Therefore, determining the nature of the exact relationship between a citing and cited paper requires an understanding of the rhetorical relations within the argumentative context in which a citation is placed. To determine these relations automatically in scientific writing, we have suggested that stylistic and rhetorical cues will be significant. One type of cue that we have studied is the discourse cue, which provides cohesion among textual components. Another form of rhetorical cue involves hedging to modify the affect of a scientific claim. Hedging in scientific writing has been extensively studied by Hyland, including cataloging the pragmatic functions of the various types of cues. In this paper we show that the hedging cues proposed by Hyland occur more frequently in citation contexts than in the text as a whole. With this information we conjecture that hedging cues are an important aspect of the rhetorical relations found in citation contexts and that the pragmatics of hedges may help in determining the purpose of citations.

Customarily, authors include citations in their papers to indicate works that axe foundational in their field, background for their own work, or representative of complementary or contradictory research. But, determining the nature of the exact relationship between a citing and cited paper is often difficult to ascertain. To address this problem, the aim of formal citation analysis has been to categorize and, ultimately, automatically classify scientific citations. In previous work, Garzone and Mercer (2000) presented a system for citation classification that relied on characteristic syntactic structure to determine citation category. In this present work, we extend this idea to propose that fine-grained cue phrases within citation sentences may provide a stylistic basis for just such a categorization.

Citation analysis is the methodology commonly used to determine such research patterns. In this study, the citation methodology is applied to one of the top-ranked Information Systems conferences-international Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). Information is extracted from papers in the proceedings of ICIS 2000 to 2002. A total of 145 base articles and 4,226 citations are used. Research patterns are obtained using total citations, citations per journal or conference, and overlapping citations. We then provide the citation ranking of journals and conferences. We also examine the difference between the citation ranking in this study and the ranking of IS journals and IS conferences in other studies. Based on the comparison, we confirm that IS research is a multidisciplinary research area. We also identify the most cited papers and authors in the IS research area, and the organizations most active in producing papers in the top-rated IS conference. We discuss the findings and implications of the study.

A global perspective on the world science system in 2005 Loet Leydesdorff and Caroline Wagner Abstract Based on the Science Citation Index-Expanded web-version, the USA is still by far the strongest nation in terms of scientific performance. Its relative decline in percentage share of publications is largely due to the emergence of China and other Asian nations. In terms of citations, the competitive advantage of the American "domestic market" is diminished, while the European Union (EU) is profiting more from the enlargement of the database over time than the US. However, the USA is still outperforming all other countries in terms of highly cited papers and citation/publication ratios, and it is more successful than the EU in coordinating its research efforts in strategic priority areas like nanotechnology. In this field, the People's Republic of China (PRC) has become second largest in 2005 in both numbers of papers published and citations behind the USA.

They show that: (1) In astronomy, where all active, publishing researchers already have online access to all relevant journal articles (a very special case!), researchers all use the versions "eprinted" (self-archived) in Arxiv first, because those are available first; and they all switch to using the journal version, instead of the self-archived one, as soon as the journal version is available. That is interesting, but hardly surprising, in view of the very special conditions of astronomy: If I only had access to a self-archived preprint or postprint first, I'd used that, faute de mieux. And as soon as the official journal version was accessible -- assuming that it's equally accessible -- I'd use that. But these conditions -- (i) open accessibility of the eprint before publication, (ii) in one longstanding central repository (Arxiv), for many and in some cases most papers, and (iii) open accessibility of the journal version of all papers upon publication -- is simply not representative of most other fields! In most other fields, (i') only about 15% of papers are available early as preprints or postprints, (ii') they are self-archived in distributed IRs and websites, not one central one (Arxiv), and (iii') the journal versions of many papers are not accessible at all to many of the researchers after publication. That's a very different ball game. (2) Your data showing that astronomy journals are not cancelled despite 100% OA are very interesting, but they too follow almost tautologically from (1): If virtually all researchers have access to the journal version, and virtually all of them prefer to use that rather than the eprint, it stands to reason that it is not being cancelled! (What is cause and what is effect there is another question -- i.e., whether preference is driving subscriptions or subscriptions are driving preference.) (3) In astronomy, there is a small, closed circle of core journals, and all active researchers worldwide already have access. In many fields there is not a closed circle of core journals, and/or not all researchers have access. Hence access to a small set of core journals is not a precondition for being an active researcher in many fields -- which does not mean that lacking that access does not weaken the research (and that is the point!). (4) I agree completely that there is a component of self-selection Quality Bias (QB) in the correlation between self-archiving and citations. The question is (4a) how much of the higher citation count for self-archived articles is due to QA (as opposed to Early Advantage, Competitive Advantage, Quality Advantage, Usage Advantage, and Arxiv (Central) Bias)? And (4b) does self-selection QB itself have any causal consequences (or are authors doing it purely superstitiously, since it is has no causal effects at all)? The effects of course need not be felt in citations; they could be felt in downloads (usage) or in other measures of impact (co-citations, influence on research direction, funding, fame, etc.). The most important thing to bear in mind is that it would be absurd to imagine that somehow OA guarantees a quality-blind linear increment to the usage of any article, regardless of its quality. It is virtually certain that OA will benefit the better articles more, because they are more worth using and trying to build upon, hence more handicapped by access-barriers (which *do* exist in fields other than astro). That's QA, not QB. No amount of accessibility will help unciteable papers get used and cited. And most papers are uncited, hence probably unciteable! (5) I think we agree that the basic challenge in assessing causality here is that we have a positive correlation (between proportion of papers self-archived and citation-counts) but we need to analyze the direction of the causation. The fact that higher citation-count papers tend to be self-archived more, and lower citation-count papers less is merely a restatement of the correlation, not a causal analysis of it: Their citation counts come *after* the self-archiving, not before! The only methodologically irreproachable way to test causality would be to randomly choose a (sufficiently large, diverse, and representative) sample of N papers at the time of acceptance for publication (postprints -- no previous preprint self-archiving) and randomly *impose* self-archiving on N/2 of them, and not on the other N/2. That way we have random selection and not self-selection. Then we count citations for about 2-3 years, for all the papers, and compare them. No one will do that study, but an approximation to it can be done (and we are doing it) by comparing (a) citation counts for papers that are self-archived in IRs that have a self-archiving mandate with (b) citation counts for papers in IRs without mandates and with (c) papers (in the same journal and year) that are not self-archived. Not a perfect method, problems with small Ns, short available time-windows, and admixtures of self-selection and imposed self-archiving even with mandates -- but an approximation nonetheless. And other metrics -- downloads, co-citations, hub/authority scores, endogamy scores, growth-rates, funding, etc. -- can be used to triangulate and disambiguate. Stay tuned.

In astronomy -- where the core journals are few and a closed circle, and all active researchers have access to them. But this is not true of research as a whole, across disciplines (or around the world). Researchers in most fields are no doubt handicapped for having less than full access, but that does not prevent them from doing and publishing research altogether. > Any statistical analysis of the causal/bias distinction must take into > account the actual distribution of citations among articles.

(1) Since all of the published postprints in all these journals are accessible to all research-active astronomers as of their date of publication, we are of necessity speaking here mostly about an Early Access effect (preprints). Most of the other components of the Open Access Advantage (Competitive Advantage, Usage Advantage, Quality Advantage) are minimized here by the fact that everything in astronomy is OA from the date of publication onward. The remaining components are either Arxiv-specific (the Arxiv Bias -- the tradition of archiving and hence searching in one central repository) or self-selection [Quality Bias] influencing who does and does not self-archive *early*, with their prepublication preprint. Since most fields don't post preprints at all, this comparison is mostly moot. For most fields, the question about citation advantage concerns the postprint only, and as of the date of acceptance for publication, not before. (2) In other fields too, there is the same correlation between citation counts and percentage self-archived, but it is based on postprints, self-archived at publication, not pre-refereeing preprints self-archived much earlier. And, most important, it is not true in these fields that the postprint is accessible to all researchers via subscription: Many potential users cannot access the article at all if it is not self-archived -- and that is the main basis for the OA advantage. > Perhaps the journal which is most sensitive to cancellations due to OA > archiving is Nuclear Physics B; it is 100% in arXiv, and is very > expensive.

It is an interesting question whether NPB is being cancelled, but if it is, it clearly is not because of self-archiving, nor because of astronomy's special "universal paid OA" OA to the published version: if NPB is being cancelled, it is for the usual reason, which is that it is not good enough to justify its share of the institution's journal budget.

Besides our IPM article: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2005IPM....41.1395K we have recently published two short papers, both with graphs you might find interesting. The preprint will appear in Learned Publishing http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006cs........9126H E-prints and Journal Articles in Astronomy: a Productive Co-existence and this is in the J. Electronic Publishing http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006JEPub...9....2H Effect of E-printing on Citation Rates in Astronomy and Physics There is a point I would like to emphasize from these papers. Figure 2 of the Learned Publishing paper shows that the number of ADS users who read the preprint version once the paper has been released drops to near zero. This shows that essentially every astronomer has subscriptions to the main journals, as ADS treats both the arXiv links and the links to the journals equally; also it shows that astronomers prefer the journals. Figure 5 of the J Electronic Publishing paper also shows that there is no effect of cost on the OA reads (and thus by extension citation) differential. Note in the plot that there is no change in slope for the obsolescence function of the reads (either of preprinted or non-preprinted) at 36 months. At 36 months the 3 year moving wall allows the papers to be accessed by everyone, this shows clearly that there is no cost effect portion of the OA differential in astronomy. This confirms the conclusion of my IPM article. Now three comments: Citations are probably the least sensitive measure to see the effects of OA. This is because one must be able to read the core journals in order to write a paper which will be published by them. It is really not possible for a person who has not been regularly reading journal articles on, say, nuclear physics, to suddenly be able to write one, and cite the OA articles which enabled that writing. It takes some time for a body of authors who did not previously have access to form and write acceptable papers. Any statistical analysis of the causal/bias distinction must take into account the actual distribution of citations among articles. This is why I made the monte carlo analysis in the IPM paper. As a quick example for papers published in the Astrophysical Journal in 2003: The most cited 10% have 39% of all citations, and are 96% in the arXiv; the lowest cited 10% have 0.7% of all citations and are 29% in the arXiv. Showing the causal hypothesis is true will be very difficult under these conditions. Perhaps the journal which is most sensitive to cancellations due to OA archiving is Nuclear Physics B; it is 100% in arXiv, and is very expensive. I have several times seen librarians say that they would like to cancel it. One effect of OA on Nuclear Physics B is that its impact factor (as we measure it, I assume ISI gets the same thing) has gone up, just as we show in the J E Pub paper for Physical Review D. Whether Nuclear Physics B has been cancelled more than Nuclear Physics A or Physics Letters B must be well known at Elsevier. Best wishes to all, Michael -- Dr. Michael J.

Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] ------- U.N. Report: Sharp Rise In China Patents POSTED: 7:43 pm EDT October 15, 2006 UPDATED: 7:43 pm EDT October 15, 2006 GENEVA -- Patent filings in China increased by more than six times in a decade, helping the Asian country make a dramatic leap in catching up to the world leaders in patent activity, the U.N. agency that oversees intellectual property said Monday. More than 130,000 applications from Chinese and foreigners were filed with Beijing in 2004, the last year for which figures were available, the World Intellectual Property Organization said. That catapulted China into fifth place in the total number filed, behind Japan, the United States, the European Patent Office and South Korea. Over 65,000 of the applications were from Chinese, a six-fold jump from 1995, WIPO said. About the same number of foreign individuals and companies also applied in China, over seven times more than nine years earlier. Patent filings as a whole only grew at an average rate of 4.75 percent annually during this period, the U.N. agency said. "Patent statistics are increasingly recognized as useful indicators of inventive activity and of technology flows," WIPO said in a 43-page report. The Japanese continue to be the world's greatest patent filers, responsible for four in five of the nearly 450,000 applications in the country during 2004, according to WIPO. They also filed 137,800 with foreign offices, the most of any nationality. The U.S. came in second in applications received, with 403,050, and filings made by American-based inventors in foreign countries, which stood at 124,600. However, U.S. patent authorities received the highest number of applications from abroad, over 167,000, followed by the European office, China and Japan. WIPO said, however, that the distribution of patent filings worldwide "is changing over time, in particular as (South Korea) and China are becoming major industrial economies." "The use of the patent system is growing quickly in the northeast Asian region," the report said. The number of applications received in South Korea almost doubled between 1995 and 2004. Per capita, Koreans were the second most frequent to file for patent protection, behind the Japanese. Americans, Germans and Australians rounded out the top five. - Associated Press From j.s.katz at SUSSEX.AC.UK Mon Oct 16 13:33:08 2006 From: j.s.katz at SUSSEX.AC.UK (Sylvan Katz) Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 11:33:08 -0600 Subject: Web indicators for complex innovation systems Message-ID: Katz, J. S. and V. Cothey, 2006: Web Indicators for Complex Innovation Systems. Research Evaluation, 14, 85-95. The Web and innovation systems are interacting complex systems that impact each other. Web indicators used to inform decision-makers about the impact they are having on each must be reproducible and relevant. Web metrics research is young and best-practice methodologies for producing robust indicators are evolving. This study describes a methodology for producing robust indicators of the web presence of the European and Canadian innovation systems. It demonstrates that the emergent properties and scaling characteristics expected of complex systems are captured by these indicators. It illustrates how these indicators can be used to measure the amount of recognition a nation or province?s web presence receives from other nations and provinces in their innovation systems. Dr. J.

Iss. SI, AUG 2006 Document Type: Article Language: English Cited References: 68 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: Whilst their 'death' has often been certified, books remain highly important to most professions and academic disciplines. Analyses of citations received by epidemiologic texts may complement other views on epidemiology. The objective was to assess the number of citations received by some books of epidemiology and public health, as a first step towards studying the influence of epidemiological thought and thinking in academia. For this purpose, Institute for Scientific Information/Thomson Scientific - Web of Science/Web of Knowledgedatabase was consulted, in May 2006. The book by Rothman & Greenland appeared to have received the highest number of citations overall ( over 8,000) and per year. The books by Kleinbaum et al, and by Breslow & Day received around 5,000 citations. In terms of citations per year the book by Sackett et al ranks 3rd, and the one by Rose, 4th of those included in this preliminary study. Other books which were influential in the classrooms collected comparatively less citations. Results offer a rich picture of the academic influences and trends of epidemiologic methods and reasoning on public health, clinical medicine and the other health, life and social sciences. They may contribute to assess epidemiologists' efforts to demarcate epidemiology and to assert epistemic authority, and to analyze some historical influences of economic, social and political forces on epidemiological research.

Iss. SI, AUG 2006 Document Type: Article Language: Portuguese Cited References: 5 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To recognize the characteristics and path taken by the through analysis of the scientific production it has published over the period from 1967 to 2005. METHODS: Scientometric methods were used to analyze reference data on the articles published in the Revista, retrieved from the databases ISI/Thomson Scientific ( Web of Science), National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). RESULTS: The Revista is the only Brazilian publication in the field of public health that is indexed by ISI/Thomson Scientific. It is prominent as a medium for publishing Brazilian scientific production in public health and is displaying a geometric increase in publication and citation, with annual rates of 4.4% and 12.7%, respectively. The mean number of authors per paper has risen from 2 to 3.5 over recent years. Although original research articles predominate, the numbers of reviews, multicenter studies, clinical trials and validation studies have been increasing. The number of articles published in foreign languages has also increased, accounting for 13% of the total, and the leading countries originating these are the UK, USA, Argentina and Mexico. The number and diversity of journals citing the Journal has been increasing, many of which are non-Brazilian. Authorship per author shows good fit to Lotka's Law, but the parameters suggest greater concentration and less dispersion than would be expected. Among the fields of interest of published papers, the following topics account for more than 50% of the total volume: infectious-parasitic diseases and vectors; health promotion, policies and administration; and epidemiology, surveillance and disease control. CONCLUSIONS: The Revista shows great dynamism, without signs of abating or reaching a plateau any time soon. There are signs of progressively increasing complexity in the studies published, and more multidisciplinary work. The Revista seems to be widening its outreach and recognition, while remaining faithful to the field of public health in Brazil.

METHODS: Searches for publications were conducted in the MEDLINE and PsychInfo databases for the period 1999-2003. A semi-structured questionnaire developed by an international team was applied to 626 mental health researchers, covering each interviewee's educational background, research experience, access to funding sources, public impact and research priorities. The sample was composed by 626 mental health researchers identified from 792 publications indexed on MEDLINE and PsychInfo databases for the period above, and from a list of reviewers of Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria. RESULTS: In Brazil, 792 publications were produced by 525 authors between 1999 and 2003 ( 441 indexed in MEDLINE and 398 in the ISI database). The main topics were: depression (29.1%), substance misuse (14.6%), psychoses (10%), childhood disorders (7%) and dementia (6.7%). Among the 626 Brazilian mental health researchers, 329 answered the questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS: There were steadily increasing numbers of Brazilian articles on mental health published in foreign journals from 1999 to 2003: the number of articles in MEDLINE tripled and it doubled in the ISI database. The content of these articles corresponded to the priorities within mental health, but there is a need for better interlinking between researchers and mental health policymakers.

Although US institutions still lead in the international business research, non-US schools are making significant progress. Asian-Pacific and European schools are well represented among the schools that account for the most articles appearing in the four journals. International collaboration between scholars across the globe appears to enhance school ranking. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Following a tradition established at the 3rd Triple Helix Conference in Copenhagen, also the forthcoming meeting in Singapore will provide a platform for exchange and discussion for colleagues with an interest in developing new and improving established indicators in a number of areas especially related to the Triple Helix. These include the following: a.. Mapping Communication Processes in Science and Technology b.. The Dynamics of University-Industry-Government Relations c.. Indicators of Academic Entrepreneurship & Knowledge Exchange Relationships ('Third-stream indicators') d.. Measuring Organisational Change in the Entrepreneurial University e.. Tracing Inter-Disciplinarity & the Evolution of Boundary-Crossing Intellectual Spaces f.. Analyzing Science-Technology Interaction & University-Industry Collaboration g.. Measuring the Impact of Universities as Regional Innovation Organizers h.. Indicators for Understanding Triple Helix Relations in Emerging Economies & Developing Countries The analysis of bibliometric, patent, or webometric data can make important contributions to our understanding of these aspects of the Triple Helix. Additional insights can be gained from extending informetric analyses using other quantitative and also qualitative approaches. We welcome informetric and other quantitative contributions addressing the above issues. Also papers of a more qualitative nature are invited in so far they contribute towards a better understanding of indicators in this area, especially contributions that shed light on the use of S&T metrics in the policy arena and policy drivers in the development of indicators. We aim to publish a selection of contributions in a dedicated issue of a relevant journal. Contributions to earlier Indicators tracks in the conference series have been published in special issues of journals, such as 'Research Policy' and 'Scientometrics'. Papers that are to be presented will be selected on the basis of extended abstracts which should not be longer than 2 pages. The deadline for submission is January 8, 2007. Please submit abstracts online following this link: [http://www.nus.edu.sg/nec/TripleHelix6/callpaper.htm]. Please make sure to indicate that you wish to present your paper in the conference sub-theme '2. Indicators/Measurement of Triple Helix Linkages and Dynamics'.

Along with the widespread adoption of broadband residential access and the increasing demand of multimedia service over the Internet, we are now witnessing the emergence of a new class of popular P2P applications, namely, P2P audio and video streaming. Popular P2P video streaming applications have successfully demonstrated the support of thousands of concurrent peers per channel at bit rates in excess of 400 kbps. While traditional P2P file distribution applications are targeted for elastic data transfers, P2P streaming focuses on the efficient delivery of audio and video content under tight timing requirements. Still in its infancy, both live and on-demand P2P streaming present many research challenges. To date, a number of architectures have been suggested by using either the tree-based push approach (e.g., Narada and SplitStream) or the mesh-based pull approach (e.g., CoolStream) which basically divides the media content into blocks for trading among peers. Further improvements are possible by taking advantage of advanced source and channel coding techniques such as layered coding, multiple description codes, fountain codes, and network coding. Given the initial success of P2P live streaming, questions still remain about how to extend the existing peer-to-peer models for more advanced applications with more stringent requirements such as video-on-demand services and how to support live and on-demand streaming in the same P2P network. Furthermore, with the wide deployment of wireless networks (WLAN, ad hoc, and 3G networks) and various wireless backhaul technologies (wireless mesh networks and WiMax), there are still open research challenges on how to realize a large-scale P2P media streaming over highly dynamic wireless channels and with user mobility. This special issue solicits original state-of-the-art works addressing all aspects related to supporting peer-to-peer multimedia content distribution service from both theoretical and implementation aspects.

A follow-up case record review of subjects (N=175) in a recent experimental study provides the opportunity to revisit original survival estimates and compare them to estimates generated using nearly complete data. Results indicate that Kaplan-Meier median estimates of survival time and parameter estimates using Cox Proportional Hazards Regression were relatively accurate despite differential censoring between the treatment and control groups. Estimated mean averages tended to be inaccurate in the presence of substantial censoring. Implications for research and practice are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Faculty rankings based on raw citation counts are compared with those based on h-counts. There is a strong positive correlation between the two sets of rankings. It is shown how the h-index can be used to express the broad impact of a scholar's research output over time in more nuanced fashion than straight citation counts.

To make aggregated journal-journal citation networks based on the Journal Citation Reports 2004 of the Science Citation Index (5968 journals) and the Social Science Citation Index (1712 journals) accessible online from the perspective of any of these journals. The results are available at http://www.leydesdorff.net/jcr04 as input-files for the visualization program Pajek. The user is thus able to analyze the citation environment of a scientific journal, for example, in terms of core groups and peripheries. 2. To study the journal structure of communication studies as a discipline using the Journal of Communication as an example. Communication studies can be considered as a single field from the perspective of ?being cited,? but it is divided into two communities who reconstruct the field differently by making references. 3. To replace the notion of a global impact factor with that of a local impact factor relative to a journal?s citation environment. The local impact of a journal in its citation environment can be defined as its share of the total citations in this environments. The vertical size of the nodes is varied proportionally to this citation impact; the horizontal axis of each node will be used to provide the same information after correction for within-journal (self?)citations. _____ Loet Leydesdorff Amsterdam School of Communications Research (ASCoR) Kloveniersburgwal 48, 1012 CX Amsterdam loet at leydesdorff.net ; http://www.leydesdorff.net/ & Han Woo Park, YeungNam University, South Korea hanpark at ynu.ac.kr; http://www.hanpark.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hello folks, I am wondering if anyone out there knows of any papers that discuss bibliometric methods to measure 'consensus' of scientists on some knowledge claim in a scientific specialty. Given the importance of the perception of scientific consensus on political decisions, particularly on contentious "two opposing camps" type issues such as global warming or stem-cell research, I am wondering if there are any bibliometric studies that propose methods to objectively measure such consensus. I've seen Chaomei Chen's paper on 'opposing paradigms', which dealt with a controversy on mass dinosaur extinctions. Chen's method uses co-citation analysis and pathfinder maps to show growth and decline of citation rates to key papers representing each 'camp' in the controversy. I've also seen Oreskes' study in Science (link ) which uses a collection of abstracts downloaded from Web of Science to argue that there is a consensus in the scientific community on the phenomena of human-caused global warning. This study received a lot of attention in the press, and generated some backlash as well, but I'm not aware of any critique of the paper by members of the bibliometrics community. Can consensus be measured by bibliometrics? If so, how to validate the results of such studies? If anyone can point me to articles that deal with the topic, I'd appreciate it.

Along with the widespread adoption of broadband residential access and the increasing demand of multimedia service over the Internet, we are now witnessing the emergence of a new class of popular P2P applications, namely, P2P audio and video streaming. Popular P2P video streaming applications have successfully demonstrated the support of thousands of concurrent peers per channel at bit rates in excess of 400 kbps. While traditional P2P file distribution applications are targeted for elastic data transfers, P2P streaming focuses on the efficient delivery of audio and video content under tight timing requirements. Still in its infancy, both live and on-demand P2P streaming present many research challenges. To date, a number of architectures have been suggested by using either the tree-based push approach (e.g., Narada and SplitStream) or the mesh-based pull approach (e.g., CoolStream) which basically divides the media content into blocks for trading among peers. Further improvements are possible by taking advantage of advanced source and channel coding techniques such as layered coding, multiple description codes, fountain codes, and network coding. Given the initial success of P2P live streaming, questions still remain about how to extend the existing peer-to-peer models for more advanced applications with more stringent requirements such as video-on-demand services and how to support live and on-demand streaming in the same P2P network. Furthermore, with the wide deployment of wireless networks (WLAN, ad hoc, and 3G networks) and various wireless backhaul technologies (wireless mesh networks and WiMax), there are still open research challenges on how to realize a large-scale P2P media streaming over highly dynamic wireless channels and with user mobility.

It includes some preliminary results on how to differentiate a large number of conflicting opinions, in this case is about the controversal bestseller The Da Vinci Code based on 3,000+ Amazon customer reviews. The work is ongoing and the idea is to develop the method further in order to apply it to scientific literature. The goal is to be able to pinpoint exactly how different views differ based on a series of statistical selection and classification processes. Chen, C., SanJuan, F. I., SanJuan, E., & Weaver, C.
