Abstract:
To build awareness of the development of ant colony optimization (ACO), this study clarifies the citation and bibliometric analysis of research publications of ACO during 1996-2010. This study analysed 12,960 citations from a total of 1372 articles dealing with ACO published in 517 journals based on the databases of SCIE, SSCI and AH&CI, retrieved via the Web of Science. Bradford Law and Lotka's Law, respectively, examined the distribution of journal articles and author productivity. Furthermore, this study determines the citation impact of ACO using parameters such as extent of citation received in terms of number of citations per study, distribution of citations over time, distribution of citations among domains, citation of authors, citation of institutions, highly cited papers and citing journals and *impact factor* of 12,960 citations. This study can help researchers to better understand the history, current status and trends of ACO in the advanced study of it. (C) 2011!

Abstract:
In the Essential Science Indicators (Thomson Reuters), a research front exists to the h index (entitled "GOOGLE SCHOLAR H-INDEX; SCIENCE CITATION INDEX; GENERALIZED HIRSCH H-INDEX; H INDEX; GOOGLE SCHOLAR CITATIONS") consisting of a group of highly cited papers. We used HistCite to analyze the structure and relationships of the 45 papers forming the h index research front. Since we were interested in the topics of research on the h index at the front, we classified each paper according to its main topic. Six topics (inductively generated) were sufficient to classify the 45 papers: (1) citation database, (2) empirical validation study, (3) new application, (4) theoretical analysis, (5) new index development, and (6) literature review.

Abstract:
Bornmann and Leydesdorff (2011) proposed methods based on Web of Science data to identify field-specific excellence in cities where highly cited papers were published more frequently than can be expected. Top performers in output are cities in which authors are located who publish a number of highly cited papers that is statistically significantly higher than can be expected for these cities. Using papers published between 1989 and 2009 in information science improvements to the methods of Bornmann and Leydesdorff (2011) are presented and an alternative mapping approach based on the Integrated Impact Indicator (I3) is introduced here. The I3 indicator was developed by Leydesdorff and Bornmann (2011b). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:
The recently awakened discussion on the usability of averages of ratios (AoR) compared to ratios of averages (RoA) has led to the mathematical results in this paper. Based on the empirical results in Lariviere and Gingras (2011) we prove, under reasonable conditions, the following relations between AoR and RoA for a set of points:
(i) The regression line of RoA in function of AoR is the first bisectrix.
(ii) (AoR - RoA)/AoR in function of the number N of papers is a cloud of points comprised between a multiple of 1 root N and - 1 root N.
(iii) (AoR - RoA)/AoR versus RoA has a decreasing regression line. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:
Visualizing the entire domain of knowledge and tracking the latest developments of an important discipline are challenging tasks for researchers. This study builds an intellectual structure by examining a total of 10,974 publications in the knowledge management (KM) field from 1995 to 2010. Document co-citation analysis, pathfinder network and strategic diagram techniques are applied to provide a dynamic view of the evolution of knowledge management research trends. This study provides a systematic and objective means in exploring the development of the KM discipline. This paper not only drew its finding from a large data set but also presented a longitudinal analysis of the development of the KM related studies. The results of this study reflect that the coverage of key KM papers has expanded into a broad spectrum of disciplines. A discussion of the future of KM research is also provided.

Abstract:
Recent advances in methods and techniques enable us to develop interactive overlays to a global map of science based on aggregated citation relations among the 9162 journals contained in the Science Citation Index and Social Science Citation Index 2009. 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. Using VOSViewer for the resulting mapping, a number of choices can be left to the user; 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. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:
The journal *impact factor* (JIF) proposed by Garfield in the year 1955 is one of the most prominent and common measures of the prestige, position, and importance of a scientific journal. The JIF may profit from its comprehensibility, robustness, methodological reproducibility, simplicity, and rapid availability, but it is at the expense of serious technical and methodological flaws. The paper discusses two core problems with the JIF: first, citations of documents are generally not normally distributed, and, furthermore, the distribution is affected by outliers, which has serious consequences for the use of the mean value in the JIF calculation. Second, the JIF is affected by bias factors that have nothing to do with the prestige or quality of a journal (e.g., document type). For solving these two problems, we suggest using McCall's area transformation and the Rubin Causal Model. Citation data for documents of all journals in the ISI Subject Category "Psychology, Mathematica!
 l" (Journal Citation Report) are used to illustrate the proposal. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:
The effect of two different calculation methods for obtaining relative impact indicators is modelled. Science policy considerations make it clear that evaluating the sets of publications, the "ratio of the sums" method should be preferred over the "mean of the ratios" method. Accordingly, determining the relative total impact against the mean relative impact of the publications of teams or institutes may be preferred. The special problem caused by relating the number of citations of an individual article to the Garfield (*Impact) Factor* (or mean citedness) of the publishing journal (or a set of journals selected as standard) lower than zero is demonstrated by examples. The possible effects of the different share of publications in different fields on the value of the "new crown" index are also modelled. The assessment methods using several appropriately weighted indicators which result in a composite index are recommended. The acronym "BMV" is suggested to term the relative!
  impact indicators (e.g. RCR, CPP/JCS(m), CPP/FCSm and RW) in scientometrics. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:
Aims: Recent data demonstrates that cryptococcosis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans or Cryptococcus gattii kills approximately 600,000 people per year in the world. In Brazil, cryptococcosis has recently been identified as the most fatal mycosis in AIDS patients. In this study, we aimed to map research into C. neoformans and C. gattii in the world, with a focus on the Brazilian contribution to this area. Methods: The parameters used for this analysis were based on publication records, including number of articles published, citation indices, journal *impact factor* and distribution of authorship in the last two decades. Results: Our global analysis of publications demonstrated that, in the last 20 years, the USA was the country that produced the highest number of scientific articles in the Cryptococcus field, while Brazil occupied the third position. Brazilian productivity, however, showed a steady tendency to increase, in contrast to the USA and other countries. The averag!
 e *impact factor* of journals at which articles authored by Brazilians were published was 2.58, which represented approximately half the value found for papers of American authorship. Studies authored by Brazilian scientists showed relatively low averages of citations per article, in comparison to papers published by researchers from the USA, France, Australia, The Netherlands and Germany, among others. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the contribution of Brazilian scientists to the Cryptococcus field is continually growing, although papers produced in Brazil apparently have poor repercussion in comparison to those generated in developed countries.

Abstract:
The JID is a major resource for publishing dermatologic research. Here we document bibliometric systems that permit detailed analysis of JID's relative scientific quality. We provide an overview of metrics employed by ISI Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge and Elsevier's open-access Scopus to measure JID's comparative performance. We list JID's 50 most cited articles between 1986 and 2010 and summarize the six most cited papers published during this period. We conclude by showing how selected cited papers have influenced research in the JID subcategories of immunology/infection and photobiology during this period. JID has thrived as the strength of its editorial leadership and the quality of dermatologic science have grown apace.

Abstract:
A critical part of a scientific activity is to discern how a new idea is related to what we know and what may become possible. As the number of new scientific publications arrives at a rate that rapidly outpaces our capacity of reading, analyzing, and synthesizing scientific knowledge, we need to augment ourselves with information that can effectively guide us through the rapidly growing intellectual space. In this article, we address a fundamental issue concerning what kinds of information may serve as early signs of potentially valuable ideas. In particular, we are interested in information that is routinely available and derivable upon the publication of a scientific paper without assuming the availability of additional information such as its usage and citations. We propose a theoretical and computational model that predicts the potential of a scientific publication in terms of the degree to which it alters the intellectual structure of the state of the art. The structur!
 al variation approach focuses on the novel boundary-spanning connections introduced by a new article to the intellectual space. We validate the role of boundary-spanning in predicting future citations using three metrics of structural variation-namely, modularity change rate, cluster linkage, and Centrality Divergence-along with more commonly studied predictors of citations such as the number of coauthors, the number of cited references, and the number of pages. Main effects of these factors are estimated for five cases using zero-inflated negative binomial regression models of citation counts. Key findings indicate that (a) structural variations measured by cluster linkage are a better predictor of citation counts than are the more commonly studied variables such as the number of references cited, (b) the number of coauthors and the number of references are both good predictors of global citation counts to a lesser extent, and (c) the Centrality Divergence metric is potent!
 ially valuable for detecting boundary-spanning activities at i!
 nterdisc
iplinary levels. The structural variation approach offers a new way to monitor and discern the potential of newly published papers in context. The boundary-spanning mechanism offers a conceptually simplified and unifying explanation of the roles played by commonly studied extrinsic properties of a publication in the study of citation behavior.

Abstract:
Bioinformatics journals publish research findings of intellectual synergies among subfields such as biology, mathematics, and computer science. The objective of this study is to characterize the citation patterns in bioinformatics journals and their correspondent knowledge subfields. Our study analyzed bibliometric data (*impact factor*, cited-half-life, and references-per-article) of bioinformatics journals and their related subfields collected from the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The findings showed that bioinformatics journals' citations are field-dependent, with scattered patterns in article life span and citing propensity. Bioinformatics journals originally derived from biology-related subfields have shorter article life spans, more citing on average, and higher impact factors. Those journals, derived from mathematics and statistics, demonstrate converse citation patterns. Journal impact factors were normalized, taking into account the impacts of article life spans !
 and citing propensity. A comparison of these normalized factors to JCR journal impact factors showed rearrangements in the ranking orders of a number of individual journals, but a high overall correlation with JCR impact factors.

Abstract:
Using inaccurate quotations can propagate misleading information, which might affect the management of patients. The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of quotation inaccuracy in the peer-reviewed orthopaedic literature related to the scaphoid. We randomly selected 100 papers from ten orthopaedic journals. All references were retrieved in full text when available or otherwise excluded. Two observers independently rated all quotations from the selected papers by comparing the claims made by the authors with the data and expressed opinions of the reference source. A statistical analysis determined which article-related factors were predictors of quotation inaccuracy. The mean total inaccuracy rate of the 3840 verified quotes was 7.6%. There was no correlation between the rate of inaccuracy and the *impact factor* of the journal. Multivariable analysis identified the journal and the type of study (clinical, biomechanical, methodological, case report or review) as!
  important predictors of the total quotation inaccuracy rate.
We concluded that inaccurate quotations in the peer-reviewed orthopaedic literature related to the scaphoid were common and slightly more so for certain journals and certain study types. Authors, reviewers and editorial staff play an important role in reducing this inaccuracy.

Abstract:
The purpose of this evaluation was to assess the development of sports medicine in Germany with regard to research, teaching and clinical work. Therefore, the evaluation which had assessed the performance in the years 1996-2000 was repeated with identical methods for the years 2004-2008.22 of the 26 university-based institutions that had participated in the first evaluation could be assessed again. Performance and resources of these institutes were compared in pairs over both periods. Institutions which were members of non-medical faculties had again fewer staff, smaller budgets and less original publications in journals with lower impact factors than those belonging to medical faculties. When each publication was given the *impact factor* (IF) of the respective journal, the average IF per publication increased by 223% from the first to the second evaluation period. During this time, the IF of the 10 journals in which the evaluated institutions published most frequently incr!
 eased by only 83%. These data demonstrate that incorporation of sports medicine into a medical faculty is associated with better resources and scientific performance and that there is a trend to publish more papers in journals with higher IF by these institutions. The results of this evaluation confirm the results of the Evaluation 1996-2000.

Abstract:
The authors used social network analysis of citation data to study the flow of information and relative influence of 17 professional counseling journals. Although the Journal of Counseling & Development ranked very highly in all measures of journal influence, several division journals emerged as key players in the flow of information within the counseling profession. Results highlight the many facets of journal influence and the fallacy of using single measures, such as journal *impact factor*, to rank professional counseling journals.

Abstract:
The study examines the h-index of textile researchers in Spain and, for the first time, provides information, on the range of values of this index in the area of textile-related knowledge. This paper reports on a study of 10 scientific production indicators for Spanish textile researchers over the period 1955-2009. The population studied consisted of 73 researchers affiliated with 6 different institutions. Textile investigators represent a heterogeneous community, since they come from different areas of knowledge. The h-index studied presents a positive correlation, ranging between intense and notable, with the number of publications, publications by year, number of citations, citations per year, number of citations received by the most cited publication. The correlation is significant but negative concerning the percentage of authors' non-cited publications. The Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientficas (CSIC) has higher levels than the other institutions for the follo!
 wing indicators: h-index, number of publications, citations, citation per year, maximum number of citations. The Instituto Tecnologico Textil de Alcoy (AITEX) has the highest levels for the following indicators: h-index per year of activity and percentage of non-cited publications. Finally, a relation is shown between the h-index and three (latent) factors that explain the other indicators and provide three dimensions of the h-index.

Impact Factor; Sentiment Analysis; SentiWordNet; Spearman Ranking Correlation

Abstract:
The impact of a publication is often measured by the number of citations it received, this number being taken as a proxy for the relevance of published work. However, a higher citation index does not necessarily mean that a publication necessarily had a positive feedback from citing authors, as a citation can represent a negative criticism. In order to overcome this limitation, we used sentiment analysis to rate citations as positive, neutral or negative. Adjectives are initially extracted from the citations, with the SentiWordNet lexicon being used to rate the degree of positivity and negativity for each adjective. Relevance scores were then computed to rank citations according to the sentiment expressed in the text corresponding to each citation. As expected for accurate information retrieval systems, higher precision rates were observed in the initial points of the curve. The SRC (0.6728) computed using number of raw citations is lower than the SRC (0.7397) observed by th!
 e ranking generated using sentiment scores (Table 3). Conclusion: This result indicates that child articles with higher values of relevance score were in general the ones expressing positive opinion about their parents. Therefore, the ranking generated by sentiment scores had an improved accuracy.

Abstract:
The paper analyzes the leading journals in neurosciences using quantifiable research assessment measures (RAM), highlights the similarities and differences in alternative RAM, shows that several RAM capture similar performance characteristics of highly cited journals, and shows that some other RAM have low correlations with each other, and hence add significant informational value. Alternative RAM are discussed for the Thomson Reuters ISI Web of Science database (hereafter ISI). The RAM that are calculated annually or updated daily include the classic 2-year *impact factor* (2YIF), 5-year *impact factor*, immediacy (or zero-year *impact factor*), Eigenfactor score, article influence score, C3PO (citation performance per paper online), h-index, Zinfluence, PI-BETA (papers ignored by even the authors), 2-year and historical self-citation threshold approval ratings, *impact factor* inflation, and cited article influence (CAI). The RAM are analyzed for 26 highly cited journals i!
 n the ISI category of neurosciences. The paper finds that the Eigenfactor score and PI-BETA are not highly correlated with the other RAM scores, so that they convey additional information regarding journal rankings, that article influence is highly correlated with some existing RAM, so that it has little informative incremental value, and that CAI has additional informational value to that of article influence. Harmonic mean rankings of the 13 RAM criteria for the 26 highly cited journals are also presented. Emphasizing the 2YIF of a journal to the exclusion of other informative RAM criteria is shown to lead to a distorted evaluation of journal performance and influence, especially given the informative value of several other RAM.

Abstract:
The article discusses alternative Research Assessment Measures (RAM), with an emphasis on the Thomson Reuters ISI Web of Science database (hereafter ISI). Some analysis and comparisons are also made with data from the SciVerse Scopus database. The various RAM that are calculated annually or updated daily are defined and analyzed, including the classic 2-year *impact factor* (2YIF), 2YIF without journal self-citations (2YIF*), 5-year *impact factor* (5YIF), Immediacy (or zero-year *impact factor* (0YIF)), *Impact Factor* Inflation (IFI), Self-citation Threshold Approval Rating (STAR), Eigenfactor score, Article Influence, C3PO (Citation Performance Per Paper Online), h-index, Zinfluence, and PI-BETA (Papers - Ignored By Even The Authors). The RAM are analyzed for 10 leading econometrics journals and 4 leading statistics journals. The application to econometrics can be used as a template for other areas in economics, for other scientific disciplines, and as a benchmark for new!
 er journals in a range of disciplines. In addition to evaluating high quality research in leading econometrics journals, the paper also compares econometrics and statistics, alternative RAM, highlights the similarities and differences of the alternative RAM, finds that several RAM capture similar performance characteristics for the leading econometrics and statistics journals, while the new PI-BETA criterion is not highly correlated with any of the other RAM, and hence conveys additional information regarding RAM, highlights major research areas in leading journals in econometrics, and discusses some likely future uses of RAM, and shows that the harmonic mean of 13 RAM provides more robust journal rankings than relying solely on 2YIF.

Abstract:
Model Based Development within the area of embedded systems hardware-software co-design has been demonstrated to be effective to handle system complexity. Several modeling formalisms are widely used within this area. The work presented in this paper aims to contribute for the usage of Petri nets as the system-level specification language within model-based development of embedded systems using co-design techniques. System model partitioning into modules and components ready to be implemented in hardware or software and be deployed into a distributed platform is a major concern within co-design methodologies. Having Petri net as underlying modeling formalisms the net splitting operation can be used in order to decompose the model into several sub-models. The resulted sub-models can be seen as components and executed in parallel communicating using directed synchronous communication channels. In this paper it is presented how to modify the splitted model in order to be conside!
 red as composable modules, supporting module reutilization, which is a key *impact factor* within engineering activities. The proposed techniques rely on keeping the module interface unchanged in order to support the integration of the module in new situations.

Abstract:
This paper contains a summary of criticism on use of the *impact factor* (IF) as an indicator of the quality of work published by researchers. The criticism is directed to authors who are trying to publish in journals with IF. The claim is they are renouncing their own identity and prioritizing their curriculum over the usefulness of their research. The authors challenge this criticism by arguing that stringent assessment criteria stimulate the internationalisation of science, that there is a consensus in the scientific community about the imperfections of FI and its acceptance as a valid and necessary tool for scientific evaluation, and that the debate over identity does little to resolve the international invisibility of nursing research written up in Spanish. Proposals are outlined on how to benefit from the strengths of this system to increase the visibility of nursing research, to develop strategies for including journals written in Spanish in the Journal Citation Repor!
 ts (JCR), to encourage professional training and interdisciplinary cooperation, to promote the publication of research conducted in postgraduate programs, and to claim an editorial commitment for indexing their journals in the JCR. It can be concluded that, although difficult, it would be possible to increase the visibility of nursing scientific research in Spanish.

Abstract:
With the increasing shift in focus from basic science to translational research, stronger emphasis has been placed on developing research expertise for real-world applications. A well-designed PhD programme set out to meet the exacting standards and novel requirements in the field of biomedicine and health sciences is therefore essential in the 21st century.
Other than stream lining the objectives with the Bologna Process, experiential projects and research have also been actively integrated into the PhD programmes in Europeto meet the quality assurance and outcome assessment criteria in our modern society. The quality of a PhD programme therefore should be assessed both by drawing references to the academic output of the research institution as well as the academic and industrial relevance i.e. value-addedness of the graduate students. The scientific and transferrable skills that students have developed in a PhD programme should be applicable in settings such as education, health services, business and government. Quality and quantity of research publications, invitations to scientific conferences, prizes and personal accolades, coursework assessment, transferable skills acquired serve as excellent indicators of the quality of PhD students, which also directly reflects the robustness of the PhD programme. On an institution-wide!
  level, the quality of the PhD programme should be assessed by a number of key performance indicators (KPI), which includes the volume and *impact factor* of their academic publications, scientific profiles and reputation of the research personnel within the institution, the inherent ability to identify and recognize relevant research areas within and between academic institutions for the cross-pollination of complementary ideas to materialize useful collaborations, generations of patents, adherence to ethical standards and most importantly, the possession of a sizeable research endowment that provides the fuel for the academic engines.
A European-wide standardized set of assessment criteria should therefore be taken into consideration by the relevant authorities that oversee the quality of PhD education in biomedical and health sciences. Based on this centralized assessment system, ranking academic institutions may or may not be necessary according to a number of reasons that will be explored in this article.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: Impact Factors (IF) are widely used surrogates to evaluate single articles, in spite of known shortcomings imposed by cite distribution skewness. We quantify this asymmetry and propose a simple computer-based procedure for evaluating individual articles.
METHOD: (a) Analysis of symmetry. Journals clustered around nine *Impact Factor* points were selected from the medical "Subject Categories" in Journal Citation Reports 2010. Citable items published in 2008 were retrieved and ranked by granted citations over the Jan/2008 - Jun/2011 period. Frequency distribution of cites, normalized cumulative cites and absolute cites/decile were determined for each journal cluster. (b) Positive Predictive Value. Three arbitrarily established evaluation classes were generated: LOW (1.3 <= IF<2.6); MID: (2.6 <= IF<3.9); HIGH: (IF >= 3.9). Positive Predictive Value for journal clusters within each class range was estimated. (c) Continuously Variable Rating. An alternative evaluation procedure is proposed to allow the rating of individually published articles in comparison to all articles published in the same journal within the same year of publication. The general guiding lines for the construction of a totally dedicated software program are d!
 elineated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Skewness followed the Pareto Distribution for (1<K<2). Observed Positive Predictive Values ranged from 24 - 43% for over 98% of the selected journals in the ISI database. Continuously Variable Rating is shown to be a simple computer based procedure capable of accurately providing a valid rating for each article within the journal and time frame in which it was published.

Abstract:
The publication of the results of research in distance education in peer-reviewed journals is an important means of communication, dissemination, discourse and reporting of practice in the field. This study is an attempt at analyzing the relationships and influences among these journals. It is based upon a sample of 1416 scholarly articles published over six years in the 12 most widely cited international distance education journals. The bibliographic description and network analysis help us to investigate the structure and patterns of information exchange within the field of distance education research. The analysis of this citation network and the similarities in citation patterns reveals a clear core/periphery structure among distance education journals. The results of this analysis help us to understand the regional, international, impact and influence factors related to publication in these journals and across the field.
