ABSTRACT: This work examines a scientometric model that tracks the
emergence of an identified technology from initial discovery (via
original scientific and conference literature), through critical
discoveries (via original scientific, conference literature and patents),
transitioning through Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and ultimately
on to commercial application. During the period of innovation and
technology transfer, the impact of scholarly works, patents and on-line
web news sources are identified. As trends develop, currency of
citations, collaboration indicators, and on-line news patterns are
identified. The combinations of four distinct and separate searchable on-
line networked sources (i.e., scholarly publications and citation,
worldwide patents, news archives, and on-line mapping networks) are
assembled to become one collective network (a dataset for analysis of
relations). This established network becomes the basis from which to
quickly analyze the temporal flow of activity (searchable events) for the
example subject domain we investigated.

ABSTRACT: Thomson Reuters has developed a novel Book Citation
Index. This will become available from late 2011 and will contain a
structured selection of scholarly books, categorised by discipline and
book type. The Citation Index will be managed using similar inclusion
criteria to those applied elsewhere in the Web of Science, so as to
ensure that there is comparability across output types. The accurate and
comprehensive citation links in the Index are primarily to enable cited
items to be readily discovered. It is likely, however, that they will
prove an informative source of analytical material for the scientometrics
and research evaluation community.

TITLE: Is Google Scholar useful for Bibliometrics? A Webometric
Analysis (Article, English)

ABSTRACT: Google Scholar, the academic bibliographic database
provided free-of-charge by the search engine giant Google, has been
suggested as an alternative or complementary resource to the commercial
citation databases like Web of Knowledge (ISI/Thomson) or Scopus
(Elsevier). In order to check the usefulness of this database for
bibliometric analysis, and especially research evaluation, a novel
approach is introduced. Instead of names of authors or institutions, a
webometric analysis of academic web domains is performed.
The bibliographic records for 225 top level web domains (TLD) and 19,240
university institutional web domains has been collected from the Google
Scholar database. About 63.8% of the records are hosted in generic
domains like com or org, confirming that most of the Scholar data come
from large commercial or non-profit sources. One third of the other items
(10.6% from the global) are hosted by the 10,442 universities that have
at least one record in Scholar. The individual analysis show that
universities from China, Brazil, Spain, Taiwan or Indonesia are far
better ranked than expected. In some cases, large international or
national databases, or repositories are responsible for the high numbers
found. However, in many others, the local contents, including papers in
low impact journals, popular scientific literature, and unpublished
reports or teaching supporting materials are clearly overrepresented.
Google Scholar lacks the quality control needed for its use as a
bibliometric tool; the larger coverage it provides consists in some cases
of items not comparable with those provided by other similar databases.

ABSTRACT: In this study we analyze the relation between age and
scientific performance. The study is based on a large-scale cross-
sectional analysis involving 11,500 Norwegian university researchers. In
addition to analyzing whether there are significant age differences in
the publication and citation rates at an overall national level, we
investigate the issue according to variables such as the academic
position, research disciplines and gender. We find that there are large
age differences in scientific productivity. The youngest and oldest
researchers have the lowest annual production of publications. The
productivity is increasing by age, reaching a peak late in the career,
and declining thereafter. The study shows that persons above 60 are
significantly less cited than their younger colleagues.

ABSTRACT: The need for sustainable evaluation of the research
process and performance in Nigerian universities cannot be
overemphasised. The present study used bibliometric analysis with
publication output as a major indicator to evaluate research performance
and productivity in Nigerian universities. The research results revealed
that the first generation universities owned by the federal government
are the five most productive universities in Nigeria. Biotechnology and
applied microbiology is the most productive subject area, while research
in basic sciences (physics, mathematics and chemistry) is low since these
subjects are not among the top 20 subject areas in Nigeria. The results
also revealed significant growth and progress in research and
publications in Nigerian universities in the late 2000s. In terms of
citation count and analysis, the University of Ibadan tops the list with
7.5 cites per article and a 38 h-index. It is recommended that more
resources should be put into research in the basic sciences for effective
scientific/technological development in Nigeria. It is further
recommended that the National Universities Commission (NUC) generate
relevant parameters/indicators for the national evaluation and ranking of
Nigerian universities. Developing a national database of all the
researchers, with their publications, at Nigerian universities is highly
recommended.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the development of a new journal
ontology to facilitate the production of bibliometric data. A number of
approaches have been used to design journal-level taxonomies or
ontologies, and the scholarly research and practical application of these
systems have revealed their various benefits and limitations. To date,
however, no single classification scheme has been widely adopted by the
international bibliometric community. In light of these factors, the new
classification presented here-featuring a hierarchical, three-level
classification tree-was developed based on best-practice taxonomies.
Categories were modelled on those of existing journal classifications
(ISI, CHI, ERA), and their groupings of journals acted as "seeds" or
attractors for journals in the new classification. Individual journals
were assigned to single, mutually exclusive categories via a hybrid
approach combining algorithmic methods and expert judgment. Notably, the
classification was designed to be as inclusive as possible of newer
fields of inquiry; general and multidisciplinary journals; and the range
of arts and humanities disciplines. The new scientific journal ontology
is freely available (it can be found at www.sciencemetrix.com) under a
creative commons license and is operational in 18 languages.

ABSTRACT: Scientific collaboration is increasing on nearly all
fronts. In most fields of inquiry, the proportions of multiple authors',
multiple institutions', and multiple countries' papers have increased
regularly since the birth of scientific journals. Two questions that are
frequently asked are: how does collaboration compare from one place to
the other, and how does the intensity of collaboration between partners
compare in systems with multiple players? For obvious reasons, absolute
numbers do not reveal much, but it has been known since the 1970s that
the percentages of collaboration present an inverse relationship relative
to the number of papers. This paper presents scale-independent methods to
examine how frequently collaboration occurs as a function of size. In
addition to these scale-adjusted statistics, which are based on the use
of the Katz normalization method, this paper proposes a new method to
compute a scale-adjusted preference index of collaboration between
entities of various sizes. Examples are provided for the world, the
European Research Area ( ERA), and the US states, as well as for Canadian
universities.

ABSTRACT: Not knowing enough about the similarities or differences
of citation structures between different types of publications creates
problems related to whether citation maps of research fields based on Web
of Science/ISI data are representative of research fields as a whole or
if they are a representation of how WoS perceives the field, not the
least in the humanities and the social sciences. To investigate this
problem, the citation structures in entrepreneurship research were
analyzed using citation data both coming out of WoS-indexed journal
articles and citation data from 12 entrepreneurship research handbooks.
The datasets were analyzed by studying the age of references, the co-
citation structures and also, citation overlaps. The results show
substantial similarities between the two data sets: the distribution of
the age of the references is almost identical, the co-citation structures
in form of co-citation maps have strong similarities both in terms of
identifiable networks as well as which cited authors are grouped together
and there is also a strong citation overlap between the two different
publication types.

ABSTRACT: Using citation analysis, sets of documents can be
compared as independent samples; for example, in terms of average
citation counts using potentially different reference sets. From this
perspective, the size of samples matters only for the statistical
significance testing of differences and the error estimation. Using the
percentile rank approach, differences among citation distributions can be
studied in a single scheme. The comparison among the sets reveals that
different sizes of the samples affect the weighing of the probabilities
and therefore the rankings. We distinguish among (1) the normalization of
papers against external reference sets, (2) the normalization in terms of
frequencies relative to the margin-totals of independent versus dependent
samples, and (3) the potentially normative definition of percentile rank
classes for the evaluation (e. g., top-1% most highly cited; median,
etc.).

ABSTRACT: Journal classification systems have been used for many
years for a variety of purposes. Many different such systems exist, a
'best' classification system has never been identified and there is a
growing sense that a perfect journal classification system will never be
found. We explore this question further by proposing and calculating four
measures of journal specificity. We find that journal specificity has
multiple dimensions. Assuming that disciplines are by definition more
specific than broad, and that specificity has multiple dimensions, we
suggest that few journals are truly disciplinary. This calls into
question the validity of any journal-disciplinary classification system
when used for research evaluation.

ABSTRACT: This paper proposes that the knowledge production of
universities is related to their accumulation of intellectual capital
(IC). Therefore, universities with an historic process of the
accumulation of IC present an exponential growth in their scientific
production. This work studies the trends of the scientific publications
of Colombian universities and the relationship between these trends and
their IC. Universities were categorized into four groups according to the
growth in number of their publications: exponential growth -early-;
exponential growth -late-; linear growth and irregular growth. In
addition, we present some factors relating to the accumulation of IC in
Colombian universities.

ABSTRACT: While the methodological pitfalls of citation analysis
are subject to intense debate in bibliometric research the more technical
aspects of generating citation counts are sometimes lacking attention.
However, as citation counts play a central role both in evaluative and
descriptive bibliometrics they deserve more thorough consideration. In
our contribution we want to present first results of an ongoing research
project aiming at developing an error calculus for bibliometric methods.
As a first step we compared the outcome of different algorithms for
matching references with target documents using Web of Science data from
2007. This research in progress paper serves as a first exploration into
the distribution of errors in citations rates. The preliminary results of
our ongoing research suggest that the dispersion pattern of the resulting
citation counts differ according to object of analyses. The extent of
dispersion can be used as a simple measure for indicating the robustness
of citation counts.

ABSTRACT: The Hirsch-index (h-index) is calculated on citations
that papers (e. g. of authors or journals) receive. Hence we can consider
the h-index as calculated on a partition of the same set of citations.
In this paper we will study the h-index, dependent on the particular
partition of this set. We will do this in the discrete case as well as in
a continuous Lotkaian setting.
In the discrete setting we will determine h-indices of successive
refinements of partitions. We show that the corresponding h-indices do
not form a monotonic sequence and we determine the maximal value of an h-
index in such a system.
In the continuous Lotkaian setting we prove that, given a set of
citations of cardinality A, the h-index only depends on the average
number of citations that an author or a journal receives. This functional
dependence is calculated and we show that it has a unique maximum for
which formulae are given. This is the highest possible h-index, given a
set of citations of fixed cardinality. Examples confirm the theory.

ABSTRACT: Given the growing attention paid to technology diffusion
with the method of patent citation analysis, scholars and practitioners
alike need practices to assist them in better understanding the
interaction between science and technology. The main objective of the
paper proposing a hybrid documents co-citation analysis, tries to help
them in this task with a practical and replicable method. With the
patents citing Smalley RE in Derwent Innovations Index as the data
source, the paper achieved hybrid documents co-citation network through
two procedures at first, then made cluster analysis to get a better
understanding of technology diffusion from the macro and micro levels.
Furthermore, based on the concordance between network properties and
technology diffusion mechanisms, three indicators including degree,
betweenness and citation half-life, were created to mine the basic
documents in the critical position during the technology diffusion. At
last, the paper summarized the hybrid documents co-citation analysis in
practise, thus made the conclusion on the interaction between science and
technology that they undertook different functions and acted dominatingly
in the different period of technology diffusion, although they were co-
activity all the time.

ABSTRACT: Scientific misconduct is a worrying problem whose
incidence is increasing due to the increasingly competitive research
environment in many countries. Deja Vu is a publicly available database
of highly similar citations identified by eTBLAST from PubMed. We
performed a bibliometric analysis of 116 pairs of duplicated publications
whose earlier papers were published in the period 2004-2005. We selected
all the cases that have been confirmed by experts. Our aim was to
determine to what extent the duplicates with shared authors (SA) are
different from those with different authors (DA) in terms of citations
and other relevant variables. To this extent, we hope to contribute to a
better understanding of the scientific misconduct problem. Our results
reveal that there is a clear differentiation between the two types of
publications. In the case of papers with different authors, the
duplicates received fewer citations than the duplicates with shared
authors. Moreover, the DA duplicates are published with a delay of two
years on average, one year more than that for SA duplicates. This pattern
suggests that fraudulent scientists try to hide their scientific
misconduct.

ABSTRACT: The notion of 'core documents', first introduced in the
context of co-citation analysis and later re-introduced for bibliographic
coupling and extended to hybrid approaches, refers to the representation
of the core of a document set according to given criteria. In the present
study, core documents are used for the identification of new emerging
topics. The proposed method proceeds from independent clustering of
disciplines in different time windows. Cross-citations between core
documents and clusters in different periods are used to detect new,
exceptionally growing clusters or clusters with changing topics. Three
paradigmatic types of new, emerging topics are distinguished. Methodology
is illustrated using the example of three ISI Subject Categories selected
from the life sciences, applied sciences and the social sciences.

bibliometrics in Austria and reports on its level of awareness and its
acceptance. For this purpose an online survey addressed to Austrian
scientists was conducted and its results analyzed. In spite of emergent
and increasing activities in this field, the uptake of bibliometric
knowledge is slow and has much room for improvement in the Austrian
scientific community. The majority of responders agree on the need for a
more sophisticated bibliometric education and also indicate a willingness
to use existent bibliometric services.

ABSTRACT: This study takes a comprehensive approach toward the
evaluation of scientific journals. The author argues that analyses
measuring the impact of periodicals cannot be based on one single
citation-based indicator, but that multiple methods should be used to
capture the standing of a journal within the scientific community. Based
on a set of 45 physics journals, multidimensional evaluation methods are
described and applied. Different approaches are presented, which aim to
highlight the journal in all its different roles within the whole process
of scientific communication. Indicators and methods are grouped into five
dimensions; namely journal output, journal content, journal perception,
scientific communication and journal management. Furthermore, a lack of
communication is addressed between bibliometric research, where new or
newly named citation indicators emerge regularly, and applied journal
evaluation, which is more or less limited to the Impact Factor. The need
for standards involving multidimensional approaches is expressed.

ABSTRACT: In webometric research interlinking and co-inlinking has
been studied extensively, but co-outlinking has been used as a data
collection and research method only in a couple of studies before. Yet it
may have some potential as a tool for mapping shared interests of
organizations creating the outgoing links. This research studied this
potential of co-outlinking and mapped the shared interests of 54
municipalities in Finland. The research showed that co-outlinking can in
fact be used to map shared interests and perhaps even cooperation but the
method required a lot of manual cleansing and classification of the data.
Although the results were promising co-outlinking cannot be recommended
unless some improvements are developed for classification of the link
data.

same year (2004) by the same institute and predominantly by the same
authors. The study analyzes the total amount of citations and citation
impact observed in Web of Science (WoS) and Google Scholar (GS) received
during the five-year period 2004-09 (February) by the two publication
types, the citation distributions over the individual sample publications
and observed years as well as over external, institutional and personal
self-citations. The institute concerned is the Danish Institute for
International Studies (DIIS), Copenhagen. The results demonstrate that
the open access working papers publicly accessible through the DIIS e-
archive became far less cited than the corresponding sample of DIIS
journal articles published in printed form. However, highly cited working
papers have higher impact than the average of the lower half of cited
articles. Citation time series show identical distinct patterns for the
articles in WoS and GS and working papers in GS, more than doubling the
amount of citations received through the latter source.

ABSTRACT: Indicators that provide a means of evaluation of research
have been at the heart of bibliometric studies since the beginning of the
discipline. In this research-in-progress paper we introduce a new set of
measures and indicators in order to complement existing evaluation
methods of research excellence for single authors and highlight a new
facet of bibliometric methods. Existing measures normally use publication
and citation numbers as the basis for the calculation of an indicator.
The NUCA-set (Number of unique citing authors) of indicators uses the
number of authors that cited the evaluated author. These new indicators
visualize cases where an author's work might have accumulated many
citations but in reality only has been frequently cited by a small number
of people. The NUCA-set leads to a more balanced evaluation and a more
comprehensive evaluation profile if used in addition to already existing
indicators like the H-index or the citation rate.

ABSTRACT: Although peer review is likely to dominate quality
assessment of research in the future UK Research Excellence Framework
(REF), citation indictors will also be used in some subject areas to
support the peer-review process. However, traditional journal-based
citation indexes may be inadequate for the citation impact assessment of
book-based disciplines. This article examines whether online citations
from Google Books and Google Scholar can provide an alternative. We
compared the citation counts to books submitted to 2008 Research
Assessment Exercise (RAE - the forerunner of the REF) from Google Books
and Google Scholar with Scopus citations across seven book-based
disciplines (archaeology, law, politics and international studies,
philosophy, sociology, history, and communication, cultural and media
studies) based upon a sample of 1,000 authored books. Google books and
Google Scholar citations to authored books were 1.4 and 3.2 times bigger
than Scopus citations and their medians were also more than twice and
three times as high as Scopus citations respectively. This large number
of citations is evidence that in book-oriented disciplines in the social
sciences, arts and humanities, online book citations are needed to
support the peer-review process in the UK REF.

ABSTRACT: Brazilian science and technology system has been
expanding since the 1950s. As a result of this expansion Brazil has
increased its contribution to the world's scientific production indexed
in international databases. In more recent period, a stronger increase
was observed and gained repercussion in national and international media.
The aim of the present study is to investigate whether the recent growth
of scientific production means a true insertion of Brazilian science in
international scenario or a result of a larger inclusion of Brazilian
journals in informational databases.

ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the extent to which the
apparently higher productivity and citation impact of authors with high
levels of co-authorship depend on the way in which citation credit is
assigned. For articles in physics it compares two methods of allocating
credit, the standard (whole) counting system and the fractional counting
system. Although numerous studies have found that when the whole counting
system is used, more highly coauthoring researchers are more productive
and publish more highly cited articles, no study has established whether
this is true when the fractional counting system is used. This is
particularly important as findings on co-authorship can be used to
support the recent encouragement of co-authorship by research policy.
This study finds: (a) when whole counting is used, the productivity and
citation level increases with level of co-authorship; but (b) when
fractional counting is used, the productivity and citation level
decreases with level of co-authorship. This casts doubt on the received
wisdom about the advantage of co-authored research.

ABSTRACT: Three versions of a "filter" used to identify papers on
cancer research, as defined by Cancer Research UK and interpreted by four
experts, were compared. The first was based only on specialist journals
and had unacceptably low recall. The second was based also on title
words, and had both precision and recall above 0.9. The third was based
additionally on words in the abstract and/or keywords provided with the
paper: it improved the recall to almost unity but the precision was
severely degraded, with many false positives. The three filter versions
were compared in terms of the outputs of 15 countries in the Web of
Science in recent years, and in some instances gave differing indicators
of their performance (numbers of papers and citations) which could give
conflicting messages for science policy.

ABSTRACT: This study is based on the fact that the surnames of many
Russian scientists have gender endings, with "a" denoting a female, so
that the sex of most of them can be readily determined from the listing
of authors in the Web of Science (WoS). A comparison was made between the
proportion of females in 1985, 1995 and 2005, with a corresponding
analysis of the major fields in which they worked, their propensity to co-
author papers internationally (which often necessitates having the
opportunity to travel to conferences abroad to meet possible colleagues),
and their citation records. We found, as expected, that women had a
higher presence in the biological sciences and a very low presence in
engineering, mathematics and physics. Their citation scores, on a
fractionated basis, were lower than those for men in almost all fields
and years, and were not explained by their writing of fewer reviews and
papers in English (both of which lead to higher citations), or their
lower amount of international collaboration in 1995 and 2005 after Russia
had become a more open society.

ABSTRACT: The ISI-Impact Factors suffer from a number of drawbacks,
among them the incomparability among fields of science because of
systematic differences in citation behavior among fields. Can this
problem be counteracted by counting citation weights fractionally instead
of using whole numbers in the numerators? Fractional citation counts are
normalized in terms of the citing sources and thus would take into
account differences in citation behavior among fields of science.
Differences in the resulting distributions can be tested statistically
for their significance at different levels of aggregation. A list of
fractionally counted Impact Factors for 2008 is available online at
http://www.leydesdorff.net/weighted_if/weighted_if.xls. Using these
weighted impact factors, the in-between group variance among the thirteen
fields of science identified in the U.S. Science and Engineering
Indicators is no longer statistically significant. Although citation
behavior differs largely between disciplines, the reflection of these
differences in citation distributions cannot-vice versa-be used as a
reliable instrument for the classification (Leydesdorff & Bornmann, 2011).

ABSTRACT: In this paper we investigate the effects of co-citation
proximity on the quality of co-citation analysis through four experiments
of co-citation instances found in full-text scientific publications.
First, we compared the distributions of co-citation instances at four
levels of proximity in journal articles with the traditionally used
article-level co-citation counts. Second, we analyzed how co-citation
instances at different proximity levels are distributed across
organizational sections in articles. Third, the distribution of co-
citation proximity over different co-citation frequency groups is
investigated. Fourth, we identified the occurrences of co-citations at
different proximity levels with reference to the corresponding
traditional co-citation network. The results show that sentence-level co-
citations not only preserve the essential structure of the corresponding
traditional co-citation network but also form a much smaller subset of
the entire co-citation instances typically considered by traditional co-
citation analysis. Implications for improving our understanding of
underlying factors concerning co-citations and developing more efficient
co-citation analysis methods are discussed.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have shown that hybrid clustering
methods based on textual and citation information outperforms clustering
methods that use only one of these components. However, former methods
focus on the vector space model. In this paper we apply a hybrid
clustering method which is based on the graph model to map the Web of
Science database in the mirror of the journals covered by the database.
Compared with former hybrid clustering strategies, our method is very
fast and even achieves better clustering accuracy. In addition, it
detects the number of clusters automatically and provides a top-down
hierarchical analysis, which fits in with the practical application.
We quantitatively and qualitatively asses the added value of such an
integrated analysis and we investigate whether the clustering outcome
provides an appropriate representation of the field structure by
comparing with a text-only or citation-only clustering and with another
hybrid method based on linear combination of distance matrices. Our
dataset consists of about 8000 journals published in the period 2002-
2006. The cognitive analysis, including the ranked journals, term
annotation and the visualization of cluster structure demonstrates the
efficiency of our strategy.

ABSTRACT: The profile of the STI and the ISSI conferences series
are analyzed using the oral presentations. Both play a different role in
the development of quantitative science and technology studies. The
former is dominated by European authors and more oriented towards
applied, policy relevant research. At the latter more fundamental
contributions to the discipline are presented by an increasingly
globalizing research community. The coexistence of both series is an
added value for discipline's further development. To fully contribute the
STI conference series should geographically diversify both its author
population and its venues.

ABSTRACT: China has made great improvement in some critical
scientific subject, like nanoscience and nanotechnology. This study
explores the state-of-the-art developments of China in nanoscience and
nanotechnology, as the previous study showed that China has become the
second leading nation in terms of its share of "nano-prefixed"
publications all over the world. Patent applications are also included in
this study, as there are considerable efforts underway that aim to
commercialise nanotechnology, and it is also an important aspect of R&D
output. In particular, this study compares the rising pattern of nano-
publication and nano-patents, to showcase the gap which lies between the
knowledge base and technology base. Furthermore, this study investigates
the research focus for both publications and patents in nanoscience and
nanotechnology. The findings suggest that the strong presence of
publications in MATERIALS SCIENCE, PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY and APPLIED PHYSICS
are also in line with China's overall research focus; while there are
also many inventions focused on novel formulations of pharmaceutical
products which have recently applied in Chinese Traditional Medicine.
Finally, the cross-analysis of top organizations and Derwent
Classification indicates that the collaboration links between
organizations are relatively weak, though their technologies are highly
concentrated in some similar areas. Collaborative research is a double
edged-sword which may either mutually enhance the research base, or
damage to the competitive advantage in commercialization.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we examine the possible presence of anti-
commons dynamics in biotechnology by comparing citation patterns of
patent-paper pairs, i.e. scientific publications from which the contents
(subject, methodology, findings, discovery) is part of a patent
application. Patent-paper pairs have been detected by relying on text
mining algorithms. Starting from a dataset consisting of 948,432
scientific biotechnology publications and 88,994 EPO and USPTO
biotechnology patent documents, a total of 584 patent-paper pairs have
been identified. Forward citations patterns of those patent-paper pairs
have been compared with biotechnology patents and publications that are
not part of a patent-paper pairs. In terms of scientific citations,
patent-paper pairs receive considerable more citations than publication
without a patent counterpart. This is not the case for the technological
impact of patent-paper pairs; patent citation rates do not differ
significantly between patents with or without a scientific counterpart.
As such our findings do not provide evidence for the presence of anti-
commons effects stemming from the introduction of IP within scientific
activities in the field of biotechnology.

ABSTRACT: The Novosibirsk region is one of the most industrialized
in Siberia. In 1957 the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences of the
USSR (now Siberian Branch of the RAS (SBRAS)) was set up to stimulate a
rapid development of the Siberian and Far East research forces.
The goal of this mainly bibliometric, empirical study is to obtain
insight into R&D performance in the Novosibirsk region, its domestic and
international collaborations and the impact of new government science
policies focused on boosting the research and innovation activities of
regional universities. Key drivers of research performance are
institutions of the SBRAS. Second place in terms of research output
belongs to Novosibirsk State University. Its research focuses on hard
sciences. 75 % of its papers were published in collaboration with SBRAS
institutions. Research output is growing. Novosibirsk area's share of
RFBR grants was stable around 8%. Publications from RFBR grantees in 34
subject categories had a level-aggregated indicator value of 1 or higher.
In these hard-science areas Russian research develops in accordance with
global trends.
We observed a concentration of domestic collaboration in the Novosibirsk
area as well as a strong international collaboration with advanced
economies, in particular in the Asia-Pacific region.

ABSTRACT: This paper seeks to map out the emergence and evolution
of entrepreneurship as an independent field in the social science
literature from the early 1990's to 2009. Our analysis indicates that
entrepreneurship has grown steadily during the 1990's but has truly
emerged as a legitimate academic discipline in the latter part of the
00's. The field has been dominated by researchers from Anglo-Saxon
countries over the past twenty years, with particularly strong
representations from the US, UK, and Canada. The first results from our
structural analysis, which is based on a core document approach, point to
five large knowledge clusters. We characterize the clusters in detail and
assess the strength of the relationships between the clusters. We offer
some initial concluding thoughts on our results.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a journal indicator of citation
impact of a scientific-scholarly journal. It builds further upon Eugene
Garfield's groundbreaking ideas presented in many of his early and later
publications, by combining his concept of a journal impact factor with
his notion that "evaluation studies using citation data must be very
sensitive to all divisions, both subtle and gross, between areas of
research; and when they are found, the study must properly compensate for
disparities in citation potential (Garfield, 1979, p 249)". The proposed
indicator is based on a tailor made delimitation of a journal's subject
field, and takes into account the frequency and immediacy of citation and
database coverage in a subject field applying the concept of source or
citing-side field normalization. The first part of the paper outlines the
main features of SNIP. The second part discusses the base ideas of source
normalization and proposes research lines aimed to further explore its
potentialities in research assessment methodologies.

ABSTRACT: Individualistic nature of research in the humanities is a
common fact, as well as the notion that boundaries in humanities are
poorly defined. Using citation analysis we have to take into account
differences in citation practices not only between humanities and
sciences, but also inside narrower fields of humanities. In the current
study we observe differences between publication behaviour of historians
and archaeologists, examine some aspects of citation practices in those
fields, and show their effect on visibility.

ABSTRACT: Three group centrality measures-degree, closeness, and
betweenness-are utilized in this paper to explore the role of disciplines
in two journal co-citation networks by using 677 journals from 40
disciplines categorized by Web of Knowledge. The result shows that social
science disciplines play a more central role in knowledge communication
and interaction among disciplines than science discipline. Some science
disciplines, such as Computer Science, have become more dominant in terms
of the three centrality measures over time. The use of group centrality
measures provides a novel way of exploring role of disciplines in science
mapping and provides evidence that a more comprehensive result can be
obtained when all three of these measurements are utilized.

ABSTRACT: This paper compares "information management" (IM) and

examining the subject terms, author-supplied keywords and title words
that are used to describe IM and KM literature as well as the journals
that disseminate IM and KM research. Data was extracted from the Library,
Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA) database and
analysed using different computer-aided software programs. The strength
of association and coverage ratio between IM and KM and the subject
terms, author-supplied keywords, title words and journals that are common
in IM and KM literature were assessed, with a view to discovering the
relationship between the two concepts. It was observed that IM and KM are
related terms in that they share a number of subject terms, title words,
journals and author-supplied keywords. However, the strength of
association and coverage ratio were found to be too small, implying a
weak relationship between IM and KM. Recommendations for further research
are offered.

ABSTRACT: This paper develops a coherent research framework which
relates cognitive structure and the collaboration patterns into an
integrated socio-knowledge analysis of a given scientific community. The
framework extends co-word analysis combining it with social network
analysis by introducing a novel model. The new model maps actors from co-
authorship networks into a strategic diagram of scientists. The mapping
is based on cohesiveness and pervasiveness of issues each author has
published in the field. The paper adopts a longitudinal approach to trace
knowledge diffusion within peculiarity of a national level socio-
knowledge system identifying interplay in between scientists socio-
knowledge structures and their research strategies, and their evolutions
over time. The case covers Turkish management academia spanning the years
from 1922 until 2008. It is seen that, within local community, diffusion
of management knowledge is lead by academicians with certain socio-
knowledge properties: they have more social ties and more diversified
knowledge compared to the rest; knowledge they have is distinct compared
to their peers in the network; they hold certain part of their knowledge
exclusively, thus knowledge-wise they don't resemble the rest; but they
keep a level of common knowledge with the rest of the community. However,
academicians publishing at international arena do not show any
significantly differing socio-cognitive properties from each other,
instead, they are merely embedded in strongly connected groups.

ABSTRACT: Excellence or quality are often regarded as the holy
grail of science, and it is the main goal driving scientist to pursue
research that will influence the direction of their fields. This
excellence, however, has no standard definition and varies across
disciplines, and even from person to person, making it difficult to
evaluate research and reputation of researchers. In this work, we
introduce the general problem of studying the nature of reputation in the
context of computer science, providing preliminary results on its
relation with bibliometric indicators and hints for future experiments
that will foster a better understanding of reputation in the scientific
domain.

ABSTRACT: Even within a narrowly defined research speciality, the
citations among its papers may form a dense and complex network. In this
paper a new mapping approach is suggested and tested on a network of
papers on co-citation analysis. One way of mapping the dynamics of the
field is to reduce the number of direct citation links by successively
minimizing the citation year lag. Another approach is to remove the
weakest links from the network. When the two approaches are combined,
keeping only short and strong citation links, interesting decompositions
of the original citation network was found.

ABSTRACT: The object of the ongoing research reported here is to
analyze and comprehend the international research efforts in malaria
research derived from numerous programs and international initiatives,
such as published and indexed articles by the major scientific databases.
Our objective is to map the international and Brazilian research
production, skills and competence along with the key research topics and
themes of malaria research in the world and in Brazil. We also aim to
identify the pattern of malaria research funding, which should provide
subsidies to improve public policies in the field. References on the
subject obtained from the Science Citation Index (SCI) and PubMed Medline
(web edition) databases for the period 1997-2007 are analyzed and show
that the research takes place mainly in Europe and North America, not the
peripheral countries who are directly affected by the disease.
Internationally, the most substantial funding for malaria research came
from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and World Health
Organization (WHO). In Brazil, these were The National Council for
Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and the State of Sao
Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). These data are preliminary and we
intend to extend the searches to other databases and also use network
analysis to detect collaborative research groups or communities in this
area.

ABSTRACT: This document provides an analysis of scientometric
research in South Africa and it discusses sources of growth in the
country's research literature in general. South Africa is identified to
have limited expertise in the field revealed mainly during the last
decade. However, the country is ranked 21ST in the world among the
countries publishing in the journal Scientometrics and it is the only
African country with such a standing in the field. Identification of the
forces affecting positively the growth in the number of research
publications in the country indicates that the primary incentive fuelling
the recent growth is the new funding formula in the country which
subsidizes the universities by more than R100 000 for each publication
that their staff produces. The increase in the number of journals indexed
in the ISI Thomson Reuters database and the incorporation of social
sciences at the NRF have also affected the growth of research
publications, but to a lesser extent.

ABSTRACT: This investigation illustrates how allegedly 'excellence-
based' journal rankings have a bias in favour of mono-disciplinary
research and how this negatively affects the assessment of
interdisciplinary organisations. First, we use various mappings and
metrics to show how innovation studies units are more interdisciplinary
than business and management schools. Second, we provide evidence that
the journals in the top ranks of the Association of Business Schools'
rankings span a less diverse set of disciplines than lower ranked
journals. Third, we show that this bias results in a more favourable
performance assessment of the more disciplinary-focused business and
management schools. Fourth, we demonstrate that a citation-based analysis
of the units' performance challenges the ranking-based assessment. We
conclude that this case study illuminates a general mechanism through
which unduly narrowly-conceived rankings can suppress interdisciplinary
research.

review processes. A number of unexpected results were found, in
particular: (1) the low correlation between peer review outcome and
impact in time of the accepted contributions and (2) the presence of a
high level of randomness in the analyzed peer review processes.

ABSTRACT: This research paper in progress discusses some of the
common criticisms of peer review: Costs and Robustness, Nepotism
(conflict of interest), Sexism and Cognitive Bias. Attention is given to
the fact that much of the research reported fails on a crucial point: The
use of bibliometrics as a correlate for the grading and ranking done by
granting or evaluation committees (ad hoc or standing committees).
The full paper will extend the analysis using data from a selection of
finished projects and assessments. Results indicate that there are
systemic problems regarding peer review: Firstly, the positive bias in
university assessments based on ad hoc committees. Problems circulate
around the absence of robust benchmarks and the ad hoc selection of
experts. Secondly, the role of cognitive distance points to the power
mechanisms in selection processes for finding relevant reviewers.
Thirdly, the low levels of peer's performance (in bibliometric respect)
indicate that selection of peers is no longer to search for the best
possible peer, but instead, the pragmatic peer.

ABSTRACT: This article proposes a method for the detection and
visualization of research fronts within a broader research field. A
research front is defined as a grouping of publications on a research
topic using the same knowledge base in a broader context. The broader
context is defined by a field such as battery research, casting or
tribology, while the knowledge base is defined by references.
Some publications report on the usage of keywords, co-citations or
bibliographic coupling in the detection of research fronts. In this
article, agglomerations of bibliographically coupled publications with a
common knowledge base are identified and graphically represented by a
density function of publications per area unit. The knowledge base
becomes visible if publications with similar vectors of common citations
are associated. All bibliographically coupled publications are positioned
on a map of points generated by a spring model. The publications
positioned in a two dimensional space form areas of differing density of
points per area unit. The space dependent density is calculated using a
digital grid. The density function of papers per area unit is visualized
in a three dimensional plot. In this way, research fronts become visible
and can be quantified. The proposed methodology is demonstrated based on
a case study in the field of battery research.

ABSTRACT: Multivariate linear regression models indicate a tradeoff
in allocations of national R&D investments. Some components seem to
encourage publications, i.e. government funding, and spending in the
higher education sector. Other components encourage patenting, i.e.
industrial funding, and spending in the business sector. Our results help
explain why the US trails the EU in publications, because of its focus on
industrial funding-some 70% of its total R&D investment. Conversely, it
also helps explain why the EU trails the US in patenting.

ABSTRACT: A well-designed and comprehensive citation index for the
social sciences and humanities has many potential uses, but has yet to be
realised. Significant parts of the scholarly production in these areas
are not published in international journals, but in national scholarly
journals, in book chapters or in monographs. In this paper we investigate
the potential for covering these literatures empirically by using a
complete publication output data set from the higher education sector of
an entire country (Norway). We find that the so far uncovered literatures
are concentrated in relatively few publication channels, which should be
promising for a more comprehensive coverage of the social sciences and
humanities.

ABSTRACT: This study combines two relatively independent approaches
to identifying scientific breakthroughs from an analysis of the
scientific literature. The first approach focuses on citation network
data that is gleaned from the bibliography of scientific documents. The
second approach focuses on the text in these documents (especially the
text surrounding a reference, the so-called citation context). We have
linked these two approaches in order to identify potential scientific
breakthroughs within three research communities. The analysis is
facilitated by creating a large scale categorization of words and phrases
called modalities that scientists use to enhance or diminish the
credibility of scientific statements. The rates of occurrence of the
modality categories for research communities, papers and sub-regions of
those communities are examined to provide indicators for changes in
research direction.

ABSTRACT: Citation relationships are commonly described with
citation index or citation graph, but in this article, the author
introduced the notion of citation genetic genealogy and apply it in
citation analysis. A citing document usually only uses pieces of its
cited reference, so the author of this paper defined those pieces of a
scientific document, which carry the information that have been used or
may be used in the future by other documents as its document genes.
Besides, with the definition of symbolic information of a scientific
document, the conclusion that a citing document inherited the document
genes from its references can be drawn. Based on these understandings,
citation genetic genealogy was constructed to describe citation
relationships. With citation genetic genealogy, it is easy to map the
citation relationships, like bibliographic coupling and co-citation, with
familiar family relationships and illustrate the inheritance
relationships in scientific literatures. Also, citation genetic genealogy
may provide an interface between the citation analysis of a document set
and the content analysis for each individual document inside this
document set.

ABSTRACT: This analysis examines the proximity of authors to those
they cite using degrees of separation in a co-author network, expanding
on the notion of self-citations. When rigorously computed using all cited
and citing authors, the proportion of direct self-citations are
relatively constant in time across various specialties in the natural
sciences (10% of citations) and the social sciences (20%). Citations to
nearby authors of the co-author network, however, vary widely among
fields and time periods. Authors in specialties such as astrophysics and
astronomy, for instance, have very few citations outside their network of
collaborators. We discuss, in social and mathematical terms, the degree
to which this closeness is determined by the size and topology of the co-
author network (especially as it is affected by recent increases in co-
authorship) and by the referencing practices of different disciplines.
These results have implications for the long-standing debate over biases
common to most types of citation analysis, and especially for
understanding social structures and citation practices across scientific
disciplines over the past 50 years. In addition, our findings have
important practical implications for the availability of 'arm's length'
expert reviewers of grants applications and manuscripts.

scheme, this paper compares the disciplinary structure of the G7
countries (representing high S&T level countries) and the BRIC countries
(representing fast breaking countries in S&T) by bibliometric methods. It
further analyzes the similarity and the balance of their disciplinary
structure.
We found that: (1) Scientific and technological development is associated
with national disciplinary structure. (2) The disciplinary structure of
the BRIC countries becomes more and more similar to that of the G7
countries. (3) The disciplinary structure of the G7 countries is more
balanced than that of the BRIC countries (4) In the G7 countries more
emphasis goes to the life sciences, while BRIC countries focus on
Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Engineering.

ABSTRACT: While there is a consensus that there is a core-periphery
structure in the global scientific enterprise, there have not been many
methodologies developed for identifying this structure. This paper
develops a methodology by looking at the differences in the power-law
structure of article outputs and degree distributions of countries and
applies the method to five different scientific fields: astronomy &
astrophysics, energy & fuels, nanotechnology & nanosciences, nutrition,
and oceanography. The analysis highlights differences in the structures
of these fields and their impact on citation behaviour.

ABSTRACT: In an earlier exercise some demographic methods were
reformulated for application in a scientometric context. Age-pyramids
based on annual publication output and citation impact was supplemented
by the change of the mean age of the publications in the h-core at any
time. Although the method was introduced to shed some demographic-
scientometric light on the career of individual researchers, the second
component, i.e., the age dynamics of the h-core can however be applied to
higher levels of aggregation as well. However, the found paradigmatic
shapes and patterns do not only characterise individual careers and
positions, but are also typical of life cycles and subject-specific
peculiarities. In the present study, the proposed approach is used to
visualise the careers of scientists active in different fields of the
sciences and social sciences and notably the second component, the h-core
dynamics, is extended to the analysis of scientific journals from the
same fields.
