TITLE: A critical evaluation of diagnostic methods used to
identify dairy cows with acute post-partum metritis in the current
literature (Article, English)

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.

ABSTRACT: To identify delayed recognition publications, or
'Sleeping Beauties' (SBs), that are scarcely cited in the years or
decades following their publication, but then go on to become highly
cited, we screened citation histories of 184,606 articles in 52
ophthalmology journals using the Science Citation Index-Expanded (Thomson
Reuters). 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.

ABSTRACT: Information systems permeate every business function,
thereby requiring holistic Information Systems (IS) approaches. 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.

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.

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.

ABSTRACT: Based on new comparison principles that take into account
both the volume of scientific production and its impact, this paper
proposes a method for defining reference classes of universities. 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.

ABSTRACT: This paper proposes a method for classifying true papers
of a set of focal scientists and false papers of homonymous authors in
bibliometric research processes. 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.

ABSTRACT: Objective measures of research performance are necessary
to facilitate academic advancement of trainee physicians. 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).

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.

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.

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.

ABSTRACT: In the present work we analyze the Country Profiles, open
access data from ISI Thomson Reuter's Science Watch. 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.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a novel similarity measure that
computes similarity scores among scientific research papers. 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.

ABSTRACT: Learning to search on the Web of Science: A reply to the

study. The aims of this paper are, on the one hand, to present the
differences in the results that may be incurred when working with some
automated database functions to obtain scientific production and, on the
other hand, to reveal the mistakes made by Aluja et al. (2011) in their
considerations and suggestions to the study of Olivas-Avila and Musi-
Lechuga (2010a). 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.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, there has been lively discussion of the
criteria to assess the productivity of individual scientists, scientific
groups, and organizations within the scientific community. 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.

ABSTRACT: Recently, Russian science studies, particularly
scientometrics, have increasingly often discussed issues associated with
bibliometric indicators of the scientific productivity of Russian
researchers. Scientists are concerned with how fully information about
the number of the most frequently cited publications is reflected, which
sciences occupy the leading positions in the world and in our country,
the extent to which our scientific works are included in world databases,
and so on. In analyzing citation specifics, the author of the article
published below proposes to introduce a new citation index for
researchers.

ABSTRACT: We report the results of hypotheses tests about the
effects of several measures of research, teaching, and service on the
likelihood of achieving the ranks of associate and full professor. 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. The analyses are based on an APSA-sponsored
survey of all faculty members in departments of political science
(government, public affairs, and international relations) in the United
States.

ABSTRACT: Many studies have demonstrated that academic research
plays an important role in the development of emerging technologies.
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.

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.

TITLE: A descriptive study of research published in scientific
nursing journals from 1985 to 2010 (Article, English)
AUTHOR: Yarcheski, A; Mahon, NE; Yarcheski, TJ
SOURCE: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NURSING STUDIES 49 (9). 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. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All

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.

compliance of a journal with world standards, the international
diversity, citation score of authors and editorial board members, the
journal impact factor and journals self-citation. The demand for the
unified transliteration of the authors name and the use of the unified
English-language name and address of a research organization, as well as
for including the information on funding organization (grant number and

ABSTRACT: The primary aim of this research report is to analyse the
dynamics and structure of the publications of Russian authors, as well as
to define the place of Russian science in the global scientific process.
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.

ABSTRACT: Citation networks are very dense and large networks. 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.
