TITLE: A scientometric analysis of dermoscopy literature over
the past 25 years (Article, English)

ABSTRACT: Background Dermoscopy is a useful method allowing the non-
invasive visualization of dermal and epidermal structures. Objective To
determine the scientific output in dermoscopy between 1985 and 2009 using
ISI Web of Knowledge. Methods The ISI Web of Knowledge was searched for
articles on dermoscopy published between 1985 and 2009 using appropriate
terms. Articles were characterized each year by publication type and
journal type. Results The search yielded 1490 dermoscopy publications, of
which 1198 (80%) appeared in dermatology journals. A cubic increase in
the number of publications over time was observed (R2 = 95.3%, P <
0.0001). Most of these publications were published in high-impact
dermatologic journals, including Archives of Dermatology (209, 14%),
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (161, 10.8%) and British
Journal of Dermatology (113, 7.6%). Italy produced 29% of all articles
followed by the United States with 22% and Austria with 15%. The number
of dermoscopy publications associated with a given country correlated
with melanoma incidence and Growth Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of
that country (r = 0517 P = 0.02, and r = 0486 P = 0.03 respectively).
Conclusion The number of scientific publications in the field of
dermoscopy has increased significantly over the past 25 years. Italy, the
United States and Austria have dominated the field of dermoscopy.

ABSTRACT: This paper considers the search for the best papers by
the editors of an academic journal. At each period, each editor receives
a set of submissions and has to decide which paper to accept. Some
editors being more demanding than others, researchers choose the quality
level of their papers taking as given the composition of the editorial
board. According to the specific structures of the editorial board,
various equilibria may appear. We show that the journal will publish a
high number of high quality papers only when the editorial board is
composed by a homogeneous set of very demanding editors.

ABSTRACT: This article takes the failure to grasp fully the
paradigmatic case of European security after the Cold War as an example
of how International Relations (IR) would benefit from reformulating not
only its empirical research questions but also several of its central
conceptual building blocks with the aid of Bourdieusian sociology. The
separation between theory and practice and the overemphasis on military
power and state actors blind IR from seeing the power struggles that
reshaped European security. Instead, a Bourdieusian reformulation adds
new types of agency, focuses on the social production of forms of power,
and stresses the processual rather than the substantive character of
social reality.

ABSTRACT: Scholarly impact is one of the strongest currencies in
the Academy and has traditionally been equated with number of citations-
be it for individuals, articles, departments, universities, journals, or
entire fields. Adopting an alternative definition and measure, we use
number of pages as indexed by Google to assess scholarly impact on
stakeholders outside the Academy. Based on a sample including 384 of the
550 most highly cited management scholars in the past three decades,
results show that scholarly impact is a multidimensional construct and
that the impact of scholarly research on internal stakeholders (i.e.,
other members of the Academy) cannot be equated with impact on external
stakeholders (i.e., those outside the Academy). We illustrate these
results with tables showing important changes in the rank ordering of
individuals based on whether we operationalize impact considering
internal stakeholders (i.e., number of citations) or external
stakeholders (i.e., number of non-.edu Web pages). Also, we provide
tables listing the most influential scholars inside the Academy who also
have an important impact outside the Academy. We discuss implications for
empirical research, theory development, and practice regarding the
meaning and measurement of scholarly impact.

ABSTRACT: Only twenty countries have impact factor journals in
'Statistics and Probability'. In this paper, we trace contributions of
Pakistan Journal Statistics in publishing research papers in comparison
to other countries. The analysis is based on Journals Citation Reports
2010 edition issued by the Thomson's Institute of Scientific Information.
The paper provides country and publishing group level comparisons of the
impact factors of journals in this subject. Of 20 countries, only two
Islamic countries i.e. Pakistan and Turkey have one journal each in the
'Statistics and Probability' literature.

ABSTRACT: The public has a natural desire to maximize its return on
investment for science funding, which has made reputation measures for
scientific research increasingly influential. Michael Nielsen warns of
the dangers of overreliance on any single metric of success, suggesting
instead a more diverse approach to deciding which risky endeavors to
support collectively-a perspective with implications beyond science.

ABSTRACT: Citations are a valued currency in research as an easily
measurable proxy for the attention of professional peers and the impact
of scholarly work. However, the excessive use of citation-based metrics
for judging research and researchers themselves has been criticized by
many. Victor Henning, Jason Hoyt, and Jan Reichelt propose complementary
usage-based metrics, which could measure how articles are actually read
and used.

ABSTRACT: The problem of choosing a set of journals to order or to
cancel is significant in applications of operations research to library
decision making. This paper describes a zero-one interval linear
programming approach that can consider all coefficients varied in some
interval, and provide a satisficing solution.
