Source: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 59 (1): 51-62 JAN 1 2008 Abstract: The old Asian legend about the blind men and the elephant comes to mind when looking at how different authors of scientific papers describe a piece of related prior work. It turns out that different citations to the same paper often focus on different aspects of that paper and that neither provides a full description of its full set of contributions. In this article, we will describe our investigation of this phenomenon. We studied citation summaries in the context of research papers in the biomedical domain. A citation summary is the set of citing sentences for a given article and can be used as a surrogate for the actual article in a variety of scenarios. It contains information that was deemed by peers to be important. Our study shows that citation summaries overlap to some extent with the abstracts of the papers and that they also differ from them in that they focus on different aspects of these papers than do the abstracts. In addition to this, co-cited articles (which are pairs of articles cited by another article) tend to be similar. We show results based on a lexical similarity metric called cohesion to justify our claims.

The analysis covered 46 doctoral theses presented at the Institut Quimic de Sarria (IQS) from 1995 to 2003. The results obtained from the 4,203 citations revealed that the most frequently used documents were scientific papers, which accounted for 79 percent of the total; 33 journals met 50 percent of the informational needs; and the age of 50 percent of the citations was no older than 9 years. Finally, the results can be used as a tool for the collection management of the library.

This examination revealed the areas of concentration within the research, frequently published subjects through the years, and the characteristics of the top-cited authors and resources during this time. This information allows those in the field to follow the trends in publication, gives researchers the tools to determine which journals might give their work the most exposure and recognition, and can help libraries to make collection management decisions in this subject area.

It measures academic performance and determines much academic funding. There is consequently some pressure to publish in quality journals. But quality journals are defined in terms that are themselves defined in terms of quality journals - a circularity that explains both the paper's title and the frustration of those who do not mix in these circles. We examine the gamesmanship of publishing in quality journals. Findings from a survey of heads of Management Studies departments in UK universities suggest that such gamesmanship is common. Cunning and calculation now support scholarship in Management Studies. Gamesmanship will remain common until the rewards for publishing attach to the content of papers, to what is published rather than where it is published. We propose a 'Tinkerbell Solution': without belief in the value of a paper in a quality journal, the game is no longer worth playing.

For each one article, a corresponding citations graph is constructed in the form of a relational table. The impact factor is calculated by considering not only the citations made directly to an article, but also citations made to the corresponding citing article(s). In this respect, an improved algorithm is utilized, namely one that traverses all the threads in the citations graph, in an attempt to improve the degree of fairness in assigning credit for the quality of each one article. When two articles have an equal number of (direct) citations, the one that has triggered more research activity (i.e. its citing articles attract a larger number of citations at subsequent levels in the citations graph) is assigned a higher impact factor rating and, consequently, is ranked to be better.

Books are cited far more often (75.8%) than journal articles (19.8%). Over half of the monographs cited (55.4%) are less than twenty years old. In general, journal articles published within the past twenty years are the most frequently cited. Literary scholars use a diversity of monographs which fall outside of the core classifications for literature; over 40% are outside. This study is compared to other citation studies of English and American literature. It concludes with observations on the use of the Web, browsing by literary researchers, and English as an interdisciplinary field.

The alkaline earth (A2) rare earth (RE) cuprate high-temperature superconductors as a typical inorganic compound family and the corresponding literature were analyzed by scientometric methods. The time dependent overall number of articles and patents and of the publications related to specific compound subsets and subject categories are given. The data reveal a significant decrease of basic research activity in this research field. The A2 RE cuprate species covered by the CAS compound file were analyzed with respect to the occurrence of specific elements in order to visualize known and unknown substances and to identify characteristic patterns. The quaternary and quinternary cuprates were selected and the number of compound species as a function of specific combinations of A2 and RE elements is given. The Cu/O and RE/A2 ratios of the quaternary cuprate species as a function of A2 and RE atoms are shown. In addition, the research landscape of the MgB2 related publications was established using STN AnaVist, an analysis tool recently developed by STN International.

About two thirds of knowledge has come from foreign sources and 94% of them are from English materials. Research Policy is the most frequently cited journal followed by Harvard Business Review, R&D Management and American Economic Review. An analysis of who cites the most highly cited journal is also included. Neo-Schumpeterians in Korea cite more papers from Research Policy than general researchers, and there is no difference between groups in the year of citation.

For example, Reddy comes from Andhra Pradesh and Das, Ghosh and Roy from West Bengal. We investigated the extent to which researchers with names associated with some of the larger states were writing scientific papers in those states, and in other ones, and to see how these concentrations (relative to the whole of India) had changed since the early 1980s. We found that West Bengalis, for example, were now significantly less concentrated in their home state than formerly, and that their concentrations elsewhere were strongly influenced by the state?s geographical distance from West Bengal and, to a lesser extent, by the correlation between the scientific profile of their host state and their own preferences (which favoured physics and engineering over biology and mathematics). Thus they were strongly represented in nearby Bihar, Assam and Orissa, and much less so in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

We propose an asymmetric paradigmatic proximity metric between terms which provide insight into hierarchical structure of scientific activity and test our methods on a case study with a database made of several millions of resources. We also propose overlapping categorization to describe paradigmatic fields as sets of terms that may have several different usages. Terms can also be dynamically clustered providing a high-level description of the evolution of the paradigmatic fields.

The walking technique of the biped humanoid robot was used as an example to study the relative research capabilities and patent citation conditions for patent owners and patent map by the searching method of the theme code for FI (File Index) and F-term classification system of the Japanese Patent Office (JPO). A formulated technical matrix of patent map was established to indicate that the ZMP (Zero Moment Point) control means was the main technology to achieve stabilized walking control of the humanoid biped robot. This method can aid to establish a specific technological matrix from the specific selected term codes (single viewpoint or multiple viewpoints) of the F-term list in the theme code of the JPO system through Boolean logical operations. The resulting particular technical fields were developed to improve the technological capability or seek the merging technology opportunities.

R. China) Abstract The objective of the study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of all pentachlorophenolrelated publications in the Science Citation Index (SCI). Analyzed parameters included document type, language of publication, page count, publication output, authorship, keywords plus, publication pattern, citation and country of publication. The US produced 29% of the total single country publications where the seven major industrial countries accounted for the majority of the total production (66%). An indicator citation per publication was successfully applied in this study to evaluate the impact of number of authors, countries, and journals. The mean value of citation per publication of collaborative papers was higher than that of single country publications. In addition analysis of keywords plus in different period was applied to indicate a research trend.

For cross-field comparisons, article citation rates have to be normalised to baseline values because citation practices vary between fields, in respect of timing and volume. Baseline citation values vary according to the level at which articles are aggregated (journal, sub-field, field). Consequently, the normalised citation performance of each research unit will depend on the level of aggregation, or ?zoom?, that was used when the baselines were calculated. Here, we calculate the citation performance of UK research units for each of three levels of article-aggregation. We then compare this with the grade awarded to that unit by external peer review. We find that the correlation between average normalised citation impact and peerreviewed grade does indeed vary according to the selected level of zoom. The possibility that the level of ?zoom? will affect our assessment of relative impact is an important insight. The fact that more than one view and hence more than one interpretation of performance might exist would need to be taken into account in any evaluation methodology. This is likely to be a serious challenge unless a reference indicator is available and will generally require any evaluation to be carried out at multiple levels for a reflective review.

R. China) b Department of Environmental Sciences, College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Peking University, Beijing (P. R. China) Abstract This is the first article using bibliometrics to study the field of contingent valuation research. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contingent valuation research performance based on all the related articles in SCI and SSCI databases from 1991 to 2005. An indicator named citation per publication (CPP) was presented in this study to assess the impact of article output per year, different countries, institutes, and authors from the worldwide. Publication per institute (PPI) in a country was used to be an indicator to compare institute?s research performance by country. Citation analysis was made to select the most frequently cited articles since publication to 2005 of each year. A citation model was applied to describe the relationship between the cumulative number of citations and article life. The results indicate that with the increase article output per year, the CPP decreased slightly since 1997. The USA produced 55% of all pertinent articles. Institutes from the UK had a higher PPI. The most prolific institutes and authors, and the most frequently cited articles per year were all listed. In addition, a citation model was successfully applied to evaluate performance of each year, and the most frequently cited articles of each year were also compared by the model.

R. China) Abstract A keyword analysis was applied in this work to evaluate research trends of DDT (1,1,1- trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane) papers published between 1991 and 2005 in any journal of all the subject categories of the Science Citation Index compiled by ISI (Institute for Scientific Information, Philadelphia, USA). DDT was used as a keyword to search parts of titles, abstracts, or keywords. The published output analysis showed that DDT research steadily increased over the past 15 years and the annual publication output in 2005 was about twice that of 1991. The two peaks in 1997 and 2000 were closely related to two new research fields on DDT, namely the endocrine disruption and the persistent organic pollutants (POPs). A paper entitled ?Persistent DDT metabolite p,p?-DDE is a potent androgen receptor antagonist? published in 1995 in Nature by Kelce et al. firstly discovered DDT?s toxicity for humans. As a result, public concerns regarding DDT ballooned and now play a key role in DDT research. Keyword analysis indicated that the research interest changed remarkably from 1991 to 2005. ?Endocrine disruption? was one of the most frequently used author keywords in the period between 2002 and 2005 whilst it did not appear before 1997. The new conception of POPs showed the same trend. The whole paper published by India and Mexico ranked at 6th and 13th. That showed that DDT research is often related with DDT?s risk and benifits to humans.

M. GUPTAa, S. M. DHAWANb a National Institute of Science, Technology & Development Studies, New Delhi (India) b Library & Information Consultant, Former Scientist F, National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi (India) Abstract The study analyses 27018 research papers published by India in condensed matter physics as seen from Science Citation Index?Extended Version (SCIE) (Web of Science) database for the period 1993?1995, 1996?1998 and 1999? 2001. The study reports that condensed matter physics is the most sought after branch in physics research in India, accounting for 20% share of the country output in physics. The University & College sector as well as R&D sector are the major contributors to condensed matter physics. However, the country growth in this field, computed on six yearly basis, has still been negative (?1%) compared to 17.4% country growth in overall physics during the same period, 1993?1995 to 1999?2001. The study also maps condensed matter physics research on other dimensions such as institutional productivity, nature of collaboration in research, and institutional specialization. It examines highly cited papers, and lists prominent and productive scientists in this field. It also provides suggestions for accelerating condensed matter research in India.

Two main journal groups were identified: those publishing mainly in English with substantial contributions from outside the region, and those publishing in local languages, principally by the local community and on subjects of local interest. We found little inter-citation among the local papers while the highest number of citations by extra-regional authors was to papers published in English. Quantitative indicators show that LA-C journals are better positioned in the mainstream literature than ever before.

Paul Verlaine, Metz (France) Abstract We extend the pioneering work of J. E. Hirsch, the inventor of the h-index, by proposing a simple and seemingly robust approach for comparing the scientific productivity and visibility of institutions. Our main findings are that i) while the h-index is a sensible criterion for comparing scientists within a given field, it does not directly extend to rank institutions of disparate sizes and journals, ii) however, the h-index, which always increases with paper population, has an universal growth rate for large numbers of papers; iii) thus the h-index of a large population of papers can be decomposed into the product of an impact index and a factor depending on the population size, iv) as a complement to the h-index, this new impact index provides an interesting way to compare the scientific production of institutions (universities, laboratories or journals).

Only authors associated with monographs are treated. So, author productivity of monographs that has not been widely researched is empirically examined to determine conformity or nonconformity to Lotka?s law. A random sample of 1.600 Slovenian authors is drawn from the authority file CONOR. Next, the authors are searched in COBIB and each attributed the number of monographs. Using the formula: xny = c, the values of the exponent n and the constant c are computed and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is applied. The paper shows that the author productivity distribution predicted by Lotka also holds for the occurrences of personal name headings in COBIB.

New positioning indicators based on microdata ANDREA BONACCORSI, CINZIA DARAIO Department of Electrical Systems and Automation, University of Pisa, Pisa (Italy) Abstract We address the issue of differentiation of the profile of universities and offer a set of new indicators based on microdata at the individual level and the application of robust nonparametric efficiency measures. In particular, we use efficiency measures in order to characterize the way in which universities use their inputs (academic and non academic staff, funding) in the effort to position themselves in the space of output (undergraduate teaching, postgraduate education, fundamental research, contract research, third mission), while keeping efficiency under control. The strategic problem of universities is defined as making best use of existing resources in the short run, while enlarging the scope of autonomy in procuring additional resources in the long run. In order to make best use of resources universities are led to increase their specialization and differentiate their offering profile. This happens even if the European institutional landscape does not encourage universities to differentiate.

In Australia, discussions surrounding their use have long acknowledged the unsuitability of many standard quantitative measures for most humanities, arts, social science, and applied science disciplines. To fill this void, several projects are running concurrently. This paper details the methodology and initial results for one of the projects that aims to rank conferences into prestige tiers, and which is fast gaining a reputation for best practice in such exercises. The study involves a five-stage process: identifying conferences; constructing a preliminary ranking of these; engaging in extensive consultation; testing performance measures based on the rankings on ?live? data; and assessing the measures. In the past, many similar attempts to develop a ranking classification for publication outlets have faltered due to the inability of researchers to agree on a hierarchy. However the Australian experience suggests that when researchers are faced with the imposition of alternative metrics that are far less palatable, consensus is more readily achieved.

R. China) Abstract Q-measures for binary divided networks were introduced in 2004. These measures can value the status of notes as linkage (or bridges) between two groups in a connected undirected network. We collected data from the Web of Science and used a computer programme in order to study Q-measures for an England-Germany collaboration network in fluid mechanics. The result indicates that Cambridge University, Manchester University, Technische Universit?t Berlin, the Max Planck Institute, Stuttgart University and Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe play the most important roles as bridges between England and Germany. It is shown that having a high degree centrality and being a key node are important factors explaining the ranking of nodes in a network according to Q-value. It is observed that institutes with a high Q-value have, on average, a higher production than those with a lower Q-value.

Studies issued by the European Commission reported the increase of the European share in the world?s scientific production and announced world leadership of the EU in scientific output at the end of the last century. In order to be able to monitor those types of global changes, the present study is based on the 15- year period 1991?2005. A set of bibliometric and technometric indicators is used to analyse activity and impact patterns in science and technology output. This set comprises publication output indicators such as (1) the share in the world total, (2) subject-based publication profiles, (3) citation-based indicators like journal- and subject-normalised mean citation rates, (4) international co-publications and their impact as well as (5) patent indicators and publication-patent citation links (both directions). The evolution of national bibliometric profiles, ?scientific weight? and science-technology linkage patterns are discussed as well. The authors show, using the mirror of science and technology indicators, that the triad model does no longer hold in the 21st century. China is challenging the leading sciento-economic powers and the time is approaching when this country will represent the world?s second largest potential in science and technology. China and other emerging scientific nations like South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil and Turkey are already changing the balance of power as measured by scientific production, as they are at least in part responsible for the relative decline of the former triad.

This is done by identifying and analyzing external effects, specifically spillover effects. The database used is Perinorm. We use a cluster analysis in order to create groups of technology fields for German standards according to the fields of the International Classification of Standards. Methodologically, the distances between these objects or clusters are defined by the chosen distance measure, which in turn is determined by the sum of their cross references. The applied joining clustering method uses these distances between the objects and allows the data to be mapped within a two dimensional space. The results of this mapping show the existence of structures within the standards data fitting to the well-known structure of patent spillovers.

Knowing the impact of theses is relevant not only for students undertaking graduate studies, but also for the building of repositories of electronic theses and dissertations (ETD) and the substantial investment this involves. This paper shows that the impact of theses as information sources has been generally declining over the last century, apart from during the period of the ?golden years' of research, 1945 to 1975. There is no evidence of ETDs having a positive impact; on the contrary, since their introduction the impact of theses has actually declined more rapidly. This raises questions about the justification for ETDs and the appropriateness of writing monograph style theses as opposed to publication of a series of peer- reviewed papers as the requirement for fulfilment of graduate studies.

The primary organizations were defined by the productivity and identified by the patent count and Bradford Law. The author analyzed the cited patents of the patents granted by United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) from 1991 to 2002 to the 40 primary organizations (assignees) in Genetics Engineering Research to establish the correlation. 780 coupling pairs formed by the 40 primary organizations and Coupling Index and Coupling Strength were calculated for each pair and primary organization. Correlation Analysis and Multiple-Dimension Scaling were applied further based on Coupling Index. Technological clusters were found in the results of the analyses.

HENK F. MOED Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University, Leiden (The Netherlands) Abstract A longitudinal analysis of UK science covering almost 20 years revealed in the years prior to a Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 1992, 1996 and 2001) three distinct bibliometric patterns, that can be interpreted in terms of scientists? responses to the principal evaluation criteria applied in a RAE. When in the RAE 1992 total publications counts were requested, UK scientists substantially increased their article production. When a shift in evaluation criteria in the RAE 1996 was announced from ?quantity? to ?quality?, UK authors gradually increased their number of papers in journals with a relatively high citation impact. And during 1997?2000, institutions raised their number of active research staff by stimulating their staff members to collaborate more intensively, or at least to co- author more intensively, although their joint paper productivity did not. This finding suggests that, along the way towards the RAE 2001, evaluated units in a sense shifted back from ?quality? to ?quantity?. The analysis also observed a slight upward trend in overall UK citation impact, corroborating conclusions from an earlier study. The implications of the findings for the use of citation analysis in the RAE are briefly discussed. Address for correspondence: HENK F.

NEDERHOF Centre for Science and Technology Studies, (CWTS), University of Leiden, Leiden (The Netherlands) Abstract This paper examines policy-relevant effects of a yearly public ranking of individual researchers and their institutes in economics by means of their publication output in international top journals. In 1980, a grassroots ranking (?Top 40?) of researchers in the Netherlands by means of their publications in international top journals started a competition among economists. The objective was to improve economics research in the Netherlands to an internationally competitive level. The ranking lists did stimulate output in prestigious international journals. Netherlands universities tended to perform well compared to universities elsewhere in the EU concerning volume of output in ISI source journals, but their citation impact was average. Limitations of ranking studies and of bibliometric monitoring in the field of economics are discussed. Address for correspondence: ANTON J.

Here we present standards of good practice for analyzing bibliometric data and presenting and interpreting the results. Comparisons drawn between research groups as to research performance are valid only if (1) the scientific impact of the research groups or their publications are looked at by using box plots, Lorenz curves, and Gini coefficients to represent distribution characteristics of data (in other words, going beyond the usual arithmetic mean value), (2) different reference standards are used to assess the impact of research groups, and the appropriateness of the reference standards undergoes critical examination, and (3) statistical analyses comparing citation counts take into consideration that citations are a function of many influencing factors besides scientific quality.

Introducing a normalisation method for ranking applications that takes into account the differences between committees, we also use a normalisation of bibliometric measures by field. Finally, we perform a regression analysis with interaction effects. Our results indicate that female principal investigators (PIs) receive a bonus of 10% on scores, in relation to their male colleagues. However, male and female PIs having a reviewer affiliation collect an even higher bonus, approximately 15%. Nepotism seems to be a persistent problem in the Swedish grant peer review system.

SHELTON Loyola College and WTEC, Baltimore (USA) E-mail : E-mail: shelton at wtec.org Abstract The term ?European Paradox? describes the perceived failure of the EU to capture full benefits of its leadership of science as measured by publications and some other indicators. This paper investigates what might be called the ?American Paradox,? the decline in scientific publication share of the U.S. despite world-leading investments in research and development (R&D) ? particularly as that decline has accelerated in recent years. A multiple linear regression analysis was made of which inputs to the scientific enterprise are most strongly correlated with the number of scientific papers produced. Research investment was found to be much more significant than labor input, government investment in R&D was much more significant than that by industry, and government non-defense investment was somewhat more significant than its defense investment. Since the EU actually leads the U.S. in this key component, this could account for gradual loss of U.S. paper share and EU assumption of leadership of scientific publication in the mid-1990s. More recently the loss of U.S. share has accelerated, and three approaches analyzed this phenomenon: (1) A companion paper shows that the SCI database has not significantly changed to be less favorable to the U.S.; thus the decline is real and is not an artifact of the measurement methods. (2) Budgets of individual U.S. research agencies were correlated with overall paper production and with papers in their disciplines. Funding for the U.S. government civilian, non- healthcare sector was flat in the last ten years, resulting in declining share of papers. Funding for its healthcare sector sharply increased, but there were few additional U.S. healthcare papers. While this inefficiency contributes to loss of U.S. share, it is merely a specific example of the general syndrome that increased American investments have not produced increased publication output. (3) In fact the decline in publication share appears to be due to rapidly increasing R&D investments by China, Taiwan, S. Korea, and Singapore. A model shows that in recent years it is a country?s share of world investment that is most predictive of its publication share. While the U.S. has increased its huge R&D investment, its investment share still declined because of even more rapidly increasing investments by these Asian countries. This has likely led to their sharply increased share of scientific publication, which must result in declines of shares of others ? the U.S. and more recently, the EU.

It was found that 78 percent of surveyed scientists from a variety of fields responding to a survey indicated that the research performed in connection with a recent highly cited paper had such implications. Health related implications were the most common, but other types of implications encountered were technological spin-offs, public understanding, economic and policy benefits. Surprisingly many scientists considered the advancement of science itself to be a social implication of their research. The relations of these implications to the field and topics of research are examined, and a mapping of implications gives an overview of the major dimensions of the social impacts of science.

The usage of bibliometric indicators, even after standardisation, cannot disguise that comparing institutes remains often like comparing apples with pears. We developed a model to assign institutes to one of 8 different groups based on their research profile. Each group has a different focus: 1. Biology, 2. Agricultural Sciences, 3. Multidisciplinary, 4. Geo & Space Sciences, 5. Technical and natural Sciences, 6. Chemistry, 7. General and Research Medicine, 8. Specialised Medicine. Two applications of this methodology are described. In the first application we compare the composition of clusters at national level with the national research profiles. This gives a deeper insight in the national research landscape. In a second application we look at the dynamics of institutes by comparing their subject clustering at two different points in time.

A new indicator, characterizing the Mean Structural Difference of scientific fields between countries has been introduced and calculated for CEE countries. For EUJ countries correlation between the GDP and number of publications of a given year proved to be non- significant. Longitudinal studies showed, however, significant correlations between the yearly values of GDP and number of papers published. Studying data referring to consecutive time periods revealed that there is no direct relationship between the GDP and information production of countries. It may be assumed that grants for R&D do not actually depend on real needs, but the fact is that rich countries can afford to spend more whilst poor countries only less money on scientific research.

The ISI citation databases are designed to cover the highest impact scientific research journals as well as a few other sources chosen by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Google Scholar also contains citation information, but includes a less quality controlled collection of publications from different types of web documents. We define Google Scholar unique citations as those retrieved by Google Scholar which are not in the ISI database. We took a sample of 882 articles from 39 open access ISI-indexed journals in 2001 from biology, chemistry, physics and computing and classified the type, language, publication year and accessibility of the Google Scholar unique citing sources. The majority of Google Scholar unique citations (70%) were from full-text sources and there were large disciplinary differences between types of citing documents, suggesting that a wide range of non-ISI citing sources, especially from non-journal documents, are accessible by Google Scholar. This might be considered to be an advantage of Google Scholar, since it could be useful for citation tracking in a wider range of open access scholarly documents and to give a broader type of citation impact. An important corollary from our study is that Google Scholar?s wider coverage of Open Access (OA) web documents is likely to give a boost to the impact of OA research and the OA movement.

Its purpose is to combine methods from Social Network Analysis (SNA) and cybermetric techniques in order to ask for tendencies of integration of the European universities visible in their web presence and the role of different universities in the process of the emergence of an European Research Area. We find as a main result that the European network is set up by the aggregation of well- defined national networks, whereby the German and British networks are dominant. The national networks are connected to each other through outstanding national universities in each country.

The median number of citations found through WoS was zero for all types of publications except book chapters; the median for Google Scholar ranged from 1 for print/subscription journal articles to 3 for books and book chapters. For Google the median number of citations ranged from 9 for conference papers to 41 for books. A sample of the web citations was examined and classified as representing intellectual or non-intellectual impact. Almost 92% of the citations identified through Google Scholar represented intellectual impact ? primarily citations from journal articles. Bibliographic services (non-intellectual impact) were the largest single contributor of citations identified through Google. Open access journal articles attracted more web citations but the citations to print/subscription journal articles more often represented intellectual impact. In spite of problems with Google Scholar, it has the potential to provide useful data for research evaluation, especially in a field where rapid and fine-grained analysis is desirable.

The objective of this study is to test the utility of those techniques to explore and to visualize the intellectual structure and research fronts of multidisciplinary institutional domains. Special emphasis is laid on the identification of multilevel structures, by means of arrangements of subject categories cocitation analysis and journal cocitation analysis.

An analysis of this correlation from two different angles ? a macroscopic approach considering universities in OECD nations and a microscopic approach focusing only upon universities in Korea ? found that there is indeed a significant correlation between university research performance and the scholarly information available at libraries. A regression analysis of the two approaches also found that the more journal titles subscribed to by university libraries and the higher their budget for materials, the greater the contribution university libraries make to university research competitiveness in Korea as well as other OECD countries. In this light, in order for Korea to reach a level of research competitiveness comparable to other OECD members, policies need to be created that will effectively increase the number of journals subscribed to by university libraries.

Specifically, we compare, within a data-set of German research units, citation and co-publication indicators as a proxy for the unobserved quality dimension of scientific research. In that course we will also deal with the question whether both citations and co-publications are considerably related. Our results suggest that, although there is a strong partial correlation between citations and co-publications within a multivariate setting, we cannot use reasonably normalised co-publication indicators as an alternative proxy for quality. Thus, concerning quality assessment, there remains a primer on citation analysis.

Influence of online posting 379 AUTHOR : CARLOS B. AMAT Instituto de Agroqu?mica y Tecnolog?a de Alimentos (IATA-CSIC), Burjassot, Valencia (Spain) Abstract Introduction: Publication delay, chronological distance between completion of a scientific work and distribution of its achievements as a peer reviewed paper, is a negative phenomenon in scientific information dissemination. It can be further subdivided in successive stages corresponding to the peer review process and the technical preparation of accepted manuscripts. Formal online posting in electronic versions of journals has been considered as a shortening of the process. Objectives: To determine publication delay in a group of leading Food Research journals, as well as factors affecting this lag and also to compute the effect of formal online posting on the distribution of papers in electronic form. Secondary objective is also to study the possible effect of informal posting of papers through some repositories on the publication delay in the field. Methods: 14 Food Research journals were selected and 4836 papers published in 2004 were examined. Dates of first submission, submission of revised manuscripts, acceptation, online posting and final publication were recorded for each paper. Analysis: Data collected were analyzed using SPSS and SigmaPlot. Parametric correlation between some variables was determined and ANOVA was performed with BMDP package for significance analysis of differences among journals. Results: average publication delay of papers submitted to the set of selected journals is 348 ? 104 days, with European Food Research and Technology and Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry showing the shortest delays. Total delay strongly depends on the peer review process. On average, 85.75% of manuscripts are corrected prior to their acceptance by journals. Online posting of papers prior to their print publication reduces total delay in about 29%. On average, a paper is posted online 260 days after its submission to the set of journals. Conclusions: Publication delay of papers is strongly dependent on the peer review process, which affects most of the manuscripts in the Food Research field. Advanced online publication through formal posting at the editor?s sites only slightly reduces the time between reception and final publication of papers. Address for correspondence: CARLOS B.

The paper demonstrates some shortcomings in the Academic World Ranking of Universities (ARWU, Shanghai Jiao Tong University) ranking methods. One deficiency is that universities? scale differences are neglected due to omitting the whole input side. By resampling and reanalyzing the ARWU data, the paper proposes an input? output analysis for measuring universities? scientific productivity with special emphasis on those universities which meet the productivity threshold (i.e. share of output exceeds share of input) in a certain group of universities. The productivity analysis on Scandinavian universities evaluates multidisciplinary and specialized universities on their own terms; consequently the ranking based on scientific productivity deviates significantly from the ARWU.

OKAYb, EBRU SEZERc a Department of Geological Engineering, Hacettepe University, Beytepe, Ankara (Turkey) b Eurasia Institute of Earth Sciences, Istanbul Technical University, Maslak, Istanbul (Turkey) c Department of Computer Engineering, Hacettepe University, Beytepe, Ankara (Turkey) E-mail: cgokce at hacettepe.edu.tr Abstract We investigated the publication trends in the international earth science literature coming out of Turkey in the period of 1970?2005 using the Science Citation Index Expanded database. A database of 2310 earth science publications with at least one of the authors with an address in Turkey was compiled. The number of earth science publications from Turkey shows a very rapid increase starting in the 1990?s in parallel with the increase in the total scientific output of Turkey. In the last decade the annual growth rate has been 16%. There was also a concomitant increase in the number of citations. The causes of the sharp increase in the publication numbers are, in order of importance, changes in the rules of academic promotion and appointment, changes in academic attitudes towards publishing, increasing support for research, financial incentives for publishing, and expansion of higher education. However, the sharp increase in the publication numbers was not accompanied by a similar increase in the impact of the publications as measured by the citations. Although publications with first authors from outside Turkey make up only 20% of the Turkish earth science publications in the period 1970?2005, these account for 38% of the total citations, and constitute 48 out of 100 most cited papers.

An average increase in individual absolute production and a concomitant decrease in individual participation in each paper were detected by traditional bibliometric parameters, such as number of publications, citations, impact factors and h index, combined to their ?effective? versions, in which coauthorship is taken into consideration. The observed situation, which might well represent a national trend, should be considered as a strong warning against current criteria of scientific evaluation heavily based on uncritical counting of publications.

Furthermore, the study includes an analysis of a possible relation between the profile of a journal concerning composition of document types and factors such as place of publication and JIF. The results provide little evidence that the journal editors have succeeded in manipulating the distribution of document types. Furthermore, there is little support for the hypothesis that journal editors decrease the number of publications included in the calculation of JIF or for that matter for the hypothesis that journal editors increase the number of publications not included in the calculation of JIF. The results of the analyses show that there is a clear distinction of journals based on place of publication and JIF.

To determine the trend of mean value of references per paper throughout 1970?2005, a total number of 10,000 records were randomly chosen for each year of under study, and the mean value of references per paper was calculated. To determine the growth of journals IF a total number of 5,499 journals were chosen in the JCR in 2002 and the same set of journals in the year 2004. To show the trend of journals IF, all journals indexed in the JCR throughout 1999?2005 were extracted and the mean values of their Ifs was calculated annually. The study showed that the number of references per paper from 1970 to 2005 has steady increased. It reached from 8.40 in 1970 to 34.63 in 2005, an increase of more than 4 times. The majority of publications (76.17%) were in the form of Journals Article. After articles, Meeting Abstracts (9.46%), Notes (3.90%) and Editorial Material (3.78%) are the most frequented publication forms, respectively. 94.57% of all publications were in English. After English, German (1.50%), Russian (1.48%) and French (1.37%) were the most frequented languages, respectively. The study furthermore showed that there is a significant correlation between the IF and total citation of journals in the JCR, and there is an important hidden correlation between IF and the self-citation of journals. This phenomena causes the elevation of journals IF. The more often a journal is citing other journals, the more often it is also cited (by a factor of 1.5) by others. In consequence the growing percentage of journal self-citation is followed by journal selfcitedness, which can be considered as the Matthew Effect. There is a linear correlation between journal self-citing and journal self- cited value, the mean value of self-cited rate always stays higher than the self-citing rate. The mean value of self-cited rate in 2000 was 14% and the mean value of self-citing rate is 6.61%, whereas the mean value of self-cited rate in 2005 was 12% and the mean value of selfciting rate was 7.81%.

R. China) b Department of Social Informatics, Kyoto University, Kyoto (Japan) E-mail: jiangyichuan at yahoo.com.cn Abstract While implementing a large-scale research project, it is necessary to appoint some principle scientists, and let each principle scientist lead a research group. In a scientific collaboration community, different scientists perform different roles while they implement the project, and some scientists may be more active than others; these active scientists often undertake the role of leadership or key coordinator in the project. Obviously, we should assign the role of principle scientists onto those active actors in the communities. In this paper, we present the model and algorithms for locating active actors in the community based on the analyses of scientists? interaction topology, the actors with high connection degrees in the interaction topology can be considered as active ones. Finally, we make some case studies for our model and algorithms. Address for correspondence: YICHUAN JIANG School of Automation, Southeast University Si Pai Lou 2#, Nanjing 210096, P. R.

When we talk about field factors we look for a method that considers the different conditions of production, different journal sets, different acceptance behavior from journals, different standards, and all factors that should be included in an explanation as to why chemistry produces more papers per researcher than engineering and math researchers. For this we need to classify articles into different normalization groups. One strategy would, of course, be to use the ISI subject codes, but we are not content with that. Firstly, we need aggregate groups, secondly, in our understanding ISI subject categories is not a perfect way of organizing scientific fields into macro classes. The subject codes might be good for bibliograhical reasons, but not for this type of bibliometrics and the critique against subject categories have been discussed on this list several times. Instead, we were thinking about using bibliographic coupling in order to achieve distinct groups of fields through a clustering method. But, would we get a result that took the different conditions into consideration with a method of that type? Our answer would be no to that question. There are different branches of science, basic and applied, that refers to more or less the same references but the authors live in very different social practices and different conditions for productivity. This goes for citations as well so co-citations will not solve the problem. Our question is therefore, how to produce significant groups (fields) for normalization of productivity? We propose a new method and we invite colleagues to discuss the different stages of our method and other problems related to the method. The main point in the method is that we cluster journals according to the behavior of researchers publishing in these journals. From this follows that we have the idea that researchers from different conditions of productivity to a large extent uses different journals. First, we use the Nordic countries as a reference base for publication productivity at Swedish universities. We start by unification of address data in Web of Science downloads for all Nordic universities during a four year period (2003-2006). Next, we perform a unification of author names at all Nordic universities (54,000 unique names). We have to do this because otherwise it would be hard to count publications per author as people move around and are at different universities and research institutes (and companies) during the period. The author data is then used as a basis for a clustering procedure where the clusters are made out of links between journals according to the behavior of the Nordic authors. If the same author publishes in two different journals a connection between the journals is established. We use a variation of the clustering method proposed by Boyack & Klavans in their Madrid ISSI conference paper 2007. Accordingly, we use the links between journals as input in VxOrd to produce coordinates. The clustering is performed with co-ordinates as variable. We use a cosinus normalization for degree of linkage. One problem is the fact that all journals do not have links. Those journals that do not have at least 2 links to 2 other journals are taken out of the clustering procedure. Around 2,500 journals out of 6,000 are taken out, but these only count for 10 % of the articles. We also take away the 80 most linked journals and put them into the clustering procedure at the last stage. So, we perform the clustering in two rounds and receive approx. 130 cluster and at that stage we put in the 80 big journals and in the last clustering we receive about 50 clusters. Lastly, we manually put in the missing 2,500 journals in a manual procedure based on subject category. We were wondering if there are any viable alternatives to this methodology or another strategy to achieve clusters (fields) of research communities based on conditions for productivity? If anyone would like to have more substance to this question we have an article Sandstrom, Ulf & Sandstrom, Erik (2007) "A metric for academic performance applied to Australian universities 2001-2004" at the E-LIS archive:http://eprints.rclis.org/. (ID-code: 11776) It should be underlined that in paper we followed a different strategy for clustering of papers compared to the one we propose above. In the paper we used the author behavior over ISI subject codes as ground for clustering. The article is a methodological attempt to show that all necessary information on publication output from universities is already available from the Web of Science. By using what could be called an iceberg methodology we develop productivity figures per university and combines that with field normalized citations rates. The result is a "size-dependent" indicator for universities in a specific country. In order to use the proposed method you will have to decide on a reference base for the country in focus; for Sweden we used the Nordic countries. The method was developed for Sweden and is presented within the recently issued governmental white paper on competitive funding or formula-based block-grants (see http://regeringen.se/content/1/c6/09/13/39/89f63bda.pdf at page 21-28). Just as an illustration, in this article, we apply the method to Australian universities. ABSTRACT: In a series of papers, published during second half of the 1980s, the Budapest group (Braun, Gl?nzel, Telcs and Schubert) proposed that bibliometric distributions are to be characterized as Waring distributions. We use their methodology in order to establish a reference value for academic production within macro classes. From this we develop a combined performance model for academic research and apply the model to Australian research. This model take advantage of, first, field normalized publication rates (the productivity dimension) and, second, field normalized citation rates (the quality dimension). Based on ISI-data the performance of Australian universities is depicted in a more resource-efficient way than other models.

In the database: 1) the number of papers is the number of lines in 'working table' 2) the number of references is the number of lines in 'cite_keys' 3) the number of links is the number of lines in 'citations' For any other paper to entity matrix you'll find the number of entities is the number of keys in the keys table, and the number of links is the number of lines in the paper to entity table. In DIVA, you have to know the name of the matrix corresponding to what you're interested in. For example the paper to reference matrix is project.raw.ref_mat In the command window execute the line: >> size(project.raw.ref_mat) ans = 1659 28720 The first number is the number of papers, the second number is the number of references. To get the number of links execute the command: >> nnz(project.raw.ref_mat) ans = 84419 This number counts the sum of the number of secondary entities linked by the primary entity. For most of the matrices, which are binary matrices, this is the same as the sum of the number of links from each primary entity to each secondary entity, including multiple links. To get the total number of links you have sum all elements in the matrix using the command: >> sum(sum(project.raw.ref_mat)) ans = (1,1) 84419 The paper reference matrix is binary (only zero or 1 link per entity pair), so the both methods give the same answer. However for the paper journal to reference journal matrix, the numbers are totally different: >> nnz(project.raw.jp_jr) ans = 5094 >> sum(sum(project.raw.jp_jr)) ans = (1,1) 84467 That's because each paper journal cites each reference journal many times and the paper journal to reference journal is not binary.

This seems to me a sound way for finding the knowledge base of institutitional units of analysis (including journals, research groups, and nations). One the programs which I make available from my webpage at http://www.leydesdorff.net/software/bibjourn/index.htm precisely does this for any institutional set. I used the program hitherto only in: The position of Tibor Braun?s ?uvre: Bibliographic Journal Coupling. In: The Multidimensional World of Tibor Braun, at the occasion of his 75th birthday, Wolfgang Gl?nzel, Andr?s Schubert, Bal?zs Schlemmer (Eds.) (Leuven: Steunpunt O&O, KU. ) I would encourage exploring this method further. However, I doubt that one would be able generalize from a specific group (e.g., the Nordic countries) to the world set. This involves issues like the ecological phallacy, etc. Best wishes, Loet _____ Loet Leydesdorff Amsterdam School of Communications Research (ASCoR), Kloveniersburgwal 48, 1012 CX Amsterdam.

When we talk about field factors we look for a method that considers the different conditions of production, different journal sets, different acceptance behavior from journals, different standards, and all factors that should be included in an explanation as to why chemistry produces more papers per researcher than engineering and math researchers. For this we need to classify articles into different normalization groups. One strategy would, of course, be to use the ISI subject codes, but we are not content with that. Firstly, we need aggregate groups, secondly, in our understanding ISI subject categories is not a perfect way of organizing scientific fields into macro classes. The subject codes might be good for bibliograhical reasons, but not for this type of bibliometrics and the critique against subject categories have been discussed on this list several times. Instead, we were thinking about using bibliographic coupling in order to achieve distinct groups of fields through a clustering method. But, would we get a result that took the different conditions into consideration with a method of that type? Our answer would be no to that question. There are different branches of science, basic and applied, that refers to more or less the same references but the authors live in very different social practices and different conditions for productivity. This goes for citations as well so co-citations will not solve the problem. Our question is therefore, how to produce significant groups (fields) for normalization of productivity? We propose a new method and we invite colleagues to discuss the different stages of our method and other problems related to the method. The main point in the method is that we cluster journals according to the behavior of researchers publishing in these journals. From this follows that we have the idea that researchers from different conditions of productivity to a large extent uses different journals. First, we use the Nordic countries as a reference base for publication productivity at Swedish universities. We start by unification of address data in Web of Science downloads for all Nordic universities during a four year period (2003-2006). Next, we perform a unification of author names at all Nordic universities (54,000 unique names). We have to do this because otherwise it would be hard to count publications per author as people move around and are at different universities and research institutes (and companies) during the period. The author data is then used as a basis for a clustering procedure where the clusters are made out of links between journals according to the behavior of the Nordic authors. If the same author publishes in two different journals a connection between the journals is established. We use a variation of the clustering method proposed by Boyack & Klavans in their Madrid ISSI conference paper 2007. Accordingly, we use the links between journals as input in VxOrd to produce coordinates. The clustering is performed with co-ordinates as variable. We use a cosinus normalization for degree of linkage. One problem is the fact that all journals do not have links. Those journals that do not have at least 2 links to 2 other journals are taken out of the clustering procedure. Around 2,500 journals out of 6,000 are taken out, but these only count for 10 % of the articles. We also take away the 80 most linked journals and put them into the clustering procedure at the last stage. So, we perform the clustering in two rounds and receive approx. 130 cluster and at that stage we put in the 80 big journals and in the last clustering we receive about 50 clusters. Lastly, we manually put in the missing 2,500 journals in a manual procedure based on subject category. We were wondering if there are any viable alternatives to this methodology or another strategy to achieve clusters (fields) of research communities based on conditions for productivity? If anyone would like to have more substance to this question we have an article Sandstrom, Ulf & Sandstrom, Erik (2007) "A metric for academic performance applied to Australian universities 2001-2004" at the E-LIS archive:http://eprints.rclis.org/. (ID-code: 11776) It should be underlined that in paper we followed a different strategy for clustering of papers compared to the one we propose above. In the paper we used the author behavior over ISI subject codes as ground for clustering. The article is a methodological attempt to show that all necessary information on publication output from universities is already available from the Web of Science. By using what could be called an iceberg methodology we develop productivity figures per university and combines that with field normalized citations rates. The result is a "size-dependent" indicator for universities in a specific country. In order to use the proposed method you will have to decide on a reference base for the country in focus; for Sweden we used the Nordic countries.

At the beginning of the 21st century we witness considerable growth in webometrics, mapping and visualization and open access. A new topic is comparison between citation databases, as a result of the introduction of two new citation databases Scopus and Google Scholar. There is renewed interest in indicators as a result of the introduction of the h-index. Traditional topics like citation analysis and informetric theory also continue to develop. The impact factor debate, especially outside the informetric literature continues to thrive. Ranked lists (of journal, highly cited papers or of educational institutions) are of great public interest.

An Exploratory Link Analysis by Mike Thelwall Message-ID: How are Social Network Sites Embedded in the Web? An Exploratory Link Analysis Mike Thelwall Cybermetrics, Vol.12 (2008): Issue 1. Paper 1 http://www.cindoc.csic.es/cybermetrics/articles/v12i1p1.pdf Abstract Social networking sites like MySpace represent a new and powerful communication technology, rivalling even commercial search engines in terms of total visits. There is hence a need to understand how these sites relate to the rest of the Web. For this study, links to the U.S. top twenty social network sites were gathered from commercial search engines and investigated using an information science link analysis. Quantitative methods were used to compare counts of links to the sites, associated top-level domains, and common sources and types of links. The results showed that social network sites were embedded significantly differently in the Web in terms of national and education-related profiles of links in the Web as well as the total number of links. Although only 13% of links targeted useful information or discussion, this still represents a large number of information-related links. Social networks also attracted marketing attention from the entertainment industry, with links to fan sites and groups being common, and commercial links representing about a third of all links. In conclusion, although often designed primarily for socialising, social network sites are a complex and evolving phenomenon that support information provision to some extent, and can support new forms of discussion, marketing and customer connections. -- **************************** Isidro F.

China's performance in science is also impressive. The exponential growth of Chinese scientific publications provides evidence. However, statistical results about China's world share of scientific publications provided by different institutions and researchers have been in disagreement. With the data for 2007 being now available, we provide an update on this issue and conclude that China has become the second largest producer of scientific publications since 2006.

In the present article, we aim to establish an intellectual panorama of Terminology-in which we depict the outstanding developments in research and the most influential authors. To do so, we analyze periodical publications that have appeared over a wide period of time. Author Citation Analysis (ACA) and the visual representation of the relationships between authors through social networks (specifically, pathfinder networks) is based on the premise that links are necessarily established between the authors cited in any specific work so that greater frequency of co-ocurrence indicates a stronger affinity between authors. Among other findings, our results show that the group of most frequently cited authors represents less than 1% of the total and that only 12% of authors have published three or more articles. Moreover, we can confirm that research in Terminology is developing in three clearly differentiated directions: theoretical foundations, Natural Language Processing and Socioterminology.

Title: The importance of being first: Position dependent citation rates on arXiv : astro-ph Source: PUBLICATIONS OF THE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF THE PACIFIC, 120 (864): 224-228 FEB 2008 Language: English Document Type: Article Abstract: We study the dependence of citation counts of e- Prints published on the arXiv:astro-ph server on their position in the daily astro-ph listing. Using the SPIRES literature database we reconstruct the astro-ph listings from 2002 July to 2005 December and determine citation counts for e- Prints from their ADS entry. We use Zipf plots to analyze the citation distributions for each astro-ph position. We find that e- Prints appearing at or near the top of the astro-ph mailings receive significantly more citations than those further down the list. This difference is significant at the 7 sigma level and on average amounts to 2 times more citations for papers at the top than those further down the listing. We propose three possible nonexclusive explanations for this positional citation effect and try to test them. We conclude that self- promotion by authors plays a role in the observed effect but cannot exclude that increased visibility at the top of the daily listings contributes to higher citation counts as well. We can rule out that the positional dependence of citations is caused by the coincidence of the submission deadline with the working hours of a geographically constrained set of intrinsically higher- cited authors. We discuss several ways of mitigating the observed effect, including splitting astro- ph into several subject classes, randomizing the order of e- Prints, and a novel approach to sorting entries by relevance to individual readers.

Methods: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI) was used to identify the 30 most-published authors in 'cataract' and 'laser in situ keratomileusis' (LASIK) (2000-2004 inclusive). SCI was subsequently used to analyse the recorded articles for each author in terms of source journal, the most commonly cited articles and citation source. Results: Of the 30 most-published authors in the fields of cataract and LASIK, the USA was the most well-represented source country, accounting for 33%; 20% were from Australia, and 17% from Austria. Germany and Japan each contributed 7%. Eighty per cent of the publications produced by these 30 authors (2000-2004) were in 10 journals, of which the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (JCRS) published more than one-third. Of the three most-cited articles for each author, the greatest number were published in JCRS (35.6%). The citation count of the articles had a weak correlation to the journal impact factor of the source journal; however, the self-citation rate of these articles did not. Conclusions: The USA and Australia together were the source of more than half of the most-published authors on cataract and LASIK and the majority of articles published by the 30 most prolific authors were published in only 10 journals. The impact factors of the publication journals preferred by these authors are influenced by the article citation counts, not vice versa.

Methods: References of articles published in 2006 in three selected Pakistani medical Journals were collected and examined. The number of citations for each Pakistani medical journal was totalled. The first ranking of journals was based on the total number of citations; second ranking was based on impact factor 2006 and third ranking was based on the 5-year impact factor. Self-citations were excluded in all the three ratings. Results: A total of 9079 citations in 567 articles were examined. Forty- nine separate Pakistani medical journals were cited. The Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association remains on the top in all three rankings, while Journal of College of Physicians and Surgeons-Pakistan attains second position in the ranking based on the total number of citations. The Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences moves to second position in the ranking based on the impact factor 2006. The Journal of Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad moves to second position in the ranking based on the 5- year impact factor. Conclusion: This study examined the citation pattern of Pakistani medical journals. The impact factor, despite its limitations, is a valid indicator of quality for journals.

The complete link cluster method was on theoretical grounds assumed to provide a suitable cluster method for this purpose. The objective of the study was to evaluate the proposed method's capability to identify coherent research themes. Applying a large multidisciplinary test bed comprising more than 600,000 articles and 17 million references, the proposed method was tested in accordance with two lines of mapping. In the first line of mapping, all significant (strong) links connecting 'core documents' (strongly and frequently coupled documents) in clusters with any other core document was mapped. This resulted in a depiction of all significant artificially broken links between core documents in a cluster and core documents extrinsic to that cluster. The second line of mapping involved the application of links between clusters only. They were used to successively merge clusters on two subsequent levels of fusion, where the first generation of clusters were considered objects for a second clustering, and the second generation of clusters gave rise to a final cluster fusion. Changes of cluster composition on the three levels were evaluated with regard to several variables. Findings showed that the proposed method could provide with valid depictions of current research, though some severe restrictions would adhere to its application. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

The method put forward aimed at the generation of cognitive cores of documents, so- called 'bibliographic cliques' in the network of bibliographically coupled research articles. The defining feature of these cliques is that they can be considered complete graphs where each bibliographic coupling link ties an unordered pair of documents. In this way, it was presumed that coherent groups of documents in the research front would be found and that these groups would be intellectually coherent as well. Statistical analysis and subject specialist evaluations confirmed these presumptions. The study also elaborates on the choice of observation period and the application of thresholds in relation to the size of document populations. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We performed a full text search of the 1st-ranked journal in 2004 JCR category "Medicine, General and Internal" (New England Journal of Medicine, NEJM, IF = 38.570) and 61st-ranked journal (Croatian Medical Journal, CMJ, IF = 0.690), 1st-ranked journal in category "Multidisciplinary Sciences" (Nature, IF = 32.182) and journal with a relative rank of CMJ (Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, AABC, IF = 0.435). Large journals published more items categorized by Web of Science (WoS) as non-research items (editorial material, letters, news, book reviews, bibliographical items, or corrections): 63% out of total 5,193 items in Nature and 81% out of 3,540 items in NEJM, compared with 31% out of 283 items in CMJ and only 2 (2%) out of 126 items in AABC. Some items classified by WoS as non-original contained original research data (9.5% in Nature, 7.2% in NEJM, 13.7% in CMJ and none in AABC). These items received a significant number of citations: 6.9% of total citations in Nature, 14.7% in NEJM and 18.5% in CMJ. IF decreased for all journals when only items presenting original research and citations to them were used for IF calculation. Regardless of the journal's size or discipline, publication of non-original research and its classification by the bibliographical database have an effect on both numerator and denominator of the IF equation.

We introduce a new clustering algorithm, Streemer which finds cohesive foreground clusters embedded in a diffuse background, and use it to identify knowledge communities as foreground clusters of papers which share common citations. To analyze the evolution of these communities over time, we build predictive models with features based on the citation structure, the vocabulary of the papers, and the affiliations and prestige of the authors. Findings include that scientific knowledge communities tend to grow more rapidly if their publications build on diverse information and if they use a narrow vocabulary.

The mutual information among the three contexts (wealth generation, knowledge production, and political control) provides us with an indicator of the knowledge base as a latent structure of a political economy. This structure potentially reduces uncertainty. Using the theory of anticipatory systems, reduction of uncertainty can also be considered as anticipatory capacity. In the computation of anticipatory systems, one distinguishes between weak and strong anticipation. A social system composed of three or more asynchronous selection environments can be expected to generate ranges of options ("horizons of meaning") which in combination with informed decision-making by reflexive agency shape a strongly anticipatory system, that is, a system which co-constructs its own future states. Technological interventions in the natural system take place at specific moments in time, but build upon one another along historical trajectories. The trajectories can be considered as retention mechanisms that enable us to reach new positions from which new possibilities can be envisaged. The communicative competencies of the carriers of the differentiated communication systems, that is, their capacity to translate among horizons of meaning, limit the further development of the knowledge base of an economy historically. click here for pdf _____ Loet Leydesdorff Amsterdam School of Communications Research (ASCoR) Kloveniersburgwal 48, 1012 CX Amsterdam loet at leydesdorff.net ; http://www.leydesdorff.net/ Visiting Professor 2007-2010, ISTIC, Beijing; Honorary Fellow 2007-2010, SPRU, University of Sussex Now available: The Knowledge-Based Economy: Modeled, Measured, Simulated, 385 pp.; US$ 18.95; The Self-Organization of the Knowledge-Based Society ; The Challenge of Scientometrics -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
