"Transnational History of Medicine after 1950: Framing and Interrogation from Psychiatric Journals" Author : Professor John C. Burnham, Ohio State University, Department of History, 106 Dulles Hall, 230 West 17th Avenue, Columbus OH, 43210, USA. Email: burnham.2 at osu.edu Abstract: Communication amongst medical specialists helps display the tensions between localism and transnationalisation. Some quantitative sampling of psychiatric journals provides one framework for understanding the history of psychiatry and, to some extent, the history of medicine in general in the twentieth century. After World War II, extreme national isolation of psychiatric communities gave way to substantial transnationalisation, especially in the 1980s, when a remarkable switch to English-language communication became obvious. Various psychiatric communities used the new universal language, not so much as victims of Americanisation, as to gain general professional recognition and to participate in and adapt to modernisation.

Self-archived preprint: http://www.mapofscience.com/images/pdf/JAMIA_final.pdf With best regards, Kevin Boyack, SciTech Strategies, Inc. Paul Jordan, National Institutes of Health, Office of Research Information Systems ------------------------------------------- Metrics Associated With NIH Funding: A High-Level View Objective: To introduce the availability of grant-to-article linkage data associated with NIH grants and to perform a high-level analysis of the publication outputs and impacts associated with those grants. Design: Articles were linked to the grants they acknowledge using the grant acknowledgement strings in PubMed using a parsing and matching process as embodied in the NIH SPIRES system. Additional data from PubMed and citation counts from Scopus were added to the linkage data. The data comprise 2,572,576 records from 1980-2009. Results: The data show that synergies between NIH institutes are increasing over time; 29% of current articles acknowledge grants from multiple institutes. The median time lag to publication for a new grant is 3 years. Each grant contributes to approximately 1.7 articles per year, averaged over all grant types. Articles acknowledging U.S. Public Health Service (PHS, which includes NIH) funding are cited twice as much as U.S. authored articles acknowledging no funding source. Articles acknowledging both PHS funding and a non-U.S. government funding source receive on average 40% more citations that those acknowledging PHS funding sources alone. Conclusion: The U.S. PHS is effective at funding research with higher than average impact. The data are amenable to further and much more detailed analysis. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Dear colleagues, As shown in the link below, we have recently produced scientometric evidence that journal rankings widely used in Business and Management Schools have narrow disciplinary-based views on excellence and that this may result in disadvantage for interdisciplinary organisations in research evaluations. Such a bias may (and is likely to) lead to the suppression of interdisciplinary research. The question now is to which extent these results can be generalised to other fields. Many qualitative studies argue indeed that this type of bias is common across science. However, we have only managed to find a few quantitative studies addressing this issue. We would appreciate if you let us know of other publications providing quantitative evidence of the existence or lack of bias against interidisciplinarity. Many Thanks! Ismael Rafols, SPRU, Univ.

Author Full Name(s): Jensen, Pablo Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: interaction experts/publics; popularization of science; public understanding of science; science experts; scientists' attitudes; social responsibility of scientists KeyWords Plus: SCIENCE Abstract: This paper provides a detailed statistical picture of French scientists involved in public outreach. This is achieved by analysing the popularization practices of 7000 scientists in all major disciplines over a six-year period (2004 to 2009). I analyse the influence of discipline, position, age and academic productivity. Thanks to a temporal analysis, I show that scientists can be split into three distinct populations with radically different popularization practices. Finally, this analysis suggests that the recent increase in public engagement is the result of heightened social interest which pulls more outreach from particular disciplines.

We attempted to predict rankings given by panels of experts, by using available citation indices. We compare the Choquet integral fit by the least absolute deviation criterion as a classifier against other ordinal classification methods, before interpreting the fuzzy measure weights and indices. Our findings show that the journal rankings data set is difficult to model accurately due to inconsistencies and lack of monotonicity, but that the Choquet integral still performs well as a classifier.

A Retrospective Analysis of 10-Year Authorship Trends in Biomedical Engineering Journals. ACCOUNTABILITY IN RESEARCH-POLICIES AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 18 (2): 91-101. Author Full Name(s): Foo, Jong Yong Abdiel Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: authorship; journal impact factor; publication ethics; research integrity; research misconduct KeyWords Plus: SCIENTIFIC PAPERS; IMPACT FACTOR Abstract: Studies have indicated that academic research has become increasingly complex and multidisciplinary. There seems to be an increasing trend of multiple author articles published across most journals. As the field of biomedical engineering also encompasses multidisciplinary-based knowledge, it is interesting to understand the authorship trend over time. In this study, six journals were carefully chosen from the Journal Citation Report of the Thomson Scientific based on predefined criteria (year 1999 to 2008). The data pertaining to authorships for the articles published in these journals were then acquired from the PubMed database. The results show that there is a general upward trend for the number of author per article, but it is not significant (p .01) despite a 64.5% increase in the total number of article published in the six chosen journals. Thus, the expected increase is not observed in this field, and it may be due to the stringent guidelines by journals in defining the contributions of an author. Particularly, contributing factors like the impact of authorship irregularities is discussed herein.

However, very little has been written about the responsible conduct of bioethics research. Bioethics is an interdisciplinary field and brings together divergent ethical standards and practices which may be the source of tension or conflict. This article argues that bioethicists should reflect more on ethical issues in the responsible conduct of bioethics research through examination of authorship practices and peer review. I also outline three possible approaches to promote research integrity in bioethics.

We seek conceptual, analytical and empirical papers covering the newest and most innovative approaches to the study of this theme. Online information and social information that we receive from and create together with our social networks are becoming increasingly important both in our everyday lives as well as our professional lives. Social information has in many ways a great impact on our information behaviour as we receive information and recommendations from our networks and our friends are being used as part of ranking algorithms by various information services. There are many possible angles and layers in studying social aspects in information science and it is important to coordinate these aspects. We can study the social context of information creation and dissemination both as humangroup behaviour as well as through the tools and technological innovations supporting networking activities. We can study social information behaviour as part of information behaviour (IB) but also more precisely through e.g. social information retrieval, social search, social bookmarking and other social recommendation systems, and co-creation of information. The purpose of this book is to collect current research representing these and other aspects of social information with emphasis on the new innovations supporting today?s information behaviour. This is a cutting edge topic where several relevant disciplines are combined (information science, social media and business organization). There are a lot of assumptions about how the social and interactive web will affect our information behaviour but few publications based on research. The aim of the book is to present the kaleidoscope of social information. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: social creation of information, online information dissemination, online social networks and/or social networking in relation to information dissemination and creation, social information retrieval, social search, social bookmarking and other social recommendation systems, social information management and/or knowledge management and social media in relation to information science research. *Submission procedure* Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit a 1-2 page chapter proposal by August 15, 2011. Authors will be notified of the status of their proposal by September 15, 2011. Full chapters (7500?9000 words) are expected to be submitted by December 15, 2011. All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Final revised manuscripts are due on March 31, 2012. Proposals and manuscripts should be sent electronically to both of the editors Gunilla Wid?n (gwiden at abo.fi) and Kim Holmberg (kholmber at abo.fi). Submissions must be in either Word or PDF format. Complete author guidelines are available at: http://www.emeraldinsight.com/products/ebookseries/author_guidelines.htm *About the Library and Information Science book series* The Library and Information Science Series solicits and publishes edited and non-edited manuscripts on all theoretical and practical aspects in the creation, distribution, location, acquisition, organization, retrieval, and management of information.

The resulting mapping is provided by VOSViewer. We first discuss the pros and cons of the various options: cited versus citing, multidimensional scaling versus spring-embedded algorithms, VOSViewer versus Gephi, and the various clustering algorithms and similarity criteria. Our approach focuses on the positions of journals in the multidimensional space spanned by the aggregated journal-journal citations. A number of choices can be left to the user, but we provide default options reflecting our preferences. Some examples are also provided; for example, the potential of using this technique to assess the interdisciplinarity of organizations and/or document sets. http://arxiv.org/abs/1105.2925 pdf-version at http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1105/1105.2925.pdf ** apologies for cross-postings _____ Loet Leydesdorff Professor, University of Amsterdam Amsterdam School of Communications Research (ASCoR) Kloveniersburgwal 48, 1012 CX Amsterdam.

These concerns have catalyzed an expanding set of empirical studies, the evidence from which is vast and mixed. We review this body of investigative work, teasing out some preliminary conclusions regarding the broader implications of academic enterprise and promising avenues for further research.

Different from the traditional Web search engines that perform retrieval and ranking at document level (or at object level), we investigate the problem of expertise search at topic level over heterogeneous networks. In particular, we study this problem in an academic search and mining system, which extracts and integrates the academic data from the distributed Web. We present a unified topic model to simultaneously model topical aspects of different objects in the academic network. Based on the learned topic models, we investigate the expertise search problem from three dimensions: ranking, citation tracing analysis, and topical graph search. Specifically, we propose a topic level random walk method for ranking the different objects. In citation tracing analysis, we aim to uncover how a piece of work influences its follow-up work. Finally, we have developed a topical graph search function, based on the topic modeling and citation tracing analysis. Experimental results show that various expertise search and mining tasks can indeed benefit from the proposed topic level analysis approach.

We discover a correlation between the two variables; namely, multiple OA availability of an article has a positive impact on its citation count. The statistical analysis reveals that for every increase in the availability of OA articles, citation numbers increase by 2.348.

CSS can be applied to analyse the citation impact of any subset of a system in comparison with citation patterns of the complete system. In this present study, CSS will be applied to individual subfields as systems and journals and papers as corresponding subunits. CSS are used as parameter-free tools to identify top journals within science fields, to identify highly cited papers within fields and journals and to compare the rank frequency distribution of highly cited papers over journals with the journal ranking according to traditional impact measures. The second part of the study is devoted to the possible normalisation of journal impact. In this study, threshold values of CSS are used to re-scale the journal-impact distributions. The underlying methodology and the outcomes for different subfields representing the life sciences, engineering and mathematics are discussed.

We estimate a correlated random-effects quantile regression model, accounting for unobserved heterogeneity of researchers and applicable to count data. We find that the effect of most regressors, particularly system-factors incentivizing researchers (like promotion record and access to research resources), as well as the gender of the researcher differ significantly at different points in the distribution, yielding strong support for our quantile regression approach. Comparing publications versus citations as dimensions of research performance, we find the incentive factors to work stronger in affecting research quality. Finally, the split-sample regression results emphasize the heterogeneity across scientific disciplines.

No. e18975 MAY 4 2011 Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: HUMAN DYNAMICS; SCIENCE; IMPACT; PERFORMANCE; IDEAS; TEAMS Abstract: Nobel Prizes are commonly seen to be among the most prestigious achievements of our times. Based on mining several million citations, we quantitatively analyze the processes driving paradigm shifts in science. We find that groundbreaking discoveries of Nobel Prize Laureates and other famous scientists are not only acknowledged by many citations of their landmark papers. Surprisingly, they also boost the citation rates of their previous publications. Given that innovations must outcompete the rich-gets-richer effect for scientific citations, it turns out that they can make their way only through citation cascades. A quantitative analysis reveals how and why they happen. Science appears to behave like a self-organized critical system, in which citation cascades of all sizes occur, from continuous scientific progress all the way up to scientific revolutions, which change the way we see our world. Measuring the "boosting effect" of landmark papers, our analysis reveals! how new ideas and new players can make their way and finally triumph in a world dominated by established paradigms. The underlying "boost factor" is also useful to discover scientific breakthroughs and talents much earlier than through classical citation analysis, which by now has become a widespread method to measure scientific excellence, influencing scientific careers and the distribution of research funds. Our findings reveal patterns of collective social behavior, which are also interesting from an attention economics perspective. Understanding the origin of scientific authority may therefore ultimately help to explain how social influence comes about and why the value of goods depends so strongly on the attention they attract.

Semantic Web for Reliable Citation Analysis in Scholarly Publishing. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARIES 30 (1): 24-33. Author Full Name(s): Tous, Ruben; Guerrero, Manel; Delgado, Jaime Language: English Document Type: Article Abstract: Analysis of the impact of scholarly artifacts is constrained by current unreliable practices in cross-referencing, citation discovering, and citation indexing and analysis, which have not kept pace with the technological advances that are occurring in several areas like knowledge management and security. Because citation analysis has become the primary component in scholarly impact factor calculation, and considering the relevance of this metric within both the scholarly publishing value chain and (especially important) the professional curriculum evaluation of scholarly professionals, we defend that current practices need to be revised. This paper describes a reference architecture that aims to provide openness and reliability to the citation- tracking lifecycle. The solution relies on the use of digitally signed semantic metadata in the different stages of the scholarly publishing workflow in such a manner that authors, publishers, repositories, and citation-analysis systems will have access to independent reliable evidences that are resistant to forgery, impersonation, and repudiation. As far as we know, this is the first paper to combine Semantic Web technologies and public-key cryptography to achieve reliable citation analysis in scholarly publishing.

The need for defined performance measures has grown as team science has begun to play a larger role in biomedical research, such as in the area of translational medicine. We used a metric, node degree over time, to measure the change in the rate of collaboration over the past five years within an organization, the University of Pennsylvania's Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics (ITMAT). The number of collaborative papers and grants roughly doubled over the past five years among investigators within but not outside of ITMAT. Also, collaborations within institutions and departments were more frequent than those between them-an actionable area of improvement.

Methods Data were based on the online version of Science Citation Index Expanded, from the Web of Science database. Articles referring to H. pylori were assessed by the trend of publication output during 1991-2008, and analysis of the distribution of words in the article title, author keyword, and KeyWords Plus was carried out. Results Globally, 37451 papers were published during the 18-year study period, including 19 080 articles, 10 396 meeting abstracts, 2625 reviews, 1943 proceedings papers, and 1866 letters. There were totally 1727 journals listed in the 122 Science Citation Index subject categories. The mainstream research on H. pylori was in the clinical gastroenterology and hepatology, microbiology, and pharmacology and pharmacy fields. The G7 industrial countries held the majority of total world production. Research on the H. pylori-related topic 'ulcer' remained the hotspot of H. pylori research, whereas that on the related topic 'gastric cancer' increased during the 18-year study period. Conclusion With synthetic analysis of word in article title, author keyword, and KeyWords Plus, it can be concluded that application of H. pylori in clinical gastroenterology, especially research related to 'cancer' is the orientation of all the H. pylori research in the 21st Century. This bibliometric method can help relevant researchers understand the panorama of global H. pylori research, and establish the direction of further research.

Language: English Document Type: Article Abstract: In the current scenario of perceptible climatic changes and the debates over predictability of trends based on available records; it is appropriate to review the developments in the Quaternary research during past two decades. In India where the Quaternary period is richly expressed by a variety of archives in wide geographic extent; such an overview may be useful to future developments. Year-wise bibliographic analysis (since 1990) based on selective qualitative and quantitative measures such as total number of national and international publications, contributions from Universities and research Institutions, and from the Department of Science and Technology (DST)-New Delhi funded projects are especially highlighted. Further a classification of the research work into various field areas (e.g., Himalaya, Ganga basin and Bay of Bengal, Thar desert, Coastal and Marine records) is made to produce a quantitative synthesis. The analysis derives an average of 36 publications a year, and the trend in many research field areas is significantly correlated to the DST funding. We discover two major declines in the research output: (a) during 1999-2001 and (b) since 2007. The second decline is of great concern as it contradicts to the phenomenal growth of the subject and availability of funds during recent years. The peaks and steady output during the intermediate periods is related to the seeding of national programs, multi-Institutional projects and training programs funded by DST Considering the sympathetic relation of the research output in Quaternary geosciences to DST's support; it can be presumed that DST can play an effective role in the growth of Quaternary research in India. Further we identify and discuss three research field areas (Himalaya, Ganga basin and the Bay of Bengal) as priority areas needing attention of Quaternary geoscientists in this country Finally the bibliographic compilation made by this article can facilitate several analyses such as trends of output of the individual Institutes, workers and subject areas to device improvements.

I want to do a webometric study but because the altavista search engine doesn?t respond to webometric formula, I want to know if I can do it through site explorer.

Serati, I would recommend trying uk.yahoo.com - I think that all the old AltaVista searches work on this page (but not www.yahoo.com). The service will shut down some time before February 2012 due to Microsoft's takeover of Yahoo so it would be good to collect all your data quickly. It is best always to return to the home page uk.yahoo.com to do any searches as searches from other pages give different results (I am not sure why).
