Abstract:
Aim: To test the hypotheses that published randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in neonatology with negative results (NR) are more likely to be published in journals with lower *impact factor* (IF) than those with positive results (PR); that there is an increase in the number of yearly published RCTs; that studies with large sample sizes are likely to be published in journals with higher IF. Methods: We used all English-written RCTs registered in MEDLINE between 1/1/200131/12/2010 in the field of neonatology. Each RCT was classified as having a PR or NR. IF of each journal was determined for the year of publication. Results: We identified 329 RCTs. Yearly number of RCTs varied between 19 and 46, with no significant consistent linear increase over the years. There was no significant change over the years in average IF or in average patient size. IF and sample size of the studies were not significantly higher in studies with PR than in studies with NR. Conclusion: The number of R!
CTs per year in the field of neonatology has stabilized in the past 10 years, and RCTs with positive or negative results are published in journals of similar IF.

Abstract:
This paper provides the profiling on the 'relative absorptive capacity of knowledge' research to provide insights of the field based on data collected from the ISI Web of science database during the years 2001-2010. The analysis is established in three phases, namely, the general publication, the subject area, and the topic profiling. The study obtains patterns, characteristics, and attributes at country, institutions, journals, author, and core reference levels. It shows the increase of the research activity in the field, based on the publication productivity during the years mentioned. Most of these publications are classified in the subject areas of business and economics, engineering, and operations research and management science. We highlight the nascent interest of the computer science subject area as a way to operationalize the different studies conducted. We found a lack of contribution from African and Latin-American countries despite the importance of the field fo!
r them. Our results are useful in terms of science strategy, science and technology policy, research agendas, research alliances, and research networks according to the special interest of specific actors at the individual, institutional, and national levels.

Abstract:
Allocation of research funding, as well as promotion and tenure decisions, are increasingly made using indicators and impact factors drawn from citations to published work. A debate among scientometricians about proper normalization of citation counts has resolved with the creation of an Integrated Impact Indicator (I3) that solves a number of problems found among previously used indicators. The I3 applies non-parametric statistics using percentiles, allowing highly cited papers to be weighted more than less-cited ones. It further allows unbundling of venues (i.e. journals or databases) at the article level. Measures at the article level can be re-aggregated in terms of units of evaluation. At the venue level, the I3 creates a properly weighted alternative to the journal *impact factor*. I3 has the added advantage of enabling and quantifying classifications such as the six percentile rank classes used by the National Science Board's Science & Engineering Indicators.

Abstract:
The assessment of quality in scientific research is a complex problem. The use of more objective scientometric indices in research evaluation emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. These scientometric indicators, among which the most common one is probably the journal *impact factor* (IF), are increasingly employed to evaluate the quality of scientific research performed by individual scientists, research groups, or institutes. In China, the IF is used not only to measure a journal's scientific influence, but has become increasingly important as a basis for recruitment or promotion, awards of research funding, grants, and authors' academic advancement. But in fact, the assessment of research mainly based on the IF will cause much academic 'froth', so it is necessary for universities and research institutions to reset the academic assessment system in China. In the assessment of scientific research, more research activities, like the organization of conferences and seminars, the coo!
rdination of research groups, and the participation to conferences, should be considered.

ABSTRACT: Similar to trends in postsecondary education across the
world, today's US universities are an increasing mix of native and
foreign-born scholars. US institutions are experiencing a growing number
of international faculty members, but there is limited literature
examining foreign-born faculty who work in US institutions and how
outputs from foreign-born faculty compare to US-born natives. Using data
from the 2004 National Survey of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF:04), this
study examines difference in faculty members' research productivity at
doctoral-granting institutions by foreign/US-born status controlling for
select individual and institutional characteristics. Findings show that
foreign-born faculty members spend more time on research and less time on
undergraduate instruction than US-born peers, and this may contribute to
their higher levels of production. Implications are discussed that
consider how to ensure diverse faculty communities that lead to strong
research and knowledge production.

TITLE: The how and why of academic collaboration: disciplinary

ABSTRACT: This paper examines how and why academics in different
parts of the academy collaborate. In this paper we argue that: (1) There
is a useful analytical distinction to be made between collaboration
(fluid and expressive) and Collaboration (concrete and instrumental); (2)
These two are not mutually exclusive and their use varies between
disciplines; and (3) This distinction is an informative one for policy
making that aims to encourage collaboration. Two interview based studies
were used to explore the differences in collaborative practices across
disciplines. The first was small and confined to a single university (n =
36) and the second was a larger study conducted in three countries (n =
274). Cross tabulations and analysis of open ended questions demonstrated
many differences across the humanities, sciences and social sciences in
collaboration. The C/collaboration distinction proves useful in
understanding different disciplinary approaches to research, and in
pointing to implications for research policy and funding. Attempts to
increase collaborative research through Collaboration only, may well have
deleterious effects on both collaboration and Collaboration. Research
policy and funding should bear these differences in mind when seeking to
stimulate collaborative research, so as to gain better outcomes across a
range of disciplines.

ABSTRACT: During the last decade emerging market firms (EMFs) have
increasingly attracted scholarly attention. Yet, the conclusions
concerning the nature and the theoretical foundations of EMFs'
international expansion vary greatly thus calling for a critical
assessment of the existing theorizing in this field.
We examine publications on the internationalization of EMFs in fourteen
top international management (IM) journals in the period of 2000-2010 and
use the inductive approach and the qualitative content analysis
methodology.
Our analysis shows that the published research can be classified into two
groups: macro- and micro-level studies. The former predominantly employ
macro-level institutional factors to examine the overall patterns of
EMFs' international expansion, while the latter build on a wider range of
approaches, including the resource-based view, network and strategy
perspectives to investigate various aspects of EMFs' internationalization.
The paper identifies a number of theoretical inconsistencies in the
existing research that arguably cause ambiguity in findings and suggests
future research directions to address these inconsistencies. By doing so
the analysis contributes to the central debate in literature concerning
whether conventional theories suffice to explain the EMFs'
internationalization or new theoretical approaches are needed.
The analysis illustrates that the research on EMFs' internationalization
can be improved through refined application of a broader range of
methodologies such as longitudinal and mixed-method studies. The
geographic focus of studies needs to be widened as well. Currently it is
clearly biased towards China, while other emerging markets remain under-
researched.
