ABSTRACT: This paper addresses how countries placed a different
intellectual focus on the management of technology and innovation (MOT)
research in ten leading MOT specialty journals published in 2000-2009.
The result confirms that each country has quite diverse relative research
interests and performances in MOT domains. Among the top seven leading
countries in MOT research, the US has a comparative advantage in project
management (PJM); the UK has one in social change (SCH); and Spain has
one in intellectual property (IPR). The other four countries show much
more dynamic observations. Netherlands has clearly a comparative
advantage in technology policy (TPO), while Taiwan has one in technology
analysis and forecast (TAF), Germany in entrepreneurship (ENT), and Italy
in technology transfer and commercialization (TTC).
This paper contributes to the MOT community by providing much clearer
evidence of how countries become differently positioned in the global MOT
arena. These empirical findings demonstrate significant differences in
the comparative competitiveness of countries involved in MOT research
that were little known earlier. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

KEYWORDS+: SCIENCE
ABSTRACT: This article investigates citations metrics as an
institutional phenomenon from two perspectives: first it tries to
articulate the role of citation metrics within a Gramscian framework;
second it compares citation patterns from orthodox and heterodox economic
journals to gain insights on the current economic discourse.
Complementary to this general question the role of the Review of Radical
Political Economics within citation metrics will be discussed.

ABSTRACT: Although scholarship in management learning and education
(MLE) has existed for many years, its volume and visibility have
increased dramatically over the past decade. With the addition of Academy
of Management Learning and Education (AMLE) in 2002 and Decision Sciences
Journal of Innovative Education (DSJIE) in 2003 to the long-established
journals of Management Learning (ML) and Journal of Management Education
(JME), the number of major journals dedicated to MLE scholarship doubled.
As such, it seems a good time to examine the current state of MLE
research in terms of multiple indicators of scholarly legitimacy.
Accordingly, we review 6 years (2002-2007) of primary research studies in
these "Big-Four" MLE scholarship journals with respect to consequential,
procedural, structural, and personal legitimacy (Suchman, 1995) and
compare them to articles from the premiere empirical management journal,
Academy of Management Journal (AMJ). Results suggest differences in
legitimacy across journals, with AMLE leading the group of MLE journals
along most indicators. Suggestions for both authors and editors to
further advance the field's legitimacy are offered.

ABSTRACT: This paper estimates cost efficiency scores using the
bootstrap bias-corrected procedure, including variables for teaching and
research, for the performance of university hospitals in the Nordic
countries. Previous research has shown that hospital provision of
research and education interferes with patient care routines and inflates
the costs of health care services, turning university hospitals into
outliers in comparative productivity and efficiency analyses. The
organisation of patient care, medical education and clinical research as
well as available data at the university hospital level are highly
similar in the Nordic countries, creating a data set of comparable
decision-making units suitable for a cross-country cost efficiency
analysis. The results demonstrate significant differences in university
hospital cost efficiency when variables for teaching and research are
entered into the analysis, both between and within the Nordic countries.
The results of a second-stage analysis show that the most important
explanatory variables are geographical location of the hospital and the
share of discharges with a high case weight. However, a substantial
amount of the variation in cost efficiency at the university hospital
level remains unexplained.

ABSTRACT: Short and rapid publication of research findings has many
advantages. However, there is another side of the coin that needs careful
consideration. We argue that the most dangerous aspect of a shift toward
"bite-size" publishing is the relationship between study size and
publication bias. Findings based on a single study or a study based on a
limited sample size are more likely to be false positive, because the
false positive rate remains constant, whereas the true positive rate (the
power) declines as sample size declines. Pressure on productivity and on
novelty value further exacerbates the problem.

ABSTRACT: An academic journal's impact factor (hereafter JIF) is an
average measure of the citation count of individual articles published in
that journal. JIF is used to assess merit, predict impact, and allocate
resources, but the actual number of citations to individual articles is
only modestly correlated with the JIFs of the journals in which they are
published. We counted PsycInfo citations to 1,133 articles published in
nine leading psychology journals (1996-2005). Both article length (r
=.31) and reference list length (r = .41) predicted log-transformed
citation counts better than JIF (r = .27). Articles with fewer graphs and
more structural equation models were more frequently cited. Citation
count was better predicted by a model based on article length and
citation count rather than JIF. When JIF was used to predict citation
count, the impact of women authors and social science research was
underestimated. These findings distinguish impact in science, as measured
by JIF, from actual impact in psychology, and they show the unintended
consequences of using a measure of the former to predict the latter.

KEYWORDS+: ENGLISH
ABSTRACT: To simplify for reasons of conciseness, Millar's article
(2009) makes claims (a)-(c): (a) Contrary to Leech's (2003) evidence from
the Brown family of corpora that the overall frequency of the modal
auxiliaries significantly declined between 1961 and 1991, Millar's (2009)
investigation of modals in the TIME corpus shows that the overall
frequency of modals has been increasing. (b) The TIME corpus has
advantages over the Brown family - notably it has a large number of
temporal data points, compared with just two data points (1961 and 1991)
for the Brown family, the corpus is much larger, covers a much longer
time span, and although restricted in genre, is robustly representative
of that genre. (c) Compared with the findings of Millar (2009),
therefore, the results of Leech (2003) are questionable. In response, I
aim to show that overall the modal auxiliaries have indeed been declining
in frequency, and that conclusion (c) is unjustified.

ABSTRACT: This paper reviews a number of recent contributions that
demonstrate that a blend of welfare economics and statistical analysis is
useful in the evaluation of the citations received by scientific papers
in the periodical literature. The paper begins by clarifying the role of
citation analysis in the evaluation of research. Next, a summary of
results about the citation distributions' basic features at different
aggregation levels is offered. These results indicate that citation
distributions share the same broad shape, are highly skewed, and are
often crowned by a power law. In light of this evidence, a novel
methodology for the evaluation of research units is illustrated by
comparing the high- and low-citation impact achieved by the US, the
European Union, and the rest of the world in 22 scientific fields.
However, contrary to recent claims, it is shown that mean normalization
at the sub-field level does not lead to a universal distribution.
Nevertheless, among other topics subject to ongoing research, it appears
that this lack of universality does not preclude sensible normalization
procedures to compare the citation impact of articles in different
scientific fields.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we firstly use journal data in CSCD to
screen key indicators for journals evaluation by correlation analysis;
then we package large-scale journal data by interval data analysis method
and demonstrate the overall data set information through visual tools.
Meanwhile, we construct comprehensive evaluation index structure by
principal component analysis and sort journals in Chemical Sciences to
show the effectiveness and practicality of this evaluation method.
Finally, based on analysis results and combined with the development of
Chinese academic journals, this paper proposes policy recommendation for
evaluation management of academic journal.

ABSTRACT: The research performance of mainland China universities
is evaluated in this study from the global perspective. Based on the
Essential Science Indicators (ESI) database, the main research concern is
the academic output in overall fields and the strength in certain fields
of top 20 universities ranking by citation. Indicators about the numbers
of paper and citation are obtained from ESI to interpret the general
academic performance of universities. The other indicators are considered
as the population of faculty, the activity index, as well as the relative
impact index. The statistical results show that the universities in
mainland China in terms of quality and quantity of research output have
considerable gap. Meanwhile, a large degree of influence to research
concentrated in some specific fields is existed.
