Title: Scientometrics of computer science research in India and China
Author(s): Kumar S, Garg KC
Source: SCIENTOMETRICS 64 (2): 121-132 AUG 2005
Document Type: Article
Language: English
Cited References: 14 Times Cited: 0
Abstract: An analysis of 2058 papers published by Chinese authors and 2678
papers published by Indian authors in the field of computer science during
1971-2000 indicates that India's output is significantly higher than the
Chinese output. However, China is catching up fast. Chinese researchers
prefer to publish their research results in domestic journals, while Indian
researchers prefer to publish their research results in journals published
in the advanced countries of the West. Also the share of papers in journals
covered by SCI for India was higher than from China. However, no
significant difference has been observed in the impact of the research
output of the two countries as seen by different impact indicators. Team
research is more common in India as compared to China.

TITLE: Data envelopment analysis of OR/MS journals (Article,
English)
AUTHOR: Lozano, S; Salmeron, JL
SOURCE: SCIENTOMETRICS 64 (2). AUG 2005. p.133-150 SPRINGER,
DORDRECHT
ABSTRACT:
This paper presents the results of a Data Envelopment
Analysis of Operations Research/ Management Science journals on two
questions: the duration of the refereeing/publication process and the
relation between the length of the articles published and their impact.
The second question uses data publicly available through the ISI Journal
Citation Reports database and through the journals contents while for the
first question data had to be gathered from the journal editors through an
e-mail survey. The analysis gives cues about the amount each journal should
aim to reduce their lead times, setting efficiency targets both on the
average time from submission to first editorial decision and on the time
from final editorial decision to publication. Similarly, for each journal,
efficiency targets for the average article length are obtained.
Our promoting of refereeing efficiency and paper length efficiency assumes
that no loss of quality in the peer review process or in the knowledge
transmission process needs to happen.

TITLE: National and international university departmental Web
site interlinking. Part 1: Validation of departmental link
analysis
(Article, English)
AUTHOR: Li, XM; Thelwall, M; Wilkinson, D; Musgrove, P

ABSTRACT:
The structural similarity between hyperlinks and
citations has encouraged information scientists to apply bibliometric
techniques to the Web. University links have been previously validated as a
new data source through significant statistical correlations between link
and research measures, together with identification of motivations for
hyperlink creation at the university level. Many investigations have been
conducted for university interlinking, but few for departments.
University Web sites are large compared with departmental Web sites, and
significant statistical results are more easily obtained. Nevertheless,
universities are multidisciplinary by nature and disciplines may employ the
Web differently, thus patterns identified at the university level may hide
subject differences. This paper validates departmental interlinking, using
Physics, Chemistry and Biology departments from Australia, Canada and the
UK.

TITLE: National and international university departmental Web
site interlinking. Part 2: Link patterns (Article, English)
AUTHOR: Li, XM; Thelwall, M; Wilkinson, D; Musgrove, P
SOURCE: SCIENTOMETRICS 64 (2). AUG 2005. p.187-208 SPRINGER,
DORDRECHT
ABSTRACT:
Although many link patterns have been identified at the
university level, departmental interlinking has been relatively ignored.
Universities are multidisciplinary by nature and various disciplines may
employ the Web differently, thus patterns identified at the university
level may hide subject differences. Departments are typically subject-
oriented, and departmental interlinking may therefore illustrate
interesting disciplinary linking patterns, perhaps relating to informal
scholarly communication. The aim of this paper is to identify whether and
how link patterns differ along country and disciplinary lines between
similar disciplines and similar countries. Physics, Chemistry and Biology
departments in Australia, Canada and the UK have been chosen. In order to
get a holistic picture of departments Web use profiles and link patterns,
five different perspectives are identified and compared for each set of
departments. Differences in link patterns are identified along both
national and disciplinary lines, and are found to reflect offline
phenomena. Along national lines, a likely explanation for the difference is
that countries with better research performances make more general use of
the Web; and, with respect to international peer interlinking, countries
that share more scholarly communication tend to interlink more with each
other. Along disciplinary lines, it seems that departments from disciplines
which are more willing to distribute their research outputs tend to make
more general use of the Web, and also interlink more with their national
and international peers.

Title: Signals in science - On the importance of signaling in gaining
attention in science
Author(s): van Dalen HP, Henkens K
Source: SCIENTOMETRICS 64 (2): 209-233 AUG 2005
Document Type: Article
Language: English

Abstract:
Which signals are important in gaining attention in science? For a group of
1,371 scientific articles published in 17 demography journals in the years
1990-1992 we track their influence and discern which signals are important
in receiving citations. Three types of signals are examined: the author's
reputation (as producer of the idea), the journal (as the broker of the
idea), and the state of uncitedness (as an indication of the assessment by
the scientific community of an idea). The empirical analysis points out
that, first, the reputation of journals plays an overriding role in gaining
attention in science. Second, in contrast to common wisdom, the state of
uncitedness does not affect the future probability of being cited. And
third, the reputation of a journal may help to get late recognition (so-
called sleeping beauties) as well as generate 'flash-in-the-pans':
immediately noted articles but apparently not very influential in the long
run.
