ABSTRACT: This paper identifies the body of literature related to
pricing that exists in 20 marketing or business journals contained in the
Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) between January 1980 and June 2010.
During this 30-year period we found over 38,800 citations were made to
1945 articles that dealt with some aspect of pricing. Based on these
data, we identify individual articles, authors, and institutions that
have contributed most to this body of literature. We study what subjects
within the domain of pricing have received most attention, and how these
topics have evolved in three year periods. In addition, we use text
mining and information visualization tools to identify networks of
researchers who collaborate on pricing articles. We identify
institutional affiliations within the networks and highlight most
frequent subjects of articles written by researchers in each network. Our
results show pricing is an important topic in the marketing domain. (C)

TITLE: The Future of Innovation Studies in Less Economically

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we argue that there are patterns of
innovation occurring in less economically developed countries (LEDCs)
that have been historically overlooked by the innovation studies
literature, including the literature on innovation systems and the triple
helix. This paper briefly surveys cases in agriculture, banking,
biomedicine and information and communications technologies that
demonstrate organizational, scientific and technological innovation in
Africa, South Asia, and Brazil. In particular, we track new developments
in two distinctive patterns within LEDCs: (1) civil society as a site of
innovation and; (2) innovation through appropriation. By systematically
uncovering patterns of innovation in LEDCs, science and technology policy
scholars may make new theoretical gains in innovation studies that can
potentially contribute to innovation policies in the global South.

TITLE: How to measure the internationality of scientific

ABSTRACT: Although the term "internationality" has never been
defined by consensus, it is commonly used as a synonym of quality. Even
though its meaning has never been established, internationality is
frequently used to evaluate scientists, publications, or universities in
many different countries. The present investigation is based on the
opinion about the meaning of the concept "internationality" of the
members of scientific community, represented by a broad sample of 16,056
scientists from 109 countries working in all the fields of knowledge
defined by UNESCO. The sample was randomly selected from the Web of
Science database from the scientists who have published at least one
article in one of the journals indexed by the database. A questionnaire
based on eleven criteria was designed for the purpose of the study. As a
result, the first measure of internationality has been obtained. The most
important criteria of internationality are: the publication language,
online access, and international publication standards. There are
significant differences among geographic zones and fields of knowledge.

TITLE: The Journal of Hydraulic Research 1963-2012: advances
over the past 50 years (Article, English)

KEYWORDS: History; hydraulics; IAHR; Journal of Hydraulic Research;

ABSTRACT: The Journal of Hydraulic Research (JHR) reaches in 2012
the 50th publication year, so that an adequate look back is appropriate.
This paper describes the foundations of both the International
Association of Hydro-environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) and its
flagship journal JHR. The latter was a significant addition to the then
existing hydraulic engineering research journals, and it was well
received particularly among the IAHR members. The development of JHR is
described in terms of the journal presentation, the editors and the 10
top-cited papers. It is noted that papers mainly with a computational
background and with problems in river engineering count in these seminal
works. The paper closes with remarks from the author relating to his
observations made during the past 5 years while serving as the JHR editor.

ABSTRACT: The importance of knowledge as a sustainable competitive
advantage and the increasing development of information technology (IT)
have led to knowledge management systems (KMS), facilitating and
encouraging the processes of generation, codification and transfer of
knowledge in organizations. The interest of professionals, academics and
researchers has been growing for several years, to the point that it can
be stated that knowledge management is a topic on the rise. Nonetheless,
if we review their status in organizations, there are great difficulties
in their implementation, difficulties that cover various aspects. Through
a review of the literature, this paper explores the present gaps in the
implementation of KMS. The results reflect the dominance of a
reductionist approach in this area, with a focus on IT, revealing the
need for a holistic approach, guided by what makes sense in the
organization.

ABSTRACT: The goal of this paper was to provide a diachronic survey
of the language of sources cited in the journal Kineziologija/Kinesiology
from 1971 to 2010. Also, interactions were sought between various
variables regarding various aspects of article publication - publication
year, language of sources cited, number of sources cited, author's
country of origin and gender. The population was comprised of 760
articles published in the journal Kineziologija/Kinesiology throughout
forty years of its publication. Results of the analyses were expressed in
frequencies and by interaction plots of the analysed variables. The
allocation of the total number of sources cited showed that the largest
number of papers cited between 10 and 19 sources. The highest average
number of sources cited per paper was in English, followed by the average
number of sources in Croatian. The number of all sources cited per
article significantly increased in the last decade of the journal's
publication as did the number of sources in the English language. Most
papers were authored by researchers from the Slavic language-speaking
countries. The number of non-English sources used by the authors from
Slavic language-speaking countries was larger than the number of non-
English sources used by the authors from countries in which languages
other than English, German, Romance and Slavic languages are spoken. Most
of the 760 papers were written by men, followed by the number of papers
written in co-authorship of men and women. The number of papers written
exclusively by women was the lowest. This type of analysis could be
regarded not only as a mirror of the journal's development, but also as a
mirror of the development of a society.

ABSTRACT: The present study explores the characteristics of the
literature on the attitudes toward their disabled people published during
the last three decades, based on the databases of Science Citation Index-
Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and its
implications using the scientometric techniques. The results of this
study reveal that the literature in this field has grown steadily during
this period reaching to 655 papers in total with paralleling enormous
changes in the research landscape. Papers were mostly journal articles,
reviews, and proceedings, and being predominantly in English. The US was
the most publishing country producing 54% of the output. The "Bar Ilan
University" of Israel was the most contributing institution and the most
publishing author was "Livneh H". "Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin"
was the most publishing journal whilst "Rehabilitation" was the most
published subject area. The total number of citations was 5,262 resulting
in 8.03 average citations per paper and "H-index" of 29. "Donaldson J"
[1] had the highest impact on the literature. The results of this first
ever such study of its kind showed that the scientometric analysis has a
great potential to gain valuable insights into the evolution of the
research on the attitudes toward disabled people.
