Authors: Costas, R; van Leeuwen, TN; Bordons, M Author Full Names: Costas, Rodrigo; van Leeuwen, Thed N.; Bordons, Maria Source: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 63 (12):2433-2450; 10.1002/asi.22662 DEC 2012 Language: English Abstract: This study presents an analysis of the use of bibliographic references by individual scientists in three different research areas. The number and type of references that scientists include in their papers are analyzed, the relationship between the number of references and different impact-based indicators is studied from a multivariable perspective, and the referencing patterns of scientists are related to individual factors such as their age and scientific performance. Our results show inter-area differences in the number, type, and age of references. Within each area, the number of references per document increases with journal impact factor and paper length. Top-performance scientists use in their papers a higher number of references, which are more recent and more frequently covered by the Web of Science. Veteran researchers tend to rely more on older literature and non-Web of Science sources. The longer reference lists of top scientists can be explained by their tendenc! y to publish in high impact factor journals, with stricter reference and reviewing requirements. Long reference lists suggest a broader knowledge on the current literature in a field, which is important to become a top scientist. From the perspective of the handicap principle theory, the sustained use of a high number of references in an author's oeuvre is a costly behavior that may indicate a serious, comprehensive, and solid research capacity, but that only the best researchers can afford. Boosting papers' citations by artificially increasing the number of references does not seem a feasible strategy.

DATA RETRIEVAL: We performed a bibliometric analysis of studies on therapies for children with cerebral palsy from 2002 to 2011 retrieved from Web of Science. SELECTION CRITERIA: Inclusion criteria: (a) peer-reviewed published articles on botulinum toxin, constraint-induced movement therapy, or acupuncture for children with cerebral palsy indexed in Web of Science; (b) original research articles, reviews, meeting abstracts, proceedings papers, book chapters, editorial material, and news items; and (c) publication between 2002 and 2011. Exclusion criteria: (a) articles that required manual searching or telephone access; (b) documents that were not published in the public domain; and (c) a number of corrected papers from the total number of articles. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: (1) Number of publications on the three therapies; (2) annual publication output, distribution by journals, distribution by institution, and top-cited articles on botulinum toxin; (3) annual publication output, distribution by journal, distribution by institution, and top-cited articles on constraint-induced movement therapy; (4) annual publication, distribution by journal, distribution by institution, and top-cited articles on acupuncture. RESULTS: This analysis, based on Web of Science articles, identified several research trends in studies published over the past 10 years of three therapies for children with cerebral palsy. More articles on botulinum toxin for treating children with cerebral palsy were published than the articles regarding constraint-induced movement therapy or acupuncture. The numbers of publications increased over the 10-year study period. Most papers appeared in journals with a focus on neurology, such as Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology and Journal of Child Neurology. Research institutes publishing on botulinum toxin treatments for this population are mostly in the Netherlands, the United States of America, and Australia; those publishing on constraint-induced movement therapy are mostly in Australia and the United States of America; and those publishing on acupuncture are mostly in China, Sweden and the United States of America. CONCLUSION: Analysis of literature and research trends indicated that there was no one specific therapy to cure cerebral palsy. Further studies are still necessary.

Methods: The publications of 30 College of Nursing faculty at a large urban university were examined. Searches by author name were executed in Scopus, WOS, and POP (Publish or Perish, which searches Google Scholar), and the h-index for each author from each database was recorded. In addition, the citing articles of their published articles were imported into a bibliographic management program. This data was used to determine an aggregated h-index for each author. Results: Scopus, WOS, and Google Scholar provided different h-index ratings for authors and each database found unique and duplicate citing references. Conclusions: More than one tool should be used to calculate the h-index for nursing faculty because one tool alone cannot be relied on to provide a thorough assessment of a researcher's impact. If researchers are interested in a comprehensive h-index, they should aggregate the citing references located by WOS and Scopus. Because h-index rankings differ among databases, comparisons between researchers should be done only within a specified database. Cite this article: De Groote, S.L., & Raszewski, R. (2012, DECEMBER).

We propose an alternative index ("Index h-fac"), which considers positively the participation of the first author and that, by having a dynamic characteristic, continuously monitors his/her performance and is easily adaptable to particular or individual situations from different research groups. Results from the geometric mean between the original h-index as proposed by Hirsh and a correction factor ("fac", "first author commitment") and, in turn, this value is divided by the mean interval (in years) of all studies. The index emphasizes two scores (X and Y). These scores X and Y were obtained by asking to all 83 cardiovascular surgeons from Southern Brazil (Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) and Specialists, how they realistically estimated, in percentage, their e! ffective contribution in each published paper in which they appeared as first author. Of the total, 80 (96.4%) responded. The average obtained was 78.0% and on this basis, the X score was established as 0.75 and the score Y as 0.25. The new index also considers the total number of citations as first author and as co-author, the average number of coauthors per publication and the total number of papers published. Theoretical examples are presented, discussing the main advantages of application. Serial evaluations in real world situations should be instituted to confirm the diagnostic and prognostic utility of this new index.

Extensive searching of bibliographic databases is required to keep the registry up to date. However, search filters have been developed to assist in searching the extensive amount of published literature indexed. Search filters can be designed to find literature related to a certain subject (i.e. content-specific filter) or particular study designs (i.e. methodological filter). The objective of this paper is to describe the development and validation of the health-evidence.ca Systematic Review search filter and to compare its performance to other available systematic review filters. Methods: This analysis of search filters was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL. The performance of thirty-one search filters in total was assessed. A validation data set of 219 articles indexed between January 2004 and December 2005 was used to evaluate performance on sensitivity, specificity, precision and the number needed to read for each filter. Results: Nineteen of 31 search filters were effective in retrieving a high level of relevant articles (sensitivity scores greater than 85%). The majority achieved a high degree of sensitivity at the expense of precision and yielded large result sets. The main advantage of the health-evidence.ca Systematic Review search filter in comparison to the other filters was that it maintained the same level of sensitivity while reducing the number of articles that needed to be screened. Conclusions: The health-evidence.ca Systematic Review search filter is a useful tool for identifying published systematic reviews, with further screening to identify those evaluating the effectiveness of public health interventions. The filter that narrows the focus saves considerable time and resources during updates of this online resource, without sacrificing sensitivity.

Source: ANNUAL REVIEW OF APPLIED LINGUISTICS, 32 17-44; 10.1017/S0267190512000025 2012 Language: English Abstract: This article revisits earlier proposals that language learning is, in essence, the learning of formulaic sequences and their interpretations; that this occurs at all levels of granularity from large to small; and that the language system emerges from the statistical abstraction of patterns latent within and across form and function in language usage. It considers recent research in individual differences, the psycholinguistics of language processing, and longitudinal studies of first (L1) and second (L2) language acquisition. The first section reviews studies of individual differences in phonological short-term memory (PSTM) and working memory (WM) and their correlations with vocabulary and grammar acquisition in L2. The second section summarizes evidence that language processing is sensitive to the statistical properties of formulaic language in terms of frequency and transitional probability. The third section examines the definition of formulas and formulaicity using diff! erent statistical metrics. The fourth section evaluates longitudinal research in L1 and L2 into the putative developmental sequence commonly proposed in usage-based approaches, from formula to low-scope pattern to creative construction. The final section weighs the implications of the statistical distributions of formulaicity in usage for developmental sequences of language acquisition. Zipf's law and the "phrasal teddy bear" explain the paradox whereby formulas seed language acquisition and yet learner language is formula-light in comparison to native norms.

However, the way in which they are used, for instance concerning the study or journal types analyzed, can markedly interfere with estimate reliability. This study aimed to analyze the citation distribution pattern in three Brazilian journals of general medicine. DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a descriptive study based on numbers of citations of scientific studies published by three Brazilian journals of general medicine. METHODS: The journals analyzed were Sao Paulo Medical Journal, Clinics and Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira. This survey used data available from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) platform, from which the total number of papers published in each journal in 2007-2008 and the number of citations of these papers in 2009 were obtained. From these data, the citation distribution was derived and journal impact factors (average number of citations) were estimated. These factors were then compared with those directly available from the ISI Journal of Citation Reports (JCR). RESULTS: Respectively, 134, 203 and 192 papers were published by these journals during the period analyzed. The observed citation distributions were highly skewed, such that many papers had few citations and a small percentage had many citations. It was not possible to identify any specific pattern for the most cited papers or to exactly reproduce the JCR impact factors. CONCLUSION: Use of measures like "impact factors", which characterize citations through averages, does not adequately represent the citation distribution in the journals analyzed.

Susan Ashworth had responsibility for the team within Research and Learning Support Services at the University of Glasgow Library, which worked on the Glasgow University submission and had the job of checking for accuracy the outputs of all research-active academic staff. She describes the stresses and strains of the exercise, as well as its satisfactions, and suggests that liaison and other librarians can have a significant role to play, not only in ensuring the accuracy of the bibliographic input but also in resolving the many queries and difficulties which arise during the RAE process.

Bibliometric analysis Aim: To characterize the international visibility and impact of Revista Chilena de Cirugia (RCC) after its indexing on SciELO (2006) and ISI (2009) databases. Methods: Search on WOK platform of Thomson-Reuters for IST citations to RCC articles in the pre-indexing (1992-2005), SciELO indexing (2006-2008) and ISI indexing (2009-2011) periods. Analyzed variables were: total number and anual average of cites to RCC, RCC articles cited and ISI citer articles to RCC; authors, journals and institutions who cite RCC and its international or national origin, and triennial cites. Results: Anual average of ISI cites for pre-indexing, SciELO indexing and ISI indexing periods were 16.9; 58.3 y 164.7, respectively; meanwhile the international origin of articles that cite RCC in the authors-institutions/publication level for each period were 8.6%/32.4%; 8.5%/38.3%; and 25.8%/33.6%, respectively; triennial cites for each period were 3, 12 and 34. Publications with more cites to RCC were Rev! Med Chile, RCC, World J Surg and Cir Esp, meanwhile in authors-institutions level we saw a concentration on Universidad de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Catolica and Universidad de La Frontera. Conclusion: SciELO and ISI indexing has brougth an increase of its impact (cites) and international visibility, although it persists a strong endogamic citation pattern that should be fixed in order to achieve a good international level Reprint Address: Manuel Montt 112,Oficina 408, Temuco, Chile.

Method: Several indices were used to compare journal impact and citations of articles appearing between 1996 and 2010 in six eating disorders journals and six leading general psychiatry journals. Results: The International Journal of Eating Disorders (IJED) had the highest journal impact factor (JIF, 2.278) of the six eating disorders' journals. The general psychiatry journals had higher JIFs and received more citations per eating disorder article than the specialized journals. However, IJED published the highest number of eating disorder articles between 1996 and 2010, and 35 of these articles received at least 100 citations. Discussion: Using the JIF alone to decide where to submit a manuscript is a poor strategy, as this does not take into consideration the impact an article can have within the eating disorder's field over time.

We propose an alternative index ("Index h-fac"), which considers positively the participation of the first author and that, by having a dynamic characteristic, continuously monitors his/her performance and is easily adaptable to particular or individual situations from different research groups. Results from the geometric mean between the original h-index as proposed by Hirsh and a correction factor ("fac", "first author commitment") and, in turn, this value is divided by the mean interval (in years) of all studies. The index emphasizes two scores (X and Y). These scores X and Y were obtained by asking to all 83 cardiovascular surgeons from Southern Brazil (Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) and Specialists, how they realistically estimated, in percentage, their e! ffective contribution in each published paper in which they appeared as first author. Of the total, 80 (96.4%) responded. The average obtained was 78.0% and on this basis, the X score was established as 0.75 and the score Y as 0.25. The new index also considers the total number of citations as first author and as co-author, the average number of coauthors per publication and the total number of papers published. Theoretical examples are presented, discussing the main advantages of application. Serial evaluations in real world situations should be instituted to confirm the diagnostic and prognostic utility of this new index.

The PageRank-style model and the dummy paper model discussed in [Electron. Trans. Numer. Anal., 33 (2008), pp. 1-16] can be obtained by a particular choice of its parameters. Since scientific publications can be ordered by the date of publication it is natural to assume a triangular structure for the adjacency matrix of the citation graph. This greatly simplifies the updating of the ranking vector if new papers are added to the database. In addition by assuming that the citation graph can be modeled as a fixed degree sequence random graph we can obtain an explicit estimation of the behavior of the entries of the ranking vector.

The Book Citation Index opens a new window of opportunities for analyzing Humanities and Social Sciences from a bibliometric point of view. The main objective of this article is to analyze different impact indicators referred to the scientific publishers included in the Book Citation Index for the Social Sciences and Humanities fields during 2006-2011. This way we construct what we have called the ` Book Publishers Citation Reports'. For this, we present a total of 19 rankings according to the different disciplines in Humanities & Arts and Social Sciences & Law with six indicators for scientific publishers.

However, the way in which they are used, for instance concerning the study or journal types analyzed, can markedly interfere with estimate reliability. This study aimed to analyze the citation distribution pattern in three Brazilian journals of general medicine. DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a descriptive study based on numbers of citations of scientific studies published by three Brazilian journals of general medicine. METHODS: The journals analyzed were Sao Paulo Medical Journal, Clinics and Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira. This survey used data available from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) platform, from which the total number of papers published in each journal in 2007-2008 and the number of citations of these papers in 2009 were obtained. From these data, the citation distribution was derived and journal impact factors (average number of citations) were estimated. These factors were then compared with those directly available from the ISI Journal of Citation Reports (JCR). RESULTS: Respectively, 134, 203 and 192 papers were published by these journals during the period analyzed. The observed citation distributions were highly skewed, such that many papers had few citations and a small percentage had many citations. It was not possible to identify any specific pattern for the most cited papers or to exactly reproduce the JCR impact factors. CONCLUSION: Use of measures like "impact factors", which characterize citations through averages, does not adequately represent the citation distribution in the journals analyzed.

Susan Ashworth had responsibility for the team within Research and Learning Support Services at the University of Glasgow Library, which worked on the Glasgow University submission and had the job of checking for accuracy the outputs of all research-active academic staff. She describes the stresses and strains of the exercise, as well as its satisfactions, and suggests that liaison and other librarians can have a significant role to play, not only in ensuring the accuracy of the bibliographic input but also in resolving the many queries and difficulties which arise during the RAE process.

During this period new topics were investigated, new journals came into existence, and different research methods were emphasized. This chapter has two parts. The first part charts the field. To do this we split the 20-year period into two decades and then compare the kinds of topics studied, the research methods used, and the source disciplines employed across 10 journals in accounting and between decades. The second part focuses on the community of accounting scholars, analyzing citations and social network measures that reveal the links between, and influence of, individuals in management accounting research.

As a field, it has accumulated a significant amount of scientific knowledge. Based on bibliometric data from four major social science disciplineseconomics, sociology, psychology, and managementthis study presents a global view of the field by combining longitudinal and structural perspectives. It identifies major research traditions in the field, determines the content and disciplinary composition of each tradition, and maps the changes in the intellectual structure of the field over time. The study suggests that innovation research is becoming increasingly compartmentalized between economics and management disciplines and each segment is becoming increasingly self-contained. A strategy along with a framework is suggested for making research contribution to the field. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The PageRank-style model and the dummy paper model discussed in [Electron. Trans. Numer. Anal., 33 (2008), pp. 1-16] can be obtained by a particular choice of its parameters. Since scientific publications can be ordered by the date of publication it is natural to assume a triangular structure for the adjacency matrix of the citation graph. This greatly simplifies the updating of the ranking vector if new papers are added to the database. In addition by assuming that the citation graph can be modeled as a fixed degree sequence random graph we can obtain an explicit estimation of the behavior of the entries of the ranking vector.

The Book Citation Index opens a new window of opportunities for analyzing Humanities and Social Sciences from a bibliometric point of view. The main objective of this article is to analyze different impact indicators referred to the scientific publishers included in the Book Citation Index for the Social Sciences and Humanities fields during 2006-2011. This way we construct what we have called the ` Book Publishers Citation Reports'. For this, we present a total of 19 rankings according to the different disciplines in Humanities & Arts and Social Sciences & Law with six indicators for scientific publishers.

Bibliometric analysis Aim: To characterize the international visibility and impact of Revista Chilena de Cirugia (RCC) after its indexing on SciELO (2006) and ISI (2009) databases. Methods: Search on WOK platform of Thomson-Reuters for IST citations to RCC articles in the pre-indexing (1992-2005), SciELO indexing (2006-2008) and ISI indexing (2009-2011) periods. Analyzed variables were: total number and anual average of cites to RCC, RCC articles cited and ISI citer articles to RCC; authors, journals and institutions who cite RCC and its international or national origin, and triennial cites. Results: Anual average of ISI cites for pre-indexing, SciELO indexing and ISI indexing periods were 16.9; 58.3 y 164.7, respectively; meanwhile the international origin of articles that cite RCC in the authors-institutions/publication level for each period were 8.6%/32.4%; 8.5%/38.3%; and 25.8%/33.6%, respectively; triennial cites for each period were 3, 12 and 34. Publications with more cites to RCC were Rev Med Chile, RCC, World J Surg and Cir Esp, meanwhile in authors- institutions level we saw a concentration on Universidad de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Catolica and Universidad de La Frontera. Conclusion: SciELO and ISI indexing has brougth an increase of its impact (cites) and international visibility, although it persists a strong endogamic citation pattern that should be fixed in order to achieve a good international level AUTHOR ADDRESS: C Manterola, Manuel Montt 112,Oficina 408, Temuco, Chile -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Impact Factor: Should This Be a Criterion to Decide Which Journal to Publish in?

Despite various criticisms and a number of shortcomings, this scrutiny and critical assessment by experts is still considered essential by many. This chapter describes the realistic expectations of peer review and what constitutes good practice, emphasising the important role of the editor. It also outlines the many ways traditional peer review is being adapted, the new models that are appearing, and the increasing emphasis on openness and transparency. Various problems are addressed, including difficulties in finding reviewers, the imbalance between publication output and participation in peer review worldwide, the 'wastage' of reviews that accompanies the often repeated submission of manuscripts to journal after journal after rejection, and the increasing pressure on researchers not only to publish but to publish in high-impact journals. All these are impacting the peer- review processes of journals and editorial workload. The recent innovation to concentrate only on the assessment of soundness of research methodology and reporting pre-publication is receiving acceptance from researchers keen to publish their work without undue delay, and is being adopted by an increasing number of publishers. In this model, the evaluation of interest, importance and potential impact is left for after publication. The possibilities for post-publication review and evaluation in an online world are many and varied, but there are also many challenges. It is clear that, nearly three and a half centuries on from the appearance of the first journals, the opportunities for innovation and experimentation in peer review are greater than ever before. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Citation, bibliometrics and quality: assessing impact and usage (Article, English) AUTHOR: Finch, A SOURCE: ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL PUBLISHING. 2012. p.243-267 CHANDOS PUBL, SAWSTON SEARCH TERM(S): GARFIELD E rauth; GROSS PLK SCIENCE 66:385 1927; HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005; BIBLIOMETR* item_title; CITATION item_title; CITATION* item_title; GARFIELD E SCIENCE 122:108 1955 KEYWORDS: Research performance; Web of Science; Scopus; Google Scholar; Impact Factor; EigenFactor; SJR; SNIP; Open Access; early view; h-index; strategic journal development KEYWORDS+: OPEN-ACCESS ARTICLES; H-INDEX; SCIENCE ABSTRACT: This chapter details the various methods of evaluating the impact of published research, with a particular focus on citations.

Previous approaches to this problem find the lowest centrality nodes efficiently at the expense of exactness. The main motivation of this paper is to answer, in the affirmative, the question, 'Is it possible to improve the search time without sacrificing the exactness?'. Our solution is Sniper, a fast search method for time-evolving graphs. Sniper is based on two ideas: (1) It computes approximate centrality by reducing the original graph size while guaranteeing the answer exactness, and (2) It terminates unnecessary distance computations early when pruning unlikely nodes. The experimental results show that Sniper can find the lowest centrality nodes significantly faster than the previous approaches while it guarantees answer exactness. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE AND ANALYTICS: FROM BIG DATA TO BIG IMPACT (Article, English) AUTHOR: Chen, HC; Chiang, RHL; Storey, VC SOURCE: MIS QUARTERLY 36 (4).

BI&A 1.0, BI&A 2.0, and BI&A 3.0 are defined and described in terms of their key characteristics and capabilities. Current research in BI&A is analyzed and challenges and opportunities associated with BI&A research and education are identified. We also report a bibliometric study of critical BI&A publications, researchers, and research topics based on more than a decade of related academic and industry publications. Finally, the six articles that comprise this special issue are introduced and characterized in terms of the proposed BI&A research framework.

DEC 2012. p.1269-1291 SOC INFORM MANAGE-MIS RES CENT, MINNEAPOLIS SEARCH TERM(S): GARFIELD E SCIENCE 178:471 1972 KEYWORDS: Systemic risk; contagious bank failures; business intelligence; simulation KEYWORDS+: SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINES; BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE; BANKRUPTCY PREDICTION; CONTAGION; EXPOSURES; SELECTION; FAILURES; MARKETS; WORK ABSTRACT: In the wake of the 2008 financial tsunami, existing methods and tools for managing financial risk have been criticized for weaknesses in monitoring and alleviating risks at the systemic level. A 2009 article in Nature suggested new approaches to modeling economic meltdowns are needed to prevent future financial crises. However, existing studies have not focused on analysis of systemic risk at the individual bank level in a banking network, which is essential for monitoring and mitigating contagious bank failures. To this end, we develop a network approach to risk management (NARM) for modeling and analyzing systemic risk in banking systems. NARM views banks as a network linked through financial relationships. It incorporates network and financial principles into a business intelligence (BI) algorithm to analyze systemic risk attributed to each individual bank via simulations based on real-world data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Our research demonstrates the feasibility of modeling and analyzing systemic risk at the individual bank level in a banking network using a BI-based approach. In terms of business impact, NARM offers a new means for predicting contagious bank failures and determining capital injection priorities in the wake of financial crises. Our simulation study shows that under significant market shocks, the interbank payment relationship becomes more influential than the correlated bank portfolio relationship in determining an individual bank's survival. These insights should help financial regulators devise more effective policies and mechanisms to prevent the collapse of a banking system. Further, NARM and the simulation procedure driven by real-world data proposed in this study have instructional value to similar research areas such as bank stress testing, where time series data and business networks may be studied.

Current theories and tools are directed at finding a paper or website, not gaining an understanding of the key papers, authors, controversies, and hypotheses. This report presents an effort to integrate statistics, text analytics, and visualization in a multiple coordinated window environment that supports exploration. Our prototype system, Action Science Explorer (ASE), provides an environment for demonstrating principles of coordination and conducting iterative usability tests of them with interested and knowledgeable users. We developed an understanding of the value of reference management, statistics, citation text extraction, natural language summarization for single and multiple documents, filters to interactively select key papers, and network visualization to see citation patterns and identify clusters. A three-phase usability study guided our revisions to ASE and led us to improve the testing methods.

In all, 15,000 random queries were formulated to GSC to obtain a list of 26,682 registered users. From this list a network graph of 6,660 labels was built and classified according to the Scopus Subject Area classes. Results display a detailed label map of the most used (>15 times) tags. The structural analysis shows that the core of the network is occupied by computer sciencerelated disciplines that account for the most used and shared labels. This core is surrounded by clusters of disciplines related or close to computing such as Information Sciences, Mathematics, or Bioinformatics. Classical areas such as Chemistry and Physics are marginalized in the graph. It is suggested that GSC would in the future be an accurate source to map Science because it is based on the labels that scientists themselves use to describe their own research activity.

Classification usually takes place at the level of journals, where the Web of Science subject categories are the most popular classification system. However, journal-level classification systems have two important limitations: They offer only a limited amount of detail, and they have difficulties with multidisciplinary journals. To avoid these limitations, we introduce a new methodology for constructing classification systems at the level of individual publications. In the proposed methodology, publications are clustered into research areas based on citation relations. The methodology is able to deal with very large numbers of publications. We present an application in which a classification system is produced that includes almost 10 million publications. Based on an extensive analysis of this classification system, we discuss the strengths and the limitations of the proposed methodology. Important strengths are the transparency and relative simplicity of the methodology and its fairly modest computing and memory requirements. The main limitation of the methodology is its exclusive reliance on direct citation relations between publications. The accuracy of the methodology can probably be increased by also taking into account other types of relationsfor instance, based on bibliographic coupling.

The number and type of references that scientists include in their papers are analyzed, the relationship between the number of references and different impact-based indicators is studied from a multivariable perspective, and the referencing patterns of scientists are related to individual factors such as their age and scientific performance. Our results show inter-area differences in the number, type, and age of references. Within each area, the number of references per document increases with journal impact factor and paper length. Top- performance scientists use in their papers a higher number of references, which are more recent and more frequently covered by the Web of Science. Veteran researchers tend to rely more on older literature and non-Web of Science sources. The longer reference lists of top scientists can be explained by their tendency to publish in high impact factor journals, with stricter reference and reviewing requirements. Long reference lists suggest a broader knowledge on the current literature in a field, which is important to become a top scientist. From the perspective of the handicap principle theory, the sustained use of a high number of references in an author's oeuvre is a costly behavior that may indicate a serious, comprehensive, and solid research capacity, but that only the best researchers can afford. Boosting papers' citations by artificially increasing the number of references does not seem a feasible strategy.

Understanding the topological properties of knowledge map can help us gain better insights into human cognition structure and its mechanism, design better knowledge map construction algorithms, and guide learners' navigational learning through knowledge map. In this paper, we perform topological analysis on 12 knowledge maps from computer science, mathematics, and physics. We discover that they exhibit small-world and scale-free properties like many other networks. Specifically, we show the locality of learning-dependency and hierarchical modular structure in the 12 knowledge maps. In addition, we study how KUs affect the network efficiency by removing KUs based on different centrality measures. We find that the importance of KUs varies greatly. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

NOV 2012. p.18-25 AULA MEDICA EDICIONES, MADRID KEYWORDS: Nutrition Sciences; School of Bromatology; Spanish Society of Bromatology; Journal Anales de Bromatologia; Bibliometry; Bibliometric indicators ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyse the institutionalisation of nutrition sciences in Spain in the second half of the twentieth century, and evaluate the activities of the journal Anales de Bromatologia. Method: Descriptive bibliometric study of the original articles. Full names of the authors and the complete article title were recorded. Using key words, each article was assigned by consensus of the researchers to a single main subject in accordance with the thirteen subject areas addressed by the Spanish Society of Bromatology in its meetings. An analysis was conducted of the distribution and trends of general productivity indicators and their characteristics. Results: A total of 917 original articles were published, with a mean of 20.8 papers/year. The subjects for which the highest percentage of articles was recorded were foreign substances in foods, foods of plant origin and nutrition. A total of 874 authors contributed, with a collaboration rate of 2.43 and a transience rate of 70.1%. Distribution of the number of authors per article was close to that indicated by Lotka's law of scientific productivity. The top twelve producers, predominantly women, participated in 49.9% of the articles published. Conclusion: The journal showed low productivity and was of an endogamous nature, with a predominance of authors related to the School of Bromatology in the Faculty of Pharmacy, at the Complutense University. The subjects addressed reflected the demands of the nutrition transition in Spain.

Method: Searches were conducted with the descriptor (MeSH, as Major Topic) "Fatty Acids, Omega-3" from the first date available until December 31, 2010. Databases consulted: MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, IS! Web of Knowledge, CINAHL and LILACS. Results: The most common type of document was originals articles. Obsolescence was set at 5 years. The geographical distribution of authors who appear as first author was EEUU and the articles were written predominantly in English. The study population was 90.98% (95% CI 89.25 to 92.71) adult humans. The documents were classified into 59 subject areas and the most studied topic 16.24% (95% CI 14.4 to 18.04) associated with omega-3, was cardiovascular disease. Conclusion: This study indicates that the scientific literature on omega- 3 fatty acids is a full force area of knowledge. The Anglo-Saxon institutions dominate the scientific production and it is mainly oriented to the study of cardiovascular disease.

Bricker and Simkins (1994) to determine the relative influence of seven prominent finance journals. The original analysis is expanded on a longitudinal basis for the years 1990 to 2006 inclusive. It is found that the relative influence rank produces some stable ordering over the study period with the Journal of Finance and Journal of Financial Economics occupying top spots. A change in the ordering of the relative influence rank indicates a shift in inter-journal communication trends.

Design: Systematic review. We searched in PubMed identifying potential systematic reviews with meta-analysis (SRs) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) between 2006 and 2010 in the five fertility journals with highest *impact factor*. Setting: Academic institution. Patient(s): None. Intervention(s): None. Main Outcomes Measure(s): Number and proportion of potential SRs and RCTs published in 2006-2011, and quality assessment of real RCTs published in 2010. Result(s): Among evaluated articles, 1.5% and 6.8% were SRs and RCTs. Fertility and Sterility has been the journal with more potential SRs and RCTs, and Human Reproduction Update was the only one with an increasing trend in the number of potential SRs (from 5.3% in 2006 to 24.4% in 2011). Among confirmed RCTs, for each quality assessment item, between 50% and 85% were classified as having low risk of bias, and the most common high risk of bias was related to allocation concealment. Only 23% had a trial registration, which were associated with higher quality assessment classifications. Only 10% of RCTs reported pharmaceutical industry funding. Conclusion(s): This is the first study assessing the methodologic quality of publications in the top five fertility journals. More than 90% of all the publications were neither SRs nor RCTs. It is remarkable that the risk of bias was generally low. Enhancing trial registration and funding source statements represent opportunities to improve the quality of reporting. We hope this information is useful to researchers, editorial boards, and clinicians moving forward with research in our field. (Fertil Steril (R) 2012; 98: 1539-43.

Method: Several indices were used to compare journal impact and citations of articles appearing between 1996 and 2010 in six eating disorders journals and six leading general psychiatry journals. Results: The International Journal of Eating Disorders (IJED) had the highest journal *impact factor* (JIF, 2.278) of the six eating disorders' journals. The general psychiatry journals had higher JIFs and received more citations per eating disorder article than the specialized journals. However, IJED published the highest number of eating disorder articles between 1996 and 2010, and 35 of these articles received at least 100 citations. Discussion: Using the JIF alone to decide where to submit a manuscript is a poor strategy, as this does not take into consideration the impact an article can have within the eating disorder's field over time.

Authors: Mingo, JT Author Full Names: Tarrago Mingo, Jorge Source: RA-REVISTA DE ARQUITECTURA, (14):3-+; JUN 2012 Language: Spanish Document Type: Article Abstract: The Chronicle of Higher Education is a weekly newspaper that gathers news and academic information throughout the United States, job opportunities for university majors, and a section devoted to art and ideas. It is published in Washington D.C. It has around 64,000 subscribers and over 315,000 readers. Its daily digital version adds to the paper issue, among other things, discussion forums and several tools directed to the academia. It has over 1,9 million monthly single visits. 'What is the Future of Academic Publishing?' is the title of a recent article in its digital version, part of a series -Digital Challenges to Academic Publishing- with a total of four interviews (to date) to different editors from the editorial world. It collects an interesting conversation with the publishing director of the MIT Press regarding the question. The interviewer begins querying about the fact that some personalities throughout the U.S. encourage researchers to publish their academic works in on-line media -such as blogs- without the need for a later publication on traditional media such as a book or a printed magazine. The reply, not easy, is perhaps mild but realistic, and could be summoned to economical aspects. As a matter of fact, if we think that publishing previously in the digital realm will imply diminishing the possible audience (instead of increasing it) the costs of producing a book, or a magazine, are unaffordable during the first two years, which is the time the publishing world foresees to retrieve investment. Although, in spite of the lack of studies providing facts -that academic publishers can't risk with their own publications- and above the incidental examples in one sense or another, it is not clear that publishing a paper in 'non classical' means can help or harm the later printed or 'classical' version. We must obviously believe the backdrop statement, which implies that the academic book or magazine, above any other means, must always generate benefits, or at least not generate losses. Regardless of these issues, truth is that in a broad sense, the media has evolved radically in the last years and research in the fields of architectural history, critique, and theory are no exception. It is not necessary to expand on this issue, it is clear that the communication possibilities have multiplied. It can be said that these can generate a transfer of mere uncritical information and doubtful contents. Further more, we don't have to look back too far to realize that the same methods of academic research are far from the ones only ten years ago. If the rather easy access to databases, libraries, academic deposits, magazines, files or any sort of digital contents provide any researcher with an almost unlimited flow of information, furthermore "internet has set the stage for anyone to become an author being his own publisher". Thus, there has been an exponential proliferation of non-printed media. It is enough to check the growing project 'Archizines' which selects and files magazines, newspapers and independent fanzines published throughout the world since the year 2000, being an alternative "to the establishment of architectural press". Most of them, specially the most recent ones, have a strictly digital origin against those who appear to complete a previously printed version. However, the on-line ones paradoxically maintain residues of the printed ones in their design, mainly to allow for later printing, whether it is for free or with a fee, 'self service' or 'print on-demand'. We shall not be captivated by the phenomenon's immediacy and abundance. The atomization of messages, the need to find one's expression and become a publisher is not something new. The means that allow it are. Beatriz Colomina reminds us about the emergence of new publishing means, small independent architectural periodicals that appeared during the 60s and 70s. The apparition of new printing technologies, without the need to specialize and with a relative low cost, was crucial for everyone to be able to publish their own magazine. In the current economic context these means -low cost and accessibility- might be more important than conscious publishing decisions, but truth is that the there is a constant increase of printed magazines evolving to digital and brand new digital ones. On the other hand, the net offers many possibilities for alternative publishing manners, such as 'bottom-up', from base to the top based on crowd sourcing where anyone can add contents overseen by a publisher. The 'academic' or 'scientific' magazine (or book) has however its own peculiarities, as well as several mechanisms to ensure the orthodoxy and quality of its contents. But this debate renders futile since nothing prevents us to resort to these mechanisms in a digital realm as it does happen. Perhaps what is arguable is measuring the quality of a magazine or books through its '*impact factor*' as done today, based on the number of times it is quoted or if it should be considered the number of downloads or visits to websites where it has been published previously or afterwards. Back to the interview, the question about the future of academic press is answered towards the end. These "will stand as long as they are capable of providing added value to authors and readers, and have the support of institutions. Today and in the near future we will see new models for the academic press including crowd funded and sourced global schemes to develop and spread quality research throughout the whole world". MIT Press director believes the future lies in the capability to preserve and provide a quicker and broader access to quality research and knowledge. European policies, however, are not proposing 'if' but 'how' to reach the goal of providing open and free access to the scientific information backed by public funding -specially through academic press- until 2020. Faced by a future we cannot foretell, we must continue promoting debate and reflection, and at the same time turn to Romano Guardini, for example. In 1948 he gave a lecture published three years later. In the preface to In Praise of the Book, we read: I had written a lot and was ready to design the discourse: back in the early post-war years good books where scarce and the ones available where weak. Today everything is different. Many good and important things are available again and we have the right to expect them to be done right. However, some have understood that having books is not something obvious; and it is enough to look towards the close East to realize how being able to freely access books is a signal for the defence of human dignity. We thus have enough arguments to consider what we Can watch over in them and perhaps is sometimes overlooked. (Now understand 'Book' in the broadest sense of the printed media parallel to the current media). Well, in short, little objection can be raised to the above reflections in the interview of The Chronicle, at least with regard to the focus on the quality of any research that should include the kind of magazines we are discussing. Perhaps this is the 'added value' to be pursued, well ahead of other elements that can always be interpreted as circumstantial or changing. And although it is true that to facilitate 'fast and widespread' access, even beyond the inner academic circles, as well as the support and collaboration between institutions are some of the characteristics of academic research, at least that of give the reader the best possible academic research in our fields of editorial interest is the firm commitment of Ra, Revista de Arquitectura, which is not exhausted in these very brief considerations or in the pages that follow.

However, the way in which they are used, for instance concerning the study or journal types analyzed, can markedly interfere with estimate reliability. This study aimed to analyze the citation distribution pattern in three Brazilian journals of general medicine. DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a descriptive study based on numbers of citations of scientific studies published by three Brazilian journals of general medicine. METHODS: The journals analyzed were Sao Paulo Medical Journal, Clinics and Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira. This survey used data available from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) platform, from which the total number of papers published in each journal in 2007-2008 and the number of citations of these papers in 2009 were obtained. From these data, the citation distribution was derived and journal impact factors (average number of citations) were estimated. These factors were then compared with those directly available from the ISI Journal of Citation Reports (JCR). RESULTS: Respectively, 134, 203 and 192 papers were published by these journals during the period analyzed. The observed citation distributions were highly skewed, such that many papers had few citations and a small percentage had many citations. It was not possible to identify any specific pattern for the most cited papers or to exactly reproduce the JCR impact factors. CONCLUSION: Use of measures like "impact factors", which characterize citations through averages, does not adequately represent the citation distribution in the journals analyzed.

The content of Suicide and Life- Threatening Behavior (SLTB) citation classics is described here. The impact of SLTB citation classics is compared to their counterparts in journals having published the most suicide papers. All data are from the ISI electronic venue on the Web of Science and refer to the number of citations the top 1% of works received in each of ten journals from 1975 through August 10, 2011. Among all ten journals, SLTB ranked first in the number of works on suicide. The principle theme of half of SLTB suicide classics was literature review. The median number of citations for SLTB citation classics (top 1%) was 121.5, with a range between 96 and 279 citations, but classics from generalized psychiatric journals received more citations as anticipated. Journal impact factors explained 73% of the variance in classics citation counts across journals. On average, suicide classics received 30% more citations than all classics. Among a second group of five specialized suicide journals, however, SLTB ranked first in average 5-year impact. Although SLTB produced the highest number of suicide articles of any journal, SLTBs citation classics received fewer citations than suicide classics in high-impact/prestige, general journals. Future work is needed to assess what predicts which SLTB articles ultimately become citation classics.

We define those with NIF a parts per thousand yenaEuro parts per thousand 1 as scientific leaders because they influence their peers at least as much as they are influenced by them. The NIF has two outstanding characteristics: (a) it has a clear and universal meaning and (b) it is robust against self-citation misuse. We show how a single lognormal function obtained from a simplified version of the NIF leads to a clear "radiography" of the corresponding scientific community. An illustrative application analyzes a community derived from the list of outstanding referees recognized by the American Physical Society in 2008.

In particular, the review examines studies focused on selective attention's role in modulating the influence of distraction and the methods used to capture the nature of selective attention. Special attention is given to classic articles by Treisman (1964a, 1964b), Neisser (1963), and Eriksen and Rohrbaugh (1970), whose methods and results are examined in detail in light of current theory and research in selective attention.

Stanley Hall during what Edwin G. Boring (1950) called the Period of Mental Chronometry and, consistent with the prevailing interests of the time, featured articles of relevance to scientists in this research domain. Contained in the early volumes of AJP were several articles that examined what have become some of the enduring issues faced by researchers studying the structure and timing of mental processing using reaction time (RT) procedures. Collectively, RT research published in AJP during its early years contributed to establishing mental chronometry as an important subfield of psychology. From 1900 to 1950 interest in mental chronometry waned, during what has been called its Dark Age. Nonetheless, interest in the effects of factors such as age and intelligence on total RI continued unabated. Numerous articles pertinent to these effects appeared in AJP. Finally, with the publication of Neisser's (1963) s! eminal work on visual search, AJP played an important role in reviving interest in mental chronometry in the latter half of the 20th century and continues in its 125th year of existence to contribute pertinent articles on contemporary research in mental chronometry.

Method: Descriptive bibliometric study of the original articles. Full names of the authors and the complete article title were recorded. Using key words, each article was assigned by consensus of the researchers to a single main subject in accordance with the thirteen subject areas addressed by the Spanish Society of Bromatology in its meetings. An analysis was conducted of the distribution and trends of general productivity indicators and their characteristics. Results: A total of 917 original articles were published, with a mean of 20.8 papers/year. The subjects for which the highest percentage of articles was recorded were foreign substances in foods, foods of plant origin and nutrition. A total of 874 authors contributed, with a collaboration rate of 2.43 and a transience rate of 70.1%. Distribution of the number of authors per article was close to that indicated by Lotka's law of scientific productivity. The top twelve producers, predominantly women, participated in 49.9% of the articles published. Conclusion: The journal showed low productivity and was of an endogamous nature, with a predominance of authors related to the School of Bromatology in the Faculty of Pharmacy, at the Complutense University. The subjects addressed reflected the demands of the nutrition transition in Spain.

Method: Searches were conducted with the descriptor (MeSH, as Major Topic) "Fatty Acids, Omega-3" from the first date available until December 31, 2010. Databases consulted: MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, IS! Web of Knowledge, CINAHL and LILACS. Results: The most common type of document was originals articles. Obsolescence was set at 5 years. The geographical distribution of authors who appear as first author was EEUU and the articles were written predominantly in English. The study population was 90.98% (95% CI 89.25 to 92.71) adult humans. The documents were classified into 59 subject areas and the most studied topic 16.24% (95% CI 14.4 to 18.04) associated with omega-3, was cardiovascular disease. Conclusion: This study indicates that the scientific literature on omega-3 fatty acids is a full force area of knowledge. The Anglo-Saxon institutions dominate the scientific production and it is mainly oriented to the study of cardiovascular disease.

We have witnessed an important development of the specific opportunities for the nutritional sciences in terms of quality and quantity in the XXIst century.

Three more ibero latin American journals have been incorporated to JCR in the XXIst century, Nutricion Hospitalaria (Nutr Hosp, ISSN 0212-1611) in 2006, Revista de Nutricao (Rev Nutr, ISSN 1415-5273) and Revista Espanola de Nutricion Comunitaria (Rev Esp Nutr Comunit, ISSN 1135-3074) in 2007. The four journals are having a growing importance in other electronic platforms, rendering an important service to the scientific society, not only in their environment, but also in the rest of the world. Although English language dominates scientific communications, the critical mass of already existing journals in Spanish and the area of influence of this language is a good stimulus for continuing its utilization.

We exhibit compelling evidence regarding how well the MaxEnt principle describes the equilibrium distributions. We show that the microscopic dynamics that governs population growth is the deciding factor that originates the observed macroscopic distributions. The connection between microscopic dynamics and macroscopic distributions is unravelled via MaxEnt.

We emphasize estimation of a switching point between the body of the city size distribution (which includes most cities) and its upper tail (which includes most of the population). For the 2000 Census Places data, in particular, our preferred model suggests that switching from a lognormal to a Pareto law occurs within a narrow confidence interval around population 60,290, with a corresponding Pareto exponent of 1.25. Most cities obey a lognormal; but the upper tail and therefore most of the population obeys a Pareto law. We obtain qualitatively similar results for the upper tail with the Area Clusters data of Rozenfeld et al. (2011), and the US Census combined Metropolitan and Micropolitan Areas data, though the shape of that distribution at smaller sizes is sensitive to the definition used. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Source: NUTRICION HOSPITALARIA, 27 26-33; 2 10.3305/nh.2012.27.sup2.6270 NOV 2012 Language: Spanish Abstract: Introduction: Research is usually considered a reliable indicator of the degree of development. Research in a problematic area such as food and nutrition for a given region, should have an impact on scientific production in agreement with the importance of the problem, the research capacity and the available resources for generating such a research. Objective: To identify some indicators of Iberoamerican research in nutrition and food. Method: Retrospective study of Iberoamerican scientific production in nutrition and food in the last 25 years. The data were obtained from the *bibliographic* database Science Citation Index Expanded, Journal Citation Reports Science Edition Database 2011, both included in the Web of Knowledge (Thomson Reuters), and the database of the World Bank. Results: 49,808 papers were registered, the 3.20% of the Health Sciences collection in SCI. The evolution was fitted to an exponential model, N&D (R-2 0.962) and FS&T (R-2 0.995). The average production in N&D per average population was higher in Spain with 0.659 papers/million. The highest rates of productivity and profitability were found in Guatemala with 12.963 papers/1000 researchers and 1.486 papers/million $ respectively. The average production in FS&T of the different countries per average population was higher in Cuba with 21.624 papers/million. The productivity index was higher in Uruguay with 25.999 papers/thousand researchers. The profitability index was higher in Guatemala with 0.271 papers/million $. Conclusion: There is exponential growth in the two categories studied N&D and FS&T. Productivity and profitability was higher in countries with low R&D (Research & Development) budget.

It is a young journal, and bibliometric analyses can provide insights into its citation and performance pattern. Findings can be used to devise approaches to improve performance for young journals in general. Our analysis includeds the publication's output, distribution of authors' keywords, and performances of countries, institutions, and authors. Bibliometric indicators such as total, single, collaborative, first author, and corresponding author publications were applied. The top-cited publications each year and publications of the highest impact also are reported. Results show that "heavy metals" were the most frequently used author keywords, followed by "soil" and "cadmium" Authors from 54 different countries published in the journal, with the most publications submitted by authors from Poland. Two Polish institutions, Technical University of Gdansk and Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, were the main contributing institutions.

DEC 2012. p.332-343 OXFORD UNIV PRESS, OXFORD SEARCH TERM(S): PRICE DJD rauth KEYWORDS: long-term impact; research; Framework Programme; R&D ABSTRACT: Despite a large and growing effort in the evaluation of public R&D funding programmes, we know surprisingly little about their long-term effects. This is a pity, because the conventional justifications for state intervention in research depend upon phenomena such as the production and use of public goods, knowledge, spillovers, the production of human capital, and systemic changes that are inherently long term in nature. The few available long-term studies demonstrate that the time constants involved are indeed very big. However, the way public policy is governed and managed pushes us to evaluate in the short term: trying to explain or somehow to 'measure' the effects of programmes that may not be complete and whose effects may not even be expected until some time in the future. An earlier article considered what the existing evaluation record tells us about Framework Programme performance, pointing out the short-term orientation of the evaluation techniques used and the correspondingly limited perspective they provide on impacts. This article reports newer work to explore longer term effects and emphasizes the role of the Framework Programme in coordinating the development of the European innovation system. Thus while traditional studies of long- term effects of research emphasize the links between new knowledge and innovation, a more systemic approach points to the role of funding not only in these aspects but also in the social shaping of the research and innovation system.

JAN 1 2013. p.23-28 ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, NEW YORK SEARCH TERM(S): JOURNAL item_title KEYWORDS+: LOTKAS LAW; PRODUCTIVITY; PATTERNS; EVOLUTION; SCIENCE; PERIOD ABSTRACT: Purpose: Publication analysis has value in evaluating the mechanics of academic efforts in specific scientific communities. The specific aim of this study was to evaluate whether established bibliometric patterns seen in other academic fields were likewise observed in radiation oncology publication parameters. Methods and Materials: We used a commercial bibliographic database to analyze all publications in Red Journal, or International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics (IJROBP), the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO), and Radiology (Rad) between January 1, 1975 and May 18, 2011. Power-law (Lotka's law or 1/n(2)) conformance was assessed. Curve fit analysis was then performed. Results: In all 4 journals, a total of 219,476 authors were responsible for 62,232 articles. Of those, 79,810 authors published 13,772 articles in IJROBP, with 79,446/16,707 authors/articles in NEJM, 106,984/11,920 authors/articles in JCO and 90,325/19,745 authors/articles in Rad. The mean +/- standard deviation of authors per publication was 5.74 +/- 4.61 overall. There were 5.8 +/- 3.53, 4.8 +/- 5.7, 8.9 +/- 3.53, and 4.6 +/- 2.8 authors per article in IJROBP, NEJM, JCO, and Rad, respectively (P<.001). The number of authors publishing n articles was 1/n(2.02) of those publishing 1 article in IJROBP, 1/n(2.52) in NEJM, 1/n(1.97) in JCO, and 1/n(2.16) in Rad. Conclusions: Bibliometric analysis shows that authorship distributions in IJROBP approximate those of the scientific literature in comparable scientific journals. Our results suggest that the majority of publications in the field of radiation oncology are produced by a small but highly productive group of authors. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

In particular, journal relatedness data are used to analyze some of the structural features of their disciplinary identities and relationships. The results first show that, although the history of science is more than half a century older than STS, the size of the STS network is more than twice that of the history of science network. Further, while a majority of the journals in the STS network are connected by weak ties, about half of the history of science network consists of strong ties. The history of science network is thus more cohesive than the STS network. The relatively strong cohesion within the history of science network is associated with comparatively high degrees of intra-disciplinary communication, but comparatively weak ties to only a few related disciplines. The analysis also shows that very few members of the history of science cliques are situated on the shortest path between both specialties. Moreover, given the relatively impermeable nature of the history of science network, the latter partially depends on STS to reach some of the neighboring disciplines.

A Diffusion Model (Article, English) AUTHOR: Braun, D SOURCE: MINERVA 50 (4). DEC 2012. p.471-491 SPRINGER, DORDRECHT SEARCH TERM(S): PRICE DJD rauth KEYWORDS: Scientific innovation; Theory; Diffusion ABSTRACT: This article improves our understanding of the reasons underlying the intellectual migration of scientists from existing cognitive domains to nascent scientific fields. To that purpose we present, first, a number of findings from the sociology of science that give different insights about scientific migration. We then attempt to bring some of these insights together under the conceptual roof of an actor-based approach linking expected utility and diffusion theory. Intellectual migration is seen as the choice of scientists who decide under uncertainty and on the base of estimations about probabilities, costs, and benefits of the migration. The resulting choice model can be used as a heuristic base for further exploration of the subject.

JUL 17 2012. p.NIL_1-NIL_10 BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, LONDON KEYWORDS: impact; open access; peer review; scientific publishing KEYWORDS+: SCIENCE; SCOPUS ABSTRACT: Background: In the past few years there has been an ongoing debate as to whether the proliferation of open access (OA) publishing would damage the peer review system and put the quality of scientific journal publishing at risk. Our aim was to inform this debate by comparing the scientific impact of OA journals with subscription journals, controlling for journal age, the country of the publisher, discipline and (for OA publishers) their business model. Methods: The 2-year impact factors (the average number of citations to the articles in a journal) were used as a proxy for scientific impact. The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) was used to identify OA journals as well as their business model. Journal age and discipline were obtained from the Ulrich's periodicals directory. Comparisons were performed on the journal level as well as on the article level where the results were weighted by the number of articles published in a journal. A total of 610 OA journals were compared with 7,609 subscription journals using Web of Science citation data while an overlapping set of 1,327 OA journals were compared with 11,124 subscription journals using Scopus data. Results: Overall, average citation rates, both unweighted and weighted for the number of articles per journal, were about 30% higher for subscription journals. However, after controlling for discipline (medicine and health versus other), age of the journal (three time periods) and the location of the publisher (four largest publishing countries versus other countries) the differences largely disappeared in most subcategories except for journals that had been launched prior to 1996. OA journals that fund publishing with article processing charges (APCs) are on average cited more than other OA journals. In medicine and health, OA journals founded in the last 10 years are receiving about as many citations as subscription journals launched during the same period. Conclusions: Our results indicate that OA journals indexed in Web of Science and/or Scopus are approaching the same scientific impact and quality as subscription journals, particularly in biomedicine and for journals funded by article processing charges.

This study aimed to describe change trend of impact factors in different subspecialties of internal medicine during the past 12 years, as well as the developmental differences among each subspecialty, and the possible influencing factors behind these changes and differences. Methods: Nine subspecialties of internal medicine were chosen for comparison. All data were collected from the Science Citation Index Expanded and Journal Citation Reports database. Results: (1) Journal numbers in nine subspecialties increased significantly from 1998 to 2010, with an average increment of 80.23%, in which cardiac and cardiovascular system diseases increased 131.2% rank the first; hematology increased 45% rank the least. (2) Impact Factor in subspecialties of infectious disease, cardiac and cardiovascular system diseases, gastroenterology and hepatology, hematology, endocrinology and metabolism increased significantly (p<0.05), in which gastroenterology and hepatology had the largest increase of 65.4%. (3) Journal impact factor of 0-2 had the largest proportion in all subspecialties. Among the journals with high impact factor (IF>6), hematology had the maximum proportion of 10%, nephrology and respiratory system disease had the minimum of 4%. Among the journal with low impact factor (IF<2), journal in nephrology and allergy had the most (60%), while endocrinology and metabolism had the least (40%). There were differences in median number of IF among the different subspecialties (p<0.05), in which endocrinology and metabolism had the highest, nephrology had the lowest. (4) The highest IF had a correlation with journal numbers and total paper numbers in each field. Conclusion: The IF of internal medicine journals showed an increasingly positive trend, in which gastroenterology and hepatology increase the most. Hematology had more high IF journals. Endocrinology and metabolism had higher average IF. Nephrology remained the lowest position. Numbers of journals and total papers were associated with the highest IF.

The GWAS philosophy is different to that of conventional candidate-gene-based approaches, which directly test the effects of genetic variants of potentially contributory genes in an association study. One controversial question is whether GWAS provide relevant scientific outcomes by comparison with candidate-gene studies. We thus performed a bibliometric study using two citation metrics to assess whether the GWAS have contributed a capital gain in knowledge discovery by comparison with candidate-gene approaches. We selected GWAS published between 2005 and 2009 and matched them with candidate-gene studies on the same topic and published in the same period of time. We observed that the GWAS papers have received, on average, 30 +/- 55 citations more than the candidate gene papers, 1 year after their publication date, and 39 +/- 58 citations more 2 years after their publication date. The GWAS papers were, on average, 2.8 +/- 2.4 and 2.9 +/- 2.4 times more cited than expected, 1 and 2 years after their publication date; whereas the candidate gene papers were 1.5 +/- 1.2 and 1.5 +/- 1.4 times more cited than expected. While the evaluation of the contribution to scientific research through citation metrics may be challenged, it cannot be denied that GWAS are great hypothesis generators, and are a powerful complement to candidate gene studies.

Our studies shows that there are positive correlation of PF with IF (r=0.313, P=0.000) and 5-IF (r=0.298, P=0.000). According to the levels of journals' PF, the journals were divided into four groups. The journals with PF from 1 to 5 were divided into group I, t hat from 6 to 11, 12 to 23, 24 to 58 were divided into group II, group III and group IV, respectively. The IF of the journals in group I were 1.94 +/- 1.71, 2.16 +/- 4.30 in group II, 3.17 +/- 2.93 in group III, and 8.00 +/- 9.68 in group IV, respectively. The 5-IF of the journals in group I were 2.080 +/- 1.668, 2.194 +/- 3.046 in group II, 3.253 +/- 3.045 in group III, and 8.00 +/- 10.015 in group IV, respectively. With comparison of mean ranks of IF and 5-IF among four groups with different PF, we had found that the higher the PF the higher the IF (H=114.075, P=0.000) and 5-IF (H=102.796, P=0.000). From 2006 to 2008, PF increased at various degrees in 22 journals, of which the total citation increased too, and just 18 journals of which IF increased. After PF increased in 22 journals, IF and 5-year IF were obviously higher than those before PF increased (Z=2.386, P=0.017; Z=4.015, P=0.000). We concluded that the IF and 5-IF are increased with the increasing of journals' PF. The mechanism of the positive correlation between IF and PF are discussed.

The experiences discussed involve the aims and missions of the TCI towards improving the quality and increasing the visibility of local and national research findings. The impacts of the TCI on the academic community are also described, together with the challenges faced in regard to its acceptability, especially by internationally oriented researchers. Various TCI activities to promote and disseminate national research findings are discussed, such as a quality assessment program for Thai journals indexed in TCI, awarding high-quality Thai journals, launching the Thai Journal Online (Thai-JO) system, and identification and comparison of local research performances using TCI and international databases as data sources. Finally, the ASEAN Citation Index (ACI) database is introduced, as part of the preparation for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in conjunction with the TCI and other national citation index databases, in order to enhance the dissemination and quality of ASEAN research profiles on an international platform.

The Scopus Citation Database has been used to retrieve the publication data for 10 years. The study concludes that Sri Lanka needs to increase its output and bring about improvement in the quality of its research efforts. This can be done by investing much more in research and development (R&D) expenditure, increase in the deployment of more qualified manpower and international collaboration; and by modernizing and strengthening its research infrastructure.

DEC 2012. p.67-72 UNIV MALAYA, FAC COMPUTER SCIENCE & INFORMATION TECH, KUALA LUMPUR SEARCH TERM(S): HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005; GARFIELD E AM DOC 14:195 1963 KEYWORDS: Knowledge diffusion; Diffusion index; Tapered indicator; Citation analysis KEYWORDS+: KNOWLEDGE DIFFUSION; CITATIONS; OUTPUT; INDEX ABSTRACT: We introduce an indicator (D-T) to measure the diffusion impact of scientific research. The indicator focuses on the variety of citing sources by giving a full credit when a new citing source makes an appearance, and a tapered credit when a new citing paper appears in an already used existed source. As a preliminary study, we only used a simple example with individual journals as the diffusion units. A sample from a highly interdisciplinary journal, Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, is used to illustrate this procedure. From the theoretical analysis and experimental examples, the DT index proved an efficient function for differentiating the scope of citation diffusion.

DEC 2012. p.73-93 UNIV MALAYA, FAC COMPUTER SCIENCE & INFORMATION TECH, KUALA LUMPUR KEYWORDS: Social Network Analysis; Co-authorship collaborative network; Centrality measures; Degree centrality; Closeness centrality; Betweenness centrality KEYWORDS+: SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION; SOCIAL NETWORKS; SCIENCE ABSTRACT: This paper examines the co-authorship network in the field of scientometrics using social network analysis techniques with the aim of developing an understanding of research collaboration in this scientific community. Using co-authorship data from 3125 articles published in the journal Scientometrics with a time span of more than three decades (1980-2012), we construct an evolving co-authorship network and calculate three centrality measures (closeness, betweenness, and degree) for 3024 authors, 1207 institutions, 68 countries and 22 academic fields in this network. This paper also discusses the usability of centrality measures in author ranking, and suggests that centrality measures can be useful indicators for impact analysis. Findings revealed that scientometrics was not dominated by a couple of key researchers as quite a significant number of popular researchers were identified. The United States occupies the topmost position in all measures except for degree centrality. The most active, central and collaborative academic discipline in scientometrics is Information & Library Science.

The present research was designed to evaluate the global scientific outputs in the Institute of Scientific Information subject category of "nitrate removal" for the past 20 years, based on the online version of the Science Citation Index Expanded, Web of Science, from 1991 to 2010. Articles related to nitrate removal were assessed from the aspect of distributions of source countries, institutes, the distributions of words in the title, author keywords, and KeyWords Plus. The new method named "word cluster analysis" was also employed to further investigate the research status on nitrate removal. Three categories including removal field, removal methods, and product were also introduced to analyze the research trends in nitrate removal. The results showed that researchers paid most attention to "soil" and "water" in the removal field. "Denitrification" possessed the largest percentage among the removal methods, indicating that biological means were dominated for nitrate removal. Moreover, "nitrogen" as the ideal product of nitrate removal was the most predominant among the product, which was the goal of the technique for nitrate removal. The impacts of the most cited articles each year were also discussed with the article life information.

Obtaining the ticket to success is beyond quantity, which can be measured; it is related to more intangible terms such as excellence and quality. Research assessment exercises are now here to stay, and they test not only those who wish to jump on board, but also their baggage, and ultimately whether their boat stays afloat or sinks. Qualitative assessment is a much maligned exercise which has to evaluate and balance criteria measured in terms of: originality, thematic diversity, innovation, sustainability, multi-disciplinary research, benefits, and impact. This article departs from a study of some Spanish evaluating agencies-also making reference when possible to their European equivalent and their assessment criteria. After drafting a list of merits listed in each agency the article poses some basic questions regarding assessment. It then goes into the nature of assessment criteria and offers concrete data on Translation and Interpreting Studies journal indexing. The paper concludes with some general comments and recommendations, which are valid across Europe.

The visibility of Serbian scientific journals in the citation database Web of Science has risen significantly in the last decade. Results of this analysis show the presence of Serbian journals in Web of Science, JCR, Scopus and Serbian Citation Index (SCIndeks) during four years (2007 to 2010). The paper discusses different bibliometric parameters in Web of Science. JCR and the Scopus portal SCImago (citations, average citations/year, impact factor, Hirsch index) for Serbian journals. Bibliometric indicators that appear in the National Citation Index are also analyzed. The number of Serbian journals with impact factor has increased during the observed period. The impact of Serbian publishers rose remarkably in 2010, and Serbia has two highly ranked journals.

Between 40 and 50 countries appear in the center of the international network in 2011, and almost all (201) nations are nowadays involved in international collaboration. In this brief communication, we present both a global map with the functionality of a Google Map (zooming, etc.) and network maps based on normalized relations. These maps reveal complementary aspects of the network. International collaboration in the generation of knowledge claims (that is, the context of discovery) changes the structural layering of the sciences. Previously, validation was at the global level and discovery more dependent on local contexts. This changing relationship between the geographical and intellectual dimensions of the sciences also has implications for national science policies.

The disciplinary diversity of a downloaded set is measured in terms of this map using Rao-Stirling's "quadratic entropy." Since this indicator of interdisciplinarity is normalized between zero and one, the interdisciplinarity of document sets can be compared among one another and across years, both cited and citing. The colors used for the overlays are based on Blondel et al.'s (2008) community-finding algorithms operating on the 10,000+ journals included in JCRs. The results can be exported from VOSViewer with different options such as proportional labels, heat maps, or cluster density maps. The maps can also be web-started and/or animated (e.g., using PowerPoint). The "citing" dimension of the aggregated journal-journal citation matrix was found to provide a more comprehensive description than the matrix based on the cited archive. The relations between local and global maps and their different functions in studying the sciences in terms of journal literatures are further discussed: local and global maps will be based on different (analytical) assumptions and can be expected to serve different purposes for the explanation.

The seminar will feature video of the speakers as well as presentations, and interaction will be encouraged via Twitter and webinar comments. We hope that this novel format will maximise engagement and pedagogy. Attendance is free but registration is required as space is limited. Collaborative platforms and social networking websites are becoming popular with scientists and researchers around the world: scholars can connect between institutions, countries and disciplines easily and faster than ever before. "The Individual and Scholarly Networks" will explore two aspects of this phenomenon; firstly, how the connections are forming, and how attitudes may change to adapt to the new environment, and, secondly, how connections can be evaluated, nuanced and measured. The event will be split into these two independent segments: * Part 1: Building Networks | 8:00-10:00 EST / 13:00-15:00 GMT This session will focus on the ways in which these relationships are formed and maintained, and how they are changing the nature of scholarly relationships. * Part 2: Evaluating Network Relationships | 10:30-12:30 EST / 15:30-17:30 GMT Altmetrics is one of the most explosive areas of interest in bibliometric analysis and is increasing in importance. This session will explore the related areas of altmetrics, contributorship and the culture of reference. We have gathered some of the most insightful and engaging thinkers in academia and the scholarly environment, including: * Dr William Gunn, Head of Academic Outreach, Mendeley * Professor Jeremy Frey, Head of Physical Chemistry, Southampton University * Dr Heather Piwowar, Postdoc at Duke University, ImpactStory * Gregg Gordon, President and CEO, Social Science Research Network * Dr Gudmundur Thorisson, Research Associate, University of Leicester * Ms Kelli Barr, Graduate Research Assistant, Center for Study of Interdisciplinarity, University of North Texas Information and updates about the event can be found at http://www.researchtrends.com/virtualseminar/.

Bal?zs Lengyel, Tam?s Sebesty?n, and Loet Leydesdorff Using new techniques of data collection and mapping as overlays to Google Maps -- on the basis of patent information available online at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office -- we shed light on the problem of patenting in Central-Eastern Europe (CEE). Comparison with Germany and the Netherlands shows that patenting on competitive markets such as the USA has lagged. In the former GDR (East Germany), some agglomerations managed to put themselves on the map, but this pattern cannot be found in other CEE countries. Our methods allow for distribution analysis at the city level. The results suggest that in addition to a huge lag in patenting, the distribution of these activities is more concentrated in post-socialist territories than in western nations and regions. Successful inventions and patents with high citation rates are often based on subcontracts of multinationals with headquarters in the West.

Participation in the conference is limited, so register[1] early! About the conference: Scholarly communication across all disciplines is changing profoundly under the influence of new technologies. New models, tools and standards are being developed that aim to enhance, enable or entirely replace formerly ingrained forms of scholarly communication, including publications, courses, conferences and policy. The Beyond the PDF conference brings together scholars, librarians, archivists, publishers and research funders in a lively forum, not just to broaden awareness of current efforts across disciplines, but to define the future through discussions, challenge projects, demonstrations and seeding new partnerships and collaborations. Individually and collectively, we aim to bring about a change in modern scholarly communications through the effective use of information technology. Beyond the PDF is organized by FORCE11 [2], a group of stakeholders that arose organically from the first Beyond the PDF workshop[3], held at the University of California, San Diego, in 2011, and a follow on workshop held at Dagstuhl that same year. FORCE11 and the Beyond the PDF conference are supported by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. A preliminary program is available. (http://www.force11.org/program) Sessions include: -New models for content creation: text, data and multimedia -New models for content dissemination and review -New models for evaluation -Making the business case for new scholarly communications approaches -Making it happen -The future: Visions/technologies/tools Register early as space is limited!

We thought this paper, which appeared today in Nature Sci. Rep., might be of interest: Social Dynamics of Science by Xiaoling Sun et al. Scientific Reports 3, Article number: 1069 doi:10.1038/srep01069 http://www.nature.com/srep/2013/130115/srep01069/full/srep01069.html The birth and decline of disciplines are critical to science and society. How do scientific disciplines emerge? No quantitative model to date allows us to validate competing theories on the different roles of endogenous processes, such as social collaborations, and exogenous events, such as scientific discoveries. Here we propose an agent-based model in which the evolution of disciplines is guided mainly by social interactions among agents representing scientists. Disciplines emerge from splitting and merging of social communities in a collaboration network. We find that this social model can account for a number of stylized facts about the relationships between disciplines, scholars, and publications. These results provide strong quantitative support for the key role of social interactions in shaping the dynamics of science. While several ?science of science? theories exist, this is the first account for the emergence of disciplines that is validated on the basis of empirical data.

The seminar will feature video of the speakers as well as presentations, and interaction will be encouraged via Twitter and webinar comments. We hope that this novel format will maximise engagement and pedagogy. Attendance is free but registration is required as space is limited. Collaborative platforms and social networking websites are becoming popular with scientists and researchers around the world: scholars can connect between institutions, countries and disciplines easily and faster than ever before. "The Individual and Scholarly Networks" will explore two aspects of this phenomenon; firstly, how the connections are forming, and how attitudes may change to adapt to the new environment, and, secondly, how connections can be evaluated, nuanced and measured. The event will be split into these two independent segments: * Part 1: Building Networks | 8:00-10:00 EST / 13:00-15:00 GMT This session will focus on the ways in which these relationships are formed and maintained, and how they are changing the nature of scholarly relationships. * Part 2: Evaluating Network Relationships | 10:30-12:30 EST / 15:30-17:30 GMT Altmetrics is one of the most explosive areas of interest in bibliometric analysis and is increasing in importance.

Title: International collaboration clusters in Africa Authors: Jonathan Adams, Karen Gurney, Daniel Hook and Loet Leydesdorff Recent discussion about the increase in international research collaboration suggests a comprehensive global network centred around a group of core countries and driven by generic socio-economic factors where the global system influences all national and institutional outcomes. In counterpoint, we demonstrate that the collaboration pattern for countries in Africa is far from universal. Instead, it exhibits layers of internal clusters and external links that are explained not by monotypic global influences but by regional geography and, perhaps even more strongly, by history, culture and language.

Our studies shows that there are positive correlation of PF with IF (r=0.313, P=0.000) and 5-IF (r=0.298, P=0.000). According to the levels of journals' PF, the journals were divided into four groups. The journals with PF from 1 to 5 were divided into group I, t hat from 6 to 11, 12 to 23, 24 to 58 were divided into group II, group III and group IV, respectively. The IF of the journals in group I were 1.94 +/- 1.71, 2.16 +/- 4.30 in group II, 3.17 +/- 2.93 in group III, and 8.00 +/- 9.68 in group IV, respectively. The 5-IF of the journals in group I were 2.080 +/- 1.668, 2.194 +/- 3.046 in group II, 3.253 +/- 3.045 in group III, and 8.00 +/- 10.015 in group IV, respectively. With comparison of mean ranks of IF and 5-IF among four groups with different PF, we had found that the hig! her the PF the higher the IF (H=114.075, P=0.000) and 5-IF (H=102.796, P=0.000). From 2006 to 2008, PF increased at various degrees in 22 journals, of which the total citation increased too, and just 18 journals of which IF increased. After PF increased in 22 journals, IF and 5-year IF were obviously higher than those before PF increased (Z=2.386, P=0.017; Z=4.015, P=0.000). We concluded that the IF and 5-IF are increased with the increasing of journals' PF. The mechanism of the positive correlation between IF and PF are discussed.

Pulgarin on Lotka's law Authors: Egghe, L Author Full Names: Egghe, L. Source: MALAYSIAN JOURNAL OF LIBRARY & INFORMATION SCIENCE, 17 (3):1-5; DEC 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Lotka's law, Zipf's law, Scientometrics Abstract: In [A. Pulgarin. 2012. Dependence of Lotka's law parameters on the scientific area. Malaysian Journal of Library and Information Science, 17(1): 41-50], the author finds negative correlations between the average number of papers per author and the Lotka exponent and the Lotka constant as well as positive correlations between the latter two parameters. He also finds lower values for the latter two parameters in fields or countries with highly concentrated productions (e.g. where there is heavy growth). In the present paper these findings are proved mathematically, based on earlier results on Lotka's law proved by this author.

The GWAS philosophy is different to that of conventional candidate-gene-based approaches, which directly test the effects of genetic variants of potentially contributory genes in an association study. One controversial question is whether GWAS provide relevant scientific outcomes by comparison with candidate-gene studies. We thus performed a bibliometric study using two citation metrics to assess whether the GWAS have contributed a capital gain in knowledge discovery by comparison with candidate-gene approaches. We selected GWAS published between 2005 and 2009 and matched them with candidate-gene studies on the same topic and published in the same period of time. We observed that the GWAS papers have received, on average, 30 +/- 55 citations more than the candidate gene papers, 1 year af! ter their publication date, and 39 +/- 58 citations more 2 years after their publication date. The GWAS papers were, on average, 2.8 +/- 2.4 and 2.9 +/- 2.4 times more cited than expected, 1 and 2 years after their publication date; whereas the candidate gene papers were 1.5 +/- 1.2 and 1.5 +/- 1.4 times more cited than expected. While the evaluation of the contribution to scientific research through citation metrics may be challenged, it cannot be denied that GWAS are great hypothesis generators, and are a powerful complement to candidate gene studies. ======================================================================= Title: Co-authorship network of scientometrics research collaboration Authors: Erfanmanesh, M; Rohani, VA; Abrizah, A Author Full Names: Erfanmanesh, Mohammadamin; Rohani, Vala Ali; Abrizah, A. Source: MALAYSIAN JOURNAL OF LIBRARY & INFORMATION SCIENCE, 17 (3):73-93; DEC 2012 Language: English Abstract: This paper examines the co-authorship network in the field of scientometrics using social network analysis techniques with the aim of developing an understanding of research collaboration in this scientific community. Using co-authorship data from 3125 articles published in the journal Scientometrics with a time span of more than three decades (1980-2012), we construct an evolving co-authorship network and calculate three centrality measures (closeness, betweenness, and degree) for 3024 authors, 1207 institutions, 68 countries and 22 academic fields in this network. This paper also discusses the usability of centrality measures in author ranking, and suggests that centrality measures can be useful indicators for impact analysis. Findings revealed that scientometrics was not dominated by a couple of key researchers as quite a significant number of popular researchers were identified. The United States occupies the topmost position in all measures except for degree centrality.! The most active, central and collaborative academic discipline in scientometrics is Information & Library Science.

M. Source: MALAYSIAN JOURNAL OF LIBRARY & INFORMATION SCIENCE, 17 (3):49-65; DEC 2012 Language: English Abstract: This study analyses the research output of Sri Lanka in S&T during 2001-2010 on several parameters including its growth and global publications share, citation impact, share of international collaborative papers, contribution of major collaborative partner countries, contribution to various subject fields, geographical distribution of its papers, evaluation of the characteristics on its high productive institutions, authors and papers and the journals publishing the research output. The Scopus Citation Database has been used to retrieve the publication data for 10 years. The study concludes that Sri Lanka needs to increase its output and bring about improvement in the quality of its research efforts. This can be done by investing much more in research and development (R&D) expenditure, increase in the deployment of more qualified manpower and international collaboration; and by modernizing and strengthening its research infrastructure. ======================================================================= Title: Lies, damned lies ... and citation metrics Authors: Kiernan, MC Author Full Names: Kiernan, Matthew C.

The experiences discussed involve the aims and missions of the TCI towards improving the quality and increasing the visibility of local and national research findings. The impacts of the TCI on the academic community are also described, together with the challenges faced in regard to its acceptability, especially by internationally oriented researchers. Various TCI activities to promote and disseminate national research findings are discussed, such as a quality assessment program for Thai journals indexed in TCI, awarding high-quality Thai journals, launching the Thai Journal Online (Thai-JO) system, and identification and comparison of local research performances using TCI and international databases as data ! sources. Finally, the ASEAN Citation Index (ACI) database is introduced, as part of the preparation for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in conjunction with the TCI and other national citation index databases, in order to enhance the dissemination and quality of ASEAN research profiles on an international platform.

Our studies shows that there are positive correlation of PF with IF (r=0.313, P=0.000) and 5-IF (r=0.298, P=0.000). According to the levels of journals' PF, the journals were divided into four groups. The journals with PF from 1 to 5 were divided into group I, t hat from 6 to 11, 12 to 23, 24 to 58 were divided into group II, group III and group IV, respectively. The IF of the journals in group I were 1.94 +/- 1.71, 2.16 +/- 4.30 in group II, 3.17 +/- 2.93 in group III, and 8.00 +/- 9.68 in group IV, respectively. The 5-IF of the journals in group I were 2.080 +/- 1.668, 2.194 +/- 3.046 in group II, 3.253 +/- 3.045 in group III, and 8.00 +/- 10.015 in group IV, respectively. With comparison of mean ranks of IF and 5-IF among four groups with different PF, we had found that the higher ! the PF the higher the IF (H=114.075, P=0.000) and 5-IF (H=102.796, P=0.000). From 2006 to 2008, PF increased at various degrees in 22 journals, of which the total citation increased too, and just 18 journals of which IF increased. After PF increased in 22 journals, IF and 5-year IF were obviously higher than those before PF increased (Z=2.386, P=0.017; Z=4.015, P=0.000). We concluded that the IF and 5-IF are increased with the increasing of journals' PF. The mechanism of the positive correlation between IF and PF are discussed.

The indicator focuses on the variety of citing sources by giving a full credit when a new citing source makes an appearance, and a tapered credit when a new citing paper appears in an already used existed source. As a preliminary study, we only used a simple example with individual journals as the diffusion units. A sample from a highly interdisciplinary journal, Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, is used to illustrate this procedure. From the theoretical analysis and experimental examples, the DT index proved an efficient function for differentiating the scope of citation diffusion.

This study aimed to describe change trend of impact factors in different subspecialties of internal medicine during the past 12 years, as well as the developmental differences among each subspecialty, and the possible influencing factors behind these changes and differences. Methods: Nine subspecialties of internal medicine were chosen for comparison. All data were collected from the Science Citation Index Expanded and Journal Citation Reports database. Results: (1) Journal numbers in nine subspecialties increased significantly from 1998 to 2010, with an average increment of 80.23%, in which cardiac and cardiovascular system diseases increased 131.2% rank the first; hematology increased 45% rank the least. (2) Impact Factor in subspecialties of infectious disease, cardiac and cardiovascular system diseases, gastroenterology and hepatology, hematology, endocrinology and metabolism increased significantly (p<0.05), in which gastroenterology and hepatology had the largest increase of 65.4%. (3) Journal impact factor of 0-2 had the largest proportion in all subspecialties. Among the journals with high impact factor (IF>6), hematology had the maximum proportion of 10%, nephrology and respiratory system disease had the minimum of 4%. Among the journal with low impact factor (IF<2), journal in nephrology and allergy had the most (60%), while endocrinology and metabolism had the least (40%). There were differences in median number ! of IF among the different subspecialties (p<0.05), in which endocrinology and metabolism had the highest, nephrology had the lowest. (4) The highest IF had a correlation with journal numbers and total paper numbers in each field. Conclusion: The IF of internal medicine journals showed an increasingly positive trend, in which gastroenterology and hepatology increase the most. Hematology had more high IF journals.

Most of 38 patients (22 females and 16 males), average age of 58 (range 29-80), who returned diaries were starting chemotherapy for a range of cancers. Data entries were transcribed and entered into the NVIVO software to facilitate thematic analysis. Women wrote more, and more often than men, and disclosed more. For most, physical side effects dominated, comprising 25-75 % of diary entries. The most commonly mentioned were fatigue (74 %), pain (63 %), sleep disturbances (50 %), nausea (45 %) and changes in appetite (45 %). Collectively, 22 patients reported 261 separate emotional reactions including depression, anger, guilt, shame, grief, panic and confusion. The treatment environment, including personnel, impacted upon patients. Where survival is unpredictabl! e, evidence of consistency of practitioners' approaches attains heightened significance.

Our aim was to inform this debate by comparing the scientific impact of OA journals with subscription journals, controlling for journal age, the country of the publisher, discipline and (for OA publishers) their business model. Methods: The 2-year impact factors (the average number of citations to the articles in a journal) were used as a proxy for scientific impact. The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) was used to identify OA journals as well as their business model. Journal age and discipline were obtained from the Ulrich's periodicals directory. Comparisons were performed on the journal level as well as on the article level where the results were weighted by the number of articles published in a journal. A total of 610 OA journals were compared with 7,609 subscription journals using Web of Science citation data while an overlapping set of 1,327 OA journals were compared with 11,124 subscription journals using Scopus data. Results: Overall, average citation rates, both unweighted and weighted for the number of articles per journal, were about 30% higher for subscription journals. However, after controlling for discipline (medicine and health versus other), age of the journal (three time periods) and the location of the publisher (four largest publishing countries versus other countries) the differences largely disappeared in most subcategories except for journals that had been launched prior to 1996. OA journals that fund publishing with article processing charges (APCs) are on average cited more than other OA journals. In medicine and health, OA journals founded in the last 10 years are receiving about as many citations as subscription journals launched during the same period. Conclusions: Our results indicate that OA journals indexed in Web of Science and/or Scopus are approaching the same scientific impact and quality as subscription journals, particularly in biomedicine and for journals funded by article processing charges.

As a field, it has accumulated a significant amount of scientific knowledge. Based on bibliometric data from four major social science disciplineseconomics, sociology, psychology, and managementthis study presents a global view of the field by combining longitudinal and structural perspectives. It identifies major research traditions in the field, determines the content and disciplinary composition of each tradition, and maps the changes in the intellectual structure of the field over time. The study suggests that innovation research is becoming increasingly compartmentalized between economics and management disciplines and each segment is becoming increasingly self-contained. A strategy along with a framework is suggested for making research contribution to the field. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The Hirsch index (commonly referred to as h-index) is a bibliometric indicator which is widely recognized as effective for measuring the scientific production of a scholar since it summarizes size and impact of the research output. In a formal setting, the h-index is actually an empirical functional of the distribution of the citation counts received by the scholar. Under this approach, the asymptotic theory for the empirical h-index has been recently exploited when the citation counts follow a continuous distribution and, in particular, variance estimation has been considered for the Pareto-type and the Weibull-type distribution families. However, in bibliometric applications, citation counts display a distribution supported by the integers. Thus, we provide general properties for the empirical h-index under the small- and large-sample settings. In addition, we also introduce consistent non-parametric variance estimation, which allows for the implementation of large-sampl! e set estimation for the theoretical h-index.

In this complex scenario, one of the most crucial issues is the quality of data and the capability of bibliometric analysis to cope with multiple data dimensions. Although the problem of enforcing a multidimensional approach to the analysis and management of bibliographic data is not new, a reference design pattern and a specific conceptual model for multidimensional analysis of bibliographic data are still missing. In this paper, we discuss ten of the most relevant challenges for bibliometric analysis when dealing with multidimensional data, and we propose a reference data model that, according to different goals, can help analysis designers and bibliographic experts in working with large collections of bibliographic data.

The Introduction of a Normalized Impact Factor Authors: Matsas, GEA Author Full Names: Matsas, George E. A.

We define those with NIF a parts per thousand yenaEuro parts per thousand 1 as scientific leaders because they influence their peers at least as much as they are influenced by them. The NIF has two outstanding characteristics: (a) it has a clear and universal meaning and (b) it is robust against self-citation misuse. We show how a single lognormal function obtained from a simplified version of the NIF leads to a clear "radiography" of the corresponding scientific community. An illustrative application analyzes a community derived from the list of outstanding referees recognized by the American Physical Society in 2008.

Classification usually takes place at the level of journals, where the Web of Science subject categories are the most popular classification system. However, journal-level classification systems have two important limitations: They offer only a limited amount of detail, and they have difficulties with multidisciplinary journals. To avoid these limitations, we introduce a new methodology for constructing classification systems at the level of individual publications. In the proposed methodology, publications are clustered into research areas based on citation relations. The methodology is able to deal with very large numbers of publications. We present an application in which a classification system is produced that includes almost 10 million publications. Based on an extensive analysis of this classification system, we discuss the strengths and the limitations of t! he proposed methodology. Important strengths are the transparency and relative simplicity of the methodology and its fairly modest computing and memory requirements. The main limitation of the methodology is its exclusive reliance on direct citation relations between publications. The accuracy of the methodology can probably be increased by also taking into account other types of relationsfor instance, based on bibliographic coupling.

Authors: Costas, R; van Leeuwen, TN; Bordons, M Author Full Names: Costas, Rodrigo; van Leeuwen, Thed N.; Bordons, Maria Source: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 63 (12):2433-2450; 10.1002/asi.22662 DEC 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: bibliometrics, citation analysis, information use KeyWords Plus: BIBLIOMETRIC INDICATORS; CITATION PRACTICES; RESEARCH OUTPUT; SCIENCE; IMPACT; ARTICLES; PUBLICATIONS; BEHAVIOR; SCI; PERCENTAGE Abstract: This study presents an analysis of the use of bibliographic references by individual scientists in three different research areas. The number and type of references that scientists include in their papers are analyzed, the relationship between the number of references and different impact-based indicators is studied from a multivariable perspective, and the referencing patterns of scientists are related to individual factors such as their age and scientific performance. Our results show inter-area differences in the number, type, and age of references. Within each area, the number of references per document increases with journal impact factor and paper length. Top-performance scientists use in their papers a higher number of references, which are more recent and more frequently covered by the Web of Science. Veteran researchers tend to rely more on older literature and non-Web of Science sources. The longer reference lists of top scientists can be explained by their tendenc! y to publish in high impact factor journals, with stricter reference and reviewing requirements. Long reference lists suggest a broader knowledge on the current literature in a field, which is important to become a top scientist. From the perspective of the handicap principle theory, the sustained use of a high number of references in an author's oeuvre is a costly behavior that may indicate a serious, comprehensive, and solid research capacity, but that only the best researchers can afford. Boosting papers' citations by artificially increasing the number of references does not seem a feasible strategy.

The indicator focuses on the variety of citing sources by giving a full credit when a new citing source makes an appearance, and a tapered credit when a new citing paper appears in an already used existed source. As a preliminary study, we only used a simple example with individual journals as the diffusion units. A sample from a highly interdisciplinary journal, Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, is used to illustrate this procedure. From the theoretical analysis and experimental examples, the DT index proved an efficient function for differentiating the scope of citation diffusion.

Impact [Factor]: Target [Academic Career] Destroyed!": Just Another Statistical Casualty Authors: Brumback, RA Author Full Names: Brumback, Roger A. Source: JOURNAL OF CHILD NEUROLOGY, 27 (12):1565-1576; 10.1177/0883073812465014 DEC 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Impact Factor, metrics, Publish or Perish, rank, tenure KeyWords Plus: DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER; SPINAL MUSCULAR-ATROPHY; OF-CHILD-NEUROLOGY; TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS COMPLEX; JOURNAL-CITATION-REPORTS; SPASTIC CEREBRAL-PALSY; WORSHIPING FALSE IDOLS; H-INDEX; DIAGNOSTIC-CRITERIA; JOUBERT-SYNDROME Abstract: "Publish or perish" is the time-honored "principle" for academicians who race to accumulate lines under the "publications" section of a curriculum vitae. The original intent of publication-to inform others of findings and further scientific knowledge-has been corrupted by factors including (1) exponential growth of journals and the journal industry, fueled in part by intrusion of the Internet into all aspects of academic life; and (2) adoption of journal metrics (rather than written content) as the measure of scientific quality. The proprietary Thomson Reuters Impact Factor is the most pernicious metric, having caused editors and publishers to change editorial practices to boost the number. At the same time, gullible administrators and government agencies have been persuaded that metrics for the journal in which materials are published can be used as a measure of the worth of individual investigators (and institutions) and their research efforts: simple numbers can be substi! tuted for the burdensome effort required to read and assess research quality. Thus, granting of research funds, awarding of academic rank and tenure, and determination of salaries (including bonus payments) have become tied to manipulable journal metrics rather than the significance or quality of reported research. Therefore, it is no wonder that the integrity of science is more often being questioned. How should a young investigator approach the "publish or perish" dilemma? Performing sound research and preparing optimal materials for publication must remain the overriding goals: properly articulate the question addressed by the study; thoroughly document all methods and case information; carefully describe results including any conflicting or negative findings; discuss the importance of the findings along with how the results address the initial question and whether findings refute or confirm previous studies; prepare properly cited bibliographic references; list all auth! or contributions, potential conflicts of interest, financial s! upport, and required ethical approvals; and provide a catchy title and an abstract containing sufficient information that other investigators perusing scientific indices will be enticed to read the published article. Submit the completed manuscript to the most appropriate journal based on that journal's previously published content and relevance to the field of study regardless of journal metrics. On publication, notify investigators in the same field to ask for their comments on the work. Thus, an individual will become known for the quality of his or her work product and the worshiping of publication metrics will be unnecessary.

Method: Several indices were used to compare journal impact and citations of articles appearing between 1996 and 2010 in six eating disorders journals and six leading general psychiatry journals. Results: The International Journal of Eating Disorders (IJED) had the highest journal impact factor (JIF, 2.278) of the six eating disorders' journals. The general psychiatry journals had higher JIFs and received more citations per eating disorder article than the specialized journals. However, IJED published the highest number of eating disorder articles between 1996 and 2010, and 35 of these articles received at least 100 citations. Discussion: Using the JIF alone to decide where to submit a manuscript is a poor strategy, as this does not take into consideration the impact an article can have within the eating disorder's field over time.

This introduction to the MIS Quarterly Special Issue on Business Intelligence Research first provides a framework that identifies the evolution, applications, and emerging research areas of BI&A. BI&A 1.0, BI&A 2.0, and BI&A 3.0 are defined and described in terms of their key characteristics and capabilities. Current research in BI&A is analyzed and challenges and opportunities associated with BI&A research and education are identified. We also report a bibliometric study of critical BI&A publications, researchers, and research topics based on more than a decade of related academic and industry publications. Finally, the six articles that comprise this special issue are introduced and characterized in terms of the proposed BI&A research fra! mework.

Authors: Hunt, GE; Happell, B; Chan, SWC; Cleary, M Author Full Names: Hunt, Glenn E.; Happell, Brenda; Chan, Sally W. -C.; Cleary, Michelle Source: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH NURSING, 21 (6):576-580; 10.1111/j.1447-0349.2012.00815.x DEC 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: citation, journal impact factor, mental health nursing journal KeyWords Plus: H-INDEX; IMPACT FACTORS; PSYCHIATRY Abstract: The journal impact factor (JIF), and how best to rate the performance of a journal and the articles they contain, are areas of great debate. The aim of this paper was to assess various ranking methods of journal quality for mental health nursing journals, and to list the top 10 articles that have received the most number of citations to date. Seven mental health nursing journals were chosen for the analysis of citations they received in 2010, as well as their current impact factors from two sources, and other data for ranking purposes. There was very little difference in the top four mental health nursing journals and their overall rankings when combining various bibliometric indicators. That said, the International Journal of Mental Health Nursing is currently the highest ranked mental health nursing journal based on JIF, but publishes fewer articles per year compared to other journals.

Source: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 63 (12):2370-2377; 10.1002/asi.22761 DEC 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: bibliometrics, webometrics KeyWords Plus: COMMUNITY STRUCTURE; NETWORKS; TECHNOLOGY; CENTRALITY Abstract: This paper introduces a keyword map of the labels used by the scientists registered in the Google Scholar Citations (GSC) database from December 2011. In all, 15,000 random queries were formulated to GSC to obtain a list of 26,682 registered users. From this list a network graph of 6,660 labels was built and classified according to the Scopus Subject Area classes. Results display a detailed label map of the most used (>15 times) tags. The structural analysis shows that the core of the network is occupied by computer sciencerelated disciplines that account for the most used and shared labels. This core is surrounded by clusters of disciplines related or close to computing such as Information Sciences, Mathematics, or Bioinformatics. Classical areas such as Chemistry and Physics are marginalized in the graph. It is suggested that GSC would in the future be an accurate source to map Science because it is based on the labels that scientists themselves use to describe their own r! esearch activity.

Given a field and a citation impact indicator, such as the mean citation or the h-index, the merit of a given set of n articles is identified with the probability that a randomly drawn set of n articles from a given pool of articles in that field has a lower citation impact according to the indicator in question. The method allows for comparisons between sets of articles of different sizes and fields. Using a dataset acquired from Thomson Scientific that contains the articles published in the periodical literature in the period 1998-2007, we show that the novel approach yields rankings of research units different from those obtained by a direct application of the mean citation or the h-index.

Methods: The publications of 30 College of Nursing faculty at a large urban university were examined. Searches by author name were executed in Scopus, WOS, and POP (Publish or Perish, which searches Google Scholar), and the h-index for each author from each database was recorded. In addition, the citing articles of their published articles were imported into a bibliographic management program. This data was used to determine an aggregated h-index for each author. Results: Scopus, WOS, and Google Scholar provided different h-index ratings for authors and each database found unique and duplicate citing references. Conclusions: More than one tool should be used to calculate the h-index for nursing faculty because one tool alone cannot be relied on to provide a thorough assessment of a researcher's impact. If researchers are interested in a comprehensive h-index, they should aggregate the citing references located by WOS and Scopus. Because h-index rankings differ among databases, comparisons between researchers should be done only within a specified database. Cite this article: De Groote, S.L., & Raszewski, R. (2012, DECEMBER).

These indexes follow the general principle of repeating the index calculation for the same publication set. Using bibliometric data and reviewer scores for accepted and rejected fellowship applicants we examine how valid the cumulative variant is compared to the original variant. These analyses showed that the cumulative indexes result in higher correlations with the reviewer scores than their original variants. Thus, the cumulative indexes better reflect the assessments by peers than the original variants and are useful extensions of the original indexes. In contrast to many other measures of scientific performance proposed up to now, the cumulative indexes seem not only to be effective, but they are also easy to understand and ca! lculate.

We propose an alternative index ("Index h-fac"), which considers positively the participation of the first author and that, by having a dynamic characteristic, continuously monitors his/her performance and is easily adaptable to particular or individual situations from different research groups. Results from the geometric mean between the original h-index as proposed by Hirsh and a correction factor ("fac", "first author commitment") and, in turn, this value is divided by the mean interval (in years) of all studies. The index emphasizes two scores (X and Y). These scores X and Y were obtained by asking to all 83 cardiovascular surgeons from Southern Brazil (Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) and Specialists, how they realistically estimated, in percentage, their e! ffective contribution in each published paper in which they appeared as first author. Of the total, 80 (96.4%) responded. The average obtained was 78.0% and on this basis, the X score was established as 0.75 and the score Y as 0.25. The new index also considers the total number of citations as first author and as co-author, the average number of coauthors per publication and the total number of papers published. Theoretical examples are presented, discussing the main advantages of application. Serial evaluations in real world situations should be instituted to confirm the diagnostic and prognostic utility of this new index.

Considering the growing process of one paper, the content features describing the "rewards" that papers obtained in their earlier stage were extracted to characterize their quality mechanism. Integrating the content features and the external features obtained from the social view of papers' communication process, the feature space used to model HCPs was established. Basing on the feature space, the typical features of HCPs were extracted by the framework of rough set reduction. It shows that the papers' inner qualities and the external features mainly presented as the reputation of authors and journals make joint efforts to generating HCPs in future.

This study intends to build a Web-based citation analysis system, which consists of four modules, they are: 1) literature search module; (2) statistics module; (3) articles analysis module; and (4) cocitation analysis module. The system focuses on PubMed Central dataset that has 170,000 records. In a research domain, a specific keyword searches in terms of authors, journals, and core issues. In addition, we use data mining techniques for co-citation analysis. The results assist researchers with in-depth understanding of the domain knowledge. Having an automated system for co-citation analysis, it helps to understand changes, trends, and knowledge structure of research domain. For the best of our knowledge, the proposed system differentiates from existing online electronic retrieval database analysis function. Perhaps, the proposed system is going to be a value- added database of healthcare domain, and hope to contribute the researchers.

Using the PsycINFO database, productivity and impact were examined for the field as a whole and by faculty rank and gender between 2005 and 2009. Results of our study reflected considerable variability in scholarly impact and productivity. For example, on average, school psychology faculty published slightly more than one refereed journal article per year, with productivity rates ranging from zero to eight articles per year. Similar variability in results was observed for scholarly impact. Results of this study also revealed no significant differences in productivity and impact by scholarly rank. Significant differences were observed for gender, however, with higher productivity and impact for men than women. A secondary objective of this study was to rank the most productive and impactful faculty by total authorship credit, number of publications, and number of citations, and to examine the relationships among these different rankings. Implications and limitations are discussed.

To determine the utility of these tools to social work researchers, an analysis of citing references to well-known social work journals was conducted. Web of Science had the fewest citing references and almost no variety in source format. Scopus provided higher citation counts, but the pattern of coverage was similar to Web of Science. Google Scholar provided substantially more citing references, but only a relatively small percentage of them were unique scholarly journal articles. The patterns of database coverage were replicated when the citations were broken out for each journal separately. The results of this analysis demonstrate the need to determine what resources constitute scholarly research and reflect the need for future researchers to consider the merits of each database before undertaking their research. This study will be of interest to scholars in library and information science as well as social work, as it facilitates a greater understanding of the strengths and limitations of each database and brings to light important considerations for conducting future research.

Methods and results All abstracts submitted in 2006 were assessed for acceptance, presentation format, and average reviewer rating. Accepted and rejected studies were followed for 4 years. Multivariate regression analyses of a representative selection of 10% of all abstracts (n = 1002) were performed to identify factors predicting acceptance, subsequent publication, and citation. A total of 10 020 abstracts were submitted, 3104 (31%) were accepted for poster, and 701 (7%) for oral presentation. At Congress level, basic research, a patient number >= 100, and prospective study design were identified as independent predictors of acceptance. These factors differed from those predicting full-text publication, which included academic affiliation. The single parameter predicting frequent citation was study design with randomized controlled trials reaching the highest citation rates. The publication rate of accepted studies was 38%, whereas only 24% of rejected studies were published. Among published studies, those accepted at the Congress received higher citation rates than rejected ones. Conclusions Research of high quality was determined by study design and largely identified at Congress level through blinded peer review. The scientometric follow-up revealed a marked disparity between predictors of full-text publication and those predicting citation or acceptance at the Congress.

However, the national productivity to the subspecialty critical care medicine remains unknown. We therefore intended to reveal the national contribution in the subspecialty critical care medicine journals. Materials and Methods: Articles published in 20 highly cited journals in subspecialty critical care medicine from 2006 to 2010 were retrieved from Web of Science and PubMed. The number of total articles and randomized, controlled trials, the per capita numbers, total impact factors (IFs), and citations were tabulated to assess the contribution of different countries. Results: A total number of 17 667 articles were published in the 20 journals from 2006 to 2010 worldwide. North America, West Europe, and East Asia were the most productive regions. High-income countries published 89.68% of the total articles. The United States published the most number of articles in 2006 to 2010 (6659/17 667, or 37.69%), followed by United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Australia. Besides, the United States also had the most number of randomized, controlled trials (260), the highest total impact factors (27 206.55), and the highest total citations (84 170). When normalized to population size, Australia had the highest number of articles per million population, followed by Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, and Belgium. Conclusion: The United States is the most productive country in the subspecialty critical care medicine. When normalized to population size, Australia and some European countries might be more productive. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Evaluation of the performance of these Chinese SCI journals is necessary and helpful to improve their quality. This study aimed to evaluate these journals by calculating various journal self- citation rates, which are important parameters influencing a journal impact factor. Methodology/Principal Findings: We defined three journal self-citation rates, and studied these rates for 99 Chinese scientific journals, almost exhausting all Chinese SCI journals currently available. Likewise, we selected 99 non-Chinese international (abbreviated as 'world') journals, with each being in the same JCR subject category and having similar impact factors as their Chinese counterparts. Generally, Chinese journals tended to be higher in all the three self-citation rates than world journal counterparts. Particularly, a few Chinese scientific journals had much higher self-citation rates. Conclusions/Significance: Our results show that generally Chinese scientific journals have higher self-citation rates than those of world journals. Consequently, Chinese scientific journals tend to have lower visibility and are more isolated in the relevant fields. Considering the fact that sciences are rapidly developing in China and so are Chinese scientific journals, we expect that the differences of journal self- citation rates between Chinese and world scientific journals will gradually disappear in the future. Some suggestions to solve the problems are presented.

Methods and results All abstracts submitted in 2006 were assessed for acceptance, presentation format, and average reviewer rating. Accepted and rejected studies were followed for 4 years. Multivariate regression analyses of a representative selection of 10% of all abstracts (n = 1002) were performed to identify factors predicting acceptance, subsequent publication, and citation. A total of 10 020 abstracts were submitted, 3104 (31%) were accepted for poster, and 701 (7%) for oral presentation. At Congress level, basic research, a patient number >= 100, and prospective study design were identified as independent predictors of acceptance. These factors differed from those predicting full-text publication, which included academic affiliation. The single parameter predicting frequent citation was study design with randomized controlled trials reaching the highest citation rates. The publication rate of accepted studies was 38%, whereas only 24% of rejected studies were publishe! d. Among published studies, those accepted at the Congress received higher citation rates than rejected ones. Conclusions Research of high quality was determined by study design and largely identified at Congress level through blinded peer review. The scientometric follow-up revealed a marked disparity between predictors of full-text publication and those predicting citation or acceptance at the Congress.

Evaluation of the performance of these Chinese SCI journals is necessary and helpful to improve their quality. This study aimed to evaluate these journals by calculating various journal self-citation rates, which are important parameters influencing a journal *impact factor*. Methodology/Principal Findings: We defined three journal self-citation rates, and studied these rates for 99 Chinese scientific journals, almost exhausting all Chinese SCI journals currently available. Likewise, we selected 99 non-Chinese international (abbreviated as 'world') journals, with each being in the same JCR subject category and having similar impact factors as their Chinese counterparts. Generally, Chinese journals tended to be higher in all the three self-citation rates than world journal counterparts. Particularly, a few Chinese scientific journals had much higher self-citation rates. Conclusions/Significance: Our results show that generally Chinese scientific journals have higher self-citation rates than those of world journals. Consequently, Chinese scientific journals tend to have lower visibility and are more isolated in the relevant fields. Considering the fact that sciences are rapidly developing in China and so are Chinese scientific journals, we expect that the differences of journal self-citation rates between Chinese and world scientific journals will gradually disappear in the future. Some suggestions to solve the problems are presented. Reprint Address: Tianjin Univ, Dept Phys, Tianjin 300072, Peoples R China.

We furthermore wished to determine whether there is any difference between a categorical "journal-by-journal" analysis and an "all-database" analysis in arthroscopic surgery and whether such a search methodology would alter the results of previously published lists of "citation classics" in the field. We analyzed the characteristics of these articles to determine what qualities make an article important to this subspecialty of orthopaedic surgery. Methods: Web of Knowledge was searched on March 7, 2011, using the term "arthroscopy" for citations to articles related to arthroscopy in 61 orthopaedic journals and using the all-database function. Each of the 61 orthopaedic journals was searched separately for arthroscopy-related articles to determine the 25 most ci! ted articles. An all-database search for arthroscopy-related articles was carried out and compared with a journal-by-journal search. Each article was reviewed for basic information including the type of article, authorship, institution, country, publishing journal, and year published. Results: The number of citations ranged from 189 to 567 in a journal-by-journal search and from 214 to 1,869 in an all-database search. The 25 most cited articles on arthroscopic surgery were published in 11 journals: 8 orthopaedic journals and 3 journals from other specialties. The most cited article in arthroscopic orthopaedic surgery was published in The New England Journal of Medicine, which was not previously identified by a journal-by-journal search. Conclusions: An all-database search in Web of Knowledge gives a more in-depth methodology of determining the true citation ranking of articles. Among the top 25 most cited articles, autologous chondrocyte implantation/transplantation is curr! ently the most cited and most popular topic in arthroscopic or! thopaedi c surgery and research. Clinical Relevance: Analysis of the 25 most cited articles allows us to identify the most popular field of research in arthroscopic orthopaedic surgery and gives us insight into the quality and characteristics that are required for an article to become highly cited.

Faculty were asked to rate a list of eighty-nine LIS journals on a scale from 1 to 5 based on each journal's importance to their research and teaching. Mean and mode calculations were used to rank results. Additionally, LIS faculty were asked to list the five most prestigious journals to be published in for tenure and promotion purposes at their institution. Several journals were rated highly by each method. LIS faculty ratings of LIS journals are useful for assessing journal quality not only for decisions regarding collection management but for tenure and promotion as well.

The Eigenfactor and Article Influence Scores are suggested as an improved way to compare research quality and impact across disciplines. The network analysis underlying the Eigenfactor approach suggests the agricultural and natural resource economics profession can have a larger impact on the scientific community by directing more research effort towards interdisciplinary work. The Article Influence approach is used to develop a seven-tier system to evaluate research quality, to be used either to guide individual faculty about where to publish their research or to evaluate the research portfolio of a department.

Objective. In order to characterize scientific collaboration the best way is to study co-signature of articles. Two indicators are interesting: number of authors and international character. The objective is to study correlation between these two indicators and citation number. Methods. We selected two pharmacy and medicine journals in order to compare practices. We used a sample of about 800 articles published in 2002-2005 for which we collected citations up to 2010. We transformed numeric variables, authors number and citation number, into qualitative variables. Results. "Authors" and "Citations" variables are not independent. Conclusions. Less cited articles are often published by one author or a very small team while international character of articles generally increases citation number. This micro-analysis also allowed us to better understand publication practices.

A bibliometric review was conducted of the contents of the Library to determine dynamics in the type, content and volume of literature on malaria in pregnancy over time. Methods: Data on year of publication, type, language, country of first-author affiliation and content (topic) were extracted from entries in the MiP Library and plotted over time. Results: By January 2012, the MiP Library contained 5,346 entries, consisting of 3,721 journal articles (69.6%), 697 reports (13.0%), 219 academic theses (4.1%), 92 books or book chapters (1.7%), 487 conference proceedings (9.1%), 68 registered studies (1.3%) and 62 'other' (1.2%). Most of the sources were in English language (87.3%), followed by French (7.5%) and Spanish (1.5%). Over 40% of source material was publicly available online (42.4%) and the remaining with restricted access (35.0%) or otherwise unavailable (22.7%). The number of journal articles related to malaria in pregnancy increased from 41 in the 1960s, to 708 in the 1990s, and 1,895 between 2000 and 2009, and the variety of themes has increased over time. English-language articles were sourced from 737 different journals. The top three journals were the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (184), Malaria Journal (158) and the Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (13! 1). Conclusion: The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in publications related to malaria in pregnancy, and an increasing proportion of these are publically available online. The MiP Library is a useful, scholarly source for literature and systematic reviews related to malaria in pregnancy.

The results of this study reveal that the energy and fuels research output have grown spectacularly starting with 86 papers in 1972 and ending with 16,333 papers in 2011, showing superb performance in the 2000s triggered by the 2001 Twin-Tower terrorist attacks renewing the global anxiety on the energy supplies, with paralleling enormous changes in the research landscape. There were 150,253 papers published between 1972 and 2011 comprising 0.5% of the global literature indexed by the A&HCI, SSCI, and SCIE between 1945 and 2011. The US, China, and Japan have been the three most prolific countries. The "Indian Inst Technol" of India has been the most prolific institut! ion and "Probert SD" of the Cranfield University has been the most prolific author. "Journal of Power Sources" has been the most prolific journal whilst "Energy Fuels" has been the most prolific subject area. A review paper on the nitrogen chemistry in combustion has had the highest impact on the literature with 1,565 citations. The scientometric analysis has a great potential to gain valuable insights into the evolution of the global research on the energy and fuels, complementing the scientometric studies in the fields of the renewable energies as well as other dynamic research fields providing a unique insight on the incentive structures for all the key stakeholders in the field.

This study highlights the statistical journal articles, the statistical journals, and the types of statistical methods that appear to be having the most direct impact on GIM research. Methods Descriptive techniques, including analyses of articles' keywords and controlled vocabulary terms, were used to characterize the articles published in statistics and probability journals that were subsequently referenced within GIM journal articles during a recent 10-year period (20002009). Results >From the 45 statistics and probability journals of interest, a total of 989 unique articles were identified as being cited by 2183 (out of a total of about 127?469) unique GIM journal articles. The most frequently cited statistical topics included general/other statistical methods, followed by randomized trials, epidemiologic methods, meta-analysis, generalized linear models, and computer simulation. Conclusion As statisticians continue to develop and refine techniques, the promotion and adoption of these methods should also be addressed so that their efforts spent in developing the methods are not done in vain.

This study attempts to examine and map the FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) bibliographic relationships with Tillett's taxonomy of bibliographic relationships, and to assess the congruence between them. The FRBR conceptual model provides a taxonomy of bibliographic relationships in chapter 5, illustrating them in 11 tables. This study shows that there is considerable congruence between these two taxonomies.

The purpose of this study was to determine the 50 most cited articles in shoulder surgery and their characteristics. Methods: Science Citation Index Expanded was searched for citations of articles published in any of the 61 journals in the category "Orthopedics." Each of the journals was searched to determine the 50 most often cited articles specific to shoulder surgery. The following characteristics were determined for each article: authors, year of publication, source journal, geographic origin, article type, and level of evidence for clinical articles. Citation density (total number of citations/years since publication) was also determined. Results: The number of citations ranged from 1211 to 192. The 50 most often cited articles were published in 8 journals. The majority of the articles (42) were clinical, with the remaining representing some type of basic science research. The most common level of evidence was IV (23). The mean number of citations for methodologic articles (437 citations per article) was greater than that for non-methodologic articles (301 citations per article) (P = .034). Conclusions: Articles that introduced instruments for outcome evaluation or that introduced classification systems (methodologic) were highly cited regardless of the date of publication. The top 50 list presented provides residency and fellowship directors with a group of "classic" articles in the subspecialty of orthopedic shoulder surgery that can be included in reading curriculums for their trainees.

The area under the citation function is divided by the h-index into three parts, representing h-squared, excess and h-tail citations. The h-index by itself does not carry information for excess and h-tail citations, which can play an even more dominant role than h-index in determining the citation curve, and therefore it is necessary to examine the relations among them. A triangle mapping technique is proposed here to map the three percentages of these citations onto a point within a regular triangle. By viewing the distribution of mapping points, shapes of the citation functions can be studied in a perceivable form.

Methods and results All abstracts submitted in 2006 were assessed for acceptance, presentation format, and average reviewer rating. Accepted and rejected studies were followed for 4 years. Multivariate regression analyses of a representative selection of 10% of all abstracts (n = 1002) were performed to identify factors predicting acceptance, subsequent publication, and citation. A total of 10 020 abstracts were submitted, 3104 (31%) were accepted for poster, and 701 (7%) for oral presentation. At Congress level, basic research, a patient number >= 100, and prospective study design were identified as independent predictors of acceptance. These factors differed from those predicting full-text publication, which included academic affiliation. The single parameter predicting frequent citation was study design with randomized controlled trials reaching the highest citation rates. The publication rate of accepted studies was 38%, whereas only 24% of rejected studies were publishe! d. Among published studies, those accepted at the Congress received higher citation rates than rejected ones. Conclusions Research of high quality was determined by study design and largely identified at Congress level through blinded peer review. The scientometric follow-up revealed a marked disparity between predictors of full-text publication and those predicting citation or acceptance at the Congress.

However, the national productivity to the subspecialty critical care medicine remains unknown. We therefore intended to reveal the national contribution in the subspecialty critical care medicine journals. Materials and Methods: Articles published in 20 highly cited journals in subspecialty critical care medicine from 2006 to 2010 were retrieved from Web of Science and PubMed. The number of total articles and randomized, controlled trials, the per capita numbers, total impact factors (IFs), and citations were tabulated to assess the contribution of different countries. Results: A total number of 17 667 articles were published in the 20 journals from 2006 to 2010 worldwide. North America, West Europe, and East Asia were the most productive regions. High-income countries published 89.68% of the total articles. The United States published the most number of articles in 2006 to 2010 (6659/17 667, or 37.69%), followed by United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Australia. Besides, the United States also had the most number of randomized, controlled trials (260), the highest total impact factors (27 206.55), and the highest total citations (84 170). When normalized to population size, Australia had the highest number of articles per million population, followed by Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, and Belgium. Conclusion: The United States is the most productive country in the subspecialty critical care medicine. When normalized to population size, Australia and some European countries might be more productive. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Evaluation of the performance of these Chinese SCI journals is necessary and helpful to improve their quality. This study aimed to evaluate these journals by calculating various journal self-citation rates, which are important parameters influencing a journal impact factor. Methodology/Principal Findings: We defined three journal self-citation rates, and studied these rates for 99 Chinese scientific journals, almost exhausting all Chinese SCI journals currently available. Likewise, we selected 99 non-Chinese international (abbreviated as 'world') journals, with each being in the same JCR subject category and having similar impact factors as their Chinese counterparts. Generally, Chinese journals tended to be higher in all the three self-citation rates than world journal counterparts. Particularly, a few Chinese scientific journals had much higher self-citation rates. Conclusions/Significance: Our results show that generally Chinese scientific journals have higher self-citation rates than those of world journals. Consequently, Chinese scientific journals tend to have lower visibility and are more isolated in the relevant fields. Considering the fact that sciences are rapidly developing in China and so are Chinese scientific journals, we expect that the differences of journal self-citation rates between Chinese and world scientific journals will gradually disappear in the future. Some suggestions to solve the problems are presented. Reprint Address: Tianjin Univ, Dept Phys, Tianjin 300072, Peoples R China.

To determine the utility of these tools to social work researchers, an analysis of citing references to well-known social work journals was conducted. Web of Science had the fewest citing references and almost no variety in source format. Scopus provided higher citation counts, but the pattern of coverage was similar to Web of Science. Google Scholar provided substantially more citing references, but only a relatively small percentage of them were unique scholarly journal articles. The patterns of database coverage were replicated when the citations were broken out for each journal separately. The results of this analysis demonstrate the need to determine what resources constitute scholarly research and reflect the need for future researchers to consider the merits of each database before undertaking their research. This study will be of interest to scholars in library and information science as well as social work, as it facilitates a greater understanding of the strengths and limitations of each database and brings to light important considerations for conducting future research.

A. Source: PROTECTION OF METALS AND PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY OF SURFACES, 48 (6):636-648; 10.1134/S2070205112060068 NOV 2012 Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: HERMANNS MATHEMATICAL STRUCTURE; GENERAL THERMODYNAMIC EQUATIONS; SHUTTLEWORTH EQUATION; CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRY; LIPPMANN EQUATION; STRESS; WATER; INCOMPATIBILITY; ENERGY; ELASTICITY Abstract: Josiah Willard Gibbs is definitely the most respectable and citable author in the surface tension of solids, however there are many incorrect citations of concepts and notions ascribed to Gibbs, but completely alien to his scientific heritage. Unfortunately, they became decidedly important for development of the contemporary theory of the surface tension of solids. For example, the erroneous notion of the "reversible cleavage", as the conceptual background of this theory, appeared half a century after the most recent Gibbs' works. Here we discuss not just formal linguistic, but conceptual matters using the advanced statistical method to identify wrong concepts ascribed to Gibbs. They existed in the theory of surface tension of solids for long decades and were accepted and used by most experts in this field. Today, we should formally recognize the high status of the current theory of surface tension of solids since it is supported by the scientific majority. It is based on th! e Shuttleworth equation, the vague concept of "reversible cleavage" and incorrect citations and interpretations of Gibbs thermodynamics. Up till now, neither this equation nor the theory as a whole had any experimental confirmations; moreover, they were shown to contradict all available experimental data. In connection with incorrect citations and interpretations of Gibbs works, we underline some pseudo-concepts and terms that Gibbs never used (like "reversible cleavage" or just "cleavage"), and contrarily, the important notions that Gibbs introduced for the first time, but almost nobody heard about them, for example -"actual and possible components" and the principal absence of "pure phases" in equilibrium of multiphase systems. We have also considered in detail the key difference between citation (as a possible free and often incorrect interpretation of the original text) and quotation (as an exact part of the original). Semantically citations and quotations are usually r! egarded as synonyms, but in practice it is not always correct ! and the sequences of their proposed equivalence might be critical for development of new concepts and theories.

The Eigenfactor and Article Influence Scores are suggested as an improved way to compare research quality and impact across disciplines. The network analysis underlying the Eigenfactor approach suggests the agricultural and natural resource economics profession can have a larger impact on the scientific community by directing more research effort towards interdisciplinary work. The Article Influence approach is used to develop a seven-tier system to evaluate research quality, to be used either to guide individual faculty about where to publish their research or to evaluate the research portfolio of a department.

Objective. In order to characterize scientific collaboration the best way is to study co-signature of articles. Two indicators are interesting: number of authors and international character. The objective is to study correlation between these two indicators and citation number. Methods. We selected two pharmacy and medicine journals in order to compare practices. We used a sample of about 800 articles published in 2002-2005 for which we collected citations up to 2010. We transformed numeric variables, authors number and citation number, into qualitative variables. Results. "Authors" and "Citations" variables are not independent. Conclusions. Less cited articles are often published by one author or a very small team while international character of articles generally increases citation number. This micro-analysis also allowed us to better understand publication practices.

The results of this study reveal that the energy and fuels research output have grown spectacularly starting with 86 papers in 1972 and ending with 16,333 papers in 2011, showing superb performance in the 2000s triggered by the 2001 Twin-Tower terrorist attacks renewing the global anxiety on the energy supplies, with paralleling enormous changes in the research landscape. There were 150,253 papers published between 1972 and 2011 comprising 0.5% of the global literature indexed by the A&HCI, SSCI, and SCIE between 1945 and 2011. The US, China, and Japan have been the three most prolific countries. The "Indian Inst Technol" of India has been the most prolific institution and "Probert SD" of the Cranfield University has been the most prolific author. "Journal of Power Sources" has been the most prolific journal whilst "Energy Fuels" has been the most prolific subject area. A review paper on the nitrogen chemistry in combustion has had the highest impact on the literature with 1,565 citations. The scientometric analysis has a great potential to gain valuable insights into the evolution of the global research on the energy and fuels, complementing the scientometric studies in the fields of the renewable energies as well as other dynamic research fields providing a unique insight on the incentive structures for all the key stakeholders in the field.

Our objective was to examine how the h-index of academic otolaryngologists relates with academic rank. Study Design: A descriptive and correlational design was used for analysis of academic otolaryngologists' h-indices using the Scopus database. Methods: H-indices of faculty members from 50 otolaryngology residency programs were calculated using the Scopus database, and data was organized by academic rank. Additionally, an analysis of the h-indices of departmental chairpersons among different specialties was performed. Results: H-index values of academic otolaryngologists were higher with increased academic rank among the levels of assistant professor, associate professor, and professor. There was no significant difference between the h-indices of professors and department chairpersons within otolaryngology. H-indices of chairpersons in different academic specialties were compared and were significantly different, suggesting that the use of this metric may not be appropriate for comparing different fields. Conclusions: The h-index is a reliable tool for quantifying academic productivity within otolaryngology. This measure is easily calculable and may be useful when evaluating decisions regarding advancement within academic otolaryngology departments. Comparison of this metric among faculty members from different fields, however, may not be reliable.

As such, it is an effective, objective bibliometric that can be used to evaluate academic otolaryngologists for decisions regarding appointment and advancement. In this study, we evaluate the impact of NIH funding on scholarly productivity in otolaryngology. Study Design: Analysis of bibliometric data of academic otolaryngologists. Methods: Funding data for the 20 otolaryngology departments with the largest aggregate total of NIH grants for the fiscal years (FY) 2011 and 2012 was obtained using the National Institutes of Health Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditures and Reports (RePORTER) Database. H-indices were calculated using the Scopus online database, and then compared to funding data at both the departmental and individual level. Results: Faculty members in otolaryngology departments who received NIH funding had significantly greater research productivity and impact, as measured by the h-index, than their nonfunded peers. H-indices increased with greater NIH funding levels, and investigators with MD degrees tended to have higher mean NIH funding levels than those with PhDs. While there was no correlation between average h-index and NIH funding totals at the level of departments, there was greater correlation upon examination of NIH funding levels of individual investigators. Conclusions: The h-index has a strong relationship with, and may be predictive of, grant awards of NIH- funded faculty members in otolaryngology departments. This bibliometric may be useful in decisions regarding appointment and advancement of faculty members within academic otolaryngology departments.

A total number of 142 journals titles were listed in Journal Citation Report (ISI Thomson) in the field of "Public, Environmental & Occupational Health". All but one of them had published papers at least for a year from 2009 to 2010. Journal title, number of citations and publication year of 45685 papers were collected from ISI web of knowledge database at December 25, 2011. About half of the papers (23226) had no citations and 89.4% (40835) had less than 6 citations. We concluded that the ranking of journals in the field of public health is not affected by the individual papers with unusual number of citations.

As such, indicators of research productivity based on citation records are naturally subject to historical and disciplinary effects. We observe these effects on a corpus of astronomer career data constructed from a database of refereed publications. We employ a simple mechanism to measure research output using author and reference counts available in bibliographic databases to develop a citation-based indicator of research productivity. The total research impact (tori) quantifies, for an individual, the total amount of scholarly work that others have devoted to his/her work, measured in the volume of research papers. A derived measure, the research impact quotient (riq), is an age-independent measure of an individual's research ability. We demonstrate that these measures are substantially less vulnerable to temporal debasement and cross-disciplinary bias than the most popular current measures. The proposed measures of research impact, tori and riq, have been implemented in the Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System.

In this study we investigate referencing (citing) behavior in five diverse fields (astronomy, mathematics, robotics, ecology and economics) based on 213,756 core journal articles. At the macro level we find: (a) a steady increase in the number of references per article over the period studied (50 years), which in some fields is due to a higher rate of usage, while in others reflects longer articles and (b) an increase in all fields in the fraction of older, foundational references since the 1980s, with no obvious change in citing patterns associated with the introduction of the Internet. At the meso level we explore current (2006-2010) referencing behavior of different categories of authors (21,562 total) within each field, based on their academic age, productivity and collaborative practices. Contrary to some previous findings and expectations we find that senior researchers use references at the same rate as their junior colleagues, with similar rates of re-citation (use of same references in multiple papers). High Modified Price Index (MPI, which measures the speed of the research front more accurately than the traditional Price Index) of senior authors indicates that their research has the similar cutting-edge aspect as that of their younger colleagues. In all fields both the productive researchers and especially those who collaborate more use a significantly lower fraction of foundational references and have much higher MPI and lower re-citation rates, i.e., they are the ones pushing the research front regardless of researcher age. This paper introduces improved bibliometric methods to measure the speed of the research front, disambiguate lead authors in co-authored papers and decouple measures of productivity and collaboration.

This study assessed the prevalence and content policies of the most influential biomedical journals on misconduct and procedures for handling and responding to allegations of misconduct. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of misconduct policies of 399 high-impact biomedical journals in 27 biomedical categories of the Journal Citation Reports in December 2011. Journal websites were reviewed for information relevant to misconduct policies. Results: Of 399 journals, 140 (35.1%) provided explicit definitions of misconduct. Falsification was explicitly mentioned by 113 (28.3%) journals, fabrication by 104 (26.1%), plagiarism by 224 (56.1%), duplication by 242 (60.7%) and image manipulation by 154 (38.6%). Procedures for responding to misconduct were described in 179 (44.9%) websites, including retraction, (30.8%) and expression of concern (16.3%). Plagiarism-checking services were used by 112 (28.1%) journals. The prevalences of all types of misconduct policies were higher in journals that endorsed any policy from editors' associations, Office of Research Integrity or professional societies compared to those that did not state adherence to these policy-producing bodies. Elsevier and Wiley- Blackwell had the most journals included (22.6% and 14.8%, respectively), with Wiley journals having greater a prevalence of misconduct definition and policies on falsification, fabrication and expression of concern and Elsevier of plagiarism-checking services. Conclusions: Only a third of top-ranking peer-reviewed journals had publicly-available definitions of misconduct and less than a half described procedures for handling allegations of misconduct. As endorsement of international policies from policy-producing bodies was positively associated with implementation of policies and procedures, journals and their publishers should standardize their policies globally in order to increase public trust in the integrity of the published record in biomedicine.

DEC 19 2012. p.NIL_872-NIL_875 PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, SAN FRANCISCO SEARCH TERM(S): JOURNALS item_title KEYWORDS+: SCIENCE ABSTRACT: The pathophysiologic mechanisms behind urologic disease are increasingly being elucidated. The object of this investigation was to evaluate the publication policies of urologic journals during a period of progressively better understanding and management of urologic disease. Based on the ISI Web of Knowledge Journal Citation Reports and the PubMed database, the number and percentage of original experimental, original clinical, review or commentarial articles published between 2002-2010 in six leading urologic journals were analyzed. "British Journal of Urology International", "European Urology", "Urologic Oncology-Seminars and Original Investigations" ("Urologic Oncology"), "Urology", "The Journal of Urology", and "World Journal of Urology" were chosen, because these journals publish articles in all four categories. The publication policies of the six journals were very heterogeneous during the time period from 2002 to 2010. The percentage of original experimental and original clinical articles, related to all categories, remained the same in "British Journal of Urology International", "Urologic Oncology", "Urology" and "The Journal of Urology". The percentage of experimental reports in "World Journal of Urology" between 2002-2010 significantly increased from 10 to 20%. A distinct elevation in the percentage of commentarial articles accompanied by a reduction of clinical articles became evident in "European Urology" which significantly correlated with a large increase in the journal's impact factor. No clearly superior policy could be identified with regard to a general increase in the impact factors from all the journals. The publication policy of urologic journals does not expressly reflect the increase in scientific knowledge, which has occurred over the period 2002-2010. One way of increasing the exposure of urologists to research and expand the interface between experimental and clinical research, would be to enlarge the percentage of experimental articles published. There is no indication that such policy would be detrimental to a journal's impact factor.

FEB 2013. p.26-29 WILEY-BLACKWELL, HOBOKEN SEARCH TERM(S): HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005 KEYWORDS: students; dental master theses; knowledge spreading; publications KEYWORDS+: PUBLICATION ABSTRACT: We estimated the international spreading of the knowledge produced by French dental master theses by searching for corresponding publications, either as articles in Medline-indexed journals or abstracts of IADR meetings published in the Journal of Dental Research. From the 634 theses defended in 2010 in the 16 French odontology faculties, we found only one article, in a journal without impact factor, and six abstracts, over a 3-year period (20092011). This corresponds to a spreading rate of 0.6%. The participation rate of French odontology faculties at IADR meetings varies from 37.5% to 81.3% depending on the year. Although there are very few studies available on the matter, it appears that this international spreading rate is much lower than both the one found by Nieminen for odontology in Finland (8.2%) and typical spreading rates of medical theses (from 6% to 41% depending on the country). This great discrepancy could be explained by the lack of specific training provided to the students; the low awareness and little engagement of the students themselves, usually more concerned with their own private practice work; and the inadequate involvement of their supervisors. To tackle the lack of appropriate training, we suggest that a specific course on scientific writing should be offered to the students in the last year of their dental master studies.

MAY 2012. p.182-194 CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, CAMBRIDGE SEARCH TERM(S): ARUNACHALAM S rauth; MERTON RK rauth; MERTON RK SCIENCE 159:56 1968 ABSTRACT: Scientists work by collecting observable evidence of different phenomena, from which they analyse and construct theoretical explanations. Consequently, science involves systematic efforts to increase human knowledge, a phenomenon that is usually described as 'cumulativity'. Most scientists would probably agree that (excellent) research should be cumulative, and by this they usually mean that scientists should accommodate and refer to the publications of other scholars. This article suggests that our perception of science would benefit from a broader and more nuanced approach to cumulativity. The article therefore provides a discussion on how contemporary scholars can approach cumulativity by adopting the fundamental ideology of the web 2.0 and web squared concepts.

Our results show that i) among all citation indicators, the annual citations at the time of prediction is the best predictor of future citations, ii) future citations of a scientist's published papers can be predicted accurately (r(2)=0.80 for a 1-year prediction, P<0.001) but iii) future citations of future work are hardly predictable.

Articles referencing constructed wetlands were analyzed by accessing the following: publication language, output characteristics, publication performance by country and institution, author keywords, title words, and KeyWords Plus. Synthetically analyzing three keyword types, we concluded that the dominant constructed wetlands research hotspots from 1991 to 2011 included water, nutrients, plants, and flow. These four hotspots remained the most dominant research areas throughout our study period, and are predicted to remain the top research emphases in the near future. "Soil" also exhibited a notable increase since 2005, and is likely to become another notable area of research interest in the future. "Phytoremediation" and "horizontal" were not identified in 1991- 1995, but exhibited marked increases from 136th (0.5%) and 169th (0.7%) in 1996-2000, to 9th (3.8%) and 11th (4.3%) in 2006-2011, respectively. Therefore, given the heightened attention during the last 15 years, these topics are likely to become a primary research focus in upcoming years. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The routine analyze.exe (at http://www.leydesdorff.net/journals11/analyze.exe ) also provides the Rao-Stirling diversity value of the resulting map as an indicator of the interdisciplinarity in the retrieval. The system works also with large sets using VOSViewer for the representation (label map, heat map, and cluster density map).

Ivanova Assuming that meaning cannot be communicated, we extend Shannon's mathematical theory of communication by defining mutual redundancy as a positional counterpart of the relational communication of information. Mutual redundancy indicates the surplus of meanings that can be provided to the exchange of information in reflexive communications. In the three-dimensional case (e.g., a Triple Helix of university-industry-government relations), mutual redundancy is equal to mutual information [R(xyz) = T(xyz)]; but when the dimensionality is even, the sign is different. We generalize to the measurement in N dimensions. Using Luhmann's social-systems theory and/or Giddens' structuration theory, mutual redundancy can be provided with an interpretation in the sociological case: different meaning-processing structures code and decode with other algorithms. A surplus of ("absent") options can then be generated that add to the redundancy. Luhmann's "functional (sub)systems" of expectations or Giddens' "rule-resource sets" are positioned mutually, but can be coupled operationally in events or "instantiated" in actions. Shannon-type information is generated by the mediation. The "structures" are re-positioned towards one another as sets of (potentially counterfactual) expectations.

Design/methodology/approach - The paper combines information from contemporary papers about the projects with recollections by the author who was personally associated with many of the projects. Findings - The paper reveals that, about 1990, computing reached a point where it became economically possible to mount large collections online and to access them over networks. The result was a flurry of experiments and prototypes. Many are almost forgotten, yet the libraries of today were formed by the energy and creativity of these efforts. The paper places some of the most influential projects in context and discusses why some prototypes and experiments succeeded while others fell by the wayside. Research limitations/implications - Several of the projects were never described formally in the academic literature, and there are no contemporary records to check some of the author's recollections. Originality/value - The value of this paper is that many of the projects that formed the libraries of today were poorly documented and it is already difficult to find good information about some of them. AUTHOR ADDRESS: WY Arms, Cornell Univ, Fac Comp & Informat Sci, Ithaca, NY 14850 USA -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: A personal history of digital libraries (Article, English) AUTHOR: Lesk, M SOURCE: LIBRARY HI TECH 30 (4). 2012. p.592-603 EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LIMITED, BINGLEY SEARCH TERM(S): CLEVERDON CW rauth; LUHN HP AM DOC 11:288 1960 KEYWORDS: Digital libraries; History; Information retrieval KEYWORDS+: WEB ABSTRACT: Purpose - This paper aims to present a personal view of the development of digital libraries, starting with the original vision of 1945 and describing how it came to the dominance of online searching and reading that it has today. Design/methodology/approach - Progress in digital libraries is described in four areas: technical, economic, legal and social issues. Originally technological obstacles were dominant, but they have generally been overcome by progress in computers, networks, and algorithms. Economic issues have also faded, although "open access" questions still bedevil us. Surprisingly, libraries are now faced with more serious legal obstacles than first expected; no one today can start a digital library effort without thinking about copyright. Social issues are likely to be the next set of challenges. Findings - The transformation of searching and reading has been almost complete. Scholars in scientific disciplines, in particular, often function quite well with only rare visits to a library to read physical books. Even in the area of entertainment reading, it can be seen that the e-reader devices now dominating. These results have been a combination of new research results and new commercial activities, with perhaps less progress by publishers and libraries than one might have hoped. Originality/value - The development of digital libraries has been a complex mixture of change: there are ideas which were invented long before users or companies were ready for them, and other ideas (such as search engines) which appeared suddenly when opportunities arose. The complexities of technology, economics, law and society are still in the process of being understood as they either enable or block new services. However, looking back, it can be seen that essentially the entire vision of 1945 is in sight and other large improvements in complex systems and how they are helped or impeded in their progress may be learned from this story.

Our objective was to examine how the h-index of academic otolaryngologists relates with academic rank. Study Design: A descriptive and correlational design was used for analysis of academic otolaryngologists' h-indices using the Scopus database. Methods: H-indices of faculty members from 50 otolaryngology residency programs were calculated using the Scopus database, and data was organized by academic rank. Additionally, an analysis of the h-indices of departmental chairpersons among different specialties was performed. Results: H-index values of academic otolaryngologists were higher with increased academic rank among the levels of assistant professor, associate professor, and professor. There was no significant difference between the h-indices of professors and department chairpersons within otolaryngology. H-indices of chairpersons in different academic specialties were compared and were significantly different, suggesting that the use of this metric may not be appropriate for comparing different fields. Conclusions: The h-index is a reliable tool for quantifying academic productivity within otolaryngology. This measure is easily calculable and may be useful when evaluating decisions regarding advancement within academic otolaryngology departments. Comparison of this metric among faculty members from different fields, however, may not be reliable.

As such, it is an effective, objective bibliometric that can be used to evaluate academic otolaryngologists for decisions regarding appointment and advancement. In this study, we evaluate the impact of NIH funding on scholarly productivity in otolaryngology. Study Design: Analysis of bibliometric data of academic otolaryngologists. Methods: Funding data for the 20 otolaryngology departments with the largest aggregate total of NIH grants for the fiscal years (FY) 2011 and 2012 was obtained using the National Institutes of Health Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditures and Reports (RePORTER) Database. H-indices were calculated using the Scopus online database, and then compared to funding data at both the departmental and individual level. Results: Faculty members in otolaryngology departments who received NIH funding had significantly greater research productivity and impact, as measured by the h-index, than their nonfunded peers. H-indices increased with greater NIH funding levels, and investigators with MD degrees tended to have higher mean NIH funding levels than those with PhDs. While there was no correlation between average h-index and NIH funding totals at the level of departments, there was greater correlation upon examination of NIH funding levels of individual investigators. Conclusions: The h-index has a strong relationship with, and may be predictive of, grant awards of NIH- funded faculty members in otolaryngology departments. This bibliometric may be useful in decisions regarding appointment and advancement of faculty members within academic otolaryngology departments.

A total number of 142 journals titles were listed in Journal Citation Report (ISI Thomson) in the field of "Public, Environmental & Occupational Health". All but one of them had published papers at least for a year from 2009 to 2010. Journal title, number of citations and publication year of 45685 papers were collected from ISI web of knowledge database at December 25, 2011. About half of the papers (23226) had no citations and 89.4% (40835) had less than 6 citations. We concluded that the ranking of journals in the field of public health is not affected by the individual papers with unusual number of citations.

As such, indicators of research productivity based on citation records are naturally subject to historical and disciplinary effects. We observe these effects on a corpus of astronomer career data constructed from a database of refereed publications. We employ a simple mechanism to measure research output using author and reference counts available in bibliographic databases to develop a citation-based indicator of research productivity. The total research impact (tori) quantifies, for an individual, the total amount of scholarly work that others have devoted to his/her work, measured in the volume of research papers. A derived measure, the research impact quotient (riq), is an age-independent measure of an individual's research ability. We demonstrate that these measures are substantially less vulnerable to temporal debasement and cross-disciplinary bias than the most popular current measures. The proposed measures of research impact, tori and riq, have been implemented in the Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System.

In this study we investigate referencing (citing) behavior in five diverse fields (astronomy, mathematics, robotics, ecology and economics) based on 213,756 core journal articles. At the macro level we find: (a) a steady increase in the number of references per article over the period studied (50 years), which in some fields is due to a higher rate of usage, while in others reflects longer articles and (b) an increase in all fields in the fraction of older, foundational references since the 1980s, with no obvious change in citing patterns associated with the introduction of the Internet. At the meso level we explore current (2006-2010) referencing behavior of different categories of authors (21,562 total) within each field, based on their academic age, productivity and collaborative practices. Contrary to some previous findings and expectations we find that senior researchers use references at the same rate as their junior colleagues, with similar rates of re-citation (use of same references in multiple papers). High Modified Price Index (MPI, which measures the speed of the research front more accurately than the traditional Price Index) of senior authors indicates that their research has the similar cutting-edge aspect as that of their younger colleagues. In all fields both the productive researchers and especially those who collaborate more use a significantly lower fraction of foundational references and have much higher MPI and lower re-citation rates, i.e., they are the ones pushing the research front regardless of researcher age. This paper introduces improved bibliometric methods to measure the speed of the research front, disambiguate lead authors in co-authored papers and decouple measures of productivity and collaboration.

This study assessed the prevalence and content policies of the most influential biomedical journals on misconduct and procedures for handling and responding to allegations of misconduct. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of misconduct policies of 399 high-impact biomedical journals in 27 biomedical categories of the Journal Citation Reports in December 2011. Journal websites were reviewed for information relevant to misconduct policies. Results: Of 399 journals, 140 (35.1%) provided explicit definitions of misconduct. Falsification was explicitly mentioned by 113 (28.3%) journals, fabrication by 104 (26.1%), plagiarism by 224 (56.1%), duplication by 242 (60.7%) and image manipulation by 154 (38.6%). Procedures for responding to misconduct were described in 179 (44.9%) websites, including retraction, (30.8%) and expression of concern (16.3%). Plagiarism-checking services were used by 112 (28.1%) journals. The prevalences of all types of misconduct policies were higher in journals that endorsed any policy from editors' associations, Office of Research Integrity or professional societies compared to those that did not state adherence to these policy-producing bodies. Elsevier and Wiley- Blackwell had the most journals included (22.6% and 14.8%, respectively), with Wiley journals having greater a prevalence of misconduct definition and policies on falsification, fabrication and expression of concern and Elsevier of plagiarism-checking services. Conclusions: Only a third of top-ranking peer-reviewed journals had publicly-available definitions of misconduct and less than a half described procedures for handling allegations of misconduct. As endorsement of international policies from policy-producing bodies was positively associated with implementation of policies and procedures, journals and their publishers should standardize their policies globally in order to increase public trust in the integrity of the published record in biomedicine.

DEC 19 2012. p.NIL_872-NIL_875 PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, SAN FRANCISCO SEARCH TERM(S): JOURNALS item_title KEYWORDS+: SCIENCE ABSTRACT: The pathophysiologic mechanisms behind urologic disease are increasingly being elucidated. The object of this investigation was to evaluate the publication policies of urologic journals during a period of progressively better understanding and management of urologic disease. Based on the ISI Web of Knowledge Journal Citation Reports and the PubMed database, the number and percentage of original experimental, original clinical, review or commentarial articles published between 2002-2010 in six leading urologic journals were analyzed. "British Journal of Urology International", "European Urology", "Urologic Oncology-Seminars and Original Investigations" ("Urologic Oncology"), "Urology", "The Journal of Urology", and "World Journal of Urology" were chosen, because these journals publish articles in all four categories. The publication policies of the six journals were very heterogeneous during the time period from 2002 to 2010. The percentage of original experimental and original clinical articles, related to all categories, remained the same in "British Journal of Urology International", "Urologic Oncology", "Urology" and "The Journal of Urology". The percentage of experimental reports in "World Journal of Urology" between 2002-2010 significantly increased from 10 to 20%. A distinct elevation in the percentage of commentarial articles accompanied by a reduction of clinical articles became evident in "European Urology" which significantly correlated with a large increase in the journal's impact factor. No clearly superior policy could be identified with regard to a general increase in the impact factors from all the journals. The publication policy of urologic journals does not expressly reflect the increase in scientific knowledge, which has occurred over the period 2002-2010. One way of increasing the exposure of urologists to research and expand the interface between experimental and clinical research, would be to enlarge the percentage of experimental articles published. There is no indication that such policy would be detrimental to a journal's impact factor.

MAY 2012. p.182-194 CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, CAMBRIDGE SEARCH TERM(S): ARUNACHALAM S rauth; MERTON RK rauth; MERTON RK SCIENCE 159:56 1968 ABSTRACT: Scientists work by collecting observable evidence of different phenomena, from which they analyse and construct theoretical explanations. Consequently, science involves systematic efforts to increase human knowledge, a phenomenon that is usually described as 'cumulativity'. Most scientists would probably agree that (excellent) research should be cumulative, and by this they usually mean that scientists should accommodate and refer to the publications of other scholars. This article suggests that our perception of science would benefit from a broader and more nuanced approach to cumulativity. The article therefore provides a discussion on how contemporary scholars can approach cumulativity by adopting the fundamental ideology of the web 2.0 and web squared concepts. A proposition for an altered approach is posited through web squared cumulativity conceptualization, involving a more open and collaborative approach. The discussion provides a foretaste of contemporary initiatives that suggest the spread of this emerging trend.

However, citation distributions are skewed, and the average has the disadvantage that the number of publications is used in the denominator. Using hundred percentiles, one can integrate the normalized citation curve and develop an indicator that can be compared across document sets because percentile ranks are defined at the article level. I apply this indicator to the set of 58 journals in the WoS Subject Category of "Nanoscience & nanotechnology," and rank journals, countries, cities, and institutes using non-parametric statistics. The significance levels of results can thus be indicated. The results are first compared with the ISI-impact factors, but this Integrated Impact Indicator (I3) can be used with any set downloaded from the (Social) Science Citation Index. The software is made publicly available at the Internet. Visualization techniques are also specified for evaluation by positioning institutes on Google Map overlays.

The study selected the field of electric vehicle technology to explore the phenomenon and examined the characteristics of PCNs in terms of the average BC strength and the average citation time lag. Four PCNs were constructed in this study. The aggregated PCN (APCN) excluded the irrelevant patent citations and added the relevant uncited patent citations, which has brought out significant improvement. The APCN became more concentrated and the information which reserved in the APCN was the most current. Additionally, some invisible technology clusters and relationships were also manifested in the APCN.

Then we further apply the proposed new model to the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology (N&N) for the purpose of analyzing the reciprocal dependence between S&T. The empirical results provide an understanding of the relationship between S&T and their dynamic potential of interdependence in the selected 20 leading universities in the field of N&N. We find that at present nanotechnology depends mainly on the scientific-push rather than the technology-pull and nanotechnology is science-based field. In contrast, a parallel development of the technology is not visible. Policy implications are at last put forward based on the several interesting findings for the interaction mechanisms between S&T in the field.

Our main goal is to solve the citation bias caused by different geographical locations of citations. We empirically investigate spatial properties of citing distances, citation patterns and spatial diversity to understand geographical knowledge diffusion, based on the data from "Transportation Science and Technology" subject category in the Web of Science (1966- 2009). We also compare the proposed ranking method with other bibliometric measures, and conduct a case study to figure out the recent ranks of the well-established authors in Transportation research. It is found that the SDCR of a focal author is highly correlated with the sum of spatial diversity weights ("strength") of all his in-links, and it is better to set the damping factors smaller than 0.75 when ranking authors with various initial academic years by SDCR. The cases show that Hong Kong is becoming a cluster in Transportation research.

We compared the citations to full papers versus brief reports in a sample of journals on Infectious Diseases, Clinical Microbiology, and Antimicrobial Agents. Brief reports were cited less often than full-size articles [regression coefficient: 10.94 (95 % CI: 5.19, 16.69)] even after adjustment for the journal's impact factor. Our findings may influence decisions of editors and authors regarding brief reports.

JAN 2013. p.207-224 SPRINGER, DORDRECHT SEARCH TERM(S): SHER IH rauth; SHER IH J CHEM DOCUMENTATION 6:132 1966 KEYWORDS: Address identification; Data mining; Automatic standardization; Performance evaluation; Bibliographic databases KEYWORDS+: NAMES ABSTRACT: A new semi-automatic method is presented to standardize or codify addresses, in order to produce bibliometric indicators from bibliographic databases. The hypothesis is that this new method is very trustworthy to normalize authors' addresses, easy and quick to obtain. As a way to test the method, a set of already hand-coded data is chosen to verify its reliability: 136,821 Spanish documents (2006-2008) downloaded previously from the Web of Science database. Unique addresses from this set were selected to produce a list of keywords representing various institutional sectors. Once the list of terms is obtained, addresses are standardized with this information and the result is compared to the previous hand-coded data. Some tests are done to analyze possible association between both systems (automatic and hand-coding), calculating measures of recall and precision, and some statistical directional and symmetric measures. The outcome shows a good relation between both methods. Although these results are quite general, this overview of institutional sectors is a good way to develop a second approach for the selection of particular centers. This system has some new features because it provides a method based on the previous non-existence of master lists or tables and it has a certain impact on the automation of tasks. The validity of the hypothesis has been proved taking into account not only the statistical measures, but also considering that the obtaining of general and detailed scientific output is less time- consuming and will be even less due to the feedback of these master tables reused for the same kind of data. The same method could be used with any country and/or database creating a new master list taking into account their specific characteristics.

We take the resource-based theory (RBT) as an example to demonstrate the usefulness of this methodology. Several survey studies have provided valuable summarization and commentaries to the RBT from different perspectives. These analyses are useful and pertinent for understanding the development of RBT. However, limited by the methodologies they used, previous scholars can only select part of the RBT literature to conduct the survey work. To eliminate the limitation, this study develops an innovative approach which can handle thousands of articles. This study analyzes a dataset including 2,105 theoretical developments, empirical studies, and review papers to explore the knowledge diffusion path of the RBT. Citation data are used to build the citation network. Main paths are then probed and visualized via social network analysis methodology. To figure out the total picture of the knowledge diffusion path, this study integrates various main path analyses to supplement the traditional approach. The traditional main path analysis investigates the knowledge diffusion from a local view. The global analysis provides a main path from a macro view. The key-route analysis helps explore and clarify a complete picture of the convergence-divergence phenomena. We believe that through this novel tool, new researchers can easily identify the papers that have made major contributions to RBT knowledge diffusion and uncover the interrelationships among them.

In order to highlight the sensitivity of citation orderings with respect to concentration aversion, an application to both simulated and real citation profiles is presented.

Starting with just seven publications in the year 2000, this number has steadily increased to 542 for the year 2011. Among the top 15 institutions with publications in nanotechnology 13 are universities and only two are R&D organizations. Almost 35 % of the research publications are in the field of material sciences followed by chemistry and physics in that order. The growth in the publications for period 2000-2011 is studied through relative growth rate and doubling time. The authorship pattern is measured by different collaboration parameters, like collaborative index, degree of collaboration, collaboration coefficient and modified collaboration coefficient. Finally the quality of papers is assessed by means of the h-index, g-index, hg-index and p-index.

Bibliometric analyses of research producers, products and consumption over time can be used to describe the evolution of health professions as captured in professional journal publications. Numerous bibliometric studies have been conducted however few have sampled nursing and allied health professional journals. This is despite a growing health workforce and socioeconomic pressures. The aim of this study was to use bibliometric analyses to track change in the producers, products and consumption of seven Australian nursing and allied health professional journals from 1985 through 2010. An analysis of all original research articles published in these journals was performed using a reliable bibliometric audit tool. Articles were sampled every 3 months and at 5 year intervals over a 25 year period. Information relating to authorship, the research methods used and citation patterns was collected. Data were analysed descriptively. Over the study period, all journals shifted towards publishing research that used higher study designs, reported more quantitative data, and were authored by larger research teams. The rate at which this transition occurred (greater evidence base, quantitation and collaboration) differed among the journals sampled. The changes seen in the research published in these journals are likely to be a function of the strategic purpose of each publication (to its professional readership) as well as reflect wider socioeconomic phenomena. Therefore these trends are likely to continue in the future.

JAN 2013. p.397-421 SPRINGER, DORDRECHT SEARCH TERM(S): HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005 KEYWORDS: Location; Knowledge diffusion; Brokerages; Network position; DEA method KEYWORDS+: PATENT CITATIONS; INDEX; DIVERSIFICATION; SPILLOVERS; INNOVATION; EUROPE ABSTRACT: To facilitate technology development, people rely on quick and intensive knowledge interactions without barriers. However, when people need to transfer knowledge from one place to another, geographical distance is a critical barrier to overcome because tacit and invisible characteristics are embedded in certain knowledge and locations. This study explores how social and scientific resources embedded within persons can motivate personal knowledge-diffusion behaviors; that is, bridging resources between locations. To explain cross-border diffusion, this work analyzes knowledge dissemination of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. By collecting theoretical and application papers in DEA methodology from the Web of Science data set, this study analyzes the academic network consisting of 610 researchers and identifies author locations, research disciplines, and their mutual linkages to explain the importance of personal specific characteristics in cross-border diffusion. Regression models and network analysis show the advantages of personal research seniority and cross-disciplinary coordinating capabilities for researchers to diffuse knowledge from one region to another. The corresponding brokering capabilities accumulated within domestic area or adjacent nations are also helpful for specifically brokering resources of other farther places.

JAN 2013. p.423-438 SPRINGER, DORDRECHT SEARCH TERM(S): PRICE DJD rauth KEYWORDS: Collaboration; Solar cell; PV system; Paper; Patent KEYWORDS+: QUALITY; SCIENCE; AUTHORSHIP ABSTRACT: This study attempts to explore collaborations in the field of solar cell science and technology, focusing on the productivity and citations of papers and patents at the global and country levels. This study finds that most papers and patents are collaborative efforts, however, the rate of collaboration is higher for papers. In particular, international collaboration is not common in patents. In terms of performance, international collaborations have shown the best performance overall if looking at trends that cover the 30 years from 1980 to 2009, but the performance of single-authored papers has been better in the more recent ten-year period, 2000-2009. At the country level, we found that most countries have higher rates of international collaboration with greater numbers in papers and patents. Asian countries such as Japan, Taiwan and India have significant citation performance with high ratios for domestic collaboration; the rates are even greater than the average ratio for international collaboration.

The paper focuses on the robustness of rankings of academic journal quality and research impact using the widely-used Thomson Reuters ISI Web of Science citations database (ISI) for the Statistics & Probability category. The paper analyses 110 ISI international journals in Statistics & Probability using quantifiable research assessment measures (RAMs), and highlights the similarities and differences in various RAMs, which are based on alternative transformations of citations and influence. Alternative RAMs may be calculated annually or updated daily to determine when, where and how (frequently) published papers are cited (see Chang, McAleer and Oxley (2011a, b, c), Chang, Maasoumi and McAleer (2012)). The RAMs are grouped in four distinct classes that include impact factor, mean citations and non-citations, journal policy, number of high quality papers, and journal influence and article influence. These classes include the most widely used RAMs, namely the classic 2-year impact factor including journal self citations (2YIF), 2-year impact factor excluding journal self citations (2YIF*), 5-year impact factor including journal self citations (5YIF), Eigenfactor (or Journal Influence), Article Influence, h-index, PI-BETA (Papers Ignored By Even The Authors), 5YD2 (= 5YIF/2YIF) as a measure of citations longevity, and escalating self citations as a measure of increasing journal self citations. The paper highlights robust rankings based on the harmonic mean of the ranks of RAMs across the 4 classes. It is shown that focusing solely on the 2YIF of a journal, which partly answers the question as to when published papers are cited, to the exclusion of other informative RAMs, which answer where and how (frequently) published papers are cited, can lead to a distorted evaluation of journal quality, impact and influence relative to the more robust harmonic mean of the ranks.

This paper uses corporate governance (an academic area in business) as an example of an interdisciplinary research area. A core list of journals is developed using citations from Corporate Governance: An International Review, that demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of corporate governance research. This core list can be used by both corporate governance academics and business librarians to help justify faculty publishing decisions. The process devised for developing a core list is applicable to other interdisciplinary areas. The paper concludes by exploring the implications of departmental journal lists and provides suggestions for both faculty and librarians.

Study design: We performed a bibliometric analysis of the identified scholarly articles, their journals, and citations. In addition, we performed a qualitative review of the full-text articles and grant documents. Data collection/extraction methods: Papers published by AHRQ-funded investigators were retrieved from MEDLINE, journal impact factors were extracted from the 2010 Thompson Reuters Journal Citation Report, citations were retrieved from ISI's Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar. Principal findings.: Seventy-two articles met the criteria for review. Most articles addressed one or more of AHRQ's outcome goals and focus priorities. The average impact factor for the journals was 4.005 (range: 0.654-28.899). The articles, and their respective grants, represented a broad range of health information technologies. Conclusions.: This set of AHRQ-funded research projects addressed the goals and priorities of AHRQ, indicating notable contributions to the scientific knowledge base on the impact of information system use in healthcare.

It turns out that the test is very conservative and has wide acceptance regions, which puts in question the appropriateness of the h- index usage in scientific quality control and decision making.

A Bayesian approach to the problem, should reflect not only the current prestige of a journal, but also taking into account its recent trajectory. In this wide context, credibility theory becomes an adequate mechanism deciding whether journal's impact factor calculation to be more or less plausible. Under prior belief that journal quality is determined by its impact factor, we model the citation-quality process by choosing a conjugated family of the exponential class in order to obtain a net impact credibility formula. Proposed weighting schema produces the effect of smoothing out any sudden increases or decreases in the year-by-year impact factor. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper I prove that the two parameters can be treated separately: the index h can be axiomatized by appealing (1) only to axioms that allow for productivity changes, but do not require taking into account distinct situations in which a researcher's papers received different numbers of citations or (2) only to axioms that allow for changes in the number of citations received by the researcher's papers, but do not require changes in scientific productivity. The axioms used are weak. Specifically, monotonicity is avoided. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The former two functions have previously been proposed in the literature whereas the remaining three are novel and are derived following the concepts of growth kinetics of crystals in the presence of additives which act as inhibitors of growth. Analysis of the data of citation distribution of papers of the authors revealed that the value of the goodness-of-the-fit parameter R-2 was the highest for the empirical binomial relation, it was high and comparable for stretched exponential and Langmuir-type functions, relatively low for power law but it was the lowest for the logarithmic function. In the Langmuir-type function a parameter K, defined as Langmuir constant, characterizing the citation behavior of the authors has been identified. Based on the Langmuir-type function an expression for cumulative citations L relating the extrapolated value of citations l(0) corresponding to rank n = 0 for an author and his/her constant K and the number N of paper receiving citation l >= 1 is also proposed.

JAN 2013. p.63-71 ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, AMSTERDAM SEARCH TERM(S): HIRSCH JE P NATL ACAD SCI USA 102:16569 2005 KEYWORDS: g-Index; h-Index; Field independence; Universality; Power- law distributions; Lognormal distributions KEYWORDS+: HIRSCH-INDEX; H-INDEX; RESEARCHERS; AUTHORSHIP; IMPACT; OUTPUT ABSTRACT: Using the dataset based on Thomson Reuters Scientific "Web of Science" the distributions of some well-known indicators, such as h-index and g-index, were investigated, and different citation behaviors across different scientific fields resulting from their field dependences were found. To develop a field-independent index, two scaling methods, based on average citation of subject category and journal, were used to normalize the citation received by each paper of a certain author. The distributions of the generalized h-indices in different fields were found to follow a lognormal function with mean and standard deviation of approximately -0.8 and 0.8, respectively. A field-independent index fi- index was then proposed, and its distribution was found to satisfy a universal power-law function with scaling exponent alpha approaching 3.0. Both the power-law and the lognormal universality of the distributions verified the field independence of these indicators. However, deciding which of the scaling methods is the better one is necessary for the validation of the field-independent index. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The possible change of the h-index, A-index, R-index, pi-index, pi-rate, Journal Paper Citedness ( JPC), and Citation Distribution Score (CDS) is followed by models. Particular attention is given to the increase of the indices by a single plus citation. The results obtained by the " successively built-up indicator" model show that with increasing number of citations or self- citations the indices may increase substantially. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The times cited approach counts the citations of a given publication set. In contrast, we change the perspective and start by selecting all papers dealing with a specific research topic or field (the example in this study is research on Aspirin). Then we extract all cited references from the papers of this field-specific publication set and analyse which papers, scientists, and journals have been cited most often. In this study, we use the Chemical Abstracts registry number to select the publications for a specific field. However, the cited reference approach can be used with any other field classification system proposed up to now. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

However, not all citations are equally relevant to the target article. This paper presents an approach to identify the most relevant citation(s). To this end, the Normalized Similarity Index (NSI) is proposed to quantify the similarity between the source and target of a citation base on the co-citations and references shared by them. To validate the method, NSI was calculated for five citation networks and was compared with the peer review grades for the relevancy between the source and the target articles. The results showed a significant correlation between the NSI ranks and those of peer review. Also, combined linkage (CL) and weighted direct citation (WDC) were calculated from the same data. According to the results of comparison between the NSI with other similarity measures, in most cases, NSI did better than others at reproducing the peer rankings. Our principal conclusion is that the NSI can be used to prioritize the citations of given highly cited article, and represent knowledge flow from the target article. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

(2012, Scientometrics 92( 3), 621-641) propose to classify a publication as "successful" when it receives more citations than a specific comparison term (CT). In the intention of the authors CT should be a suitable estimate of the number of citations that a publication - in a certain scientific context and period of time - should potentially achieve. According to this definition, the success-index is defined as the number of successful papers, among a group of publications examined, such as those associated to a scientist or a journal. In the first part of the paper, the success-index is recalled, discussing its properties and limitations. Next, relying on the theory of Information Production Processes (IPPs), an informetric model of the index is formulated, for a better comprehension of the index and its properties. Particular emphasis is given to a theoretical sensitivity analysis of the index. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Data were obtained from 379 active knowledge management and intellectual capital researchers who rated 25 journals on a 7-point scale. Five different versions of the survey instrument were utilized. Consistent with the cognitive elaboration model, the satisficing theory, and the Gricean maxim of orderliness, order-effect bias was observed in journal ranking surveys. Journals that appear in the beginning of the ranking list delivered to survey respondents consistently receive higher scores than journals at the end of the list. Overall, the position of the journal in the list explains over 10% of its score. Therefore, authors of journal ranking studies are recommended to use multiple versions of the survey instrument with randomized journal orders. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This study also investigates how researchers can resurrect lapsed URL citations cited in research articles, using Wayback machine. A total of 1290 URLs cited in 472 research articles published in Indian LIS journals spanning a period of 9 years (2002-2010) were extracted. Study found that only 18.91% (1290 out of 6820) of URLs cited in these journal articles. 39.84% of URL citations were not accessible and remaining 60.15% of URL citations were still accessible. The HTTP 404 error message-" page not found" was the overwhelming message encountered and represented 54.86% of all HTTP error messages. However 51.06% URLs were recovered from HTTP 404 error message. Study also noticed that the half-life of URL citations was increased from 6.33 years to 13.85 years after recovering missing URLs from Wayback machine. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Percentiles have a number of advantages over standard bibliometric indicators used frequently: for example, their calculation is not based on the arithmetic mean which should not be used for skewed bibliometric data. This study describes the opportunities and limits and the advantages and disadvantages of using percentiles in bibliometrics. We also address problems in the calculation of percentiles and percentile rank classes for which there is not (yet) a satisfactory solution. It will be hard to compare the results of different percentile- based studies with each other unless it is clear that the studies were done with the same choices for percentile calculation and rank assignment.

The individual h-index is strongly correlated with the square root of the total citations Nc: h approximate to 0.53 NC. For academic ages ranging from 12 to 24 years, the distribution of the time scaled index h/ sic AA is approximately time-independent and it is well described by the Gompertz function. The time scaled index h/ sic AA has an average approximately equal to 3.8 and a standard deviation approximately equal to 1.6. Finally, the time scaled index h/ sic AA appears to be strongly correlated with the contemporary h-index hc. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Dynamic changes in the three independent ratios RH, SH and SZ are studied for six selected topics. Data about these topics are obtained from the Web of Science for scientific papers and Derwent Innovations Index for technical patents. It is observed that all RH-and SH-values decrease when the time span widens, while SZ stays the same or increases; and that all RH- and SH-values for papers are larger than the corresponding values for patents. The shifted Lotka distribution is used in a theoretical interpretation of these empirical phenomena. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

For researchers in the life sciences, common practice is to indicate such contributions through position in the authors list. In this work, we measure the distortion introduced to bibliometric ranking lists for scientific productivity when the number of co-authors or their position in the list is ignored. The field of observation consists of all Italian university professors working in the life sciences, with scientific production examined over the period 2004-2008. The outcomes of the study lead to a recommendation against using indicators or evaluation methods that ignore the different authors' contributions to the research results. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The publication outputs of seven major industrialized countries including Canada, France, Japan, Germany, Italy, the UK, and the USA were compared with China. Annual production, field performance, research emphases and trends, top articles, as well as main institutional and individual contributors by its top cited articles were analyzed. Some newly developed indicators related to words in title, author keywords, KeyWords Plus, first author, corresponding author, and Y-index were employed to provide in-depth information on topic and author contributions. Results showed that China has been closing the gap with the USA with the greatest growth, and has stood the second since 2006. Most top cited articles were published in 2000s, made up approximately seven tenths of total articles. Pronounced activities were found in chemistry and physics related categories. The core categories included multidisciplinary chemistry, physical chemistry, multidisciplinary materials science, and applied physics. Moreover, China's performance of nanotechnology and science, especially carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanostructures showed dramatic growth. Six top articles with at least 1000 citations were examined, and were observed to concern medicine, nanotube, and adsorption. In addition, main contributing institutions and authors were also revealed and evaluated. Chinese Academy of Sciences played a dominant role, and Tsinghua University, Peking University and five universities in Hong Kong showed good scientific performance. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

We prove that c-index observe the power law distribution in the weighted scale-free network. A case study of a very large scientific collaboration network indicates that the indexes proposed in this paper are different from other common centrality measures (degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, eigenvector centrality and node strength) and other h-type indexes (lobby-index, w-lobby index and h- degree). The c-index and its derivative indexes proposed in this paper comprehensively utilize the amount of nodes' neighbors, link strengths and centrality information of neighbor nodes to measure the centrality of a node, composing a new unique centrality measure for collaborative competency.

The authors of these studies concluded that the burden of a disease was a good predictor for its associated research funding. However, previous analyses did not take into account diseases that mainly affect people living in low income regions, i.e. so-called diseases of poverty. Moreover, the analyses were only performed for the burden diseases cause in high income countries. We investigated whether the conclusions about the relationship between burden and funding still holds when (1) including diseases of poverty and (2) accounting for the burden of diseases in low income countries. We found that the relationship between the burden and the level of diseases specific funding decreases for people living in low income countries. We find the best predictor for the level of funding to be the mortality in high income countries. In contrast to previous studies, we were able to include more diseases into our analyses (74). This enabled us to discover differences in funding levels between and within groups of diseases. we found that research on cancers was over funded with respect to the associated burden. In contrast, diseases of poverty systematically receive less funding than would be expected based on their burden. Other groups of diseases (cardiovascular diseases and mental illnesses) contained both over and under funded diseases. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Research and publications are increasing in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM). Hence, there appears to be a multifaceted and challenging turnover in our scientific niche involving authors, editors, publishers and readers in a complex interplay. Aim. To explore the manuscript submission process from the side of the authors, and to better understand their perceptions and preferences. Design. A survey study. Setting. E-mail and personal contact. Population. European researchers working in the field of PRM. Methods. A questionnaire was specifically prepared for this study. The first part included questions regarding personal and scientific background; in the second part the attendants rated 20 items (with respect to several journal characteristics) on a 4-point semantic differential scale; and the third part contained two open ended questions regarding additional factors that the authors considered during submission. Results. Area of interest (mission and contents) of the journal within the "Rehabilitation" category, absolute impact factor of the journal, match between perceived "quality" of their study and journal impact factor were considered to be the three most important factors by the authors. Conclusion. In a scientific environment where the numbers of research and publication outlets alike are growing, it is important to understand how authors choose where to publish their papers.

DEC 13 2012. p.NIL_6-NIL_12 BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, LONDON SEARCH TERM(S): GARFIELD E rauth KEYWORDS: Molecular structure; Chemical databases; Systematic chemical identifiers; Quality control; InChI; SMILES; IUPAC KEYWORDS+: CHEMISTRY DATABASES; CURATION; STANDARD; QUALITY; SMILES ABSTRACT: Background: Correctness of structures and associated metadata within public and commercial chemical databases greatly impacts drug discovery research activities such as quantitative structure- property relationships modelling and compound novelty checking. MOL files, SMILES notations, IUPAC names, and InChI strings are ubiquitous file formats and systematic identifiers for chemical structures. While interchangeable for many cheminformatics purposes there have been no studies on the inconsistency of these structure identifiers due to various approaches for data integration, including the use of different software and different rules for structure standardisation. We have investigated the consistency of systematic identifiers of small molecules within and between some of the commonly used chemical resources, with and without structure standardisation. Results: The consistency between systematic chemical identifiers and their corresponding MOL representation varies greatly between data sources (37.2%-98.5%). We observed the lowest overall consistency for MOL- IUPAC names. Disregarding stereochemistry increases the consistency (84.8% to 99.9%). A wide variation in consistency also exists between MOL representations of compounds linked via cross-references (25.8% to 93.7%). Removing stereochemistry improved the consistency (47.6% to 95.6%). Conclusions: We have shown that considerable inconsistency exists in structural representation and systematic chemical identifiers within and between databases. This can have a great influence especially when merging data and if systematic identifiers are used as a key index for structure integration or cross-querying several databases. Regenerating systematic identifiers starting from their MOL representation and applying well-defined and documented chemistry standardisation rules to all compounds prior to creating them can dramatically increase internal consistency.
