TITLE: Editorial: Triple Helix and innovation in Asia using
scientometrics, webometrics, and informetrics (Article, English)
AUTHOR: Khan, GF; Park, HW
SOURCE: SCIENTOMETRICS 90 (1). JAN 2012. p.1-7 SPRINGER,
DORDRECHT
SEARCH TERM(S): SCIENTOMETRIC* item_title; INFORMETRIC* item_title
KEYWORDS: Triple helix; University-industry-government relations;

KEYWORDS+: INDUSTRY-GOVERNMENT RELATIONS; DYNAMICS
ABSTRACT: There is a burgeoning interest among academic scientists
and policy-makers in the development and employment of TH (Triple Helix) and WSI (Webometrics, Scientometrics, and Informetrics) research methods.
However, the international literature has not systematically examined TH and WSI approaches in an Asian context. Furthermore, previous literature published in international journals does not adequately address the social forces shaping TH development in Asia. Therefore, the purpose of this special issue is to bring researchers together to discuss university- industry-government (U-I-G) relations and innovation diffusion in Asia employing WSI alongside other methods.

TITLE: Measuring science-technology interactions using patent
citations and author-inventor links: an exploration analysis from Chinese
nanotechnology (Editorial Material, English)
AUTHOR: Wang, GB; Guan, JC
SOURCE: JOURNAL OF NANOPARTICLE RESEARCH 13 (12). DEC 2011.
p.6245-6262 SPRINGER, DORDRECHT
SEARCH TERM(S): CITATION* item_title;

KEYWORDS+: SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE; NANO-SCIENCE; NANOSCIENCE;

ABSTRACT: This article contributes to the growing study on the
interactions between science and technology with China's evidence in the field of nanotechnology, based on the database of United States Patent and Trademark Office. The analysis is focused during the period of 1991- 2008, a rapid increasing period for the development of nanotechnology.
Using the non-patent references cited by patents, we first investigate the science-technology connections in the context of Chinese nanotechnology, especially in institutional sectors and its application fields. Those patents, produced by academic researchers and directed towards basic scientific knowledge, generally cite more scientific references with a higher proportion of self-citations. It is interesting to find that patents contributed by collaborations between public organizations and corporations seldom contain scientific references.
Following an interesting path on matching the data of publications and patents, we establish the author-inventor links in this emerging field.
Author-inventors, who are co-active in publishing and patenting, are at the very top of the most prolific and highly cited researchers. Finally, we employ social network analysis to explore the characteristics of scientific and technological networks generated by co-authorship and co- invention data, to investigate the position and the role of patenting- publishing scientists in these research networks.

TITLE: How ownership affects the growth strategies of scientific
journals A study of economics journals 1950 to 2000 (Article, English)
AUTHOR: Day, C
SOURCE: ASLIB PROCEEDINGS 63 (5). 2011. p.445-463 EMERALD GROUP
PUBLISHING LIMITED, BINGLEY
SEARCH TERM(S): JOURNALS item_title
KEYWORDS: Journals; Articles; Growth; Publishers; Strategies;
Ownership
ABSTRACT: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine how
journals expanded to accommodate the growth in scholarly writing from 1950 to 2000, and how the policy response differed between for-profit and non-profit publishers.
Design/methodology/approach - Taking economics as an example and using an authoritative list of journals, data were collected and analyzed for the first issue of each decade on new journals, frequency of issues, number of articles published and pages per issue. Each journal was assigned to one of three ownership categories and growth policies analyzed separately for each.
Findings - Overall primary reliance was placed on launching new journals and increasing the frequency of issue. However, there was a marked difference between for-profits and non-profits. The former launched most new journals and increased publication frequency while keeping individual issues quite short. By contrast, the latter added few journals or issues, but did systematically include more articles in each issue.
Originality/value - This paper looks behind the general growth in scholarly literature to analyze how journals have used the available tools - new journals, more frequent issues, and longer issues - to accommodate the dramatic increase in the number of articles written.
Particularly original is the demonstration that for-profits and non- profits have used these tools in very different ways.

TITLE: Getting cited: Does open access help? (Article, English)
AUTHOR: Gaule, P; Maystre, N
SOURCE: RESEARCH POLICY 40 (10). DEC 2011. p.1332-1338 ELSEVIER

SEARCH TERM(S): CITED item_title
KEYWORDS: Open access; Knowledge diffusion; Scientific publishing;
Citations; Self-selection
KEYWORDS+: CITATION ADVANTAGE; ARTICLES; IMPACT; DOWNLOADS; SCIENCE
ABSTRACT: Cross-sectional studies typically find positive
correlations between free availability of scientific articles ('open
access') and citations. Using a number of instruments as plausible sources of exogeneous variation, we find no evidence for a causal effect of open access on citations. We provide theory and evidence suggesting that authors of higher quality papers are more likely to choose open access in hybrid journals which offer an open access option. Self- selection mechanisms may thus explain the discrepancy between the positive correlation found in Eysenbach (2006) and other cross-sectional studies and the absence of such correlation in the field experiment of Davis et al. (2008). (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT: This article examines co-authorship networks of
researchers publishing in Electronic Markets-The International Journal of Networked Business (EM). The authors visualize the co-authorship network and provide descriptive statistics regarding the degree to which researchers are embedded in the co-authorship network. They develop and test seven hypotheses associating the researchers' embeddedness in the co- authorship network with the number of the researchers' citations. Results indicate that author who publish co-authored articles in EM have their EM articles (whether co-authored or not) cited more frequently than those who publish EM articles only in their own names, and that the more they co-author the more they are cited because they are located in the center of a co-authorship network.
