Quality assessment of Spanish scientific journals: analysis of their review processes. PROFESIONAL DE LA INFORMACION 20 (2): 159-164.. Author Full Name(s): Coslado, Maria-Angeles; Lacunza, Izaskun; Ros, German Language: Spanish Document Type: Review Author Keywords: Evaluation; Peer review; Protocols to evaluate; Anonymity; Scientific journals; Referees; Spain; Fecyt Abstract: One of the basic duties of scientific journals is the evaluation of the papers that they publish. The most common practice is peer review, in which several experts determine the reliability of the ideas and results as well as the potential impact on science. Studying the documentation provided by the editors of Quality Assessment of Spanish Scientific Journals, 1st Edition, in 2008, we have analyzed some of the editorial practices in the evaluation process, such as external evaluation, instructions to referees, the existence of protocols to evaluate the articles and anonymity of those involved in the review. The significance of our work is that the evaluation process has been checked independently of what is stated in the journal. We have verified that there is a lack of standardization in the evaluation process, which is symptomatic of the need for deeper professionalization.

DIAGNOSTIC PATHOLOGY 6: art. no.-S26, Suppl. 1. presented at 10th European Congress on Telepathology/4th International Congress on Virtual Microscopy in Vilnius, LITHUANIA, JUL 01-03, 2010. Author Full Name(s): Della Mea, Vincenzo Language: English Document Type: Proceedings Paper KeyWords Plus: PUBLICATION OUTPUT; TELEMEDICINE Abstract: Background: The first appearance of the word "telepathology" in a scientific paper can be tracked down to 1986, in a famous editorial of Ronald Weinstein. Since that paper, research in telepathology grew up developing different subfields, including static and dynamic telepathology and more recently virtual microscopy. The present work attempts an analysis of research in telepathology, starting from the tools provided by bibliometrics. Methods: A query has been developed to extract papers related to telepathology and virtual microscopy, and it has been then submitted to Pubmed by means of Entrez Utilities functions. Results obtained in XML have been processed through ad-hoc developed PHP scripts, in order to extract data on Authors, countries, and keywords. Results: On PubMed, 967 papers related to telepathology and virtual microscopy have been retrieved, which involved 2904 Authors; corresponding authors were from 37 countries. Of those authors, 2213 co-authored just one paper. Papers were published on 344 different journals, of which only 52 from the Pathology field. An analysis of papers per year has been also attempted, that demonstrates variable research output in time. Conclusions: From the proposed analysis, telepathology seems to have been consistently studied, in time, by about 400 researchers, with occasional participation of many other people. Telepathology research seems also to have varied in time, although some peaks in paper publishing are certainly related to the proceedings of the European congress on telepathology series, when they have been published on journals. However, some clear sign appears that suggests research in traditional telepathology, after a peak in 2000, showed some decline until virtual microscopy became mainstream, topic that currently pushes research again. The low number of clinical trials calls for more randomized studies in telepathology, to enable evidence-based application.

Chemical search engines identify and index chemical formulae and chemical names appearing in text documents to support efficient search and retrieval in the future. Identifying chemical formulae and chemical names in text automatically has been a hard problem that has met with varying degrees of success in the past. We propose algorithms for chemical formula and chemical name tagging using Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) that achieve higher accuracy than existing (published) methods. After chemical entities have been identified in text documents, they must be indexed. In order to support user-provided search queries that require a partial match between the chemical name segment used as a keyword or a partial chemical formula, all possible (or a significant number of) subformulae of formulae that appear in any document and all possible subterms (e.g., "methyl") of chemical names (e.g., "methylethyl ketone") must be indexed. Indexing all possible subformulae and subterms results in an exponential increase in the storage and memory requirements as well as the time taken to process the indices. We propose techniques to prune the indices significantly without reducing the quality of the returned results significantly. Finally, we propose multiple query semantics to allow users to pose different types of partial search queries for chemical entities. We demonstrate empirically that our search engines improve the relevance of the returned results for search queries involving chemical entities.

Author Full Name(s): Poomkottayil, Deepak; Bornstein, Michael M.; Sendi, Pedram Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: citation frequency; publication language; impact factor KeyWords Plus: JOURNALS; ENGLISH; RATES Abstract: PRINCIPLES: Citation metrics are commonly used as a proxy for scientific merit and relevance. Papers published in English, however, may exhibit a higher citation frequency than research articles published in other languages, though this issue has not yet been investigated from a Swiss perspective where English is not the native language. METHODS: To assess the impact of publication language on citation frequency we focused on oral surgery papers indexed in PubMed MEDLINE that were published by Swiss Dental Schools between 2002 and 2007. Citation frequency of research papers was extracted from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and Google Scholar database. An univariate and multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the impact of publication language (English versus German/French) on citation frequency, adjusted for journal impact factor, number of authors and research topic. RESULTS: Papers published in English showed a 6 (ISI database) and 7 (Google Scholar) times higher odds for being cited than research articles published in German or French. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that publication language substantially influences the citation frequency of a research paper. Researchers should publish their work in English to render them accessible to the international scientific community.

The objective of this study was to analyze trends and characteristics of papers in the subject category of water resources in the ESI database of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Distributions of document type, language of publication, scientific output, and publication of journals are reported in this article. Five indicators (the number and ranking of total papers, first-author papers, corresponding-author papers, independent papers, and collaborative papers) were applied to evaluate country, institute, and author performances. In addition, the numbers of authors cited, numbers of institutes cited, numbers of countries cited, and numbers of subject areas cited were also used to evaluate ESI papers. Results showed that 265 papers, all written in English, were listed in 27 journals in the field of water resources. A review paper was more likely to be included in the ESI than a research paper. Journal of Hydrology published the most papers. The USA and UK were the two leading nations. ESI papers published in the US were more likely to involve inter-institutional collaboration than papers published in the UK. The University of Arizona was the most productive institute. Some papers that were almost excluded from the ESI database appear to have consistently received annual high frequencies of citation. Perhaps the 10 year criterion for inclusion in the ESI should be reassessed.

Author Full Name(s): Federici, Stefano; Borsci, Simone; Mele, Maria Laura; Stamerra, Gianluca Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Accessibility; Ranking model; Web popularity; Human computer interaction KeyWords Plus: SEARCH ENGINE; SCIENCE Abstract: Using a psychotechnological perspective, this study discusses the current model of information ranking by search engines, based on quantitative Web Popularity (WP), which binds users to a cognitive adaptation to the rank- system restrictions. This phenomenon gives rise to a "rich-get-richer'' effect on the Web. This paper claims that such an effect could be limited or reversed by the introduction of quality factors in ranking, and addresses the case of accessibility as a fundamental such factor. A study is reported which, through introducing an accessibility factor in a well-known popularity ranking algorithm, demonstrates that this transformation allows a qualitative rearrangement, without modifying or weighing on the properties of the rank. The overall approach is grounded on two development factors: the analysis of accessibility through specific tools and the employment of this analysis within all components used to build up the ranking. The results show that it is important to reconsider WP as including not only on the number of inbound and outbound links of a website, but also on its level of accessibility for all users, and on users' judgment of the website use as efficient, effective, and satisfactory.

So much for the two-year limit imposed by the impact factor. Stephen J. Bensman LSU Libraries Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, LA 70803 USA THE BREAKTHROUGH Fisher's linkage of the Lexis Ratio to Pearson's chi-squared test of goodness of fit through degrees of freedom marked the end of the theoretical isolation of the British and Continental schools of statistics from each other. From a certain perspective, this was inevitable, because both schools were groping toward the same goals. In the "Historical Note," which Fisher (1970) added to the later editions of his textbook, he pointed out that the chi-squared distribution originated with the German geodesist, Friedrich Robert Helmert, and was "rediscovered" (p. 22) by Pearson. Pearson (1931) himself in an editorial gave priority to Helmert, suggesting the distribution should be referred to as "Helmert's Equation" (p. 418). It appears to be another case of Stigler's Law of Eponymy, by which "No scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer" (Stigler, 1980, p. 147; 1999, p. 277). Fisher's breakthrough enabled the integration of Lexian statistics into British biometrics. One of the most important elements of this integration was the incorporation of the Poisson process, which had been pioneered by Lexis' student, Bortkiewicz, for his law of small numbers on the basis of the rate soldiers were kicked to death by horses in the Prussian Army. Here it might be pointed out that British readers-and, from personal experience, others still today-find Bortkiewicz's example horribly funny. Thus, Keynes (1922) commented upon Bortkiewicz's law, "It is startling and even amusing to be told that horses kick cavalrymen with the same sort of regularity as characterises the rainfall" (p. 405). As a result of Fisher's breakthrough, the way was now open for the development and testing of the stochastic models that provide the framework for the probability structure of scientific information. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The purpose of this study was to examine articles in ISI-ranked nursing journals and to analyse the articles and journals, using definitions of international and article content. Background. Growing emphasis on global health includes attention on international nursing literature. Contributions from Latin America and Africa have been reported. Attention to ranked nursing journals to support scholarship in global health is needed. Method. Using an ex post facto design, characteristics of 2827 articles, authors and journals of 32 ranked nursing journals for the year 2005 were analysed between June 2006 and June 2007. Using definitions of international and of article content, research questions were analysed statistically. Findings. (a) 928 (32 center dot 8%) articles were international; (b) 2016 (71 center dot 3%) articles were empirical or scholarly; (c) 826 (89 center dot 3%) articles reflecting international content were scholarly or empirical; (d) among international articles more were empirical (66 center dot 3% vs. 32 center dot 8%; chi 2((1)) = 283 center dot 6, P < 0 center dot 001); (e) among non-international articles more were scholarly (29 center dot 9% vs. 22 center dot 7%; chi 2((1)) = 15 center dot 85, P < 0 center dot 001; 22 center dot 7%); (f) 1004 (78 center dot 0%) articles were international, based on author characteristics; (f) 20 (62 center dot 5%) journals were led by an international editorial team; and (g) international journals had more international articles (3 center dot 6% vs. 29 center dot 2%; chi 2((1)) = 175 center dot 75, P < 0 center dot 001) and higher impact factors than non-international journals (t = -14 center dot 43, P < 0 center dot 001). Conclusion. Articles with empirical content appear more frequently in international journals. Results indicate the need to examine the international relevance of the nursing literature.

SI MAY-JUN 2011 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: bibliometrics; journal impact factors; occupational therapy; publications KeyWords Plus: OCCUPATIONAL-THERAPY; H-INDEX; CITATIONS Abstract: Journal quality metrics (also referred to as bibliometrics), such as impact factors, are increasingly being used as a measure of researchers' and educators' success and prestige. Occupational therapists who submit articles to peer-reviewed journals may face a professional and research dilemma: Do they submit their articles to journals that largely have a professional audience and potentially do not have an impact factor, or do they opt not to publish their research material in occupational therapy oriented journals? Occupational therapy authors can consider other journal quality metric alternatives, in addition to the impact factor option, including the Eigenfactor Score, Article Influence Score, h-index, SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), Source Normalised Impact per Paper (SNIP), and discipline-specific generated journal quality measures. These other journal quality metrics can be important reference points for occupational therapists who publish and m! ay encourage authors to publish in journals relevant to the discipline. This process, in turn, will build the occupational therapy body of knowledge as well as provide an essential, growing reference source for evidence-based practice.

Despite the large variety of methods proposed to detect communities in graphs, there is a big need for multi-purpose techniques, able to handle different types of datasets and the subtleties of community structure. In this paper we present OSLOM (Order Statistics Local Optimization Method), the first method capable to detect clusters in networks accounting for edge directions, edge weights, overlapping communities, hierarchies and community dynamics. It is based on the local optimization of a fitness function expressing the statistical significance of clusters with respect to random fluctuations, which is estimated with tools of Extreme and Order Statistics. OSLOM can be used alone or as a refinement procedure of partitions/covers delivered by other techniques. We have also implemented sequential algorithms combining OSLOM with other fast techniques, so that the community structure of very large networks can be uncovered. Our method has a comparable performance as the best existing algorithms on artificial benchmark graphs. Several applications on real networks are shown as well. OSLOM is implemented in a freely available software (http://www.oslom.org), and we believe it will be a valuable tool in the analysis of networks.

Author Full Name(s): Reich, Nicholas G.; Perl, Trish M.; Cummings, Derek A. T.; Lessler, Justin Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: INFLUENZA Abstract: Simply by repetition, medical facts can become enshrined as truth even when there is little empirical evidence supporting them. We present an intuitive and clear visual design for tracking the citation history of a particular scientific fact over time. We apply this method to data from a previously published literature review on the incubation period of nine respiratory viral infections. The resulting citation networks reveal that the conventional wisdom about the incubation period for these diseases was based on a small fraction of available data and in one case, on no retrievable empirical evidence. Overall, 50% of all incubation period statements did not provide a source for their estimate and 65% of original sources for incubation period data were not incorporated into subsequent publications. More standardized and widely available methods for visualizing these histories of medical evidence are needed to ensure that conventional wisdom cannot stray too far from empirically supported knowledge.

Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: QUANTITATIVE-ANALYSIS; DATABASE; TRIALS; PEDRO; REHABILITATION; PHYSIOTHERAPY; CITATION; REVIEWS Abstract: Background. Recent evidence demonstrates growth in both the quality and quantity of evidence in physical therapy. Much of this work has focused on randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews. Objective. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric assessment of Physical Therapy (PTJ) over the past 30 years to examine trends for all types of studies. Design. This was a bibliometric analysis. Methods. All manuscripts published in PTJ from 1980 to 2009 were reviewed. Research reports, topical reviews (including perspectives and nonsystematic reviews), and case reports were included. Articles were coded based on type, participant characteristics, physical therapy focus, research design, purpose of article, clinical condition, and intervention. Coding was performed by 2 independent reviewers, and author, institution, and citation information was obtained using bibliometric software. Results. Of the 4,385 publications identified, 2,519 were included in this analysis. Of these, 67.1% were research reports, 23.0% were topical reviews, and 9.9% were case reports. Percentage increases over the past 30 years were observed for research reports, inclusion of "symptomatic" participants (defined as humans with a current symptomatic condition), systematic reviews, qualitative studies, prospective studies, and articles focused on prognosis, diagnosis, or metric topics. Percentage decreases were observed for topical reviews, inclusion of only "asymptomatic" participants (defined as humans without a current symptomatic condition), education articles, nonsystematic reviews, and articles focused on anatomy/physiology. Limitations. Quality assessment of articles was not performed. Conclusions. These trends provide an indirect indication of the evolution of the physical therapy profession through the publication record in PTJ. Collectively, the data indicated an increased emphasis on publishing articles consistent with evidence-based practice and clinically based research. Bibliometric analyses indicated the most frequent citations were metric studies and references in PTJ were from journals from a variety of disciplines.

Message-ID: Landmark study analyzes scientific productivity and impact of the top 100 PD investigators Published in the inaugural issue of the Journal of Parkinson's Disease "Productivity and Impact of the Top 100 Cited Parkinson's Disease Investigators since 1985" by Aaron A. Sorensen and David Weedon. Journal of Parkinson's Disease, Volume 1/Issue 1 (June 2011). E-mail: aaron.sorensen at ge.com. Amsterdam, NL, June 9, 2011 ? IOS Press is pleased to announce the publication of a landmark study in which both traditional and innovative scientometric approaches have been employed to identify the top 100 Parkinson's disease (PD) investigators since 1985 and measure their scientific productivity as well as the impact of their contributions to the field. The article appears today in the inaugural issue of the Journal of Parkinson's Disease. This milestone analysis has been conducted by Aaron A. Sorensen, a noted expert in the fields of scientometrics and bibliometrics and currently Clinical Research Industry Specialist at GE Healthcare, and David Weedon, a Publishing Consultant based in London, formerly Managing Director of Biology Reports Ltd. While the study employs traditional bibliometric techniques to rank investigators, the authors have utilized innovative metrics to complement traditional tools that do not always give a full picture of the impact of a researcher's work. "The number of citations an article receives is widely accepted as a measure of its impact," commented Sorensen and Weedon. "There has not, however, been a broad analysis of the PD research literature to assess, in a comprehensive manner, the impact and productivity of the top investigators, which this study aims to provide. It is interesting to note that approximately half the names in the Top 20 for the last decade are names that did not appear in the Top 20 for the last 25 years." The authors have compiled a list of the 100 most cited PD researchers since 1985. The top 20 researchers identified are: 1. Lees, Andrew J, University College London 2. Marsden, C David, University College London 3. Agid, Yves, Piti? - Salp?tri?re University Hospital, Paris 4. Lang, Anthony E, Toronto Western Research Institute 5.

Tanner, Caroline M, The Parkinson's Institute, Sunnyvale, CA In order to get a sense for how the PD "impact landscape" might have changed in the 21st century, a Top 100 of the last decade was determined. The analysis revealed the names of a considerable number of "rising stars", who have made significant contributions to the PD literature, often through molecular or genetic approaches. The Top 20 identified are: 1. Lang, Anthony E, Toronto Western Research Institute 2. Farrer, Matthew, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL 3. Lees, Andrew J, University College London 4.

Minnesota, Rochester, MN In addition, newer bibliometric methods were used as a means to assess productivity and impact. Researchers were ranked using H-indices (a measure of an author's highly-cited body of work), and "broad impact" citations were introduced as a novel way of identifying those scientists whose PD work has a large "ripple effect" beyond the PD research community. Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting 1?% of the population over the age of 65. It is characterized by loss of brain cells (neurons) from the mid-brain which use the neurotransmitter dopamine to help control voluntary movements. ### The article is "Productivity and Impact of the Top 100 Cited Parkinson's Disease Investigators since 1985" by Aaron A.

Author Full Name(s): Neufeld, Joerg; von Ins, Markus Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: SCIENTIFIC EXCELLENCE; RELIABILITY Abstract: Recent literature on issues relevant to bibliometric indicator relations and peer review discusses whether bibliometric indicators can predict the success of research grant applications. For example, Van den Besselaar and Leydesdorff (2009) reported a higher average number of publications/citations for the group of approved applicants than for the rejected applicants (section Social and Behavioral Sciences of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research [NOW], MaGW). However, this difference disappears or even reverses when the group of 275 successful applicants was compared only to the best 275 rejected applicants. Given these findings, we have continued our analyses of publication data of applicants for the Emmy Noether-Programme (ENP) provided by the German Research Foundation. First, we compared the group of actual ENP applicants to a sample of potential applicants, which revealed a 'lack of low performers' among the actual ENP applicants. Furthermore, we conducted discriminant analyses to predict funding decisions on the basis of several bibliometric indicators.

Author Full Name(s): Baek, Seung Ki; Bernhardsson, Sebastian; Minnhagen, Petter Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: DISTRIBUTIONS Abstract: Why does Zipf's law give a good description of data from seemingly completely unrelated phenomena? Here it is argued that the reason is that they can all be described as outcomes of a ubiquitous random group division: the elements can be citizens of a country and the groups family names, or the elements can be all the words making up a novel and the groups the unique words, or the elements could be inhabitants and the groups the cities in a country and so on. A random group formation (RGF) is presented from which a Bayesian estimate is obtained based on minimal information: it provides the best prediction for the number of groups with k elements, given the total number of elements, groups and the number of elements in the largest group. For each specification of these three values, the RGF predicts a unique group distribution N(k) proportional to exp(-bk)/k(gamma), where the power-law index gamma is a unique function of the same three values. The universality of the result is made possible by the fact that no system-specific assumptions are made about the mechanism responsible for the group division. The direct relation between gamma and the total number of elements, groups and the number of elements in the largest group is calculated. The predictive power of the RGF model is demonstrated by direct comparison with data from a variety of systems. It is shown that gamma usually takes values in the interval 1 <= gamma <= 2 and that the value for a given phenomenon depends in a systematic way on the total size of the dataset. The results are put in the context of earlier discussions on Zipf's and Gibrat's laws, N(k) proportional to k(-2) and the connection between growth models and RGF is elucidated.

METHODS: Bibliometric analyses were carried out on Rb literatures which contain the descriptors of Rb in their titles or texts from 1929 to 2010 in PubMed database (www.ncbi.nlm. nih.gov/Pubmed). The biomedical journals referring to Rb by using bibliometric indicators were calculated. The principal bibliometric indicators, i.e, Price's and Bradford's laws to the increase or distribution of scientific literature, the participation index of languages and the journals were applied. By means of manual coding, Rb documents were classified according to documents studied and to statistical analysis. RESULTS: During 1929-2010, there were 16162 literatures in the PubMed database including the word Rb. According to the literature type, it includes Review (n=2026), Randomized Controlled Trial (n = 7), Practice guideline (n = 3), meta-analysis (n = 4), letter (n = 215), editorial (n = 98), clinical trial (n = 115) and others (n = 13694). By the statistical analysis, its equation is near power index (y = 3.0477 x(2.6088), R-2 = 0.9666). From 1929 to 2010, Rb literatures in English were primarily dominant (90.71%) and the amount of the literature in Chinese ranked the fourth (1.37%). By searching PubMed, 1420 (8.8%) literatures covered were from 41 of 48 ophthalmological, and 406 (2.5%) literatures from 44 of 86 pediatrics journals that correlated with retinoblastoma (SCI-indexed). The data showed that the literatures of Rb were gradually increasing year by year and were approximate near power index during 1929-2010, and the document publishes published mainly in ophthalmological journals, and in English (90.71%), and showing that the study on Rb is a popular subject in the last half century. CONCLUSION: The literatures of Rb are gradually increasing, mainly English in ophthalmologic journals.

Author Full Name(s): Zhang, Qing; Cao, Yong-Gang; Yu, Hong Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Natural language processing; Information extraction; Citation parsing; Citation indexing; Conditional random fields; Machine learning; Biomedical text mining KeyWords Plus: INFORMATION Abstract: Citations are used ubiquitously in biomedical full-text articles and play an important role for representing both the rhetorical structure and the semantic content of the articles. As a result, text mining systems will significantly benefit from a tool that automatically extracts the content of a citation. In this study, we applied the supervised machine-learning algorithms Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) to automatically parse a citation into its fields (e.g., Author, Title, Journal, and Year). With a subset of html format open- access PubMed Central articles, we report an overall 97.95% F1-score. The citation parser can be accessed at: http://www.cs.uwm.edu/qing/projects/cithit/index.html.

However, what is the ratio of minority nodes to majority nodes resulting from the Matthew effect? In this paper, based on a simple preferential random model, the poor rich demarcation points are found to vary in a limited range, and form a poor rich demarcation interval that approximates to k/m is an element of [3, 4]. As a result, the (cumulative) degree distribution of a scale-free network can be divided into three intervals: the poor interval, the demarcation interval and the rich interval. The inequality of the degree distribution in each interval is measured. Finally, the Matthew effect is applied to the ABC analysis of project management.

Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS; CITATION ANALYSIS; IMPACT FACTOR; INTERNATIONALIZATION; INFORMATION; SCIENCE; SCOPUS; WEB Abstract: This study shows how a journal's influence can be calculated by using citations obtained from Google Scholar and other methods even though the journal is not covered by any citation databases. Influence is measured in terms of foreign contributions, 'equivalent' immediacy scores of recent articles, and the calculation of citations and 'equivalent' impact factor. A total of 580 articles published in the Medical Journal of Malaysia (KM) between 2004 and 2008 served as the sample. Very few foreign authors contributed to MJM (12.5%), implying its low regional acceptance as a channel for research communication. Immediacy scores for each year indicate citations were received by recently published articles. A total of 1,164 citations were received by 446 of the 580 articles and the main citing sources were journals (1,083) with reasonable is index and impact factor. Yearly impact scores ranged between 0.367 and 0.616. Higher impact factor scores were obtained by older articles. (C) S.A. Sanni and A.N. Zainab 2011 Addresses: [Zainab, A.

Building and extending upon the framework for understanding research in usability and culture by Honold [3], we give an overview of publications in culture and HCI between 1998 and 2008, with a narrow focus on high-level journal publications only. The purpose is to review current practice in how cultural HCI issues are studied, and to analyse problems with the measures and interpretation of this studies. We find that Hofstede's cultural dimensions has been the dominating model of culture, participants have been picked because they could speak English, and most studies have been large scale quantitative studies. In order to balance this situation, we recommend that more researchers and practitioners do qualitative, empirical work studies.

However, Web of Science actually stores all the citations from journals it indexes to any cited material. This means you can construct a 'pseudo' Impact Factor. Because the non-SCI journal won't be indexed, that pseudo Impact Factor will of course be missing self citations, but you can trawl the journal's articles and put them back in if you like. You can search for citations to any journal, including non-SCI titles, in the Cited Reference Search area of Web of Science. Bear in mind ISI will have abbreviated the titles, so you'll have to construct your seach string carefully - see instructions on the site for more information. 2) The SJR is quite different to the Impact Factor in that it has a three year rather than two year target window, ignores self citations and is, of course, based on the Scopus dataset rather than the ISI one. More importantly still, citations in the SJR are weighted according to the impact of the citing journal. Can it give an indication of impact? Certainly. Is it as useful as the Impact Factor? That's very much open to debate. Personally I've had some issues with Scopus data quality but that may just be me, and fewer people are aware of/prioritise the SJR. Also, without the ability to deconstruct the SJR, we have no way of being sure it includes all relevant citations. 3) Yes, as long as you don't try to compare one journal's IF with another journal's SJR - they are very different metrics indeed and can't be placed alongside one another meaningfully. If you intend to use a metric to publise a journal, however, the IF is probably more useful because more people know about it. Even Elsevier, as far as I know, don't often put the SJR of a title on their journal homepages. Of course, a lot of stakeholders will only take notice of an Impact Factor if it has been calculated by ISI themselves. Hope this helps. Best, Adam On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 5:17 PM, Prabir G.

Citations to any document type are counted on the numerator, but only citable items (that is, Articles, Reviews and Proceedings Papers) are counted on the denominator. It's not entirely clear from the Scimago site, but I don't believe that's the case with their calculations. Also, it's worth remembering that Scopus covers a different set of journals to ISI and classify their document types differently; so even if the metrics are calculated the same way, the numbers plugged into them will often be different.

The study was based on the rankings of researcher included in the Indice de Impact de las Revistas Espanolas de Ciencias Sociales (INRECS) and Indice de Impacto de las Revistas Espanolas de Ciencias Juridicas (INRECJ). Eleven different scientific disciplines were analyzed and the final sample consisted of 3,370 researchers, of whom 30% were women. To study gender differences four variables were selected and analyzed: number of papers, number of citations, number of international citations and citation average. The results show that women in the 11 areas studied have both a lower productivity and a lower number of citations. On the other hand, in some areas women do receive a greater number of international citations and in almost all areas achieve higher citation averages. However the presence of women in the rankings and among the Spanish research elite is still small.

However, the knowledge repository on which the scientific research community draws, that is, its intellectual foundation, has not yet been studied. Studying the intellectual foundation of research provides an unbiased and comprehensive picture of the development, dissemination, and utilization of its knowledge. In this article, we identify the most contributive works?in terms of citations received?that have been used in 497 articles published in the Journal of Business Logistics (JBL) between 1978 and 2007. By means of citation and co- citation analysis, the intellectual structure of research in JBL is revealed and transformations therein are explored. Overall, the most frequently-cited literature can be classified into six themes: physical distribution; inventory models; customer service; interorganizational relationships; competitive strategy; and empirical methodologies for socio-scientific research. Furthermore, we determined a development in citation frequencies to these themes: literature related to physical distribution and inventory management declined over the three decades under study, whereas literature related to competitive strategy and empirical methods gained in importance. This development indicates a shift from an operational focus to a prioritization of managerial issues. Moreover, our results demonstrate a shift towards more relational and institutional research in logistics (management), which has been typically linked with the notion of supply chain management since the 1990's.

There are many implicit details which can be extracted from a text, particularly if one has access to an entire corpus of texts pertaining to the given subject. One of these details is the identification of the era in which the author of the given document(s) lived. For rabbinic documents written in Hebrew and Aramaic, which are almost without exception undated and do not contain any bibliographic section, this problem is extremely important. The aim of this novel research is to find in which years an author was born and died, based on his documents and the documents of other authors (whose birth and death years are known) who refer to the author under discussion or are mentioned by him. Such estimates can help determine the time frame in which certain documents were written and in some cases identify an anonymous author. In the framework of this research, we formulate various kinds of "iron- clad", heuristic and greedy constraints defining the birth and death years of an author based on citations referring to him or mentioned by him. Experiments applied on a corpus containing texts composed by rabbinic authors show reasonable results.

From a sociology of science perspective as well as from a citation analytical perspective, it is both an interesting claim and a consequential one. The article presents a citation analysis of the editorial board members entering the American Economic Review from 1984 to 2004 using a citation window of 11 years. To test the flattery citation hypothesis further, we have conducted a study applying the difference-in-differences estimator. We analyze the number of times the editors and editorial board members of the American Economic Review were cited in articles published in the journal itself as well as in a pool of documents comprising articles from the Journal of Political Economy and the Quarterly Journal of Economics. The results of the analyses do not support the existence of a flattery citation effect.

Author Full Name(s): Hammarfelt, Bjorn Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: SOCIAL-SCIENCES; HUMANITIES; JOURNALS Abstract: This article employs citation analysis on a micro level- the level of the cited document; in this case, Walter Benjamin's Illuminations (1968/2007). The study shows how this frequently cited publication-more than 4,000 citations in Web of Science-has been received. The growth of citations and interdisciplinary citing is studied, and a novel approach-page citation analysis-is applied to study how different parts of Illuminations have been cited. The article demonstrates how bibliometric methods can be used together with qualitative accounts to map the impact and dissemination of a particular publication. Furthermore, it shows how bibliometric methods can be utilized to study intellectual structures in the humanities, and highlights the influence of the humanities on the social sciences and sciences.

Author Full Name(s): Vivanco, Luis; Bartolome, Blanca; San Martin, Montserrat; Martinez, Alfredo Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: EMBRYO RESEARCH; DEBATE Abstract: Our objective was to determine the prevalence of the term preembryo in the scientific literature using a bibliometric study in the Web of Science database. We retrieved data from the Web of Science from 1986 to 2005, covering a range of 20 years since the term was first published. Searches for the terms embryo, blastocyst, preimplantation embryo, and preembryo were performed. Then, Boolean operators were applied to measure associations between terms. Finally, statistical assessments were made to compare the use of each term in the scientific literature, and in specific areas where preembryo is most used. From a total of 93,019 registers, 90,888 corresponded to embryo; 8,366 to blastocyst; 2,397 to preimplantation embryo; and 172 to preembryo. The use frequency for preembryo was 2:1000. The term preembryo showed a lower cumulative impact factor (343) in comparison with the others (25,448; 5,530; and 546; respectively) in the highest scored journal category. We conclude that the term preembryo is not used in the scientific community, probably because it is confusing or inadequate. The authors suggest that its use in the scientific literature should be avoided in future publications. The bibliometric analysis confirms this statement. While preembryo hardly ever is used, terms such as preimplantation embryo and blastocyst have gained wide acceptance in publications from the same areas of study.

How and in what context two authors collaborate remain among the major questions. Previous studies, however, have focused on either exploring the global topology of coauthorship networks (macro perspective) or ranking the impact of individual authors (micro perspective). Neither of them has provided information on the context of the collaboration between two specific authors, which may potentially imply rich socioeconomic, disciplinary, and institutional information on collaboration. Different from the macro perspective and micro perspective, this article proposes a novel method (meso perspective) to analyze scientific collaboration, in which a contextual subgraph is extracted as the unit of analysis. A contextual subgraph is defined as a small subgraph of a large-scale coauthorship network that captures relationship and context between two coauthors. This method is applied to the field of library and information science. Topological properties of all the subgraphs in four time spans are investigated, including size, average degree, clustering coefficient, and network centralization.

Author Full Name(s): Stock, Wolfgang G. Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: RESEARCH COLLABORATION; REGIONAL-DEVELOPMENT; POSTINDUSTRIAL CITY; NETWORK SOCIETY; GLOBAL CITY; INNER-CITY; URBAN; POLARIZATION; ECONOMY; TECHNOLOGY Abstract: Informational cities are prototypical cities of the knowledge society. If they are informational world cities, they are new centers of power. According to Manuel Castells (1989), in those cities space of flows (flows of money, power, and information) tend to override space of places. Information and communication technology infrastructures, cognitive infrastructures (as groundwork of knowledge cities and creative cities), and city-level knowledge management are of great importance. Digital libraries provide access to the global explicit knowledge. The informational city consists of creative clusters and spaces for personal contacts to stimulate sharing of implicit information. In such cities, we can observe job polarization in favor of well-trained employees. The corporate structure of informational cities is made up of financial services, knowledge-intensive high-tech industrial enterprises, companies of the information economy, and further creative and knowledge-intensive service enterprises. Weak location factors are facilities for culture, recreational activities, and consumption. Political willingness to create an informational city and e-governance activities are crucial aspects for the development of such cities. This conceptual article frames indicators which are able to mark the degree of "informativeness" of a city. Finally, based upon findings of network economy, we try to explain why certain cities master the transition to informational cities and others (lagging to relative insignificance) do not. The article connects findings of information science and of urbanistics and urban planning.

The results of this study reveal the fact that the growth of international literature using ABM is still well perceived. Most of the literature is from various institutions in the USA. According to Bradford's Law, eight core journals in ABM are identified and analyzed. Moreover, the frequency distributions of the author productivity match the generalized Lotka's Law. Applications of ABM are mainly found in the fields of social science/interdisciplinary studies, economics, and environmental studies.

LEARNED PUBLISHING 24 (2): 99-108. Author Full Name(s): Mooney, Hailey Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: REFERENCES Abstract: It is expected that authors will provide citations for all papers referenced in their writings. The necessity of providing citations for data is not so widely recognized. Proponents of the data-sharing movement have advocated the citation of datasets in order to recognize contributions and enhance access. This study examines a sample of papers from the Inter- University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) Bibliography of Data-Related Literature that are based on secondary analysis of datasets available in the ICPSR data archive to determine the data citation practices of authors. The results indicate that many authors fail to cite the data used in secondary analysis studies. Possible reasons for the dismal state of data citation practices are considered, including the recent introduction of data into the scholarly record and its marginalization as an information format. Updating citation practices to include datasets will support data sharing and foster responsible scholarship.

JUSP in time a partnership approach to developing a journal usage statistics portal. LEARNED PUBLISHING 24 (2): 109-114. Author Full Name(s): Cradock, Chris; Meehan, Paul; Needham, Paul Language: English Document Type: Article Abstract: The Journal Usage Statistics Portal (JUSP) service is expanding rapidly, and aims to encompass all NESLi2-participating publishers by the end of 2011, together with all UK higher-education institutions subscribing to deals from those publishers. A key part of the success of JUSP will be the implementation of the Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) protocol for automatic harvesting of usage statistics directly from publishers. This article outlines development of the service and describes how JUSP is working with Oxford University Press to deliver usage statistics to libraries. We also describe future developments at JUSP, including the creation of our own SUSHI server, and explain how new initiatives and enhancements are developed and rolled out in conjunction with our participating institutions.

LEARNED PUBLISHING 24 (2): 115-? Author Full Name(s): Cox, Laura Language: English Document Type: Article Abstract: In September 2010 MPS Limited undertook a short survey of librarians, addressing their use of usage statistics. Over 300 librarians responded. This article covers the findings. 97% of the librarians surveyed use usage statistics in some way. As would be expected, they find COUNTER- compliant usage statistics invaluable and place their importance above non- COUNTER- compliant usage data. They also rely on this information as a major part of the decision-making process when it comes to purchase and cancellation decisions.
