Abstract:
We collected the *impact factor* (IF) and 5-year *impact factor* (5-IF) of 1058 medical journals in SCI-expanded database, and explore their changes with the increase of publication frequency (PF). 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.

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.

Title:
Contribution of Genome-Wide Association Studies to Scientific Research: A Bibliometric Survey of the Citation Impacts of GWAS and Candidate Gene Studies Published during the Same Period and in the Same Journals

Abstract:
In genetic epidemiology, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are used to rapidly scan a large set of genetic variants and thus to identify associations with a particular trait or disease. 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.

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.

Title: Sri Lanka S & T output during 2001-2010: A scientometric asssessment
Authors: Gupta, BM
Author Full Names: Gupta, B. M.

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.

Abstract:
This paper outlines 10 years of experiences concerning the inception and operation of the Thai-Journal Citation Index (TCI) Centre, which was the first national citation centre in Thailand and also in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), founded in 2001. 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.

Abstract:
We collected the impact factor (IF) and 5-year impact factor (5-IF) of 1058 medical journals in SCI-expanded database, and explore their changes with the increase of publication frequency (PF). 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.

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.

Abstract:
Background: Internal medicine includes several subspecialties. 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.

Abstract:
The aim was to obtain patients' experiences of the cancer treatment pathway at a tertiary teaching hospital using unstructured journals to enable health care professionals to be educated on how to improve patient care. 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.

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.

Abstract:
Innovation is becoming increasingly popular as a concept as well as a field of 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.

Abstract:
. 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.

Abstract:
The complexity and variety of bibliographic data is growing, and efforts to define new methodologies and techniques for bibliometric analysis are intensifying. 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.

Abstract:
We define a normalized impact factor (NIF) suitable for assessing in a simple way both the strength of scientific communities and the research influence of individuals. 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.

Abstract:
Classifying journals or publications into research areas is an essential element of many bibliometric analyses. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract:
Objective: To conduct a bibliometric analysis of eating disorder journals to guide journal readers and researchers when submitting their manuscripts.
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. (c) 2012 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract:
Business intelligence and analytics (BI&A) has emerged as an important area of study for both practitioners and researchers, reflecting the magnitude and impact of data-related problems to be solved in contemporary business organizations. 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.

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. Overall, very few articles received 50 or more citations. This study shows that research!
ers need to consider more than one ranking method when deciding where to send or publish their research.

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.

Abstract:
We propose a new method to assess the merit of any set of scientific papers in a given field based on the citations they receive. 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.

Abstract:
Purpose: This study compares the articles cited in CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), and Google Scholar and the h-index ratings provided by Scopus, WOS, and Google Scholar.
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).

Abstract:
In this paper we propose a new family of cumulative indexes for measuring scientific performance which can be applied to many metrics, including h index and its variants (here we apply it to the h index, h(2) index and Google Scholar's i10 index). 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.

Abstract:
In the individual assessment of a scientific performance, five scientometric indices have been used most: the h-index, the index g, the h-major index, the contemporary h-index and the normalized h-index. 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.

Abstract:
In this paper, the method to detect the future highly-cited papers (HCPs) in citation network was discussed. 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.

ABSTRACT: With the prevalence of Internet and digital archives, the
online e-journal database facilitates scholars to search literature in a
research domain, or to cross-search an inter-disciplined field; the key
literature can be efficiently traced out. 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.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this study was to conduct a
normative assessment of the research productivity and scholarly impact of
tenured and tenure-track faculty in school psychology programs accredited
by the American Psychological Association (APA). 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.

ABSTRACT: As an essential part of knowledge development, research
collaboration inspires knowledge acquisition and dissemination. As such,
it attracts an increasing amount of interest from academic researchers.
This article applies social network analysis to the investigation of
research collaborations among tourism and hospitality scholars. Using
articles published in six leading tourism and hospitality journals from
1991 to 2010, the empirical findings provide an overview of research
collaborations in this field in terms of coauthorship networks. This
study identifies some critical scholars in tourism and hospitality
research collaborations. Result of a linear regression shows that
research collaborations are significantly associated with researchers'
research outputs. This article also proposes a new method to evaluate
researchers' collaboration strategies on extroversive collaboration and
introversive collaboration.

ABSTRACT: Past studies of citation coverage of Web of Science,
Scopus, and Google Scholar do not demonstrate a consistent pattern that
can be applied to the interdisciplinary mix of resources used in social
work research. 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.

ABSTRACT: Aims Through a 4-year follow-up of the abstracts
submitted to the European Society of Cardiology Congress in 2006, we
aimed at identifying factors predicting high-quality research, appraising
the quality of the peer review and editorial processes, and thereby
revealing potential ways to improve future research, peer review, and
editorial work.
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.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: In recent years, significant growth has been
seen in the subspecialty critical care medicine. 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

ABSTRACT: Background: The past 3 decades have witnessed a boost in
science development in China; in parallel, more and more Chinese
scientific journals are indexed by the Journal Citation Reports issued by
Thomson Reuters (SCI). 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.
