From leo.egghe at UHASSELT.BE Tue Aug 1 08:47:52 2006 From: leo.egghe at UHASSELT.BE (Leo Egghe) Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 14:47:52 +0200 Subject: Journal of Informetrics - Call for papers Message-ID: CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE NEW JOURNAL OF INFORMETRICS Leo Egghe August 1, 2006 On April 5, 2006, Elsevier (Oxford, UK) accepted my proposal for the foundation of a new journal in the field of informetrics. The evident name Journal of Informetrics (JOI) is the first internationally published journal that bears "informetrics" in its name. JOI is a journal with a broad spectrum of informetric topics: all quantitative aspects of information are included within the journal's scope. Of course, as for any peer-reviewed journal, there are the limitations to high-quality papers. Such papers can be described as articles containing mathematical-probabilistic-statistical models and/or containing a good description of universally interesting data-sets. The scope can be illustrated by the papers published in the journal Information Processing and Management in two special issues on informetrics in 2005 (V41/No6) and 2006 (V42/No6), see for which I was the guest-editor. These issues also show the form in which papers for JOI should be submitted. JOI will be a quarterly journal, each issue comprising about 100 pages. The first volume will be published in 2007. However it is the intention to have the printed and electronic version of the first issue ready by December 2006. Your are hereby invited to submit a paper for JOI for Volume 1, issues 2 and further. Submissions must be done using Elsevier's ees (electronic editorial system). Author guidelines will be available shortly. In the meantime you can submit a paper to me directly (e-mail: leo.egghe at uhasselt.be or tel. +32 11 26.81.21).

These patterns persist even when controlling for country of origin, ethnicity, and religion. We suspect that these effects are related to the existing norm in economics prescribing alphabetical ordering of authors? credits. Indeed, there is no significant correlation between surname initials and tenure at departments of psychology, where authors are credited roughly according to their intellectual contribution. The economics market participants seem to react to this phenomenon. Analyzing publications in the top economics journals since 1980, we note two consistent patterns: authors with higher surname initials are significantly less likely to participate in projects with more than three authors and significantly more likely to write papers in which the order of credits is non-alphabetical. Journal of Economic Literature classification numbers: A11, A13, J23, J70, Z13. Keywords: Norms, Economics Job Market, Alphabetical Discrimination.

Advancement is largely driven by peer-reviewed original research, so we sought to determine the representation of female physician-investigators among the authors of selected publications during the past 35 years. Methods: Original articles from six prominent medical journals - the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the Annals of Internal Medicine (Ann Intern Med), the Annals of Surgery (Ann Surg), Obstetrics & Gynecology (Obstet Gynecol), and the Journal of Pediatrics (J Pediatr) - were categorized according to the sex of both the first and the senior (last listed) author. Sex was also determined for the authors of guest editorials in NEJM and JAMA. Data were collected for the years 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2004. The analysis was restricted to authors from U.S. institutions holding M.D. degrees. Results: The sex was determined for 98.5 percent of the 7249 U.S. authors of original research with M.D. degrees. The proportion of first authors who were women increased from 5.9 percent in 1970 to 29.3 percent in 2004 (P < 0.001), and the proportion of senior authors who were women increased from 3.7 percent to 19.3 percent (P < 0.001) during the same period. The proportion of authors who were women increased most sharply in Obstet Gynecol (from 6.7 percent of first authors and 6.8 percent of senior authors in 1970 to 40.7 percent of first authors and 28.0 percent of senior authors in 2004) and J Pediatr (from 15.0 percent of first authors and 4.3 percent of senior authors in 1970 to 38.9 percent of first authors and 38.0 percent of senior authors in 2004) and remained low in Ann Surg (from 2.3 percent of first authors and 0.7 percent of senior authors in 1970 to 16.7 percent of first authors and 6.7 percent of senior authors in 2004). In 2004, 11.4 percent of the authors of guest editorials in NEJM and 18.8 percent of the authors of guest editorials in JAMA were women. Conclusions: Over the past four decades, the proportion of women among both first and senior physician-authors of original research in the United States has significantly increased. Nevertheless, women still compose a minority of the authors of original research and guest editorials in the journals studied.

The news was brought by the coordinator of E-LIS, Imma Subirats Coll. Speaking from Rome (Italy), Imma congratulated the international team of 63 national editors from 45 countries who work to fill the archive and maintains its metadata. "They continue to do a wonderful job." she said. In Padua (Italy), E-LIS founder Antonella De Robbio added "We are very grateful to the CILEA consortium for maintaining the server for us. Their operations have been very reliable. I am sure that their pioneering work will be acknowledged by LIS history." Speaking in Novosibirsk (Russia), Thomas Krichel, a volunteer for E-LIS, noted "There can be no doubt that E-LIS is becoming the subject-based archive of choice for the LIS community. Our operation is technically robust, and there is great deal of work going on to cater for the metadata associated with the papers. But E-LIS can not and will not rest on its laurels. It is our hope to be working more closely with the organizers of LIS conferences, such as we have done with the ASIS&T and Collnet meetings." In Philadelphia, (USA), the national editor for the USA, Norm Medeiros, added "Before uploading the papers from last year's American Society for Information Science and Technology annual meeting, we solicited permission from each corresponding author. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Most authors gave enthusiastic approval at the prospect of having their papers on E-LIS. The ASIS&T papers represent an important and lasting collection that E-LIS is proud to host." Speaking in Vancouver (Canada), Heather Morrison, the editor for Canada and a well-respected open access campaigner, said "This type of pro-active action sets the E-LIS team apart." In Mumbai, (India), V. L. Kalyane, the editor for India and member of the editorial board of the Indian Journal of Information, Library & Society, simply said "Congradulations".

The citedness score depends on the breadth of source coverage, and the ability of the software to identify the cited documents correctly. The citedness score may be a good indicator of the influence of the documents retrieved. Google Scholar gives the most prominence to the citedness score by using it in ranking the search results. Tests have been conducted to compare the individual and aggregate citedness scores of items in the results list of various known-item and subject searches in Web of Science (WoS) and Google Scholar (GS). This paper presents the findings of the comparison and analysis of the individual and aggregate citation scores calculated by WoS and GS for the papers published in 22 volumes of the Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology (APJAI). The aggregate citedness score was 1,355 for the 675 papers retrieved by WoS, and 595 for 680 papers found in GS. The findings of the analysis and comparison of tests, and the reasons for the significant limitations of Google Scholar in calculating and reporting the citedness scores are presented.

The fact that there are more female than male authors should be othogonal to the gender bias in the papers.

Full Text (8419 words) Copyright National Council of Teachers of English Conference on College Composition and Communication Jan 2006 Scene 1. College English. 1993. As epigraph to her article, "The Limits of Containment: Text-as-Container in Composition Studies," Darsie Bowden cites a nameless student, who is labeled only as "Student in a Composition Class" (364). I find it interesting that Bowden- or the editor of College English- chose to capitalize the entire label as though it was a proper name. With the inauguration of Young Scholars in Writing: Undergraduate Research in Writing and Rhetoric, composition scholars now have access to student writing that is not accompanied by-and therefore not represented as an instantiation of-the pedagogical apparatus that has historically accompanied the publication of student writing in composition studies' flagship journals. Students from schools as varied as the University of Missouri-Kansas City, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Oberlin College, and Messiah College publish their work in this new undergraduate rhetoric and writing journal founded by scholars Laurie Grobman and the late Candace Spigelman of Penn State Berks-Lehigh Valley. As is the case with any other work published in a journal, authors' full names, institutional affiliations, and short bios are provided. Each essay that appears in Young Scholars has been reviewed by peers and almost all of the essays have been through at least one revision. For Volume 1, students in a senior capstone English course called The Editorial Process served as blind peer reviewers. For subsequent volumes, previously published Young Scholars authors have joined students in the capstone course to serve as manuscript reviewers. Unlike most other student writing published in composition studies journals, students are not identified as students of particular teachers or particular pedagogies, but as authors in their own right. In the Fall 2003 inaugural issue, which includes articles on, for example, basic literacy, collaborative learning, online texts and identities, and peer tutoring and literacy narratives, Grobman and Spigelman suggest that readers approach the published student writing as scholarship. Should this approach take hold in the field, composition scholars will be faced with important theoretical questions about what it means to cite the work of other teachers' students by full name. What implications might such citation practices hold for the field's current practices of citing students anonymously or by first name only? In this essay, I will argue that citation practices are, at least in part, determined by affect. We cite the people we cite for a variety of reasons, and one of those reasons is that we have what Robert J. Connors calls "feelings of debt and ownership" ("Rhetoric," Part 1 7) toward the texts and the authors we cite. While my argument implies a new understanding of writing teachers' relationships to the work students produce in their classes, my goal here is not to evaluate the consequences of this changing relationship or to suggest classroom methodologies for managing such changes. My primary concern in this essay is twofold: first, I want to focus on the specific way in which a shifting disciplinary focus from writing as verb-as represented most clearly by the pedagogical imperative-to writing as noun-and object of study in its own right-has created a new opportunity for students to contribute to the disciplinary knowledge of composition studies. Second, I am concerned with the specific potential that Young Scholars in Writing has to prompt a reevaluation of composition studies' citation of students anonymously or by first name only. When student texts are represented in composition studies as more than instantiations of particular pedagogies-when student texts are not indebted to our pedagogical work, in other words-as they are not in Young Scholars in Writing-what patterns of citation will we establish to acknowledge our "feelings of debt and ownership" toward these student authors? In his work on the rhetoric of citation systems, Connors notes that, though such systems "constrain many of the ways we deal with each other and each other's work, they have largely gone unremarked" (Part 2 242). I've set myself the task of remarking on composition studies' citation of student authors, largely because I see in students' opportunity to publish their work a new challenge for composition scholars. WRITING, N. In their article, "When Peer Tutors Write about Writing: Literacy Narratives and Self Reflection," Heather Bastian and Lindsey Harkness demonstrate that composition scholars have constructed "an image-a critical image-of students," and that such critical images of students are further supported by the type of student the discourse community of composition chooses to discuss in their essays. Struggling or poor writers remain the focus. The preoccupation with "poor" and "struggling" students establishes these writers as the norm and disregards other students, such as competent college writers. (81) Bastian and Harkness suggest that students ought to be provided opportunities "to engage in the rhetoric of the composition field, so that they can create more accurate representations of themselves" (91), a suggestion that makes sense when one considers the extent to which composition studies-unlike, say, astronomy or biology or economics-has relied upon student writing as the subject of so much of its research. While I agree wholeheartedly with Bastian and Harkness's claim that providing students the opportunity to represent themselves in composition scholarship might allow the field to "learn about the concerns of student writers and student writing from the writers themselves" (92), as a disciplined compositionist I also know that composition studies remains far more interested in the how of teaching writing than in the what of that writing. The pedagogical imperative-the expectation that all scholarly and theoretical work in composition translate relatively seamlessly to classroom practice-has functioned to perpetuate the field's interest in teaching practices-the how. Recently, a number of compositionists have begun to consider what a writing course might look like were we to combine the how with the what. In WPA-L listserv discussions, Doug Downs, Christina Fisanick, and Elizabeth Wardle advocate a focus in first-year composition courses on the very questions underpinning composition studies itself-especially student empowerment. This small trend represents a shift in the central question of composition studies, as John Trimbur notes in his article "Changing the Question: Should Writing Be Studied?" In the 1960s and 1970s, the central question of composition studies was "Can writing be taught?" (16). The process movement, in what Trimbur calls "a kind of trickster operation," revised the question to "How can writing be learned?" shifting the subject of the question from teacher to student and leading to "a proliferation of answers with no end in sight" (22). The question that seems now to be at the forefront of composition studies is "Should writing be studied?" and the answer that the process movement, with the writing workshop at the center of undergraduate writing instruction, seems to be providing is a resounding "no" (22). Trimbur cites the pedagogical imperative-on the part of not just teachers but also students who expect to become better writers through classroom practice-as the reason the question "Should writing be studied?" has met with such negative responses. The pedagogical imperative fixes writing as a verb, whereas Bastian and Harkness's work-and the publication of Young Scholars in Writing more generally-forces us to see writing as a noun, an object of study for students as well as for teachers. More recently, Nancy Dejoy argues in her book, Process This: Undergraduate Writing in Composition Studies, that engaging students in the questions of composition studies is essential to reconceiving students' current positions as consumers of composition's disciplinary knowledge and seeing them as participants in and contributors to such knowledge. Such work explicitly shifts the focus from writing as verb-as represented by the process movement's tenet that all students can write and all students can be taught to write-to writing as noun and object of classroom study. If students are studying and theorizing about writing, rather than simply learning how to write, as clearly they are-and they're publishing their work in peer-reviewed journals-composition studies will need to revise its citation practices. I have to step back at this point and confess that my first professional impulse on citing the work of Bastian and Harkness is to analyze their work as student writing, to draw on it as support for a pedagogical argument I'm making ("see, when we ask students to write about writing, they do so eloquently and convincingly," writes the teacher hero). I approach the writing in YSIW as student writing even though I have no knowledge of the pedagogical apparatus that shaped the writing. Jane E. Hindman might say that this is because I've been disciplined to approach student writing in particular ways, that my professional identity involves conflicting functions: those of both "a guardian of cultural capital disciplined by the conventions of professional practice and a cultural critic committed to revealing and decentering hegemonic domination of access to power and knowledge" (103). To analyze student writing for what it demonstrates about a particular pedagogy-this is an authorizing move in the discourse of composition studies, perhaps the authorizing move. Further, Anis Bawarshi's notion of the "genre function" offers a compelling explanation of how genre shapes our disciplinary responses to student writing. Bawarshi explains that "as individuals' rhetorical responses to recurrent situations become typified as genres, the genres in turn help structure the way these individuals conceptualize and experience these situations, predicting their notions of what constitutes appropriate and possible responses and actions" (340). Our role as teacher is constituted by the genres within which we work and which shape our understanding of both students' and our own "appropriate and possible responses": the genre of the assignment prompt, of the student essay, of responses to student writing. To approach student writing as an instantiation of a particular pedagogy, as we've been disciplined to do for decades now, is to fix writing as a verb, to focus on the how rather than the what. But Young Scholars in Writing doesn't allow readers to make that move because it includes no pedagogical apparatus. Instead, the journal's editors ask that we read student writing as scholarship that contributes to the "on-going formation of this disciplinary community" (5). To approach student writing as scholarship fixes writing as a noun, as a contribution to the work of composition. If we take up Grobman and Spigelman's call, the ongoing formation of composition studies' disciplinary community is going to be marked by shifting conceptions of what it means to draw on undergraduates' writing. Despite composition scholars' earlier suggestions that, for example, we read the work of beginning writers as the work of authors, thus allowing for the possibility of reading students' work "as we might read any other author's texts, not as the 'emerging' or 'failed' work of outsiders" (Greene 189), disciplinary citation practices preclude scholars' citing students as they might cite any other author. Citation practices suggest a great deal, as Connors notes, about authors' "feelings of debt and ownership" ("Rhetoric," Part 1 7). When we cite one another but leave students nameless or pseudonymous, we perpetuate an author/student binary that works against our liberatory disciplinary ideals. If, as Connors suggests, the author's name functions as a sort of "nametag" for a work (Part 2 239),1 the student's name has to this point functioned in composition scholarship as evidence of the teachers pedagogical accomplishment. Scene 2. JAC. 2001. In her published response to Thomas Rickert's work, Judith Goleman finds herself unconsciously challenging the prevailing discourse of composition studies when she grants student writing the same stature as the work of colleagues. Goleman explains that, in the process of writing this response, I have come to understand how "John White" [her pseudonym for a student] succeeded in disrupting my normal reading with his act. Two-thirds of the way through my first draft, I noticed that I had stopped referring to my former student as "John" and had begun calling him by his surname, "White," extending to him the same stature I had given Rickert and Bartholomae. I have decided not to correct this inconsistency but to retain it as a marker of the way my authoritative relationship with John White's work was altered. ("Writing" 661) I cannot help picking up on Goleman's choice of the word stature. While Goleman consciously gave her student the pseudonym "John White," her respect for her student's writing led her to grant him the kind of authority we usually consciously try to (and are told to) avoid. THE FUNCTIONS OF CITATION As scholars of authorship have noted, citation practices are explained to students primarily via economic metaphors (Gilfus; Howard; Rose). Students are taught-in handbooks and in classroom exchanges-that the primary function of citation is to avoid plagiarism by giving credit where credit is due. Students are admonished to reveal their indebtedness to the authors whose work subsidizes their own. In composition studies, a field whose research has for decades now been advanced by the work of both scholars and students, it seems rather logical to argue that composition scholars ought also to give credit where credit is due, to acknowledge their indebtedness to the students whose work has provided so much rich data for their research. But, as I will demonstrate below, citation practices are not governed by logic alone. Rather, affect governs so many of our citation decisions that one cannot help but wonder what role affect plays in our disciplinary practice of citing students by only their first names. I break down the following functions of citation into three permeable categories: those functions that primarily serve the reader, those that primarily serve the citing author(s), and those that primarily serve the cited author(s). My purpose in establishing such categories is to emphasize the relational functions of citation. While many of the following functions most certainly fit into more than one category, I construct this rather arbitrary system of categories so that I may demonstrate the differing degrees to which reader, writer, and cited author benefit from scholarly citation practices. For the reader of a scholarly work, citation functions to 1. Provide access to source material.2 As Connors notes in his history of citation systems, parenthetical systems such as APA and MLA "had as their clearest purpose the easing of a reader's task of finding and accessing cited sources" ("Rhetoric," Part 2 238). This function of citation is perhaps the second most frequently cited explanation of citation systems given to students. Imagine a reader who wants to follow up on an idea you mentioned only briefly, we tell students. I imagine there are very few writing teachers who ask students to imagine a plagiarism-obsessed teacher who wants to police the students' work, though this second function of citation undoubtedly performs double duty in this way. 2. Establish relationships among texts. As Shirley K. Rose has noted, multiple citations in a text function to establish coherence relationships, including the coordinate relationship ("and"), the opposite ("but"), the generative ("for"), the consequential ("so"), the apposite ("or"), the exemplary ("for example"), the sequential ("first, second") and the iterative (244). Interestingly, Rose names the exemplary relationship as that which "makes the strongest of claims for the value of its contribution to the disciplinary economy" (246). Student texts for decades now have been and continue to be represented in the scholarship as examples and therefore as strong claims for the value of a particular pedagogy, that pedagogy designed and implemented by the author of the article. Rose goes on to argue that "exemplary citations implicitly argue that within an area of study or category of texts, one text can stand for all, which can also be understood as a claim to uniformity and reliability" (247). When students are known to a disciplinary community only as Sarah or Dwayne or Minh or Bobby, readers are led to believe that one student stands for all students in a way that readers would never be led to believe one authorship theorist stands for all authorship theorists, for example. For the author of a scholarly text, citing other scholars functions to 1. Establish the citing author's expertise. Connors notes that parenthetical reference systems "were formulated to allow authors to display complete control over previous work in their special field" (Part 2 238). 2. Provide evidence for the citing author's claims. 3. Affirm the citing author's membership and participation in a particular discourse community (Connors Part 1; Rose). Rebecca Moore Howard notes that citation is a means by which one "establishes one's right to contribute a subordinate voice to scholarly discourse" (2). When, earlier in this essay, I cited the work of Bowden, Goleman, and Trimbur, I was letting my readers know that I am versed in the discourse of composition studies. My citations of these scholars might be said to function, as Connors puts it, as a "secret handshake known only to members of the secret society" (Part 2). Clearly, this function of citation overlaps with Number 1. By displaying my "complete control" over previous work in my field, I am also claiming membership in a particular discourse community. 4. Align a citing author with a particular school of thought. To cite Peter Elbow, Donald Murray, James Britton, and Ken Macrorie is to align oneself with the school of thought in composition studies known as expressivism. To cite David Bartholomae, Joseph Harris, Bruce Horner, and Min-Zhan Lu is to align oneself with a pedagogical approach associated with the Pittsburgh School: an approach characterized by an emphasis on academic discourse and a social-epistemic rhetorics. 5. Act as a "protective garment" (Howard), "battering any potential critics into silence" (Connors, "Rhetoric," Part 1 11). If readers doubt my claim about this function of citation, I direct them to the work of Howard and Connors, both of whom are established, respected scholars of compositions studies. For the authors whose work is cited, such citation functions to 1. Give credit where credit is due. Just as students are required to acknowledge whose work shaped their own, so too are scholars expected to do the same. 2. "Identify and legitimate contributions to a discipline's economy" (Rose 244). When Jennifer Beech cites, in the same article, both Joseph Harris and Jim Goad, she is legitimating Goad's contribution to our disciplinary knowledge. Likewise, when Julie Lindquist introduces composition scholars to the ethnographic work of Laura Grindstaff, Lindquist legitimates Grindstaff's contribution to the field's understanding of emotions as performance. When students are represented by first name only, their contributions to the discipline are neither identified nor legitimated. 3. Call attention to the work of a little-known or an up-and-coming scholar. When Rebecca Moore Howard, my dissertation director, cites my unpublished work in a keynote address at a national conference, her citation functions to legitimate the contribution my work has thus far made to the field. 4. Suggest a great deal about an author's "feelings of debt and ownership" (Connors, "Rhetoric," Part 1 7). While scholars are honor-bound to cite those whose work they've quoted directly, one could argue that they are not honor-bound to list the names of every writer who has influenced their work; indeed, such a task would prove next to impossible. Therefore, those whose work is cited are those to whom the author experiences "feelings of debt and ownership. "As Howard notes in "The Citation Mambo," Peter Elbow's feelings of debt and ownership-as evidenced by the acknowledgments he makes in the second edition of Writing without Teachers-have changed significantly since the 1973 publication of the first edition. In the second edition, Elbow acknowledges his intellectual debts" (qtd. in Howard 13) to the work of Macrorie, Michael Polyani, Peter Medawar, Carl Rogers, Jerome Bruner, and others. 5. Indicate the citing author's respect for the cited author's work. The people whose work we choose to cite in our own work are the people we have deemed worthy of response, and the people we have deemed worthy of response are, I argue, those whose work we respect. I don't think it's a stretch to claim that the decisions we make about whose work to cite are affective decisions. 6. "Affirm individual property, relinquishing the citing writer's claim to it" (Howard 6). The words I cite in quotation marks belong not to me but to the author whose name appears in parentheses after the quotation marks. I acknowledge, when citing Howard, that her ideas are her own, and that those ideas have influenced my own. Paradoxically, this move perpetuates the figure of the autonomous author who owns her work (Howard, in this case) and the influenced author who stands on the shoulders of those authors (I, in this case). My work is made possible, in part, by Howard's work. 7. "Show how [others] have shared their work with us" (Robbins 168). Sarah Robbins sees this move as a way of creating a record "of the meaningful, materially situated links between our writing and its sources, not because others we 'credit' with conventions like footnotes are the sole owners of their texts" (168). Rather, this move to acknowledge the ways others have shared their work with us is a move to avoid "the problems that result when authorial credit becomes so blurred as to make the monitoring of textual integrity impossible" (167). A colleague of mine remarked earlier this year, after my telling her about my work's being cited by a friend of a friend in College English, that she has a small group of graduate school buddies who try to cite one another whenever possible. To risk stating the obvious, this is because there is value in being cited by others in the field. To be cited is to know that one is being read, but, perhaps more important, such citations function as a form of exchange value in the academic marketplace. When my work is cited, I can materially represent my "impact on the field," and my value in the academic marketplace increases. When I cite the work of a colleague whom I know personally, then, I am doing more than indicating the ways her work has influenced my own. I am calling scholarly attention to her work because I know that that attention is valuable in its own right. In addition to establishing one of the eight epistemic relationships Rose points to above, I am representing an affective relationship. In this list of thirteen functions of citation, one notices traces of affect. Most obvious is Connors's claim that citation suggests "feelings of debt and ownership" [emphasis added]. Debt and ownership are not subject simply to the rules of logic. I may feel debt toward Howard for her influence on my work, but I also may feel ownership of the work students in my classes do as a result of the sequence of assignments I designed. My feelings of debt and ownership are evidenced, then, in my representation-my citation-of some writers and not of others. Affect is evident, too, in the metaphors Rose has used to describe the functions of citation. As an act of faith, citation might be understood as "a ritual whereby a writer affirms community membership and testifies to his or her acceptance of the shared beliefs of the discourse community" (241). As a courtship ritual, citation might be understood as that which builds "identification among members of a discourse community" (2 47). Faith and courtship are decidedly affective, not subject to logic. The predominant metaphor in writing handbooks, Rose notes, is the economic metaphor (241), that which relies on matters of debt, credit, and payment. When we talk about citation with students, it's the economic metaphor that predominates because it's the economic metaphor that is most susceptible to logic rather than affect. With students, teachers don't often talk about "feelings" of debt; rather, our discussions of citation are likely dominated by the notion of giving credit where credit is due. And credit is due whenever we use the words or ideas of another writer. Simple as that. But most writers know on some level that citations aren't simply matters of rationality and logic. Citations reveal a great deal about personal allegiances. We cite the people we cite because we feel certain things toward them. Judith Goleman has had a tremendous impact on my scholarly growth. My citation of her work in this essay functions not necessarily to showcase my expertise in Goleman's work but as a kind of public acknowledgment of the impact she's had on my thinking. She trained me to see composition studies as a field devoted to the study of student writing and to understand my function as a composition scholar as, in large part, to demonstrate the ways student writing contributes to my disciplinary knowledge. This is not to say that we necessarily know personally the people whose work we cite. When I get really excited about something I'm reading, there is clearly emotion involved. For example, the first time I read Carolyn Kay Steedman's Landscape for a Good Woman, I literally had to stop myself from going forward because I wanted to savor each and every word. Steedman was the first writer I'd read who seemed to be putting my social class experiences into words, words that I hadn't been able to find up to that point. When I then cite Steedman's work in my own, I am representing an affective relationship at the same time that I am representing an epistemological relationship. Hindman might note that what I am doing when I call attention to the affective experiences I have with texts is "bearing witness to [my] own rhetoricity" (99). The citation practices I am calling attention to in this essay are part and parcel of the authority composition studies has constructed for itself within the larger academic community. In order to preserve this constructed authority, composition scholars, like other professionals, "systematically and systemically reroute our professional authority from the transient, contextual vicissitudes of our everyday practices and corporeal selves to an already constituted and abstract realm of disciplinary subjects, linguistic patterns, and texts" (Hindman 100). The authors whose work we cite in our scholarship, Hindman seems to suggest, become author-functions rather than materially situated people. It will take more than reading students' work "as we might any other author's text" (Greene 189) to affect the way we cite students in the scholarship. I am suggesting that the publication of an undergraduate journal in writing and rhetoric has the potential to disrupt this pattern by forcing us to rethink our relationship to students involved in the scholarship of writing and rhetoric. More than a demonstration of the pedagogical imperative, Young Scholars in Writing functions as evidence that students are able and willing to contribute to composition studies' disciplinary knowledge about writing and rhetoric. Scene 3. College Composition and Communication. 2004. Goleman's "An 'Immensely Simplified Task': Form in Modern Composition-Rhetoric" foregrounds one student's work and, in this essay, Goleman does not remark on her decision to refer to her student by full name, leading me to conclude that she has made a conscious decision to grant student writing the same stature as the work of Barrett Wendell and Fred Newton Scott. After introducing her student by full name-"So begins Sahra Ahmed's essay, 'Language Identity vs. Identity Crisis,' written in response to an assignment inviting students to compose their own complex portrait or complex analysis of cause [...]" (62)-Goleman refers to her student by surname only, a convention reserved in the discourse of composition studies for authors and scholars. THE FUNCTIONS OF CITING STUDENT WRITING In her analysis of Elbow's evolving citation practices, Howard argues that "citation practices vary according to the status of the person doing the citing" (7), and my analysis of scholars' patterns of citations of students persuades me that citation practices vary, too, according to the status of the person being cited. Again, to cite particular writers is to align oneself with a particular school of thought. To cite Elbow, Macrorie, and Murray is to align oneself with expressivist theory. To cite Sahra Ahmed or Silas Kulkarni or Alicia Brazeau is to align oneself with students, to forward the argument that students contribute to the knowledge of composition studies as more than examples of particular pedagogies. To cite students is to forward the argument that writing as a mode of learning (Emig) is a dialogic process; teachers teach students to write, but students, in their writing, teach teachers about more than the results of particular pedagogies. As Goleman demonstrates in her discussion of Ahmed's work, students can push instructors to become deeply involved in the content-the what in addition to the how-of their writing and its implications for our theories of literacy-as opposed to instructors'published responses to the results of a particular pedagogy. Goleman writes, Indeed, in the process of puzzling my initial response to Ahmed's paper, I have been challenged to reconsider my commonsense Western assumption that her wish for a "true Somali identity" necessarily contradicts her wish for others to understand both the vicissitudes of heteroglossia in postcolonial contexts and the reality of hybrid identities. I have asked myself, What if the acquisition of full literacy in the Somali language has been a force of resistance against domination and oppression, making its acquisition transformative in a different but equally plausible way as a sociopolitical analysis of one's hybridity? ("Simplified" 67-68) The relationship Goleman establishes between Ahmed's work and her own theorizing is what Rose would call a generative relationship. While Ahmed's paper might be said to be exemplary in the sense that Goleman does provide the pedagogical context in which Ahmed's paper was produced, Goleman's primary purpose in citing Ahmed is not to forward a particular pedagogy but, I argue, to document the ways that Ahmed shared her work with her (Robbins 168). When I was a graduate student learning to become a writing teacher, I was one of five teaching interns working under Goleman's direction. When Goleman decided to draw on my experiences as both a graduate student and as a new teacher of writing in a conference paper she was drafting, she requested my permission. I agreed, as long as I was able to read a draft of the paper, to see the way my work was being represented-to see what Goleman really thought of my work as a writing teacher. Goleman kept me anonymous, naming me "Charlotte." Though I didn't raise this issue at the time, I remember thinking that I would have preferred to be represented in her work by my real name. If I was going to be accorded the respect that accompanies citation-be it supportive or antagonistic-I wanted to be identified so that I could then point to the impact my work had had on a scholar whose work I respected. I wanted the right to claim the exchange value that accompanies citation. I imagine these feelings were not unique to me. Every time I've asked a student for permission to use his or her work in my own scholarship, that student has enthusiastically agreed. I've always given students the choice between remaining anonymous and being cited by their full names, and students have almost always chosen to be represented by their full names. Students, like anyone else, are generally pleased to see that their work has had an impact on someone else's thinking. They, like anyone else, like the idea of seeing their names in print. The most explicit example of this enthusiasm that I can think of in recent composition scholarship appears in Gail Stygall's article, "Resisting Privilege: Basic Writing and Foucault's Author Function." Stygall describes a project involving graduate students at Miami University, basic writing students at Temple University, and basic writing students at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Graduate students corresponded with the basic writing students in an effort to become conscious of the discursive practices involved in constructing students as "basic writers" (322). My interest in this article lies specifically in an exchange between graduate student "Laurie" and basic writing student "Marg." In an explicit acknowledgement of the uses to which her writing is being put, Laurie writes to Marg: Why are our teachers having us do this? We're interesting people! We write differently, go to different schools, have different lives-all that'll show up in one way or another. Then they can write about us! I don't mind, either. It's really fun to meet another person-even through the mail-and I'll take my paragraph of fame if this winds up going somewhere for my teacher. (333) My initial reaction to this exchange is evidenced by my marginal notation: "How can you have 'fame' if you're known and represented as simply 'Laurie'?" Clearly, Laurie understands that there is value in being cited in her teacher's scholarship. And now, as I write, my reaction is focused on Laurie's understanding-even as she's writing-that her work will be appropriated. Stygall interprets Laurie's statement differently, however. Because Stygall is constructing an argument about the pervasiveness of the author-function in English departments, she sees Laurie's statement as an acknowledgment on Laurie's part that writing is what "will lead to being the author-scholar" (335). Following her reproduction of Laurie's comment about her "paragraph of fame," Stygall writes, simply, "Writing is the game and they intend to be players" (335). Evident in Stygall's commentary is an understanding that Laurie knows the value of being cited; she wants to be a "player" in the "game" of writing. But Stygall resists acknowledging that Laurie's statement evidences an awareness that Stygall benefits from her use of Laurie's writing. Laurie is the subject of StygalPs research. Laurie is thus provided no opportunity to respond-at least publicly-to StygalPs interpretation of her writing. Likewise, as an anonymous student, Laurie cannot lay claim to the exchange value that accompanies citation with anyone other than her teacher or classmates; she cannot claim her "paragraph of fame." The primary reason provided for not citing students' full names in our work is that students need protection in ways that published authors do not. In 1994, as editor of College Composition and Communication, Joseph Harris issued a statement designed to regulate contributors' use of student work in published scholarship.3 The exigency for Harris's statement is the "exciting" broadening of "the range of texts that are now seen as calling for study and response-drawing attention especially to the writings of students, but also to assignments, comments on students papers [...]" (439). Citing the need to "distinguish between citing the published work of a mature scholar and the semi-private writings of students," Harris encourages contributors to College Composition and Communication to quote student work "both anonymously and with permission" (440). The issue for Harris is "one of control over text" (439). While published authors have the opportunity to revise their work before it appears in a scholarly journal, students often do not have the same opportunity, Harris points out. Rather than suggesting that authors provide students that opportunity, Harris suggests instead that we keep students anonymous and do not include them in our lists of works cited. An anonymous reviewer of an earlier draft of this essay takes issue with my treatment of Harris because, "if students are authors, they are out in the arena and open to criticism." Harris himself, in the same piece, writes that one of the functions of citation is to invoke response (441) and that cited authors ought to be represented "as agents making claims whose particulars are now being disputed, extended, or qualified" (440). The anonymous reviewer suggests that it is with "considerable validity" that institutional review boards "work to protect students' rights as subjects of our research." I am suggesting that, with the publication of Young Scholars in Writing, students are going to be appearing in our scholarship as more than the subjects of our research. While early scholarship in composition studies indeed focused on students as subjects of our research, and scholarship about students continues to dominate the field, the function of student writing need not be-and will not be, if Grobman and Spigelman's call is taken up-limited to serving as the subject of our research. There's room for us to do more than study our students' writing; with the publication of student work in Young Scholars in Writing, we now have the opportunity to establish what Rose calls "coherence relationships" between the published work of scholars and the published work of students. And, significantly, students have the opportunity to represent themselves as writers and thinkers contributing to the knowledge of an academic field. Moreover, the claim that student authors need "protection" becomes more difficult to defend when we reconsider it in light of the acknowledgment by Howard and Connors that even members of the discourse community need protection from potential criticism. Recall that one of the functions of citation is to "act as a protective garment" (Howard), "battering any potential critics into silence" (Connors, "Rhetoric," Part 1 11). Thus, while Harris points to the differences in control over text as a primary reason for keeping student authors anonymous, the notion that even established scholars need "protection" from potential criticism suggests that there are additional reasons for refusing to name students in our work. These reasons, I suggest, are affective. Composition studies is a field that prides itself on its relationship to pedagogy, to learning, to students and their writing. We believe that writing can be empowering, and we've spent decades gathering pedagogical support for such claims. Because of this particular relationship that the field has established with students, I've divided the functions of citing student writing into two permeable categories. Where scholarly citation in general functions as a form of cultural capital for both the cited author and the citing author, scholarly citation of student work in composition studies can function as a form of capital for the cited author-the student-and for the field more generally. For students, composition scholars' complete citation of their writing functions to 1. Give credit where credit is due. 2. Establish the cited author-and not just the group to which that cited author belongs, in this case "students"-as a legitimate contributor to a discourse community. 3. Engender relationships among citing author(s) and cited authors(s) that move beyond the exemplary, teacher-student relationship fostered by the pedagogical imperative and toward what Rose calls generative, coordinate, and consequential relationships. As Goleman's work with Ahmed demonstrates, citing students by their full names offers composition scholars a concrete method of documenting the ways teachers learn from their students. For the academic field of composition studies, scholars' complete citation of student writing functions to 1. Resist appropriation of student writing. 2. Challenge the commonplace argument that students require a kind of protection from response that published scholars do not. 3. Carve a space for published student response to scholars' interpretations of student work. Carra Leah Hood recently argued that journals that accept scholarship reliant on student writing should provide space for students' written responses to scholars' interpretations of their work (66), and I agree. Grobman, faculty editor of Young Scholars in Writing, recently announced that the journal "seeks Comments & Responses written by undergraduates that engage in intellectual dialogue with previously published articles in the journal." Three "Comment and Response" essays will appear in the journal's third volume. I applaud this move, though I do not believe that such responses should be restricted to Young Scholars in Writing. With the publication of Young Scholars in Writing, individual teachers have little cultural capital to accrue because the journal presents student writing as scholarship rather than as an instantiation of a particular pedagogy for which a teacher can take credit. Instead, the field is faced with a challenge to its practices of citing student work. MEETING THE CHALLENGE WITH DEEP ACTING The authors whose work we choose to cite are those authors whose work we as members of this discourse community choose to legitimate, respect, acknowledge, and affirm-even when we vigorously disagree with their claims. The students whose work we choose to cite are those students whose work we believe is in need of protection from a disciplinary economy that approaches living, breathing, material people as abstractions, as author-functions. Composition scholars are trained to read student writing in particular ways-as instantiations of particular pedagogies that might be replicated in different classrooms rather than as writing that might contribute to "the on-going formation of this disciplinary community" (Grobman and Spigelman 5). Until the publication of Young Scholars in Writing, readers have been able to distinguish between the work of scholars and that of students by simply noting whose work is identified by full name rather than by first name or anonymously. I believe that Lindquist's most recent work provides one possibility for approaching the challenge that Young Scholars in Writing poses to composition studies' citation practices. In her article, "Class Affects, Classroom Affectations," Lindquist draws on the work of cultural ethnographer Laura Grindstaff to argue for the value of teachers' performing strategic empathy in the writing classroom with working-class students. Grindstaff draws on Arlie Russell Hochschild to distinguish between "surface acting" and "deep acting." Lindquist explains the difference between surface acting and deep acting in terms of control: When you're surface acting, you remain in control of your emotions by consciously structuring the impressions you produce. When you're deep acting, you relinquish the possibility of emotional control. When you deep act, in other words, you work, through acts of will and imagination, to open yourself to the possibility that you might persuade yourself that the emotions you are presenting are real. You risk becoming the thing you are performing. Deep acting is, paradoxically, the process of exerting control in order to relinquish control. (197) If citations are affective (and I think they are), then I believe we stand to gain by applying Lindquist's deep-acting approach to the context of scholarly citations. Lindquist believes that "the idea of deep acting as a pedagogical stance gets us into a place where we can begin to imagine how students' experiences of class can have heuristic potential" (205), and I believe that the idea of deep acting as an approach to citing students in composition scholarship has the potential to better show the ways students have shared their work with us (Robbins 168). While Lindquist's argument is, as she says, "a case for relinquishing certain forms of control," it is also-and this is significant-"a case for controlling other things presumed not to be subject to, or appropriate for, control" (205). To name is to control. To withhold a student's name is a form of that control. In his work on the rhetoric of citations systems, Connors notes that "citation rhetorics only occasionally seem like anything individual authors can control" ("Rhetoric," Part 2 242). Goleman is certainly not the only individual in composition studies to resist the dominant patterns of citing students. I believe, though, that when one performs a kind of "deep acting" with respect to reading the work of scholars like Goleman, one opens up the possibility of becoming the reader who acknowledges the significance of the work of writers like Sahra Ahmed. Further, to perform a kind of deep acting when citing students ourselves in our scholarship is to alter the conditions of production of that scholarship. We open ourselves to the possibility of becoming writers who acknowledge the contributions of student work to our own work, thereby engendering the possibility that readers will develop belief in the value of the texts we cite-whether we label them student texts or not. There are, of course, important differences between a conception of deep acting as a performance in the classroom for students to see and a conception of deep acting as a performance in the relative isolation of reading and writing with student scholarship. In the classroom, performing what Lindquist calls strategic empathy as a teacher is working to convince both oneself and one's students that one feels a certain way in order to facilitate students' emotional learning. Performing such strategic affect as a scholar involves convincing oneself and one's readers that all of the authors one cites are legitimate, valued members of this discourse community with knowledge to contribute. Teacher-scholars can no longer appropriate the writing that their pedagogy has helped to produce; there is no exchange value for teachers themselves when they perform deep acting with citation practices. As a reader of such scholarship, one works to control one's professional desire for the pedagogical apparatus that has historically accompanied the publication of student writing. Scholars do this in order to facilitate a disciplinary recognition of composition studies' indebtedness to students' perspectives and, now, to their contributions to the knowledge of the field. In her recent essay, "Distributed Authorship: A Feminist case-Study Framework for Studying Intellectual Property," Robbins notes that while composition teachers have recently begun acknowledging their appreciation for writing by students and "other marginalized groups" as "forms of authorship," the emphasis in discussions of intellectual property has been on "protecting producers who are potentially vulnerable to appropriation and/or misuse, in large part because their status as authors is tenuous" (155). With the publication of Young Scholars in Writing, students' status as authors is decidedly less tenuous. In enacting a form of Lindquist's strategic empathy, composition scholars make possible relationships to student writing that move beyond protection and instantiation of pedagogical theories. Individually, teacher-scholars have less to gain as they cannot claim responsibility for the pedagogy that "produced" student writing. Disciplinarily, though, composition scholars stand to gain a more productive, respectful, and legitimate relationship to students and their writing when we work to demonstrate the ways they have and continue to share their work and their knowledge with us. [Footnote] NOTES 1. Connors's point here is obviously an echo of Michel Foucault's notion of the "author-function," and an extension of Barthes's declaration of the author's death. Indeed, had I simply mentioned in this note that Connors's point here is an extension of Foucault and Barthes, most readers would need no more than a quick reference to these "nametags." 2. The practice, however, of citing "unpublished manuscripts" or even "forthcoming" works would seem to negate this function at the same time that it indicates a particular kind of relationship between citing author and cited author. If I'm citing the unpublished work of a student, the relationship between citing author and cited author is relatively straightforward. If I'm citing the unpublished work of a colleague, however, the very fact that I have access to this unpublished work suggests a great deal about personal relationships, allegiances, and, I argue, affect. 3. Since the publication of Harris's statement, the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) has issued its position statement, "Guidelines for the Ethical Treatment of Students and Student Writing in Composition Studies." The statement asks that teacher-scholars cite student work-written or spoken-"without including the students' names or identifying information unless they have the students' permission to identify them." The default for students is anonymity, presumably because students need to be protected. [Reference] WORKS CITED Barthes, Roland. "The Death of the Author." Image, Music, Text. Trans. Stephen Heath.

The paper was written by Mike Sosteric in 1999, hence before either (1) the Open Access (OA) era or (2) the potential of OA "cybermetrics" had as yet come into focus. The paper is focussed more on pedagogy than on research progress and productivity (and speaks of "cybernetics" rather than "cybermetics"). It includes some reasonable rants against the increasingly "corporate" tendencies of Academe, and against regression on the mean by mechanically rewarding mediocrity. But the paper does not yet seem to see beyond one-dimensional citation counts to the vast, rich new world of research performance metrics that the OA age is in reality opening up. (I suspect that Mike Sosteric has since updated his views.) OA metrics, like all metrics -- e.g., psychometrics, in human aptitude and performance testing; biometrics in human clinical medicine, epidemiology, and forensic research and applications. etc. -- need to be empirically tested for their reliability and validity in measuring and predicting what we want to measure and predict, but they are surely no more of a curse than either numbers or words or data are, in trying to make sense of things.

The primary medium of communication in the profession is the peer-reviewed article. This, our stock in trade, has a ritual format with strong historical roots. Once more diverse, the language of published articles is now 85 percent English, or an approximation thereto. Declining mastery of language aside, it's probably okay for most papers to be written in a bare style, for the vast majority of more than 500,000 articles published in chemistry and related fields last year is highly specialized (and routine) science. I do wonder about the collective effect of so much stylistically undistinguished writing. Is more harm done by selling lesser science through good style (I'm not talking about hype), or by poor writing pulling down sound science?

Also you may try to get citing information from other journals using SSCI or Scopus. The fact that your journal is not indexed in these databases does not prohibit other sources to cite it and you to find these citations. Hope this helps.

One indicator of scientific production in a given area is the analysis of publications included in bibliographic databases. Scientific production on alcohol and drug misuse was analysed in EU member countries, and comparisons were made between countries. Methods Analysis of articles on alcohol and drug misuse published during the period 1976-2000 by institutions based in a country of the EU, indexed by PsycINFO. Results A total of 4825 citations was retrieved. Great Britain published 38.6%, while Sweden, Germany and Spain accounted for a further 30%. The articles dealt with drug and alcohol usage (12.8%), substance abuse (53.5%) and drug and alcohol rehabilitation (34.5%). The articles were published in 13 different languages, more than three-quarters being in English. Spanish was the second language, and was followed by French, German, Dutch and Italian. The articles were published in 521 different journals, and 62 of these published more than 10 articles. The journals publishing most were Addiction, Alcohol and Alcoholism and Drug and Alcohol Dependence. Sixty-eight per cent of the articles were signed by more than one author, and the index of collaboration, between 1996 and 2000, was 3.24. Discussions and conclusions PsycINFO is useful for making comparisons between countries, because it includes the name and country of the institution. The number of publications in the EU on alcohol and drug misuse increased over the quarter-century analysed. The most used language was English, as it also is for PsycINFO as a whole, and a tendency towards its increased use was observed. Classification of the articles by subject by the Classification Code is too general, and makes it difficult to distinguish between the areas it proposes. Production tends to be concentrated in journals dealing specifically with drug dependence and psychiatry. The index of collaboration is similar to that found in other scientific areas.

Figg : wdfigg at helix.nih.gov Title: Scientific collaboration results in higher citation rates of published articles Author(s): Figg WD, Dunn L, Liewehr DJ, Steinberg SM, Thurman PW, Barrett JC, Birkinshaw J Source: PHARMACOTHERAPY 26 (6): 759-767 JUN 2006 Document Type: Article Language: English Cited References: 19 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: Study Objective. The primary objective was to analyze the relationship between the citation rate of an article and the extent of collaboration. The secondary objective was to analyze the relationship between the number of authors/article and the number of institutions/article for the period of study Methods. We counted the number of original research articles published in six leading journals-Cell, Science, Nature, New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and Journal of the American Medical Association-for the years 1975, 1985, and 1995. For each article, we determined the number of authors and the number of separate institutions. We also determined the number of times each article that was published in 1995 was cited in future scientific articles from the Science Citation Index database. Results. Science, Cell, Nature, New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and Journal of the American Medical Association had 2014, 868, 3856, 643, 785, and 465 total articles published/3-year study period, respectively. There was a median of 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, and 3 institutions/article, respectively All of the final models had a significant linear author component for which all of the parameter estimates were positive, yet variable. Thus, the number of times an article was cited correlated significantly with the number of authors and the number of institutions. Conclusion. A correlation exists between the number of authors and the number of times an article is cited in other articles. investigators who are open to collaborations and those who seem to adequately manage those collaborations produce a superior product that results in a higher impact.

All articles that cited Verbal Behavior between 1984 and 2004 were recorded and content analyzed into one of five categories; four empirical and one nonempirical. Of the empirical categories, studies that employed a verbal operant from Skinner's analysis were assigned to either basic, applied, or observational categories. Empirical studies that did not employ a verbal operant were categorized as other-empirical. The total number of citations remained stable across the review period and averaged just over 52 per year. Of these, 80% were from nonempirical articles, 13.7% were from other-empirical articles, 4% were from applied articles, 1.4% were from basic articles, and 0.9% were from observational articles. An "obliteration" analysis was also conducted to identify articles that employed Skinner's verbal operant terms but did not cite Verbal Behavior. This analysis identified 44 additional articles, suggesting that a degree of obliteration had occurred in the half century since the publication of Verbal Behavior. In particular, the analysis suggests that the verbal operant of manding has sufficient presence in the applied empirical literature to render citation of Verbal Behavior redundant. Overall, Verbal Behavior continues to make an important contribution to the psychological literature. Author Keywords: citation analysis; obliteration; B. F.

S, 2006 Document Type: Editorial Material Language: English Cited References: 29 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: In "How to Collaborate," Paul Thagard tries to explain why there is so much collaboration in science, and so little collaboration in philosophy, by giving an epistemic cost-benefit analysis. In this paper, I argue that an adequate explanation requires a more fully developed epistemic value theory than Thagard utilizes. In addition, I offer an alternative to Thagard's explanation of the lack of collaboration in philosophy. He appeals to its lack of a tradition of collaboration and to the a priori nature of much philosophical research. I claim that philosophers rarely collaborate simply because they can usually get the benefits without paying the costs of actually collaborating.

This possibility is illustrated by examining three issues. First, what determines a scientific discipline's placement in a hypothesized hierarchy of the sciences? This was addressed in an analysis of the characteristics that distinguish various disciplines, including attributes bearing an explicit connection to the role of theory. Second, what individual research programs are most likely to have a long-term impact on a scientific discipline? This was examined by looking at how thematic organization and theoretical orientation influence a scientist's disciplinary visibility. Third, what are the features of scientific publications that render some more successful in terms of long-term influence? This question was addressed by examining how theoretical content determines the impact of journal articles.

This paper focuses on self-citation in archaeology and systematically analyzes the factors that affect rates of self-citation. Self-citation rates in archaeology are significantly higher than in socio-cultural anthropology but are average for a social science with interdisciplinary ties to the physical sciences. Self-citation correlates weakly with the gender of the citing author and the geographic and thematic focus of research, but correlates strongly with the age of the author. Additional analyses reveal partial evidence for the use of self-citation as a prestige tactic. The paper concludes with a discussion of citations to writers close to the author (mentors, friends).

These measures are first analyzed for the entire set of 7,379 journals included in the Journal Citation Reports of the Science Citation Index and the Social Science Citation Index 2004, and then also in relation to local citation environments which can be considered as proxies of specialties and disciplines. Betweenness centrality is shown to be an indicator of the interdisciplinarity of journals, but only in local citation environments and after normalization because otherwise the influence of degree centrality overshadows the betweenness-centrality measure. The indicator is applied to a variety of citation environments, including policy-relevant ones like biotechnology and nanotechnology. The values of the indicator remain sensitive to the delineations of the set because of the indicator's local character. Maps showing interdisciplinarity of journals in terms of betweenness centrality can be drawn using information about journal citation environments which is available online. *** apologies for cross-postings _____ Loet Leydesdorff Amsterdam School of Communications Research (ASCoR) Kloveniersburgwal 48, 1012 CX Amsterdam Tel.: +31-20- 525 6598; fax: +31-20- 525 3681 loet at leydesdorff.net ; http://www.leydesdorff.net/ The Knowledge-Based Economy: Modeled, Measured, Simulated The Self-Organization of the Knowledge-Based Society; The Challenge of Scientometrics -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Co- citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting: on the one hand, the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors, and on the other hand, a simplified approach to all-author co-citation counting that takes into account the first five authors of a cited work. Results indicate that the picture produced through this simplified all-author co- citation counting contains author groups that are more coherent, and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed. Variations of counting more than first authors are compared. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. EXCERPT FROM PAPER : 'CONCLUSION: We have examined one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) that has rarely been touched since its introduction in 1981, how the way that the co-citation counts are defined which provide the raw data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based. A comparison between first-author and all-author co-citation analyses of the XML research field has indicated that an all-author co-citation analysis, which takes into account more links between related authors, results in a considerably clearer picture of the intellectual structure of a research field than the classic first-author co-citation analysis. Although the same number of authors selected by citedness when counting all authors tends to represent fewer specialties than counting only first authors, this should not be a problem if future studies can confirm that including a larger number of authors in the analysis will increase the number of specialties identified. Some techniques and software programs such as Pathfinder networks (PFNETs) certainly would allow this. For example, it has been reported that PFNETs when applied to ACA allow about 200 author names to be apped, and that they have shown considerable advantages for ACA (White, 2003). When counting all authors in ACA studies, the question of how to define co- citation needs to be answered. If we simply modify the traditional definition by defining an author's oeuvre as all works with this author as one rather than as the first of the authors of each of these works, two authors could also be considered as being co-cited when a paper co- authored by them is cited. We have presented a preliminary comparison between the ACA results from this inclusive way of counting all-author co- citations and those from excluding cited co-authorship from co-citation counts. The result was in favor of exclusive co-citation counts in the study of intellectual structures on the one hand, but it revealed the potential of inclusive co-citation counts in the study of social relationships in ACA on the other. ACA has been shown to be a powerful approach to the study of scholarly communication. However, since collecting co-citation counts in the print world is nearly impossible without the aid of citation indexes, ACA studies have been relying heavily on the ISI databases, and consequently have been limited to first-author co-citation. As full-text scholarly publications and tools for searching them are becoming increasingly available on the Web, there are now alternatives to the ISI databases for collecting co-citation data, allowing us to go beyond first-author co- citation towards all-author co-citation. As the present study shows by example, this provides us with a clearer picture of scholarly communication patterns, and with a way to exploit the full potential of ACA in the study of both intellectual structures of research fields and social relationships of scholarly communities. We are confident that future ACA studies will take advantage of emerging data sources and tools, and will combine recent advanced information visualization techniques with various co-citation counting methods to produce even more interesting and revealing ACA results."

An attempt has been made to identify a suitable model to describe a distribution of impact factors. It has been observed that a Gamma distribution fits the observed data very well with one of the parameters as mean of the distribution and other parameter as I. Further it has been observed that the researchers are now publishing their articles in high impact factor journals. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Via an analysis of Medical Subject Headings used to index relevant literature and other bibliometric techniques, cancer IS are compared and contrasted with IS of other specialties. Cancer IS are relatively little discussed and primarily connect radiation equipment with the radiation oncology staff. By contrast, clinical laboratory and radiology IS are frequently discussed and connect specialized equipment to the hospital. A "Specialty Need" model accounts for these patterns and says that the "need for a specialty IS" is proportional to the "uniqueness of the specialty tools" plus the "degree to which the information from those tools is needed throughout the particular health care entity."

Journal's productivity of 100 most productive semiconductor journals was gathered from INSPEC database, 1978-1997 through OVID. Data of citation frequency were obtained from the Science Citation Index (SCI), Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2001 CDROM edition by the title-by-title search. The self-citing and self-cited data were drawn from the Citing Journal Listing and the Cited Journal Listing of the JCR CDROM version 1990-2001. Self-citing and self-cited rates were determined by the method suggested by the JCR. Eighty-seven journals common to INSPEC and JCR in semiconductor were selected as the object of this study and were listed for statistical tests. The results of the present study demonstrate that high self-citing journals are usually older than low self-citing journals. In contrast to the self-citing data, the journal self-cited rate is not closely related to the publication year but reflects the characteristics of various journals. Journals with a short time interval of publication are more possible with high self-citing and self-cited rates. Journals with higher self-citing rate tend to be more productive and receive more citation than journals with lower self-citing rate. The journal self-cited rate has no association with the number of articles that a journal published and the citation it received. A journal with a higher self-citing rate tends to be cited more by itself. The mean self-citing rate is 9.59% and the mean self-cited rate is 15.03%. There is a significant difference between self-citing and self-cited rates within the same set of journals. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A longitudinal citation context analysis of Frederick Brooks' The Mythical Man-Month Author(s): McCain KW, Salvucci LJ Source: JOURNAL OF INFORMATION SCIENCE 32 (3): 277-295 2006 Document Type: Article Language: English Cited References: 56 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: Citation context analysis is used to demonstrate the diversity of concept symbols that a book-length publication can represent and the diffusion of influence of these concepts over time and across scholarly disciplines. A content analysis of 574 citation contexts from 497 journal articles citing an edition of Frederick P. Brooks, Jr's The Mythical Man-Month (MMM) over the period 1975-1999 showed that MMM represents a variety of different concepts and is cited in a wide range of subject areas. Over time, a high level of interest in MMM spread from software engineering and computer science to management and information systems, with different areas showing different patterns of focus on concepts within the work. 'Brooks' Law' (the 'mythical man-month' or 'adding more people to a late project makes it later'), accounted for less than 30% of the classified citation contexts. The findings contribute to our understanding of the diffusion of ideas in scholarly communication, and the diversity that can underlie the creation of a reference in a scholarly publication.
