Abstract: 
Two main streams of research performance evaluation rely on quantitative
measurement of research output and citation count. Although research
output counting has achieved a certain degree of success, such an
approach cannot assess the impact of a publication on knowledge
development. A citation count, in contrast, measures the influence of a
publication on subsequent research efforts. Citation count has thus
become an important way to represent research performance. This study
analyzes the uncited articles published in the Asia Pacific Journal of
Tourism Research and the Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing in the
period 1996-2005. Findings would be of use to academic researchers in
planning for the type of article to write.

Abstract: 
Objective To examine whether network meta-analyses, increasingly used to
assess comparative effectiveness of healthcare interventions, follow the
key methodological recommendations for reporting and conduct of
systematic reviews.
Design Methodological systematic review of reports of network
meta-analyses.
Data sources Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Database of
Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Medline, and Embase, searched from
inception to 12 July 2012.
Review methods All network meta-analyses comparing clinical efficacy of
three or more interventions based on randomised controlled trials,
excluding meta-analyses with an open loop network of three
interventions. We assessed the reporting of general characteristics and
key methodological components of the systematic review process using two
composite outcomes. For some components, if reporting was adequate, we
assessed their conduct quality.
Results Of 121 network meta-analyses covering a wide range of medical
areas, 100 (83%) assessed pharmacological interventions and 11 (9%)
non-pharmacological interventions; 56 (46%) were published in journals
with a high *impact factor*. The electronic search strategy for each
database was not reported in 88 (73%) network meta-analyses; for 36
(30%), the primary outcome was not clearly identified. Overall, 61 (50%)
network meta-analyses did not report any information regarding the
assessment of risk of bias of individual studies, and 103 (85%) did not
report any methods to assess the likelihood of publication bias.
Overall, 87 (72%) network meta-analyses did not report the literature
search, searched only one database, did not search other sources, or did
not report an assessment of risk of bias of individual studies. These
methodological components did not differ by publication in a general or
specialty journal or by public or private funding.
Conclusions Essential methodological components of the systematic review
process-conducting a literature search and assessing risk of bias of
individual studies-are frequently lacking in reports of network
meta-analyses, even when published in journals with high impact factors.

Abstract: 
Network medicine has been applied successfully to elicit the structure
of large-scale molecular interaction networks. Its main proponents have
claimed that this approach to integrative medical investigation should
make it possible to identify functional modules of interacting molecular
biological units as well as interactions themselves. This paper takes a
significant step in this direction. Based on a large-scale analysis of
the nervous system molecular medicine literature, this study analyzes
and visualizes the complex structure of associations between diseases on
the one hand and all types of molecular substances on the other. From
this analysis it then identifies functional co-association groups
consisting of several types of molecular substances, each consisting of
substances that exhibit a pattern of frequent co-association with
similar diseases. These groups in turn exhibit interlinking in a complex
pattern, suggesting that such complex interactions between functional
molecular modules may play a role in disease etiology. We find that the
patterns exhibited by the networks of disease - molecular substance
associations studied here correspond well to a number of recently
published research results, and that the groups of molecular substances
identified by statistical analysis of these networks do appear to be
interesting groups of molecular substances that are interconnected in
identifiable and interpretable ways. Our results not only demonstrate
that networks are a convenient framework to analyze and visualize
large-scale, complex relationships among molecular networks and
diseases, but may also provide a conceptual basis for bridging gaps in
experimental and theoretical knowledge.

Abstract: 
The paper is dedicated to science citation index development problems in
Azerbaijan. Existing international evaluation systems in this field are
analyzed. It has been demonstrated that, within the framework of
electronic-science project carried out in the country, formation of
national scientific information resources and science citation index
carries vast importance. Solution of the problem will provide decision
making capabilities in evaluation of researchers, research institutions
and academic journals, their recognition to world scientific society, as
well as science management.
