TITLE: The h(b)-index, a modified h-index designed to more
fairly assess author achievement (Article, English)

SEARCH TERM(S): HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005
KEYWORDS: Publication impact; Author impact; Hirsch index; Modified
Hirsch index; Bibliographic impact
ABSTRACT: The h-index characterizes the publication
achievement/impact of authors and is defined by the originator Jorge
Hirsch as: 'the number of papers with citation number >= h'. The h-index
has the inherent characteristic that authors with very different total
citations can have the same h-index. In fact, no contributions to the h-
index are made either by papers cited fewer times than h, or citations of
an individual paper above h. Such citations are 'excess' citations not
credited by the h-index. To address these deficiencies, we propose a
simple, straightforward modification, the h(b)-index: h(b) = h + root e,
where h is the Hirsch h-index and e is the sum of all citations minus
h(2). Therefore, e is the excess citations not credited by the h-index.

ABSTRACT: The present paper explores the functions of endnotes and
footnotes in Swedish research articles in the fields of history and
philosophy. The results of the study show that the notes not only contain
the reference, but they also give the writer the opportunity to digress
from the line of thought without breaking the thematic flow of the text.
In the historical articles references to the material used play a central
role, while in philosophy notes are more often used to activate the
reader into a discussion.

ABSTRACT: Citation is a common, recurrent feature of written
academic discourse in general and of research articles in particular. It
has been found that different disciplinary discourse communities develop
particular citation conventions (Hyland 1999, 2000, 2002, 2005). It is
believed, however, that not only the discipline but also the language in
which the research article (RA) is written and the cultural context
within which the RA is published, might influence the use made of
citations. Hence, this paper investigates citation conventions in RAs
from a single discipline, business management, written in two languages,
American English and Spanish, published in two different socio-cultural
environments. The aim of this paper is to carry out a contrastive
analysis of (i) the frequency of use of citations, (ii) their
distribution across the different moves of a RA, (iii) the type of
citation (non-integral vs. integral), and (iv) the use of reporting
structures. Both similarities and differences were found between the
citation practices of American-based and Spanish scholars. It can be
inferred from this that whereas the rhetorical similarities can be
discipline-bound, the differences are to be seen as language and culture-
driven and should be best explained in terms of the different socio-
cultural contexts in which the RAs composing the corpus were produced and
distributed.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To evaluate scientific papers published by
Korean radiologists in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)
radiology journals, between 1986 and 2010.
Materials and Methods: The Institute for Scientific Information Web of
Knowledge-Web of Science (SCIE) database was searched for all articles
published by Korean radiologists, in SCIE radiology journals, between
1986 and 2010. We performed the analysis by typing "Korea" and "radiol"
in the address section and selecting the subject area of "Radiology,
Nuclear Medicine, and Medical Imaging" with the use of the general search
function of the software. Analyzed parameters included the total number
of publications, document types, journals, and institutions. In addition,
we analyzed where Korea ranks, compared to other countries, in terms of
the number of published articles. All these data were analyzed according
to five time periods: 1986-1990, 1991-1995, 1996-2000, 2001-2005, and
2006-2010.
Results: Overall, 4974 papers were published by Korean radiologists, in
99 different SCIE journals, between 1986 and 2010, of which 4237 (85.2%)
were article-type papers. Of the total 115395 articles, worldwide,
published in radiology journals, Korea's share was 3.7%, with an upward
trend over time (p < 0.005). The journal with the highest number of
articles was the American Journal of Roentgenology (n = 565, 13.3%). The
institution which produced the highest number of publications was Seoul
National University (n = 932, 22.0%).
Conclusion: The number of scientific articles published by Korean
radiologists in the SCIE radiology journals has increased significantly
between 1986 and 2010. Korea was ranked 4th among countries contributing
to radiology research during the last 5 years.

KEYWORDS+: JOURNALS
ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The number of times an article is
cited in scientific journals reflects its impact on a specific biomedical
field or specialty and reflects the impact of the authors' creativity.
Our purpose was to characterize the most frequently cited articles about
acute pancreatitis.
Methods: We utilized the 2010 edition of Journal Citation Reports and
Social Sciences Citation Index database to determine the most frequently
cited articles published after 1956. The 100 most frequently cited
articles were selected. Articles were evaluated for several
characteristics including number of citations, publication time, country
of origin, institution, journal, publication type of article and
authorship.
Results: The most frequently cited article received 1281 citations and
the least frequently cited article received 163 citations, with a mean of
266.65 citations per article. These citation classics were published in
31 high-impact journals, led by Gastroenterology. Of the 100 articles, 56
were clinical observational studies, 20 concerned basic science and 15
were review articles. The articles originated from 16 countries, with the
United States contributing 47 articles; 56 institutions produced these
100 top-cited articles, led by University of Ulm (9 publications) and New
York University (9 publications); 23 persons authored 3 or more of the
top-cited articles led by Imrie (10 publications).
Conclusion: "Citation classics" about acute pancreatitis are detected in
both experimental and clinical research field, which provide a historical
perspective on the scientific progress and allow for recognition of
important advances in this specialty. Copyright (c) 2012, IAP and EPC.

ABSTRACT: Historical Epistemology: On the Diversity and Change of
Epistemic Values in Science. Historical epistemology involves the claim
that the system of scientific knowledge is not determined by the
observations but is also subject to epistemic requirements that may
change in the historical process of doing research. As a result, the
system of knowledge is path-dependent in that its shape is contingent on
epistemic choices made at certain historical points. I attempt to
elaborate this approach by drawing attention to the double role of
epistemic values. First, such values create relations of significance and
thereby contribute to directing research into certain avenues. Second,
they are also important in the process of confirmation in that they
entail that certain forms of agreement with the facts are superior and
preferable to other such forms. Some epistemic orientations and
reorientations can be reconstructed as arising from an interaction with
nature, but others are based on commitments to the kind of knowledge we
appreciate. The epistemic authority of science is created in large
measure by rules of the scientific community that express how to deal
with knowledge claims.

ABSTRACT: Research on the dynamics of scientific publications
attracts the attention of the scientific world, and the number of studies
in this area has been gradually increasing during recent years. The
efficiency of scientific publications is usually evaluated through
bibliometric studies. Citation indexes serve as the source of data for
bibliometric research. The data used in this study is obtained from
Essential Science Indicators. Essential Science Indicators provide data
about the publications and citations of countries in various fields. This
study evaluates the publication and citation performance of Turkey and
includes various comparisons based on European Union countries. In this
research, cluster analysis technique is used to determine which countries
are similar in publication and citation performances. The findings
indicate that England, Germany, France and Italy have the highest
publication and citation performance among the European Union countries.
On the other hand, Turkey has a place in the group of countries with
lower citation performances in all research fields.

ABSTRACT: Background: The number and quality of publications is an
indirect measure of the capacity of an individual, institution or country
to generate knowledge. Aim: To assess the number of publications of
Chilean surgeons, registered in the Institute for Scientific Knowledge
(ISI). Material and Methods: A search was conducted in the ISI platform
for publications generated by Chilean surgeons in the last ten years. The
number of publications and citations, the journals in which the
publications appeared and nationality of coauthors, were analyzed.
Results: Three hundred and eighty papers were identified. Of these, 333
(88%) were published in the period 2006-2010. The papers were cited in
1.946 opportunities (impact factor of 5.12 and h-index of 21). Thirty
three percent of papers were published in Revista Chilena de Cirugia, 8%
in Obesity Surgery and 4% in the World Journal of Surgery. Thirty four
percent of papers came from the University of Chile, 21% from Catholic
University and 8% from Universidad de la Frontera. Conclusions: The
number of publications of Chilean surgeons is experiencing an increase in
the last years.

ABSTRACT: The article begins with a quantitative scientometric
study of Daniel Gile's published writings. The study focuses on the
diachronic development of Gile's writings and several other aspects of
his scientific oeuvre such as types of publications; languages of
publication; media of publication; topics; and co-authorships. The co-
authorship data are then displayed by means of a coauthorship network and
discussed within the framework of network analysis. In addition, a brief
keyword analysis of the titles of the publications provides a first
glimpse into the range of topics which are tackled in Daniel Gile's
publications. The paper then goes on to deepen the insights gleaned from
the scientometric study in an analysis of citations of Gile's writings by
other authors. The citation analysis represents a first attempt to
investigate Gile's "impact" on the scientific community, even though it
is inherent to the nature of citation analysis that the data obtained by
such an approach can never be complete. We think that all three
approaches can provide interesting insights into Gile's oeuvre. Owing to
his pioneering publications on scientometrics and citation analysis,
Daniel Gile strikes us as a perfect "candidate" for such an author-
centred scientometric approach.

Abstract:
Co-authorship is used to measure scholarly collaborations of countries, institutions, and individual. It refers to the process in which two or more authors or researchers collaborate with each other to create a joint-work through collaboration methods and channels. Although many studies have been conducted to analyze the individual or field co-authorships in Iran, a little have concerned the organisational co-authorships in this country. This study aims to analyze organisational co-authorships among Iranian top universities based on proximity rule and Matthew effect. Data were limited to published articles affiliated to top universities in Iran and extracted from the Web of Science (WoS) database. The co-authorships matrix of these universities was shaped and their relationships were mapped. The "National Co-Authorship Index", which is the rate of scholarly co-authorships among universities of a country, was calculated. Results show that geographic proximity has important an!
d strong role in co-authorships of Iranian top universities. Top universities tend to collaborate with universities of similer ranking and probably this results confirms the Matthew effect in the collaborations of Iranian top universities. Also, the role of collocation or proximity has been drawn o Iran map. Finally, some suggestions were made to improve the co-authorship system of Iranian universities.

Abstract:
The leaders of scientific groups appear in the last place (or in the first place) of the authors' lists of multi-author papers more often than other scientists (group-members). The preferential position of the group leader depends on the branch of science, geographical location and the time point. New tools to study the order of authors were introduced. The validity of assessment of the contributions of particular authors to the paper solely from their ranks in the authors' lists was challenged. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:
We investigate whether journal articles winning a prestigious award of the Thyssen foundation have a higher impact in the scientific literature than a control group of non-awarded articles. In average, awarded articles harvest significantly more citations than articles in the control group. Most remarkably, the average citation rank exactly matches the rank order of awards. The top award earns most citations while the second award, the third award and the non-awarded articles exhibit citation counts in declining order. The correlation of award rank and impact does not vanish if we restrict citation counts to the year of publication and the year thereafter. In this time span the distinction of excellence is very unlikely having a genuine effect on the impact measure. Thus, we do not find support for the social constructivist hypothesis that the correlation of the jury decision and the article impact is explainable by a label of distinctiveness. On the contrary, the empirical !
data confirm that the jury is successful in the selection of articles which in average have a larger impact in the scientific community than non-awarded publications.

Abstract:
In the second half of the 20th century, scientific research in physics, chemistry, and engineering began to focus on the use of large government-funded laboratories. This shift toward so-called big science also brought about a concomitant change in scientific work itself, with a sustained trend toward the use of highly specialized scientific teams, elevating the role of team characteristics on scientific outputs. The actual impact of scientific knowledge is commonly measured by how often peer-reviewed publications are, in turn, cited by other researchers. Therefore, how characteristics such as author team seniority, affiliation diversity, and size affect the overall impact of team publications was examined. Citation information and author demographics were reviewed for 123 articles published in Physical Review Letters from 2004 to 2006 and written by 476 scientists who used the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory's facilities. Correlation analysis indicated that author t!
eams that were more multi-institutional and had homogeneous seniority tended to have more senior scientists. In addition, the analysis suggests that more mixed seniority author teams were likely to be less institutionally dispersed. Quantile regression was used to examine the relationships between author-team characteristics and publication impact. The analysis indicated that both weighted average seniority and average seniority had a negative relationship with the number of citations the publication received. Furthermore, the analysis also showed a positive relationship between first-author seniority and the number of citations, and a negative relationship between the number of authors and the number of citations.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the spatial evolution character of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms using self-organized criticality theory. The spatial evolution character is modeled by the statistical property of crowding distance, which displays a scale-free feature and a power-law distribution. We propose that the evolutional rule of multiobjective optimization algorithms is a self-organized state transition from an initial scalefree state to a final scale-free state. The target is to get close to a critical state representing the true Pareto-optimal front. Besides, the anti-Matthew effect is the internal incentive factor of most strategies. The final scale-free state reflects the quality of the final Pareto-optimal front. The speed of the state transition reflects the efficiency of the algorithm. We simulate the spatial evolution characters of three typical multi-objective evolutionary algorithms representing three fields, i.e., Genetic Algorithm, Differential Evolution and !
the Artificial Immune System algorithm. The results prove that the model and the explanation are effective for analyzing the evolutional rule of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms. Crown Copyright (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:
Science studies have not yet provided a heuristic that distinguishes creative accomplishments from other research contributions. Likewise, there is no commonly agreed typology of creative scientific results. This article takes up these two desiderata. It is argued that scientific creativity springs from the fundamental tension between originality and scientific relevance. Based on this consideration, a heuristic is introduced that singles out creative research accomplishments from other contributions in science. Furthermore, it is shown that creative contributions are not only advances in theory, but also new methods, new empirical phenomena, and the development of new research instrumentation. The article introduces examples from science history and presents results from bibliometric studies.

Abstract: Purpose - This paper aims to utilize Whitley's theory of the intellectual and social organization of the sciences and build on research carried on by Aarek of al., Vakkari, Rochester and Vakkari, and Astrom, to analyze both intellectual and institutional characteristics of Arabic library and information science (LIS).
Design/methodology/approach - Data derived from a content analysis of sampled research articles published in seven core peer-reviewed Arabic LIS journals and from an inventory of the currently identified Arabic LIS educational institutions, professional associations, and scholarly communication channels were analyzed in terms of Whitley's theory and relevant LIS research.
Findings - The social organization of Arabic LIS has highly influenced its intellectual organization. An analysis of types and diversity of institutional affiliations, determination of terminology, resources and fund accessibility, scholarly communication of intellectual productivity, and research collaboration point to high levels of "tasks uncertainty", low levels of "mutual dependency" and uncontrolled "reputational autonomy".
Research limitations/implications - Because Arabic LIS institutions, associations, and research channels are poorly represented on the internet or in accessible literature, it was difficult to collect data comprehensively. While the findings are suggestive and are in agreement with views from the Arabic LIS literature, the results cannot be generalized to regions beyond the Arab world. This investigation is not primarily intended as a contribution to the philosophy of LIS, but to describe the development of LIS in the Arab States within a broad social and intellectual framework.
Originality/value - While there is a considerable body of theoretically-oriented interpretations for bibliometric findings, no research has been conducted to analyze the social and intellectual dimensions of LIS in the Arab world. This paper also fills a gap for this type of the research in Arabic US and creates awareness of Arabic LIS for English-speaking readers.
