From loet at LEYDESDORFF.NET Tue Oct 2 04:44:56 2007 From: loet at LEYDESDORFF.NET (Loet Leydesdorff) Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 10:44:56 +0200 Subject: corporate addresses in ISI data at the WoS Message-ID: Dear colleagues, Costas, R., & Iribarren-Maestro, I. (2007). Variations in content and format of ISI databases in their different versions: The case of the Science Citation Index in CD-ROM and the Web of Science. Scientometrics, 72(2), 167-183. The article demonstrates how the C1-field for institutional addresses and the RP-field for reprint requests is sometimes confused and intermingled in the output of the Web-of-Science. I corrected my online routines (to be found at http://www.leydesdorff.net/indicators ) so that after the absorption of all addresses in the C1-field, the RP-field is checked. If the institutions (third subfield of the record) and the country (last subfield) match with one of the already captured addresses, the RP-field is skipped. Otherwise it is added with number 999 as the sequence number for the addresses. This correction is now in place for: * ISI.exe which organizes the data saved in tagged format into databases for relational database management; * COAUTH.exe which extracts a Pajek file for coauthorship analysis; * INTCOLL.exe which extracts a Pajek file for international (between country) coauthorship analysis; * BIBCOUPL.exe which extracts a Pajek file for the analysis of bibliographic coupling; * BIBJOURN.exe which extracts a Pajek file for the analysis of bibliographic couping at the level of journals. All these routines generate the following databases: AU, CS, CR, and CORE. The latter one contains the unique information of the record (like title and journal name), while the other ones can be related to this file using the field NR. The dbf-files can be imported in MS Access for relational database management. I take no responsibility for using these files--they may contain bugs--but feedback is appreciated. I made them primarily for educational purposes and for my own use, but colleagues are free to share them. I am grateful to Costas & Irribaren-Maestro for signalling the problem.

Source: SOUTHERN MEDICAL JOURNAL 100 (4): 371-375 APR 2007 Document Type: Article Language: English Abstract: Introduction: The emphasis on publications for promotion in academic medicine would lead one to the theory that authorship numbers would increase proportionally with this emphasis. To investigate authorship trends across a number of periodicals, we performed a descriptive study comparing two full years of published articles spaced ten years apart from five medical journals. Methods: Physician reviewers each reviewed all articles of one medical journal for the 1995 and 2005 publication years. Reviewed journals included Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM), Annals of Emergency Medicine (AnnEM), Annals of Internal Medicine (AIM), Journal of Trauma (JT), and New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). Data collected for each article were number of authors, ordinal number of the corresponding author, type of study described, whether the described study was a multicenter trial, whether authorship listed included a "study group," and whether any author was also an editor of the journal. Results: A total of 2927 articles were published in the five journals in 1995, and of these, 1401 (47.9%) were analyzed after the exclusion criteria had been applied; for 2005 a total of 3630 articles were published and of these, 1351 (37.2%) were included in the analysis. Across all five journals the mean number of authors per article increased from 4.66 to 5.73 between 1995 and 2005 (P < 0.0001), and four of the five journals individually had statistically significant increases in the number of authors per article. More articles had a journal editor as an author in 2005 (increased from 7.8% to 11.0%, P = 0.004), though no single journal had a statistically significant increase. Conclusion: We describe a trend of increasing mean authors, editorial authorship, study groups, and multicenter trials over time with fewer solo authors now publishing original research or case reports. The academic medical community must pursue an authorship requirement consensus to assure that a standard of contribution for all authors on a given paper is met.

However, Colciencias, an entity created to support this research in Colombia, introduced scienciometric evaluations which had been re-evaluated elsewhere some time ago, based on measurements of aspects such,as the ill- termed "impact factor". Even more serious is that the aforementioned government office is unaware that measures are based on debated mathematical principles, placing Colombian science at imminent risk of suffering from an academic yatrogeny of irreparable consequences. Therefore, an urgent restructuring of the way in Which Colombia's scientific production is to be evaluated is thus mandatory before these measures have a negative impact thereon.

We put forward an extended version of this diffusion model, where we consider the relation between key characteristics of the diffusion process and features of the articles. More specifically, parameters measuring citations' ceiling and the timing of peak citations are correlated with specific features of the articles like the number of pages and the number of authors. Our approach amounts to a multi-level non-linear regression for a panel of time series. We illustrate our model for citations to articles that were published in Econometrica and the Journal of Econometrics. Amongst other things, we find that more references lead to more citations and that for the Journal of Econometrics peak citations of more recent articles tend to occur later.(c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

The data is taken from arXives. The system is described as coupled networks. By considering the 1995-2005 time interval and scanning the author-article network evolution with a mobile time window, we focus on the properties of the links, as well as on the time evolution of the nodes. They can be in three states, N, G or multi-disciplinary (M). This leads to drastic jumps in a so-called order parameter, i.e. the link proportion of a given type, forming the main island, that reminds of features appearing at percolation and during metastable (aggregation-desaggregation) processes. The data analysis also focuses on the way different kinds (N, G or M) of authors collaborate, and on the kind of the resulting collaboration.

Then, we click on "send to" icon and select the "text" option. This provides the detailed reference in text format, which can be saved in a separate document file. We repeat this procedure for all the references to get a compiled bibliography, which can be formatted in any style. If the search of particular reference reveals "no item found" this signifies a mistake in typing the author's name. Under these circumstances, a search can be made using the name of other authors in the reference article. The complete bibliography thus obtained is once again checked against the original articles to safeguard against any possible errors."

It is a large-scale empirical analysis of the development of treatments for coronary artery disease, which is the most common cause of death in developed countries. We uncover the structure of medical understanding of the disease and the path- dependent co-evolution of scientific and technical knowledge in the search for solutions to the relevant set of problems. After reviewing a broad range of secondary sources and a number of interviews with leading clinicians, we use new tools recently developed for the longitudinal analysis of large citation networks. We apply them to a bibliographic database of 11,240 papers published in the area of coronary artery disease between 1979 and 2003 and to a patent dataset of 5136 US patents documents granted between 1976 and 2003 for angioplasty-related devices. The results are consistent maps, which we critically discuss, of the major scientific and technological trajectories associated with one of the most important medical procedures of the last 30 years.

This editors' role has become increasingly difficult since the pressure to publish scientific papers is progressively stimulated by the role that those papers play in curricula vitae when the authors. apply for university positions, academic promotions, research grants and for their personal prestige. As a consequence, increasing instances of misconduct in scientific publications are detected. Some cases are noticed during the editorial process, mostly when peer reviewers identify) redundant publications or plagiarism. Other cases are denounced after a manuscript was published. it is the editors' ditty to verify the misconduct, request an explanation front the authors and, if their answer is unsatisfactory, report the problem to the institutional authorities supporting the authors. The editors should denounce the situation in a forthcoming issue of the journal. Universities should enforce the teaching of ethical rules that govern the report of scientific information. Revista Medica de C-bile follows recommendations given by the International Committee of Medical journal Editors, the World Association of Medical Editors and other groups, but honesty and good faith in all the actors involved in the process of biomedical publications (authors, reviewers, editors) remain the cornerstones of scientific good behavior (Rev Med Chile 200 7; 135: 415-18).

Source: MEDICAL HYPOTHESES 69 (1): 1-5 2007 Document Type: Editorial Material Language: English Cited References: 11 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: The Nobel prize for medicine or physiology, the Lasker award for clinical medicine, and the Gairdner international award are given to individuals for their rote in developing theories, technologies and discoveries which have changed the direction of biomedical science. These distinctions have been used to develop an NLG metric to measure research performance and trends in 'revolutionary' biomedical science with the aim of identifying the premier revolutionary science research institutions and nations from 1992-2006. 1 have previously argued that the number of Nobel laureates in the biomedical field should be expanded to about nine per year and the NLG metric attempts to predict the possible results of such an expansion. One hundred and nineteen NLG prizes and awards were made during the past fifteen years (about eight per year) when overlapping awards had been removed. Eighty-five were won by the USA, revealing a massive domination in revolutionary biomedical science by this nation; the UK was second with sixteen awards; Canada had five, Australia four and Germany three. The USA had twelve elite centres of revolutionary biomedical science, with University of Washington at Seattle and MIT in first position with six awards and prizes each; Rockefeller University and Caltech were jointly second placed with five. Surprisingly, Harvard University which many people rank as the premier world research centre - failed to reach the threshold of three prizes and awards, and was not included in the elite list. The University of Oxford, UK, was the only institution outside of the USA which featured as a significant centre of revolutionary biomedical science. Long-term success at the highest level of revolutionary biomedical science (and probably other sciences) probably requires a sufficiently large number of individually-successful large institutions in open competition with one another - as in the USA. If this model cannot be replicated within smaller nations, then it implies that such arrangements need to be encouraged and facilitated in multi-national units. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Source: THORAX 62 (8): 672-676 AUG 2007 Document Type: Article Language: English Cited References: 21 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: Background: Previous studies have estimated the prevalence of tuberculosis and HIV infection in population subgroups in the UK. This study was undertaken to describe recent trends in the proportion of individuals with HIV infection among reported cases of tuberculosis in England and Wales, and to review the implications for clinical and public health care. Methods: A population-based matching study using national surveillance databases was used to investigate all persons aged 15 years and over reported with a diagnosis of tuberculosis to the Health Protection Agency in England and Wales in 1999-2003. Record linkage was used to match the national tuberculosis and HIV/ AIDS surveillance databases to identify all cases of tuberculosis and determine the proportion of patients with tuberculosis co- infected with HIV. The distribution and characteristics of the cases were determined and the trend examined by year. Results: Of 30 670 cases of tuberculosis reported in England and Wales between 1999 and 2003, an estimated 1743 (5.7%) were co-infected with HIV. There was a year on year increase in the proportion from 3.1% (169/5388) in 1999 to 8.3% (548/6584) in 2003 (p for trend <0.0001). Co-infected patients contributed to almost a third of the increase in the number of cases of tuberculosis during the 5 year period. Patients co-infected with HIV were predominantly those born abroad. 18.5% (n = 323) of co-infected patients had not been reported as active cases of tuberculosis on the national tuberculosis database. Conclusion: The proportion of patients with tuberculosis co-infected with HIV in England and Wales is increasing, with the greatest impact on those born abroad regardless of their ethnic origin. With HIV infection contributing substantially to the increase in the number of cases of tuberculosis, close cooperation in the clinical management and accurate notification of patients is vital if appropriate care and public health action is to be achieved.

Higher quality articles originated in Latin American countries are published in North American or European journals. Aim: To analyze the impact factor of Latin-American journals according to the language of publication. Material and methods: The data base of periodic journals of the Thomson ISI (journal of Citation Report) in the year 2004 was used for the analysis. Four countries with more than one journal in the data base of the Thomson ISI were included (Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico). Results. Few Latin-American journals are included in the Thomson ISI data base. The mean impact factor was 0.76 (0-23-3.2) for eight Mexican journals, 0.66 (0.10-2.1) for eight Chilean journals, 0.39 (0.06-0.7) for five Argentinian journals and 0.41 (0.09-1. 1) for 16 Brazilian journals. 7be mean impact factor for 11 journals written in English was 0.74 (0.12- 2.1), 0.53 (0.09-3.2)for 18 bilingual journals and 0.28 (0.06-0.56) for eight journals written in native language. The differences between countries and languages were not statistically significant. Conclusions: The journal impact factor was similar in the four countries studied. A non- significant higher impact factor was observed in Latin-Ametican journals published in English.

Message-ID: Medline Abstract A bibliometric overview of public health research in Europe.

METHODS: A search strategy ('filter') was designed to interrogate the Science Citation Index (SCI) and the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) databases for research articles published between 01/01/1995 and 31/12/2004 in any language. We analysed output for country by population, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), burden of disease using DALYs, and language. RESULTS: Overlap between the two databases SCI and SSCI was 35%. 210,433 publications were identified after duplicates were removed, a world total of about 20,000 per year. Approximately 7,000 papers per year were produced in Europe and 9,400 by the USA. Thirteen of 28 individual European countries produced more than 100 public health papers per year. Publications per capita were highest in northern European countries. In multiple regression analyses, GDP was a modest predictor (r(2) = 0.53, P < 0.02) of publications for European countries, while population size and disability adjusted life years were not significantly related. Smaller countries and lower producers of public health research were more likely to collaborate with other countries. Of the publications, 3.5% were published in a non-English language, with German the most common. CONCLUSION: There is marked variation in public health publication by country in Europe. Eastern and southern European countries appear to under-invest in public health research compared with northern European countries and compared to relative health need.

JUL 2007. p.312-321 ASSOC COLL RESEARCH LIBRARIES, CHICAGO ABSTRACT: This study investigates 1,666 citations to Internet resources from 529 freshman English composition papers from two different years, 1999 and 2004. Web citations are examined in relation to traditional print resources, by type and domain, and with special attention to their persistence through time. After 7 months from submission of the papers for the 1999 sample, 38 percent of the links led to the document cited. After 12 months for the 2004 sample, 45 percent of the links accessed the document. A resubmission of the 1999 citations after 7 years reduced the number of successful links to 9 percent. The instability of Web citations in undergraduate student papers is discussed in the larger context of citation structure, with implications for future scholarship.

Question: Are bibliometric indicators valid instruments for early recognition of high quality researchers? Subjects and methods: The number of publications and citations of 26 assistant, associate and full professors of German psychiatry born after 1947 was analysed in their 30th and 31st year of age and between 1996 and 2000. Results: 58% of the selected 30 or 31 year old scientists had at least one publication in a journal with an impact factor, 93% of these as first or single author. 42% in this age group were at least cited once. Publication and citation rates in the early stage of a career provide hints on the later bibliometric data and the academic degree of scientists. Conclusion: High quality researchers can be recognised early in their careers by means of worldwide accessible bibliometric indicators.

A logit is estimated in which the dependent variable is a dummy variable for whether an Executive Committee member was ever elected President of the American Economic Association (AEA). The number of publications and citations are important determinants of election. Receiving a PhD from one of the top three schools does not help and living in the South does not hurt. Economists who were older in 1956 were more likely to have eventually been elected to the AEA Presidency. Address for correspondence: ARTHUR M.

In the present study we analyze 1,954 applications to the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds (B.I.F.) for doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships, which the B.I.F. evaluates in three stages (first stage: evaluation by an external reviewer; second stage: evaluation by an internal reviewer (staff member); third stage: final decision by the B.I.F. Board of Trustees). Using the RC association model, we show ? in accordance with the results of HARGENS & HERTING (2006) ? that a single latent dimension is sufficient to account for the association between (internal and external) reviewers? recommendations and the fellowship award decision by the Board. This result indicates that the latent dimension underlying reviewers? recommendations and the Board?s decisions reflects the merit of an application being evaluated. While the statistical analyses establish that overall, favorable evaluations by the reviewers correspond with favorable decisions by the Board (and vice versa), the ordering of the scale values yielded by the estimation of the RC association model also shows that internal reviewers? recommendations have a greater influence on the Board?s decisions than recommendations by external reviewers.

In this paper the recently introduced co-concentration coefficient (C-CC) is investigated via simple stochastic models of informetric processes to investigate its time-dependence. It is shown that it is important to distinguish between situations where the zero-producers can be counted and those where they cannot. A previously published data set is used to illustrate how the empirical C-CC develops in time and the general features are compared with those derived from the theoretical model.

DTU Analysis & Research Promotion Center, Lyngby (Denmark) bHellerup (Denmark) cCenter for Science and Technology Studies (CEST), Bern (Switzerland) Abstract The literature on publication counting demonstrates the use of various terminologies and methods. In many scientific publications, no information at all is given about the counting methods used. There is a lack of knowledge and agreement about the sort of information provided by the various methods, about the theoretical and technical limitations for the different methods and about the size of the differences obtained by using various methods. The need for precise definitions and terminology has been expressed repeatedly but with no success. Counting methods for publications are defined and analysed with the use of set and measure theory. The analysis depends on definitions of basic units for analysis (three chosen for examination), objects of study (three chosen for examination) and score functions (five chosen for examination). The score functions define five classes of counting methods. However, in a number of cases different combinations of basic units of analysis, objects of study and score functions give identical results. Therefore, the result is the characterization of 19 counting methods, five complete counting methods, five complete-normalized counting methods, two whole counting methods, two whole-normalized counting methods, and five straight counting methods. When scores for objects of study are added, the value obtained can be identical with or higher than the score for the union of the objects of study. Therefore, some classes of counting methods, including the classes of complete, complete-normalized and straight counting methods, are additive, others, including the classes of whole and whole-normalized counting methods, are non-additive. An analysis of the differences between scores obtained by different score functions and therefore the differences obtained by different counting methods is presented. In this analysis we introduce a new kind of objects of study, the class of cumulative-turnout networks for objects of study, containing full information on cooperation. Cumulative-turnout networks are all authors, institutions or countries contributing to the publications of an author, an institute or a country. The analysis leads to an interpretation of the results of score functions and to the definition of new indicators for scientific cooperation. We also define a number of other networks, internal cumulative-turnout networks, external cumulative-turnout networks, underlying networks, internal underlying networks and external underlying networks. The networks open new opportunities for quantitative studies of scientific cooperation.

The study identified 4 types of actors: dominant (3), independent (8), relay (1) and dominated (1). Maps of: influences and dependences between actors; convergence between actors; net distances between actors and actors-objectives relationships are presented, together with short interpretations. Defining scientific journals as actors on a specific ?knowledge market?, identifying influences and dependences between them and positioning these journals towards a set of measurable objectives creates an interesting possibility to define ?relationships of power? of a strategic nature and enables the introduction of more complex future-oriented scientometric analyses than those based solely on standard bibliometric indicators such as the impact factor.

Paris Descartes, Laboratoire d?Anatomie Fonctionnelle, Montrouge (France) bSchool of Information Systems, Technology and Management, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales (Australia) Abstract During the 1974?2004 period, the sleep literature had quadrupled (2384 publications in 1974, and 9721 in 2004) while overall scientific productivity had only doubled. The set of the seven most productive countries (USA, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada and Italy) in sleep research, and the geographical region distribution remained stable over the three decades. On the other hand several indicators appeared in the sleep research literature during the 1990s: the increasing productivity of sleep researchers; the growing number of countries publishing on sleep; the continuous creation of sleep-focused journals; the scattering of sleep publication among increasingly more scientific journals; the turnover among the leading journals; and the emergence of new entities such as China, Turkey, and the European Union.

He always forwards items he thinks I should be particularly aware of. I happen to have correponded with Loet on his JCR analyses and visualizations, so I decided to reply to him directly and I am attaching my explanation of how to get to the fully capable Marked list. The marked list, now that it has been incorporated into the expanded beta, works exactly as it always did - it's just a slightly different navigation path. The "quick output" options (in the gray bar at the bottom of the results page) allows you to output a minimum format of Authors, title, source (with or without Abstract), or a "full record" which includes ALL the fields, affiliations, references, IDS number, full author names...the whole shooting match - with the further option of including or excluding the cited references. Although I'm a data-hound, that format's a bit much even for me - but when I am doing a LOT of downloads (to export several thousand items for analysis), I find the quick output (saved to a tab-delim file) is actually quicker than the old marked list. For other analyses, where I want to home in on particular data elements, I use the old-fashioned marked list - as I described to Loet. I am not involved in the design of Web of Science or Web of Knowledge - but I will forward your comments to the key development and design people here. As a dedicated Web of Science user myself, I admit to having had an initial skepticism about the new look - but, as I get used to it, I find that I've lost none of my favorite and familiar operations, but that the most typical functions (in the hands of a less experienced searcher) are easier to use. Give it a chance... If you think there's something missing or messed-up, let me know - if I can't direct you to it, I'll find someone who can address your particular concern. I noted to Loet that I don't post to the listserv. If you do want to make these instructions available to the members, please note that they are from Thomson Scientific. Thanks.

We use Author Co-citation Analysis (ACA) techniques and semantic analysis methods to obtain a domain conceptual structure related to a common disease that generally affect all men after 40?s :-( Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia I hope nobody of SIGMETRIC subscribers (men, of course) have been affected by this disease. Anyway, its an interesting topic. Arencibia Jorge, Ricardo and Vega Almeida, Rosa Lidia and Marti Lahera, Yohannis (2007) Domain Analysis for the Construction of a Conceptual Structure: A Case Study. LIBRES Library and Information Science Research Electronic Journal 17(2). This work describes the construction of a conceptual structure, as a result of the domain analysis of the current research on Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), through different techniques based on the citations and semantic analysis. A sample which covers all published articles about the disease in mainstream journals was chosen. A total of 1,968 articles from 2000 through 2004 were retrieved from Science Citation Index. Author Co-citation Analysis (ACA) techniques and semantic analysis were used and the results were represented by different informatic programs. A macrostructure of the domain of the current research on BPH was identified through bibliometric techniques. The text mining techniques allowed validation of the identified macrostructure and the obtainment of the most frequent words in the text. The semantic analysis of the most cited reviews on BPH during the studied period allowed the definition of the categories to be used in the structure. Finally, a conceptu al structure to be used as controlled (structured) language in the information retrieval, inside of a specialized information system on the approach of the disease is shown.

Ontologies, controlled vocabulary, topic maps, semantic web Ontologies, classifications, topic maps, and the semantic web seem to enhance the usefulness and the usability of online knowledge. The different communities of deve?lopers often don't know anything about each other although there might be chances of fruit?ful cooperation. Ontologies and classifications (UDC, DDC) are a instruments of knowlegde organization and universal views on knowledge structures. Topic maps offer new and user friendly strategies of retrieval. The semantic web seems to be split between promise and reality. Successful applications are therefore of interest. B. Social tagging Folksonomies and wikies can be perceived as a way of democratization of knowled?ge. Nevertheless the producers of this knowledge control the structure of knowledge which is a debatable point. Another one is, whether the sustainability of knowledge can be guaranteed under the circumstances of an anarchic process of knowledge creation. Political questions like these are of interest. C. Platforms of knowledge There are several platforms and environments, where online knowledge is used enriching and organizing it for new purposes. Therefore contributions for some of those platforms such as e-learning, e-scholarship, e-publishing are welcome. D. Applications and projects Developers of new applications and services are invited to share their knowledge with the participants of the conference. European projects like MINERVA, the Euro?pean Digital Library etc. try to offer digitized knowledge and are good examples of the development into the direction of global stores of knowledge. All those interested in the above mentioned topics or those running relevant projects are invited to participate in and contribute to the conference. English contributions as well as talks or session proposals in other fields of knowledge organization and related matters are also welcome. Please send a proposal with title, author, address details and an abstract of up to one page length till November 30th, 2007 To . Members of the program committee are: Gerhard Budin (University of Vienna), Marc Wilhelm K?ster (Polytechnic Worms), Rainer Kuhlen (University of Konstanz), H. Peter Ohly (GESIS/ IZ Social Sciences), Max Stempfhuber (GESIS/ IZ Social Sciences), and J?rn Sieglerschmidt (Library Service Centre Baden-W?rttemberg).

It will be a consortium of European universities resolved to move forward on OA and to try to convince the largest possible number of researchers, their institutions and their European Funding Agencies to engage now in what will undoubtedly be the mode of communication of tomorrow. The transitional period will be the most difficult. Our goal is to facilitate and thereby accelerate as much as possible the transition to the OA era. "The EurOpenScholar web site, hosted by the ULg, will provide an information-gathering service concerning OA institutional repositories and OA journals, with a discussion forum on OA and the methods emerging in the field of scientometrics (research performance and impact measurement, ranking and anlysis). "EurOpenScholar's primary objective will be to open researchers' eyes to the new ways of promoting the spread of knowledge and of assessing research progress and performance in the OA era. This will contribute to the advancement of research in Europe and to the promotion of European research and European researchers. "In addition, EurOpenScholar will address itself to research managers, funding agencies, national and local research policy-makers, the R&D industry, the media, and the general public, facilitating synergies and technology transfer and providing an effective channel for the communication of real science to the public, either directly or through the media."

October 24, 2007 - The U.S. Senate last night approved the FY2008 Labor, HHS, and Education Appropriations Bill (S.1710), including a provision that directs the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to strengthen its Public Access Policy by requiring rather than requesting participation by researchers. The bill will now be reconciled with the House Appropriations Bill, which contains a similar provision, in another step toward support for public access to publicly funded research becoming United States law. ?Last night?s Senate action is a milestone victory for public access to taxpayer-funded research,? said Heather Joseph, Executive Director of SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, a founding member of the ATA). ?This policy sets the stage for researchers, patients, and the general public to benefit in new and important ways from our collective investment in the critical biomedical research conducted by the NIH.? Under a mandatory policy, NIH-funded researchers will be required to deposit copies of eligible manuscripts into the National Library of Medicine?s online database, PubMed Central. Articles will be made publicly available no later than 12 months after publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The current NIH Public Access Policy, first implemented in 2005, is a voluntary measure and has resulted in a de deposit rate of less than 5% by individual investigators. The advance to a mandatory policy is the result of more than two years of monitoring and evaluation by the NIH, Congress, and the community. ?We thank our Senators for taking action on this important issue,? said Pat Furlong, Founding President and CEO of Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy. ?This level of access to NIH-funded research will impact the disease process in novel ways, improving the ability of scientists to advance therapies and enabling patients and their advocates to participate more effectively. The advance is timely, much-needed, and ? we anticipate ? an indication of increasingly enhanced access in future.? ?American businesses will benefit tremendously from improved access to NIH research,? said William Kovacs, U.S. Chamber of Commerce vice president for environment, technology and regulatory affairs. ?The Chamber encourages the free and timely dissemination of scientific knowledge produced by the NIH as it will improve both the public and industry?s ability to become better informed on developments that impact them ? and on opportunities for innovation.? The Chamber is the world?s largest business federation, representing more than three million businesses of every size, sector, and region. ?We welcome the NIH policy being made mandatory and thank Congress for backing this important step,? said Gary Ward, Treasurer of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB). ?Free and timely public access to scientific literature is necessary to ensure that new discoveries are made as quickly as feasible. It?s the right thing to do, given that taxpayers fund this research.? The ASCB represents 11,000 members and publishes the highly ranked peer-reviewed journal, Molecular Biology of the Cell. Joseph added, ?On behalf of the taxpayers, patients, researchers, students, libraries, universities, and businesses that pressed this bill forward with their support over the past two years, the ATA thanks Congress for throwing its weight behind the success of taxpayer access to taxpayer-funded research.? Negotiators from the House and Senate are expected to meet to reconcile their respective bills this fall. The final, consolidated bill will have to pass the House and the Senate before being delivered to the President at the end of the year. ### The Alliance for Taxpayer Access is a coalition of patient, academic, research, and publishing organizations that supports open public access to the results of federally funded research. The Alliance was formed in 2004 to urge that peer-reviewed articles stemming from taxpayer-funded research become fully accessible and available online at no extra cost to the American public.

Source: AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEURORADIOLOGY 28 (8): 1430-1434 SEP 2007 Document Type: Article Language: English Cited References: 5 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the publication fate of submissions previously rejected from the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR) to provide guidance to authors who receive rejection notices. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective search by using MEDLINE of all submissions rejected from AJNR in 2004 was performed to identify subsequently published manuscripts. The fate of subsequently published manuscripts was analyzed as a function of submission type (major study, technical note, or case report), publication delay, publishing journal type (neuroradiology, general radiology, or clinical neuroscience journal), impact factor, publication volume, and circulation volume. RESULTS: Of the 554 rejected submissions to AJNR, 315 (56%) were subsequently published in 115 different journals, with the journal Neuroradiology publishing the greatest number of articles (37 t12%] of 315). The mean publication delay was 15.8 +/- 7.5 months. Major studies were more likely than case reports to be subsequently published (P =.034), but all 3 subtypes were published at rates greater than 50%. Radiologic journals collectively published approximately 60% of subsequent publications, whereas neurosurgery and neurology journals published 27% of rejected manuscripts. The mean impact factor of journals subsequently publishing rejected manuscripts was 1.8 +/- 1.3 (AJNR = 2.5), and 24 (7.5%) manuscripts were subsequently published in journals with higher impact factors than AJNR. CONCLUSIONS: These findings should give hope to authors receiving a rejection from AJNR, because greater than 50% of articles rejected from AJNR are subsequently published within 2-3 years, irrespective of publication type, into high-quality journals.

Because our map shows the pattern of citations to research articles published within five years, it represents what de Sola Price called the ?research frontier,? (23) rather than the long-term interdependencies among fields.

The person for whom I've done this work has asked that the edges be labeled with keywords from the linking papers. Since I'm using VantagePoint to clean the data and create the matrices, it's pretty easy (although ugly from an information science point of view) to actually compile interesting (inverted frequency or whatever) keywords. So I thought there would be a way to do line attributes or something instead of just node attributes? I've been looking through the de Nooy, Mrvar, and Batagelj book and I see pictures with words next to the lines (sort of like one would draw out an ontology), but in both NetDraw and Pajek I can only figure out how to turn numerical weights on and off. I guess I could always photoshop the exported image, but that's not so elegant! Help? Thanks in advance, Christina P.S. - Has anyone else tried VantagePoint for getting the data ready to go into UCINET or Pajek?

Figure 16 in the manual provides an example. I find it easiest to export as SVG.
