ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify nursing theses and
dissertations which utilized the Social Representation Theory available
in the Center for Nursing Studies and Research database from 2001 to
2007. It is an exploratory, Bibliometrics analysis study of the papers
registered in the database. Of the 3246 studies found, 167 (5%) used the
Theory; 38 (22.7%) were dissertations and 129 (77.3%) were theses. The
Southeast and the Northeast regions recorded the highest production, with
61.2% and 26.8%, respectively. In theoretical approach, 80 (62%) theses
and 27 (71%) dissertations used this theoretical framework. Its use as a
theoretical and methodological reference occurred in 16 (10%) studies. In
these studies data was collected through interviews, used in 44.4% of the
cases, and content analysis, the choice of 54.6% of the students. We
highlight a growing interest in the Social Representation Theory and the
need for greater criteria in preparing abstracts, given their importance
in developing scientific research.

ABSTRACT: The highly popular journal impact factor (JIF) is an
average measure of citations within 1 year after the publication of a
journal as a whole within the two preceding years. It is widely used as a
proxy of a journal's quality and scientific prestige. This article
discusses misuses of JIF to assess impact of separate journal articles
and the effect of several manuscript versions on JIF. It also presents
some newer alternative journal metrics such as SCImago Journal Rank and
the h-index and analyses examples of their application in several subject
categories.

ABSTRACT: How does publication pressure in modern-day universities
affect the intrinsic and extrinsic rewards in science? By using a
worldwide survey among demographers in developed and developing
countries, the authors show that the large majority perceive the
publication pressure as high, but more so in Anglo-Saxon countries and to
a lesser extent in Western Europe. However, scholars see both the pros
(upward mobility) and cons (excessive publication and uncitedness,
neglect of policy issues, etc.) of the so-called publish-or-perish
culture. By measuring behavior in terms of reading and publishing, and
perceived extrinsic rewards and stated intrinsic rewards of practicing
science, it turns out that publication pressure negatively affects the
orientation of demographers towards policy and knowledge sharing. There
are no signs that the pressure affects reading and publishing outside the
core discipline.

ABSTRACT: The capability to build nuclear weapons is a key national
security factor that has a profound influence on the balance of
international relations. In addition to longstanding players, regional
powers and peripheral countries have sought for ways of acquiring and/or
developing them. The authors postulate that to express the capabilities,
relative positions, and interrelations of the countries involved in the
production of nuclear weaponization knowledge, dynamic network analysis
provides valuable insight. In this article, the authors use a
computational framework that combines techniques from dynamic network
analysis and text mining to mine and analyze large-scale networks that
are extracted from open theoretical and experimental nuclear research
publications of the last two decades. More specifically, they build
interlinked, dynamic networks that model relationships of nuclear
researchers based on the open literature and supplement this information
with text mining to classify the nuclear weaponization capabilities of
each publication-of each author, organization, city, and country. Using
such a comprehensive computational framework, they are able to (a) elicit
the hot topics in nuclear weaponization research, (b) assess the nuclear
expertise level of each country, (c) differentiate between established
and emergent players, and (d) identify the key entities at various levels
such as organization, city, and country.

ABSTRACT: This study explores the similarity among six types of
scholarly networks aggregated at the institution level, including
bibliographic coupling networks, citation networks, cocitation networks,
topical networks, coauthorship networks, and coword networks. Cosine
distance is chosen to measure the similarities among the six networks.
The authors found that topical networks and coauthorship networks have
the lowest similarity; cocitation networks and citation networks have
high similarity; bibliographic coupling networks and cocitation networks
have high similarity; and coword networks and topical networks have high
similarity. In addition, through multidimensional scaling, two dimensions
can be identified among the six networks: Dimension 1 can be interpreted
as citation-based versus noncitation-based, and Dimension 2 can be
interpreted as social versus cognitive. The authors recommend the use of
hybrid or heterogeneous networks to study research interaction and
scholarly communications.

TITLE: Changes in Publication Languages and Citation Practices

ABSTRACT: This article analyzes the effects of publication language
on the international scientific visibility of Russia using the Web of
Science (WoS). Like other developing and transition countries, it is
subject to a growing pressure to "internationalize" its scientific
activities, which primarily means a shift to English as a language of
scientific communication. But to what extent does the transition to
English improve the impact of research? The case of Russia is of interest
in this respect as the existence of many combinations of national
journals and languages of publications (namely, Russian and English,
including translated journals) provide a kind of natural I experiment to
test the effects of language and publisher's country on the international
visibility of research through citations as well as on the referencing
practices of authors. Our analysis points to the conclusion that the
production of original English-language papers in foreign journals is a
more efficient strategy of internationalization than the mere translation
of domestic journals. If the objective of a country is to maximize the
international visibility of its scientific work, then the efforts should
go into the promotion of publication in reputed English-language journals
to profit from the added effect provided by the Matthew effect of these
venues.

ABSTRACT: A technique is developed using patent information
available online (at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) for the
generation of Google Maps. The overlays indicate both the quantity and
the quality of patents at the city level. This information is relevant
for research questions in technology analysis, innovation studies, and
evolutionary economics, as well as economic geography. The resulting maps
can also be relevant for technological innovation policies and research
and development management, because the U.S. market can be considered the
leading market for patenting and patent competition. In addition to the
maps, the routines provide quantitative data about the patents for
statistical analysis. The cities on the map are colored according to the
results of significance tests. The overlays are explored for the
Netherlands as a "national system of innovations" and further elaborated
in two cases of emerging technologies: ribonucleic acid interference
(RNAi) and nanotechnology.

ABSTRACT: The application of micro-level citation indicators is not
without controversy. The procedure requires the availability of both
adequate data sets and trusted metrics. Few indicators have been
developed to deal specifically with individual assessment. The h-type
indices are the most popular category; however, the dependence of h-type
metrics on publication age and field makes their application often
unjustified. This article studies the effects that publication age and
field normalization have on h-type citation values of German Leibniz
Prize winners. This data set is exclusive in that it is highly
scrutinized for homonyms. Results are compared with other field-
normalized citation rates, contributing to the debate on using
demarcation versus average citation approaches to evaluate top
researchers.

Abstract:
Using an online survey, we asked safety researchers around the globe how they perceived the quality of a list of 35 representative safety journals. We found that the most well-respected journal by expert opinion was the Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries. However, taking both the respondents' results and the citation-based results into consideration, the Journal of Hazardous Materials is the most influential journal, followed by Reliability Engineering and System Safety, Risk Analysis, Accident Analysis and Prevention and Safety Science.

Abstract:
The achievement of a robust, effective and responsible form of data sharing is currently regarded as a priority for biological and bio-medical research. Empirical evaluations of data sharing may be regarded as an indispensable first step in the identification of critical aspects and the development of strategies aimed at increasing availability of research data for the scientific community as a whole. Research concerning human genetic variation represents a potential forerunner in the establishment of widespread sharing of primary datasets. However, no specific analysis has been conducted to date in order to ascertain whether the sharing of primary datasets is common-practice in this research field. To this aim, we analyzed a total of 543 mitochondrial and Y chromosomal datasets reported in 508 papers indexed in the Pubmed database from 2008 to 2011. A substantial portion of datasets (21.9%) was found to have been withheld, while neither strong editorial policies nor high im!
pact factor proved to be effective in increasing the sharing rate beyond the current figure of 80.5%. Disaggregating datasets for research fields, we could observe a substantially lower sharing in medical than evolutionary and forensic genetics, more evident for whole mtDNA sequences (15.0% vs 99.6%). The low rate of positive responses to e-mail requests sent to corresponding authors of withheld datasets (28.6%) suggests that sharing should be regarded as a prerequisite for final paper acceptance, while making authors deposit their results in open online databases which provide data quality control seems to provide the best-practice standard. Finally, we estimated that 29.8% to 32.9% of total resources are used to generate withheld datasets, implying that an important portion of research funding does not produce shared knowledge. By making the scientific community and the public aware of this important aspect, we may help popularize a more effective culture of data sharing.

Abstract:
This paper examines the relationship between metrics, markets and affect in the contemporary UK academy. It argues that the emergence of a particular structure of feeling amongst academics in the last few years has been closely associated with the growth and development of quantified control. It examines the functioning of a range of metrics: citations; workload models; transparent costing data; research assessments; teaching quality assessments; and commercial university league tables. It argues that these metrics, and others, although still embedded within an audit culture, increasingly function autonomously as a data assemblage able not just to mimic markets but, increasingly, to enact them. It concludes by posing some questions about the possible implications of this for the future of academic practice.
