Abstract: 
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) is one of the
world's most secretive and reclusive states. In scientometrics, even the
United Nations, which compiles data from every country of the world, has
been able to do little beyond counting the few scientific papers made
publicly available (UNESCO 2010). The world could benefit from knowing
more about North Korean science, which is quite well developed-witness
all the concern about their nuclear energy and rocket launches. Here an
analysis is presented of the North Korean presence in the world's
scientific literature, and of the possibilities for collaboration which
offers a mechanism for positive development for their citizens and also
for their neighbours.

Abstract: 
Background: Bibliometric analysis of scientific performance within a
country or speciality, facilitate the recognition of factors that may
further enhance research activity and performance. Our aim was to
illicit the current state of Irelands orthopaedic research output in
terms of quantity and quality.
Methods: We performed a retrospective bibliometric analysis of all Irish
orthopaedic publications over the past 5 years, in the top 20
peer-reviewed orthopaedic journals. Utilising the MEDLINE database, each
journal was evaluated for articles that were published over the study
period. Reviews, editorials, reports and letters were excluded. Each
article abstract was analysed for research content, and country of
origin. A nation's mean IF was defined by multiplying each journal's IF
by the number of articles. Publications per million (PmP) was calculated
by dividing the total number of publications by the population of each
country.
Results: We analysed a total of 25,595 article abstracts. Ireland
contributed 109 articles in total (0.42% of all articles), however
ranking according to population per million was 10th worldwide. Ireland
ranked 18th worldwide in relation to mean *impact factor*, which was
2.91 over the study period. Ireland published in 16 of the top 20
journals, 9 of these were of European origin, and 1 of the top 5 was of
American origin. In total, 61 Irish articles were assignable to clinical
orthopaedic units. Clinical based studies (randomised controlled trials,
observational, and epidemiology/bibliometric articles) and research
based studies (In vivo, In vitro, and biomechanical) numbered 76 (69.7%)
and 33 (30.2%) articles, respectively.
Conclusion: This study provides a novel overview of current Irish
orthopaedic related research, and, how our standards translate to the
worldwide orthopaedic community. In order to maintain our publication
productivity, academic research should continue to be encouraged at post
graduate level. (C) 2013 Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh

Abstract: 
Purpose: To characterize the 100 most-cited articles in medical imaging.
Materials and Methods: The Scopus database was searched for citations to
articles published in any of the 116 journals in the subject category
"radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging" at the Institute of
Science Information Web of Science that the authors termed "imaging
literature." Using the Scopus database, two authors searched electronic
and print versions of these journals to determine the 100 most-cited
articles. The following data were collected for each article: journal
name, journal *impact factor*, number of authors, publication year,
country in which the study was performed, department of all authors,
article type, imaging modality, grant funding, and clinical
subspecialty. Statistical and/or mathematic, magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging technique, image processing and/or analysis and computer
science, new imaging technique, and basic science articles were
considered "preclinical." Using the Pearson correlation coefficient, the
authors examined the relationship between journal *impact factor* and
the number of top 100 cited articles included in the list.
Results: Most studies were classified as preclinical (n = 75).
Fifty-eight of the 100 articles were neuroradiology articles. NeuroImage
had the most highly cited articles (n = 22). MR imaging was the most
commonly studied imaging modality (n = 69). The authors of 51 articles
were from radiology departments. Most articles were published from 1990
to the present (n = 87). There was a statistically significant positive
correlation between journal *impact factor* and the number of top 100
cited articles (r = 0.46, P < .001).
Conclusion: Preclinical articles, primarily in the field of neurologic
MR imaging, were highly represented in the top 100 cited articles in the
medical imaging literature. (C) RSNA, 2013

IMPACT FACTORS

Abstract: 
Science has recently been accelerating at a fast rate, resulting in what
has been called "information overload" and more recently "filter
failure". In this perspective, journal performance indicators can play
an important role in journal evaluation. Opinions on the appropriate use
of journal-level bibliometrics indicators can be divided but they have
now long been used as measures in research evaluation, and many editors
see it as part of their editorial duty to try and improve bibliometrics
indicators and rankings for their journal. There are various techniques
through which this can be attempted, some more ethical than others. Some
editors may try to boost the bibliometrics performance of their journals
through gratuitous citations. This is problematic because citations are
meant to provide useful references, scientifically justifiable, to
previously published literature. As such citations can be used as widely
accepted measures of scientific impact. Therefore, superfluous citations
can distort the validity of bibliometrics indicators. It might be
tempting to try to improve a journal's bibliometrics rankings at all
costs, but these are only as meaningful as the data that feed into them.
Exceedingly inflated indicators due to unethical behaviours can damage
the reputation of a journal and its editors, and can lead to a loss of
quality manuscript submissions, which in turn is likely to affect the
journal's future citation impact. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All

Abstract: 
There is evidence that the growth of medical literature in India is
phenomenal. However, the trajectory of this growth requires further
study and the findings need to be disseminated. With this in mind the
present study attempts to draw inferences on the trajectory of four
broad domains of medical sciences in India over the span of 16 years,
utilizing the available scientometrics information. The results are
indicative of differential growth trajectory in many sub-disciplines of
medical sciences. The specialities such as epidemiology, obstetrics and
gynaecology, geriatrics and psychiatry and mental health, need to be
pursued more seriously.

Abstract: 
Methods. Articles published in 39 rheumatology journals from 1996 to
2010 were screened using the Scopus database. The number of articles,
citations, Hirsch indices (h-indices) and international collaborations
were determined for countries or regions. Publication activity was
adjusted for the top 35 countries categorized by population size and
gross domestic product (GDP).
Results. A total of 43 808 articles were identified. The time trend of
the number of articles showed an increase of 2.95-fold between 1996 and
2010. Western Europe and northern America were the most productive world
areas, producing 52.4% and 23.1% of the available literature,
respectively. The USA published the most articles, followed by the UK
and Germany. The USA, the UK and the Netherlands had the highest
h-indices (169, 137 and 117, respectively) and ranked about the same
when total citations were used. However, Ireland had the highest average
citations per article (48.33), followed by Denmark (40.19) and the
Netherlands (39.86). Positive associations between the total number of
publications/citations and population/GDP were observed (P < 0.01).
Scandinavian countries ranked the highest after adjusting for population
and GDP.
Conclusion. The USA and Western Europe clearly dominate the production
of scientific publications in rheumatology. However, some smaller
European countries have high scientific output relative to their size.

Abstract: 
We investigate if the shape of citation curves of Chinese publications
in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology converge to those of
America and find that they, indeed, do. The used approach is size
independent and, hence, can be used to compare not only large countries
but also countries of intermediate size.

Abstract: 
OBJECTIVE: Analyze the use of the h-index as a measure of the
bibliometric impact of Brazilian researchers' scientific publications.
METHODS: The scientific production of Brazilian CNPq 1-A researchers in
the areas of public health, immunology and medicine were compared. The
mean h-index of the groups of researchers in each area were estimated
and nonparametric Kruskal Wallis test and multiple comparisons
Behrens-Fisher test were used to compare the differences.
RESULTS: The h-index means were higher in the area of Immunology than in
Public Health and Medicine when the Web of Science base was used.
However, this difference disappears when the comparison is made using
Scopus or Google Scholar.
CONCLUSIONS: The emergence of Google Scholar brings a new level to
discussions on the measure of the bibliometric impact of scientific
publications. Areas with strong professional components, in which
knowledge is produced and must also be published in the native language,
vis-a-vis its dissemination to the international community, necessarily
have a standard of scientific publications and citations different from
areas exclusively or predominantly academic and they are best captured
by Google Scholar.

Abstract: 
Empirical analysis of the relationship between the impact factor - as
measured by the average number of citations - and the proportion of
uncited material in a collection dates back at least to van Leeuwen and
Moed (2005) where graphical presentations revealed striking patterns.
Recently Hsu and Huang (2012) have proposed a simple functional
relationship. Here it is shown that the general features of these
observed regularities are predicted by a well-established informetric
model which enables us to derive a theoretical van Leeuwen Moed lower
bound. We also question some of the arguments of Hsu and Huang (2012)
and Egghe (2013) while various issues raised by Egghe (2008, 2013) are
also addressed. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: 
Journal metrics are employed for the assessment of scientific scholar
journals from a general bibliometric perspective. In this context, the
Thomson Reuters journal impact factors (JIFs) are the citation-based
indicators most used. The 2-year journal impact factor (2-JIF) counts
citations to one and two year old articles, while the 5-year journal
impact factor (5-JIF) counts citations from one to five year old
articles. Nevertheless, these indicators are not comparable among fields
of science for two reasons: (i) each field has a different impact
maturity time, and (ii) because of systematic differences in publication
and citation behavior across disciplines. In fact, the 5-JIF firstly
appeared in the journal Citation Reports OCR) in 2007 with the purpose
of making more comparable impacts in fields in which impact matures
slowly. However, there is not an optimal fixed impact maturity time
valid for all the fields. In some of them two years provides a good
performance whereas in others three or more years are necessary.
Therefore, there is a problem when comparing a journal from a field in
which impact matures slowly with a journal from a field in which impact
matures rapidly. In this work, we propose the 2-year maximum journal
impact factor (2M-JIF), a new impact indicator that considers the 2-year
rolling citation time window of maximum impact instead of the previous
2-year time window. Finally, an empirical application comparing 2-JIF,
5-JIF, and 2M-JIF shows that the maximum rolling target window reduces
the between-group variance with respect to the within-group variance in
a random sample of about six hundred journals from eight different
fields. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: 
In citation network analysis, complex behavior is reduced to a simple
edge, namely, node A cites node B. The implicit assumption is that A is
giving credit to, or acknowledging, B. It is also the case that the
contributions of all citations are treated equally, even though some
citations appear multiply in a text and others appear only once. In this
study, we apply text-mining algorithms to a relatively large dataset
(866 information science articles containing 32,496 bibliographic
references) to demonstrate the differential contributions made by
references. We (1) look at the placement of citations across the
different sections of a journal article, and (2) identify highly cited
works using two different counting methods (CountOne and CountX). We
find that (1) the most highly cited works appear in the Introduction and
Literature Review sections of citing papers, and (2) the citation
rankings produced by CountOne and CountX differ. That is to say,
counting the number of times a bibliographic reference is cited in a
paper rather than treating all references the same no matter how many
times they are invoked in the citing article reveals the differential
contributions made by the cited works to the citing paper. Published by

Abstract: 
Wide differences in publication and citation practices make impossible
the direct comparison of raw citation counts across scientific
disciplines. Recent research has studied new and traditional
normalization procedures aimed at suppressing as much as possible these
disproportions in citation numbers among scientific domains. Using the
recently introduced IDCP (Inequality due to Differences in Citation
Practices) method, this paper rigorously tests the performance of six
cited-side normalization procedures based on the Thomson Reuters
classification system consisting of 172 sub-fields. We use six yearly
datasets from 1980 to 2004, with widely varying citation windows from
the publication year to May 2011. The main findings are the following
three. Firstly, as observed in previous research, within each year the
shapes of sub-field citation distributions are strikingly similar. This
paves the way for several normalization procedures to perform reasonably
well in reducing the effect on citation inequality of differences in
citation practices. Secondly, independently of the year of publication
and the length of the citation window, the effect of such differences
represents about 13% of total citation inequality. Thirdly, a recently
introduced two-parameter normalization scheme outperforms the other
normalization procedures over the entire period, reducing citation
disproportions to a level very close to the minimum achievable given the
data and the classification system. However, the traditional procedure
of using sub-field mean citations as normalization factors yields also
good results. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: 
To take into account the impact of the different bibliometric features
of scientific fields and different size of both the publication set
evaluated and the set used as reference standard, two new impact
indicators are introduced. The Percentage Rank Position (PRP) indicator
relates the ordinal rank position of the article assessed to the total
number of papers in the publishing journal. The publications in the
publishing journal are ranked by the decreasing citation frequency. The
Relative Elite Rate (RER) indicator relates the number of citations
obtained by the article assessed to the mean citation rate of the papers
in the elite set of the publishing journal. The indices can be
preferably calculated from the data of the publications in the elite set
of journal papers of individuals, teams, institutes or countries. The
number of papers in the elite set is calculated by the equation:
P(pi(nu))=(10 log P) - 10, where P is the total number of papers. The
mean of the PRP and RER indicators of the journal papers assessed may be
applied for comparing the eminence of publication sets across fields.

Abstract: 
Is more always better? We address this question in the context of
bibliometric indices that aim to assess the scientific impact of
individual researchers by counting their number of highly cited
publications. We propose a simple model in which the number of citations
of a publication depends not only on the scientific impact of the
publication but also on other 'random' factors. Our model indicates that
more need not always be better. It turns out that the most influential
researchers may have a systematically lower performance, in terms of
highly cited publications, than some of their less influential
colleagues. The model also suggests an improved way of counting highly
cited publications. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: 
In an age of intensifying scientific collaboration, the counting of
papers by multiple authors has become an important methodological issue
in scientometric based research evaluation. Especially, how counting
methods influence institutional level research evaluation has not been
studied in existing literatures. In this study, we selected the top 300
universities in physics in the 2011 HEEACT Ranking as our study
subjects. We compared the university rankings generated from four
different counting methods (i.e. whole counting, straight counting using
first author, straight counting using corresponding author, and
fractional counting) to show how paper counts and citation counts and
the subsequent university ranks were affected by counting method
selection. The counting was based on the 1988-2008 physics papers
records indexed in ISI WoS. We also observed how paper and citation
counts were inflated by whole counting. The results show that counting
methods affected the universities in the middle range more than those in
the upper or lower ranges. Citation counts were also more affected than
paper counts. The correlation between the rankings generated from whole
counting and those from the other methods were low or negative in the
middle ranges. Based on the findings, this study concluded that straight
counting and fractional counting were better choices for paper count and
citation count in the institutional level research evaluation. (C) 2013

Abstract: 
Objective: This study examined citation patterns and indexing coverage
from 2008 to 2010 to determine (1) the core literature of health care
chaplaincy and (2) the resources providing optimum coverage for the
literature.
Methods: Citations from three source journals (2008-2010 inclusive) were
collected and analyzed according to the protocol created for the Mapping
the Literature of Allied Health Professions Project. An analysis of
indexing coverage by five databases was conducted. A secondary analysis
of self-citations by source journals was also conducted.
Results: The 3 source journals-Chaplaincy Today, the Journal of Health
Care Chaplaincy, and the Journal of Pastoral Care and Counseling-ranked
as the top 3 journals in Zone 1 and provided the highest number of most
frequently cited articles for health care chaplaincy. Additional
journals that appeared in this highly productive zone covered the
disciplines of medicine, psychology, nursing, and religion, which were
also represented in the Zones 2 and 3 journals. None of the databases
provided complete coverage for the core journals; however, MEDLINE
provided the most comprehensive coverage for journals in Zones 1 and 2,
followed by Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and ATLA.
Self-citations for the source journals ranged from 9% to 16%.
Conclusions: Health care chaplaincy draws from a diverse body of
inter-professional literature. Libraries wishing to provide access to
journal literature to support health care chaplaincy at their
institutions will be best able to do this by subscribing to databases
and journals that cover medical, psychological, nursing, and religion-or
spirituality-focused disciplines.

Abstract: 
The practice of listing co-author surnames in alphabetical order,
irrespective of their contribution, can make it difficult to effectively
allocate research credit to authors. This article compares the
percentages of articles with co-authors in alphabetical order
(alphabetization) for two-author, three-author and four-author articles
in eighteen social sciences in 1995 and 2010 to assess how widespread
this practice is. There is some degree of alphabetization in all
disciplines except one but the level varies substantially between
disciplines. This level is increasing slightly over time, on average,
but it has increased substantially in a few disciplines and decreased in
others, showing that the practice of alphabetization is not fading away.
A high correlation between alphabetical order and the proportion of
first authors near the beginning of the alphabet confirms that high
percentages of alphabetical order could affect the appropriate
allocation of research credit. Similar patterns were found for science
and the humanities. Finally, since some degree of alphabetization is
almost universal in social science disciplines, this practice may be
affecting careers throughout the social sciences and hence seems
indefensible. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: 
The study documents the growth in the number of journals and articles
along with the increase in normalized citation rates of open access (OA)
journals listed in the Scopus bibliographic database between 1999 and
2010. Longitudinal statistics on growth in journals/articles and
citation rates are broken down by funding model, discipline, and whether
the journal was launched or had converted to OA. The data were retrieved
from the websites of SCIMago Journal and Country Rank (journal/article
counts), JournalM3trics (SNIP2 values), Scopus (journal discipline) and
Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) (OA and funding status). OA
journals/articles have grown much faster than subscription journals but
still make up less that 12% of the journals in Scopus. Two-year citation
averages for journals funded by Article Processing Charges (APCs) have
reached the same level as subscription journals. Citation averages of OA
journals funded by other means continue to lag well behind OA journals
funded by APCs and subscription journals. We hypothesize this is less an
issue of quality than due to the fact that such journals are commonly
published in languages other than English and tend to be located outside
the four major publishing countries. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

Abstract: 
Wide differences in publication and citation practices make impossible
the direct comparison of raw citation counts across scientific
disciplines. Recent research has studied new and traditional
normalization procedures aimed at suppressing as much as possible these
disproportions in citation numbers among scientific domains. Using the
recently introduced IDCP (Inequality due to Differences in Citation
Practices) method, this paper rigorously tests the performance of six
cited-side normalization procedures based on the Thomson Reuters
classification system consisting of 172 sub-fields. We use six yearly
datasets from 1980 to 2004, with widely varying citation windows from
the publication year to May 2011. The main findings are the following
three. Firstly, as observed in previous research, within each year the
shapes of sub-field citation distributions are strikingly similar. This
paves the way for several normalization procedures to perform reasonably
well in reducing the effect on citation inequality of differences in
citation practices. Secondly, independently of the year of publication
and the length of the citation window, the effect of such differences
represents about 13% of total citation inequality. Thirdly, a recently
introduced two-parameter normalization scheme outperforms the other
normalization procedures over the entire period, reducing citation
disproportions to a level very close to the minimum achievable given the
data and the classification system. However, the traditional procedure
of using sub-field mean citations as normalization factors yields also
good results. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: 
This article presents the results of a descriptive research with
quantitative approach and strategy based on the documentary method, with
the aim of analyzing the references listed in articles appearing in
regular publications of the Journal "Gestao & Producao" by adapting the
concepts of bibliometric citation analysis. Given the objective of the
research, an analysis was made of the reference lists specifying: 1) how
subjects investigated the documents referenced in the articles, 2) as
elements of deterministic variables obtained by analyzing references
and, 3) as the type of bibliographic research resource. Based on these
parameters, documents were analyzed used in the theoretical basis of the
articles by means of identification, mapping and quantitative
determination: a) of the items listed in each study; b) the mean life of
the literature; c) the language; d) the frequency of use of references
and; e) research front. As a result, the main aspects of the sources of
researches on which studies in Production Engineering and its sub areas
are based were mapped.

Abstract: 
This paper evaluates research in Forensic Anthropology (FA) in order to
report on the state of this field of science. In particular, we carried
out a review of all PubMed-listed scientific studies in the past decades
using "forensic anthropology" as the keyword. In our "meta-analysis", we
observed variation in the number of publications per 2-year interval
throughout the study period. In total, 1589 studies were found in the
database and 1292 of them were published in the period 2000-2009. There
was a significant positive correlation between the number of published
articles and time (subdivided into 2-year intervals). The rate of
increase was lower in the last decade. Based on the observed trend, we
expect that the phenomenon will continue in the near future, reaching a
number close to 400 FA publications in PubMed in the biennium 2012-13.
We also carried out a specific content analysis of all FA papers
published in the journal Forensic Science International in the last
decade. During this period, the majority of FA papers concerned skeletal
biology, although there was a positive shift toward virtual
anthropological studies.

Abstract: 
The purpose of this research was to perform a bibliometric analysis of
research journals containing scientific articles on the sport of rugby
from 1922 to 2009. In this field 2057 articles were selected from major
databases. The journals, authors and contents published were selected by
taking into account the year of publication, thematic areas and
modalities of rugby among other variables. A steady increase in
production was found in the period considered, with a maximum of 174
articles published in 2007. The articles were written by an average of
2.5 authors and most of them (80.9%) only participated in one. The data
showed a utility loss of 7.5% of the total items each year. The thematic
areas and most influential journals on rugby had been identified.
Finally, limited support has been found for attempting to adjust the
bibliometric data by applying the laws of Lotka and Price with respect
to the authors, and Bradford's law regarding scientific journals.

Abstract: 
A condition is presented as a problematic issue that can be discussed
from the following question: how does the process of construction of
normativity, technicity and/or scientificity Librarianship occur?
Discusses the construction of normativity, technicity and/or
scientificity of Librarianship contemplating the prospects within the
organization and processing of information, sources, resources and
information services, professional practices and studies focusing on
users. The study also examines the concept of norm and technique within
the scope of science and applied research Librarianship, trying to
reflect on the relevance of Information Science for the scientific and
normative constructs of Librarianship. The methodology consists of an
exploratory research with a bibliographic design. It was concluded that
the Library has an essentially technical-normative connotation, but also
has a scientific concept based on the contributions of Information
Science to the context of user studies, technologies and other elements,
in addition to other areas of knowledge of a social and technological
nature.

Abstract: 
Biologists are producing ever-increasing quantities of papers. The
question arises of whether current rates of increase in scientific
outputs are sustainable in the long term. I studied this issue using
publication data from the Web of Science (1991-2010) for 18 biological
sub-fields. In the majority of cases, an exponential regression explains
more variation than a linear one in the number of papers published each
year as a function of publication year. Exponential growth in
publication numbers is clearly not sustainable. About 75% of the
variation in publication growth among biological sub-fields over the two
studied decades can be predicted by publication data from the first six
years. Currently trendy fields such as structural biology, neuroscience
and biomaterials cannot be expected to carry on growing at the current
pace, because in a few decades they would produce more papers than the
whole of biology combined. Synthetic and systems biology are problematic
from the point of view of knowledge dissemination, because in these
fields more than 80% of existing papers have been published over the
last five years. The evidence presented here casts a shadow on how
sustainable the recent increase in scientific publications can be in the
long term.

Abstract: 
BACKGROUND: Over the past two decades, there has been a growing
recognition and emphasis on the practice of evidence-based medicine
(EBM). The level of evidence (LOE) is used to classify clinical studies
based on their quality and design. To compare the quality of scientific
journals, the *impact factor* (IF) is the most widely used ranking
measure. However, the calculation of IF is not directly dependent on the
quality or LOE of clinical articles published in a journal.
PURPOSE: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the current LOE
for clinical research in leading spinal journals and assess the
relationship between LOE and IF. We hypothesized that most clinical
research would provide level IV evidence, and that a positive
correlation would exist between the proportion of high LOE articles and
the journal IF.
STUDY DESIGN: A systematic review of all the articles in five general
spinal journals was undertaken during 2010.
SAMPLE: All online articles in The Spine Journal, Spine, European Spine
Journal, Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, and Journal of Spinal Disorders
and Techniques during 2010, as well as supplements were included.
OUTCOME MEASURE: The LOE for each clinical study was assessed using
guidelines produced by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine.
METHODS: Two reviewers independently assessed all articles.
RESULTS: Overall 703 articles were suitable for LOE grading. Of these,
4.7% provided level I evidence, 23.2% level II, 12.5% level III, and
59.6% level IV. There was a significant association between LOE and type
of study (p<.001); articles on therapeutic studies had the largest
proportion (71.8%) of level IV evidence. There was a strong positive
correlation between the proportion of level I and II evidence and the
journal *impact factor* (rho=0.9; 95% confidence interval 0.1 to 0.99;
p=.037).
CONCLUSION: Spinal surgery journals with a higher IF contain a larger
proportion of studies with high LOE, however most clinical articles
provide level IV evidence of which the highest proportion are
therapeutic studies. Clinicians, researchers, and journal editors should
work hand in hand to enhance evidence-based practice in spinal care. (C)

Abstract: 
This paper examines the issue of coercive journal self citations and the
practical usefulness of two recent journal performance metrics, namely
the Eigenfactor score, which may be interpreted as measuring "Journal
Influence", and the Article Influence score, using the Thomson Reuters
IST Web of Science (hereafter IST) data for 2009 for the 200 most highly
cited journals in each of the Sciences and Social Sciences. The paper
also compares the two new bibliometric measures with two existing ISI
metrics, namely Total Citations and the 5-Year *Impact Factor* (5YIF)
(including journal self citations) of a journal. It is shown that the
Sciences and Social Sciences are different in terms of the strength of
the relationship of journal performance metrics, although the actual
relationships are very similar. Moreover, the Journal Influence and
Article Influence journal performance metrics are shown to be closely
related empirically to the two existing ISI metrics, and hence add
little in practical usefulness to what is already known, except for
eliminating the pressure arising from coercive journal self citations.
These empirical results are compared with existing results in the
bibliometrics literature. (C) 2013 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V. All

Abstract: 
This chapter examines bibliometric assessments of research, including
publication in general, journal lists and types of citation analysis,
including individual citations and impact factors. We examine the
central role of publication in research and the reasons for this, before
examining methods of ranking publications. We discuss the benefits and
limitations of citation analysis. The Excellence in Research Australia
framework is investigated.

Abstract: 
BACKGROUND: Over the past two decades, there has been a growing
recognition and emphasis on the practice of evidence-based medicine
(EBM). The level of evidence (LOE) is used to classify clinical studies
based on their quality and design. To compare the quality of scientific
journals, the *impact factor* (IF) is the most widely used ranking
measure. However, the calculation of IF is not directly dependent on the
quality or LOE of clinical articles published in a journal.
PURPOSE: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the current LOE
for clinical research in leading spinal journals and assess the
relationship between LOE and IF. We hypothesized that most clinical
research would provide level IV evidence, and that a positive
correlation would exist between the proportion of high LOE articles and
the journal IF.
STUDY DESIGN: A systematic review of all the articles in five general
spinal journals was undertaken during 2010.
SAMPLE: All online articles in The Spine Journal, Spine, European Spine
Journal, Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, and Journal of Spinal Disorders
and Techniques during 2010, as well as supplements were included.
OUTCOME MEASURE: The LOE for each clinical study was assessed using
guidelines produced by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine.
METHODS: Two reviewers independently assessed all articles.
RESULTS: Overall 703 articles were suitable for LOE grading. Of these,
4.7% provided level I evidence, 23.2% level II, 12.5% level III, and
59.6% level IV. There was a significant association between LOE and type
of study (p<.001); articles on therapeutic studies had the largest
proportion (71.8%) of level IV evidence. There was a strong positive
correlation between the proportion of level I and II evidence and the
journal *impact factor* (rho=0.9; 95% confidence interval 0.1 to 0.99;
p=.037).
CONCLUSION: Spinal surgery journals with a higher IF contain a larger
proportion of studies with high LOE, however most clinical articles
provide level IV evidence of which the highest proportion are
therapeutic studies. Clinicians, researchers, and journal editors should
work hand in hand to enhance evidence-based practice in spinal care. (C)

Abstract: 
This paper examines the issue of coercive journal self citations and the
practical usefulness of two recent journal performance metrics, namely
the Eigenfactor score, which may be interpreted as measuring "Journal
Influence", and the Article Influence score, using the Thomson Reuters
IST Web of Science (hereafter IST) data for 2009 for the 200 most highly
cited journals in each of the Sciences and Social Sciences. The paper
also compares the two new bibliometric measures with two existing ISI
metrics, namely Total Citations and the 5-Year *Impact Factor* (5YIF)
(including journal self citations) of a journal. It is shown that the
Sciences and Social Sciences are different in terms of the strength of
the relationship of journal performance metrics, although the actual
relationships are very similar. Moreover, the Journal Influence and
Article Influence journal performance metrics are shown to be closely
related empirically to the two existing ISI metrics, and hence add
little in practical usefulness to what is already known, except for
eliminating the pressure arising from coercive journal self citations.
These empirical results are compared with existing results in the
bibliometrics literature. (C) 2013 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V. All
