Author(s): Burrell QL Source: SCIENTOMETRICS 65 (3): 381-389 DEC 2005 Document Type: Article Language: English Cited References: 13 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: A paper that is little cited ('sleeps') for a long period of time and then becomes much cited ('is awakened'), has been termed by van Raan (2004) a 'Sleeping Beauty', or a paper that was 'ahead of its time'. The inference is that the importance of the paper was not initially recognised, only later was it (re)discovered. On the other hand, much theoretical work in informetrics views the citation process as being purely random - modelled by an appropriate stochastic process. From this point of view, the 'awakening' could simply be a matter of chance without necessarily saying anything about the worth of the paper. The question therefore arises as to whether such awakenings can be explained or expected purely by the random nature of the model or whether they are so unlikely that an alternative explanation should be sought. In this note we express the notion of a Sleeping Beauty in terms of a well-known stochastic model and seek to answer this question, at least in general terms.

Firstly, that moderately aroused Sleeping Beauties might very well be expected, assuming that the basic model and suggested parameter values are appropriate in the context of the application. On the other hand we have failed to demonstrate that outrageous Sleeping Beauties - those lying dormant for a long period but then bursting into hyperactive life! - might be expected. Why might that be? The first reason is that the assumed parametric model is incorrect and we would acknowledge that we have pushed it far beyond its originally proposed purpose – from a relatively small, well-defined, and homogeneous set of papers to the very large multidisciplinary collection analysed by van Raan. The other, and perhaps more intuitively satisfying, obvious reason is that these examples are indeed special and in some way "before their time". In statistical parlance, these extreme examples would be termed ‘outliers’ and in a proper analysis they would not be excluded or ignored; rather one would seek to explain their occurrence by going beyond the model. By this we mean going back to the original data, identifying the actual source – in this case the cited paper and looking at the wider context to see why this particular observation has occurred. This is what has been done by GL?NZEL et al. (2003). Thus we would argue that informetrics/scientometrics is not just a matter of mathematical/statistical modelling (or analysis) but should always be directly addressed at a particular problem by taking full account of its context.

A widely used measure of journal "quality" is its impact factor; which describes the citation rate of its publications. We investigated the relationship between impact factor for eight anaesthesia journals and publication type with respect to their level of evidence 1-4 using Spearman rank correlation (rho). There were 1418 original publications during 2001 included in the analysis. The number (%) of publication types according to evidence-based medicine level were: level 1: 6 (0.4%), level 2: 533 (38%) level 3: 329 (23%), level 4:550 (39%). There was no correlation between journal ranking according to impact factor and publication type (rho = -0. 03, P = 0.25). The correlation between journal rank and the proportion of publications that were randomized trials was -0.35 (P < 0.001). The correlation between journal rank and number of publications was 0.65 (P < 0.007). The con-elation between journal rank and number of level I or 2 studies was 0.58 (P < 0.001). The overall level of evidence published in anaesthesia journals was high. Journal rank according to impact factor is related to the number of publications, but not the proportion of publications that are evidence- based medicine level 1 or 2.

The goal is to improve the method used to evaluate the raw electronic download figure. The proposed model will still undercount total use, but the undercounting will be proportional across disciplines and less severe. By using this model, librarians can avoid making cancellation decisions that may cost their libraries more money in the long run.

Sommese : sommese at nd.edu EXCERPT FROM FINAL REMARKS : .... No model is perfect, but the half-life model fits the citation data surprisingly well. The goal was to improve the method used to evaluate the raw download figures. Indeed, the proposed model will still undercount the same areas that the raw download figures undercount, but the undercounting will be proportional across disciplines and less severe. It is important when evaluating whether approximations are "acceptable" to keep the goal in mind. The goal is a reduction in undercounting, and undercounting is much more severe for long half-life journals with short electronic runs available. For example, look at a journal with a very long half-life, Mathematische Annalen. According to JCR, this respected mathematics journal has a haIf- life of > 10 years with an electronic run of nine years. The ISI database does not give the exact half-life; however, only 24.2 percent of citations are from articles published between 1994 and 2003. Using Ieast-squares minimization, the "ISI half-life" is 23.2 years. Math Ann. moves from a $46 CPU in table 4 to a $23 CPU in tabIe 5 and to a $17 CPU in table 6. As time passes, the electronic runs of journals will increase, and there will be sufficient year-to-year raw download figures to make reasonable extrapolations. Thus, the model for adjusting downloads that this article proposes will become less urgent.

This paper looks at the integration of data mining in digital library services. First, bibliomining, or the combination of bibliometrics and data mining techniques to understand library services, is defined and the concept explored. Second, the conceptual frameworks for bibliomining from the viewpoint of the library decision-maker and the library researcher are presented and compared. Finally, a research agenda to resolve many of the common bibliomining issues and to move the field forward in a mindful manner is developed. The result is not only a roadmap for understanding the integration of data mining in digital library services, but also a template for other cross-discipline data mining researchers to follow for systematic exploration in their own subject domains.

The specific objectives of the study are the following: a) to know the place of Spanish universities in the Academic Ranking of World Universities; b) to explore the relation between the international criteria used in the Academic Ranking of World Universities and several Spanish criteria, such as "tramos de investigacion", number of doctoral programmes with special mention of quality and the scientific productivity measured through numbers of doctoral theses; c) to analyse the relation between the proportion of professors in the Spanish universities (<< Profesores Titulares de Universidad -PTU >> and << CatedrAticos de Universidad -CU >>) and the percentage of "eminence of the research career >>. To reach these objectives, a descriptive study based on the analysis of documents was carried out. The data were supplied by different institutions: the "Academic Ranking of World Universities", the << National Agency of Quality Assessment >> and the << Consejo de Coordinacion Universitaria >>. The results show that Spain is the twelfth country with higher number of universities according to the International Ranking. Also, it is found that the international scientific productivity criteria are closely related to the national productivity criteria. Lastly, a significant correlation between the proportion of PTU/CU professors and the academic productivity has been found, showing that the universities with a higher proportion of CU professors have a lower scientific productivity according to the measure of << eminence of the research career >> and vice versa.

For journals which belong to the overlap (e.g., Scientometrics), the merger mainly enriches our insight into the structure which can be obtained from the two databases separately; but in the case of scientific journals which are more marginal in either database, the combination can provide a new perspective on the position and function of these journals (e.g., Environment and Planning B-Planning and Design). The combined database additionally enables us to map citation environments in terms of the various specialties comprehensively. Using the vector-space model, visualizations are provided for specialties that are parts of the overlap (information science, science & technology studies). On the basis of the resulting visualizations, "betweenness"-a measure from social network analysis-is suggested as an indicator for measuring the interdisciplinarity of journals. ** 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, and Simulated The Self-Organization of the Knowledge-Based Society; The Challenge of Scientometrics -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Contents: Create "A large web presence is made possible only with the effort of a large group of authors. The best way to do that is allowing a large proportion of staff, researchers or graduate students to be potential authors. A distributed system of authoring can be operative at several levels: Central organisation can be responsible of the design guidelines and institutional information Libraries, documentation centres and similar services can be responsible of large databases, including bibliographic ones but also large repositories (thesis, pre-prints, and reports) Individual persons or teams should maintain their own websites, enriching them with self archiving practices. Hosting external resources can be interesting for third parties and increase the visibility: Conference websites, software repositories, scientific societies and their publications, especially electronic journals." ------------------------------- I am not sure that an individual institution would be well-advised to develop all these paths simultaneously, but all suggestions should be kept in mind when looking for support. Personally, I think it wisest to begin with an archive for OA papers, which is so simple, so cheap, and sure of an immediate effect. But if support can best be gotten though additional uses, I wouldn't turn it down. If the proposed project seems too large and difficult, perhaps the best strategy is to accept the support and join in, but start by providing a separate simple OA site as a possible pilot.

If you request, I can e-mail to you a PDF version or the article. Rajko Igic J. H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County Chicago, IL 60612 Igic R. War and scientific output moving beyond war. J BUON (Journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology) 2005; 10: 495-497. The articles published in English from 1987 to 2003 in journals indexed in the Science Citation Index were retrieved for the two cities from the former Yugoslavia: Sarajevo, affected by the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B & H) from 1992 to1995, and Novi Sad, Serbia, hurt by the economic sanctions (imposed in 1992 and lifted in 2001) and by the 78-day NATO bombing in 1999. Istanbul, Turkey and Ljubljana, Slovenia were used as controls. In 1987, Sarajevo, Novi Sad, Ljubljana, and Istanbul produced 25, 80, 321, and 133 articles, respectively. Sixteen years later, these cities produced 31, 140, 1,548, and 2,188 articles, respectively. Thus, in 2003, Sarajevo, Novi Sad, Ljubljana, and Istanbul produced 1.2, 1.7, 4.9, and 16.4 times more articles, respectively, than in 1987. During the prewar period, the annual scientific output from Novi Sad and Sarajevo gradually increased, but the output from Sarajevo declined sharply to 11 articles in 1995. The output from Novi Sad also dropped in 1994 and 1995. A modest increase in output from these two cities followed during the postwar period. The scientific output from Sarajevo has recovered very slowly. The scientific production in B&H and in Serbia was affected not only by the devastated economy, damaged communications, and the hardship of everyday life during the war and postwar years, but also by the exodus of many top scientists and by the lack of outside support. In Turkey and Slovenia, as in many countries, scientists are under constant pressure to publish. This pressure forces some scientists to sacrifice quality for quantity. Even so, the pressure to publish is a stimulus that motivates research activity. However, an increase of scientific output generally follows national income, research budgets, academic staffs, and international scientific communication. Devastated countries cannot afford to finance many scientists, as research is a rather expensive enterprise. Therefore, in war-torn countries, those who are responsible for financing science should select the most promising researchers, preferably trained in developed countries. Also, because we are one intellectual community, researchers from other countries should continue to survey scientific activity in the areas affected by war and help restore and upgrade research and publication. Scientists in the international community can aid their colleagues in the damaged areas by maintaining communication, establishing collaborative ventures, and offering exchange programs and advice As Eugene Garfield stated, supporting scientist-colleagues in such countries is in our best interest. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

In this short Letter, we propose and study a new evolving network model. The model is based on the new concept of neighbourhood connectivity, which exists in many physical complex networks. The statistical properties and dynamics of the proposed model is analytically studied and compared with those of Barabasi-Albert scale-free model. Numerical simulations indicate that this network model yields a transition between power-law and exponential scaling, while the Barabasi-Albert scale-free model is only one of its special (limiting) cases. Particularly, this model can be used to enhance the evolving mechanism of complex networks in the real world, such as some social networks development. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Go to ROAR http://archives.eprints.org/ In the pull down menu "Any content type" select: "Research Institutional or Departmental" Then just pull down the "Any Geographic Country" Menu and read off the numbers for each country (holding your finger down). You can also rank-order the output by the size of the archive; and you can get individual or joint growth charts for archives and archive-contents. ROAR has many powerful analytic capabilities. It's worth taking a few moments to explore them. As I've said before, richly informative articles could be written based simply on the wealth of current data and analyses automatically provided by ROAR, with just a few well-chosen keystrokes.

Like a cancer, it destroys the normal functions of the society, spreads rapidly leaving destruction in its wake, and is the most serious threat to millions of lives. The effect of war on scientific output may also be huge. It can be precisely measured by changes in the number of papers from affected areas published in the peer-reviewed scientific journals indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) [2]. We have recently shown that the scientific output from a country at war in its own territory was drastically reduced [3,4]. These data parallel the human tragedies as well. The purpose of this study was to assess the damage of the civil war, the United Nations (UN) sanctions, and NATO military interventions during the forceful disintegration of the former Yugoslavia on scientific output as measured by changes in the number of publications indexed in the SCI from two of the cities that were affected, Sarajevo and Novi Sad. Also, this study set out to follow a recovery of such damage in the postwar period. Methods and Results The articles published in English from 1987 to 2003 in journals indexed in the SCI were retrieved for the two cities from the former Yugoslavia: Sarajevo, affected by the civil war in Bosnia & Herzegovina (B&E) from 1992 to1995, and Novi Sad, hurt by the economic sanctions (imposed in 1992 and lifted in 2001) and by the 78-day NATO bombing in 1999. Istanbul, Turkey and Ljubljana, Slovenia were used as controls. In 1987, Sarajevo, Novi Sad, Serbia, Ljubljana, and Istanbul produced 25, 80, 321, and 133 articles, respectively. Sixteen years later, these cities produced 31, 140, 1,548, and 2,188 articles, respectively. Thus, in 2003, Sarajevo, Novi Sad, Ljubljana, and Istanbul produced 1.2, 1.7, 4.9, and 16.4 times more articles, respectively, than in 1987. During the prewar period, the annual scientific output from Novi Sad and Sarajevo gradually increased, but the output from Sarajevo declined sharply to 11 articles in 1995. The output from Novi Sad also dropped in 1994 and 1995. A modest increase in output from these two cities followed during the postwar period (Figure 1). The scientific output from Sarajevo has recovered very slowly. Discussion The scientific output from Sarajevo and Novi Sad was reduced during the war, and its postwar production increase was far behind the control cities. Before the war, scientific research in the former Yugoslavia was pursued vigorously, especially in the oldest and well-established universities of Belgrade, Zagreb, and Ljubljana [3]. Historically, the various republics of the former Yugoslavia had had an unequal distribution of scientific institutions among them. To rectify this inequality, the former Yugoslavia had opened many new universities, so that before the civil war the country had as many as 18 universities among its various republics. Their distribution was proportional to the population in the 6 republics of the former Yugoslavia. Thus, Serbia had 5 universities, Croatia and B&H each had 4, Slovenia and Macedonia each had 2, and Montenegro 1. In the late 1980s, Serbia produced more than 900 scientific articles per year and was well ahead, with twice as many publications as Slovenia. The number of publications from Croatia fell between that of Serbia and Slovenia [3]. The outputs from B&H and the remaining republics had a relatively small scientific presence. Thus, the output from B&H in 1991 was 50 articles, and more than half of them originated from the University of Sarajevo and from non-university institutions from Sarajevo. Although the scientific output from the majority of the new universities was modest, some of them, such as the University of Novi Sad, significantly increased their yearly scientific production that before the war reached about 100 articles per year. The war suppressed the scientific vitality mainly in Serbia and B&H. These former Yugoslav republics were not as scientifically productive in the postwar period as Slovenia [4], the state that was only peripherally involved in the civil war. The scientific production in B&H and in Serbia was affected not only by the devastated economy, damaged communications, and the hardship of everyday life during the war and postwar years, but also by the exodus of many top scientists and by the lack of outside support [5]. Using a ?Salton Index? [6] to calculate the amount of international co-authorship between scientists from Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia from 1986 to 1995 as well as between each of these and 5 western countries (Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, and the USA), we determined that Serbia seems to be scientifically relatively isolated from 1992, when the UN sanctions to this state were imposed [3] to the present (although these sanctions were officially lifted, some of the restrictions still remain). In Turkey, as in many countries, scientists are under constant pressure to publish. This pressure forces some scientists to sacrifice quality for quantity [7]. Even so, the pressure to publish is a stimulus that motivates research activity. However, an increase of scientific output generally follows national income, research budgets, academic staffs, and international scientific communication. Devastated countries cannot afford to finance many scientists, as research is a rather expensive enterprise. Therefore, in war-torn countries, those who are responsible for financing science should select the most promising researchers, preferably trained in developed countries [8]. Also, because we are one intellectual community [9], researchers from other countries should continue to survey scientific activity in the areas affected by war and help restore and upgrade research and publication. Scientists in the international community can aid their colleagues in the damaged areas by maintaining communication, establishing collaborative ventures, and offering exchange programs and advice. In addition, gifts of scientific books and journals as well as equipment and supplies would be welcome. As Eugene Garfield stated [9], ?Supporting scientist-colleagues in such countries is in our best interest?. To protect society, man must solve the problems relating to huge differences in development, distribution of power, and natural wealth. The international community under the auspices of the UN has to find a way to carry out this obligation. Scientists and other scholars can force politicians, soldiers, and diverse public workers to work toward peace and prevention of war. Because war is a medical problem, medical doctors have a special opportunity and obligation to fight for peace. By engaging people?s attention to questions and possibilities that transcend all national, religious, economic, and social differences and by providing hope for a better future, medicine could be a powerful instrument for concord. Gathering medical professionals from various countries to give their opinion on this important topic, the prevention of war and other war- related major threats to the health of global society, could be the basis for the permanent preventive activities of our profession. Perhaps Athens, due to its role in origin of Western civilization, could be the best place for such gatherings that may produce a significant contribution to modern human-rights movement that was born from the devastation of World War II. The Declaration of Human Rights that emerged after the large scale tragedy was signed in liberated Paris, but it has mainly remained as an empty gesture. Thus, it is the challenge for this Century to make the Declaration reality [10] and violence of all kinds preventable [11].

Unlike previous work on the diffusion of theories as innovations, this theory functions model differs in several important respects from the findings of previous studies that employed Everett Rogers's classic typology of "innovation characteristics that promote diffusion." The model is also presented as a contribution to a more integrated theory of citation.

The work makes substantial theoretical and methodological contributions to progressive knowledge domain visualization. A specialty is conceptualized and visualized as a time-variant duality between two fundamental concepts in information science: research fronts and intellectual bases. A research front is defined as an emergent and transient grouping of concepts and underlying research issues. The intellectual base of a research front is its citation and co-citation footprint in scientific literature an evolving network of scientific publications cited by research-front concepts. Kleinberg's (2002) burst detection algorithm is adapted to identify emergent research-front concepts. Freeman's (1979) betweenness centrality metric is used to highlight potential pivotal points of paradigm shift over time. Two complementary visualization views are designed and implemented: cluster views and time-zone views. The contributions of the approach are that (a) the nature of an intellectual base is algorithmically and temporally identified by emergent research-front terms, (b) the value of a co-citation cluster is explicitly interpreted in terms of research-front concepts, and (c) visually prominent and algorithmically detected pivotal points substantially reduce the complexity of a visualized network. The modeling and visualization process is implemented in CiteSpace II, a Java application, and applied to the analysis of two research fields: mass extinction (1981-2004) and terrorism (1990-2003). Prominent trends and pivotal points in visualized networks were verified in collaboration with domain experts, who are the authors of pivotal-point articles. Practical implications of the work are discussed. A number of challenges and opportunities for future studies are identified.

We focus on the distribution functions of a coherent set of indicators that are used frequently in the analysis of research performance. In this sense, the coherent set of indicators acts as a measuring instrument. Better insight into the statistical properties of a measuring instrument is necessary to enable assessment of the instrument itself. The most basic distribution in bibliometric analysis is the distribution of citations over publications, and this distribution is very skewed. Nevertheless, we clearly observe the working of the central limit theorem and find that at the level of research groups the distribution functions of the main indicators, particularly the journal-normalized and the field-normalized indicators, approach normal distributions. The results of our study underline the importance of the idea of "group oeuvre," that is, the role of sets of related publications as a unit of analysis.
