Methods: The search affiliation feature of the PubMed database was used to search for publications in 3 general radiology journals with high Impact Factors, originating at radiology departments in the United States affiliated with residency training programs. The distribution of the number of publications among departments was examined using chi(2) test statistics to determine whether it followed a Pareto or a Gaussian distribution more closely. Results: A total of 14,219 publications contributed since 1987 by faculty members in 163 departments with residency programs were available for assessment. The data acquired were more consistent with a Pareto (chi(2) = 80.4) than a Gaussian (chi(2) = 659.5) distribution. The mean number of publications for departments was 79.9 +/- 146 (range, 0-943). The median number of publications was 16.5. The majority (>50%) of major radiology publications from academic departments with residency programs originated in <10% (n = 15 of 178) of such departments. Fifteen programs likewise produced no publications in the surveyed journals. Conclusion: The number of publications in journals with high Impact Factors published by academic radiology departments more closely fits a Pareto rather than a normal distribution.

Are there differences compared with articles published in journals with a somewhat lower impact factor that have adopted editorial policies to reduce the impact of limitations of Null Hypothesis Significance Testing? To investigate these questions, the current study analyzed all articles related to psychological, neuropsychological and medical issues, published in 2011 in four journals with high impact factors: Science, Nature, The New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet, and three journals with relatively lower impact factors: Neuropsychology, Journal of Experimental Psychology Applied and the American Journal of Public Health. Results show that Null Hypothesis Significance Testing without any use of confidence intervals, effect size, prospective power and model estimation, is the prevalent statistical practice used in articles published in Nature, 89%, followed by article! s published in Science, 42%. By contrast, in all other journals, both with high and lower impact factors, most articles report confidence intervals and/or effect size measures. We interpreted these differences as consequences of the editorial policies adopted by the journal editors, which are probably the most effective means to improve the statistical practices in journals with high or low impact factors.

Using a bibliometric approach, this paper analyzes KM and DM research trends, forecasts and citations from 1989 to 2009 by locating headings "knowledge management" and "data mining" in topics in the SSCI database. The bibliometric analytical technique was used to examine these two topics in SSCI journals from 1989 to 2009, we found 1393 articles with KM and 1181 articles with DM. This paper implemented and classified KM and DM articles using the following eight categories publication year, citation, country/territory, document type, institute name, language, source title and subject area for different distribution status in order to explore the differences and how KM and DM technologies have developed in this period and to analyze KM and DM technology tendencies under the a! bove result. Also, the paper performs the K-S test to check whether the distribution of author article production follows Lotka's law. The research findings can be extended to investigate author productivity by analyzing variables such as chronological and academic age, number and frequency of previous publications, access to research grants, job status, etc. In such a way characteristics of high, medium and low publishing activity of authors can be identified. Besides, these findings will also help to judge scientific research trends and understand the scale of development of research in KM and DM through comparing the increases of the article author. Based on the above information, governments and enterprises may infer collective tendencies and demands for scientific researcher in KM and DM to formulate appropriate training strategies and policies in the future. This analysis provides a roadmap for future research, abstracts technology trend information and facilitates kn! owledge accumulations, therefore the future research can conce! ntrated in core categories. This implies that the phenomenon "success breeds success" is more common in higher quality publications. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Karr's paper 'Assessment of biotic integrity using fish communities' provided the first description of a multimetric procedure to assess the biotic integrity of aquatic ecosystems. To assess the contribution of the Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) and ideas proposed by Karr for the management of aquatic ecosystems, we carried out a scientometric analysis of the papers published from 1981 to 2011 that cited Karr's study. The papers were obtained from Thomson Reuters' database (ISI Web of Knowledge) in October 2011. We used all papers that cited 'Karr, 1981' to assess temporal trends in citations and to identify which journals cited the index most frequently. A total of 93 papers were selected from the two journals that most frequently cited Karr's study, namely Hydrobiologia and Ecological Indicators. For each paper selected, we determined whether the study was empirical, theoretical, or methodological. For empirical papers we assessed the type of environment! where the study was carried out, the indicator organisms used, and whether the IBI was applied. To identify which ideas suggested by Karr have been discussed in the literature, we assessed all papers found. In the time frame studied, 734 papers cited 'Karr, 1981'. The number of citations increased significantly with time. Most papers that cited 'Karr, 1981' were empirical, carried out in rivers and streams, and used fish as bioindicators. The main ideas discussed in these studies were related to the creation and use of the IBI, as well as to limitations and difficulties in its application. Our results suggest that the ideas proposed by Karr have contributed to the conservation of aquatic ecosystems. However, criteria for choosing different metrics, as well as the definition of reference conditions, are issues that need to be addressed in order to make the IBI a more robust index.

Source: JOURNAL OF CARDIOTHORACIC AND VASCULAR ANESTHESIA, 27 (2):208-212; 10.1053/j.jvca.2012.08.022 APR 2013 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: anesthesia journals, bibliometrics, research, scholarship, scientific publication KeyWords Plus: CLINICAL-RESEARCH; PHYSICIAN SCIENTISTS; REPRESENTATION; PROGRAMS; QUALITY; TRENDS Abstract: Objective: The bibliometrics of the anesthesiology literature has shifted substantially during the past 3 decades. The present authors analyzed the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia (JCVA) at selected time intervals from 1990 to 2011 to quantify temporal variations in geographic publication patterns. The authors also determined whether previously described reductions in North American research productivity were accompanied by similar decreases in the number of other forms of publication in JCVA. Design: An observational study. Setting: Internet analysis. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: The number of research articles, case reports and conferences, review articles, and letters in each issue of the journal were quantified in each of 4 time intervals consisting of consecutive 4-year periods (1990-1993, 1996-1999, 2002-2005, and 2008-2011). Forty-three countries published a total of 2,587 articles (ie, 1,141 research articles, 735 case reports, 175 review articles, and 536 letters) during the 4 time periods examined. Progressive decreases in the percentage of research articles, case reports, and letters, but not review articles, from North America were observed over time. Significant increases in the percentage of research articles and letters contributed by European authors in 2008 to 2011 were observed compared with 1990 to 1993. The percentage of all publications from the Middle East and Australasia increased significantly, whereas South America and Africa were relatively minor contributors to JCVA throughout the study period. Conclusions: The present bibliometric analysis indicates that JCVA has changed from a journal that primarily published work from countries in North America and Europe to one in which the Middle East and Australasia now make a substantial number of contributions. These results suggest that JCVA has evolved into a truly international journal since its inception in 1987. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The number of citations received by any article is seen as a function of the article's scientific influence, and the field to which it belongs. A key assumption is that articles in the same quantile of any field citation distribution have the same degree of citation impact in their respective field. Using a dataset of 4.4 million articles published in 1998-2003 with a five-year citation window, we estimate that differences in citation practices between the 22 fields account for 14% of overall citation inequality. Our empirical strategy is based on the strong similarities found in the behavior of citation distributions. We obtain three m! ain results. Firstly, we estimate a set of average-based indicators, called exchange rates, to express the citations received by any article in a large interval in terms of the citations received in a reference situation. Secondly, using our exchange rates as normalization factors of the raw citation data reduces the effect of differences in citation practices to, approximately, 2% of overall citation inequality in the normalized citation distributions. Thirdly, we provide an empirical explanation of why the usual normalization procedure based on the fields' mean citation rates is found to be equally successful.

InCites offers a unique opportunity to study the normalized citation impacts of countries using (i) a long publication window (1981 to 2010), (ii) a differentiation in (broad or more narrow) subject areas, and (iii) allowing for the use of statistical procedures in order to obtain an insightful investigation of national citation trends across the years. Using four broad categories, our results show significantly increasing trends in citation impact values for France, the UK, and especially Germany across the last thirty years in all areas. The citation impact of papers from China is still at a relatively low level (mostly below the world average), but the country follows an increasing trend line. The USA exhibits a stable pattern of high citation impact values acr! oss the years. With small impact differences between the publication years, the US trend is increasing in engineering and technology but decreasing in medical and health sciences as well as in agricultural sciences. Similar to the USA, Japan follows increasing as well as decreasing trends in different subject areas, but the variability across the years is small. In most of the years, papers from Japan perform below or approximately at the world average in each subject area.

Karr's paper 'Assessment of biotic integrity using fish communities' provided the first description of a multimetric procedure to assess the biotic integrity of aquatic ecosystems. To assess the contribution of the Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) and ideas proposed by Karr for the management of aquatic ecosystems, we carried out a *scientometric* analysis of the papers published from 1981 to 2011 that cited Karr's study. The papers were obtained from Thomson Reuters' database (ISI Web of Knowledge) in October 2011. We used all papers that cited 'Karr, 1981' to assess temporal trends in citations and to identify which journals cited the index most frequently. A total of 93 papers were selected from the two journals that most frequently cited Karr's study, namely Hydrobiologia and Ecological Indicators. For each paper selected, we determined whether the study was empirical, theoretical, or methodological. For empirical papers we assessed the type of environme! nt where the study was carried out, the indicator organisms used, and whether the IBI was applied. To identify which ideas suggested by Karr have been discussed in the literature, we assessed all papers found. In the time frame studied, 734 papers cited 'Karr, 1981'. The number of citations increased significantly with time. Most papers that cited 'Karr, 1981' were empirical, carried out in rivers and streams, and used fish as bioindicators. The main ideas discussed in these studies were related to the creation and use of the IBI, as well as to limitations and difficulties in its application. Our results suggest that the ideas proposed by Karr have contributed to the conservation of aquatic ecosystems. However, criteria for choosing different metrics, as well as the definition of reference conditions, are issues that need to be addressed in order to make the IBI a more robust index.

Using a dataset affirm size variables, that is, tangible fixed assets K, the number of workers L, and sales Y, we confirm that these variables have power-law tails with different exponents, and that inversion symmetry and Gibrat's law hold. Based on these findings, we argue that there exists a plane in the three dimensional space (log K, log L, logy), with respect to which the joint probability density function for the three variables is invariant under the exchange of variables. We provide empirical evidence suggesting that this plane fits the data well, and argue that the plane can be interpreted as the Cobb Douglas production function, which has been extensively used in various areas of economics since it was first introduced almost a century ago. !

In the frame of the threshold nonlinear Langevin dynamics and its threshold Fokker-Planck counterpart, we derived a unified formula for description of income of all society classes, by way of example, of those of the European Union in years 2006 and 2008. Hence, the formula is more general than the well known formula of Yakovenko et al.. That is, our formula well describes not only two regions but simultaneously the third region in the plot of the complementary cumulative distribution function vs. an annual household income. Furthermore, the known stylised facts concerning this income are well described by our formula. Namely, the formula provides the Boltzmann Gibbs income distribution function for the low-income society class and the weak Pareto law for the medium-income society class, as expect! ed. Importantly, it predicts (to satisfactory approximation) the *Zipf* law for the high-income society class. Moreover, the region of medium-income society class is now distinctly reduced because the bottom of high-income society class is distinctly lowered. This reduction made, in fact, the medium-income society class an intermediate-income society class. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We aim to characterise the trend in journal IF over the last decade and draw comparisons with other surgical specialties. We conducted an analysis of impact factors from Journal Citation Reports between 2000 and 2010. Between 2000 and 2010 the number of orthopaedic journals increased from 24 to 41, more than any other surgical specialty and the mean IF increased from 0.842 to 1.400. Journals printed in the English language had a significantly higher IF in the year 2010 (1.64 vs. 0.33, p = 0.01) than those printed in other languages. English language journals published in the US had significantly higher mean 2010 IF (1.932 vs. 1.243, p = 0.025) than those published in Europe, and this had changed compared with 2000 mean IF (0.978 Vs. 0.704, p = 0.360). Orthopaedics was ranked sixth out of 11 surgical subspecialties in 2000 but dropped to seventh out of 11 in 2010. The quality of orthopaedic journals has significantly increased over the last decade and this has been accompanied by a rise in mean IF. It is important that orthopaedics continues to improve the quality of research, which may help orthopaedic researchers secure funding in the future.

The number of citations received by any article is seen as a function of the article's scientific influence, and the field to which it belongs. A key assumption is that articles in the same quantile of any field citation distribution have the same degree of citation impact in their respective field. Using a dataset of 4.4 million articles published in 1998-2003 with a five-year citation window, we estimate that differences in citation practices between the 22 fields account for 14% of overall citation inequality. Our empirical strategy is based on the strong similarities found in the behavior of citation distributions. We obtain three m! ain results. Firstly, we estimate a set of average-based indicators, called exchange rates, to express the citations received by any article in a large interval in terms of the citations received in a reference situation. Secondly, using our exchange rates as normalization factors of the raw citation data reduces the effect of differences in citation practices to, approximately, 2% of overall citation inequality in the normalized citation distributions. Thirdly, we provide an empirical explanation of why the usual normalization procedure based on the fields' mean citation rates is found to be equally successful.

Authors: Banski, J; Ferenc, M Author Full Names: Banski, Jerzy; Ferenc, Mariola Source: GEOFORUM, 45 287-297; 10.1016/j.geoforum.2012.11.016 MAR 2013 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Geography, Human Geography, Journals, ISI, IP&S, Citations, Journal Authors KeyWords Plus: LANGUAGE; ENGLISH; GLOBALIZATION; SPACES Abstract: Many scholars question the purportedly international character of the most prestigious journals of geography, particularly those concerned with human geography. These, in their opinion, are dominated by British and American geography. The goal of this article is to assess the affiliation distribution of the authors of articles and the editorial boards of selected geographical publications and to compare the results with previous assessments of a similar kind. The analysis pertains to those geographical journals that received the highest impact rating from the Institute for Scientific Information. The results confirm those obtained by previous studies; over 70% of all articles published in highly respected geographical journals were written by authors representing British and American academic institutions. This trend carries over to the structure of the respective publications' editorial boards and staff, also Anglo-American in their majority. It would appear, as is argued, ! that maintaining such a structure creates numerous threats to the development of a global discourse in the area of geography. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Specifically, co-citation analysis that is a bibliometric approach focusing on citing-cited relation of publications was applied based on established publication and analytical databases in order to express research competence and interdisciplinary characteristics. By using this method, we conducted case studies of stem cell-related research at four universities and identified research competence as synthesized clusters of publications. Then, we demonstrated a research assessment by proposing and introducing key performance indicators and found that a certain degree of interdisciplinarity and internal collaboration may bring about high research productivity. Furthermore, we applied an established portfolio management framework in a business field and clarified differences in the status of research activiti! es among these universities, suggesting the adequateness of applying the management method to academic research. These results suggest that the proposed research assessment and management approaches can provide strong support to facilitating strategic management for academic interdisciplinary research at academic research institutions.

We study the question how each co-author's relative contribution to the visibility of the article can be determined and quantified using an indicator, referring to such an indicator as a CAV-indicator. A two-step procedure is elaborated, whereby one first chooses an indicator (e.g. total number of citations, h-index aEuro broken vertical bar) and subsequently one of two possible approaches. The case where the indicator is an h-type index is elaborated in a Lotkaian framework. Different examples illustrate the procedure and the choices involved in determining a CAV-indicator.

Authors: Liang, LM; Rousseau, R; Zhong, Z Author Full Names: Liang, Liming; Rousseau, Ronald; Zhong, Zhen Source: SCIENTOMETRICS, 95 (1):333-350; 10.1007/s11192-012-0828-0 APR 2013 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Non-English journal, Non, English paper, Physics, Chemistry, Citation, Bias KeyWords Plus: INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS; LANGUAGE; PUBLICATIONS; PREFERENCE Abstract: This study investigates, at the journal as well as the article level, if there is a difference in citations between English-language and non-English publications. The Web of Knowledge is used as data source. The investigation focuses on the fields of physics and chemistry. Using a precise definition of a "non-English journal", we filter out nine physics and thirty-four chemistry non-English journals, scattered over six physics and seven chemistry subfields. Average received citations per paper (CpP) of the non-English journal(s) are compared with the CpP of pure English journals, and this in the same subfield. We clearly observe that non-English journals are inferior-in number of citations received-to pure English journals and this in all physics and chemistry subfields studied. Further, twelve physics journals and ten chemistry journals were chosen as sample journals to compare the CpP of non-English papers with that of English language papers in the same journal. The resul! t of this comparison is that for the majority of these journals and for most of the publication years the CpP of non-English papers is lower than that of the English language papers. Finally, analyzing linguistic characteristics of the citing literature confirms the own-language preference in non-English physics and chemistry journals.

The h-index is used as an objective measure of research impact. Its validity, however, is not known in the context of general surgery and comparisons with other bibliometric indices are lacking. We sought to evaluate the h-index as a reliable and valid measure of research performance in general surgery across 6 universities in the province of Ontario, Canada. Methods. Bibliometric indices for 219 faculty members in general surgery were calculated using the Scopus and Web of Science online databases. We investigated agreement between the databases. A 2-way analysis of variance was used to compare the h-index of surgeons grouped by institutional affiliation and academic rank and to identify the relative impact of these factors on different bibliometric indices. Results. The agreement on h-indices between the Scopus and Web of Science was problematic. The h-index was associated more strongly with academic rank (academic rank accounted for 33.3% of researcher's h-index) than of the number of publications (12.5%) or the number of citations per author (10.2%). The number of citations per paper was not associated with academic rank. The institutional affiliation affected bibliometric indices to a similar degree to academic rank. Conclusion. Our data suggest better construct validity for the h-index than for other bibliometrics, although the agreement of h-index values between databases can be problematic for some researchers. The use of the h-index as a criterion-based assessment across different universities is problematic and that it should be used as a normative assessment tool, with comparisons with a specified population of interest.

Source: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RADIATION ONCOLOGY BIOLOGY PHYSICS, 85 (5):1168-1171; 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2012.10.035 APR 1 2013 Language: English Document Type: Article Abstract: Purpose: To identify objective characteristics and benchmarks for program leadership in academic radiation oncology. Methods and Materials: A study of the 87 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education radiation oncology training program directors (PD) and their chairs was performed. Variables included age, gender, original training department, highest degree, rank, endowed chair assignment, National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, and Hirsch index (H-index). Data were gathered from online sources such as departmental websites, NIH RePORTER, and Scopus. Results: There were a total of 87 PD. The median age was 48, and 14 (16%) were MD/PhD. A total of 21 (24%) were female, and rank was relatively equally distributed above instructor. Of the 26 professors, at least 7 (27%) were female. At least 24 (28%) were working at the institution from which they had received their training. A total of 6 individuals held endowed chairs. Only 2 PD had active NIH funding in 2012. The median H-index was 12 (range, 0-51) but the index dropped to 9 (range, 0-38) when those who served as both PD and chair were removed from the group. A total of 76 chairs were identified at the time of the study. The median age was 55, and 9 (12%) were MD/PhD. A total of 7 (9%) of the chairs were female, and rank was professor for all with the exception of 1 who was listed as "Head" and was an associate professor. Of the 76 chairs, at least 10 (13%) were working at the institution from which they received their training. There were a total of 21 individuals with ! endowed chairs. A total of 13 (17%) had NIH funding in 2012. The median H-index was 29 (range, 3-60). Conclusions: These data provide benchmarks for individuals and departments evaluating leadership positions in the field of academic radiation oncology. Such data are useful for evaluating leadership trends over time and comparing academic radiation oncology with other specialties. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

A patent citing another implies that the cited patent reflects a piece of previously existing knowledge that the citing patent builds upon. A methodology presented here (1) identifies actual clusters of patents: i.e., technological branches, and (2) gives predictions about the temporal changes of the structure of the clusters. A predictor, called the citation vector, is defined for characterizing technological development to show how a patent cited by other patents belongs to various industrial fields. The clustering technique adopted is able to detect the new emerging recombinations, and predicts emerging new technology clusters. The predictive ability of our new method is illustrated on the example of USPTO subcategory 11, Agriculture, Food, Textiles. A cluster of patents is determined based on citation data up to 1991, which shows significant over! lap of the class 442 formed at the beginning of 1997. These new tools of predictive analytics could support policy decision making processes in science and technology, and help formulate recommendations for action.

Knowledge maps have been used for the purpose of discovering the location, ownership and value of intellectual assets. The purpose of this article is to develop a new method for assessing national and firm-level competences in a given technological discipline. To achieve this goal, we draw a competence map by applying agglomerative hierarchical clustering on a sample of patents. Considering the top levels of the resulting dendrogram, each cluster represents one of the technological branches of nanotechnology and its children branches are those that are most technologically proximate. We also assign a label to each branch by extracting the most relevant words found in each of them. From the information about patents inventors' cities, we are able to identify where the largest invention communiti! es are located.

Citation distributions for the US, the European Union (EU), and the Rest of the World are evaluated using a pair of high- and low-impact indicators, as well as the mean citation rate (MCR). The dataset consists of 3.6 million articles published in 1998-2002 with a common 5-year citation window. The analysis is carried at a low aggregation level, namely, the 219 sub-fields identified with the Web of Science categories distinguished by Thomson Scientific. The problems posed by international co-authorship and the multiple assignments of articles to sub-fields are solved following a multiplicative strategy. We find that, although the EU has more publications than the US in 113 out ! of 219 sub-fields, the US is ahead of the EU in 189 sub-fields in terms of the high-impact indicator, and in 163 sub-fields in terms of the low-impact indicator. Finally, we verify that using the high-impact indicator the US/EU gap is usually greater than when using the MCR. Addresses: [Herranz, Neus] Univ Illinois, Dept Econ, Champaign, IL USA.

In the present study, we elucidated the status of oncology research from 2001 to 2010. Studies published in 30 representative oncology journals were retrieved from the Web of Science (2001-2010) to compose our dataset. Knowledge domain visualisation, co-citation analysis and social network analysis methods were used. By mapping the oncology research performed from 2001 to 2010, we identified the primary research centres, including the top 20 institutions and countries and the 4 major oncology research fronts: i) the mechanism of abnormal oncogene expression; ii) tumour metastasis and angiogenesis; iii) the relationship between cancer cells and apoptosis; and iv) tumour vaccines. We also identified the 36 most collaborative academic communities, and multiple myeloma, angiogenesis and acute lymphocytic leukaemia were found to be the focuse! s of collaborative research in oncology from 2001 to 2010. Over the past 10 years, America has led oncology research, while China is the sole developing country to be ranked in the top 10. Analyses of the main research centres and forefronts may assist researchers in addressing these forefronts and ascertaining the developing trends in oncology. Analysis of the academic communities performing oncology research may provide scientific evidence and suggestions for policymakers to select the most prolific academic groups and leaders and to effectively manage and finance future oncology research. These selected groups and individuals will carry out additional joint undertakings and solve complex problems encountered in oncology research.

This study explores the cognitive and social distinctness of iMetrics with respect to the general information science (IS), focusing on a core of researchers, shared vocabulary and literature/knowledge base. Our analysis investigates the similarities and differences between four document sets. The document sets are drawn from three core journals for iMetrics research (Scientometrics, Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, and Journal of Informetrics). We split JASIST into document sets containing iMetrics and general IS articles. The volume of publications in this representation of the specialty has increased rapidly during the last decade. A core of researchers that predominantly focus on iMetrics topics can thus be identifi! ed. This core group has developed a shared vocabulary as exhibited in high similarity of title words and one that shares a knowledge base. The research front of this field moves faster than the research front of information science in general, bringing it closer to Price's dream.

To find this scientific basis, we first located publications that represent a relevant part of sustainability science and then extracted the set of best cited publications, which we called the highly cited knowledge base (HCKB). To find the research orientation in this set, we inspected the occurrence of fields and contrasted this with the occurrence of fields in other publication sets relevant to sustainability science. We also created a network of co-cited HCKB publications using the seed set citations, extracted communities or clusters in this network and visualised the result. Additionally, we inspected the most cited publications in these HCKB clusters. We found that themes related to the three pillars of sustainable development (environment, economy and sociolog! y) are all present in the HCKB, although social science (not including economics) is less visible. Finally, we found increasing diversity of fields and clusters in the citations of the seed set, indicating that the field of sustainability science is not yet moving into a more transdisciplinary state.

They are defined in order to yield higher impact values of "selective" authors (i.e., authors with concentrated number of citations over their publications). We show that this property is not valid for every citation distribution. However, if Zipf's law is adopted for the citation distribution, we can show that the central area indices and the central interval indices have indeed higher values for more selective authors.

Our objective was to characterize the scholarly productivity of academic surgeons from different specialties relative to otolaryngologists. Study Design Analysis of a bibliometric database. Methods The h-indices of 2,429 faculty members within surgical specialties at 20 randomly selected academic institutions were calculated using the Scopus database and were examined to determine relationship with academic rank and comparison among surgical subspecialties. Results The h-index statistically increased with academic rank. Mean h-indices were as follows: assistant professor, 4.37 (range, 2.736.69); associate professor, 8.70 (6.5311.02); professor, 16.44 (13.3920.45); and chairperson, 20.79 (14.8127.89). Mean increase between ac! ademic rank was 5.47, with the largest increase between the levels of associate professor and professor. Further examination demonstrated statistically significant increases through all academic ranks for most, but not all, individual specialties. Urologists, general surgeons, and neurosurgeons had the highest mean h-indices. Conclusions h-indices among the different surgical specialties vary and are potentially impacted by the number of practitioners as well as research emphasis within a field. The mean h-index of academic otolaryngologists falls in the lower values for academic surgeons. Because this metric varies among different fields, it is most relevant for comparison when examining values within a field. H-indices reliably increase with increasing academic rank through professor and offer a quantifiable and objective alternative to other metrics when evaluating faculty members for academic advancement.

Using social network analysis of citations between published scholarly works, the nascent field around Social Studies of Science is examined from its incipience in 1971 until 2008. To gauge intellectual positioning, closeness centrality and orthodoxy rates are derived from bibliographic networks. Bibliographic orthodoxy is defined as the propensity of an article to cite other highly popular works. Orthodoxy and closeness centrality have differing effects on citation rates, varying across historical periods of development in the field. Effects were modest, but significant. In early time periods, articles with higher orthodoxy rates were cited more, but this effect dissipated over time. In contrast, citations associated with closeness centrality increased over time. Early SSS citation networks were smaller, less structurally cohesive and less modular than later networks. In contrast, later networks were larg! er, more structurally cohesive, more modular and less dense. These changes to the global SSS knowledge networks are linked to changes in the scientific reward structure ensconced in the network, particularly regarding orthodoxy and closeness centrality.

Although controversial, the most widely used and reliable methodology. to identify the importance of a journal is through the citation it receives. This paper identifies the performance of scholarly journals published by Malaysian publishers in the Web of Science and reports the number of citations to Malaysian journals in terms of the cited and the citing journals. A search using the Thomson-Reuters citation database (Web of Science) was performed to identify highly cited Malaysian journals from 2006 to 2010. We identified 212 cited journals that received 9675 cited-papers, and a total of 9427 articles contributing to the 3184 journals citing Malaysian journals. More than fifty percent of all the articles that cited Malaysian journals were published in journals ranked in the first or second quartile by the journal Citation Report. Further analysis was done on t! he top 50 cited and citing journal titles. A steady growth of citations with a total increase of 56.9% was evident between the five year period examined.

Source: JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC LITERATURE, 51 (1):173-189; 10.1257/jel.51.1.173 MAR 2013 Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS; RELATIVE IMPACTS; CITATIONS; PAPER; RELIABILITY Abstract: Academic economists appear to be intensely interested in rankings of journals, institutions, and individuals. Yet there is little discussion of the uncertainty associated with these rankings. To illustrate the uncertainty associated with citations-based rankings, I compute the standard error of the impact factor for all economics journals with a five-year impact factor in the 2011 Journal Citations Report. I use these to derive confidence intervals for the impact factors as well as ranges of possible rank for a subset of thirty journals. I find that the impact factors of the top two journals are well defined and set these journals apart in a clearly defined group. An elite group of 9-11 mainstream journals can also be fairly reliably distinguished. The four bottom ranked journals are also fairly clearly set apart. For the remainder of the distribution, confidence intervals overlap and rankings are quite uncertain.

Study emphases included performance of publication covering annual outputs, mainstream journals, Web of Science categories, leading countries, institutions, research tendencies and hotspots. The results indicated that annual output of the related scientific articles increased steadily. Water Research, Environmental Science & Technology, and Journal American Water Works Association were the three most common journals in drinking water research. The USA took a leading position out of 168 countries/territories, followed by Japan and Germany. A summary of the most frequently used keywords obtained from words in paper title analysis, author keyword analysis and Key Words Plus analysis provided the clues to discover the current research emphases. The mainstream resear! ch related to drinking water was water treatment methods and the related contaminants. Disinfection process and consequent disinfection by-products attracted much attention. Ozonation and chlorination in disinfection, and adsorption were common techniques and are getting popular. Commonly researched drinking water contaminants concerned arsenic, nitrate, fluoride, lead, and cadmium, and pharmaceuticals emerged as the frequently studied contaminants in recent years. Disease caused by contaminants strongly promoted the development of related research. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Analysis of the thematic concentration of texts: A comparison of journalistic texts by Ladislav Jehlicka and Karel Capek Authors: Glogarova, JD; David, J; Cech, R Author Full Names: Glogarova, Jana Davidova; David, Jaroslav; Cech, Radek Source: SLOVO A SLOVESNOST, 74 (1):41-54; 2013 Language: Czech Document Type: Article Author Keywords: quantitative linguistic analysis, thematic concentration, Czech Catholic literature, journalism, democracy, nationalism, ideology, Ladislav Jehlicka, Karel Capek Abstract: This study analyzes the thematic characteristics of journalistic texts written by the Czech Catholic intellectual and journalist Ladislav Jehlicka (1916-1996) and the writer, journalist and representative of pre-war democracy Karel Capek (1890-1938). The main aim of the article is to illustrate how Jehlicka's pre-war journalism does not correspond to what has been generally accepted by the majority of literary critics - that it is a mere manifestation of his sympathy for nationalism, Nazism, and Fascism. The methodology used was, based on the quantitative characteristics of the text, the analysis of the thematic concentration. The study detected unexpected similarities between both authors; specifically, it revealed that the texts by Jehlicka and Capek are focused on the same problems, e.g. young people and their future, the role of political parties and the circumstances determining a nation's existence.

Its goal is to help researchers in finding related works. Further, this paper seeks to explore the effect of using relational features in addition to textual features on the quality of recommended citations. Design/methodology/approach - In order to propose a novel citation recommendation system, first a new relational similarity measure is proposed for calculating the relatedness of two publications. Then, a recommendation algorithm is presented that uses both relational and textual features to compute the semantic distances of publications of a bibliographic dataset from the input text. Findings - The evaluation of the proposed system shows that combining relational features with textual features leads to better recommendations, in comparison with relying only on the textual features. It also demonstrates that citation context plays an important role among textual features. In addition, it is concluded that different relational features have different contributions to the proposed similarity measure. Originality/value - A new citation recommendation system is proposed which uses a novel semantic distance measure. This measure is based on textual similarities and a new relational similarity concept. The other contribution of this paper is that it sheds more light on the importance of citation context in citation recommendation, by providing more evidences through analysis of the results. In addition, a genetic algorithm is developed for assigning weights to the relational features in the similarity measure.

Design/methodology/approach - The most influential articles published in the Journal of Knowledge Management were selected and their cited and citing works were scientometrically analysed. Findings - The KM discipline: builds its knowledge primarily upon research reports published in the English language; successfully disseminates its knowledge in both English and non-English publications; does not exhibit a problematic self-citation behavior; uses books and practitioner journals in the development of KM theory; converts experiential knowledge into academic knowledge; is not yet a reference discipline, but is progressing well towards becoming one; exerts a somewhat limited direct impact on practice; and is not a scientific fad. Practical implications - KM researchers need to become aware of and use knowledge published in non-English outlets. Given the status of KM as an applied discipline, it is critical that researchers continue utilizing non-peer reviewed sources in their scholarly work. KM researchers should promote the dissemination of KM knowledge beyond the disciplinary boundaries. The issue whether KM should strive towards becoming a reference discipline should be debated further. Originality/value - This study analyzes the KM field from the reference discipline perspective.

URL: From notsjb at LSU.EDU Mon May 20 09:55:43 2013 From: notsjb at LSU.EDU (Stephen J Bensman) Date: Mon, 20 May 2013 13:55:43 +0000 Subject: Trashing the Impact Factor Message-ID: The article below was recently published by the US Chronicle of Higher Education. I basically agree with what is presented in it. I think that it should be read by the Sigmetrics list. There has recently been an intensive but misbegotten mathematical effort to convert the impact factor into a universal measure able to do cross-disciplinary comparisons for budgetary purposes. This effort has always been more intensive in Europe and China than in the US. That below is basically the attitude in the US toward such efforts. The impact factor is a great measure when properly understood and used, but it is not suitable for cross-disciplinary comparisons due to the different structures of different disciplines. The opposition of the Nature publishing group is historical in nature. Nature has been against citation analysis ever since Garfield first proposed it in the 1970s. Nature was always a thorn in Garfield's side. The opposition of the Nature group is almost ironical, because the JCRs are almost an advertisement for its products, because Nature Group journals are always at the top of every citation ranking. It is a function of what my wife calls "the law of opposites." Respectfully, Stephen J Bensman, Ph.D. LSU Libraries Lousiana State University Baton Rouge, LA 70803 USA Researchers and Scientific Groups Make New Push Against Impact Factors - Government - The Chronicle of Higher Education 5/17/13 4:53 PM http://chronicle.com/article/ResearchersScientific/139337/?cid=at&utm_source=at&utm_medium=en Page 1 of 10 Government May 16, 2013 Researchers and Scientific Groups MakeNew Push Against Impact Factors By Paul Basken More than 150 researchers and 75 scientific groups issued a declaration on Thursday against the widespread use of journal "impact factors," blaming the practice for dangerous distortions in financing and hiring in science. The impact factor "has a number of well-documented deficiencies as a tool for research assessment," the scientists said in the letter, which had been in preparation since a conference led by publishers and grant-writing agencies last year in San Francisco. Those deficiencies include the ability of publishers to manipulate the calculations, and the way the metrics encourage university hiring and promotion decisions, as well as grant agencies' award distributions, that can lack an in-depth understanding of scientific work. "There is certainly a need for fair and objective methods to evaluate science and scientists, no doubt about that," said Stefano Bertuzzi, executive director of the American Society for Cell Biology, which organized the campaign. "But that need does not change the fact that the journal impact factor does not measure what it's supposed to measure when it is applied to evaluations of scientists' work." For all those who signed the letter, however, the effect may be overshadowed by those who did not, including some of the world's leading publishers and representatives of leading research universities. They include the Nature Publishing Group and Elsevier, two of the most dominant scientific publishers, and the Association of American Universities, which represents top-ranked research institutions. The editor in chief of Nature, Philip Campbell, said he and other editors of the company's journals have regularly published editorials critical of excesses in the use of journal impact factors, especially in rating researchers. "But the draft statement contained many specific elements, some of which were too sweeping for me or my colleagues to sign up to," said Mr. Campbell. Among the 18 recommendations in the letter, journals were asked to "greatly reduce emphasis on the journal impact factor as a promotional tool." A spokesman for the AAU, Barry Toiv, said he had no comment on the matter. Years of Criticism The impact factor is a number, calculated annually for each scientific journal, that reflects the average number of times its articles have been cited by authors of other articles. Some journals have been accused of inflating their ratings through practices that include requiring authors to cite articles that have appeared previously in the journal. The measure was first developed more than 50 years ago as a way to help librarians decide which subscriptions to maintain. The simple statistic made sense for that purpose, Mr. Bertuzzi said, but not for its now-common use by universities and grant-writing agencies in important hiring and financing decisions. Although Nature declined to sign the letter, another top-ranked journal, Science, backed the effort. In an editorial timed to the release of the so-called San Francisco Declaration, the editor in chief of Science, Bruce Alberts, said problems attributable to the overreliance on impact factors include scientists' avoiding riskier research that's less certain to command a wide audience. A focus on impact factors also "wastes the time of scientists by overloading highly cited journals such as Science with inappropriate submissions from researchers who are desperate to gain points from their evaluators," Mr. Alberts wrote. The impact factor has nevertheless withstood years of criticism, and Mr. Bertuzzi acknowledged there are no simple solutions, given the financial pressures on universities, publishers, and grantwriting agencies. Still, there may be some new signs that the criticism is having an effect. The National Cancer Institute, a division of the National Institutes of Health, plans this year to join the private Howard Hughes Medical Institute and a few universities in pressing grant applicants to broaden their descriptions of career accomplishments beyond the common list of journal publications. Under the cancer institute's plan, scientists will be "asked to describe your five leading contributions to science as a way of helping a reviewer to evaluate your contributions rather than depending on where your name is positioned in a paper with 15 authors or 500 authors," the director of the cancer institute, Harold E. Varmus, told the annual meeting last month of the American Association for Cancer Research. Dr. Varmus said on Thursday that he fully backs the San Francisco Declaration. Agencies, he said, "need to change the culture of science, especially with respect to the way that scientists evaluate each other, moving away from simplistic metrics." Comments Researchers and Scientific Groups Make New Push Against Impact Factors - Government - The Chronicle of Higher Education 5/17/13 4:53 PM http://chronicle.com/article/ResearchersScientific/139337/?cid=at&utm_source=at&utm_medium=en Page 4 of 10 We are all aware of the limitations of simplistic measures of quality, from 'lists of best colleges' to 'impact factor.' It is more the inappropriate use of these metrics than it is the metric itself. Impact factor may have value for publishers to gauge their penetration of the 'market,' but has minimum if any value in assessing the value of a scientific publication. Several other attempts to judge scientific merit have been promulgated, each with their limitations. Although the dialog is meritorious, it is unrealistic to anticipate a Golden Rule for scientific quality. 5 people liked this. LIKE And then there is the "tenure trap" whereby the bombastic "masters-in-charge"can ruin careers simply because they can. Senator McCarthy is long dead so what IS the validity of the tenure process? The big game is laced through with egoistic bias. Don't assume that my comments are "sour grapes" - I worked the tenure game with extraordinary "success"like a good little lacky. After this game was over I did my very best academic research that contributed to the advancement of knowledge. It is time to exorcise the present tenure process and its gamesmanship. 7 people liked this. LIKE I commonly joke around in our school that impact factor is also known as "incest factor" given the fact that the higher the number of journals within the last two years are cited (very incestuous there), the higher the "incest factor". The unfortunate thing is that in our society, which is obsessed with measuring every thing, there's only one way out of this insanity and that is a collective movement to oppose the IF or propose something better. Unfortunately the other measures are equally bad, if not worse - e.g., the h-index and citations. In the Australian system, it's even more ridiculous. The funding model is tied to how silo you can get your research. You could not get research points (= research dollars from the Feds) if your research was published in another area outside of your main discipline. So much for encouraging cross-disciplinary research down there.

LIKE We can't compete without comparisons, and I see the problem as an obsession with competition in an enterprise that is inherently cooperative. If we really want to get away from this "how do we know who won" culture, we need to concentrate resources on support of the research effort, and restrict competitive evaluation to weeding out the few researchers who really aren't doing their part. 4 people liked this. LIKE Journals that are known to engage in impact factor rigging as described in this article (forcing authors to cite other articles in that journal) should either be excluded from the impact factor rating system at all, or have their i.f. asterisked in ISI's and other reports of it, like an asterisked sports record. 3 people liked this. LIKE Then the publishers will sue Thomson Reuters for defamation. 1 person liked this. LIKE The biggest problem with impact factor is that good numbers are highly related to the field that you publish in. Huge fields (such as cancer) and cardiovascular disease may have many field specific journals with impact factors over 10, while other fields with fewer researchers may have the best field specific journal impact factor be 4 or so. Guess what, if fewer papers are published in an area, the impact factors that papers in the entire field garner will be lower. That is fine as long as this is taken into account. However, when impact factors are used to compare between fields by administrators who can not be bothered to educate themselves, they just lead to the further glut of hiring in already oversubscribed fields leading to extreme funding competition in some fields (cancer, neuroscience;) while other fields worry about keeping sufficient young investigators to remain viable and funding rates in those fields 2-3X higher than the oversubscribed ones (vision research is a good example).

LIKE Exactly. I work for a marine science college, where the various labs study subjects as varied as pathogens in fish, to marine paleo-geology, to satellite altimetry. It's been suggested that the dean use impact factors as part of a weighting system to base faculty quality metrics on -- including who gets tenure, who gets fired, and who gets bonuses (assuming any of us ever get bonuses again). Now, I sympathize with the idea and I'd really like to support it... in theory. After all, everyone knows that there are "great" journals, "good" journals, and "lousy" journals, right? The problem is, if you compare the typical impact factor of a "good" genetics journal to the typical impact factor of a "good" satellite gravity journal, the genetics journal will have TWICE the impact factor of the other. That's just due to the fact that there are more people studying genetics than satellite gravity, not any measure of the quality of work in the journals. Very frustrating. 3 people liked this. LIKE In our P&T decisions at the department level, we have the candidate give a description of each journal including the relative ranking based on impact factor with in a journal category (ie within the top 20% of journals published in biochemistry for instance) but we do not have them report the actual impact factor number. This way, publishing in good journals is highlighted, and crappy journals is revealed. This does allow some comparison among fields without as much bias in favor of those working in large fields. While it is still not perfect, it has been a good compromise overall and has been accepted well by the upper level promotion committees. 2 people liked this. LIKE Yeah, the main problem we have is that our college is such an interdisciplinary field that it's hard to list meaningful "average" impact factors that would hold for more than a single professor. Just because so few profs publish in the same journals. Of course, there are a few larger ones (Nature and Science, and others like GRL and JGR) which lots of profs from different areas publish in, but most of our publications happen in more disciplinespecific journals. So the more-or-less-final decision was to remove the impact factor rating altogether.

We are also very interdisciplinary and few of us publish in the same journals in my department either. Both SciImago and Web of Science classify journals into broad subject areas making it easy to calculate whether it is a "top 25% " genetics journal versus a "top 25%" biophysics journal versus a "top 25%" engineering journal etc. This also helps truly interdisciplinary folks explain things who could be publishing their work in medicine, mathematics, engineering and physiology journals depending on the project, all fields with pretty different criteria for productivity. 1 person liked this. LIKE While the method you're employing does address the discrepencies between what constitutes a high IF in one field vs. a high IF in another, if those journal rankings you're continuing to use are based on impact factor, you're still using a ranking that is based on an acknowledged flawed metric, and one that purports to measure the quality of journals, NOT of any particular piece of research that appears in them. Why are we not evaluating an individual's research (and the published results of that research) at face value, rather than basing part of that evaluation on a flawed metrics's measure of the quality of the _vessel_ those research results appeared in. 3 people liked this. LIKE You have an excellent point and that is why H-index is used by some as an alternative. The problem comes when decisions about promotion need to be made shortly after a piece of work is completed. Even if the paper is in a so called high impact journal, one can not really know whether a paper will garner 2 citations in its life or 2000. If you are looking at the end of someone's career, H-index is a reasonable measure of impact since it includes all 20-40 years of scientific productivity. The thing is that many folks in engineering, computer science etc are using it to convince search committees that their graduate student/postdoc publications are high impact.

Overall, I do not know how to deal with issues the most fairly for promotion in situations like Reythia's (or mine) where the environment is so diverse that it is difficult to judge the importance of ones colleagues work. In the end, some objective (albeit imperfect) measure is needed. At least for us, it seems to be reasonably fair to let the reviewers of journals in a tenure candidates field whether it meets the standards for a highly ranked journal. Imperfect, yes, but there are not a lot of alternatives. LIKE 11180470 amen to that, but what I would propose is a combination of measures which I think is what many of our learned colleagues use when making tenure decisions. What that combination may be is probably somewhat discipline context specific, but I am sure if we put our heads together we can come up with a set of measures which, while not perfect are at least acceptable to most. This rush to simplistic conclusions, mostly not warrranted, I would think drives most of us nuts, but we need to stay vigilant and propose solutions that make sense. LIKE Is there any blog or online resource which regularly reports on/synthesizes successful alternative-to-the-IF practice? LIKE In the United Kingdom, they have the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 Guidelines, which says "No sub-panel will make any use of journal impact factors, rankings, lists or the perceived standing of publishers in assessing the quality of research outputs."

Thus, the impact factor does not even measure what it is supposed to measure, let alone the quality of individual papers. LIKE It's about time. I've been on department and college P&T committees and I absolutely will not, in any way, rely on impact factors, citation indexes, or any other such metrics in my decisions. LIKE A good many years ago, when I was working for the National Science Foundation, we did an internal study, later published in Science and Technology Studies, of the research management practices at the top 100 research universities in the US. Specifically, we studied three different departments, as representatives respectively of applied science, pure science, and social science: electrical engineering, chemistry, and economics. There were a lot of interesting findings, but one germane to this discussion was a publication pattern (numbers are approximate, based on recollection, but order-of-magnitude correct.) In electrical engineering, the average number of authors on a paper was about 12, and papers were about 2-3 pages long. In chemistry, the authors averaged about 4, with 5-6 page papers; while in economics, the average number of authors on a paper was about 1.1, with papers of 10-15 pages. EE papers tended to have as authors all the members of the research team, to reflect relatively small chunks of an ongoing larger project, and to shufffle the rankings of the authors on subsequent papers. Chemistry papers tended to reflect the same pattern, but with smaller projects. Economics papers were almost always single-authored, and reflected the completion of a study rather than mid-term progress. I am not sure how, if at all, these differences in professional practice are reflected in the impact factor calculations, but clearly they would affect publication patterns. Research publication is not a one-size-fits-all proposition; any systematic evaluation of research outcomes needs to thus allow for significant disciplinary differences. 1 person liked this.

Message-ID: International Co-authorship Relations in the Social Science Citation Index: Is Internationalization Leading the Network? We analyze international co-authorship relations in the Social Science Citation Index 2011 using all citable items in the DVD-version of this index. Network statistics indicate four groups of nations: (i) an Asian-Pacific one to which all Anglo-Saxon nations (including the UK and Ireland) are attributed; (ii) a continental European one including also the Latin-American countries; (iii) the Scandinavian nations; and (iv) a community of African nations. Within the EU-28 (including Croatia), eleven of the EU-15 states have dominant positions. Collapsing the EU-28 into a single node leads to a bi-polar structure between the US and EU-28; China is part of the US-pole. We develop an information-theoretical test to distinguish whether international collaborations or domestic collaborations prevail; the results are mixed, but the international dimension is more important than the national one in the aggregated sets (this was found in both SSCI and SCI). In France, however, the national distribution is more important than the international one, while the reverse is true for most European nations in the core group (UK, Germany, the Netherlands, etc.). Decomposition of the USA in terms of states shows a similarly mixed result; more US states are domestically than internationally oriented (in both SSCI and SCI). The international networks have grown during the last decades in addition to the national ones, but not by replacing them.

For myself I mentally signed the DORA declaration a long time ago at least as the impact factor has been used for evaluative purposes. Thus, for me, this all is beating on a horse that has long been dead?basically killed by Seglen in the 1990s. For some odd reason, I have become to regarded as leading expert on the impact factor, and editors always give me impact factor papers to referee. It is hard to referee papers, whose mathematics are incomprehensible and whose premises are false. You cannot impose your views, because that would be imposing censorship, and everybody has a right to be stupid, including myself. (My life has been based on this premise). These articles are serious efforts and part of a major controversy, and the argument needs to be aired, even though I think it is silly. I call all this stuff ?artifacts of the impact factor industry.? Now if I ever get more impact factor articles to referee, I can ask the authors to take a position in respect to DORA. That should allow some fresh air to enter their thinking.

Our allies include AAAS, HHMI, EMBO, and numerous other societies, institutions, and individuals. JIF were created for buying library subscriptions, but they have been misused as an all-purpose metric to assess the quality of science. This is deeply flawed, so the coalition wants to steer the scientific community back to a focus on the content of papers, not the impact factor of the journal where they happen to be published. Please help us spread the word about DORA: http://am.ascb.org/dora/. We hope you will sign the declaration, and encourage all your scientific colleagues to do so as well. We started with 155 individual and 78 institutional signers. In three business days, the numbers have grown to over 800 and over 100, respectively. But we are aiming for 5,000 signers, so we need your help! Thanks for helping ASCB and the entire scientific community with this important initiative.

Please find attached and below the 2013 Call for Student Papers from ASIS&T SIG/MET. Please excuse any cross postings and feel free to distribute widely. Please direct any questions regarding the contest or submission guidelines to Kim Powell at krpowel at emory.edu 2013 ASIS&T SIG/MET Student Paper Contest Are you tired of preparing papers which immediately migrate into your professors' files and have not been seen ever since? Recover your papers and give them a life and a great opportunity for yourself. Send your most promising papers to the 2013 ASIST SIG/MET Student paper contest where you have the chance to present your work in front of an interested audience, discuss it with established researchers, and win the ASIS&T SIG/MET Best Student Paper Award. This is the third annual student paper contests for SIG/MET, the Special Interest Group for the measurement of information production and use (http://www.asis.org/SIG/met.html)of the Association for Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T). The contest is designed to recognize promising student research relating to the measurement of information, publication, and research and gives students a forum to meet the leaders of the field. Purpose SIG/MET seeks to encourage the development and networking opportunities of all those interested in the measurement of information. It is holding this contest to foster student growth and promote the generation of new ideas and research in metric-related topics, including bibliometrics, scientometrics, infometrics, webometrics and other related domains. Eligibility The first author of the paper entered into this contest must be a full-time student at the time of submission, irrespective of ASIS&T or SIG/MET membership. Only solo or first authored student manuscripts will be accepted, in order to ensure that the student made significant contributions to the work. SIG/MET reserves the right to request proof of enrollment as part of the submission and evaluation process. Submissions should not have been published work, although they may be submitted to a journal at the time of submission to the contest. Theme Papers should discuss theories, methods, policies, case studies, etc. on aspects of the measurement of information production and use. Topics could include, but are not limited to, the following core areas: * Metric-Related Theory * Methods and new techniques * Citation and co-citation analysis * Indicators * Webometrics * Information visualization * Research policy * Productivity * Journals, databases and electronic publications * Collaboration/Co-authorship * Patent analysis * Knowledge and topic diffusion * Altmetrics Selection Papers will be reviewed by SIG/MET officers and advisors to the SIG/MET workshop. At least one winner will be chosen. In the past, we have also given commendation to other particularly outstanding papers. Selection criteria include those that would be considered in traditional peer review: that is, the quality of the research, the presentation of the results, and the originality of the research question. Prizes The winner will be awarded a one-year individual membership to ASIS&T and a cash prize, sponsored by Elsevier. If of sufficient merit, two winners may be announced: one for the best first-authored paper and one for the best sole-authored paper. Monetary prizes and membership may be available for more than one paper, depending on merit. Authors of highly rated papers will be invited to submit a short biographical piece to be featured on the SIG/MET website. In addition, these authors may be invited to present their research under their own expense at the SIG/MET pre-conference workshop at the 2013 Annual ASIS&T Meeting in Montreal, Canada. Format Submissions can be of any length and format, but should ideally reflect typical standards of a journal article (i.e., approximately 6,000 words and in an appropriate citation style for the social sciences). Submission & Deadline Authors are invited to submit manuscripts by midnight EST on Monday, July 29th 2013, to the following website:https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigmetspc2013 The students will be notified about the results by Sept 1, 2013.

To address this issue, a group of editors and publishers of scholarly journals met during the Annual Meeting of The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) in San Francisco, CA, on December 16, 2012. The group developed a set of recommendations, referred to as the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment. We invite interested parties across all scientific disciplines to indicate their support by adding their names to this Declaration. The outputs from scientific research are many and varied, including: research articles reporting new knowledge, data, reagents, and software; intellectual property; and highly trained young scientists. Funding agencies, institutions that employ scientists, and scientists themselves, all have a desire, and need, to assess the quality and impact of scientific outputs. It is thus imperative that scientific output is measured accurately and evaluated wisely. The Journal Impact Factor is frequently used as the primary parameter with which to compare the scientific output of individuals and institutions. The Journal Impact Factor, as calculated by Thomson Reuters, was originally created as a tool to help librarians identify journals to purchase, not as a measure of the scientific quality of research in an article. With that in mind, it is critical to understand that the Journal Impact Factor has a number of well-documented deficiencies as a tool for research assessment. These limitations include: A) citation distributions within journals are highly skewed [1?3]; B) the properties of the Journal Impact Factor are field-specific: it is a composite of multiple, highly diverse article types, including primary research papers and reviews [1, 4]; C) Journal Impact Factors can be manipulated (or "gamed") by editorial policy [5]; and D) data used to calculate the Journal Impact Factors are neither transparent nor openly available to the public [4, 6, 7]. Below we make a number of recommendations for improving the way in which the quality of research output is evaluated. Outputs other than research articles will grow in importance in assessing research effectiveness in the future, but the peer-reviewed research paper will remain a central research output that informs research assessment. Our recommendations therefore focus primarily on practices relating to research articles published in peer-reviewed journals but can and should be extended by recognizing additional products, such as datasets, as important research outputs. These recommendations are aimed at funding agencies, academic institutions, journals, organizations that supply metrics, and individual researchers. A number of themes run through these recommendations: the need to eliminate the use of journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors, in funding, appointment, and promotion considerations; the need to assess research on its own merits rather than on the basis of the journal in which the research is published; and the need to capitalize on the opportunities provided by online publication (such as relaxing unnecessary limits on the number of words, figures, and references in articles, and exploring new indicators of significance and impact). We recognize that many funding agencies, institutions, publishers, and researchers are already encouraging improved practices in research assessment. Such steps are beginning to increase the momentum toward more sophisticated and meaningful approaches to research evaluation that can now be built upon and adopted by all of the key constituencies involved. The signatories of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment support the adoption of the following practices in research assessment. General Recommendation 1. Do not use journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors, as a surrogate measure of the quality of individual research articles, to assess an individual scientist's contributions, or in hiring, promotion, or funding decisions. For funding agencies 2. Be explicit about the criteria used in evaluating the scientific productivity of grant applicants and clearly highlight, especially for early-stage investigators, that the scientific content of a paper is much more important than publication metrics or the identity of the journal in which it was published. 3. For the purposes of research assessment, consider the value and impact of all research outputs (including datasets and software) in addition to research publications, and consider a broad range of impact measures including qualitative indicators of research impact, such as influence on policy and practice. For institutions 4. Be explicit about the criteria used to reach hiring, tenure, and promotion decisions, clearly highlighting, especially for early-stage investigators, that the scientific content of a paper is much more important than publication metrics or the identity of the journal in which it was published. 5. For the purposes of research assessment, consider the value and impact of all research outputs (including datasets and software) in addition to research publications, and consider a broad range of impact measures including qualitative indicators of research impact, such as influence on policy and practice. For publishers 6. Greatly reduce emphasis on the journal impact factor as a promotional tool, ideally by ceasing to promote the impact factor or by presenting the metric in the context of a variety of journal-based metrics (e.g., 5-year impact factor, EigenFactor [8], SCImago [9], h-index, editorial and publication times, etc.) that provide a richer view of journal performance. 7. Make available a range of article-level metrics to encourage a shift toward assessment based on the scientific content of an article rather than publication metrics of the journal in which it was published. 8. Encourage responsible authorship practices and the provision of information about the specific contributions of each author. 9. Whether a journal is open-access or subscription-based, remove all reuse limitations on reference lists in research articles and make them available under the Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication [10]. 10. Remove or reduce the constraints on the number of references in research articles, and, where appropriate, mandate the citation of primary literature in favor of reviews in order to give credit to the group(s) who first reported a finding. For organizations that supply metrics 11. Be open and transparent by providing data and methods used to calculate all metrics. 12. Provide the data under a licence that allows unrestricted reuse, and provide computational access to data, where possible. 13. Be clear that inappropriate manipulation of metrics will not be tolerated; be explicit about what constitutes inappropriate manipulation and what measures will be taken to combat this. 14. Account for the variation in article types (e.g., reviews versus research articles), and in different subject areas when metrics are used, aggregated, or compared. For researchers 15. When involved in committees making decisions about funding, hiring, tenure, or promotion, make assessments based on scientific content rather than publication metrics. 16. Wherever appropriate, cite primary literature in which observations are first reported rather than reviews in order to give credit where credit is due. 17. Use a range of article metrics and indicators on personal/supporting statements, as evidence of the impact of individual published articles and other research outputs [11]. 18. Challenge research assessment practices that rely inappropriately on Journal Impact Factors and promote and teach best practice that focuses on the value and influence of specific research outputs.

Of course it is absurd to use the journal impact factor as a proxy for (1) journal, (2) article or (3) author quality -- although it has to be admitted that in most fields there is a positive correlation (though a correlation that is increasingly weak, moving from (1) to (3)). Article and author citation counts are better, though still not enough. There are ways in which OA can help research assessment (generating and harvesting rich new metrics of importance, influence and impact), and, of course, maximising access and impact. But research first has to be made OA, before OA can generate the rich new metrics. I did not sign DORA, however, because of this piece of patent absurdity: "...clearly highlight, especially for early-stage investigators, that the scientific content of a paper is much more important than publication metrics or the identity of the journal in which it was published." Of course an article's quality is more important than metrics or journal name. And what's in a student's head is more important than the marks he gets. But the marks (metrics) are the way to assess what is in a student's head, when you do not have X-rays at your disposal! And of course the journal name matters, because the journal's track-record for peer review quality standards matters. Ideally, every single paper written should be read and evaluated by qualified experts (maybe even by God) every time its author's contributions are assessed. But in practice that simply cannot be done, realistically. And that's what peer review is supposed to have done. And the journal name has a track-record for peer review standards behind it. I've become allergic to recommendations of the kind I quoted above, because they have so often been used as special pleading for new Gold OA journals, implying that they have an unfair handicap because they don't have an ISI impact factor, or don't have a high enough one -- whereas the truth is that they simply have no track record for peer review quality standards, hence there is no way to know what their quality standards are. (If every paper could in fact be read by a qualified expert every time it enters into an assessment, that would be a solution, but there's no way on earth that can be practically implemented, so we have to rely on metrics and track records.) In the Gold OA context, some people have also implied that authors should choose journals on the basis of their economic model (Gold OA) instead of their quality standards -- and that tenure committees should somehow give special compensatory weight to journals without track records, simply because they are OA. I think that is nonsense, and also does a disservice to OA (along lines similar to the way the predatory Gold OA journals do OA a disservice). The only advice to give to early-stage (or any-stage) investigators is to try to publish in the journal with the highest quality standards your work can meet -- and that their performance assessment committee should weight their work accordingly (if they cannot assign a qualified peer to re-do the peer review every time it is assessed!).

As such, we are glad to invite submissions to the TPDL 2013 Doctoral Consortium. The TPDL Doctoral Consortium follows an important tradition of events aimed at providing, to the next generation of young, talented Digital Library researchers, a friendly and lively atmosphere for presenting their research ideas, exchange experiences with peers, and receive constructive feedback on their work from the international research community. Some of the goals of the TPDL Doctoral Consortium include: - help doctoral candidates formulate research questions and organize their research; - help forge new relationships and collaborations within the International Digital Library community, promoting collaborative research; and - support a new generation of researchers with information and advice on academic, research, industrial, and non-traditional career paths. * Submissions * Submissions, in the format of extended abstracts of up to ten (10) pages, must focus on digital libraries related issues, and should summarize work at a stage of progress in which feedback from the international community might be of value. It is expected that students who submit extended abstracts have already finished the first part of their research (one-two years of their studies), but still are in the middle of their research work. A panel of prominent researchers participating in the TPDL Program Committee will conduct the workshop. They will review all the submissions and comment on the content of the work as well as on the presentation. Students will have 20 minutes to present their research, focusing on the main theme of their thesis, what they have achieved so far, and how they plan to continue their work. The following 20 minutes are reserved for discussion and feedback from the panel of reviewers. The Doctoral Consortium will take place on a single full day. Up to 12 students will have the opportunity to participate. Submissions should be related to one or more of the conference themes as stated in the Call for Research Papers. Moreover, they should be presented in a way that demonstrates the link to the chosen conference theme(s), and they should contain: - a clear formulation of the research topic and research hypotheses; - an outline of the significant problems in the field and their current solutions; - a description of the proposed approach and its expected contributions; - a discussion of preliminary results; and - an evaluation (-plan) of the research. All papers must be written in English and follow Springer's LNCS guidelines. Please send your submission directly by email to the Doctoral Consortium chairs Marcos Gon?alves (mgoncalv at dcc.ufmg.br) or Stefan Gradmann (stefan.gradmann at ibi.hu-berlin.de) with Subject "TPDL 2013 Doctoral Consortium Submission". Revised versions of the presented extended abstracts will be published after the conference in a special issue of the TCDL Bulletin, the publication of the IEEE-CS Technical Committee on Digital Libraries (http://www.ieee-tcdl.org/Bulletin/current/index.html). * Important Dates * - Extended abstract submission: June 2, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: June 24, 2013 - Submission of final abstract: July 15, 2013 - Doctoral Consortium: September 22, 2013 * More information * Inquiries can be sent to the Doctoral Consortium Chairs Marcos Gon?alves (mgoncalv at dcc.ufmg.br) and Stefan Gradmann (stefan.gradmann at ibi.hu-berlin.de).

This ranking by fields was developed due to the lack of visibility of Spanish universities in international university rankings. It offers 12 rankings by broad fields and 37 rankings by scientific disciplines. The rankings are available at: *http://rankinguniversidades.es* It is based on data from the Web of Science and ranks universities according to the IFQ2A Index, which is based on six bibliometric indicators taking into account the qualitative and quantitative dimensions of research. This rankings are developed jointly by the EC3 Research Groupfrom the University of Granada and the University of Navarra (Daniel Torres-Salinas, Nicol?s Robinson-Garc?a, Emilio Delgado L?pez-C?zar) and theSoft Computing and Intelligent Information Systems - SCI2S from the University of Granada (Francisco Herrera, Isaac Triguero).

URL: From anupdas2072 at GMAIL.COM Tue May 28 04:46:09 2013 From: anupdas2072 at GMAIL.COM (anup kumar das) Date: Tue, 28 May 2013 14:16:09 +0530 Subject: Editorial "Research Assessment: Declaring War on the Impact Factor" Message-ID: Research Assessment: Declaring War on the Impact Factor by P. Balaram Editorial, *Current Science*, 104(10): 1267-1268, 25 May 2013 Nearly forty years ago, when I began my research career in India, science proceeded at a leisurely pace. There was little by way of funding or major facilities even at the best of institutions. Enthusiasm and interest were the key ingredients in maintaining a focus on research. The environment still contained many role models, who had made significant contributions to their chosen fields, under undoubtedly difficult circumstances. The mid-1970s was a time when political and economic uncertainties precluded a great deal of government interest in promoting science. There was relatively little pressure on researchers to publish papers. The age of awards and financial incentives lay in the distant future. In those more sedate times, the results of research were written up when the findings appeared interesting enough to be communicated. The choice of journals was limited and most scientists seemed to be content with submitting manuscripts to journals where their peers might indeed read the papers. Journals were still read in libraries. Note taking was common, photocopies were rare and the ?on-line journal? had not yet been conceived. The academic environment was not overtly competitive. I never heard the word ?scooped? in the context of science, until well into middle age. Eugene Garfield?s ?journal impact factor? (JIF) had not penetrated into the discourse of scientists, although the parameters for ranking journals had been introduced into the literature much earlier. The word ?citation? was rarely heard. In the library of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) there was a lone volume of the 1975 Science Citation Index (a hardbound, printed version, extinct today), presumably obtained gratis, which sat forlorn and unused on rarely visited shelves. Only a few hardy and curious readers would even venture near this sample of the Citation Index, which seemed of little use. It required both effort and energy to search the literature in the 1970s. Few could have foreseen a time when administrators of science in distant Delhi would be obsessed with the many metrics of measuring science, of which the JIF was a forerunner. Indeed, the unchecked and virulent growth of the use of scientometric indices in assessing science has at last begun to attract a backlash; an ?insurgency? that has resulted in the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), whose stated intention is to begin ?putting science into the assessment of research?. The declaration is signed by ?an ad -hoc coalition of unlikely insurgents ? scientists, journal editors and publishers, scholarly societies, and research funders across many scientific disciplines?, who gathered at the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology ( am.ascb.org/dora/May 16, 2013). An editorial by Bruce Alberts in the May 17 issue of Science (2013, 340, 787) notes that ?DORA aims to stop the use of the ?journal impact factor? in judging an individual scientist?s work in order ?to correct distortions in the evaluation of scientific research? ?. The origins of the ?impact factor? may be traced to a largely forgotten paper that appeared in Science in 1927, which described a study carried out at Pomona College in California, that begins on an intriguing note: ?Whether we would have it or not, the purpose of a small college is changing?. The authors describe an attempt to draw up a priority list of chemistry journals to be obtained for the library. Budgetary constraints were undoubtedly a major matter of concern in the late 1920s. I cannot resist reproducing here the authors? stated purpose in carrying out this exercise over eighty five years ago, as their words may strike a chord in readers interested in the problem of uplifting the science departments of colleges in India today: ?What files of scientific periodicals are needed in a college library successfully to prepare the student for advanced work, taking into consideration also those materials necessary for the stimulation and intellectual development of the faculty? This latter need is quite as important as the first because of the increasing demand of the colleges for instructors with the doctorate degree. Such men are reluctant to accept positions in colleges where facilities for continuing the research which they have learned to love are lacking? (Gross, P. L. K. and Gross, E. M., Science, 1927, LXVI, 385). The procedure adopted was simple; draw up a list of journals most frequently cited in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), the flagship publication of the American Chemical Society. Much can be learnt about the history of chemistry (and, indeed, more generally about science) by examining the list of the top six journals (other than JACS) recommended for a college chemistry library in the United States, in 1927: Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft, The Journal of the Chemical Society (London), Zeitschrift f?r Physikalische Chemie, Annalen der Chemie (Liebig?s), The Journal of Physical Chemistry and The Journal of Biological Chemistry. Clearly, in the 1920s the literature of chemistry was overwhelmingly dominated by European journals. For students growing up in the frenetic world of modern science, I might add that Science, Nature and PNAS appear far down the list. A similar exercise carried out today would reveal a dramatically different list of journals; undoubtedly a reflection of the turbulent history of the 20th century. The journal impact factor emerged in the 1970s as a tool to rank journals. In the early years, it was largely a metric that was of limited interest. The revolution in the biomedical sciences resulted in an explosive growth of journals in the last two decades of the 20th century; a period that coincided with the dramatic rise of information technology and the emergence of the internet. The acquisition of the Institute for Scientific Information by Thomson Reuters lent a hard commercial edge to the marketing of the tools and databases of scientometrics; the Web of Science began to enmesh the world of science. Journal impact factors appear unfailingly, every year, making the business of publishing science journals an extremely competitive exercise. Journal editors scramble to devise schemes for enhancing impact factors and scientists are drawn to submit articles to journals that appear high on the ranking lists. If JIFs were used only to compare journals there may have been little to grumble about. Unfortunately, individuals soon began to be judged by the impact factors of the journals in which they had published. Some years ago the use of an ?average impact factor? was actively promoted in India, to judge both individuals and institutions. The introduction of the ?h-index?, a citation based parameter that appeared in the literature a few years ago, as a means of ranking individual performance, may have drawn away a few adherents of the average impact factor. Very few proponents of the JIF as an assessment tool in India appear conscious of obvious limitations. Most impact factors are driven up by a few highly cited papers, while others bask in reflected glory. The field specific nature of the JIF can lead to extremely misleading conclusions, when comparing individuals and institutions using this imperfect metric. Despite these drawbacks, the use of JIF as a tool of research assessment has reached epidemic proportions worldwide, with countries like India, China and the countries of southern Europe being among the hardest hit. Students in India, particularly those working in the biological sciences and chemistry in many of our best institutions, are especially self conscious; constantly worrying about the JIF when they submit papers. The Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) is a call to take up arms against the insidious JIF. Its general recommendation is a call for a boycott: ?Do not use journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors, as a surrogate measure of the quality of individual research articles, to assess an individual scientist?s contributions, or in hiring, promotion, or funding decisions.? Scholarship and achievement can be judged without using a metric that was never designed for the purpose. The Declaration also has a message that may well be worth heeding by researchers in India: ?Challenge research assessment practices that rely inappropriately on Journal Impact Factors and promote and teach best practice that focuses on the value and influence of specific research outputs.? In his Science editorial, Alberts is trenchant: ?The misuse of the journal impact factor is highly destructive, inviting a gaming of the metric that can bias journals against publishing papers in fields (such as social sciences or ecology) that are much less cited than others (such as biomedicine).? Research assessments have also become commonplace in ranking institutions. The metrics used rely substantially on publication numbers and citations, invariably based on the Web of Science, although additional parameters contribute in differing ranking schemes. In recent times, both the Prime Minister and the President have publicly lamented that no Indian university or institution appeared in the ?top 200? in the world (The Hindu, 5 February 2013 and 16 April 2013). While there may be much to lament about in Indian higher education, are the rankings really an issue that needs immediate attention? In an Op-Ed piece in The Hindu (9 March 2013), Philip Altbach is categorical: ?For India, or other developing countries to obsess about rankings is a mistake. There may be lessons, but not rules.... The global rankings measure just one kind of academic excellence, and even here the tools of measurement are far from perfect.? Altbach notes, and many analysts would undoubtedly agree, that two systems, ?the Academic Ranking of World Universities, popularly known as the ?Shanghai rankings?, and the World University Rankings of Times Higher Education (THE) are methodologically respectable and can be taken seriously?. While the former measures only research impact, with several parameters weighted towards the highest level of achievement (number of Nobel prize recipients in an institution), the latter ?measures a wider array of variables?. Altbach adds: ?Research and its impact is at the top of the list, but reputation is also included as are several other variables such as teaching quality and internationalization. But since there is no real way to measure teaching or internationalization weak proxies are used. Reputation is perhaps the most controversial element in most of the national and global rankings.? Altbach?s critique, of an apparent obsession with university rankings in India, was quickly countered by Phil Baty, the editor of THE rankings who warns: ?...it would be a far greater mistake for Indian institutions and policy makers to under-use the global rankings than to overuse them? (The Hindu, 11 April 2013). It may indeed be important for institutions to appreciate the rules of the game if they are to achieve a competitive score. Policy makers would also benefit if they set out to understand the tools of research assessment before they begin to use them.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dear All, I am doing my term paper, and I need extract data from WOS for. I want to extract those authors that publish article by affiliation of the Korea University. So, retrieved the results (article that published by affiliation of the University) and put them in HistCite. But, there was big problem. When I download the Data, All authors of the articles (I mean the co-author) will be downloaded; so, when I get output from HistCite, authors with the same name (for example Xang, Asu & Xang, Armusy under the same name of Xang, A.) will be merged and my analysis will be failed. I really in trouble with this problem and I couldn't my thesis because of. Could you help me, please. I need your help extremely!

Some of the coastal provinces stand out as expected, but the metropolitan areas of Beijing and Shanghai are (with Tianjan and Chonqing) most pronounced at the next-lower administrative level of (339) prefectures, since these four metropoles are administratively defined at both levels. Focusing on high- and medium-tech manufacturing, a shift toward Beijing and Shanghai is indicated, and the synergy is on average enhanced (as expected; but not for all provinces). Unfortunately, the Orbis data is incomplete since it was collected for commercial and not for administrative or governmental purposes. However, we show a methodology that can be used by others who may have access to higher-quality statistical data for the measurement.
