However, due to the flood of publications, obtaining a comprehensive view even on a topic of limited scope, from a stack of publications is becoming an arduous task. Examples are presented from our recent experiences in the materials science field, where information is not shared among researchers studying different materials and different methods. To overcome the limitation, we propose a structured keywords method to reinforce the functionality of a future e- library.

Methods: Top-cited EM articles in 9 EM journals were identified by searching the computerized database of the Science Citation Index Expanded and the Web of Science (1972 to present). Median citation numbers, authors' nationalities, publication year, and fields of study were described and discussed. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare groups. Results: All top-cited articles were published during 1972 and 2002. We identified 100 top-cited articles published in 6 EM journals, led by Annals of Emergency Medicine (66) and American Journal of Emergency Medicine (22). Toxicology, traumatology, resuscitation medicine, and cardiovascular medicine were the primary focus of study. The median citation number for these top-cited articles was 102 (range, 71-335). Conclusion: Our analysis gives an encyclopedic review of citation frequency of top-cited articles published in EM journals, which may provide information for those who want to find the history, evolution, and areas of high-impact research activities of EM.

All four major journals in this subject area only, and with a published IF, were included in the study. Latest published IF dated 2004 was chosen, and all articles related to its calculation were accessed and classified into four levels of evidence. Correlation between levels of evidence and IF was investigated and the pattern of publications was described. All eligible 932 published articles were analysed. None (0%) were level I evidence, 20 (2%) were Level 11, 70 (8%) level III and 337 (40%) level IV; 465 (50%) articles were classified as non-evidence. IF ranged from 0.689 to 1.154. There were statistically significant correlations between levels of evidence and IF (rho = 1.0, P < 0.01). Among the 465 non-evidence articles, there were 219 (47%) case reports, 91 (20%) animal studies, 52 (11%) laboratory studies, 35 (8%) technical notes, 24 (5%) tutorial articles, and 16 (3%) reviews articles.

Study design: Scientific articles published during the years 1980-2003 covered by the Journal Citation Report (JCR) were considered, with a focus on the impact factor (IF), authors' origin, journal country and publishing language. Results: In 2003. there are 53 journals listed by the JCR for the field category 'obstetrics and gynecology', with altogether 3201 publications listed in the Science Citation Index (SCI). From the year 1980, the total number of publications increased persistently. Looking at the top 20 journals in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, there are 12 journals from the US, 8 from Europe. None of these journals has an IF > 10 but 30 journals show an IF > 1. Over the last 25 years, a growing importance of the English language as scientific language can be observed. Conclusion: These data indicate an important role of European research in the field of obstetrics and gynecology comparable to that of US-American research. The English language is gaining importance as scientific language, displacing other languages and contributing to a loss of impact of non-English journals. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Subjects attached to records representing cited works are compared to subjects attached to records representing the original citing sources, and to the subjects yielded by chasing see-also references from the latter group of headings. Original citing sources were yielded via a subject-list search in a library catalog using the subject heading "Language and languages - Origin." A subject-search was employed to avoid subjectivity in choosing sources. References from the sources were searched in OCLC where applicable, and the subject headings were retrieved. The subjects were ranked first by number of citations from original sources, then by total citation-frequency. The results were tiered into four groups in a Bradford-like distribution. A similar rank and division was performed on the subjects representing the original citing sources, and those yielded by chasing see-also references. Both in terms of subject frequency and topic type, positive comparisons between citation-chasing and see-also references show a confirmation of different methods of yielding alternative subjects. Exclusive results suggest potential mutual complementary value among these different methods.

It extends that analysis by examining the citations (n = 10,065) given in the articles, in particular the patterns of co-citation. This enables a clearer identification of the tribes or communities of practice that occupy the territory of higher education research. An attempt is be made to identify the key members of these tribes or communities, and to chart the key relationships within and between them.

This article describes Hirsch's h index as a measure of researchers' scientific productivity and quality, examining its convergent validity with other productivity and quality measures (total citations, maximum citation, sexennials, years since earning Ph.D., and years as a full professor). It shows the distribution of the index among Spanish Social Psychology professors, and a comparison is made among the ten professors with highest h index of the six knowledge areas into which academic Psychology is divided in Spain. The results show that the index largely correlates with the citations but only very modestly with the number of sexennial investigations. The distributions by areas show that Psychobiology and Basic Psychology, as a whole, have a higher It index than the other areas, with Social Psychology in fourth place, Lastly, we discuss the implications of these results and we offer some recommendations for using the index in academic and research decision making.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Articles reporting smoking research by authors from 2 or more Spanish medical centers between 1999 and the end of 2003 were identified through the Science Citation Index. The network of collaboration behind the research was analyzed and the most important measures of centrality were compared. To display the data, scientometric maps were constructed using UCINET and NETDRAW network analysis tools. RESULTS: Thirty-five Spanish medical centers (29 hospitals and 6 health care clinics) in 8 autonomous communities were involved in 21 collaborative research projects. Hospital de La Princesa was the network core institution with the highest degrees of nodal (16), closeness (88.66), and betweenness (39) centrality. Other core nodes in the network were the following hospitals: de Cruces, San Pedro de Alcantara, La Paz, Vall d'Hebron, and General Yague. The autonomous communities of Castile and Leon, Madrid, and Catalonia were assigned positions at the core of the intercommunity collaborative network based on coauthorship of scientific papers shared among their medical centers. CONCLUSIONS: Network analysis helps identify the most influential institutions in a scientific community that generates coauthored articles in the field of smoking research. Hospital de la Princesa had the highest measures of centrality. The autonomous communities of Castile and Leon, Madrid, and Catalonia form a highly connected, cohesive subgroup within the network.

This study is aimed at studying the scientific information used in the Revista Espanola de Salud Publica based on the references cited in the original articles published during the 1991-2000 period. Methods: The data regarding the year and where published, document type, language and country in which published was taken from the reference sources listed in the 290 original articles published, the obsolescence, Price and,isolation indexes being calculated, and the Bradford core distribution being established according to the source journals. The self- citing rate was also calculated. Results: A total of 7,465 references were cited in the Reference section of the 290 original articles. An average of 25.7 references were cited per article. The Price index was 40.7. The scientific articles showed an obsolescence index of 5, the books and book chapters having an index of 6. A total 50.6% of the citations were from studies published in Spanish. The isolation index of the references was 48.1. The first Bradford core is comprised of 10 journals, the first four of which are Spanish. The self- citing rate was 3.8%. Conclusions: The information consumption of the original articles published in the Revista Espanola de Salud Publica show parameters similar to those of other Spanish health sciences journals for those same years, and the parameters regarding which this Journal differs from other Spanish health sciences journals seem to, be justified by those particular aspects unique to public health, which does not fall within the patterns inherent to the clinical disciplines.

Methods of complex networks theory, statistics, and queueing theory are used in this study. As a subject of the analysis we have chosen the journal "Condensed Matter Physics" (http://www.icmp.lviv.ua). In particular, based on the statistical data regarding the papers published in this journal since its foundation in 1993 up to now we have composed the co-authorship network and extracted its main quantitative characteristics. Further, we analyse the priorities of scientific trends reflected in the journal and its impact on the publications in other editions (the citation ratings). Moreover, to characterize an efficiency of the paper processing, we study the time dynamics of editorial processing in terms of queueing theory and human activity analysis.

Our findings shed new and mixed light on the citation process. Although our study reveals that citations are not allocated on a purely universalistic basis, it nevertheless suggests that universalistic characteristics dominate particularistic ones. As such, our results support the idea that individuals can positively influence their prospects of producing influential work by focusing on the basics of the scientific method, from start (idea generation) to finish (presentation of ideas). These are factors that other researchers (as well as the present study) have found to influence the likelihood of placing work in high-quality journals? which, our results suggest, further increases the likelihood of strong article impact. Overall, then, we view our results as suggesting that the knowledge dissemination process is working largely as it should with respect to journal placement. Although the process does not operate without error, universalistic characteristics do appear to meaningfully outweigh particularistic ones. On the other hand, the average article clearly gets a citation boost from appearing in a highly cited journal? a boost that may have far less to do with the quality of the article itself than with the signaling power of the journal and the time limitations of busy scholars. In turn, this boost causes a host of subsidiary inefficiencies, such as excessive submissions to a small set of journals, wasted time for authors who go through many rounds of revisions (often at many journals), and difficulties for highquality niche journals and journals that for one reason or another do not make particular lists that matter to academic departments and business periodicals. These are systemic effects that reach far beyond the confines of the journal review process.

Please also distribute the call for contributions to your colleagues and to relevant email lists. #### Workshop 11: Profiling UK e-Research: Mapping Communities and Measuring Impacts (http://www.allhands.org.uk/2008/programme/workshop11.cfm) Organiser(s) Rob Procter, Alex Voss and Peter Halfpenny, National Centre for e-Social Science, University of Manchester The main objective of the workshop is to bring together members of the e-Research, innovation studies and science policy communities to explore the challenge of measuring the impact of the recent wave of innovations in research methods and infrastructure fostered by initiatives such as the UK e-Science programme, and the lessons for science and innovation policy-making. Researchers from a range of disciplines have accumulated a stock of knowledge that can be brought to bear on this challenge and we invite contributions that will help to operationalise this knowledge. The workshop will consist of a small number of invited talks, presentations and a discussion session. Confirmed participants include Prof Jakob Edler (PREST, Manchester Business School), Ken Guy (ex SPRU, Technopolis). Call for contributions As e-Research technologies and methods mature, we need to consider how they become a core part of scientific practice if they are to fulfil their potential. In order to achieve this aim, we need to understand the mechanisms which influence adoption and appropriation. We also need to be able to gather reliable evidence of uptake, measure impact on research practice and wider society, evaluate programmes intended to facilitate research innovation and create an evidence-base for future science policy-making. Evaluating the impact of research is difficult. New findings and methods take time to enter the public domain and their significance may only become clear much later. This limits the capacity of metrics, such as citations, to document scientific impact within relatively short timescales. Similarly, evaluating wider impact of research programmes on, for example, industry, the economy and competitiveness is fraught with difficulties. There are also fundamental questions that need to be addressed concerning what kinds of impact should be included. Comparisons of different science policies and national contexts can help understand more about the interplay between different factors in the research innovation process and thus increase the capacity to shape the future direction of e-Research investments and ways to make e Research sustainable in the long term. We invite contributions on the following topics: * Mapping e-Research: projects, disciplines, structure, processes, outputs * Case studies of impact * Types of impact and their metrics * Data collection, including qualitative and quantitative * Data analysis, including impact models, methodologies and tools * Theories and models of innovation * Science policy evaluation * Lessons from international comparisons and past innovation programmes For details of submission procedures for workshop abstracts (one page A4 max), please see http://www.allhands.org.uk/2008/programme/call.cfm Please contact Rob Procter (rob.procter at manchester.ac.uk) if you are interested in participating as soon as possible and before May 15. #### ********************************************* Franz Barjak School of Business University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland Riggenbachstrasse 16 CH-4600 Olten Switzerland E-mail: franz.barjak at fhnw.ch p. +41 62 287 7825, fax: +41 62 287 7845 ********************************************* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Title: Citation analysis of the most influential authors and ophthalmology journals in the field of cataract and corneal refractive surgery 2000-2004 Source: CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL OPHTHALMOLOGY, 36 (1): 54-61 JAN-FEB 2008 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: cataract; citation analysis; journal impact factor; ophthalmology publication; refractive surgery Keywords Plus: IMPACT-FACTOR; INTRAVITREAL TRIAMCINOLONE; MICROVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS; MACULAR EDEMA; ASSOCIATION; SCIENCE; PRODUCTIVITY; INDEXES; QUALITY; LASIK Abstract: Purpose: To identify the most published authors on the topics of 'cataract' and 'LASIK', the journals in which they publish, and the citation patterns of the most-cited articles by these authors over a 5- year publication period. 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.

The digital age has provided unprecedented mechanisms to enhance the delivery of science to the world. The marketplace of scientific publishing is a rapidly shifting mosaic of challenges and opportunities, and the responses of nonprofit and commercial publishers vary widely, but their outcomes are still uncertain. The response of the American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) provides an example of how a relatively small society has altered its scientific delivery to enhance member benefits while attempting to sustain its economic viability. Since 2000, ASM has moved from a self-publishing, break-even, print-only model to a copublishing agreement with a commercial publisher (Alliance Communications Group, a division of Allen Press, Inc., Lawrence, Kansas), which now offers members various print and electronic options and generates a shared royalty. Although it is too early to gauge the economic impact of these changes, the ASM leadership clearly attempted to signal its desire for members to view their society as a package of opportunities for edification and involvement rather than just a provider of serial subscriptions. Future challenges facing nonprofit scientific societies include open access, fiscal realities, archiving of publications, and scientific and societal impact; future opportunities include a strengthening of member responsibilities and professionalism, development of data registries to enhance scientific progress, and bundling of like societies. The manner in which nonprofit scientific societies respond to these challenges and opportunities will no doubt affect their sustainability and future impact.

Between July 1, 2004 and November 9, 2004, we searched the Web of Science (R) for citations in the scientific literature to all 99 plenary-session articles published in the proceedings of the previous nine ISVEEs (or in journal special issues dedicated to the ISVEE plenary articles). We used a 4-year window around the publication of each of the ISVEE proceedings. We located 187 citations for 37 (of the 99) articles. We infer that the ISVEE proceedings represent an important resource for veterinary epidemiology. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The database covers 22 scientific fields and more than 2,600 of among the most highly reputed and cited journals in 2003. We show that (a) for-profit journals charge roughly 3 times more than journals run by scientific societies; (b) the number of citations has a positive impact on prices; (c) there are large differences in prices across fields that vary by a factor between 1 and 6; these are highly (and positively) correlated with the degree of concentration in the industry.

So far, a narrow range of metrics have been applied across the whole of biomedical research. Without specific sets of metrics, appropriate to each sub-field of research, biased assessments of research excellence are possible. Aims To discuss the measures used to evaluate the merits of psychiatric biomedical research, and to propose a new approach using a multidimensional selection of metrics appropriate to each particular field of medical research. Method Three steps: (a) a definition of scientific 'domains', (b) translating these into 'filters' to identify publications from bibliometric databases, leading to (c) the creation of standardised measures of merit. Results We propose using: (a) established metrics such as impact factors and citation indices, (b) new derived measures such as the 'worldscale' score, and (c) new indicators based on journal peer esteem, impact on clinical practice, medical education and health policy. Conclusions No single index or metric can be used as a fair rating to compare nations, universities, research groups, or individual investigators across biomedical science. Rather, we propose using a multidimensional profile composed of a carefully selected array of such metrics.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This bibliometric study was carried out by searching the title field of the Science Citation Index Expanded. Descriptive statistics with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were compiled . RESULTS: Two-hundred ninety-two documents on smoking by Spanish authors were located. The most productive subspecialties; were the group comprised of public health, education and health economics with 57 articles, and areas of the respiratory system, experimental research, and internal medicine with 36 articles each. The journals that published the largest number of articles located were Medicina Clinica, with 35 articles (12%) and Archivos de Bronconeumologia with 20 (6.8%). International collaboration was undertaken with institutions in the United States of America and other European Union countries. The mean (SD) number of citations received was 5.12 (8.6) (range 59-0). Spain contributed 8.34% of the SCI-indexed smoking research overall and 12.85% of SCI-indexed smoking research from the European Union. CONCLUSIONS: Smoking research is developing appropriately in Spain and has high impact, even though output is modest. Factors associated with increased citation are international collaboration, language (being written in English), and having a non-Spanish first author.

Authorship distribution was examined using Lotka's law. Bradford's law of scattering was used to identify core journals. The study identifies active institutions and statewide distributions of Indian AIDS research output. The yearly analysis of data shows that there is a rapid growth of literature from 1992 onwards. Still, in an international sense, relative productivity of India is low and requires more focused research and development. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Data were recorded for rejected or withdrawn manuscripts about the date of submission and decision, category of decision, type of article, manuscript region of origin, alternate journal of manuscript, date of publication, and impact factor and immediacy index of the subsequent journal. Corresponding data were collected from the manuscripts accepted over the same period. The Advanced PubMed online database was searched to determine if the rejected or withdrawn manuscripts were published elsewhere. The impact factor and the immediacy index of the journal of the subsequent journal was then recorded and compared with those of the AJO, using the year 2004 for comparison. center dot RESULTS: Of 2,026 manuscripts submitted, 1,444 were rejected by the AJO or withdrawn by the authors and 50% of these were subsequently published elsewhere in a PubMed listed journal. The rejected or withdrawn articles were typically published in lower impact journals, most commonly in general ophthalmology journals in the author's region or in subspecialty journals, although several were published in higher impact journals. The 727 articles were published in 94 different journals and usually with an extended delay. center dot CONCLUSIONS: Rejection of a manuscript by the AJO does not preclude publication, but rejected manuscripts are published more often in journals that serve a smaller readership and are cited less frequently, although exceptions exist.

It also aims to discuss changes in the discipline's sub-fields and identifies emerging topics. Design/methodology/approach - The paper is an empirical analysis of citations and co-citations from the IJSIM. Network and factor analysis are used to analyse and group the data. The study is unique in performing the analysis at the individual publication level, rather than following the normal aggregated author co-citation analysis method. Research limitations/implications - The study examines only IJISM. Future study on other top journal such as Journal of Service Research would provide a more complete picture on service research. Findings - The study identifies that the core ideas of service research centred on service quality and customer satisfaction. Also identified are periphery areas which may become more significant. Originality/value - The main contribution of this article is the use of the novel network analysis technique to analyze the 15,003 citations in the 435 articles published in IJSIM between 1990-2005. This is a quantitative analysis unlike previous review articles which rely largely on the observations and reflections of pioneering researchers.

Slatten, T (Slatten, Terje); Tronvoll, B (Tronvoll, Bard) Title: Scientific identity in top journals of services marketing: review and evaluation Source: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SERVICE INDUSTRY MANAGEMENT, 19 (1): 134- 147 2008 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: services marketing; publications Keywords Plus: INFORMATION-SCIENCE; QUALITY; DISCIPLINE; RANKING; ECONOMICS; LIBRARY Abstract: Purpose - The objective of the paper is to describe the "scientific identity" of the "top" journals in services marketing by reviewing and evaluating the methodological approaches and the geographical affiliations of authors published in selected journals. Design/methodology/approach - A sample of "top" journals in services marketing is selected on the basis of expert opinion. The selection includes the International Journal of Service Industry Management (IJSIM), the Journal of Services Marketing (JSM), the Journal of Service Research (JSR), Managing Service Quality (MSQ), and the Service Industries Journal (SIJ). The review and evaluation considers all papers (a total of 1,107) published in these journals over a six-year period from 2000 to 2005. The papers are categorized and the geographical affiliations of the authors are noted. The compiled results are analyzed for patterns that reveal the "scientific identity" of each of the selected journals. Findings - The "scientific identities" of JSM and JSR are revealed as being built upon quantitative research designs and the North American paradigm of research values. MSQ and SIJ are found to be largely based upon a mix of empirical research designs and the European paradigm of research values. IJSIM is found to be based on a mix of empirical research designs and a mix of European and North American research values. However, no journal is found to be narrowly focused, and the variety of "scientific identities" among the journals studied here bodes well for ongoing scientific enquiry in services marketing. Research limitations/implications - Further studies of the "scientific identity" of individual research journals are required in other sub- disciplines of marketing. Practical implications - Scholars will benefit from insights into the "scientific identities" of the "top" journals in services marketing. In particular, scholars can note the particular features of individual journals while acknowledging the paradigmatic flexibility and richness of research designs that are present in all of these journals. Originality/value - This is the first review and evaluation of the "scientific identity" of "top" service-marketing journals in terms of categories of papers published and geographical affiliation of published authors. The study provides valuable insights into the nature of academic publishing in the burgeoning area of services marketing.

The most-cited works of the most- cited scholars were also reported. Results obtained in 2000 were compared with previous findings in 1995 and 1990, and with results obtained from analyzing nine journals in 1996-2000. In 2000, the most-cited scholars were Robert J. Sampson in American criminology journals, Francis T. Cullen in American criminal justice journals, John Braithwaite in international criminology journals, and Robert D. Hare in international criminal justice journals. The expansion from nine to twenty journals benefited international scholars such as John Braithwaite and Richard V Ericson and scholars in less mainstream areas such as Murray A. Straus. Overall, Robert J. Sampson was the most-cited scholar in these twenty journals in 2000, compared with Lawrence W. Sherman in 1995 and Marvin E. Wolfgang in 1990. The prevalence of citations (the number of different articles in which a scholar was cited) and specialization (where a scholar's influence was based on one or two highly-cited works) were also studied.

Title: Citation mirages - Bibliometric evaluation of the significance of individual authors' publications Source: HERALD OF THE RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, 76 (6): 530-541 DEC 2006 Language: English Document Type: Article Abstract: An opinion is advanced in the article below that any bibliometric data, including individual article citations, as an independent measure of the scientific significance of a scientist's works, cannot serve as a criterion of the efficiency of these studies or the value of these publications. Scientists across the world have long been questioning the relevancy of using these data. The majority of prominent scientists either express well-founded doubts that it is authentic to use them as an independent criterion or reject them altogether. Although bibliometric data are undoubtedly valuable as an auxiliary evaluation means, they cannot substitute peer reviews based on the analysis of article contents, its contribution to the field in question, and the contribution of the author under review to the subject matter presented in this publication. The author is of opinion that bibliometric data should be an obligatory but not decisive component in the complex system of assessing the creative potential of scientists and the significance of their works.

In this study, we used methods of scientometric analysis to obtain a conceptual network that forms the structure of active scientific research fields in anesthesia. METHODS: We extracted from the Web of Science (R) (Institute for Scientific Information) all original articles (n = 3275) including their references (n = 79,972) that appeared in 2003 in all 23 journals listed in the Institute for Scientific Information journal Citation Reports' under the subject heading "Anesthesiology." After identification of highly cited references (>= 5), pairs of co-cited references were created and grouped into uniformly structured clusters of documents using a single linkage and variable level clustering method. In addition, for each such cluster of documents, we identified corresponding front papers published in 2003, each of which co-cited at least two documents of the cluster core. Active anesthetic research fields were then named by examining the titles of the documents in both the established clusters and in their corresponding front papers. These research fields were sorted according to the proportion of recent documents in their cluster core (immediacy index) and were further analyzed. RESULTS: Forty-six current anesthetic research fields were identified. The research field named "ProSeal laryngeal mask airway" showed the highest immediacy index (100%) whereas the research fields "Experimental models of neuropathic pain" and "Volatile anesthetic-induced cardioprotection" exhibited the highest level of co-citation strength (level 9). The research field with the largest cluster core, containing 12 homogeneous papers, was "Postoperative nausea and vomiting." The journal Anesthesia & Analgesia published most front papers while Anesthesiology published most of the fundamental documents used as references in the front papers. CONCLUSIONS: Using co-citation analysis, we identified distinct homogenous clusters of highly cited documents representing 46 active current anesthetic research fields and determined multiple nets of knowledge among them.

Message-ID: Bias out of the bottle In "Publishing bias out of the bottle," (1) a scientist surveyed the drinking habits and publication records of avian ecologists and evolutionary biologists in the Czech Republic (home to the highest beer consumption rates), and found that the number of papers published, the total number of citations received, and the average number of citations per paper all declined with increased beer consumption. Based on the number of surveys responded, and how the participants were selected, I believe that this report has done nothing better than to increase clicks-per-day for the journal that published the study (Oikos) and some other news agencies. However, it can also serve as a joke to boot sleepy people in the lab. Dzung Le Institute for Agricultural Engineering, Ministry of Agriculture Hanoi, Vietnam webmaster at cynosura.org References 1.

Dolgin, " Publishing bias out of the bottle," The Scientist News Blog, March 18, 2008; The impact of impact factor Re: "A new proposal for citation data," in which researchers propose a new way of evaluating papers, 1 I believe that the impact factor is outdated, and it is open to manipulation. 2 Isn't it grotesque that in today's day and age scientists publish in different journals instead of a single, fully searchable and cross-referenced, peer-reviewed database? If overnight all journals were wiped out and you were king for a day, would you recreate approximately 20,000 different scholarly journals? With today's technology, would you even create two? Bjoern Brembs Freie Universtat Berlin Berlin, Germany bjoern at brembs.net Many scientists dedicate themselves to the impact factor, trying to publish papers with many citations. I think most of them go in a wrong way, focusing on those fields where it is easy to publish papers. In China, this problem is very serious: Professors must have certain papers to be qualified, postgraduates must have papers to graduate, and these papers must have certain citations. I think it is time for a new rule to evaluate researchers' work. Qian Wang Graduate School, Academy of Sciences Beijing, China freehill at 126.com References 1. A.

From loet at LEYDESDORFF.NET Wed May 14 06:49:45 2008 From: loet at LEYDESDORFF.NET (Loet Leydesdorff) Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 12:49:45 +0200 Subject: Preprint version available of "Main-path analysis and path -dependent transitions in HistCiteT-based historiograms" Message-ID: Main-path analysis and path-dependent transitions in HistCiteT-based historiograms JASIST (forthcoming) Diana Lucio-Arias & Loet Leydesdorff Abstract. With the program HistCiteT it is possible to generate and visualize the most relevant papers in a set of documents retrieved from the Science Citation Index. Historical reconstructions of scientific developments can be represented chronologically as developments in networks of citation relations extracted from scientific literature. This study aims to go beyond the historical reconstruction of scientific knowledge, enriching the output of HistCiteT with algorithms from social network analysis and information theory. Using main path analysis, it is possible to highlight the structural backbone in the development of a scientific field. The expected information value of the message can be used to indicate whether change in the distribution (of citations) has occurred to such an extent that a path-dependency is generated. This provides us with a measure of evolutionary change between subsequent documents. The "forgetting and rewriting" of historically prior events at the research front can thus be indicated. These three methods are applied to a set of documents related to fullerenes and the fullerene-like structures of nanotubes. _____ Loet Leydesdorff Amsterdam School of Communications Research (ASCoR) Kloveniersburgwal 48, 1012 CX Amsterdam loet at leydesdorff.net ; http://www.leydesdorff.net/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The creation of the journal lists was proposed for three reasons: to target faculty research as to which journal outlets the College deemed acceptable, to encourage cross- disciplinary research, and to decrease the internal politicizing of the journals themselves. This article discusses the history and use of the lists as well as surveying faculty perceptions. The use of the journal list is imperfect. Faculty seem unclear as to the use of the lists and there does not seem to have been a substantial increase in cross- discipline research. While the tenor of the discussions about the merits of a journal has changed, interdepartmental politicizing of journals continues. Consistency of annual reviews, however, has increased substantially.

In this paper, we explain why we do not find existing IS journal rankings appropriate for the assessment of quality of the publications of our Group. We present a set of lists of internationally recognised outlets that we provide to the committee responsible for promotions decisions in our university and we use to advise junior staff and students on where they should publish their work. In addition to these lists, decisions on research quality in our university require the opinion of specialist experts on both the particular outlet of a publication and the publication itself. We argue for the merits of our research quality assessment approach and reflect on its risks.

Given the intense focus on outcomes evaluation, in a context of increasing 'democratization' of metrics in today's digital world, it is easy to lose focus on the appropriate ways to use these resources, and misuse can result.

From this database we identified 91 journals offering full OA; a further 139 journals offered delayed OA. Data collected at three different time points (January 2006, July 2006, and January 2007) showed that the OA status of these journals is not stable; some OA journals subsequently became non-OA. Most of the Chinese OA journals are not part of a larger aggregation, but are published independently. Relatively more OA journals are published in the fields of medicine and biology. Citation indicators of OA journals were found to be higher than those of non-OA journals.

Title: Important factors when interpreting bibliometric rankings of world universities: an example from oncology Source: RESEARCH EVALUATION, 17 (1): 71-81 MAR 2008 Language: English Document Type: Article Keywords Plus: CITATION Abstract: This paper presents bibliometric characteristics of the 386 most frequently publishing world universities and of a (partly overlapping) set of 529 European universities. Rather than presenting a ranking itself, it presents a statistical analysis of ranking data, focusing on more general patterns. It compares US universities with European institutions; countries with a strong concentration of academic research activities among universities with nations showing a more even distribution; a ranking of universities based on indicators calculated for all research fields combined with one compiled for a single field (oncology); general with specialised universities; and rankings based on a single indicator with maps combining social network analysis and a series of indicators. It highlights important factors that should be taken into account in the interpretation of rankings of research universities based on bibliometric indicators. Moreover, it illustrates policy-relevant research questions that may be addressed in secondary analyses of ranking data. In this way, this paper aims at contributing to a public information system on research universities.

Design Retrospective analysis of IF data from ISI Web of Knowledge Journal Citation Reports-Science Edition, 1994 to 2005, and interviews with Editors-in-Chief. Setting Medical journal publishing. Participants Ten Editors-in-Chief of the journals, except Med J Aust, who served between 1999 and 2004. Main outcome measures IFs and component numerator and denominator data for the seven general medical journals (1994 to 2005) were collected. IFs are calculated using the formula: (Citations in year z to articles published in years x and y)/(Number of citable articles published in years x and y), where z is the current year and x and y are the previous two years. Editors' views on factors that had affected their journals' IFs were also obtained. Results IFs generally rose over the 12-year period, with the N Engl J Med having the highest IF throughout. However, percentage rises in IF relative to the baseline year of 1994 were greatest for CMAJ (about 500%) and JAMA (260%). Numerators for most journals tended to rise over this period, while denominators tended to be stable or to fall, although not always in a linear fashion. Nine of ten eligible editors were interviewed. Possible reasons given for rises in citation counts included: active recruitment of high-impact articles by courting researchers; offering authors better services; boosting the journal's media profile; more careful article selection; and increases in article citations. Most felt that going online had not affected citations. Most had no deliberate policy to publish fewer articles (lowering the IF denominator), which was sometimes the unintended result of other editorial policies. The two Editors who deliberately published fewer articles did so as they realized IFs were important to authors. Concerns about the accuracy of ISI counting for the IF denominator prompted some to routinely check their IF data with SI. All Editors had mixed feelings about using IFs to evaluate journals and academics, and mentioned the tension between aiming to improve IFs and 'keeping their constituents [clinicians] happy.' Conclusions IFs of the journals studied rose in the 12-year period due to rising numerators and/or falling denominators, to varying extents. Journal Editors perceived that this occurred for various reasons, including deliberate editorial practices. The vulnerability of the IF to editorial manipulation and Editors' dissatisfaction with it as the sole measure of journal quality lend weight to the need for complementary measures.

The dynamics of patent citations ECONOMICS LETTERS, 94 (2): 290-296 FEB 2007 Message-ID: E-mail Address: marco at vassar.edu Author(s): Marco, AC (Marco, Alan C.) Title: The dynamics of patent citations Source: ECONOMICS LETTERS, 94 (2): 290-296 FEB 2007 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: patents; patent citations; hazard rate; duration Keywords Plus: COMPETITION; SPILLOVERS; KNOWLEDGE Abstract: The use of patent citations as a measure of patent "quality" increased dramatically in recent years. I estimate the hazard of patent citation, and find evidence of unobserved heterogeneity. Hazard estimation provides a means to separate patent quality from citation "inflation". (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Conclusion: This note shows that there is unobserved heterogeneity in the rate of patent citation, and that individual hazards exhibit positive duration dependence despite the average hump-shaped hazard rate over the age of the patent. The results highlight the need for care in interpreting the marginal effects of forward citations on other variables of interest, such as firm value. At the least they must be interpreted in light of the fact that the citation rate changes over the life of a patent; at best, one would want to model citation dynamics. An alternative would be to include as regressors those factors that influence the rate of forward citations, e.g., the industry or technology group, the year of patent grant, or the observed life of the patent. That approach has two limitations. First, it does not account for the clear non-linearity in citation rates. Second, it does not allow the researcher to separately identify direct effects of patent citations from the independent effects of other regressors, such as industry or technology. Researchers have expressed concern that citation inflation may bias the estimated effect of citations on other variables of interest. Indeed, it is difficult to separate the effects of inflation from those of patent quality. If researchers are able to ascertain those factors that are correlated to citation inflation rather than quality, then hazard estimation suggests the rendering of new metrics for patent quality. By estimating a hazard rate based only on inflationary factors, residuals can be used to measure latent patent quality. For example, the difference between actual citation lags and predicted citation lags may be a better measure of patent quality than simple citation counts. Alternatively, the ratio of observed citations to predicted citations may represent a proxy of patent quality. The advantage of such constructs is that they can be calculated as time-invariant values that are not subject to censoring. Of course, the proposed methods for measuring patent quality are predicated upon a correlation between unobserved heterogeneity in patent citation and patent quality. This is an area left for future research.

However, although the 'pay to publish and read for free' business model of open-access publishing has helped to create a level playing field for readers, it does more harm than good in the developing world... It is easy to guess what else the letter says: That at the prices currently charged by those Gold OA publishers that charge for Gold OA publishing today, it is unaffordable to most researchers as well as to their institutions and funders in India and elsewhere in the Developing World. This is a valid concern, even in view of the usual reply (which is that many Gold OA journals do not charge a fee, and exceptions are made by those that do charge a fee, for those who cannot afford to pay it). The concern is that current Gold OA fees would not scale equitably if they became universal. However, the overall concern is misplaced. The implication is that whereas the user-access-denial arising from the the unaffordability of subscription fees (user-institution pays) is bad, the author-publication-denial arising from the unaffordability of Gold OA publishing fees (author-institution pays) would be worse. But this leaves out Green OA self-archiving, and the Green OA self-archiving mandates that are now growing worldwide. Not only does Green OA cost next to nothing to provide, but once it becomes universal, if it ever does go on to generate universal subscription cancellations too -- making the subscription model of publishing cost recovery unsustainable -- universal Green OA will also by the very same token generate the release of the annual user-institution cancellation fees to pay the costs of publishing on the Gold OA (author-institution pays) cost-recovery model. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmselect/cmsctech/399/399w e152.htm The natural question to ask next is whether user-institution costs and author-institution costs will balance out, or will those institutions that used more research than they provided benefit and those institutions that provided more research than they used lose out? This would be a reasonable question to ask (and has been asked before) http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&q=+site%3Alistserver.sigmaxi.org+ amsci+%22net+provider%22&btnG=Search -- except that it is a fundamental mistake to assume that the *costs* of publishing would remain the same under the conditions of universal Green OA. It is far more realistic to expect that if and when journals (both their print editions and their online PDF editions) are no longer in demand -- because users are all instead using the authors' OA postprints, self-archived in their IRs -- that journals will convert to Gold OA not under the current terms of Gold OA (where journals still provide most of the products and services of conventional journal publishing, apart from the print edition), but under substantially scaled-down terms. Harnad, S. (2007) The Green Road to Open Access: A Leveraged Transition. In: The Culture of Periodicals from the Perspective of the Electronic Age. L'Harmattan, pp. 99-105. http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/15753/ In particular, all the current costs of providing both the print edition and the PDF edition, as well as all current costs of access-provision and archiving will vanish (for the publisher), because they have been off-loaded onto the the distributed network of Green OA IRs, each hosting their own peer-reviewed, published postprints. The only service the peer-reviewed journal publisher will need to provide is peer review itself. That is why Richard Poynder's recent query (about the true cost of peer review alone) is a relevant one. As I have said many times before, based on my own experience of editing a peer-reviewed journal for a quarter century, as well as the estimates that can be made from the costs of Gold OA journals *that provide only peer review and nothing else today*, the costs per paper of peer review alone will be so much lower than the costs per paper of conventional journal publishing today, or even the costs per paper of most Gold OA publishing today, that the problem of the possibility of imbalance between net user-institution costs and net author-institution costs will vanish, just as the the subscription model vanished. Alma Swan has forwarded the link to a JISC-funded study of such questions being conducted by John Houghton (Australia) and Charles Oppenheim (UK) (in the context of UK research, where there are, I assure you, author-institutions that are every bit as worried about current Gold OA publishing fees as Developing World institutions are) and RIN has released a study: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/programme_rep_pres/economicsscholarlypublishing.aspx Alma also forwarded this study, by RIN: http://www.rin.ac.uk/costs-funding-flows Peter Suber has pointed to Fytton Rowland's 2002 estimates of the cost of peer review alone: Rowland, F. The Peer Review Process. Learned Publishing, 15(4) 247-58. http://www.jisc.ac.uk/uploaded_documents/rowland.pdf Peter writes: "Rowland does a literature survey to determine the costs of peer review (see Section 5). He concludes (Section 7) that it's about $200 per submitted paper, or $400 per published paper at a journal with a rejection rate of 50%. "I'm not in a position to vouch for the results, but it's the only paper I've seen trying to answer this narrow question. "Note that the paper came out in 2002 and doesn't reflect the latest generation of journal management software. This matters because steadily improving software (including open-source software) is steadily taking over the clerical chores of facilitating peer review, and thereby reducing its costs." I would add that even at $400 per paper, that would make peer review alone cost only 10% of the average price of $4000 that Andrew Odlyzko estimated was being paid per article in 1997 (i.e., the total collective contribution summed across subscribing institutions) and less than a third of most Gold OA publishing fees per article today.

However, the peer review practices would enable to detect the shortcomings in research papers if documented properly. The review data we have collected do not merely reinforce the faith in the peer review practices but enable to identify the limitations of third world research. The lessons learned from peer review data may help promote science in the third world.

Those seemingly ubiquitous numbers that provide 'impact', 'half life', and 'immediacy indices' appear to dominate discussions within editorial boards and publishing houses intent upon presiding over the most prestigious journals that most forcefully influence international research. Contrary to popular belief, the science of 'bibliometrics' is not new (even though my MS Word UK dictionary does not recognize it!) and did not start with Eugene Garfield and his Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) in Philadelphia in the 1960s. Bibliometrics was conceived in the 1920s with seminal work by Hulme (1923), Lotka (1926) and Gross and Gross (1927) and then lay dormant until "Science since Babylon" and "Little Science, Big Science" by Derek John de Solla Price in 1961 and 1963, respectively. He advocated the use of the Science Citation Index that had originally been developed by Garfield at the ISI in 1955. Using the database at the ISI the Impact Factor (IF) became the tool of the quantitative analysis of supposed quality in scientific publication. The advent of computers and access to large bibliometric databases (Web of Science, Medline, etc.) enhanced the use of bibliometrics to gauge the impact of one's own work and those of one's peers, collaborators, and competitors in the game of science. Bibliometrics is now an accepted and sophisticated science with its own research practitioners or bibliometricians. It also has its target consumers in the form of research scientists, research managers, and those involved in research policy. Conclusion: How are originality, rigour, etc. to be assessed by the panels? By 'peer review based on professional judgement' according to the documentation (RAE 2008, 2006). Lead assessors will be identified within each panel and two sub-panel members will independently evaluate each output and submit their 'quality level scores' (QLS) to the lead member. We do not know how those scores will be arrived at, and call me cynical if you will, but I will be very surprised if the QLS does not correlate highly with journal IF's.

Message-ID: Bias out of the bottle In "Publishing bias out of the bottle," 1 a scientist surveyed the drinking habits and publication records of avian ecologists and evolutionary biologists in the Czech Republic (home to the highest beer consumption rates), and found that the number of papers published, the total number of citations received, and the average number of citations per paper all declined with increased beer consumption. Based on the number of surveys responded, and how the participants were selected, I believe that this report has done nothing better than to increase clicks-per-day for the journal that published the study (Oikos) and some other news agencies. However, it can also serve as a joke to boot sleepy people in the lab. Dzung Le Institute for Agricultural Engineering, Ministry of Agriculture Hanoi, Vietnam webmaster at cynosura.org References 1.

If overnight all journals were wiped out and you were king for a day, would you recreate approximately 20,000 different scholarly journals? With today's technology, would you even create two? Bjoern Brembs Freie Universtat Berlin Berlin, Germany bjoern at brembs.net Many scientists dedicate themselves to the impact factor, trying to publish papers with many citations. I think most of them go in a wrong way, focusing on those fields where it is easy to publish papers. In China, this problem is very serious: Professors must have certain papers to be qualified, postgraduates must have papers to graduate, and these papers must have certain citations. I think it is time for a new rule to evaluate researchers' work. Qian Wang Graduate School, Academy of Sciences Beijing, China freehill at 126.com References 1. A.

We have changed the domain that it is now autonomous from the Universities Ranking one: http://repositories.webometrics.info/ This will allow to be more flexible in the future and to enlarge and diversify the coverage. Now we are ranking the Top 300 instead the first 200 as in the previous edition. New repositories have been added, like PubMedCentral that was missed and others have been deleted because they are not focused on research papers. The most important changes are related to ranking methodology: For the Rich files ranking we are considering only Adobe Acrobat pdf files, as other formats numbers were very low for ranking purposes. For the same reason, only data extracted from Google and Yahoo were considered. Regarding Scholar ranking, it is now build from the mean between the total number of items and those published between 2001 and 2008 to increase the weight of the "freshness". Finally we are suggesting the use of Google Analytics as common minimum standards for obtaining usage data, clearly the weakest point of our current approach.

In this brief communication, the same academics were re-ranked, using other popular citation databases. It was found that for academics who publish more in computer science forums, their h was significantly different due to highly cited papers missed by WoS; consequently, their rank changed substantially. The study was widened to a broader set of UK-based LIS and IR academics in which results showed similar statistically significant differences. A variant of h, h(mx), was introduced that allowed a ranking of the academics using all citation databases together.

Unlike the traditional Journal Impact Factor (JIF), which is based on calculations of publications and citations, the new measure is based on calculations of bibliographic investments (references) and returns (citations). A comparative study of the two measures shows a strong relationship between the 3R and the JIF. Yet, the 3R appears to correct for citation habits, citation dynamics, and composition of document types - problems that typically are raised against the JIF. In addition, contrary to traditional impact measures, the 3R cannot be manipulated ad infinitum through journal self-citations. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

It is the best available measure of journal quality. For calculation of impact factor, we just count the number of citations, no matter howprestigious the citing journal is. We think that impact factor as a measure of journal quality, may be improved if in its calculation, we not only take into account the number of citations, but also incorporate a factor reflecting the prestige of the citing journals relative to the cited journal. In calculation of this proposed "weighted impact factor," each citation has a coefficient (weight) the value of which is 1 if the citing journal is as prestigious as the cited journal; is > 1 if the citing journal is more prestigious than the cited journal; and is < 1 if the citing journal has a lower standing than the cited journal. In this way, journals receiving many citations from prestigious journals are considered prestigious themselves and those cited by low-status journals seek little credit. By considering both the number of citations and the prestige of the citing journals, we expect the weighted impact factor be a better scientometrics measure of journal quality. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

Rovner C&E News May 19, 2008 C& E News May 19, 2008 Volume 86, Number 20 pp. 39-42 The Import Of Impact New types of journal metrics grow more influential in the scientific community Sophie L. Rovner AT ONE POINT in his career, Nobel Laureate Sir Harold W. Kroto was the second most highly cited chemist in Britain-topped only by the University of Southampton's Martin Fleischmann, one of the proponents of cold fusion. Kroto, who codiscovered C60 and is currently a chemistry professor at Florida State University, declines to draw any conclusions from that experience. But given the ultimate fate of cold fusion, the anecdote suggests that citation statistics aren't always a good indicator of scientific excellence. Courtesy of Jorge Hirsch/U of California, San Diego Metric Equalizer Hirsch introduced the h index as a "more democratic assessment of people's research." Still, citation counts are used to rank the performance of individual academic researchers, their departments, and even their universities, and thus they help influence promotion and funding decisions. Citation metrics and other statistics related to usage are also used to evaluate the significance and impact of individual journals. The statistics help librarians select which journals to subscribe to and help authors decide where to submit their manuscripts. The journal impact factor "is probably the most well-established metric that's out there," according to Susan King, senior vice president in the journals publishing group at the American Chemical Society, which publishes C&EN. "Librarians, publishers, authors, and grant-funding bodies all pay attention to the impact factor." Eugene Garfield first introduced the concept of an impact factor in 1955, when he was director of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Since then, ISI, which is now part of Thomson Reuters , has developed dozens of other metrics, including the immediacy index (which indicates how soon after publication a journal's articles are cited on average), the percentage of self-citations by individual authors, and lists of researchers whose papers have received the highest number of citations over the past 10 or 20 years. The impact factor of a journal is calculated by first counting the number of citations received in a given year by items the journal published in the previous two years. That quantity is then divided by the number of articles published in the journal in those two years. Although the impact factor is widely viewed as a general measure of a journal's quality, importance, and influence, it has some drawbacks. "If you look at chemistry journals, quite often articles will be cited long after that two-year period," King says. "Just looking at a relatively narrow window-two years-may not truly capture those journals that have a longer citation half-life." Furthermore, the impact factor measures the average number of citations per article in a given journal. But by itself it does not give a full picture of the underlying data because "citation data tend to be very skewed," says James Pringle, vice president of product development for Thomson Reuters' scientific business. For a given journal over a period of time, he explains, "some papers are very highly cited; other papers are not cited at all." The same goes for an individual author's collection of papers. One way to address this issue is to use other types of measures, such as the h index, Pringle says. "It's a statistical way of showing how many papers within the individual's work rank at a certain level." "The main advantage of the h index is that it is less susceptible to distortions and fluctuations," says Jorge E. Hirsch , a physics professor at the University of California, San Diego, who introduced the h index in 2005 (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2005, 102, 16569). He defines the h index as the maximum number of an author's papers that have been cited at least h times. Other methods continue to emerge. Last year, for instance, University of Washington biologist Carl T. Bergstrom and colleagues proposed the Eigenfactor . This metric, which is calculated by using network theory, ranks journals according to influence. A journal is considered influential if its articles are heavily cited within five years of publication by other influential journals. The Eigenfactor team says the metric measures a journal's importance to the scientific community. The Eigenfactor, h index, and impact factor are all calculated from citations, meaning that an author has to have read an article and then written another article citing the first one. However, readers based in industry "tend to read but not cite because they are publishing patents," King says. "If you've got an applied journal, you may be distressed because it's got a low impact factor. When you look at the usage, however, you may see that it's used very heavily." In that case, even though the journal has a low impact factor, it's actually a very important journal because it's widely used, she says. Such usage is tracked by counting downloads of online documents. A raw usage number isn't all that informative, however. "All other things being equal, a journal that publishes 2,000 articles a year is going to generate significantly more requests for downloads than one that publishes merely 50," says Richard Gedye, research director for the journals division at Oxford University Press in the U.K. A "journal usage factor" that compensates for such differences is under development. He adds that usage factors offer an advantage over citation data in that "usage data are available pretty well from day one of publication." Gedye chairs the Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources group (COUNTER), which was established in 2002 to make sure that publishers, librarians, and others measure usage in a consistent way. COUNTER is working with the U.K. Serials Group , which promotes collaboration on matters related to publishing, and other organizations to develop the usage factor . ACS is among the publishers that are helping scope out parameters for this metric, such as how it should be calculated and what time frame should be used. Gedye says the usage factor will have some similarity to the impact factor. For instance, it might be calculated by taking total usage during period x of articles published during period y, and dividing that number by the total number of articles published during period y. The next stage of the project will test proposals for calculating and auditing the metric with real data provided by publishers, but there are several nuances to consider. "If we want to look at the usage in a given year of articles published in specific other years, then we have to address how we define when an article was published," Gedye says. "Very often an article goes up online months before it appears in a designated issue in print. We have to make sure that we are looking at statistics from when articles originally came online." In addition, the usage factor team is "aiming to compensate, in a way that the impact factor doesn't, for the point in a calendar year when an article is published," Gedye says. "If you are looking at average amounts of downloads per article over a given period of time for articles published in a given year, clearly there's going to be more usage of an article published in January than there is of one published in November," he explains. "So we're looking at average downloads of articles in the first 12 months of their life or the second 12 months of their life, irrespective of when in the year they were published. We feel that will create a more level playing field." The group also wants to avoid "the issue that you get with the impact factor, where some items appear in the numerator but not in the denominator," Gedye says. "For example, the count of citable articles doesn't include letters to the editor, but if a letter to the editor is cited, it counts in the numerator. So if you publish a lot of letters to the editor that are very controversial and interesting, then your impact factor is going to get a bit of a boost." The numerator-denominator discrepancy isn't the only criticism that's lobbed at Thomson Reuters' impact factor. Indeed, the company periodically comes under fire over the accuracy and import of its metrics. For instance, Mike Rossner, executive director of Rockefeller University Press , and colleagues recently took the company to task for what the authors perceive as errors and inconsistencies in its data (J. Cell Biol. 2008, 180, 254, and 2007, 179, 1091). Thomson Reuters posted a rebuttal on its website (scientific.thomsonreuters.com/citationimpactforum/8427045 ). As a general rule, Thomson Reuters' Pringle says, "there's going to be some small percentage of things that need to be corrected," given the tremendous volume of articles the firm analyzes. He adds that the company fixes errors brought to its attention by authors and publishers. Despite the controversies, impact factors and other journal metrics have a wide following in academia. Librarians use impact factors to guide decisions about journals, such as whether to renew a subscription to a particular journal or to subscribe to a new one, ACS's King says. "Librarians are also increasingly using usage, and particularly cost per use, as a means of helping them develop their collections." PUBLISHERS USE several metrics to assess how their journals measure up against competing publications. For example, King evaluates ACS journal performance by impact factors and numbers of manuscripts submitted and articles published. She is also examining the utility of the h index and Eigenfactor for journal evaluation. "I think you want as many tools as possible when you're looking at journals," she explains. King tracks changes over time in the impact factors for ACS journals and their competitors. "If the impact factor of an ACS journal is declining while the other journals in that area are going up," she notes, "I'd want to try and find out why. Has there been some change in the number or types of articles published in a given journal?" For instance, an increase in the number of review articles can boost a journal's impact factor because reviews tend to be cited more heavily than original research articles, she says. On the other hand, if the impact factors of all of the journals in a particular field are dropping, it could indicate that scientific interest in that field is waning, she says. Courtesy of Richard Gedye/Oxford University Press Gedye Thomson Reuters notes that the impact factor must be used judiciously. With this metric, "the object under study is a journal. It's not an individual or a department or a university or a country," Pringle says. Despite the cautions voiced by Thomson Reuters, the impact factor is "used in ways that were never anticipated," Pringle says. "For example, people will take the impact factor of each journal in which someone has published and then come up with a ranking of an individual author on that basis, and the metric was never really intended for that purpose." Just because that author published a paper in a journal with a high impact factor, it would be incorrect to assume that that specific paper would be highly cited, Pringle explains. An individual author's work could be better assessed by summing up the number of citations to each of that scientist's papers. HOWEVER, a low number of citations for an author's work in a particular field doesn't necessarily mean the work is low-caliber. For example, Kroto says the papers describing his most original and intellectually important work garnered few citations, "partly because I left the field and didn't continue to tell people that we started it off." The work, performed at the University of Sussex with John F. Nixon, showed that multiple bonds could be formed between carbon and phosphorus and launched the field of phospha-alkyne and phospha-alkene chemistry, Kroto says. "I doubt whether I would get a citation at all today, although it's a major field of chemistry." "Evaluation, particularly where individuals are involved, has to be done extremely carefully, because one is dealing with people's careers," Pringle says. Thomson Reuters has developed a set of guidelines for using citation analysis to evaluate research. For instance, when analyzing metrics about a particular author, university, or country, it's important to establish appropriate benchmarks against which the scientist or institution can be compared, Pringle says. "If I'm analyzing papers produced by a university within a field, I need to take into account the expected citation rate of papers in that field, in the journals underlying it, in the years in which the articles were produced." Pringle adds, "If I'm a biologist, I would expect to see different levels of citation counts than if I were a chemist or a physicist or an economist" because citation practices vary tremendously across fields. Just how could citation counts be used in chemistry departments? Robin L. Garrell , a chemistry and biochemistry professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, says her department has discussed the value of h indexes in decisions involving promotion to tenure and the hiring of senior faculty. As with other metrics, the h index must be used with care. "It's widely understood that assessing the true impact of work can only be done over a fairly long timeline," Garrell says. "A lot of work might be flashy and get cited right away, but the true value of lots of very high-quality work is only known over time." She says that makes the h index a "questionable parameter to use for people who are at a very early stage in their career or if you are trying to analyze the impact of work that's just been done in the last couple of years, which is typically the case for someone coming up for advancement to tenure. The work may be superb, but the true impact has yet to manifest itself." As a result, Garrell adds, "many people have concluded that the h index is more useful as a retrospective metric, where you're looking at someone at a more advanced stage in their career. You could say, 'This person's work has been cited a lot more than someone else's work, or the individual has a higher h index.' Then the metric has value to people who perhaps aren't in that field," Garrell says. "The fact is, at that point, people in the field really know the substance of the work, so the metric doesn't add much to what they think." When making hiring and promotion decisions, Garrell's department also discusses whether individuals are publishing in the super-high-impact journals. "There are very different feelings among different people about the value of that metric," she says. "Some say that it is absolutely essential for candidates for tenure to have published in Science and Nature. This has been challenged by many people who raise the concern that not all topics are suitable for those magazines," Garrell says. FOR INSTANCE, it would be tough to write up a total synthesis or the development of a theoretical model for the broad readership of Science and Nature, she explains. In addition, neither journal "allows for a full presentation of the results," which can make replication of a reported experiment difficult for other scientists. "So the more traditional journals-many of the high-impact ACS journals, for example-are often more useful to the scholarly community" for advancing science, she says. Furthermore, "I feel that the expectation to publish in Science and Nature potentially disadvantages outstanding scholars whose personal style is just less aggressive," Garrell says. "To get your work in these journals, you may have to communicate with the editorial board and hammer on them." The likelihood that a manuscript will be accepted by Science or Nature can be swayed by factors apart from quality, such as how hot the subject matter is, Garrell says. In addition, "once you start getting into Science and Nature, it's easier to get into Science and Nature. Certain people have published a lot of papers in Science and Nature. Jan Hendrik Sch?n is one," she says, referring to the Bell Labs physicist disgraced for publishing articles based on falsified experimental data (C&EN, Sept. 30, 2002, page 9 ). His papers were later retracted. Hirsch's own troubles with breaking into the ranks of the top-notch journals helped drive his determination to create the h index. "I have had difficulty publishing in very high-impact journals because of the somewhat controversial nature of my research," which questions the conventional theory of superconductivity, he says. "I have had several papers that got published in not-as-high-impact journals and then got lots of citations because after some time people realized that they were good papers. So I partly was motivated by the desire to have more of a democratic assessment of people's research that doesn't depend on whether they got their paper published in a high-impact journal." Hirsch adds that "it's good to have some quantitative parameters" to supplement and validate subjective criteria "when you're thinking of hiring or promoting people." At the same time, he emphasizes that the h index and other quantitative parameters should be "evaluated together with more detailed evidence on the research, on the content of the papers, and on recommendations." "If you've actually gone through that detailed reading of the scholarly work, you might conclude that the metrics don't add much, and so the people who are using them more are the people who can't or won't go through that effort," Garrell says. That might be the case at a university's administrative level. For instance, a dean or other administrator might reject a new hire recommended by a faculty committee because the candidate has a low h index, Hirsch says. Reliance on metrics can arise even at the department level if the department includes professors from a lot of different subdisciplines, "not all of whom would feel competent or interested in reading all the papers by someone who's coming up for promotion," Garrell says. That's why departments solicit the opinions of outside reviewers who can "assess quality and creativity and also whether the work has had or is beginning to have an impact." RUMORS ABOUND that citation metrics play a part in grant allocation. Garrell says she's never observed peer review panels in the U.S. using such metrics when making decisions about awarding grants. But she notes that reviewers do examine the quality and quantity of the investigator's work. Likewise, the U.K.'s national research-funding apparatus currently relies on peer review rather than citation analysis when making grant decisions for its universities and other educational institutions. But that situation is changing. After this year, the next national evaluation of academic research departments in the U.K., known as the Research Excellence Framework, will utilize citation metrics. The Higher Education Funding Council for England , which distributes public money to universities and colleges for teaching and research, is implementing the shift. The new assessment method will be phased in beginning in 2011. Observations drawn from the U.K. experience should help clarify exactly how large a role citation metrics should play in the research sector.

This opinion paper evaluates pros and cons of these two approaches, concluding that they are complementary approaches. Therefore, they should be properly combined and synchronized to form an informative and cost-effective research assessment framework. Conclusion: It is hard to imagine that these findings would have been discovered without bibliometric data. Therefore, I do not think that we should be dogmatically in favor or, or dogmatically against, either of these two approaches to research assessment. Since they are pros and cons as Table 1 points out, they should not be seen as alternatives but rather as complementary approaches that can be used to triangulate with each other. When properly synchronized they may form a cost-effective but informative research assessment framework. There is an obvious need in Finland for a continued meta-analysis of alternative research assessment approaches at a much more detailed level of disciplines, hopefully including the disciplines of computing as own entities.

The focus is on learning whether the widespread perception that behavioral accounting research (BAR) has diminished in significance as a prominent paradigm in the US accounting academy has any validity and to identify whether a new generation of US BAR researchers is emerging to join the academic elite. Based on the characteristics of persons who have appeared as authors five or more times during the study period, it seems that BAR is in recession in shaping the US academic agenda in accounting. The power of successful individuals to shape the academic agenda as evidenced by service on editorial boards of prominent journals is dominated by those individuals who are graduates of a set of elite schools utilizing a neoclassical economics based research paradigm. The power of this group seems to be growing in the US. In spite of the interest in BAR among accounting doctoral students and faculty, it is not a pursuit that now leads to academic status, which, in turn, diminishes its potential contribution towards the shaping of the accounting academic agenda.

Title: Continuing use of print-only information by researchers Source: JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, 95 (1): 83-88 JAN 2007 Language: English Document Type: Article Conclusion: Although the body of research shows that journal users are definitely relying more upon electronic journals and less upon paper journals in the library?s collection, this preference does not seem to be influencing impact factor. The lack of association between changes in impact factor and the format of journals over the years 1993?2003 may demonstrate that researchers are making decisions about which journals to cite based on reasons other than format. However, given the many other competing influences on impact factor, it is unclear whether these findings reflect continued strong use of print journals. They do indicate, however, that the online status of a journal is not sufficient to override all other considerations by researchers when they choose which material to cite.

By requiring well-documented citations and by making it easier to identify where one citation ends and the next one begins, journals can help minimize the number of omitted citations from citation databases. Conclusion:Omission of citations from cited article lists in SCIE records for six chemistry journals was strongly associated with citation attributes. By making it easier to identify where one citation ends and the next one begins, article submission policies and journal editorial policies can help reduce the number of citations SCIE omits from database records. The single best advice to journal editors: allow only one citation per number. Although this practice takes up more space on the printed page, it avoids most of the citation attributes associated with their omission. If more than one citation per number is permitted, then subdividing citations with letters is preferable to commas or semicolons. The second best advice: do not permit citations to refer to the preceding citation by abbreviating author name(s), source title, volume, or year. One final piece of advice: insist that citations in submitted articles be complete and include author, source, complete pagination, and publication year. Journal editors should look to the European Journal of Biochemistry as a model of good citation practice.

This study used new strategies, methods, and technology to examine citation trends and the growth of knowledge in the field of gambling studies. The sample included 2,246 citations that were published between 1903 and 2003. By using multiple keywords to classify each citation into distinct topic areas, this study yielded a more comprehensive analysis than was previously available. The results reveal that gambling-related research has grown at an exponential rate. The most prevalent topics explored within gambling studies citations have been pathology, risk-taking, decision-making and addiction. Between 1999 and 2003, studies addressing epidemiology, drug abuse, comorbidity and neuroscience have become increasingly prevalent. Based on these trends and their implications, this paper provides several recommendations for both future areas of inquiry within the field of gambling studies and better classification techniques for citations within all fields of psychology.

It is important to restrict it to only its appropriate use. The IF can reasonably be useful for evaluating a journal, but even then can be influenced by many factors such as the number of review papers, letters or other types of material published, variations between disciplines, and various biases. The extent to which the IF is appropriate for the evaluation of the quality of an individual, department or institution however, is undoubtedly highly debatable.

The number of citations received is frequently used as an indicator of the value and importance of a patent. However, it takes a long time for a patent to accumulate a large number of citations from later patents. Highly cited patents may well be very old and accordingly may not represent cutting-edge technology. If we can predict the pattern of citations to a patent right after it is granted, the tradability of patents will be greatly enhanced. This paper provides a simple regression model to predict citations to biotechnology patents from the front pages of patent documents. The model can be used as a supplementary evaluation tool in mergers and acquisitions, strategic technology planning, valuation of high-tech firms and R&D performance evaluation.

Hahn* ________________________________ Scholarship in the Digital Age Information, Infrastructure, and the Internet by Christine L. Borgman MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 2007. 360 pp. $35, ?22.95. ISBN 9780262026192. ________________________________ We have now traveled a short distance down the path into what is widely recognized as a paradigm shift in how new knowledge is created and exchanged. Twenty-first century research requires the ubiquity of digital information. We expect the networked environment to house the scientific literature and foster collaboration between researchers on disparate continents. Now primary data are moving into the electronic realm as well, with shared digital data stores from GenBank to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey feeding entire research specialties. While science prospers under the new order, there is much contention over the practices that will determine the ethos of the digital age. What will be the new norms for "sharing" and "access"? The movement of documents and data into a digital realm has placed great strains on the structures supporting the exchange of research knowledge--social structures as well as technologies. Major battles are being fought over such issues as the appropriate intellectual property regime for a digital age. Publishing systems that formerly maximized the exchange of scientific research are becoming, instead, barriers to research distribution. Both issues underlie the recently implemented National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy that requires that articles resulting from NIH funding be deposited in PubMed Central and become available to readers within a year of publication. Such questions extend beyond research reports and publications to touch research data as well. Christine Borgman's Scholarship in the Digital Age: Information, Infrastructure, and the Internet looks across the emerging landscape, identifying key choices and exploring the perspectives of different disciplines. Borgman (a professor in information studies at the University of California, Los Angeles) has been both a keen observer and an active participant in recent shifts to new digital modes of information exchange, keeping an eye as well on the shifting cultures of the scholarly tribes that engage in the research enterprise. She has received several major grants from the National Science Foundation for digital library infrastructure and data management projects and also been active in information policy development. Her previous book, From Gutenberg to the Global Information Infrastructure (1 ), also looked at digital library development, information infrastructure, and information policy issues, but comparing the two books merely reveals how much has changed since the first was published in 2000--both in the external environment, including policy issues, and in understanding the social environment of networked science. A striking feature of Scholarship in the Digital Age is its synthetic approach, integrating policy documents and published scholarship. Borgman lays out the trajectory of change in information exchange with the advent of the digital age, but her main concern is developing "a model of cyberinfrastructure in which scientific databases and digital libraries form an 'information and content layer' above the middleware layer that provides the services and underlying core network technologies." A dichotomy of research data and authored works structures her analysis of this content layer. Drawing on the findings of decades of academic study as well as policy analysis, Borgman characterizes researchers' changing practices for creating and using scholarly works. For scientists with a general interest in this area, the book provides a readable, up-to-date, and well-integrated overview. In contrast to the body of knowledge on the culture and practices of scholarly communication, no such foundational research exists for researchers' use of data. Consequently, Borgman's analysis of the challenges posed by the burgeoning possibilities for building collections of digital research data is her most original and insightful contribution. She demonstrates that, although behaviors regarding publications and data are tightly interconnected, they tend not to be analogous. Even the incentives and disincentives for sharing documents are notably different from those for sharing data. Yet data and documents cannot be treated separately. The problems of connecting the two predate the digital era, but in the dichotomous content layer, the need to create and manage connections between data and documents assumes new prominence despite the inherent challenges. In theory, data can be embedded or co-published with documents, but this is minimally useful. Documents and data rarely exist in a one-to-one relationship. Rather, some documents draw on multiple data sources, and many data sources support multiple documents. These relations negate simplistic solutions such as storing data with individual documents on disparate publisher repositories; they require investment in broadly interactive, network-based solutions. CREDIT: GETTYIMAGES Borgman also devotes substantial attention to researchers' social and cultural practices. Using generalized representations of the sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities, she compares and contrasts communication, research, and data traditions. The sciences serve as a touchstone contextualizing scarcer commentary on the social sciences and the humanities. Inevitably, this approach suffers from overgeneralization at various points, but her analysis of the incentives and disincentives for the scholarly sharing needed to build the content layer is illuminating. Borgman persuasively argues that creating incentives to increase the shared body of content should be an integral part of the investment in developing infrastructure for e-research. This content layer does not simply archive the products of research--it is a key resource for research. Claims for access rights and calls for sharing, she believes, need to pay greater attention to the perspectives of the researchers who create both documents and data. "Open science" has always been essential to the success of the research enterprise, with U.S. policy notable, as Borgman observes, for its enactment of this principle. But openness in the digital age has a more expansive meaning, and the changes needed to honor traditions of open science will be difficult--making some researcher resistance to new norms of openness predictable. Borgman's analysis successfully highlights key barriers to the development of new norms for access and sharing. However, some of the pessimism she expresses for policy strategies has already proven premature, as new policies from the National Institutes of Health and Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences create mandates for public access to research that truly change expectations and incentives.

Title: Modelling of bibliometric approaches and importance of output verification in research performance assessment Source: RESEARCH EVALUATION, 16 (2): 93-105 JUN 2007 Language: English Document Type: Article Abstract: This paper presents a model describing the various possibilities in the application of bibliometric techniques in evaluation processes. The model distinguishes between the goals and functions of a bibliometric analysis, and clearly indicates the limits of the various bibliometric approaches. In the so-called top-down or bottom-up approaches, the importance of verification of publication material is indicated. Another important feature of the paper is the description of the problem of the interpretation of the relationship between on the one hand organizational structures, and on the other hand fields of science, in the light of the two main approaches in bibliometric studies. Finally the paper contains a number of case-study examples of the model described.

In 1987, Garfield introduced the concept of "citation classics" for the best- cited articles. An analysis of top-cited articles coming from journals in the field of occupational medicine (eg, Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health) has not yet been reported. The purpose of this study was to assess whether or not such citation classics exist in this field and to analyze their characteristics. Methods The most frequently cited articles published in the five major journals in occupational medicine were identified using the database of Science Citation Index Expanded. The data were obtained by searching one year and one journal at a time. All of the articles cited more than 100 times were collected and analyzed. Results Among the 15 553 articles published by the five journals since 1949, only 85 articles had been cited more than 100 times. The oldest had been published in 1950 and the latest in 1997. The United Kingdom contributed 28% of the citation classics and the United States or Sweden produced 19%. The most cited article had been cited 979 times. The main topics of articles were metabolism, occupational neoplasms, and work- related musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusions Since the 1980s, Scandinavia and the United States have taken the leadership in the publication of citation classic papers. Nevertheless, according to the level of citations, the influence of literature published in occupational medicine journals remains limited.
