than 1 is unrealistic. CMJ is small general medical journal whose quality-oriented editorial policy may in the long-term result in the increase in the IF.

The purpose of this paper is to review various document clustering techniques, and to discuss research issues for enhancing effectiveness or efficiency of the clustering methods. We explore extensive literature on non-hierarchical methods (single-pass methods), hierarchical methods (single-link, complete-link, etc.), dimensional reduction methods (LSI, principal component analysis, etc.), probabilistic methods, data mining techniques, and so on. In particular, this paper focuses on typical techniques, such as the k-means algorithm, the leader-follower algorithm, self-organizing map (SOM), single- or complete-link methods, bisecting k-means methods, latent semantic indexing (LSI), Gaussian-Mixture model and so on. After reviewing the techniques and algorithms, we discuss research issues on document clustering; computational complexity, feature extraction (selection of words), methods for defining term weights and similarity, and evaluation of results.

DEC 2004. p.563-569 EDICIONES DOYMA S/L, BARCELONA ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: Citation analysis elucidates patterns of information consumption within professional communities. The aim of this study was to analyze the citations of 87 Spanish medical journals by calculating their impact factors and immediacy indices for 2001, and to estimate the importance of ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGiA within the framework of Spanish medicine. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Eighty-seven Spanish medical journals were included. All were listed in the Spanish Medical Index (Indice Medico Espanol) and in at least one of the following databases: MEDLINE, BIOSIS, EMMASE, or Science Citation Index. References to articles from 1999 through 2001 in citable articles from 2001 were analyzed. Using the method of the Institute for Scientific Information,we calculated the national impact factor and immediacy index for each journal. RESULTS: The journals with the highest national impact factors were Revista Espanola de Quimioterapia (0.894), Medicina Clinica (0.89), and ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGiA (0.732). The self-citation percentage of ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGIA was 18.3% and the immediacy index was 0.033. CONCLUSIONS: The impact factor obtained by ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGiA confirms its importance in Spanish medicine and validates its inclusion as a source journal in Science Citation Index and Journal Citation Report.

DEC 2004. p.461-466 PERIODICUM BIOLOGORUM, ZAGREB ABSTRACT: Background and Purpose: The aim of this research was to provide an insight into the situation and the development of biology in Croatia since 1950 to 2000 by the analysis of doctoral theses as a specific source of information. One of the tasks of the research was to determine the accessibility of analyzed theses to the world's scientific community through their representation in the Dissertation Abstracts International. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 344 doctoral theses submitted at the Faculty of Science from 1950 (the submission of the first thesis) to 2000. The theses were assessed by the following bibliometric indicators: year of publication, number of pages, number of references, language in which they were written, presence of an abstract, field of research, and institutions where they were carried out. A better understanding of the demographic situation among Croatian biologists with a doctoral degree was obtained by the analysis of their gender; age, employment and participation in international collaboration. Results and Conclusions: The number of theses rose over tune, with 1990's accounting for a third of all the theses submitted. The mean number of pages and references per thesis was 154 and 156, respectively. Theses were written mainly in Croatian (95%); 21% did not contain an abstract. The study found that marine biology was the area of main research, with thesis work carried out primarily in universities and public institutes (73%). Over half of those who were awarded a doctorate were women (55%), and the average age was 38. The majority (64%) remained in universities and public institutes, with 8% ultimately leaving the country. The study also found that international collaboration has increased since the 1990's. The search of Dissertation Abstracts International showed that theses are not represented in it and thus cannot be considered accessible to the scientific community.

Research funding plays major role in the creation of relevant research centers in these countries and in financing research projects and research affiliates. Most publications are coauthored and focus on women, and a large proportion of HIV/AIDS documents are published outside Africa. The study recommends further research on the rest of Africa, on research collaboration, and on comparison of various population categories. The refinement of piloted research methodology and funding will be crucial for further research. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

JAN 2005. p.55-83 AMER ACCOUNTING ASSOC, SARASOTA ABSTRACT: Editors exhort authors to circulate and present their working papers to colleagues before submitting them to journals (Zimmerman 1989; Green et al. 2002). Authors heeding such advice are said to increase the likelihood of getting their work published and making their research, once published, more influential (Zimmerman 1989). While evidence regarding these matters is of keen importance to authors, editors, and administrators, no research exists showing that circulating and presenting manuscripts increases their probability of being accepted in accounting journals or, when published, their influence on stimulating other research. I present such evidence by perusing acknowledgments in premier accounting journals. I examine the relation between circulating and presenting manuscripts and the probability of acceptance by relating acknowledgments of 305 papers submitted to The Accounting Review during June 2002-May 2003 to the editor's reject versus revise and resubmit decision. I examine the relation between circulating and presenting manuscripts and an article's influence by relating the acknowledgments in 256 articles published in The Accounting Review, Journal of Accounting Research, and Journal of Accounting and Economics to citations to these articles. My two analyses of acknowledgments to institutions, conferences, and individuals yield similar results. I find that papers presented at more workshops are more likely to be invited back to The Accounting Review, and that papers published in The Accounting Review, Journal of Accounting and Economics, or Journal of Accounting Research generate more citations if they were presented previously at more workshops.

FEB 2005. p.295-302 MOSBY, INC, ST LOUIS ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the distribution and scope of papers published in the world in otolaryngology (ORL) journals and to compare the impact of this research among different countries. METHODS: Papers published in the 29 ORL journals screened by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI, Philadelphia, PA, USA) in the 6-year period 1995-2000 were considered. The journal impact factor (IF), the source country population, and gross domestic product (GDP) were recorded. All key words, both those assigned by the authors and those attributed by ISI, were identified and their frequency was calculated using a special-purpose program. RESULTS: The total number of papers in the ORL literature during the period 1995-2000 increased from 2036 to 3705. A percentage varying between 47.7% (1995) and 36.1% (2000) was published by EU authors whereas the USA accounted for a percentage varying between 28.1% (1995) and 38.8% (2000). In 2000, the leading countries were the USA, the EU, Japan, Canada, and Australia. In Europe the UK (28.5% of papers), Germany (26.2%), Italy (7.2%), Sweden (5.8 %), France (5.5%), and the Netherlands (4.9%) showed a very good performance trend. In the same year, the mean IF of EU papers was 0.8 in comparison with 1.1 for Australia and the USA and 0.9 for the world. In 1997, 1341 key words attributed by the authors and 696 attributed by ISI appeared in the ORL literature. Less than a tenth of them were cited more than twice. The leading key words were "cancer" for disease and "surgery" for treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Bibilometric findings are useful to follow research trends. Our data show high scientific production of relatively small countries. Dispersion of key words should be avoided and journal editors should promote their standardization.

FEB 2005. p.78-83 EDICIONES DOYMA S/L, BARCELONA ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To analyze key word usage in ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGIA, by comparing words used in the journal to those used in the Index Medicus database within various respiratory system knowledge areas, and to determine whether usage has changed over time. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Original articles published in ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGIA from 1994 through 2001 were reviewed manually to gather the key words used. The list was translated to English and then compared to the medical subject heading (MeSH) terms used in the PubMed Browser. RESULTS: Seven hundred six original articles published in the study period used a total of 1163 key words. Matches with MeSH terms were found for 62% (n=46) of the key words in smoking research, 48% (n=52) in asthma, 39% (n=82) in respiratory insufficiency and sleep disorders, 60% (n=49) in diagnostic and treatment techniques, 61% (n=35) in tuberculosis, 65% (n=87) in nontuberculous infections, 61% (n=121) in oncology, 60% (n=37) in circulation, 55% (n=47) in pleural diseases, 48% (n=21) in pathophysiology, and 64% (n=68) in interstitial diseases. We did not see a clear tendency in the evolution of the journal's key word usage for the knowledge areas analyzed during the study period. The percentage of matching key words held steady around 50% over the last 3 years. CONCLUSIONS: Respiratory system key words in the knowledge areas we investigated are used correctly in ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGIA only about 50% of the time.

As such, the paper reviews related work that has been of inspiration for the assembly of a semi-automatic, bibliometric-based, approach for construction and maintenance. Similarly, the paper discusses the methodical considerations behind the approach. Eventually, the semi- automatic approach is used to verify the applicability of bibliometric methods as a supplement to construction and maintenance of thesauri. In the context of knowledge organization, the paper outlines two fundamental approaches to knowledge organization, that is, the manual intellectual approach and the automatic algorithmic approach. Bibliometric methods belong to the automatic algorithmic approach, though bibliometrics do have special characteristics that are substantially different from other methods within this approach.

However, the application of bibliometric methods is not a completely automatic thesaurus construction process, as intellectual interpretation of identified candidate terms and concept relationships is required. Hence, we refer to the described approach as a semi-automatic approach to thesaurus construction and maintenance. The proposed approach is substantially different from the traditional automatic algorithmic term co-occurrence methods to thesaurus construction; because term class construction in the bibliometric approach is based on citations and references. Citations and references are independent of language and changing terminology, and consequently this can be exploited advantageously for thesaurus construction and maintenance purposes. Thus, bibliometric methods are recommendable for uncovering different knowledge patterns in texts, through the use of citations and references given in the scientific literature, as a supplement to the traditional approaches. Our approach and introduction of bibliometric methods to thesaurus construction and maintenance is new. The application of bibliometrics is rarely seen, with the exception of Rees-Potter (1987, 1989), who supports our approach. The proposed range of bibliometric methods is commonly known. The proposed range of methods and techniques to be verified are not definitive, but represent our choices of methods based on the presented methodical considerations. Further, the introduction of bibliometrics is not restricted to thesaurus construction and maintenance, but is also applicable to less elaborated and sophisticated knowledge organization systems, such as semantic networks and ontologies. Two main approaches exist to knowledge organization, that is, the manual intellectual approach and automatic algorithmic approach. The manual intellectual approach is considered essential to construction of knowledge organization systems due to the dynamic and complex nature of language. But the manual intellectual approach is also acknowledged for being a resource demanding and costly process. In contrast, the automatic algorithmic approach is less resource demanding and is furthermore suitable for managing large data sets, what makes it an attractive approach to knowledge organization. Consequently, the two main approaches supplement one another, and can advantageously be combined to counterbalance the strengths and weaknesses of each of them. Motivated by this bibliometrics is proposed as a semi-automatic approach to supplement the manual intellectual approach to thesaurus construction and maintenance - and is presented as the basic idea of the paper.

The main objective of the dissertation is to reintroduce, and further extend, the theoretical and methodological aspects of bibliometric methods to the research area of knowledge organization for the purpose of semi-automatic thesaurus construction. Thesaurus construction approaches are typically separated into manual approaches and automatic approaches. Albeit, some form of manual thesaurus construction is mandatory due to the relational complexities, semantic ambiguities, and dynamics, inherent in languages. Manual construction and maintenance are complex and time consuming. It is therefore beneficial and necessary to combine manual approaches with automatic approaches due to the complementarity of the two approaches (e.g., Soergel, 1974; Anderson & P?rez-Caraballo, 2001a; 2001b). When automatic approaches are used as a tool for thesaurus constructers, and not as a mean in itself, then we speak of semi-automatic thesaurus construction (Soergel, 1974). This is the foundation for the approach explored in the present dissertation. In order to pursue the main objective of semi-automatic thesaurus construction, a proposed bibliometric-based methodology of five components is explored as a supplement to manual intellectual thesaurus construction. The methodology is used as a framework for the investigation of the ability of bibliometric methods to identify candidate thesaurus terms and thesaural relationships, as well as to monitor potential terminological and conceptual changes within a specialty area. The bibliometric methods investigated include document co-citation analysis, citation context analysis, co-word analysis, and bibliometric ageing methods. The methodology is explored in a case study of periodontology, a specialty area within dentistry. The main contributions of the dissertation work are 1) an overall verification of the applicability of co-citation analysis, citation context analysis, and co-word analysis for semi-automatic thesaurus construction; 2) demonstration of the ability of co-citation analysis and citation context analysis to specifically identify important candidate thesaurus terms among a number of potential noun phrases, such terms are important because they are contextual and agreed upon in the scientific community; and 3) demonstration of the ability of co-citation analysis and co-word analysis to detect thesaural relationships between terms that do not, or rarely, co-occur directly with each other in citation contexts. These results are a direct consequence of the applied bibliometric based methodology. Consequently, the research reported on in the present doctoral dissertation is a contribution to the development of 'automatic methods' as tools for manual intellectual thesaurus construction.

Morris) Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 15:25:27 -0500 Subject: PhD thesis: Verification of bibliometric methods' ap plicability for thesaurus construction Message-ID: Jesper, I was not able to download the thesis using Netscape, but it worked when I switched to Internet Explorer. The thesis looks great, I liked the review of bibliometric methods in Chapter 5. Of course, the rest of the thesis (382 pages!) is not really light reading, but I'm very enthusiastic about the idea of 'concept symbols' and 'citation context analysis' as you've used them. Judging by your Summary and Conclusions, you've been able to show that citation context analysis can be used to identify candidate noun phrases for thesauri, that bibliographic methods such as co-word analysis can help find thesaural relationships among candidate terms, but you weren't able to detect changes in vocabulary over time using bibliographic methods. It would be interesting to see if your results, particularly those pertaining to detection of vocabulary changes, will extend to other specialties besides periodontology. Perhaps that field is sort of stuck in a "puzzle solving" mode right now and is not really undergoing any fundamental change. Perhaps looking at some other field, like complex networks, or some electronics specialties that are undergoing drastic change, would produce different results that would lead you to different conclusions?
