I have to give you a reluctant 'no' at the moment, because I have no idea how I can dedicate myself more to SIG/MET. Besides information science, my work heavily relies on science & technology studies and social science. I will concentrate on my dissertation next year. Ofc, I will be back if I continue my journey of information science in the future. All the best wishes* *and I will stay in touch with [SIGMETRICS].

The main goals are to find a set of papers playing the central role in DEA development and to discover the latest active DEA subareas. A directional network is constructed based on citation relationships among academic papers. After assigning an importance index to each link in the citation network, main DEA development paths emerge. We examine various types of main paths, including local main path, global main path, and multiple main paths. The analysis result suggests, as expected, that Charnes et al. (1978) [Charnes A, Cooper WW, Rhodes E. Measuring the efficiency of decision making units. European Journal of Operational Research 1978; 2(6): 429-444] is the most influential DEA paper. The five most active DEA subareas in recent years are identified; among them the "two-stage contextual factor evaluation framework" is relatively more active. Aside from the main path ana! lysis, we summarize basic statistics on DEA journals and researchers. A growth curve analysis hints that the DEA literature's size will eventually grow to at least double the size of the existing literature. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The records and citations to them were retrieved from the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters) in March 2010. The authors compared productivity and citedness of "group leaders" vs. "regular scientists", of "male scientists" vs. "female scientists" using citation-based indexes. It was found that "group leaders" are more prolific and cited more often than "regular scientists", the same is true considering "male" vs. "female scientists". The greatest contrast is observed between "female leaders" and "female regular scientists". The above mentioned differences are significant in indexes related to the number of papers, while values of indexes characterizing the quality of papers (average citation rate per paper and similar indexes) are not substantially different among the groups compared. The mean value of percentile rank i! ndex for all the 313 papers is 58.5, which is significantly higher than the global mean value of about 50. This fact is evidence of a higher citation status, on average, of the publications from the DRFZ. Reprint Address: Univ Appl Sci, Fac Business Adm Business Comp, Bahnhofstr, D-15745 Wildau, Germany.

Thirty nine of these articles were produced by 78 authors who authored three or more of them, and more than half were published by only five journals. The mean number of cites per year and the total number of citations necessary for an article to achieve various percentile rankings are reported for each journal. The mean number of citations necessary for an article published within each half-decade to rank at any given percentile has steadily increased from 1950 to 2004. Of the articles that we surveyed, 11 % had zero total citations, and 35 % received fewer than four total citations. Citations for post-1994 articles ranking in the 50th-75th and 90th-95th percentiles have generally contin! ued to grow across each of their 3-year postpublication bins. For pre-1995 articles ranking in the 50th-75th and 90th-95th percentiles, citations peaked in the 4- to 6- or 7- to 9-year postpublication bins and decreased linearly thereafter, until asymptoting. In contrast, for the top-500 articles, (a) for pre-1980 articles, citations grew and peaked 10-18-year postpublication bins, and after a slight decrease began to linearly increase again; (b) for post-1979 articles, citations have continually increased across years in a nearly linear fashion. We also report changes in topics covered by the top-cited articles over the decades. Reprint Address: SUNY Albany, Dept Psychol, SS 369,1400 Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12222 USA.

Efforts to replace or supplement traditional evaluation models with open evaluation platforms that leverage advances in information technology are slowly gaining traction, but remain in the early stages of design and implementation. Here I discuss a number of considerations relevant to the development of such platforms. I focus particular attention on three core elements that next-generation evaluation platforms should strive to emphasize, including (1) open and transparent access to accumulated evaluation data, (2) personalized and highly customizable performance metrics, and (3) appropriate short-term incentivization of the userbase. Because all of these elements have already been successfully implemented on a large scale in hundreds of existing social web applications, I argue that development of new scientific evaluation platforms should proceed largely by adaptin! g existing techniques rather than engineering entirely new evaluation mechanisms. Successful implementation of open evaluation platforms has the potential to substantially advance both the pace and the quality of scientific publication and evaluation, and the scientific community has a vested interest in shifting toward such models as soon as possible.

Researchers are evaluated and compared by a variegated set of indicators concerning (1) the output of individual researchers and (2) that of groups of researchers from the same country. While not claiming to be exhaustive, the results of this preliminary study provide a rough indication of the publishing and patenting activity of researchers in the field of interest, identifying (dis)similarities between different countries. Of particular interest is a proposal for aggregating analysis results by means of maps based on publication and patent indicators. A large amount of empirical data are presented and discussed.

An interesting solution of the problem of the arbitrariness of thresholds emerges from the application of Hirsch-type indices to dense networks as are typically observed in local clustering. Examples from several disciplines in the sciences and social sciences illustrate how these core vertices can be determined using this approach, and visualise how core documents are applied to represent the internal structure of the complete network or of parts of it.

Conducting such assessments is complex and new methods are being sought. Our new approach involves several steps. First, we developed a qualitative citation analysis technique to apply to biomedical research in order to assess the contribution that individual papers made to further research. Second, using this method, we then proposed to trace the citations to the original research through a series of generations of citing papers. Third, we aimed eventually to assess the wider impacts of the various generations. This article describes our comprehensive literature search to inform the new technique. We searched various databases, specific bibliometrics journals and the bibliographies of key papers. After excluding irrelevant papers we revie! wed those remaining for either general or specific details that could inform development of our new technique. Various characteristics of citations were identified that had been found to predict their importance to the citing paper including the citation's location; number of citation occasions and whether the author(s) of the cited paper were named within the citing paper. We combined these objective characteristics with subjective approaches also identified from the literature search to develop a citation categorisation technique that would allow us to achieve the first of the steps above, i.e., being able routinely to assess the contribution that individual papers make to further research.

Initially, classical methodology using exponential distribution is applied to IAT of earthquake events computed from earthquake catalog data. From the goodness-of-fit test results, it has been found that exponential distribution is not adequate. In this paper, a more efficient ANN-based methodology is proposed, and two ANN models are developed to determine the probability of IAT of earthquake events for a specified region, specified magnitude range or magnitude greater than the specified value. The performance of ANN models developed is validated with number of examples and found to predict the probability with minimal error compared to exponential distribution model. The methodology developed can be applied to any other region with the database of the respective regions. Reprint Address: CSIR Struct Engn Res Ctr, CSIR Campus, Chennai 600113, Tamil Nadu, India.

The records and citations to them were retrieved from the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters) in March 2010. The authors compared productivity and citedness of "group leaders" vs. "regular scientists", of "male scientists" vs. "female scientists" using citation-based indexes. It was found that "group leaders" are more prolific and cited more often than "regular scientists", the same is true considering "male" vs. "female scientists". The greatest contrast is observed between "female leaders" and "female regular scientists". The above mentioned differences are significant in indexes related to the number of papers, while values of indexes characterizing the quality of papers (average citation rate per paper and similar indexes) are not substantially different among the groups compared. The mean value of percentile rank i! ndex for all the 313 papers is 58.5, which is significantly higher than the global mean value of about 50. This fact is evidence of a higher citation status, on average, of the publications from the DRFZ. Reprint Address: Univ Appl Sci, Fac Business Adm Business Comp, Bahnhofstr, D-15745 Wildau, Germany.

However, discordances have been noticed in summary conclusions in the abstracts and the main body of some articles. This article evaluated such discordances in detail. Methods RCTs of systemic therapy for lung cancer published between 2004 and 2009 were considered. Conclusions in the body of the articles and those in the abstracts were graded by using a 7-point Likert scale; 1 for strong endorsement of the control arm, 4 for a neutral statement, and 7 for strong endorsement of the experimental arm. Conclusions were classified as discordant if the difference in scores was >= 2. chi(2) tests and logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with discordance. Results >From among 114 eligible RCTs identified (90 for non-small-cell and 24 for small-cell lung cancer), 11 (10%) articles presented discordant conclusions in the abstract and in the body of the articles. Discordance was most common when the experimental arm was strongly supported in the abstract but not in the body of the article (nine of 11; 82%); however, the converse was much less common (two of 11; 18%; P < .001). Intraclass correlations for the two reviewers were >= 0.9. The discordances were found to be independent of trial-related factors. Conclusion Conclusive statements in the abstract can differ from those in the full text. Clinicians should use caution when they consider making changes in their practice on the basis of reading only the abstract of a published RCT. J Clin Oncol 30:3552-3557.

SEP 2012. p.1071-1077 LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, PHILADELPHIA SEARCH TERM(S): GARFIELD E SCIENCE 122:108 1955 KEYWORDS: celiac disease; Crohn's disease; Helicobacter pylori; inflammatory bowel disease KEYWORDS+: INCREASING PREVALENCE; CROHNS-DISEASE; UNITED-STATES; GASTROENTEROLOGY; MULTICENTER; PROGRESS ABSTRACT: Background Despite the increasing prevalence of celiac disease (CD), the rate of diagnosis remains low. This may be related to the lack of research and publications on CD compared with other gastrointestinal conditions. We hypothesized that CD publications are underrepresented as compared with other gastrointestinal illnesses, and are particularly underrepresented in the USA. Goal To explore the rate of CD publication output, comparing it with other gastrointestinal conditions, and to assess for changes over time. Study We used an iterative search process to identify all articles in PubMed from 1980 to 2009, and compared the number of publications featuring CD to Crohn's disease and Helicobacter pylori. We analyzed CD publication output with respect to its degree of diffusion among journals and authors, and assessed for an association between economic parameters and output. Results The number of publications has increased steadily since 1980, with acceleration in the rate of increase beginning in 1995; this trend was also observed in the number of publications in Crohn's disease, whereas the number of publications for H. pylori has begun to decline. The 10 journals with the largest number of Crohn's disease publications were responsible for 29% of all Crohn's disease research output in 1995- 1999 and 30% in 2005-2009. In contrast, the top 10 CD journals were responsible for 34% of CD output in 1995-1999, but only 25% in 2005-2009 (P<0.0001). Publication output per nation was moderately associated with gross domestic product (r=0.59, P<0.0001). Conclusion The number of publications in CD is increasing, out of proportion to the overall growth of the peer-reviewed medical literature. CD publications are spread throughout a larger number of journals, but are more dominated by high-volume authors. Economic factors are associated with national contributions to the world literature in CD.

JUL-SEP 2012. p.43-57 SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, LONDON SEARCH TERM(S): SCI WAT* rwork KEYWORDS: cultural topology; engaged research; networks; social spatialization; space; time ABSTRACT: In an example of Enlightenment 'engaged research' and public intellectual practice, Euler established the basis of topology and graph theory through his solution to the puzzle of whether a stroll around the seven bridges of 18th-century Konigsberg (Kaliningrad) was possible without having to cross any given bridge twice. This 'Manifesto' argues that, born in a form of cultural studies, topology offers 21st- century researchers a model for mapping the dynamics of time as well as space, allowing the rigorous description of events, situations, changing cultural formations and social spatializations. Law and Mol's network spaces, Serre's folded time, Massey's 'power geometries', Lefebvre's 'production of space' and 'rhythmanalysis' can be developed through a cultural topological sensitivity that allows time to be understood as not only progressive but cyclical, relationships and the 'reach' of power can be understood through 'knots', and a topology of experience to model the 'plushness of the Real' via extra- and over-dimensioned time-spaces that capture nuance while drawing on systematic conceptual resources.

Significant contributions have been made by thousands of authors. A citation rank list has historically been used within a particular field to measure the importance of an article. The purpose of this article is to report on the 100 most cited articles in the field of spine. Science Citation Index Expanded was searched for citations in 27 different journals (as of 30 November 2010) chosen based on the relevance for all cited spine publications. The top 100 most cited articles were identified. Important information such as journal, date, country of origin, author, subspecialty, and level of evidence (for clinical research) were compiled. The top 100 publications ranged from 1,695 to 240 citations. Fifty-three articles were of the lumbar, 17 were of the thoracolumbar, and 15 of the cervical spine. Eighty-one of the articles were clinical and 19 were basic science in nature. Level of evidence varied for the clinical papers, however, was most commonly level IV (34 of 81 articles). Notably, the 1990-1999 decade was the most productive period with 43 of the top 100 articles published during this time. Identification of the most cited articles within the field of spine recognizes some of the most important contributions in the peer-reviewed literature. Current investigators may utilize the aspects of their work to guide and direct future spine-related research.

SEP 25 2012. p.NIL_1-NIL_6 E M H SWISS MEDICAL PUBLISHERS LTD, MUTTENZ SEARCH TERM(S): GARFIELD E JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC 295:90 2006; GARFIELD E ANAESTHESIST 47:439 1998; KEYWORDS: journals; publications; impact factor; language KEYWORDS+: CITATION ANALYSIS; QUALITY; SCIENCE; PERFORMANCE; INFLATION; TIME ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The impact factor (IF) is a common citation metric used for evaluating and comparing scientific journals within a certain field. Previous studies have shown that IFs are increasing. However, rates may depend on journal publication language. The aim of this study was to determine IF values and trends for general medical journals, comparing non-English-language with English-language journals. METHODS: For all journals categorised as "medicine, general and internal" (n = 150) in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), publication language, country of origin and IFs for the last 10 years were recorded (2001- 2010). Data were classified, analysed descriptively and compared using non-parametric tests. RESULTS: From 2001 to 2010, IFs increased for English-language and non- English-language journals (p <0.001). During the 10-year study period, IFs were higher for English-language than for non-English-language journals (p <0.001). The proportion of non-English-language journals included in the JCR was 12.2% in 2001 and 18.0% in 2010 (p =0.28). INTERPRETATION: From 2001 to 2010, IFs increased significantly for English-language and non-English-language journals. When comparing IF values year-by-year (2001-2010), IFs were significantly higher for English-language than for non-English-language journals. In an international scientific community with English as the universal language of science, non-English-language journals should consider changing publication language, and adopt either a bi- or a monolingual approach. Publishing in English will increase citation counts and thus IFs, but, more importantly, scientific findings will be accessible to a much wider audience.

Then the paper makes a conclusion: there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between these six factors and resource price index. Meanwhile China's money supply(M-2), total final consumption expenditure and average wage show a dynamic positive influence on the resource inflation rate, there is also a negative interaction effect with long-term stability and none contradiction between investment in fixed assets and resources price index, import and export volume have a relatively weak influence on the resource price index then. The above conclusions can be a stabilizing and scientific effect on policy decisions for inhibition of resource prices. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Research on the Status of Mainland China Web Survey Based on Bibliometric Method (Article, English) AUTHOR: Zhu, WL; Shao, PJ; Fang, JM; Li, LQ SOURCE: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2012 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MANAGEMENT INNOVATION AND PUBLIC POLICY (ICMIPP 2012), VOLS 1-6. 2012. p.1467-1470 SCI RES PUBL, INC-SRP, IRVIN KEYWORDS: web survey; internet survey; online survey; bibliometrics KEYWORDS+: NONRESPONSE; DESIGN ABSTRACT: In recent years, with the widespread use of e-commerce and survey research, web surveys have developed rapidly. Based on the realistic background of rapid development of Chinese e-commerce, this paper gave a bibliometric analysis of domestic relevant articles on web surveys from January, 2005 to October, 2010 on annual distribution of articles, frequency condition, research subjects and methods, and revealed the new trends and changes in this area. It summarized Mainland China research condition on web surveys in nearly 6 years by comparing domestic research with foreign research. The result shows that only few researchers devote to web surveys; annual articles are fewer and they are vulnerable to the impact of domestic and international environment; the quality of articles is poor, and download frequency and citation frequency are low; studies are relatively simple, and interdisciplinary researches are less; quantitative and empirical studies are little, and research methods are not scientific and standardized. Finally, according to the conclusion this paper proposed practical suggestions to provide reference to the future domestic researches of web surveys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From eugene.garfield at THOMSONREUTERS.COM Mon Nov 5 19:04:14 2012 From: eugene.garfield at THOMSONREUTERS.COM (Eugene Garfield) Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2012 00:04:14 +0000 Subject: Papers of possible interest to Sig Metrics Readers Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: NEW FEATURE GIVES ACCESS TO CITATION ABSTRACTS (News Item, English) SOURCE: CHEMICAL & ENGINEERING NEWS 90 (41).

SEP 12 2012. p.NIL_105-NIL_117 PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, SAN FRANCISCO SEARCH TERM(S): HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005 KEYWORDS+: INDEX ABSTRACT: The use of quantitative metrics to gauge the impact of scholarly publications, authors, and disciplines is predicated on the availability of reliable usage and annotation data. Citation and download counts are widely available from digital libraries. However, current annotation systems rely on proprietary labels, refer to journals but not articles or authors, and are manually curated. To address these limitations, we propose a social framework based on crowdsourced annotations of scholars, designed to keep up with the rapidly evolving disciplinary and interdisciplinary landscape. We describe a system called Scholarometer, which provides a service to scholars by computing citation- based impact measures. This creates an incentive for users to provide disciplinary annotations of authors, which in turn can be used to compute disciplinary metrics. We first present the system architecture and several heuristics to deal with noisy bibliographic and annotation data. We report on data sharing and interactive visualization services enabled by Scholarometer. Usage statistics, illustrating the data collected and shared through the framework, suggest that the proposed crowdsourcing approach can be successful. Secondly, we illustrate how the disciplinary bibliometric indicators elicited by Scholarometer allow us to implement for the first time a universal impact measure proposed in the literature. Our evaluation suggests that this metric provides an effective means for comparing scholarly impact across disciplinary boundaries.

Thirty nine of these articles were produced by 78 authors who authored three or more of them, and more than half were published by only five journals. The mean number of cites per year and the total number of citations necessary for an article to achieve various percentile rankings are reported for each journal. The mean number of citations necessary for an article published within each half-decade to rank at any given percentile has steadily increased from 1950 to 2004. Of the articles that we surveyed, 11 % had zero total citations, and 35 % received fewer than four total citations. Citations for post-1994 articles ranking in the 50th-75th and 90th-95th percentiles have generally contin! ued to grow across each of their 3-year postpublication bins. For pre-1995 articles ranking in the 50th-75th and 90th-95th percentiles, citations peaked in the 4- to 6- or 7- to 9-year postpublication bins and decreased linearly thereafter, until asymptoting. In contrast, for the top-500 articles, (a) for pre-1980 articles, citations grew and peaked 10-18-year postpublication bins, and after a slight decrease began to linearly increase again; (b) for post-1979 articles, citations have continually increased across years in a nearly linear fashion. We also report changes in topics covered by the top-cited articles over the decades. Reprint Address: SUNY Albany, Dept Psychol, SS 369,1400 Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12222 USA.

However, due to lack of effective technical solutions, bibliometric data suppliers have refused to promote alternatives to the renowned and worn *impact factor*, with all its derivatives. The present research unveils enhanced bibliometrical tools, meeting comunity's needs and proposing an automatic solution to evaluate the scientific relevance of a research article, in a particular research field, in relation with all the citing works. This process resorts to semantic processing and conceptual similarity analysis, proved to be superior to solutions already abandoned, based on lexical analysis.

The articles under scrutiny were obtained from the Science Citation Index database, accessed via the Web of Knowledge platform. The search strategy employed specific viticulture and oenology terms and was restricted to the field 'topic'. The results showed that 406 articles were published during the review period, with the most number of publications being in the South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture (n = 34), American Journal of Enology and Viticulture (n = 16) and Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (a = 16). The articles were published by 851 authors from 236 institutions. The collaboration rate was 3.7 authors per article, having grown over the two decades examined. The most productive institutions (i.e. those receiving a ! greater number of citations) were Stellenbosch University (219 published articles and 2592 citations) and the Agricultural Research Council (49 published articles and 454 citations), both from South Africa. Graphical representation of co-authorship networks identified 18 groups of authors and a single network of institutions whose core is Stellenbosch University. In conclusion, we have identified a significant growth in South African viticulture and oenology research in recent years, with a high degree of internationalisation and a constant level of domestic collaboration.

F1000 is a post-publication peer review system of the biomedical literature. The comparison of metrics with peer evaluation has been widely acknowledged as a way of validating metrics. Based on the seven indicators offered by InCites, we analyzed the validity of raw citation counts (Times Cited, 2nd Generation Citations, and 2nd Generation Citations per Citing Document), normalized indicators (Journal Actual/Expected Citations, Category Actual/Expected Citations, and Percentile in Subject Area), and a journal based indicator (Journal Impact Factor). The data set consists of 125 papers published in 2008 and belonging to the subject category cell biology or immunology. As the results show, Percentile in Subject Area achieves the highest correlation with F1000 ratings; we can assert that for further three other indicators (Times Cited, 2nd Generation Citations, and Category Actual/Expected Citations) the 'true' correlation with the ratings reaches at least a medium effect size Lutz Bornmann & Loet Leydesdorff (Submitted on 6 Nov 2012) _____ The use of percentiles and percentile rank classes in the analysis of bibliometric data: Opportunities and limits , Journal of Informetrics (in press). Percentiles have been established in bibliometrics as an important alternative to mean-based indicators for obtaining a normalized citation impact of publications. Percentiles have a number of advantages over standard bibliometric indicators used frequently: for example, their calculation is not based on the arithmetic mean which should not be used for skewed bibliometric data. This study describes the opportunities and limits and the advantages and disadvantages of using percentiles in bibliometrics. We also address problems in the calculation of percentiles and percentile rank classes for which there is not (yet) a satisfactory solution. It will be hard to compare the results of different percentile-based studies with each other unless it is clear that the studies were done with the same choices for percentile calculation and rank assignment.

The publication rate (PR) following congress presentation is an indicator of the extent and quality of a scientific society's activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate publication rates in the Spine Society of Europe (SSE), compare them with the results for American spine societies, and determine factors affecting publication. All 839 abstracts of podium and poster presentations at SSE congresses held in 2000-2003 were investigated. PRs in peer-reviewed journals within a period of 5 years were assessed. Subgroup analyses were performed for different study types. The consistency of abstracts with publications was also analyzed. The overall PR was 37.8%, with a mean of 17.7 +/- A 15.7 months between congress and publication and a mean *impact factor* of 1.8 +/- A 1.0 at the time of publication. Comparatively high PRs were found for podium presentations versus posters, studies with higher versus lower levels of evidence, experimental versus clinical studies, prospective versus retrospective studies, randomized versus nonrandomized studies, studies reporting significant main results versus those without, and multicenter studies versus single-center studies. Biomechanical studies also achieved high PRs. The PR was similar to that of NASS (40%) and only slightly inferior to that of SRS (47%) and ISSLS (45%). This shows the high quality of presentations at SSE congresses. The fate of unpublished abstracts is worth further consideration. It is questionable whether it is acceptable to cite abstracts that have not passed a journal's peer-review process and to implement their results in clinical practice.

Significant contributions have been made by thousands of authors. A citation rank list has historically been used within a particular field to measure the importance of an article. The purpose of this article is to report on the 100 most cited articles in the field of spine. Science Citation Index Expanded was searched for citations in 27 different journals (as of 30 November 2010) chosen based on the relevance for all cited spine publications. The top 100 most cited articles were identified. Important information such as journal, date, country of origin, author, subspecialty, and level of evidence (for clinical research) were compiled. The top 100 publications ranged from 1,695 to 240 citations. Fifty-three articles were of the lumbar, 17 were of the thoracolumbar, and 15 of the cervical spine. Eighty-one of the articles were clinical and 19 were basic science in nature. Level of evidence varied for the clinical papers, however, was most commonly level IV (34 of 81 articles). Notably, the 1990-1999 decade was the most productive period with 43 of the top 100 articles published during this time. Identification of the most cited articles within the field of spine recognizes some of the most important contributions in the peer-reviewed literature. Current investigators may utilize the aspects of their work to guide and direct future spine-related research. Reprint Address: Northwestern Univ, 676 N St Clair,Suite 1350, Chicago, IL 60611 USA.

Previous studies have shown that IFs are increasing. However, rates may depend on journal publication language. The aim of this study was to determine IF values and trends for general medical journals, comparing non-English-language with English-language journals. METHODS: For all journals categorised as "medicine, general and internal" (n = 150) in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), publication language, country of origin and IFs for the last 10 years were recorded (2001-2010). Data were classified, analysed descriptively and compared using non-parametric tests. RESULTS: From 2001 to 2010, IFs increased for English-language and non-English-language journals (p <0.001). During the 10-year study period, IFs were higher for English-language than for non-English-language journals (p <0.001). The proportion of non-English-language journals included in the JCR was 12.2% in 2001 and 18.0% in 2010 (p =0.28). INTERPRETATION: From 2001 to 2010, IFs increased significantly for English-language and non-English-language journals. When comparing IF values year-by-year (2001-2010), IFs were significantly higher for English-language than for non-English-language journals. In an international scientific community with English as the universal language of science, non-English-language journals should consider changing publication language, and adopt either a bi- or a monolingual approach. Publishing in English will increase citation counts and thus IFs, but, more importantly, scientific findings will be accessible to a much wider audience.

Objective: To determine whether newspapers preferentially report on initial findings and whether they also report on subsequent studies. Methods: We focused on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Using Factiva and PubMed databases, we identified 47 scientific publications on ADHD published in the 1990s and soon echoed by 347 newspapers articles. We selected the ten most echoed publications and collected all their relevant subsequent studies until 2011. We checked whether findings reported in each "top 10" publication were consistent with previous and subsequent observations. We also compared the newspaper coverage of the "top 10" publications to that of their related scientific studies. Results: Seven of the "top 10" publications were initial studies and the conclusions in six of them were either refuted or strongly attenuated subsequently. The seventh was not confirmed or refuted, but its main conclusion appears unlikely. Among the three "top 10" that were not initial studies, two were confirmed subsequently and the third was attenuated. The newspaper coverage of the "top 10" publications (223 articles) was much larger than that of the 67 related studies (57 articles). Moreover, only one of the latter newspaper articles reported that the corresponding "top 10" finding had been attenuated. The average *impact factor* of the scientific journals publishing studies echoed by newspapers (17.1 n = 56) was higher (p < 0.0001) than that corresponding to related publications that were not echoed (6.4 n = 56). Conclusion: Because newspapers preferentially echo initial ADHD findings appearing in prominent journals, they report on uncertain findings that are often refuted or attenuated by subsequent studies. If this media reporting bias generalizes to health sciences, it represents a major cause of distortion in health science communication.

R.; Lebwohl, Benjamin Source: EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY, 24 (9):1071-1077; 10.1097/MEG.0b013e328355a4ab SEP 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: celiac disease, Crohn's disease, Helicobacter pylori, inflammatory bowel disease KeyWords Plus: INCREASING PREVALENCE; CROHNS-DISEASE; UNITED-STATES; GASTROENTEROLOGY; MULTICENTER; PROGRESS Abstract: Background Despite the increasing prevalence of celiac disease (CD), the rate of diagnosis remains low. This may be related to the lack of research and publications on CD compared with other gastrointestinal conditions. We hypothesized that CD publications are underrepresented as compared with other gastrointestinal illnesses, and are particularly underrepresented in the USA. Goal To explore the rate of CD publication output, comparing it with other gastrointestinal conditions, and to assess for changes over time. Study We used an iterative search process to identify all articles in PubMed from 1980 to 2009, and compared the number of publications featuring CD to Crohn's disease and Helicobacter pylori. We analyzed CD publication output with respect to its degree of diffusion among journals and authors, and assessed for an association between economic parameters and output. Results The number of publications has increased steadily since 1980, with acceleration in the rate of increase beginning in 1995; this trend was also observed in the number of publications in Crohn's disease, whereas the number of publications for H. pylori has begun to decline. The 10 journals with the largest number of Crohn's disease publications were responsible for 29% of all Crohn's disease research output in 1995-1999 and 30% in 2005-2009. In contrast, the top 10 CD journals were responsible for 34% of CD output in 1995-1999, but only 25% in 2005-2009 (P<0.0001). Publication output per nation was moderately associated with gross domestic product (r=0.59, P<0.0001). Conclusion The number of publications in CD is increasing, out of proportion to the overall growth of the peer-reviewed medical literature. CD publications are spread throughout a larger number of journals, but are more dominated by high-volume authors. Economic factors are associated with national contributions to the world literature in CD.

Citation and download counts are widely available from digital libraries. However, current annotation systems rely on proprietary labels, refer to journals but not articles or authors, and are manually curated. To address these limitations, we propose a social framework based on crowdsourced annotations of scholars, designed to keep up with the rapidly evolving disciplinary and interdisciplinary landscape. We describe a system called Scholarometer, which provides a service to scholars by computing citation-based impact measures. This creates an incentive for users to provide disciplinary annotations of authors, which in turn can be used to compute disciplinary metrics. We first present the system architecture and several heuristics to deal with noisy bibliographic and annotation data. We report on dat! a sharing and interactive visualization services enabled by Scholarometer. Usage statistics, illustrating the data collected and shared through the framework, suggest that the proposed crowdsourcing approach can be successful. Secondly, we illustrate how the disciplinary bibliometric indicators elicited by Scholarometer allow us to implement for the first time a universal impact measure proposed in the literature. Our evaluation suggests that this metric provides an effective means for comparing scholarly impact across disciplinary boundaries.

A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was deployed. Quantitatively, statistics on various aspects of journal articles in RBZ were collected and analysed. Qualitatively, schematic structures of journal articles in the RBZ were coded and documented via Swales's move analysis. It was found that the development of the RBZ could be divided into three stages: a rudimentary period, transitional period and current period. Various factors that shaped the evolution of RBZ for the past 80 years are discussed, including the social and political context of Singapore, changes in scientific perspectives, the efforts of editors, information organization and retrieval, as well as changing scientific communities. It is argued that a longitudinal study of journal articles in the academic periphery enhances our understanding of: (1) the adaptive nature of knowledge production, organization, use and retrieval in various knowledge domains; (2) the importance of understanding the interplay between social factors in the scientific communication process; and (3) the increasing demand for the provision of efficient and effective information systems to meet the pressing need of information organization and retrieval. AUTHOR ADDRESS: H Lin, Nanyang Technol Univ, Wee Kim Wee Sch Commun & Informat, Singapore, Singapore ABSTRACT: Prior studies indicate that undesired consequences may occur if knowledge cannot be effectively shared among members of a project team. Nevertheless, there are few studies that explore the knowledge-sharing (KS) mechanisms used and the contingency factors affecting their application in the context of managing new product development projects that encounter changes in project scope. Therefore, in this research the principles of the contingency approach were adopted in order to examine the KS mechanisms used and the contingency factors affecting their use in this context via an in-depth case study. Three key KS mechanisms and three contingency factors affecting their application were identified based on the research results. The relationship between the KS mechanisms and the contingency factors is formalized in five propositions. Future research that examines the interrelationships among these contingency factors and how they collectively influence KS practices in similar contexts is encouraged.

OCT 2012. p.442-458 SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, LONDON SEARCH TERM(S): KESSLER MM AM DOC 14:10 1963; SMALL H J AM SOC INFORM SCI 24:265 1973; J INF SCI source_abbrev_20 KEYWORDS: context-based image retrieval; hierarchical structure; link analysis; multimedia object; XML document KEYWORDS+: WEB; SEARCH ABSTRACT: In this paper, we are interested in XML multimedia retrieval, the aim of which is to find relevant multimedia objects such as images, audio and video through their context as document structure. In context-based multimedia retrieval, the most common technique is based on the text surrounding the image. However, such textual information can be irrelevant to the image content. Therefore many works are oriented to the use of alternative techniques to extend the image description, such as the use of ontologies, relevance feedback, and user profiles. We studied in our work the use of links between XML elements to improve image retrieval. More precisely, we propose dividing the document into regions through the document structure and image position. Then we weight links between these regions according to their hierarchical positions, in order to distinguish between links that are useful and those that are not useful. We then apply an updated version of the HITS algorithm at the region level, and compute a final image score by combining link scores with initial image scores. Experiments were done on the INEX 2006 and 2007 multimedia tracks, and showed the potential of our method.

We compare (i) normalization by counting citations in proportion to the length of the reference list (1/N of references) with (ii) rescaling by dividing citation scores by the arithmetic mean of the citation rate of the cluster. Rescaling is analytical and therefore independent of the quality of the attribution to the sets, whereas fractional counting provides an empirical strategy for normalization among sets (by evaluating the between-group variance). By the fairness test of Radicchi & Castellano (2012a), rescaling outperforms fractional counting of citations for reasons that we consider. ** apologies for cross-postings _____ Loet Leydesdorff Amsterdam School of Communications Research (ASCoR) Kloveniersburgwal 48, 1012 CX Amsterdam. loet at leydesdorff.net ; http://www.leydesdorff.net/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ivanova & Loet Leydesdorff Using a mathematical model, we show that a Triple Helix (TH) contains self-interaction within this system, and therefore self-organization of innovations can be expected in waves, whereas a Double Helix (DH) remains determined by its linear constituents. (The mathematical model is fully elaborated in an Appendix.) The ensuing innovation systems have a fractional structure: each system can be considered as spanned in a Cartesian space with the dimensions of (S)cience, (B)usiness, and (G)overnment. A national system, for example, can be expected to contain sectorial and regional systems, and to be contained in technological and supra-national systems of innovation. The mathematical modeling enables us to clarify the mechanisms, and provides new possibilities for the prediction. From this perspective, emerging technologies can be expected to be more diversified and their life cycles become shorter than before. In terms of policy implications, the model suggests a shift from the production of material objects to the production of innovative technologies. ** apologies for cross-postings _____ Loet Leydesdorff Amsterdam School of Communications Research (ASCoR) Kloveniersburgwal 48, 1012 CX Amsterdam.

In a nutshell, this paper assesses the interdisciplinary character of "neuroeconomics", a field which emerged in the early 2000s and that studies the neural basis of decision making. Using maps of science, social network analysis and text processing techniques, we demonstrate that this field spans an usually large diversity of scientific domains and generates integrated knowledge drawing from economics, psychology and neuroscience. The paper can be accessed from here (http://www.nature.com/nrn/journal/v13/n11/full/nrn3354.html) and I will be happy to provide an author's copy on request.

OCT 12 2012. p.NIL_364-NIL_373 PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, SAN FRANCISCO SEARCH TERM(S): GARFIELD E rauth; HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005; SMALL H SCIENTOMETRICS 7:391 1985; CITED item_title; GARFIELD E THEOR MED 13:117 1992 KEYWORDS+: CANCER STATISTICS; BCR-ABL; CITATION; IMPACT; CONSEQUENCES; BIBLIOMETRICS; NORMALIZATION; INDICATORS; LEUKEMIA; NATIONS ABSTRACT: A Kuhnian approach to research assessment requires us to consider that the important scientific breakthroughs that drive scientific progress are infrequent and that the progress of science does not depend on normal research. Consequently, indicators of research performance based on the total number of papers do not accurately measure scientific progress. Similarly, those universities with the best reputations in terms of scientific progress differ widely from other universities in terms of the scale of investments made in research and in the higher concentrations of outstanding scientists present, but less so in terms of the total number of papers or citations. This study argues that indicators for the 1% high-citation tail of the citation distribution reveal the contribution of universities to the progress of science and provide quantifiable justification for the large investments in research made by elite research universities. In this tail, which follows a power low, the number of the less frequent and highly cited important breakthroughs can be predicted from the frequencies of papers in the upper part of the tail. This study quantifies the false impression of excellence produced by multinational papers, and by other types of papers that do not contribute to the progress of science. Many of these papers are concentrated in and dominate lists of highly cited papers, especially in lower-ranked universities. The h-index obscures the differences between higher- and lower-ranked universities because the proportion of h-core papers in the 1% high-citation tail is not proportional to the value of the h-index.

Methods: The Web of Science database was used. The analysis (annual and 5- yearly) was restricted to citable documents. The bibliometric indicators used were the number of documents published, the total number of citations received, the median and interquartile range of the citations received and the Hirsch h index. Results: We identified 82,740 documents, with an increase of 18.2% between 5-year periods. Seventeen countries published more than 1,000 documents in the decade and received more than 20,000 citations. A total of 14.5% of the documents were international collaborations (20.6% of all citations) and 37.3% were published in journals in the first quartile (66.3% of all citations). The median number of citations received by all the publications was 9 (interquartile range: 3-21) and their h index was 246. Spain ranked ninth for the number of documents and eighth for citations received and for the h index. The countries showing the greatest increase in the percentage of citations contributing to the world total were Canada and Spain, with an increase between 5-yearly periods of 1.16% and 0.95%, respectively. Conclusions: From 2000 to 2009, the production of Spanish authors in gastroenterology and hepatology was high, achieving a notable position in the total number of citations received.

The analysis focuses on: the themes and issues addressed in the articles published, the methods and methodologies used, theoretical engagement, the level of analysis, and the sex, location and department of the authors. Three main trends are identified over the period 2000-2010: a striking increase in the volume of high quality higher education research being published (outside North America), the increasingly international orientation of the leading higher education research journals (outside North America), and the growing role of women as higher education researchers.

High and continuously increasing research activity related to different aspects of prevention, prediction, diagnosis and treatment of brain metastases has been performed between 1990 and 2010. One of the major databases contains 2695 scientific articles that were published during this time period. Different measures of impact, visibility, and quality of published research are available, each with its own pros and cons. For this overview, article citation rate was chosen. Results. Among the 10 most cited articles, 7 reported on randomized clinical trials. Nine covered surgical or radiosurgical approaches and the remaining one a widely adopted prognostic score. Overall, 30 randomized clinical trials were published between 1990 and 2010, including those with phase II design and excluding duplicate publications, for example, after longer followup or with focus on secondary endpoints. Twenty of these randomized clinical trials were published before 2008. Their median number of citations was 110, range 13- 1013, compared to 5-6 citations for all types of publications. Annual citation rate appeared to gradually increase during the first 2-3 years after publication before reaching high levels. Conclusions. A large variety of preclinical and clinical topics achieved high numbers of citations. However, areas such as quality of life, side effects, and end- of-life care were underrepresented. Efforts to increase their visibility might be warranted.

All articles produced from Brazilian institutions between 1986 and 2010 were compiled and the following aspects were analyzed: position of Brazilian researchers in the list of authors, selected theme, experimental design, studied disease, area of interest and year of publication. RESULTS: Seventy-four articles written with the participation of Brazilian dermatologists have been identified. Upon grouping the articles in five-year periods, an important increase was observed in the Brazilian production from the year 2006 onwards. The dermatologists were placed as second authors in the majority of cases (53.66%). According to the selected theme to be studied, the majority of the articles had a laboratory focus (45.95%). The majority of the articles reported cross- sectional studies or non-controlled clinical trials (both at 17.57%), and pemphigus foliaceus was the most studied disease (29.73%). CONCLUSION: The increase in the number of publications by Brazilian dermatologists over the last years is encouraging, but it is still small in comparison to the total number of articles published in these five periodicals.

JUN 7 2012. p.NIL_1-NIL_7 BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, LONDON SEARCH TERM(S): ZIPF* item_title KEYWORDS+: LEAST EFFORT; ANNOTATION; DISTRIBUTIONS; DATABASE ABSTRACT: Background: Most major genome projects and sequence databases provide a GO annotation of their data, either automatically or through human annotators, creating a large corpus of data written in the language of GO. Texts written in natural language show a statistical power law behaviour, Zipf's law, the exponent of which can provide useful information on the nature of the language being used. We have therefore explored the hypothesis that collections of GO annotations will show similar statistical behaviours to natural language. Results: Annotations from the Gene Ontology Annotation project were found to follow Zipf's law. Surprisingly, the measured power law exponents were consistently different between annotation captured using the three GO sub- ontologies in the corpora (function, process and component). On filtering the corpora using GO evidence codes we found that the value of the measured power law exponent responded in a predictable way as a function of the evidence codes used to support the annotation. Conclusions: Techniques from computational linguistics can provide new insights into the annotation process. GO annotations show similar statistical behaviours to those seen in natural language with measured exponents that provide a signal which correlates with the nature of the evidence codes used to support the annotations, suggesting that the measured exponent might provide a signal regarding the information content of the annotation.

OCT 17 2012. p.NIL_1-NIL_18 FRONTIERS RES FOUND, LAUSANNE SEARCH TERM(S): HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005 KEYWORDS: peer review; publishing; ratings; social web; open evaluation KEYWORDS+: RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; NEW-MODEL; INQUIRY; OUTPUT ABSTRACT: The two major functions of a scientific publishing system are to provide access to and evaluation of scientific papers. While open access (OA) is becoming a reality, open evaluation (OE), the other side of the coin, has received less attention. Evaluation steers the attention of the scientific community and thus the very course of science. It also influences the use of scientific findings in public policy. The current system of scientific publishing provides only journal prestige as an indication of the quality of new papers and relies on a non-transparent and noisy pre-publication peer-review process, which delays publication by many months on average. Here I propose on OE system, in which papers are evaluated post-publication in an ongoing fashion by means of open peer review and rating. Through signed ratings and reviews, scientists steer the attention of their field and build their reputation. Reviewers are motivated to be objective, because low-quality of self-serving signed evaluations will negatively impact their reputation. A core feature of this proposal is a division of powers between the accumulation of evaluative evidence and the analysis of this evidence by paper evaluation functions (PEFs). PEFs can be freely defined by individuals or groups (e.g., scientific societies) and provide a plurality of perspectives on the scientific literature. Simple PEFs will use average of ratings, weighting reviewers (e.g., by H-index), and rating scales (e.g., by relevance to a decision process) in different ways. Complex PEFs will use advanced statistical techniques to infer the quality of a paper. Papers with initially promising ratings will be more deeply evaluated. The continual refinement of PEFs in response to attempts by individuals to influence evaluations in their own favor will make the system ungameable. OA and OE together have the power to revolutionize scientific publishing and usher in a new culture of transparency, constructive criticism, and collaboration.

We use the notion of structural similarity to capture the commonality of two objects in a network, e. g., if two nodes are referenced by the same node, they may be similar. Meeting-based methods including SimRank and P-Rank capture structural similarity very well. Deriving inspiration from PageRank, SimRank has gained popularity by a natural intuition and domain independence. Since it's computationally expensive, subsequent work has focused on optimizing and approximating the computation of SimRank. In this paper, we approach SimRank from a top- k querying perspective where given a query node v, we are interested in finding the top-k nodes that have the highest SimRank score w.r.t. v. The only known approaches for answering such queries are either a naive algorithm of computing the similarity matrix for all node pairs or computing the similarity vector by comparing the query node v with each other node independently, and then picking the top-k. None of these approaches can handle top-k structural similarity search efficiently by scaling to very large graphs consisting of millions of nodes. We propose an algorithmic framework called TopSim based on transforming the top-k SimRank problem on a graph G to one of finding the top-k nodes with highest authority on the product graph GxG. We further accelerate TopSim by merging similarity paths and develop a more efficient algorithm called TopSim-SM. Two heuristic algorithms, Trun-TopSim-SM and Prio-TopSim-SM, are also proposed to approximate TopSim-SM on scale-free graphs to trade accuracy for speed, based on truncated random walk and prioritizing propagation respectively. We analyze the accuracy and performance of TopSim family algorithms and report the results of a detailed experimental study.

Potsdam, 2013, March 19th-20th Message-ID: Wissensorganisation?2013 Theorie, Information und Organisation von Wissen (Theory, information and organization of knowledge) Potsdam, 19th to 20 th March 2013 13th Meeting of the German ISKO (International Society for Knowledge Organization) as a pre-conference to the ISI (International Symposium on Information Science) Theme "Knowledge" is a broad term, which is used under a more practical understanding in the context of information transfer and processing. In contrast, in philosophy of science the basic conditions of the emergence of intersubjective communication are examined. Under "knowledge organization" specifically the systematization and classification of information about knowledge is understood. This includes library schemes, cataloging rules, semantic networks, bibliometric analysis, web content metadata, annotations of images, ontologies for information media. The various dimensions of dealing with knowledge are not independent, but partly build upon each other, or are dependent from each other. The conference will therefore help to introduce new approaches, to work through their theoretical assumptions, and to work out its practical implications. The conference is therefore located at the limits of information theory, philosophy of science, knowledge management and information science. It addresses inter alia Information scientists, Philosophers of science, Business informatics, Library scientists, Social scientists, Bibliometricians. Contributions We welcome contributions that particularly highlight the theoretical and practical framework of knowledge organization. This includes also, for example, the examination of subject-specific or culture-specific aspects. Contributions are intended as talks of 20 minutes length in English or German. Other forms would be agreed on demand. To be refereed sending an extended abstract (one to two pages) in Word or PDF format to the below e-mail address is requested.

Methods: The Web of Science database was used. The analysis (annual and 5-yearly) was restricted to citable documents. The bibliometric indicators used were the number of documents published, the total number of citations received, the median and interquartile range of the citations received and the Hirsch h index. Results: We identified 82,740 documents, with an increase of 18.2% between 5-year periods. Seventeen countries published more than 1,000 documents in the decade and received more than 20,000 citations. A total of 14.5% of the documents were international collaborations (20.6% of all citations) and 37.3% were published in journals in the first quartile (66.3% of all citations). The median number of citations received by all the publications was 9 (interquartile range: 3-21) and their h index was 246. Spain ranked ninth for the number of documents and eighth for citations received and for the h index. The countries showing the greatest increase in the percentage of citations contributing to the world total were Canada and Spain, with an increase between 5-yearly periods of 1.16% and 0.95%, respectively. Conclusions: From 2000 to 2009, the production of Spanish authors in gastroenterology and hepatology was high, achieving a notable position in the total number of citations received.

While open access (OA) is becoming a reality, open evaluation (OE), the other side of the coin, has received less attention. Evaluation steers the attention of the scientific community and thus the very course of science. It also influences the use of scientific findings in public policy. The current system of scientific publishing provides only journal prestige as an indication of the quality of new papers and relies on a non-transparent and noisy pre-publication peer-review process, which delays publication by many months on average. Here I propose on OE system, in which papers are evaluated post-publication in an ongoing fashion by means of open peer review and rating. Through signed ratings and reviews, scientists steer the attention of their field and build their reputation. Reviewers are motivated to be objective, because low-quality of self-serving s! igned evaluations will negatively impact their reputation. A core feature of this proposal is a division of powers between the accumulation of evaluative evidence and the analysis of this evidence by paper evaluation functions (PEFs). PEFs can be freely defined by individuals or groups (e.g., scientific societies) and provide a plurality of perspectives on the scientific literature. Simple PEFs will use average of ratings, weighting reviewers (e.g., by H-index), and rating scales (e.g., by relevance to a decision process) in different ways. Complex PEFs will use advanced statistical techniques to infer the quality of a paper. Papers with initially promising ratings will be more deeply evaluated. The continual refinement of PEFs in response to attempts by individuals to influence evaluations in their own favor will make the system ungameable. OA and OE together have the power to revolutionize scientific publishing and usher in a new culture of transparency, constructive crit! icism, and collaboration.

Consequently, indicators of research performance based on the total number of papers do not accurately measure scientific progress. Similarly, those universities with the best reputations in terms of scientific progress differ widely from other universities in terms of the scale of investments made in research and in the higher concentrations of outstanding scientists present, but less so in terms of the total number of papers or citations. This study argues that indicators for the 1% high-citation tail of the citation distribution reveal the contribution of universities to the progress of science and provide quantifiable justification for the large investments in research made by elite research universities. In this tail, which follows a power low, the ! number of the less frequent and highly cited important breakthroughs can be predicted from the frequencies of papers in the upper part of the tail. This study quantifies the false impression of excellence produced by multinational papers, and by other types of papers that do not contribute to the progress of science. Many of these papers are concentrated in and dominate lists of highly cited papers, especially in lower-ranked universities. The h-index obscures the differences between higher- and lower-ranked universities because the proportion of h-core papers in the 1% high-citation tail is not proportional to the value of the h-index.

Methods: The Web of Science database was used. The analysis (annual and 5-yearly) was restricted to citable documents. The bibliometric indicators used were the number of documents published, the total number of citations received, the median and interquartile range of the citations received and the Hirsch h index. Results: We identified 82,740 documents, with an increase of 18.2% between 5-year periods. Seventeen countries published more than 1,000 documents in the decade and received more than 20,000 citations. A total of 14.5% of the documents were international collaborations (20.6% of all citations) and 37.3% were published in journals in the first quartile (66.3% of all citations). The median number of citations received by all the publications was 9 (interquartile range: 3-21) and their h index was 246. Spain ranked ninth for the number of documents and eighth for citations received and for the h index. The countries showing the greatest increase in the percentage of citations contributing to the world total were Canada and Spain, with an increase between 5-yearly periods of 1.16% and 0.95%, respectively. Conclusions: From 2000 to 2009, the production of Spanish authors in gastroenterology and hepatology was high, achieving a notable position in the total number of citations received.

One of the most cited gender differences in academia is the "productivity puzzle," which suggests that women publish less than men, thereby affecting every aspect of a woman's academic career. Peer-reviewed articles published in the Annals of the Association of American Geographers (Annals) and The Professional Geographer (PG) between 1995 and 2006, and in four subdisciplinary journals between 2005 and 2009, as well as citation reports, were used to explore whether gender differences are present in publication productivity. Gender differences were evident in the proportion of women authors, the frequency of collaboration, and the number of citations across a broad range of prestigious geographic journals. For all journals studied, women were underrepresented, especially in the authorshi! p positions that equate to notions of respect and merit. Although the number of collaborative articles increased during the study period, single-authored papers are the dominant mode of publication for both men and women for most geographic journals. The authorship patterns for frequently cited articles generally mirror those for all articles. Because the frequency of collaborative publication was high for women, the dual trends of a general increase in publication collaboration and increasing participation of women in academic geography bodes well for increased female productivity as it relates to publishing. Nevertheless, it is important to note that, currently, males as lead or single authors represent the predominant voice of geography within the journals examined in this study.

OCT 2012. p.1530-1534 W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, PHILADELPHIA KEYWORDS+: SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS; 10-YEAR SURVEY; LANGUAGE ABSTRACT: Objective: In recent years, significant growth has been seen in the field of emergency medicine. However, the national productivity to the field of emergency medicine remains unknown. This study aimed to reveal the national contributions in the field of emergency medicine. Methods: Articles published in 13 highly cited journals in emergency medicine in 2006 to 2010 were retrieved from PubMed and Science Citation Index. The number of total articles, the per-capita numbers, impact factors (IFs), and citations were tabulated to assess the contribution of different countries. Results: A total number of 9775 articles were published in the 13 journals from 2006 to 2010 worldwide. West Europe, North America, and East Asia were the most productive regions. High-income countries published 87.9% of the total articles. United States published the most number of articles in 2006 to 2010 (4523/9775, or 46.3%), followed by United Kingdom, Australia, China, and Canada. Besides, United States also had the highest total IFs (8729.73) and total citations (22 117). When normalized to population size, Australia had the highest number of articles per million persons (26.00). Germany had the highest mean IF (2.27) and mean citations (6.87). Conclusions: United States is the most productive country in the field of emergency medicine. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

NOV 2012. p.1078-1093 ELSEVIER SCI LTD, OXFORD KEYWORDS: Journal rankings; Linear programming (LP); Research Assessment Exercise (RAE); Research evaluation KEYWORDS+: CONFLICTS-OF-INTEREST; PEER REVIEWS; RANKINGS; SCHOOLS ABSTRACT: The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise in the UK involved the peer review of over 12,500 research outputs in Business and Management, of which 92% were journal articles. Each output was graded on a 4-point scale from "world leading" to "national" with a fifth point being unclassified. These grades were accumulated for each department to provide an overall quality profile in terms of the proportions of its outputs in each category. The assessments of individual papers were not made public but the papers submitted by each department were. This data provides a major opportunity for addressing issues of concern about the evaluation of research and the effects of journal rankings, as well as the possibility of reconstructing the judgements made by the Panel about journal quality. Given the submission details and the resulting grade profile for each department, we have used linear programming to produce the best estimate of the grades awarded to papers from each journal that had more than three entries. This provides both a grade profile for each journal and a single quality estimate. The results are shown to have good validity in comparison with other journal rankings. Apart from providing a ranking of 700 journals based on the RAE results, the paper is also able to shed light on issues such as the accuracy and coverage of the ABS ranking; the degree of selectivity of submissions; the dispersion of grades for a journal; and differences between different subject areas.

Despite the ease with which electronic documents would permit the incorporation of this information into citation-based document search and retrieval systems, the possibilities of repeated citations remain untapped. Part of this under- utilization may be due to the fact that very little is known regarding the pattern of repeated citations in scholarly literature or how this pattern may vary as a function of journal, academic discipline or self- citation. The current research addresses these unanswered questions in order to facilitate the future incorporation of repeated citation information into document search and retrieval systems. Using data mining of electronic texts, the citation characteristics of nine different journals, covering the three different academic fields (economics, computing, and medicine & biology), were characterized. It was found that the frequency (f) with which a reference is cited Nor more times within a document is consistent across the sampled journals and academic fields. Self-citation causes an increase in frequency, and this effect becomes more pronounced for large N. The objectivity, automatability, and insensitivity of repeated citations to journal and discipline, present powerful opportunities for improving citation-based document search. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Based on the reports, the current status indicates that the key technologies for biofuel energy have reached technological maturity in the United States. However, the principal or predominant technologies for biohydrogen energy need a great deal of work to accelerate the development of biohydrogen technology. In addition, three important subjects were found from citation techniques, which are related to biodiesel fuel, biological fuel cell, and the biohydrogen. These patents described that the focus of key techniques of energy production should be established towards low energy demand technologies, and biohydrogen was found to be a potential candidate of the future. Finally, this proposed model can be applied to all high-technology cases, and particularly to green energy field. Copyright (C) 2012, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

We then apply this to echocardiographic measurements of mechanical dyssynchrony and response. BACKGROUND Can mechanical dyssynchrony markers strongly predict ventricular remodeling by biventricular pacing (cardiac resynchronization therapy)? METHODS First, we established the mathematical depression of observable R- 2 arising from: 1) spontaneous variability of response markers; and 2) test-retest variability of dyssynchrony measurements. Second, we contrasted published R-2 values between externally monitored randomized controlled trials and highly skilled single-center studies (HSSCSs). RESULTS Inherent variability of response markers causes a contraction factor in R-2 of 0.48 (change in left ventricular ejection fraction [Delta LVEF]), 0.50 (change in end-systolic volume [Delta ESV]), and 0.40 (change in end-diastolic volume [Delta EDV]). Simultaneously, inherent variability of mechanical dyssynchrony markers causes a contraction factor of between 0.16 and 0.92 (average, 0.6). Therefore the combined contraction factor, that is, limit on sustainably observable R-2 between mechanical dyssynchrony markers and response, is similar to 0.29 (Delta LVEF), similar to 0.24 (Delta ESV), and similar to 0.30 (Delta EDV). Many R-2 values published in HSSCSs exceeded these mathematical limits; none in externally monitored trials did so. Overall, HSSCSs overestimate R-2 by 5- to 20-fold (p = 0.002). Absence of bias-resistance features in study design (formal enrollment and blinded measurements) was associated with more overstatement of R-2. CONCLUSIONS Reports of R-2 > 0.2 in response prediction arose exclusively from studies without formally documented enrollment and blinding. The HSSCS approach overestimates R-2 values, frequently breaching the mathematical ceiling on sustainably observable R-2, which is far below 1.0, and can easily be calculated by readers using formulas presented here. Community awareness of this low ceiling may help resist future claims. Reliable individualized response prediction, using methods originally designed for group-mean effects, may never be possible because it has 2 currently unavailable and perhaps impossible prerequisites: 1) excellent blinded test-retest reproducibility of dyssynchrony; and 2) response markers reproducible over time within nonintervened individuals. Dispassionate evaluation, and improvement, of test-retest reproducibility is required before any further claims of strong prediction. Prediction studies should be designed to resist bias.

This pair of numbers, one related to the productivity and the other to the impact of the competitor, is obtained from the centroid of a so-called h-complement area of the citation distribution of the competitor's portfolio. As such, a large number of competitors' innovation performance embodied in their portfolios can be simultaneously captured and panoramically observed in a two-dimensional coordinate system. In addition to its simplicity and effectiveness, this approach provides us significant insight into where performance difference among these competitors lies, and allows us to track their performance evolution over time.

Semantic evaluation is understood in two ways. Semantic evaluation sensu strict consists of automatic global methods of information retrieval evaluation which are based on knowledge representation systems. Semantic evaluation sensu largo includes also evaluation of retrieved results presented using new methods and comparing them to previously used which evaluated unordered set of documents or lists of ranked documents. Semantic information retrieval methods can be treated as storing meaning of words which are basic building blocks of retrieved texts. In the paper, ontologies are taken as,systems which represent knowledge and meaning. Ontologies serve as a basis for semantic modeling of information needs, which are modeled as families of concepts. Semantic modeling depends also on algorithmic methods of assigning concepts to documents. Some algebraic and partially ordered set methods in semantic modeling are proposed leading to different types of semantic modeling. Then semantic value of a document is discussed, it is relativized to a family of concepts and essentially depends on the used ontology. The paper focuses on sematic relevance of documents, both binary and graded, together with semantic ranking of documents. Various types of semantic value and semantic relevance are proposed and also some semantic versions of information retrieval evaluation measures are given.

The exploration of technological evolution from a quantitative perspective has often been mentioned in the intellectual pursuit. The study applies bibliometric method to the articles published in the field of mechanism and machine theory (MMT). Afterward we analyzed the trends of MMT articles during the 30 years. We found that the ratios of the MMT papers in each journal have a trend of growth and have been centered on the certain two magazines. The articles of MMT exhibit a trend of growth. The USA, China and Canada are the major countries which frequently published the papers in the field of MMT and have significant performance in citations. China has rapidly grown in the quantity and the ratios of papers. In addition, the top 10 researchers with the highest h- index in the field of MMT are primarily affiliated with institutions in English-spoken countries, trumping the other countries.

In this new version, we added -- in response to the referees (Scientometrics)-- a direct interfacing with Pajek (in addition to using VOSViewer for the visualization). We report on the development of an interface to the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that allows for the mapping of patent portfolios as overlays to basemaps constructed from citation relations among all patents contained in this database during the period 1976-2011. Both the interface and the data are in the public domain; the freeware programs VOSViewer and/or Pajek can be used for the visualization. These basemaps and overlays can be generated at both the 3-digit and 4-digit levels of the International Patent Classifications (IPC) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The basemaps can provide a stable mental framework for analysts to follow developments over searches for different years, which can be animated. The full flexibility of the advanced search engines of USPTO are available for generating sets of patents and/or patent applications which can thus be visualized and compared. This instrument allows for addressing questions about technological distance, diversity in portfolios, and animating the developments of both technologies and technological capacities of organizations over time.

In this paper the evolution of the metaphor of a Triple Helix of university-industry-government relations is positioned within the context of global economic change, highlighting how these relations are both continuing and mutating or changing, and the conditions under which a Triple Helix might be seen to be unraveling in the face of pressures on each of the three helices - university-industry-government. The reciprocal dynamics of innovation both in the Triple Helix thesis and in the global economy are systemically explored.

EG TITLE: A critical evaluation of diagnostic methods used to identify dairy cows with acute post-partum metritis in the current literature (Article, English) AUTHOR: Sannmann, I; Arlt, S; Heuwieser, W SOURCE: JOURNAL OF DAIRY RESEARCH 79 (4). NOV 2012. p.436-444 CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, NEW YORK SEARCH TERM(S): J CITATION REPORT rwork KEYWORDS: Acute puerperal metritis; dairy cow; diagnosis; literature KEYWORDS+: TOXIC PUERPERAL METRITIS; EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE; UTERINE INVOLUTION; REPRODUCTIVE-PERFORMANCE; CLINICAL ENDOMETRITIS; RECTAL TEMPERATURE; ANTIBIOTIC-TREATMENT; SHORT COMMUNICATION; CATTLE; CEFTIOFUR ABSTRACT: The overall objective of this study was to investigate how relevant research publications address the validity of diagnostic methods for acute puerperal metritis (APM) in dairy cows, a disease commonly treated with antibiotic drugs. Therefore, a literature search was conducted in Journal of Dairy Science, Theriogenology, Animal Reproduction Science and The Veterinary Journal utilizing the ScienceDirect database. The search revealed 259 articles addressing APM. After applying exclusion criteria, a total of 48 trials remained. It was determined whether the author gave a clear definition of APM, the time of diagnosis relative to calving, and the person who performed the diagnosis. Studies were checked for the presence of definitions of possible findings, thresholds, and test characteristics of the methods used. Overall 9 different diagnostic methods were employed. On average 2.5 +/- 1.75 diagnostic methods were used in a study. References to support the use of the diagnostic methods were provided in 10 of 48 articles (20.8%). Vaginal discharge, transrectal palpation and rectal temperature were examined in 39, 22, and 21 of the studies, respectively. Thresholds for diagnostic tests and test characteristics were mentioned in 6 and 3 of the 48 articles, respectively. Based on this systematic review of 48 research papers the evidence supporting the use of the diagnostic methods to identify cows with APM has either been not reported or is weak. In conclusion, the reporting of the diagnostic methods to identify cows with APM needs to be improved and further high-quality research is necessary to improve diagnostic performance of the methods employed.

Nine articles were identified as SBs, which accounted for 0.005% of basic materials. The SBs were published in Archives of Ophthalmology (n = 3), American Journal of Ophthalmology (n = 3), Acta Ophthalmologica (n = 1), Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science (n = 1), and Japanese Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology (n = 1). For citation histories according to the conjuring SB from the fairy tale, the sleep duration ranged from 7 to 59 years with mean of 19.7 years, the depth of sleep as evaluated by the average citations per year during the sleeping period ranged from 0.09 to 0.82 with mean of 0.45 citations, and the awake intensity as determined by the average citations per year during the first 5 years period following awakening ranged from 3.60 to 17.80 with mean of 8.51 citations. The number of total citations up to 2010 ranged from 109 to 375 with mean of 176.3 citations. Topics of the SBs covered description of new clinical diseases including acute retinal necrosis syndrome, cancer-associated retinopathy, and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, correlate of central corneal thickness with intraocular pressure readings, inadvertent eyeball perforation in retrobulbar anesthesia, pharmacologic weakening of extraocular muscles, amniotic membrane graft for ocular surface reconstruction, and refractive surgery. These data provide a perspective of rare but interesting delayed citation articles in ophthalmology.

Much academic research is still discipline specific. More interdisciplinary research is needed to inform both industry and academe. Interdisciplinary research has been positively associated with increased levels of innovation, productivity and impact. IS research contributes to the knowledge creation and innovation within IS and other College of Business (COB) disciplines. This research defines the intellectual structures within IS and between IS and other COB disciplines. We use a large scale, diachronic bibliometric analysis of COB journals to assess reciprocal knowledge exchange and also to identify potential intra- and interdisciplinary publication outlets. Our findings show an increase in IS knowledge contributions to other COB disciplines, which supports the discussion that IS is a reference discipline. Our research also visually depicts the intellectual structures within IS and between IS and other COB disciplines. Anyone exploring research in IS and allied COB disciplines can peruse the proximity maps to identify groups of similar journals. The findings from this research inform decisions related to which journals to read, target as publication outlets, and include on promotion and tenure lists.

NOV 2012. p.305-317 SPRINGER, DORDRECHT SEARCH TERM(S): HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005; GARFIELD E CAN MED ASSOC J 161:979 1999 KEYWORDS: Journal quality measure; Bibliometrics; Relative measurement index; Journal impact KEYWORDS+: DIFFUSION FACTORS; IMPACT FACTOR; H-INDEX; NETWORKS; INDICATORS ABSTRACT: Journal impact factors (JIF) have been an accepted indicator of ranking journals. However, there has been increasing arguments against the fairness of using the JIF as the sole ranking criteria. This resulted in the creation of many other quality metric indices such as the h-index, g-index, immediacy index, Citation Half- Life, as well as SCIMago journal rank (SJR) to name a few. All these metrics have their merits, but none include any great degree of normalization in their computations. Every citation and every publication is taken as having the same importance and therefore weight. The wealth of available data results in multiple different rankings and indexes existing. This paper proposes the use of statistical standard scores or z- scores. The calculation of the z-scores can be performed to normalize the impact factors given to different journals, the average of z-scores can be used across various criteria to create a unified relative measurement (RM) index score. We use the 2008 JCR provided by Thompson Reuters to demonstrate the differences in rankings that would be affected if the RM- index was adopted discuss the fairness that this index would provide to the journal quality ranking.

The case for psychiatric rating scales (Article, English) AUTHOR: Le Moigne, P; Ragouet, P SOURCE: SCIENTOMETRICS 93 (2). NOV 2012. p.329-349 SPRINGER, DORDRECHT SEARCH TERM(S): GARFIELD E CURR CONTENTS :3 1984; GARFIELD E CURRENT CONTENT 0710 :5 1978 KEYWORDS: Instrument; Depression; Psychiatry; Standardization; History; Co-word analysis KEYWORDS+: CO-WORD ANALYSIS; DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA; DEPRESSION; RELIABILITY; VALIDITY; THINKING ABSTRACT: The aim of this article is to test the model analysis conceived by Terry Shinn on the autonomy and unity of science. For him, the differentiation of sciences can be explained in a large part by the diffusion of generic instruments created by research-technologists moving in interstitial arenas between higher education, industry, statistics institutes or the military. We have applied this analysis to research on depression by making the hypothesis that psychiatric rating scales could have played a similar role in the development of this scientific field. To that purpose, we proceeded to a lexicographic study of keywords mentioned in articles listed by the PsycINFOA (c) data base on this subject between 1950 and 2000. In order to realize an associated words analysis, we constructed a co-occurrence matrix and used clustering analysis based on a grouping index; that is, the equivalency index. We obtained significant aggregates of keywords associated with significant periods, or major moments, of the development of research on depression. This periodization confirmed the structural role played by psychiatric rating scales in the development of this scientific field, and led us to discuss and to extend some elements of the model initiated by Shinn.

Several tools are developed in order to enable university managers to define the value system according to which their university shall be compared to others. We apply this methodology to French universities and illustrate it using the reference classes of the best ranked universities according to several value systems.

It directly addresses the issue of identifying papers that are not associated ("false") with a given author. The proposed method has four steps: name and affiliation filtering, similarity score construction, author screening, and boosted trees classification. In this methodological paper we calculate error rates for our technique. Therefore, we needed to ascertain the correct attribution of each paper. To do this we constructed a small dataset of 4,253 papers allegedly belonging to a random sample of 100 authors. We apply the boosted trees algorithm to classify papers of authors with total false rate no higher than 30% (i.e. 3,862 papers of 91 authors). A one-run experiment achieves a testing misclassification error 0.55%, testing recall 99.84%, and testing precision 99.60%. A 50-run experiment shows that the median of testing classification error is 0.78% and mean 0.75%. Among the 90 authors in the testing set (one author only appeared in the training set), the algorithm successfully reduces the false rate to zero for 86 authors and misclassifies just one or two papers for each of the remaining four authors.

In this cross- sectional study, all anaesthetists (n = 98) in higher specialist training in Ireland were surveyed to determine bibliometrics of their scientific publications and individual and institutional characteristics that can influence research productivity. For trainees with publications, the median (range) h-index was 1 (0-4). There was a positive correlation between participation in a formal research program and increased research productivity using mean citations per publication (r (2) = 0.26, P = 0.006) and h-index (r (2) = 0.26, P = 0.006). There was a positive correlation between formal mentorship and mean citations per publication (r (2) = 0.15, P = 0.04) and h-index (r (2) = 0.17, P = 0.03).

NOV 2012. p.459-471 SPRINGER, DORDRECHT SEARCH TERM(S): SMALL H SCI STUD 4:17 1974; SMALL H J AM SOC INFORM SCI 24:265 1973; KEYWORDS: Hybrid documents co-citation; Technology diffusion; Cluster analysis; Network analysis KEYWORDS+: SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE; NANOTECHNOLOGY; LITERATURES; PERSPECTIVE; INDICATORS; PATTERNS; BUSINESS; PATENTS; LINKAGE; TRENDS ABSTRACT: The paper presents a methodology called hybrid documents co-citation analysis, for studying the interaction between science and technology in technology diffusion. Our approach rests mostly on patent citation, cluster analysis and network analysis. More specifically, with the patents citing Smalley RE in Derwent innovations index as the data sets, the paper implemented hybrid documents co-citation network through two procedures. Then spectrum cluster algorithm was used to reveal the knowledge structure in technology diffusion. After that, with the concordance between network properties and technology diffusion mechanisms, three indicators containing degree, betweenness and citation half-life, were calculated to discuss the basic documents in the pivotal position during the technology diffusion. At last, the paper summarized the hybrid documents co-citation analysis in practise, thus concluded that science and technology undertook different functions and acted dominatingly in the different period of technology diffusion, though they were co-activity all the time.

One of these is a new index that considers both citation and reference counts. We demonstrate this universality for relatively well cited publications from a single institute, grouped by year of publication and by faculty or by department. We show similar behaviour in publications submitted to the arXiv e-print archive, grouped by year of submission and by sub-archive. We also find that for reasonably well cited papers this distribution is well fitted by a lognormal with a variance of around sigma(2) = 1.3 which is consistent with the results of Radicchi et al. (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 105:17268-17272, 2008). Our work demonstrates that comparisons can be made between publications from different disciplines and publication dates, regardless of their citation count and without expensive access to the whole world-wide citation graph. Further, it shows that averages of the logarithm of such relative bibliometric indices deal with the issue of long tails and avoid the need for statistics based on lengthy ranking procedures.

NOV 2012. p.497-516 SPRINGER, DORDRECHT KEYWORDS: Disciplinary structure; Bibliometric methods; G7 countries; BRIC countries KEYWORDS+: PROFILES; EUROPE ABSTRACT: Using a collection of papers gathered from the Web of Science, and defining disciplines by the JCR classification, 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 using bibliometric methods. It discusses the similarity and the balance of their disciplinary structure. We found that: (1) High S&T level countries have a similar national disciplinary structure; (2) In recent years the disciplinary structure of the BRIC countries has become 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.

The country profiles are rankings of the output (indexed in Web of Science) in different knowledge fields during a determined time span for a given country. The analysis of these data permits defining a Country Profile Index, a tool for diagnosing the activity of the scientific community of a country and their possible strengths and weakness. Furthermore, such analysis also enables the search for identities among research patterns of different countries, time evolution of such patterns and the importance of the adherence to the database journals portfolio in evaluating the productivity in a given knowledge field.

The text of a given paper in online scientific literature is often found to be incomplete in terms of its potential to be compared with others, which likely leads to inaccurate results. Our solution to this problem makes use of both text and link information of a paper in question for similarity scores in that the comparison text of the paper is strengthened by adding that of papers related to it. More accurate similarity scores can be computed by reinforcing the input with the citations of the paper as well as the citations included within the paper. The efficacy of the proposed measure is validated through our extensive performance evaluation study which demonstrates a substantial gain.

In this paper, we show that the procedure used to replicate the study is incorrect and, therefore, the authors did not only confuse production with diffusion indicators, but also suggest many indicators that have no discriminative power with the sample studied, - and the most striking - one hundred percent out of the ten cases analyzed were incorrectly analyzed and, therefore, the results do not correspond to the real record count in the Web of Science (WoS). In some cases, the errors involved items omitted from the WoS. The authors also propose rates like the percentage of articles in journals of Spanish spheres, or the percentage of items as first author. These indexes have no theoretical or empirical justification or previous studies that support them.

At present, one of the key strategies for evaluating the effectiveness of research is a quantitative description of publication activities. This characteristic is generated by the information and analytical system of the Russian Science Citation Index for Russian authors, organizations, and scientific periodicals. This paper analyzes a specific example of this system on bibliometric indicators of 22 institutes of the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science of the Russian Academy of Science (RAS). This paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the principles underpinning the ranking of scientific organizations based on these indicators.

Publishing academic research, research by scientists that is shared with the broader research community via journal publications and conference presentations, plays an important role in the development of emerging technologies. While much is known about the relationship between academic research and invention capability (e. g., patent-generation capability), the link between academic research and commercial products demands further investigation. This paper presents a longitudinal study of the link between firms' academic research activity and commercial exploration and exploitation of emerging technology knowledge. According to our findings, firms with an active program of publishing academic research are more likely to commercially explore (via pioneer products) and exploit (via greater product scope) their emerging technology investment.

NOV 2012. p.875-899 SPRINGER, DORDRECHT SEARCH TERM(S): MERTON RK rauth; INSTR SCI source_abbrev_20 KEYWORDS: Undergraduate research experiences; Scientific norms and counter norms; Professional socialization; Images of scientists; Science education; Higher education KEYWORDS+: STUDENTS; APPRENTICESHIPS; EXPERIENCES; UNIVERSITY; EXPERTS; ETHICS; SCHOOL; NORMS; LIFE ABSTRACT: We examined undergraduate research experiences (UREs) participants' and their faculty mentors' beliefs about the professional practices and dispositions of research scientists. In Study 1, 63 science interns and their mentors rated Merton's (J Legal Political Sociol, 1:115- 126, 1942) norms and Mitroff's (Am Sociol Rev, 39(August):579-595, 1974) counter-norms of scientific practice. Specifically, we investigated what practices they believed research scientists should subscribe to (or not), and what practices they believed actually characterized research scientists' behavior in the real world. Regarding idealized practice, mentors rated the norms significantly higher than did interns; mentors and interns generally did not differ in subscription to the counter- norms. Regarding actual practice, mentors believed scientists' behaviors reflected counter-norms more than norms. Mentors further noted discrepancies between practices that should represent and actually did represent scientists' work. In Study 2, interns and mentors listed characteristics associated with "thinking" and "behaving" like scientists. Personal and professional dispositions were mentioned more than intellectual and research skills. Although there was considerable consensus between faculty and intern perceptions, findings also revealed discrepancies that could be addressed in UREs, thereby aiding undergraduates' socialization into the culture of scientific practice. Suggestions are provided for broadening interns' conceptions of both scientists and science.

SEP 2012. p.1112-1121 PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, OXFORD KEYWORDS: Descriptive study; Trends; Research process KEYWORDS+: SCIENCE; KNOWLEDGE ABSTRACT: Background: Numerous analyses of research published in scientific nursing journals have been examined over the past decades. However, a comprehensive analysis of trends in research has not been reported since 1980. Objectives: The aim of this analysis was to review randomly selected research articles published in four scientific nursing journals for the years 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010 to identify changes in selected aspects of research and to compare the findings with those from an earlier similar study. Design: This descriptive study used percentages to present trends in published studies in four scientific nursing journals for twenty-five years. Methods: A total of 976 studies were identified; 50% were randomly selected for each year analyzed. The foci of the research problem, care orientation, conceptual bases, research designs, data analysis procedures, discussion of findings, and recommendations and implications were analyzed. Results: Most studies from 1985 (66%) through 2010 (73%) focused on nursing practice issues; in 2010 they focused on primary health (46%) and chronicity (41%). A decrease in theory-testing research from 1985 (32%) to 2010 (21%), and in theory-based studies from 1985 (31%) to 2010 (22%) was noted. Qualitative studies increased from 1985 (3%) to 2010 (21%). Psychological variables and adult populations continue to be studied mainly over 25 years. For quantitative studies, there were increases in correlational designs from 1985 (35%) to 2010 (38%), experimental designs from 1985 (16%) to 2010 (18%), and methodological studies from 1985(5%) to 2010 (24%). There were decreases in descriptive studies from 1985 (20%) to 2010 (5%), and comparative studies from 1985 (19%) to 2010 (10%). The use of multivariate statistics increased over time. In 1985, 61% of researchers did not link their findings to theory guiding the study; 52% did not in 2010. For qualitative research, approximately 50% fell in the "other category" over the 25 years; in 2010, grounded theory (15%), phenomenological (15%) and ethnographic (20%) designs were used. Conclusions: Trends indicated that the building of science has been slow, incremental, and subtle, as found in the earlier study. Trends suggest a growing maturity in the research designs.

APR 25 2012. p.NIL_1-NIL_9 BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, LONDON KEYWORDS+: RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIALS; SURGERY ABSTRACT: Background: The application of statistics in reported research in trauma and orthopaedic surgery has become ever more important and complex. Despite the extensive use of statistical analysis, it is still a subject which is often not conceptually well understood, resulting in clear methodological flaws and inadequate reporting in many papers. Methods: A detailed statistical survey sampled 100 representative orthopaedic papers using a validated questionnaire that assessed the quality of the trial design and statistical analysis methods. Results: The survey found evidence of failings in study design, statistical methodology and presentation of the results. Overall, in 17% (95% confidence interval; 10-26%) of the studies investigated the conclusions were not clearly justified by the results, in 39% (30-49%) of studies a different analysis should have been undertaken and in 17% (10- 26%) a different analysis could have made a difference to the overall conclusions. Conclusion: It is only by an improved dialogue between statistician, clinician, reviewer and journal editor that the failings in design methodology and analysis highlighted by this survey can be addressed.

Bibliometric analysis methods are the main methods for quantitative analysis of scientific cooperation, efficiency, and other aspects of scientific activity. The information base for this research includes materials from science citation databases containing bibliographic descriptions of the articles published in scientific journals (mainly written in English) in a significant number of fields of science. Various parameters (e.g. dynamics of the number of publications, the number of citation, the level of co-authorship, the scientific specialization index, etc.) at various levels of aggregation (e.g. individual researchers, research organizations, countries and regions of the world) can be calculated based on these data. The results of bibliometric studies can be used in a number of ways: - analysis of latest trends in the development of various scientific fields; - evaluation of the effectiveness of research organizations; - overall assessment of the scientific potential of Russia (its strengths and weaknesses); - identification the most productive scientists in various fields of science; - drawing the international comparisons of publications; - analysis of collaboration networks of scientific teams. The paper analyses the basic indicators of the publication activity of scientists in Russia and the leading countries over the period between 2001 and 2011. Publication activity of Russian scientists is analysed in the context of specific areas of science. This allows the identification of areas of specialization of Russian publications. The paper also examines the dynamics of highly-cited publications and the indicators of the international scientific collaboration of Russian researchers. In this paper, materials of Web of Science database were used for analysis of publication activity.

The visualization of such dense networks is a tough task. Furthermore, most of the available tools provide visualization of such networks in the form of static images. However, the static images are not of any use for the users as user cannot interact with the system and cannot find the required information. In this paper, we have implemented a system that generates a dynamic network of citations. We have used CiteSeer dataset for citation network. We have provided the functionalities where a user can magnify the shown graph and can view all the citations of the required selected paper in a radial tree form. We have also provided a lens facility that provides a hyperbolic view and user can zoom in and out the graph in the area of lens. We created this citation network in Pajek tool and then extended the tool by incorporating JUNG libraries of java.

J. van Raan Abstract: Recent studies of urban scaling show that important socioeconomic city characteristics such as wealth and innovation capacity exhibit a nonlinear, particularly a power law scaling with population size. These nonlinear effects are common to all cities, with similar power law exponents. These findings mean that the larger the city, the more disproportionally they are places of wealth and innovation. Local properties of cities cause a deviation from the expected behavior as predicted by the power law scaling. In this paper we demonstrate that universities show a similar behavior as cities in the distribution of the 'gross university income' in terms of total number of citations over 'size' in terms of total number of publications. Moreover, the power law exponents for university scaling are comparable to those for urban scaling. We find that deviations from the expected behavior can indeed be explained by specific local properties of universities, particularly the field-specific composition of a university, and its quality in terms of field-normalized citation impact. By studying both the set of the 500 largest universities worldwide and a specific subset of these 500 universities -- the top-100 European universities -- we are also able to distinguish between properties of universities with as well as without selection of one specific local property, the quality of a university in terms of its average field-normalized citation impact. It also reveals an interesting observation concerning the working of a crucial property in networked systems, preferential attachment. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Fractal theory is an effective and available method for quantifying the complex and irregular pore structure. In this paper, the fractal dimension calculated by box- counting method based on fractal theory was applied to characterize the pore structure of artificial cores. The microstructure or pore distribution in the porous material was obtained using the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three classical fractals and one sand packed bed model were selected as the experimental material to investigate the influence of box sizes, threshold value, and the image resolution when performing fractal analysis. To avoid the influence of box sizes, a sequence of divisors of the image was proposed and compared with other two algorithms (geometric sequence and arithmetic sequence) with its performance of partitioning the image completely and bringing the least fitted error. Threshold value selected manually and automatically showed that it plays an important role during the image binary processing and the minimum-error method can be used to obtain an appropriate or reasonable one. Images obtained under different pixel matrices in MRI were used to analyze the influence of image resolution. Higher image resolution can detect more quantity of pore structure and increase its irregularity. With benefits of those influence factors, fractal analysis on four kinds of artificial cores showed the fractal dimension can be used to distinguish the different kinds of artificial cores and the relationship between fractal dimension and porosity or permeability can be expressed by the model of D=a - bln(x+c).

To assess the difference between the two approaches, 1,040 articles with a variant of the phrase "evolutionarily stable strategies" (ESS) were identified by searching the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters, Philadelphia, PA) and discipline-level databases. The majority (72%) of all articles were published in life sciences journals. The ESS concept is associated with a small set of canonical publications by John Maynard Smith; OBI represents a decoupling of the use of the phrase and a citation to a John Maynard Smith publication. Across all articles at the record level, OBI is measured by the number of articles with the phrase in the database record but which lack a reference to a source article (implicit citations). At the citation-in-context level, articles that coupled a non-Maynard Smith citation with the ESS phrase (indirect citations) were counted along with those that cited relevant Maynard Smith publications (explicit citations) and OBI counted only based on those articles that lacked any citation coupled with the ESS text phrase. The degree of OBI observed depended on the level of analysis. Record-level OBI trended upward, peaking in 2002 (62%), with a secondary drop and rebound to 53% (2008). Citation-in-context OBI percentages were lower with no clear pattern. Several issues relating to the design of empirical OBI studies are discussed.

NOV 2012. p.2140-2145 WILEY-BLACKWELL, HOBOKEN SEARCH TERM(S): CITATION* IMPACT FACTOR* KEYWORDS: bibliometrics; impact factor KEYWORDS+: JOURNALS ABSTRACT: Historically, papers have been physically bound to the journal in which they were published; but in the digital age papers are available individually, no longer tied to their respective journals. Hence, papers now can be read and cited based on their own merits, independently of the journal's physical availability, reputation, or impact factor (IF). We compare the strength of the relationship between journals' IFs and the actual citations received by their respective papers from 1902 to 2009. Throughout most of the 20th century, papers' citation rates were increasingly linked to their respective journals' IFs. However, since 1990, the advent of the digital age, the relation between IFs and paper citations has been weakening. This began first in physics, a field that was quick to make the transition into the electronic domain. Furthermore, since 1990 the overall proportion of highly cited papers coming from highly cited journals has been decreasing and, of these highly cited papers, the proportion not coming from highly cited journals has been increasing. Should this pattern continue, it might bring an end to the use of the IF as a way to evaluate the quality of journals, papers, and researchers.

NOV 2012. p.2182-2194 WILEY-BLACKWELL, HOBOKEN SEARCH TERM(S): MERTON RK rauth; PRICE DJD rauth; MERTON RK SCIENCE 159:56 1968; KEYWORDS: citation analysis; Internet inforamation resources; information access; scholarly publishing; domain knowledge KEYWORDS+: ELECTRONIC JOURNALS; SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION; INFORMATION OVERLOAD; RELEVANCE CRITERIA; READING PATTERNS; RESEARCH- PROJECT; COGNITIVE MODEL; DOCUMENT USE; SCIENCE; SEARCH ABSTRACT: The Internet has substantially increased the online accessibility of scholarly publications and allowed researchers to access relevant information efficiently across different journals and databases (Costa & Meadows, ). Because of online accessibility, academic researchers tend to read more, and reading has become more superficial (Olle & Borrego, ), such that information overload has become an important issue. Given this circumstance, how the Internet affects knowledge transfer, or, more specifically, the citation behavior of researchers, has become a recent focus of interest. This study assesses the effects of the Internet on citation patterns in terms of 4 characteristics of cited documents: topic relevance, author status, journal prestige, and age of references. This work hypothesizes that academic scholars cite more topically relevant articles, more articles written by lower status authors, articles published in less prestigious journals, and older articles with online accessibility. The current study also hypothesizes that researcher knowledge level moderates such Internet effects. We chose the IT and Group subject area and collected 241 documents published in the pre-web period (1991-1995) and 867 documents published in the web-prevalent period (2006-2010) in the Web of Science database. The references of these documents were analyzed to test the proposed hypotheses, which are significantly supported by the empirical results.

NOV 2012. p.2195-2205 WILEY-BLACKWELL, HOBOKEN SEARCH TERM(S): SEGLEN PO J AM SOC INFORM SCI 43:628 1992; JOURNALS item_title KEYWORDS: bibliographic citations KEYWORDS+: CITATION DISTRIBUTIONS; IMPACT; UNIVERSALITY; INDICATORS ABSTRACT: In many data sets, articles are classified into subfields through the journals in which they have been published. The problem is that while many journals are assigned to a single subfield, many others are assigned to several. This article discusses a multiplicative and a fractional strategy to deal with this situation. The empirical part studies different aspects of citation distributions under the two strategies, namely: the number of articles, the mean citation rate, the broad shape of the distribution, their characterization in terms of size- and scale-invariant indicators of high and low impact, and the presence of extreme distributions, that is, distributions that behave very differently from the rest. We found that, despite large differences in the number of articles according to both strategies, the similarity of the citation characteristics of articles published in journals assigned to one or several subfields guarantees that choosing one of the two strategies may not lead to a radically different picture in practical applications. Nevertheless, the characterization of citation excellence through a high-impact indicator may considerably differ depending on that choice.

The objective was to ascertain countries' capacity to establish intra- and extraregional scientific collaboration. The results show that increased output and citations in medical research have heightened the region's presence and participation in the international scientific arena. These findings may be partly influenced by the inclusion of new journals in the database and regional initiatives that may have enhanced collaboration and knowledge transfer in science. The overall rise in partnering rates is slightly greater intra- than extraregionally. The possible effect of geographic, idiomatic, and cultural proximity is likewise identified. The "scientific dependence" of small or developing countries would explain their high collaboration rates and impact. The evidence shows that the most productive countries draw from knowledge generated domestically or by their neighbors, which would explain why impact is so highly concentrated in the regions with the greatest output. The need to incentivize intraregional relationships must be stressed, although international initiatives should also be supported.

Focusing on three main branches-"diseases," "drugs and chemicals," and "techniques and equipment"-we use base maps and overlay techniques to investigate the translations and interactions and thus to gain a bibliometric perspective on the dynamics of medical innovations. To this end, we first analyze the MEDLINE database, the MeSH index tree, and the various options for a static mapping from different perspectives and at different levels of aggregation. Following a specific innovation (RNA interference) over time, the notion of a trajectory which leaves a signature in the database is elaborated. Can the detailed index terms describing the dynamics of research be used to predict the diffusion dynamics of research results? Possibilities are specified for further integration between the MEDLINE database on one hand, and the Science Citation Index and Scopus (containing citation information) on the other.

We believe that journals in which researchers from academic institutions publish their works can be considered as useful identifiers for representing the relationships between these institutions and establishing comparisons. However, when academic journals are used for research output representation, distinctions must be introduced between them, based on their value as institution descriptors. This leads us to the use of journal weights attached to the institution identifiers. Since a journal in which researchers from a large proportion of institutions published their papers may be a bad indicator of similarity between two academic institutions, it seems reasonable to weight it in accordance with how frequently researchers from different institutions published their papers in this journal. Cluster analysis can then be applied to group the academic institutions, and dendrograms can be provided to illustrate groups of institutions following agglomerative hierarchical clustering. In order to test this methodology, we use a sample of Spanish universities as a case study. We first map the study sample according to an institution's overall research output, then we use it for two scientific fields (Information and Communication Technologies, as well as Medicine and Pharmacology) as a means to demonstrate how our methodology can be applied, not only for analyzing institutions as a whole, but also in different disciplinary contexts.

NOV 2012. p.2341-2344 WILEY-BLACKWELL, HOBOKEN SEARCH TERM(S): GARFIELD E rauth KEYWORDS: citation analysis KEYWORDS+: SLEEPING BEAUTIES; PREDICTION; AGREEMENT; SCIENCE; PEIRCE; CHANCE; MODELS; SCORE ABSTRACT: The way in which scientific publications are picked up by the research community can vary. Some articles become instantly cited, whereas others go unnoticed for some time before they are discovered or rediscovered. Papers with delayed recognition have also been labeled sleeping beauties. I briefly discuss an extreme case of a sleeping beauty. Peirce's short note in Science in 1884 shows a remarkable increase in citations since around 2000. The note received less than 1 citation per year in the decades prior to 2000, 3.5 citations per year in the 2000s, and 10.4 in the 2010s. This increase was seen in several domains, most notably meteorology, medical prediction research, and economics. The paper outlines formulas to evaluate a binary prediction system for a binary outcome. This citation increase in various domains may be attributed to a widespread, growing research focus on mathematical prediction systems and the evaluation thereof. Several recently suggested evaluation measures essentially reinvented or extended Peirce's 120-year- old ideas.

B.; Pilkey, A. K. Source: INFORMATION PROCESSING & MANAGEMENT, 48 (6):1116-1123; 10.1016/j.ipm.2012.01.009 NOV 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: citation, Multiple mentions, Document search, Self-citation KeyWords Plus: IMPACT FACTOR; INFORMATION; INDEX Abstract: Previous studies have repeatedly demonstrated that the relevance of a citing document is related to the number of times with which the source document is cited. Despite the ease with which electronic documents would permit the incorporation of this information into citation-based document search and retrieval systems, the possibilities of repeated citations remain untapped. Part of this under-utilization may be due to the fact that very little is known regarding the pattern of repeated citations in scholarly literature or how this pattern may vary as a function of journal, academic discipline or self-citation. The current research addresses these unanswered questions in order to facilitate the future incorporation of repeated citation information into document search and retrieval systems. Using data mining of electronic texts, the citation characteristics of nine different journals, covering the three different academic fields (economics, computing, and medicine & biology),! were characterized. It was found that the frequency (f) with which a reference is cited Nor more times within a document is consistent across the sampled journals and academic fields. Self-citation causes an increase in frequency, and this effect becomes more pronounced for large N. The objectivity, automatability, and insensitivity of repeated citations to journal and discipline, present powerful opportunities for improving citation-based document search. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

However, societal issues associated with nanotechnology are still a concern to the general public. While numerous technological advancements in nanotechnology have been achieved over the past decade, research into the broader societal issues of nanotechnology is still in its early phases. Based on the data from the Web of Science database, we applied the main path analysis, cluster analysis and text mining tools to explore the main research fronts and hierarchical structure of these societal issues. We found that the research studies fell into four categories: "General Toxicity and EHS (Environment, Health and Safety)," "Medicine and Cytotoxicity," "Assessment and Regulation," and "Environment and Ecotoxicity." These research studies have disclosed much information about the potential effect of nanotechnology on public health and the environment. Relatively speakin! g, the studies on the assessment, regulation, preventive solutions, and environmental protection are just emerging. This finding indicates that an abundance of effort should be conducted on these emerging themes to maximize the benefits of nanotechnology while minimizing its potential harm. The implications for various parties in this domain are also presented. Reprint Address: Yuan Ze Univ, Coll Management, 135 Yuan Tung Rd, Chungli 32003, Taiwan. Addresses: [Lu, Louis Y.

The exploration of technological evolution from a quantitative perspective has often been mentioned in the intellectual pursuit. The study applies bibliometric method to the articles published in the field of mechanism and machine theory (MMT). Afterward we analyzed the trends of MMT articles during the 30 years. We found that the ratios of the MMT papers in each journal have a trend of growth and have been centered on the certain two magazines. The articles of MMT exhibit a trend of growth. The USA, China and Canada are the major countries which frequently published the papers in the field of MMT and have significant performance in citations. China has rapidly grown in the quantity and the ratios of papers. In addition, the top 10 researchers with the highest h-index in the field of MMT are primarily affiliated with institutions in English-spoken countries, trumping the other countries.

Fractal theory is an effective and available method for quantifying the complex and irregular pore structure. In this paper, the fractal dimension calculated by box- counting method based on fractal theory was applied to characterize the pore structure of artificial cores. The microstructure or pore distribution in the porous material was obtained using the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three classical fractals and one sand packed bed model were selected as the experimental material to investigate the influence of box sizes, threshold value, and the image resolution when performing fractal analysis. To avoid the influence of box sizes, a sequence of divisors of the image was proposed and compared with other two algorithms (geometric sequence and arithmetic sequence) with its performance of partitioning the image completely and bringing the least fitted error. Threshold value selected manually and automatically showed that it plays an important role during the image binary processing and the minimum-error method can be used to obtain an appropriate or reasonable one. Images obtained under different pixel matrices in MRI were used to analyze the influence of image resolution. Higher image resolution can detect more quantity of pore structure and increase its irregularity. With benefits of those influence factors, fractal analysis on four kinds of artificial cores showed the fractal dimension can be used to distinguish the different kinds of artificial cores and the relationship between fractal dimension and porosity or permeability can be expressed by the model of D=a - bln(x+c).

To assess the difference between the two approaches, 1,040 articles with a variant of the phrase "evolutionarily stable strategies" (ESS) were identified by searching the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters, Philadelphia, PA) and discipline-level databases. The majority (72%) of all articles were published in life sciences journals. The ESS concept is associated with a small set of canonical publications by John Maynard Smith; OBI represents a decoupling of the use of the phrase and a citation to a John Maynard Smith publication. Across all articles at the record level, OBI is measured by the number of articles with the phrase in the database record but which lack a reference to a source article (implicit citations). At the citation-in-context level, articles that coupled a non-Maynard Smith citation with the ESS phrase (indirect citations) were counted along with those that cited relevant Maynard Smith publications (explicit citations) and OBI counted only based on those articles that lacked any citation coupled with the ESS text phrase. The degree of OBI observed depended on the level of analysis. Record-level OBI trended upward, peaking in 2002 (62%), with a secondary drop and rebound to 53% (2008). Citation-in-context OBI percentages were lower with no clear pattern. Several issues relating to the design of empirical OBI studies are discussed.

NOV 2012. p.2140-2145 WILEY-BLACKWELL, HOBOKEN SEARCH TERM(S): CITATION* IMPACT FACTOR* KEYWORDS: bibliometrics; impact factor KEYWORDS+: JOURNALS ABSTRACT: Historically, papers have been physically bound to the journal in which they were published; but in the digital age papers are available individually, no longer tied to their respective journals. Hence, papers now can be read and cited based on their own merits, independently of the journal's physical availability, reputation, or impact factor (IF). We compare the strength of the relationship between journals' IFs and the actual citations received by their respective papers from 1902 to 2009. Throughout most of the 20th century, papers' citation rates were increasingly linked to their respective journals' IFs. However, since 1990, the advent of the digital age, the relation between IFs and paper citations has been weakening. This began first in physics, a field that was quick to make the transition into the electronic domain. Furthermore, since 1990 the overall proportion of highly cited papers coming from highly cited journals has been decreasing and, of these highly cited papers, the proportion not coming from highly cited journals has been increasing. Should this pattern continue, it might bring an end to the use of the IF as a way to evaluate the quality of journals, papers, and researchers.

Because of online accessibility, academic researchers tend to read more, and reading has become more superficial (Olle & Borrego, ), such that information overload has become an important issue. Given this circumstance, how the Internet affects knowledge transfer, or, more specifically, the citation behavior of researchers, has become a recent focus of interest. This study assesses the effects of the Internet on citation patterns in terms of 4 characteristics of cited documents: topic relevance, author status, journal prestige, and age of references. This work hypothesizes that academic scholars cite more topically relevant articles, more articles written by lower status authors, articles published in less prestigious journals, and older articles with online accessibility. The current study also hypothesizes that researcher knowledge level moderates such Internet effects. We chose the IT and Group subject area and collected 241 documents published in the pre-web period (1991-1995) and 867 documents published in the web-prevalent period (2006-2010) in the Web of Science database. The references of these documents were analyzed to test the proposed hypotheses, which are significantly supported by the empirical results.

NOV 2012. p.2195-2205 WILEY-BLACKWELL, HOBOKEN SEARCH TERM(S): SEGLEN PO J AM SOC INFORM SCI 43:628 1992; JOURNALS item_title KEYWORDS: bibliographic citations KEYWORDS+: CITATION DISTRIBUTIONS; IMPACT; UNIVERSALITY; INDICATORS ABSTRACT: In many data sets, articles are classified into subfields through the journals in which they have been published. The problem is that while many journals are assigned to a single subfield, many others are assigned to several. This article discusses a multiplicative and a fractional strategy to deal with this situation. The empirical part studies different aspects of citation distributions under the two strategies, namely: the number of articles, the mean citation rate, the broad shape of the distribution, their characterization in terms of size- and scale-invariant indicators of high and low impact, and the presence of extreme distributions, that is, distributions that behave very differently from the rest. We found that, despite large differences in the number of articles according to both strategies, the similarity of the citation characteristics of articles published in journals assigned to one or several subfields guarantees that choosing one of the two strategies may not lead to a radically different picture in practical applications. Nevertheless, the characterization of citation excellence through a high-impact indicator may considerably differ depending on that choice.

The objective was to ascertain countries' capacity to establish intra- and extraregional scientific collaboration. The results show that increased output and citations in medical research have heightened the region's presence and participation in the international scientific arena. These findings may be partly influenced by the inclusion of new journals in the database and regional initiatives that may have enhanced collaboration and knowledge transfer in science. The overall rise in partnering rates is slightly greater intra- than extraregionally. The possible effect of geographic, idiomatic, and cultural proximity is likewise identified. The "scientific dependence" of small or developing countries would explain their high collaboration rates and impact. The evidence shows that the most productive countries draw from knowledge generated domestically or by their neighbors, which would explain why impact is so highly concentrated in the regions with the greatest output. The need to incentivize intraregional relationships must be stressed, although international initiatives should also be supported.

Focusing on three main branches-"diseases," "drugs and chemicals," and "techniques and equipment"-we use base maps and overlay techniques to investigate the translations and interactions and thus to gain a bibliometric perspective on the dynamics of medical innovations. To this end, we first analyze the MEDLINE database, the MeSH index tree, and the various options for a static mapping from different perspectives and at different levels of aggregation. Following a specific innovation (RNA interference) over time, the notion of a trajectory which leaves a signature in the database is elaborated. Can the detailed index terms describing the dynamics of research be used to predict the diffusion dynamics of research results? Possibilities are specified for further integration between the MEDLINE database on one hand, and the Science Citation Index and Scopus (containing citation information) on the other.

We believe that journals in which researchers from academic institutions publish their works can be considered as useful identifiers for representing the relationships between these institutions and establishing comparisons. However, when academic journals are used for research output representation, distinctions must be introduced between them, based on their value as institution descriptors. This leads us to the use of journal weights attached to the institution identifiers. Since a journal in which researchers from a large proportion of institutions published their papers may be a bad indicator of similarity between two academic institutions, it seems reasonable to weight it in accordance with how frequently researchers from different institutions published their papers in this journal. Cluster analysis can then be applied to group the academic institutions, and dendrograms can be provided to illustrate groups of institutions following agglomerative hierarchical clustering. In order to test this methodology, we use a sample of Spanish universities as a case study. We first map the study sample according to an institution's overall research output, then we use it for two scientific fields (Information and Communication Technologies, as well as Medicine and Pharmacology) as a means to demonstrate how our methodology can be applied, not only for analyzing institutions as a whole, but also in different disciplinary contexts.

NOV 2012. p.2341-2344 WILEY-BLACKWELL, HOBOKEN SEARCH TERM(S): GARFIELD E rauth KEYWORDS: citation analysis KEYWORDS+: SLEEPING BEAUTIES; PREDICTION; AGREEMENT; SCIENCE; PEIRCE; CHANCE; MODELS; SCORE ABSTRACT: The way in which scientific publications are picked up by the research community can vary. Some articles become instantly cited, whereas others go unnoticed for some time before they are discovered or rediscovered. Papers with delayed recognition have also been labeled sleeping beauties. I briefly discuss an extreme case of a sleeping beauty. Peirce's short note in Science in 1884 shows a remarkable increase in citations since around 2000. The note received less than 1 citation per year in the decades prior to 2000, 3.5 citations per year in the 2000s, and 10.4 in the 2010s. This increase was seen in several domains, most notably meteorology, medical prediction research, and economics. The paper outlines formulas to evaluate a binary prediction system for a binary outcome. This citation increase in various domains may be attributed to a widespread, growing research focus on mathematical prediction systems and the evaluation thereof. Several recently suggested evaluation measures essentially reinvented or extended Peirce's 120-year- old ideas.

Different measures of impact, visibility and quality of published research are available, each with its own pros and cons. For this review, article citation rate was chosen. Articles were identified through systematic search of the abstract database PubMed followed by analyses of total number of citations and proportion of highly cited articles, arbitrarily defined as those with >= 100, 50-99, and 25-49 citations, respectively (citation database Scopus). Overall 5831 scientific articles on the subject were published during this time period. 1.5% of all articles accumulated at least 100 citations, 3.2% were cited between 50 and 99 times, and 7.5% were cited between 25 and 49 times. Among the 10 most cited articles, 7 reported on genomic analyses, molecular subclasses of glioblastoma and! /or stem cells. Overall, 18 randomized clinical trials were published between 2006 and 2010, including those with phase II design. Thirty-nine percent of them accumulated at least 50 citations and 72% were cited at least 25 times. In general, annual citation rate appeared to gradually increase during the first 2-3 years after publication before reaching high levels. A large variety of preclinical and clinical topics achieved at least 25 citations. However, areas such as quality of life, side effects, and end-of-life care were underrepresented. Efforts to increase their visibility might be warranted. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Reprint Address: Nordland Hosp, Dept Oncol & Palliat Med, N-8092 Bodo, Norway.

Search terms matched: IMPACT FACTOR(1) Title: Characterizing the frequency of repeated citations: The effects of journal, subject area, and self-citation Authors: Lievers, WB; Pilkey, AK Author Full Names: Lievers, W. B.; Pilkey, A. K. Source: INFORMATION PROCESSING & MANAGEMENT, 48 (6):1116-1123; 10.1016/j.ipm.2012.01.009 NOV 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: citation, Multiple mentions, Document search, Self-citation KeyWords Plus: IMPACT FACTOR; INFORMATION; INDEX Abstract: Previous studies have repeatedly demonstrated that the relevance of a citing document is related to the number of times with which the source document is cited. Despite the ease with which electronic documents would permit the incorporation of this information into citation-based document search and retrieval systems, the possibilities of repeated citations remain untapped. Part of this under-utilization may be due to the fact that very little is known regarding the pattern of repeated citations in scholarly literature or how this pattern may vary as a function of journal, academic discipline or self-citation. The current research addresses these unanswered questions in order to facilitate the future incorporation of repeated citation information into document search and retrieval systems. Using data mining of electronic texts, the citation characteristics of nine different journals, covering the three different academic fields (economics, computing, and medicine & biology),! were characterized. It was found that the frequency (f) with which a reference is cited Nor more times within a document is consistent across the sampled journals and academic fields. Self-citation causes an increase in frequency, and this effect becomes more pronounced for large N. The objectivity, automatability, and insensitivity of repeated citations to journal and discipline, present powerful opportunities for improving citation-based document search. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

We find that (i) the library-to-individual price ratio of a for-profit journal is 37% higher than that of a comparable nonprofit journal because the price premium of a for-profit journal in the library market is disproportionately larger than that in the individual market, (ii) journals with higher citations per page or *impact factor* are more price discriminatory, and (iii) Elsevier and Wiley-Blackwell practice the highest degree of price discrimination of all publishers.

The analysed aspects covered scientific output and citation tracking on the basis of journal patterns; country; institute and author research performances. Improved indicators Peak-Year Citation per Publication and Relative Peak-Year Rate were applied. A significant share of the citation impact and the most cited articles distribution were identified. Lotka's law held good in author performance. Finally, the paper discusses the imperfect nature of the indicators and proposes complementary methods for research evaluation procedures.

JUL-AUG 2012. p.477-545 EDITIONS DALLOZ, PARIS CEDEX 14 SEARCH TERM(S): HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005 KEYWORDS: economic geography of science; research productivity; citations; publications KEYWORDS+: INDEX ABSTRACT: We use the 2010 Google Scholar citations of academic economists working in France in 2008 to draw a panorama of research in economics in France. This allows us to test whether using a broader support than Econlit publication records changes the assessment of research productivity. We compare different citation indexes, as the number of citations per author, the H-index or the G-index, which we calculate at the individual and at the department levels, with some Econlit publication scores. The latter take more or less into account the quality of journals and the analysis is performed for several time periods. The hierarchy of universities obtained through Google Scholar citation indexes is relatively close to that observed when using Econlit publication scores. However we also observe some dramatic changes for a couple of universities, positive mainly when economics is not the research core of these institutions.

SEP 2012. p.31-35 IRANIAN SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, TEHRAN SEARCH TERM(S): JOURNALS item_title KEYWORDS: Bibliometrics; Mentor; Publishing; Research; Scientometrics; Turkey ABSTRACT: Background: Thesis is an important part of specialisation and doctorate education and requites intense work. The aim of this study was to investigate the publication rates of Turkish Public Health Doctorate Theses (PHDT) and Public Health Specialization (PHST) theses in international and Turkish national peer-review journals and to analyze the distribution of research areas. Methods: List of all theses upto 30 September 2009 were retrieved from theses database of the Council of Higher Education of the Republic of Turkey. The publication rates of these theses were found by searching PubMed, Science Citation Index-Expanded, Turkish Academic Network and Information Center (ULAKBIM) Turkish Medical Database, and Turkish Medline databases for the names of thesis author and mentor. The theses which were published in journals indexed either in PubMed or SCI-E were considered as international publications. Results: Our search yielded a total of 538 theses (243 PHDT, 295 PHST). It was found that the overall publication rate in Turkish national journals was 18%. The overall publication rate in international journals was 11.9%. Overall the most common research area was occupational health. Conclusion: Publication rates of Turkish PHDT and PHST are low. A better understanding of factors affecting this publication rate is important for public health issues where national data is vital for better intervention programs and develop better public health policies.

Using the full records from the Thomson Reuters (ISI) Web of Science (WoS), the journal's bibliometric measures are examined in terms of growth of literature, authorship characteristics, country of origin, distribution of articles' citations and references, and finally graph network of the research collaborations. A keyword occurrence analysis was carried out on the articles' title and the results used to create TagClouds showing perceptually their research importance. Furthermore, these TagClouds were created for the full 3 decades, shorter 5-year periods and most recent years, providing insights into potential research trends and help to relate them to major historic contributions in software engineering.

The World Bank is a prolific publisher; for example, it has published more journal articles in economics than any university except Harvard. But what about their impact on development thinking? Using citation data from Google Scholar it is hard to discern more than a negligible impact for a great many Bank publications. However, a sizeable minority of its journal articles and books have been highly cited. Compared to leading research universities and other international institutions, the Bank's ranking in terms of widely-used citation-based indices is no lower than for its journal article counts. This suggests that the Bank's research does much more than proselytize. Reprint Address: World Bank, Dev Res Grp, 1818 H St NW, Washington, DC 20433 USA.

We believe that journals in which researchers from academic institutions publish their works can be considered as useful identifiers for representing the relationships between these institutions and establishing comparisons. However, when academic journals are used for research output representation, distinctions must be introduced between them, based on their value as institution descriptors. This leads us to the use of journal weights attached to the institution identifiers. Since a journal in which researchers from a large proportion of institutions published their papers may be a bad indicator of similarity between two academic institutions, it seems reasonable to weight it in accordance with how frequently researchers from different institutions published their papers in this journal. Cluster analysis can then be applied to group the academic institutions, and! dendrograms can be provided to illustrate groups of institutions following agglomerative hierarchical clustering. In order to test this methodology, we use a sample of Spanish universities as a case study. We first map the study sample according to an institution's overall research output, then we use it for two scientific fields (Information and Communication Technologies, as well as Medicine and Pharmacology) as a means to demonstrate how our methodology can be applied, not only for analyzing institutions as a whole, but also in different disciplinary contexts.

Focusing on three main branches-"diseases," "drugs and chemicals," and "techniques and equipment"-we use base maps and overlay techniques to investigate the translations and interactions and thus to gain a bibliometric perspective on the dynamics of medical innovations. To this end, we first analyze the MEDLINE database, the MeSH index tree, and the various options for a static mapping from different perspectives and at different levels of aggregation. Following a specific innovation (RNA interference) over time, the notion of a trajectory which leaves a signature in the database is elaborated. Can the detailed index terms describing the dynamics of research be used to predict the diffusion dynamics of research results? Possibilities are specified for further integration between the MEDLINE database on on! e hand, and the Science Citation Index and Scopus (containing citation information) on the other.

Our approach rests mostly on patent citation, cluster analysis and network analysis. More specifically, with the patents citing Smalley RE in Derwent innovations index as the data sets, the paper implemented hybrid documents co-citation network through two procedures. Then spectrum cluster algorithm was used to reveal the knowledge structure in technology diffusion. After that, with the concordance between network properties and technology diffusion mechanisms, three indicators containing degree, betweenness and citation half-life, were calculated to discuss the basic documents in the pivotal position during the technology diffusion. At last, the paper summarized the hybrid documents co-citation analysis in practise, thus concluded that science and technology undertook different functions and acted dominatingly in! the different period of technology diffusion, though they were co-activity all the time.

The problem is that while many journals are assigned to a single subfield, many others are assigned to several. This article discusses a multiplicative and a fractional strategy to deal with this situation. The empirical part studies different aspects of citation distributions under the two strategies, namely: the number of articles, the mean citation rate, the broad shape of the distribution, their characterization in terms of size- and scale-invariant indicators of high and low impact, and the presence of extreme distributions, that is, distributions that behave very differently from the rest. We found that, despite large differences in the number of articles according to both strategies, the similarity of the citation characteristics of articles published in journals assigned to one or several subfields guarantees that choosing one of the two strategies may no! t lead to a radically different picture in practical applications. Nevertheless, the characterization of citation excellence through a high-impact indicator may considerably differ depending on that choice.

To assess the difference between the two approaches, 1,040 articles with a variant of the phrase "evolutionarily stable strategies" (ESS) were identified by searching the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters, Philadelphia, PA) and discipline-level databases. The majority (72%) of all articles were published in life sciences journals. The ESS concept is associated with a small set of canonical publications by John Maynard Smith; OBI represents a decoupling of the use of the phrase and a citation to a John Maynard Smith publication. Across all articles at the record level, OBI is measured by the number of articles with the phrase in the database record but which lack a reference to a source article (implicit citations). At the citation-in-context level, articles that coupled a non-Maynard Smith citation with the ESS phrase (indirect cita! tions) were counted along with those that cited relevant Maynard Smith publications (explicit citations) and OBI counted only based on those articles that lacked any citation coupled with the ESS text phrase. The degree of OBI observed depended on the level of analysis. Record-level OBI trended upward, peaking in 2002 (62%), with a secondary drop and rebound to 53% (2008). Citation-in-context OBI percentages were lower with no clear pattern. Several issues relating to the design of empirical OBI studies are discussed.

In this cross-sectional study, all anaesthetists (n = 98) in higher specialist training in Ireland were surveyed to determine bibliometrics of their scientific publications and individual and institutional characteristics that can influence research productivity. For trainees with publications, the median (range) h-index was 1 (0-4). There was a positive correlation between participation in a formal research program and increased research productivity using mean citations per publication (r (2) = 0.26, P = 0.006) and h-index (r (2) = 0.26, P = 0.006). There was a positive correlation between formal mentorship and mean citations per publication (r (2) = 0.15, P = 0.04) and h-index (r (2) = 0.17, P = 0.03).

Much academic research is still discipline specific. More interdisciplinary research is needed to inform both industry and academe. Interdisciplinary research has been positively associated with increased levels of innovation, productivity and impact. IS research contributes to the knowledge creation and innovation within IS and other College of Business (COB) disciplines. This research defines the intellectual structures within IS and between IS and other COB disciplines. We use a large scale, diachronic bibliometric analysis of COB journals to assess reciprocal knowledge exchange and also to identify potential intra- and interdisciplinary publication outlets. Our findings show an increase in IS knowledge contributions to other COB disciplines, which supports the discussion that IS is a reference discipline. Our research also visually depicts the intellectua! l structures within IS and between IS and other COB disciplines. Anyone exploring research in IS and allied COB disciplines can peruse the proximity maps to identify groups of similar journals.

Source: SCIENTOMETRICS, 93 (2):473-495; 10.1007/s11192-012-0694-9 NOV 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Bibliometrics, Citation analysis, Crown indicator, Universality KeyWords Plus: IMPACT; DISTRIBUTIONS; NETWORKS; UNIVERSITY; SCIENCE; OUTPUT; INDEX Abstract: We find evidence for the universality of two relative bibliometric indicators of the quality of individual scientific publications taken from different data sets. One of these is a new index that considers both citation and reference counts. We demonstrate this universality for relatively well cited publications from a single institute, grouped by year of publication and by faculty or by department. We show similar behaviour in publications submitted to the arXiv e-print archive, grouped by year of submission and by sub-archive. We also find that for reasonably well cited papers this distribution is well fitted by a lognormal with a variance of around sigma(2) = 1.3 which is consistent with the results of Radicchi et al. (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 105:17268-17272, 2008). Our work demonstrates that comparisons can be made between publications from different disciplines and publication dates, regardless of their citation count and without expensive access to the whole world-wide ! citation graph. Further, it shows that averages of the logarithm of such relative bibliometric indices deal with the issue of long tails and avoid the need for statistics based on lengthy ranking procedures.

It directly addresses the issue of identifying papers that are not associated ("false") with a given author. The proposed method has four steps: name and affiliation filtering, similarity score construction, author screening, and boosted trees classification. In this methodological paper we calculate error rates for our technique. Therefore, we needed to ascertain the correct attribution of each paper. To do this we constructed a small dataset of 4,253 papers allegedly belonging to a random sample of 100 authors. We apply the boosted trees algorithm to classify papers of authors with total false rate no higher than 30% (i.e. 3,862 papers of 91 authors). A one-run experiment achieves a testing misclassification error 0.55%, testing recall 99.84%, and testing precision 99.60%. A 50-run experiment shows that the median ! of testing classification error is 0.78% and mean 0.75%. Among the 90 authors in the testing set (one author only appeared in the training set), the algorithm successfully reduces the false rate to zero for 86 authors and misclassifies just one or two papers for each of the remaining four authors.

G.; Zainab, A. N. Source: SCIENTOMETRICS, 93 (2):305-317; 10.1007/s11192-012-0675-z NOV 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Journal quality measure, Bibliometrics, Relative measurement index, Journal impact KeyWords Plus: DIFFUSION FACTORS; IMPACT FACTOR; H-INDEX; NETWORKS; INDICATORS Abstract: Journal impact factors (JIF) have been an accepted indicator of ranking journals. However, there has been increasing arguments against the fairness of using the JIF as the sole ranking criteria. This resulted in the creation of many other quality metric indices such as the h-index, g-index, immediacy index, Citation Half-Life, as well as SCIMago journal rank (SJR) to name a few. All these metrics have their merits, but none include any great degree of normalization in their computations. Every citation and every publication is taken as having the same importance and therefore weight. The wealth of available data results in multiple different rankings and indexes existing. This paper proposes the use of statistical standard scores or z-scores. The calculation of the z-scores can be performed to normalize the impact factors given to different journals, the average of z-scores can be used across various criteria to create a unified relative measurement (RM) index score. We use ! the 2008 JCR provided by Thompson Reuters to demonstrate the differences in rankings that would be affected if the RM-index was adopted discuss the fairness that this index would provide to the journal quality ranking.

The text of a given paper in online scientific literature is often found to be incomplete in terms of its potential to be compared with others, which likely leads to inaccurate results. Our solution to this problem makes use of both text and link information of a paper in question for similarity scores in that the comparison text of the paper is strengthened by adding that of papers related to it. More accurate similarity scores can be computed by reinforcing the input with the citations of the paper as well as the citations included within the paper. The efficacy of the proposed measure is validated through our extensive performance evaluation study which demonstrates a substantial gain.

Quality of economic research is described by publication activity of Slovak professors of economics, who are usually the leaders in number of publications and citations and used to be internationally recognised. The paper does not seek for possible roots or explanations of the situation. It only tries to describe the status quo and provide useful data and comparisons.

It provides a theoretical motivation for the stability of the universally observed Lotka's law. It shows that a remuneration scheme taking into account researchers' rank with respect to the academic resume can induce a larger number of researchers to overtake a minimal production standard. It thus appears as superior to piecework remuneration. Reprint Address: Univ Paris 13, CEPN, F-93430 Villetaneuse, France.

This allows us to test whether using a broader support than Econlit publication records changes the assessment of research productivity. We compare different citation indexes, as the number of citations per author, the H-index or the G-index, which we calculate at the individual and at the department levels, with some Econlit publication scores. The latter take more or less into account the quality of journals and the analysis is performed for several time periods. The hierarchy of universities obtained through Google Scholar citation indexes is relatively close to that observed when using Econlit publication scores. However we also observe some dramatic changes for a couple of universities, positive mainly when economics is not the research core of these institutions.

In conducting these tests, we control for institutional and individual background characteristics. We focus our tests on the link between productivity and academic rank and explore whether this relationship reveals a gender dimension.

A new evaluation approach of science and technology to objective weighting is then put forward on these bases- Weight Giving Based on Data Independence and Data Fluctuation. It is also tested and verified by data from papers in agricultural journals of Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China. The method is to calculate the deviation ratio of evaluation index and the index's independent information rate by the improved multiple correlation coefficient, then multiply the standardized eviation. ratio by the standardized index's independent mformation n rate and normalize the product to get weight. It is a synthesis of advantages of all approaches of linear objective weighting by now and it has enriched objective weighting theory. The applicable conditions for objective weighting are analyzed and discussed as! well. The results show that the entropy weight method and discrete coefficient method have similarities in computing the weight of indices.

Hence, papers now can be read and cited based on their own merits, independently of the journal's physical availability, reputation, or *impact factor* (IF). We compare the strength of the relationship between journals' IFs and the actual citations received by their respective papers from 1902 to 2009. Throughout most of the 20th century, papers' citation rates were increasingly linked to their respective journals' IFs. However, since 1990, the advent of the digital age, the relation between IFs and paper citations has been weakening. This began first in physics, a field that was quick to make the transition into the electronic domain. Furthermore, since 1990 the overall proportion of highly cited papers coming from highly cited journals has been decreasing and, of these highly cite! d papers, the proportion not coming from highly cited journals has been increasing. Should this pattern continue, it might bring an end to the use of the IF as a way to evaluate the quality of journals, papers, and researchers.

G.; Zainab, A. N. Source: SCIENTOMETRICS, 93 (2):305-317; 10.1007/s11192-012-0675-z NOV 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Journal quality measure, Bibliometrics, Relative measurement index, Journal impact KeyWords Plus: DIFFUSION FACTORS; IMPACT FACTOR; H-INDEX; NETWORKS; INDICATORS Abstract: Journal impact factors (JIF) have been an accepted indicator of ranking journals. However, there has been increasing arguments against the fairness of using the JIF as the sole ranking criteria. This resulted in the creation of many other quality metric indices such as the h-index, g-index, immediacy index, Citation Half-Life, as well as SCIMago journal rank (SJR) to name a few. All these metrics have their merits, but none include any great degree of normalization in their computations. Every citation and every publication is taken as having the same importance and therefore weight. The wealth of available data results in multiple different rankings and indexes existing. This paper proposes the use of statistical standard scores or z-scores. The calculation of the z-scores can be performed to normalize the impact factors given to different journals, the average of z-scores can be used across various criteria to create a unified relative measurement (RM) index score. We use ! the 2008 JCR provided by Thompson Reuters to demonstrate the differences in rankings that would be affected if the RM-index was adopted discuss the fairness that this index would provide to the journal quality ranking.

Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:25:16 -0500 Subject: Questions on h-index application to groups (a la Molinari & Molinari) Message-ID: A physicist here where I work had these questions that I am, alas, unable to answer :( Help? 1. In J.-F. Molinari, A. Molinari, A new methodology for ranking scientific institutions, Scientometrics, 75 (2008) 163-174 and A. Molinari, J.-F. Molinari, Mathematical aspects of a new criterion for ranking scientific institutions based on the h-index, Scientometrics, 75 (2008) 339-356 there is mention of an overall distribution of scaling of h = h_m N^beta with beta determined empirically to be ~0.4. This was also found in another study by A.L. Kinney, National scientific facilities and their science impact on nonbiomedical research, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 104 (2007) 17943-17947. Now I've not been able to understand what the implication of the exponent 0.4 is for scaling h into a collection number N and an impact factor h_m. The fact that the scaling works so well is almost supernatural but there must be something else underlying the scaling (there is some discussion in W. Gl?nzel, On the h-index - A mathematical approach to a new measure of publication activity and citation impact, Scientometrics, 67 (2006) 315-321, but I seem to be missing his point). 2. In Hirsch's original publication (J.E. Hirsch, An index to quantify an individual's scientific research output, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 102 (2005) 16569-16572.) he talks about both a linear model as well as a stretched exponential model for the distribution of the total number of citations N_cite. He defines a parameter a as N_cite = a h^2 and notes that a ~ 3 to 5 for individual scientists. For something like the journal citings used in Molinari and Molinari, there must be some underlying distribution in their study of journals as well as in the Kinney study from which one should, in principle, be able to calculate a (the quadratic scaling in h holds well in the data sets we have looked at), but [study team member] was not familiar with this or any work that has looked at it - are you?
