TITLE: A linear ordering of a multi-parameter universe is
usually nonsense (Article, English)
AUTHOR: Maurer, H

ABSTRACT: We are talking about the most beautiful woman in the
world, about the largest cave in Europe, about the best sportsman of a particular year. We have even started to rank companies according to their "intellectual assets", universities according to their "importance", and scientists according to their "impact". It is time that we protest against this culture of "linearity" in a world that is multi- faceted, where many things cannot be described by one parameter, but only (if at all) by a very long vector of parameters.
In this paper, I investigate this phenomenon to some extent as it applies to (computer) scientists and also indicate a link to the information avalanche we are confronted with. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:
New indicators, including the outgrow index, characterizing an article in its ego citation network are introduced. We take full advantage of the existing duality (cites-is cited by) in a citation network. Although algebraic aspects are emphasized, a first step towards their interpretation is attempted. Examples of their calculation and of future applications are provided.

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, 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 one 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:
Citation relationships are commonly described with citation network 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 document, so the author of this article defined these valuable pieces of a scientific document, which carry the information that have been used by its citing 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 is 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 g!
enetic 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:
We analyze the large-scale structure of the journal citation network built from information contained in the Thomson-Reuters Journal Citation Reports. To this end, we explore network properties such as density, percolation robustness, average and largest node distances, reciprocity, incoming and outgoing degree distributions, and assortative mixing by node degrees. We discover that the journal citation network is a dense, robust, small, and reciprocal world. Furthermore, in- and out-degree node distributions display long tails, with few vital journals and many trivial ones, and they are strongly positively correlated.

Abstract:
The dynamic interaction between a moving truck and a long span reinforced concrete culvert is studied for different truck velocities. The numerical simulation method presented in this paper is based on discretizing the culvert, surrounding soil, and roadway, using a plane strain finite element model (FEM) along with a seven-degrees-of-freedom FEM mass-spring-damper model for the truck. The time-variable coupled dynamic system is solved in a step-by-step manner using Newmark's integration scheme. Results are presented for different parameters, including truck velocity, truck-culvert frequency ratio, damping ratio, road surface roughness, and roadway material. For the culvert under consideration, the results indicate that the road surface roughness has a significant influence on the dynamic impact factor relative to the displacement at the crown of the culvert. This influence is further magnified by variations in truck frequency, culvert damping coefficient, and truck velocity!

Abstract:
Background: To study the trend of clinical and basic research output in the field of nephrology in China during the past 20 years. Methods: The journals listed in the "Urology and Nephrology" category of Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) subject categories were selected. The papers were retrieved by searching the PubMed database. Mainland China (ML), Hong Kong (HK), and Taiwan (TW) were chosen as investigative regions compared with other developed countries. Geographical difference in publications in ML was analyzed. The change between clinical and basic research papers was compared. The accumulated or average impact factor (IF) and the number of papers published in the 10 most impacted journals were calculated to determine the quality of papers. Results: The research output in the field of nephrology in ML developed markedly in the last 7 years (an average annual increase of 54% from 2004); ML exceeded TW and HK since 2008. The research output born in ML was mainly fro!
m five cities, for example, Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou, which accounted for 72% of the total. Since 2001, clinical research papers increased yearly by 11.55, and the basic research papers increased by 4.55. However, clinical trials were still limited. In 2010, ML had the highest accumulated IF and the lowest average IF. ML had the second highest number of publications in the 10 top-ranking nephrology journals among the three regions. Conclusions: China has made a remarkable progress in the field of nephrology. Clinical researches have promoted the development of nephrology. The quality of research papers in China needs further improvement.

Abstract:
Background: Biomedical Informatics (BMI) is a broad discipline, having evolved from both Medical Informatics (MI) and Bioinformatics (BI). An analysis of publications in the field-should provide an indication about the geographic distribution of BMI research contributions and possible lessons for the future, both for research and professional practice.
Objectives: In part I of our analysis of biomedical informatics publications we presented results from BMI conferences. In this second part, we analyse BMI journals, which provide a broader perspective and comparison between data from conferences and journals that ought to confirm or suggest alternatives to the original distributional findings from the conferences.
Methods:We manually collected data about authors and their geographical origin from various MI journals: the International Journal of Medical Informatics (IJMI), the Journal of Biomedical Informatics (JBI), Methods of Information in Medicine (MIM) and The Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA). Focusing on first authors, we also compared these findings with data from the journal Bioinformatics.
Results: Our results confirm those obtained in our analysis of BMI conferences that local and regional authors favor their corresponding MI journals just as they do their conferences. Consideration of other factors, such as the increasingly open source nature of data and software tools, is consistent with these findings
Conclusions: Our analysis suggests various indicators that could lead to further, deeper analyses, and could provide additional insights for future BMI research and professional activities.
