See also Paul Wouter's blog tody on this topic here: http://citationculture.wordpress.com/2014/05/02/metrics-in-research-assessment-under-review/ Ismael Rafols, Ingenio (CSIC-UPV) & SPRU (Sussex) ---------------------------------------- Dear colleagues, On behalf of HEFCE (the UK?s Higher Education Funding Council), I?m chairing an independent review of the use of metrics in research management and assessment. The review will help to lay the foundations for the next cycle of the UK?s Research Excellence Framework, and we hope that our report ? due out in spring 2015 ? will also be of interest to research funders, university managers and science/research policy scholars and policymakers internationally. We?ve just issued a formal call for evidence for the review, details of which are available here: *http://www.hefce.ac.uk/whatwedo/rsrch/howfundr/metrics/ * We?d very much welcome evidence and other submissions to this call from a wide range of perspectives. I hope some within the SciSIP community might be interested and able to provide some input. Please feel free to drop me a line if you?d like more information.

The pace of publishing in this field increased exponentially over these two decades, with the US accounting for the highest h-index (87) and the most publications (1273), followed by China and India. The US also plays a central role in the collaboration network among the 20 most productive countries, while China and India do not because of their more limited cross-national authorships. The Indian Institute of Technology was the organization with the most records (126), but it has few multinational co-authored articles. In contrast, the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland is central to the collaboration network. The largest number of retrieved journal articles was in the area of energy applications (1059 articles) followed by light absorbing materials (983) and solar cells (420). Energy applications mainly address hydrogen, desalination, air conditioning, drying, heat pumps, biomass, and water splitting, while the light absorbing material mainly cover nano materials, TiO2, semiconductors, thin films, phase change material and so on. This analysis not only identifies global hotspots in solar energy research, but may also influence researchers' selection of future studies and publications. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Method: Online survey, with bibliometric analysis of a convenience volunteer sample of researchers mainly in the UK, North America and Australasia. Self-reported from Google Scholar: h-index; number of papers; number of citations; number of papers with >= 10 citations. Results: There were complete responses from 532 health services researchers of whom 371 (70%) were from the UK. Of the bibliometric measures, the h-index appeared to be the best discriminator between other measures of quality (e.g. seniority; entry into the last UK Research Assessment Exercise). The median h-index was 12, with 90th and 95th quantiles of 40 and 52, respectively. Statisticians had the highest h-index with qualitative researchers the lowest (median 16 and 7, respectively). The h-index was predicted to increase by approximately 1 point annually with the biggest increase in statisticians and smallest in qualitative researchers when estimated by quantile regression. Conclusions: The h-index is a useful summary measure of output and quality of health services researchers. However, any accurate interpretation of bibliometric measures needs to take into account a person's research discipline.

Contrary to the existing literature, we look directly at the citations of the faculty members as a measure of academic performance and avoid the classification of journals. Additionally, the country of the PhD studies was found to be a significant variable that can explain the productivity of Greek economists. PhD holders from US and UK universities are characterized by higher productivity compared to those from other countries.

Over the past 15 years a body of literature has emerged that brings together a variety of approaches to capture, map or measure the dynamics of TH relationships. We apply bibliographic coupling and co-citation in combination with content analysis to develop a better understanding of this literature. We identify several clusters that can be aggregated to two broad streams of work-one 'neo-evolutionary', the other 'neo-institutional' in nature. We make this observation both for bibliographic coupling and co-citation analyses which we take as indication of an emerging differentiation of the field. Our content analysis underlines this observation about the 'two faces' of the TH. We conclude this paper with a discussion of future opportunities for research. We see great potential in developing the application side of TH indicators. Addresses: [Meyer, Martin] Univ Kent, Kent Business Sch, Canterbury CT2 7PE, Kent, England.

International scientific collaborations are particularly important for HIV and HPV co-infection studies, since the burden of disease is rising in developing countries, but most experts and research funds are found in developed countries, where the prevalence of HIV is low. The objective of our study was to investigate patterns of international scientific collaboration in HIV and HPV research using social network analysis. Through a systematic review of the literature, we obtained epidemiological data, as well as data on countries and authors involved in co-infection studies. The collaboration network was analysed in respect to the following: centrality, density, modularity, connected components, distance, clustering and spectral clustering. We observed that for many low-and middle-income countries there were no epidemiological estimates of HPV infection of the cervix among HIV-infected individuals. Most studies found only involved researchers from the same country (64%). Studies derived from international collaborations including high-income countries and either low-or middle-income countries had on average three times larger sample sizes than those including only high-income countries or low-income countries. The high global clustering coefficient (0.9) coupled with a short average distance between researchers (4.34) suggests a "small-world phenomenon.'' Researchers from high-income countries seem to have higher degree centrality and tend to cluster together in densely connected communities. We found a large well-connected community, which encompasses 70% of researchers, and 49 other small isolated communities. Our findings suggest that in the field of HIV and HPV, there seems to be both room and incentives for researchers to engage in collaborations between countries of different income-level. Through international collaboration resources available to researchers in high-income countries can be efficiently used to enroll more participants in low-and middle-income countries.

Methods: Global and China intracranial aneurysm-related publications were retrieved from the Web of Science database from 1991 to 2012. Excel 2007, Matlab, and Thomson Data Analyzer (TDA) software were used to analyze the search results for number of publications, cited frequency, h-index, and organization contributions. Results: 16468 global papers were identified that were cited 273500 times until 2013-08-15. The United States accounted for 31.497% of the articles, 58.64% of the citations, and the highest h-index (127). Japan and Germany followed in frequency. China's articles ranked eighth (third in 2012) in total number, with most of the contributions occurring since 2002 (91.33%). China was at the early stage of the logic growth curve (exponential growth), with the citation frequency and h-index per year increasing. The quality of the publications was low. The main research centers were located in Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The main Asian funding body was the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The number of publications and frequency of citations of papers from mainland China was greater than that of Taiwan or Hong Kong. Conclusion: Global intracranial aneurysm research has been developing swiftly since 1991, with the United States making the largest contribution. Research in China started later, in 2002. Since then, China has increased its rate of publication, and became the third largest contributor by 2012.

Then we combine hyperlink weight normalization and random surfing schemes as used in PageRank to justify the new model. In the new model based on cocitation (MBCC), the pages with stronger relevancy are assigned higher values, not just depending on the outlinks. This model combines both features of HITS and PageRank. Finally, we present the results of some numerical experiments, showing that the MBCC ranking agrees with the HITS ranking, especially in top 10. Meanwhile, MBCC keeps the superiority of PageRank, that is, existence and uniqueness of ranking vectors.

The method for science mapping includes the following steps: Defining the domain; identifying keywords related to KM field and its subfields; conducting searches and collecting the publication and citation data from WoS; drawing the structure of scientific productions using scientometrics tools; enriching the science maps by adding new attributes; and analyzing the results. In this study, we provide a visualization overview of the wide distribution of KM publications. The analysis of clusters of the historiographical maps, based on Local Citation Score (LCS) and Global Citation Score (GCS), indicated the most frequent thematic trends. The co-word occurrence analysis for mapping KM research topics shows that the structure of fundamental subject areas within the field of KM has changed and expanded dynamically during 2004-2010. This study could be useful for researchers and subject specialists as well as policy makers as they may view and study the history of a discipline by drawing the structure of its scientific productions, in order to do strategically plan and determine the research priorities in the discipline.

Different methods have been proposed for researcher productivity indexing based on quantity and quality of publications. Unfortunately, none of them considered the variation among the number of citations received by a researcher for his papers. In this paper, a novel method named Variation-Index (v-index) is proposed to handle this issue. It will consider variation in number of citations received by the researcher's publications. V-index considers the consistency in citations of researcher's publication in addition to their number of publications (quantity) and number of citations (quality) for indexing. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed v-index over the existing state of the art indexing methods. This citation variation enhancement is quite general and can be merged in any of the existing indexing measures with ease. Addresses: [Daud, Ali; Yasir, S. M.

Authors: Theussl, S; Reutterer, T; Hornik, K Author Full Names: Theussl, Stefan; Reutterer, Thomas; Hornik, Kurt Source: JOURNAL OF BUSINESS RESEARCH, 67 (5):998-1006; 10.1016/j.jbusres.2013.08.006 MAY 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Journal ranking, Consensus ranking, Meta-ranking, Marketing, Binary optimization KeyWords Plus: MANAGEMENT; BUSINESS Abstract: Despite the increasing popularity of journal rankings to evaluate the quality of research contributions, the individual rankings for journals that ranked below the top tier of publications usually feature only modest agreement. Attempts to merge rankings into meta-rankings suffer from some methodological issues, such as mixed measurement scales and incomplete data. This paper addresses the issue of how to construct suitable aggregates of individual journal rankings, using an optimization-based consensus ranking approach. The authors apply the proposed method to a subset of marketing-related journals from a list of collected journal rankings. Next, the paper studies the stability of the derived consensus solution, and the degeneration effects that occur when excluding journals and/or rankings. Finally, the authors investigate the similarities/dissimilarities of the consensus with a naive meta-ranking and with individual rankings. The results show that, even though journals are not uniformly ranked, one may derive a consensus ranking with considerably high agreement with the individual rankings. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

Reference levels have been designated for productivity indicators, diffusion, and impact, which must be taken into account for the evaluation of the merits of researchers and research institutions. Research trends within this category have also been identified, allowing us to identify current themes, as well as those that have ceased to arouse the interest of journals and researchers. The characterization of productivity and publication quality of each country makes it possible to compare the importance of each study in the construction sector to other countries. This may be useful for evaluation of the effectiveness of national policies and investment in this sector. The characterization of productivity and quality of the research institutions could prove to be highly useful in analyzing the effectiveness of the strategies being carried out by each center. Moreover, this will help researchers in selecting quality research institutions for collaboration and work. journal analysis could be useful for editors when comparing their effectiveness of diffusion and internationalization to the work of other journals.

Objective: This study sought to verify how frequently national papers are cited in the references of three Brazilian physical therapy journals. Method: All references for articles published in Fisioterapia em Movimento, Fisioterapia e Pesquisa and Revista Brasileira de Fisioterapia between 2010 and 2012 were evaluated. In particular, the numbers of national articles and international articles (articles from international journals) cited in these references were determined. Results: A total of 13,009 references cited by 456 articles were analyzed, and 2,924 (22.47%) of the cited works were national articles. There were no significant differences among the three examined years. A total of 36 (7.89%) articles did not cite national articles, whereas 65 (13.25%) articles cited more national articles than international articles. Conclusion: On average, 22.47% of the works cited by the evaluated articles were national articles. No significant differences were detected among the three analyzed years.

So far as we are aware, there has been no quantification of the balance of individual's contributions and withdrawals. We compared the number of reviews provided by individual researchers (i.e., their contribution) to the number required by their submissions (i.e. their withdrawals) in a large and anonymised database provided by the British Ecological Society. The database covered the Journal of Ecology, Journal of Animal Ecology, Journal of Applied Ecology, and Functional Ecology from 2003-2010. The majority of researchers (64%) did not have balanced contributions and withdrawals. Depending on assumptions, 12% to 44% contributed more than twice as much as required; 20% to 52% contributed less than half as much as required. Balance, or lack thereof, varied little in relation to the number of years a researcher had been active (reviewing or submitting). Researchers who contributed less than required did not lack the opportunity to review. Researchers who submitted more were more likely to accept invitations to review. These finding suggest overall that peer review of the four analysed journals is not in crisis, but only due to the favourable balance of over- and under-contributing researchers. These findings are limited to the four journals analysed, and therefore cannot include researcher's other peer review activities, which if included might change the proportions reported. Relatively low effort was required to assemble, check, and analyse the data. Broader analyses of individual researcher's peer review activities would contribute to greater quality, efficiency, and fairness in the peer review system.

The 50 highest cited articles had up to 2495 citations. The top 10 papers according to absolute number were cited 580 times at least. Most papers were published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American Volume (n = 22). Eight countries contributed to the list with most contributions from the United States (n = 30). The majority of papers were published since 1990 (n = 27). Studies focusing on the clinical outcome of hip arthroplasty dominate the literature in orthopedic arthroplasty in respect to absolute citations numbers. In the last decade however, papers on perioperative management have been published that show a high citation frequency. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

For example, the following map for the 101 authors that are co-cited with Luhmann in the 73 publications of him included in WoS to 0.1% of the total citation in the set. cid:image002.jpg at 01CF6B9E.31E352E0 The program operates on the first initial and also the first name. This creates sometimes problems in the labeling; for example "van a" for "van assche k". However, the labels can be corrected manually. The output is in the Pajek format and for SPSS (the asymmetrical matrix of documents versus cited authors). An (dis)advantage may be that this routine is not limited to 25 co-cited authors. However, with much larger set, it may take a bit of time. The coloring above is based on the Louvain algorithm for community finding.

INTRODUCTION Digital libraries that store scientific publications are becoming increasingly central to the research process. They are not only used for traditional tasks, such as finding and storing research outputs, but also as a source for discovering new research trends or evaluating research excellence. With the current growth of scientific publications deposited in digital libraries, it is no longer sufficient to provide only access to content. To aid research it is especially important to improve the process of how research is being done. The recent development in natural language processing, information retrieval and the semantic web make it possible to transform the way we work with scientific publications. However, in order to be able to improve these technologies and carry out experiments, researchers need to be able to easily access and use large databases of scientific publications. This workshop aims to bring together people from different backgrounds who: (a) are interested in analysing and mining databases of scientific publications, (b) develop systems that enable such analysis and mining of scientific databases or (c) who develop novel technologies that improve the way research is being done. 2. TOPICS The topics of the workshop will be organised around the following themes: 1) The whole ecosystem of infrastructures including repositories, aggregators, text-and data-mining facilities, impact monitoring tools, datasets, services and APIs that enable analysis of large volumes of scientific publications. 2) Semantic enrichment of scientific publications by means of text-mining, crowdsourcing or other methods. 3) Analysis of large databases of scientific publications to identify research trends, high impact, cross-fertilisation between disciplines, research excellence etc. Topics of interest relevant to theme 1 include, but are not limited to: - Infrastructures including repositories, aggregators, text-and data-mining facilities, impact monitoring tools, datasets, services and APIs for accessing scientific publications and/or research data. The existence of datasets, services, systems and APIs (in particular those that are open) providing access to large volumes of scientific publications and research data, is an essential prerequisite for being able to research and develop new technologies that can transform the way people do research. Topics of interest relevant to theme 2 include, but are not limited to: - Novel information extraction and text-mining approaches to semantic enrichment of publications. - Automatic categorization and clustering of scientific publications. - New methods and models for connecting and interlinking scientific publications. - Models for semantically representing and annotating publications. - Semantically enriching/annotating publications by crowdsourcing. Topics of interest relevant to theme 3 include, but are not limited to: - New methods, models and innovative approaches for measuring impact of publications. - New methods for measuring performance of researchers. - Evaluating impact of research groups. - Methods for identifying research trends and cross-fertilization between research disciplines. - Application and case studies of mining from scientific databases and publications. - Improving the infrastructure of repositories to support the development and integration of new impact and performance metrics. 3. SPECIAL OPEN PUBLICATIONS DATASET TRACK This year we would like to invite the workshop participants to make use of the CORE publications dataset containing large volume of research publications from a wide variety of research areas. The dataset contains not only full-texts, but also an enriched version of publications' metadata. This dataset provides a framework for developing and testing methods and tools addressing the workshop topics. The use of this dataset is not mandatory, however it is encouraged. A new data dump will be made available at http://core.kmi.open.ac.uk/intro/data_dumps shortly. 4. EXPECTED AUDIENCE The workshop on Mining Scientific Publications aims to bring together researchers, digital library developers and practitioners from government and industry to address the current challenges in the domain of mining scientific publications. 5. SUBMISSION FORMAT We invite submissions related to the workshop's topics. Long papers should not exceed 8 pages and short papers should not exceed 4 pages of the ACM style. Furthermore, we welcome demo presentations of systems or methods. A demonstration submission should consist of a maximum two page description of the system, method or tool to be demonstrated. 6.

Today, the Web is no longer perceived as a document system but as a virtual place where persons and software interact in mixed communities. These large scale interactions create many problems -- in particular, reconciling the formal semantics of computer science (e.g. logics, ontologies, typing systems, etc.) on which the Web architecture is built, with the soft semantics of people (e.g. posts, tags, status, etc.) on which the Web content is built. //Wimmics/ /, among other research labs, studies methods, models and algorithms to bridge formal semantics and social semantics on the Web. We focus on the characterization of typed graph formalisms to model and capture these different pieces of knowledge and hybrid operators to process them jointly. This talk will describe the basics of semantic web formalisms and introduce different initiatives using these frameworks to represent reason and support social media and social applications on the web./ *READINGS:* Hasan, R., & Gandon, F.

Cultural shifts in the scholarly community challenge long-standing of academic institutions and call into question the efficacy and fairness of traditional models of scholarly communication. Scholars are also calling for greater authority in the publication of their works and rights management. Agreement is growing on how best to manage and share massive amounts of diverse and complex information objects. Open standards and technologies allow interoperability across institutional repositories. Content level interoperability based on semantic web and linked open data standards is becoming more common. Information research objects are increasingly thought of as social as well as data objects - promoting knowledge creation and sharing and possessing qualities that promote new forms of scholarly arrangements and collaboration.

By structuring these data objects into multiple types, such networks become semi-structured heterogeneous information networks. Most real world applications that handle big data, including interconnected social media and social networks, medical information systems, online e-commerce systems, or database systems, can be structured into typed, semi-structured, heterogeneous information networks. For example, in a medical care network, objects of multiple types, such as patients, doctors, diseases, medication, and links such as visits, diagnosis, and treatments are intertwined together, providing rich information and forming heterogeneous information networks. Effective construction, exploration and analysis of large-scale heterogeneous information networks poses an interesting but critical challenge./ /In this talk, we present principles, methodologies and algorithms for mining in heterogeneous social and information networks and show that mining typed, heterogeneous networks is a promising research frontier in data mining research. Departing from many existing network models that view data as homogeneous graphs or networks, the semi-structured heterogeneous information network model leverages the rich semantics of typed nodes and links in a network and can uncover surprisingly rich knowledge from interconnected data. This heterogeneous network modeling will lead to the discovery of a set of new principles and methodologies for mining and exploring interconnected data, such as rank-based clustering and classification, meta path-based similarity search, and meta path-based link/relationship prediction. We will also discuss our recent progress on construction of quality semi-structured heterogeneous information networks from unstructured data and point out some promising research directions./ *READINGS:* Han, J., & Wang, C.

He believed that such a distributed, global digital library could significantly increase the research "information velocity" and improve the scientific productivity of researchers. The last decade has seen significant progress in the move towards open access to scholarly research publications and the removal of barriers to access and re-use. But barrier-free access to the literature alone only scratches the surface of what the revolution of data intensive science promises. Recently, in the US, the White House has called for federal agencies to make all research outputs (publications and data) openly available. But in order to make this effort effective, researchers need better tools to capture and curate their data, and Jim Gray called for 'letting 100 flowers bloom' when it came to research data tools. Universities have the opportunity and obligation to cultivate the next regeneration of professional data scientists who can help define, build, manage, and preserve the necessary data infrastructure. This talk will cover some of the recent progress made in open access and open data, and will discuss some of the opportunities ahead./ *READINGS:* Fox, G., Hey, T., & Trefethen, A. (2013).

The Internet and in particular the World-Wide Web form a nearly ideal substrate for the emergence of a distributed intelligence that spans the planet, integrating the knowledge, skills and intuitions of billions of people supported by billions of information-processing devices. This intelligence becomes increasingly powerful through a process of self-organization in which people and devices selectively reinforce useful links, while rejecting useless ones. This process can be modeled mathematically and computationally by representing individuals and devices as agents, connected by a weighted directed network along which "challenges" propagate. Challenges represent problems, opportunities or questions that must be processed by the agents to extract benefits and avoid penalties. Link weights are increased whenever agents extract benefit from the challenges propagated along it. My research group is developing such a large-scale simulation environment in order to better understand how the web may boost our collective intelligence. The anticipated outcome of that process is a "global brain", i.e. a nervous system for the planet that would be able to tackle both global and personal problems./ *READINGS:* Heylighen, F. (2014).

Cacciabue and Hollnagel (1995) introduced it to denote the study of cognition in realistic tasks, where people interact with various forms of environmental and social scaffolding; Klein and colleagues also used it to understand how people manage uncertainty and make sense of real world environments. I introduced a second use (Huebner 2014) as shorthand for system-level cognition implemented by integrated networks of specialized computational mechanisms, whether in individuals or groups. Macrocognition has one sense that's closer to 'situated or extended cognition' and another that's closer to 'distributed or collective cognition' but they are often conflated. There are important differences between the hypothesis of collective cognition (HCC) and the hypothesis of extended cognition (HEC). Recent work on situated and collective memory and philosophical approaches to coordination and planning suggest that HCC is more plausible if we abandon HEC in favor of an 'ontologically thinner' approach to situated cognition. There is a form of collective planning distinct from the planning that relies on web-based technologies and other forms of social scaffolding. Distinguishing two forms of macrocognition, one situated the other distributed, can help us to make sense of a number of theoretically and empirically interesting phenomena./ *READINGS:* Cacciabue, P.

Although control theory offers mathematical tools for steering engineered systems towards a desired state, a framework to control complex systems is lacking. In this talk I will show that many dynamic properties of complex systems can studied be quantitatively, via a combination of tools from control theory, network science and statistical physics. In particular, I will focus on two dual concepts, i.e. controllability and observability, of general complex systems. Controllability concerns our ability to drive the system from any initial state to any final state within finite time, while observability concerns the possibility of deducing the system's internal state from observing its input-output behavior. I will show that by exploring the underlying network structure of complex systems one can determine the driver (or sensor) nodes that with time-dependent inputs (or measurements) will enable us to fully control (or observe) the whole system. / *READINGS:* Liu, Y.

Partly due to the impossibility of visualizing large complex networks, resolving network structure remains a challenging problem. In this talk, I will describe an approach that overcomes this difficulty by combining the visual pattern recognition ability of humans with the high processing speed of computers to develop an exploratory method for discovering groups of nodes characterized by common network properties, including but not limited to communities of densely connected nodes. Without any prior information about the nature of the groups, the method simultaneously identifies the number of groups, the group assignment, and the properties that define these groups.

The notion of mattering is an elliptical one: something matters only to someone and in some way. A tacit assumption in the recent debate is that the question of whether mental processes extend should be decided by way of its implications for cognitive science. The persons to whom it matters and who should be charged with adjudicating the issue are, accordingly, cognitive scientists and philosophers of cognitive science.

On the ground, cognitive-scientific practice relies most fundamentally on modeling. Taken together, these two observations suggest a way to identify what it is for a process or state to be cognitive: abstract from the variety of forms of successful cognitive-scientific modeling. The central theoretical construct of cognitive science, the one common to all successful forms of cognitive-scientific modeling, is the relatively persisting, integrated system that moves through the world managing the agent's interaction with the environment when the agent behaves intelligently. I characterize the relevant form of integration more precisely, then ask (1) whether humans currently function as components in cognitive systems that include more than individual humans and (2) whether the idea of an integrated system can help us to decide whether to count as cognitive the processes occurring in creatures other than humans./ *READINGS:* Rupert, R.

(2013) The 'Symbol Un-Grounding Problem' // ***PETER TODD*, Indiana University, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences *Foraging in the World, Mind and Online* */OVERVIEW:/*/ How do we decide when to search for something better and when to stick with what we've got? People, like other organisms, must adaptively trade off between exploring and exploiting their environment to obtain the resources they need. This applies to whatever space they are searching: whether the external spatial world, looking for patches of food; the social environment, looking for mates or friends; the internal mental environment, looking for concepts in memory; or the online environment, looking for information on the Web. Common underlying mechanisms may be used to address the explore/exploit tradeoff in each of these domains. People use similar heuristic strategies to decide when to keep looking and when to give up searching for resources in patches in space (e.g., for fish in a pond), in memory (e.g., for words in a category), and online (e.g., for useful Web pages), as predicted by optimal foraging theory. Moreover, the connections between search in these domains may have deep evolutionary roots, built on the same underlying mechanisms, as indicated by studies showing that search in an external domain can prime subsequent search strategies in an internal domain. In this talk, I will describe how new studies are uncovering these connections between spatial search and information search (as described in Cognitive Search: Evolution, Algorithms, and the Brain, Todd, Hills, and Robbins, eds.; MIT Press, 2012)./ *READINGS:* Hills, T.

This wave structure can be attributed to different knowledge-generating paradigms that drive innovation systems thereof. The changes in the slopes between the waves indicate different efficiencies in the knowledge generation. Since knowledge-generating systems are associated with innovation systems, the efficiency can be modelled in terms of interactions among dimensions (for example, in terms of university-industry-government relations). The model predicts an efficiency increase with an increasing number of dimensions due to the effects of self-organisation among them. The time spans of the knowledge-generating cycles can also be analysed in terms of Fibonacci numbers and successive cycles are expected to exhibit shorter life cycles than previous ones.

Abstract: Knowledge maps are promising tools for visualizing the structure of large-scale information spaces, but still far away from being applicable for searching. The workshop aims at bringing together experts in IR and knowledge mapping in order to discuss the potential of interactive knowledge maps for information seeking purposes. Motivation, Goals, Objectives, Outcome The success of an information system depends mainly on its ability to properly support interaction between users and information. Current information systems, however, show as a particular point of failure the vagueness between user search terms and the knowledge orders of the information space in question (Mayr et al. 2008, Mutschke et al. 2011). Studies in interactive information seeking behavior have confirmed that the ability to browse an information space and observe similarities and dissimilarities between information objects is crucial for accidental encountering and the creative use of information (Nicholas et al. 2004, Westerman et al. 2005). This is in particular true for heterogeneous information spaces within the open web. Some kind of guided searching therefore becomes more and more important in order to precisely discover information without knowing the right search terms. Yet, this seems to remain the weakest point of interactive information systems (Ford 2000, Foster 2004, Tang 2007). Knowledge mapping encompasses all attempts to use visualizations to gain insights into the structure and evolution of large-scale information spaces. Knowledge maps can take the form of network visualizations, treemaps or specific, map like arrangements of search results (cf. B?rner et al. 2003, Shiffrin/B?rner 2004, B?rner 2010, Klavans/Boyack 2010, Skupin et al. 2013, Sahal et al. 2013, Boyack/Klavans 2013). As an activity performed in very different disciplines - and often independent from each other - it stands in line with the dominance of the visual in our culture (Manovich 2009). Knowledge maps of digital library collections are promising navigation tools through knowledge spaces but - to the best of our knowledge - still far away from being applicable for searching digital libraries. Most maps are made for special purposes, are static, and usually not interactive (Akdag Salah et al. 2012). In interactive information systems the use of visual elements to enhance information seeking and discovery is a recurring research issue. However, not much of the experiences made in knowledge mapping have ever been implemented in online interfaces to digital libraries and collections (B?rner/Chen 2001), nor is there a stable and continuous knowledge exchange between the "map makers" on the one hand and the Information Retrieval (IR) specialists on the other hand. Thus, there is also a lack of models that properly combine insights of the two strands, which are driven by quite different epistemic perspectives. Our workshop aims at bringing together these two communities: experts in IR reflecting on visual enhanced search interfaces and experts in knowledge mapping reflecting on visualizations of the content of a collection that might also present - visually - a context for a search term. The intention of the workshop is to raise awareness of the potential of interactive knowledge maps for information seeking purposes and to create a common ground for experiments aiming at the incorporation of knowledge maps into IR models at the level of the user interface. The major focus of the workshop is on the question of how knowledge maps can be utilized for scholarly information seeking in large information spaces. Our interests include interactive IR, information seeking behavior, knowledge mapping, science modelling, information visualization, and digital libraries. The workshop is closely related to the COST action KNOWeSCAPE (Analyzing the dynamics of information and knowledge landscapes: http://knowescape.org/) which aims at implementing new navigation and search strategies based on insights of the complex nature of knowledge spaces as well as visualization principles for knowledge maps. The long-term research goal is to develop and evaluate new approaches for combining knowledge mapping and IR. More specifically, we address questions such as: * What are appropriate interactive knowledge maps for IR systems * How can knowledge maps be utilized for information seeking purposes? * How to locate an information need on a knowledge map? * How can (visually enhanced) search interfaces to knowledge maps look like? * How can interaction with knowledge maps be transformed into IR tasks? * Can knowledge maps improve searching in large, in particular heterogeneous, cross-language, cross-domain information spaces? * And the other way around: Can insights from IR also improve knowledge mapping itself? The availability of new IR test collections that contain citation and bibliographic information like the iSearch collection (see Lykke et al. 2010) or the ACL collection (Ritchie et al. 2006) could deliver an interesting playground for developing or evaluating combined models of IR and knowledge mapping for scholarly searching. Topical Outline To support the previously described goals the workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Knowledge maps for digital libraries * Knowledge orders of information spaces * Information seeking behaviour * Information discovery * Interactive IR systems * Human-computer IR * Knowledge Visualization in IR * Visual interfaces to information systems * Browsing and navigating information spaces * Task based user modelling, interaction and personalization * Evaluation of interactive IR systems.

Computation of bibliometric data such as co-authorships, co-citation analysis, cross-disciplinary collaborations, and inter-institutional networks supply coherent visual maps of the research landscape. Research in the social sciences and humanities is often difficult to map and survey, since these fields are embedded in diverse and often diverging epistemic cultures. Some are specifically bound to local contexts, languages and terminologies, and the domain lacks global referencing bodies and dictionaries. Mapping scientific activity and understanding interdisciplinary exchanges requires researchers to go beyond traditional statistical methods, such as co-citation analysis, and develop new semantic technologies such as topic models, natural language processing, as well as survey-based studies. We will explore how combinations and variations of science mapping approaches can provide a productive basis for studies of research characteristics in the humanities and social sciences. Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF) is Europe?s largest interdisciplinary science conference. It takes place every second year in a major European city. ESOF2014 consists of a global forum for discussions on topical issues in science and humanities complemented by an ambitious outreach programme with a large number of events. The conference takes place at the Carlsberg City District, Copenhagen June 23-26, 2014 (http://esof2014.org). About 4,500 participants from more than 70 countries are present at the conference. The Science in the City festival is expected to attract more than 30.000 citizens to the free activities. Early bird registration is possible until 31 May.

Let?s hope that the emerging US Public Access program will be ?tracked? ? and its policy shaped ? by knowledgeable representatives of the research community, motivated to facilitate and accelerate OA growth, rather than by ?policy consultants? motivated to constrain and retard it.

And while I am indeed just one individual, I pioneered the design of Federal regulatory programs like the US Public Access program. See http://davidwojick.blogspot.com/2014/03/engineer-tackles-regulatory-confusion.html. I even have a diagnostic system of 126 kinds of confusion in such programs, which is freely available at http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2013/02/05/a-taxonomy-of-confusions/. For that matter I have 30 Scholarly Kitchen articles, most of which are about the US Public Access program, freely available at http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/author/dwojick/, if people want to sample my expertise. But the research costs money so I have to use a subscription model. As the saying goes, somebody has to pay for the work. Public Access is going to be a massive and complex program. One can get the flavor of the emerging complexity from the new CHORUS Implementation Guide. See http://chorusaccess.org/chorus-publisher-implementation-guide/. In fact I will analyze this Guide for confusions in this week's issue of Inside Public Access.

I am tracking what is actually happening in the US, not what you wish would happen. There are about 20 federal agencies preparing to implement Public Access, representing perhaps $100 billion/year in funding (we really do no know how much leads to journal articles). To my knowledge none of them is going to do it your way. There are however some big bibliometric issues here. Linking articles to funding should provide for new forms of bibliometric assessment of agency and research program performance. At this point we do not even know which research funding programs are leading to journal articles, much less their impact. It is a whole new world to explore. But getting accurate article funding data is turning out to be difficult, in part due to the incredible complexity of the Federal funding system. In the CHORUS pilot they found a high incidence of cases where the FundRef funder data did not match the article acknowledgement funder statements. Solving this funder data problem is now a major effort, one I am tracking closely. In fact to me the bibliometric issues are far more interesting than the OA issues. The bibliometric community should be more heavily involved in the US Public Access program. The agency offices that are designing the various agency programs know very little about bibliometrics, because the have never dealt with journal articles before. They mostly process final research reports. Thus they are not thinking about how the funder data will be used for performance evaluation; rather their focus is on providing access, getting the articles in and out the door, as it were. I think performance evaluation is going to be a very big deal, because of the huge sums involved in Federal R&D.

URL: From dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US Thu May 29 16:20:45 2014 From: dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US (David Wojick) Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 16:20:45 -0400 Subject: The funder identification problem In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dear all, Here is an excerpt from the May 8 issue of Inside Public Access that gives the flavor of the funder identification problem. It is a very interesting challenge. "The complexity of Federal Funder identification The core challenge in the US Public Access program is to precisely identify the funders of the research that leads to a given journal article. This sounds easy but it can be a difficult and complex process. The US Government is a vast and complex organization, with hundreds of different offices sponsoring research. Moreover, each office can be referred to in many different ways, creating a major name disambiguation problem in the funder data. CHORUS and FundRef are attacking this funder identification problem using a standardized menu of funder names and DOIs. The basic idea is that the submitting author will pick out the standard names of all the offices that contributed to the research that underlies the submitted article. Again this sounds simple but it is not, because building a comprehensive taxonomy of all possible funders is far from simple. To begin with they have elected to build this menu to identify all the funders in the world, not just the US Federal funders. As a result the menu of funders already has six thousands names and it will probably have many thousands more before it stabilizes. The size of the funder list alone thus creates a big discovery problem, because many funders have similar names. Then there is the hierarchy problem, especially within the vast US Government complex. Funding offices occur at many different scales, which are arranged within one another in the tree-like organization chart. For example in the US Energy Department there may be five or more layers of funding offices. Saying which layer should be named in the funding data for a given article is not simple. Moreover if offices in different layers are named for different articles, then the resulting data will have to somehow be aggregated by layer in order to be useful. To make matters worse there are also cross cutting programs that involve multiple offices. In short any taxonomy of US Federal funding offices is going to be a complex system, not a simple listing. Given these complexities it may be better to have an editor name the funders based on the acknowledgements section of the article, rather than presenting the author with a complex taxonomy of possible funders. There seems to be some experimentation in this direction, but it is a labor intensive solution. The question is also whether the resulting data would be accurate enough for agency purposes; given that acknowledgement has been a relatively informal process. There is also the question of when to collect this funder data, given the labor involved. Should it be upon submission or after acceptance?"

It is about finding the optimal strategy for providing Open Access (OA) to research as quickly and as widely as possible. All open access advocates (including myself) agree that the US Public Access policies are very timely and welcome. What is not welcome is any attempt to slow down or constrain the growth of open access by trying to keep both its provision and its timetable in the hands of publishers, as CHORUS attempts to do, and as you are yourself are promoting under the guise of providing "expert" information to the policy-making community. *I am tracking what is actually happening in the US, not what you wish > would happen.

That policy model is the one recommended by the SPARC and BOAI. I am only one of its countless well-wishers. Here are the relevant passages from the *BOAI Recommendations* *1. On policy* 1.1. *Every institution of higher education *should have a policy assuring that peer-reviewed versions of all future scholarly articles by faculty members are deposited in the institution?s designated repository. (See recommendation 3.1 on institutional repositories.) ? Deposits should be made as early as possible, ideally at the time of acceptance, and no later than the date of formal publication. ... ? University policies should encourage but not require publication in OA journals, and should help faculty understand the difference between depositing in an OA repository and publishing in an OA journal. ? ? When publishers will not allow OA on the university?s preferred terms, we recommend either of two courses. The policy may require dark or non-OA deposit in the institutional repository until permission for OA can be obtained. Or the policy may grant the institution a nonexclusive right to make future faculty research articles OA through the institutional repository (with or without the option for faculty to waive this grant of rights for any given publication). ? 1.3. *Every research funding agency*, public or private, should have a policy assuring that peer-reviewed versions of all future scholarly articles reporting funded research are deposited in a suitable repository and made OA as soon as practicable. ? Deposits should be made as early as possible, ideally at the time of acceptance, and no later than the date of formal publication. ? ? If funder policies allow embargoes before new work becomes OA, the embargoes should not exceed six months. Policies should allow no embargoes at all for uncopyrightable work. ? 1.4. *All university and funder OA policies should require deposit in a suitable OA repository between the date of acceptance and the date of publication.* The metadata should be deposited as soon as it is available and should be OA from the moment of deposit. The full-text should be made OA as soon as the repository has permission to make it OA. 1.7. Publishers who do not provide OA should at least permit it through their formal publishing agreements. ? Publishers should refrain from lobbying against governments acting in the public interest, and refrain from lobbying against research institutions acting in the interests of researchers and research. Publishers should disavow lobbying campaigns carried out in their name by their professional or trade associations against the public interest and the interests of researchers and research. ? The minority of subscription-based publishers who do not yet allow author-initiated green OA, without payment or embargo, should adopt the majority position. *There are however some big bibliometric issues here. Linking articles to > funding should provide for new forms of bibliometric assessment of agency > and research program performance. At this point we do not even know which > research funding programs are leading to journal articles, much less their > impact. It is a whole new world to explore.* > Yes, OA will help greatly both in record-keeping and in research assessment. But those are bonuses. The purpose of Open Access is Open Access, not bibliometrics. Bibliometric speculations should certainly not be allowed to retard or get in the way of OA, OA Policy, or OA Policy implementation. > > *But getting accurate article funding data is turning out to be difficult, > in part due to the incredible complexity of the Federal funding system.

Those institutions have a huge stake in ensuring that their researchers comply with their funder requirements (and they already review all grant applications). Institutions are hence the ones in the position to monitor their own researchers' journal article output, ensure that the funder (if any) is specified in the repository metadata for each published article, and, most important of all, ensure that the deposit is done within the required time-frame (see BOAI recommendation above). Repository deposits are time-stamped. Researchers can even be asked to deposit the journal's acceptance letter (in closed access) alongside the final refereed draft, for record-keeping and compliance monitoring purposes. The institution can thereby systematically monitor and ensure timely compliance with funder (and institutional) deposit mandates. (The repository software and the Copy Request Button can then handle any allowable publisher embargo periods in a simple, straightforward way --via the Button till the embargo elapses, and then the deposit automatically becomes OA.) *In fact to me the bibliometric issues are far more interesting than the OA > issues. * > To you.

As I wrote in my previous posting on this very same issue: All authors have institutions -- either a university or a research institution. Those institutions have a huge stake in ensuring that their researchers comply with their funder requirements (and they already review all grant applications). Institutions are hence the ones in the position to monitor their own researchers' journal article output, ensure that the funder (if any) is specified in the repository metadata for each published article, and, most important of all, ensure that the deposit is done within the required time-frame (see BOAI recommendation above). Repository deposits are time-stamped. Researchers can even be asked to deposit the journal's acceptance letter (in closed access) alongside the final refereed draft, for record-keeping and compliance monitoring purposes. The institution can thereby systematically monitor and ensure timely compliance with funder (and institutional) deposit mandates. (The repository software and the Copy Request Button can then handle any allowable publisher embargo periods in a simple, straightforward way --via the Button till the embargo elapses, and then the deposit automatically becomes OA.) *CHORUS and FundRef are attacking this funder identification problem using > a standardized menu of funder names and DOIs.

Ghiya, Angela Calugar & Tanja Popovic, "Analysis of Three Factors Possibly Influencing the Outcome of a Science Review Process", "Accountability in Research: Policies and Quality Assurance", Volume 21, Issue 4, 2014, Pages 241-264, WWW.TandFonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08989621.2013.848798#.U4i093ZFkwo : "We analyzed a process for the annual selection of a Federal agency's best peer-reviewed, scientific papers with the goal to develop a relatively simple method that would use publicly available data to assess the presence of factors, other than scientific excellence and merit, in an award-making process that is to recognize scientific excellence and merit. Our specific goals were (a) to determine if journal, disease category, or major paper topics affected the scientific-review outcome by (b) developing design and analytic approaches to detect potential bias in the scientific review process. While indeed journal, disease category, and major paper topics were unrelated to winning, our methodology was sensitive enough to detect differences between the ranks of journals for winners and non-winners. [. . .] The motivation for this study arose from the review process associated with the most prestigious science award available to scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)--The Charles C. Shepard Science Award. This science award seeks to recognize the premier science conducted by CDC scientists, or in collaboration with scientists around the world, and the award attests to scientific excellence via the published work of CDC's scientists. The award has been made annually since its inception in 1986. [. . .] [. . .] CDC maintains a cumulative, year-by-year electronic bibliography of finalists? papers (including winners? papers, which are a subset of the finalists? papers) for the Charles C. Shepard Science Award (SSA) (Office of the Associate Director for Science, 2011). [. . .] [. . .] Journal Impact Factor (JIF) [. . .] [. . .] We investigated the possible influence of various factors upon winner selection, as we noted above. CDC science regularly appears in journals with high visibility, such as the New England Journal of Medicine (JIF = 50.017), Journal of the American Medical Association (JIF = 31.718), Lancet (JIF = 28.409), and Science (JIF = 28.103). However, we did not observe a bias towards winner selection based on the journal title. Our analyses suggest that winning papers were not merely a subset, by journal title, of the overall scientific community of SSA papers because the frequency of appearance by journal title was different between finalists and winners, and winners published more frequently in lower ranked journals. Our other measure of journal importance, JIF, did not reveal a preference for papers appearing in high impact journals. This piece of evidence indicates that members of the three SSA winner selection committees have, year-after-year, executed their responsibility for identifyin g award winning work based on scientific merit and impact rather than on the journal ?popularity? or ?prestige? in which papers have been published, thus reinforcing the thinking that excellence should be worthy of inherent recognition, independent of the vehicle making it visible to a community of accomplished scientists.

See my http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2013/06/26/universities-propose-to-share-federal-funding-based-articles/ from a year ago. SHARE has its own specific problems, as does CHORUS. But as far as funder identification goes, SHARE and CHORUS share the problem. This is because the grant information that institutions get does not identify the specific funding program. For example, in DOE the grant contract and grant number merely say that the grant is from the Office of Science, which funds about $5 billion a year. Which of their many programs and sub-programs funded a given grant is not specified. So the institution still has to get that information from the author, just as the publisher does. And the resulting data must be uniform across all institutions, just as with all CHORUS publishers. Moreover, while the publisher knows about the article, but not the specific funder, the institution need know about neither. At present few, if any, institutional repositories have deposit enforcement that would meet federal standards. Most repository programs are voluntary, so an unreliable source of ALL funded articles. And many institutions have no repository, especially federal laboratories. So all in all the institutions have much further to go than the publishers, as far as the federal program goes. Keep in mind that the paradigm federal access program at this point is PubMed Central, which works with publishers, not institutions. This is not to say that SHARE cannot win the public access race. In fact it is rumored that NSF may go the SHARE route, while DOE may go the CHORUS route. NSF works solely with universities, unlike DOE. The wheel is still very much in spin. I cover all of this in my newsletter. You can see this from my open synopses at http://insidepublicaccess.com/issues.html.

And "SHARE" really just means that the IRs do it rather than the publishers.

But the specific funder certainly knows what the program and subprogram is. And the author-and-institution certainly knows what the program and subprogram is. So what's the problem that necessitates publishers (of all parties) to become the custodians of these data, which have nothing to do with publishers? (a) The exact source of the grant can be disambiguated *top-down, *with the funders linking the grant-contract-and-number to the exact funding source. That seems the most obvious way to do it. Then the IR need merely include the grant-contract-and-number tag in the institutional repository metadata for each funded article. (b) Or it can be disambiguated *bottom-up, *with the author-and-institution including an exact funding source tag in addition to the grant-contract-and-number tag in the institutional repository metadata for each funded article. Either way, the problem is trivial, and certainly no grounds whatsoever to outsource it to publishers!

(Deposits can then be automatically exported to or harvested by any institution-external repositories desired, such as PubMed Central.) (Institutions that don't yet have a repository are just a piece of free software, some disk-space, and some sysad time from having one. Another non-problem.) Convergent deposit mandates immediately recruit institutions to monitor and ensure full and timely compliance with the funder OA mandate, whether or not the institution has an OA mandate of its own (and in fact it motivates the institution to adopt an OA mandate of its own, for all of its research output, funded and unfunded). Again, no grounds whatsoever to outsource any of this to publishers. This is not to say that SHARE cannot win the public access race. In fact it > is rumored that NSF may go the SHARE route, while DOE may go the CHORUS > route.

URL: From dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US Fri May 30 17:58:22 2014 From: dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US (David Wojick) Date: Fri, 30 May 2014 17:58:22 -0400 Subject: The funder identification problem In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Stevan, you seem to think that I am advocating for a publisher based solution but I am not. I am simply trying to find a good program design. In fact I think CHORUS has wandered away from that design, to the point where the funding agencies may not try to use it. But as for the funder identification problem, it is far from trivial. What you describe below does not work. There is at present no simple way to tell which program funded the research that led to a given article. The grant information does not include this data. How then shall it be created (and made uniform)? This is a deep problem. Moreover, how this funder identification problem is solved will probably dictate the form of the US Public Access program.

But as far as funder identification goes, SHARE and CHORUS share the problem. This is because the grant information that institutions get does not identify the specific funding program. For example, in DOE the grant contract and grant number merely say that the grant is from the Office of Science, which funds about $5 billion a year. Which of their many programs and sub-programs funded a given grant is not specified. So the institution still has to get that information from the author, just as the publisher does. And the resulting data must be uniform across all institutions, just as with all CHORUS publishers. > > So the grant-contract-and-number does not specify the program and subprogram. But the specific funder certainly knows what the program and subprogram is. And the author-and-institution certainly knows what the program and subprogram is. So what's the problem that necessitates publishers (of all parties) to become the custodians of these data, which have nothing to do with publishers? > > (a) The exact source of the grant can be disambiguated top-down, with the funders linking the grant-contract-and-number to the exact funding source. That seems the most obvious way to do it. Then the IR need merely include the grant-contract-and-number tag in the institutional repository metadata for each funded article. > > (b) Or it can be disambiguated bottom-up, with the author-and-institution including an exact funding source tag in addition to the grant-contract-and-number tag in the institutional repository metadata for each funded article. > > Either way, the problem is trivial, and certainly no grounds whatsoever to outsource it to publishers! > > Moreover, while the publisher knows about the article, but not the specific funder, the institution need know about neither. At present few, if any, institutional repositories have deposit enforcement that would meet federal standards. Most repository programs are voluntary, so an unreliable source of ALL funded articles. And many institutions have no repository, especially federal laboratories. So all in all the institutions have much further to go than the publishers, as far as the federal program goes. Keep in mind that the paradigm federal access program at this point is PubMed Central, which works with publishers, not institutions. > > This is why I have been urging for years that deposit should always be convergent, not divergent, with all funders and all institutions mandating institutional deposit, not institution-external deposit.

Those institutions have a huge stake in ensuring that their researchers comply with their funder requirements (and they already review all grant applications). Institutions are hence the ones in the position to monitor their own researchers' journal article output, ensure that the funder (if any) is specified in the repository metadata for each published article, and, most important of all, ensure that the deposit is done within the required time-frame (see BOAI recommendation above).? > > Repository deposits are time-stamped. Researchers can even be asked to deposit the journal's acceptance letter (in closed access) alongside the final refereed draft, for record-keeping and compliance monitoring purposes. The institution can thereby systematically monitor and ensure timely compliance with funder (and institutional) deposit mandates.

As a result the menu of funders already has six thousands names and it will probably have many thousands more before it stabilizes. The size of the funder list alone thus creates a big discovery problem, because many funders have similar names. > Let's hope that while (all? some?) publishers are spending their time constructing a mega-database of all their authors' potential funders worldwide, institutions will do the much more simple and sensible thing of constructing a database of all their own employees' funding.

Funding offices occur at many different scales, which are arranged within one another in the tree-like organization chart. For example in the US Energy Department there may be five or more layers of funding offices. Saying which layer should be named in the funding data for a given article is not simple. Moreover if offices in different layers are named for different articles, then the resulting data will have to somehow be aggregated by layer in order to be useful. To make matters worse there are also cross cutting programs that involve multiple offices. In short any taxonomy of US Federal funding offices is going to be a complex system, not a simple listing. >> > Needless pseudo-complications. The researcher receives a grant.

To do that, an automatic approach for detecting and visualizing hidden themes and their evolution across a consecutive span of years is applied. This automatic approach, which is based on co-word analysis, combines performance analysis and science mapping. To show the conceptual evolution of ITS, three consecutive periods have been defined, i.e., 1992-2001, 2002-2006, and 2007-2011. We have identified that the ITS research has been focused on six main thematic areas, i.e., VEHICLE-AND-ROAD-TRACKING, DRIVER-BEHAVIOR-AND-SAFETY, SCENARIOS-SIMULATION, TRAFFIC-FLOW-AND-TRAFFIC-MANAGEMENT, VEHICLE-CONTROL, and VEHICLE-NAVIGATION.

Some authors have cast doubt on the validity of the third decimal place in JIFs. In this paper I present a new approach to evaluate the significance of decimal places in JIFs. To do so, two modified JIFs were computed by adding or removing one citation to the number used by Thomson Reuters to compute the JIF for journals listed in the 2008 Journal Citation Report. The rationale is that one citation is the minimum amount of impact that can be observed and analyzed. Next, the modified JIFs were compared with the original JIF to identify the decimal place that changed as consequence of adding or removing one citation. The results suggest that for about two-third of journals, the number of places used by Thomson Reuters to compute JIFs can be considered appropriate for the most part.

Annual publication output has been on continuous increase both worldwide and for China from 1998 to 2012. In recent years, China showed faster growth rates than world average. As the second productive country in the field of bioinformatics, China did not do equally well in terms of citation counts and h-index. Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai Jiao Tong University were among the ten most productive institutes in the world, and their basic metrics and collaboration patterns were compared with other institutes, especially two institutes from Japan. The journal PLoS One was found to have published the most papers from China. In addition, this paper compared the most active categories in Web of Science worldwide with those of China. Personal perspectives of bioinformatics research in China were also presented. Addresses: [Liu, Ai-Yuan] Jimei Univ, Xiamen 361021, Peoples R China.

The study was conducted using data from the Scopus database over the time period of 2000-2010. We investigated the research landscape in Sustainable Development at country level and at institute level. Sustainable Development and its sub-areas are defined by keywords vetted by the domain experts, allowing publications to be identified independent of the journals and conferences in which they are published. The results indicate that institutes strong in Sustainable Development overall may not be strong in all sub-areas and that institutes not strong in Sustainable Development overall may have significant niche strengths in a given sub-area. It is also noted that China appears strong in terms of publication output in Sustainable Development and its sub-areas but it does not appear strong in terms of citation counts. The information produced in this study can be useful for government research agencies in terms of understanding how to more effectively knit together the various niche strengths in the country; and for the institutes to find strategic partners that can coordinate in niche areas of Sustainable Development and complement their strengths. In order to conduct bibliometric analysis in an interdisciplinary research area, the keyword collection approach appears to be very useful. This approach is flexible and can be used to conduct such analysis for interdisciplinary research fields. Addresses: [Hassan, Saeed-Ul] COMSATS, Inst Informat Technol, Lahore, Pakistan.

However, reviewers have infrequently searched for eligible RCTs in Korean databases and journals. This study aimed to identify difficult to locate acupuncture RCTs in Korean databases and journals and to assess the characteristics and quality of the identified RCTs. Methods Eleven electronic databases and seven journals were searched up to December 2012. All RCTs using needle acupuncture were considered for inclusion. Key study characteristics were extracted and risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. Results One hundred and forty-three publications met our inclusion criteria. Acupuncture RCTs in the Korean literature emerged in the mid-1990s and increased in the mid-2000s. Diverse methods of acupuncture were used, including some methods unique to Korea (eg, Saam acupuncture). The largest proportion of trials evaluated acupuncture for musculoskeletal conditions (27.3%). The mean sample size was 44.3 +/- 25.3 per trial. Random sequence generation methods were reported in 44.8% of the RCTs, whereas only 11.9% reported methods of allocation concealment. A low proportion of trials reported participant blinding (32.9%) and outcome assessment blinding (18.9%). Conclusions Korean acupuncture trials, many of which evaluate acupuncture styles unique to Korea, are typically omitted from systematic reviews of acupuncture, resulting in the potential for language bias. The development of this database of difficult to locate Korean trials, which includes English language translations of abstracts, will enable these trials of varying quality to be assessed for inclusion in future acupuncture systematic reviews.

To do that, an automatic approach for detecting and visualizing hidden themes and their evolution across a consecutive span of years is applied. This automatic approach, which is based on co-word analysis, combines performance analysis and science mapping. To show the conceptual evolution of ITS, three consecutive periods have been defined, i.e., 1992-2001, 2002-2006, and 2007-2011. We have identified that the ITS research has been focused on six main thematic areas, i.e., VEHICLE-AND-ROAD-TRACKING, DRIVER-BEHAVIOR-AND-SAFETY, SCENARIOS-SIMULATION, TRAFFIC-FLOW-AND-TRAFFIC-MANAGEMENT, VEHICLE-CONTROL, and VEHICLE-NAVIGATION.

Various topics on e-learning in workplace settings have emerged, showing the complex, dynamic and multi-disciplinary nature of the field. In this context, there is a need for an extensive, thematic overview of related studies for a better understanding of this broad domain. Using co-word analysis and text analysis methods, this study presents a bibliometric analysis of 324 articles on workplace e-learning published in academic journals and conference proceedings from 2000 to 2012. The results identify six research themes in the field, which are further categorized into four dimensions: e-learning for continuing education and professional development, e-learning in the healthcare sector (as one of the most prolific e-learning initiatives), use of social media for e-learning, and the integration of knowledge management with e-learning. By incorporating the analysis results with relevant reviews, this study offers a comprehensive picture and a holistic view of the workplace e-learning domain, and suggests directions for further work.

Source: BMJ OPEN, 4 (3):10.1136/bmjopen-2013-004468 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Abstract: Background The amount of scientific literature available is often overwhelming, making it difficult for researchers to have a good overview of the literature and to see relations between different developments. Visualisation techniques based on bibliometric data are helpful in obtaining an overview of the literature on complex research topics, and have been applied here to the topic of patient safety (PS). Methods On the basis of title words and citation relations, publications in the period 2000-2010 related to PS were identified in the Scopus bibliographic database. A visualisation of the most frequently cited PS publications was produced based on direct and indirect citation relations between publications. Terms were extracted from titles and abstracts of the publications, and a visualisation of the most important terms was created. The main PS-related topics studied in the literature were identified using a technique for clustering publications and terms. Results A total of 8480 publications were identified, of which the 1462 most frequently cited ones were included in the visualisation. The publications were clustered into 19 clusters, which were grouped into three categories: (1) magnitude of PS problems (42% of all included publications); (2) PS risk factors (31%) and (3) implementation of solutions (19%). In the visualisation of PS-related terms, five clusters were identified: (1) medication; (2) measuring harm; (3) PS culture; (4) physician; (5) training, education and communication. Both analysis at publication and term level indicate an increasing focus on risk factors. Conclusions A bibliometric visualisation approach makes it possible to analyse large amounts of literature. This approach is very useful for improving one's understanding of a complex research topic such as PS and for suggesting new research directions or alternative research priorities. For PS research, the approach suggests that more research on implementing PS improvement initiatives might be needed. Addresses: [Rodrigues, S. P.; Jansen, F.

The objective of this study was to reveal, through research realized since 2000 on psychotherapy for schizophrenia, the therapy that with current evidence improves the efficacy for the integral function of these patients. This investigation was based on a bibliometric methodology that analyzed a total of 71 items abstracted from the following databases: Scopus, PubMed, Medline, ScienceDirect, EbscoHost, Redalyc and Proquest. The outcomes of the study demonstrated that cognitive behavioral therapy was used in 30 of the 71 articles analyzed. Related therapies, such as cognitive and cognitive specifically aimed at the management of social skills, added another 19 of these articles. These therapies were recognized for promoting an essential treatment for the patient.

Journal impact factors (JIF) are computed by Thomson Reuters to three decimal places. Some authors have cast doubt on the validity of the third decimal place in JIFs. In this paper I present a new approach to evaluate the significance of decimal places in JIFs. To do so, two modified JIFs were computed by adding or removing one citation to the number used by Thomson Reuters to compute the JIF for journals listed in the 2008 Journal Citation Report. The rationale is that one citation is the minimum amount of impact that can be observed and analyzed. Next, the modified JIFs were compared with the original JIF to identify the decimal place that changed as consequence of adding or removing one citation. The results suggest that for about two-third of journals, the number of places used by Thomson Reuters to compute JIFs can be considered appropriate for the most part.

A search was performed on the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Science for the most cited articles in all the journals included in the Journal Citation Report (2010 edition) in the category of "Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Medicine". Each one of the 77 journals selected was analyzed using the Cited Reference Search tool of the ISI Web of Science database to identify the most cited articles up to June 2012. The following information was gathered from each article: names and number of authors, journal, year of publication, type of study, methodological design, and area of research. The number of citations of the 100 selected articles varied from 326 to 2050. All articles were published in 21 of the 77 journals in the category. The journals with the largest number of the cited articles were the Journal of Clinical Periodontology (20 articles), the Journal of Periodontology (18 articles), and the Journal of Dental Research (16 articles). There was a predominance of clinical research (66 %) over basic research (34 %). The most frequently named author was Socransky SS, with 9 of the top 100 articles, followed by Lindhe J with 7. The decades with most articles published of the 100 selected were 1980-1989 (26 articles) and 1990-1999 (25 articles). The most common type of article was the case series (22 %), followed by the narrative review/expert opinion (19 %). The most common area of study was periodontology (43 % of articles). To our knowledge, this is the first report of the top-cited articles in Dentistry. There is a predominance of clinical studies, particularly case series and narrative reviews/expert opinions, despite their low-evidence level. The focus of the articles has mainly been on periodontology and implantology, and the majority has been published in the highest *impact factor* dental journals. The number of citations that an article receives does not necessarily reflect the quality of the research, but the present study gives some clues to the topics and authors contributing to major advances in Dentistry.

The study of these motivations has led to the introduction of different theories like normative theory and social constructive theory of citing behavior. Using the social constructive approach to citing behavior, this research introduces citing conformity whereby some authors' social, personal or non professional citing behaviors are determined by societal pressure. This is explained at three levels namely; normative, informational and identification. This paper aims to design, validate and determine the reliability of a questionnaire to measure citing conformity at these three levels. In order to devise the instrument, a questionnaire with 45 items was preliminarily designed. After face validity of the questionnaire had been determined by ten scholars, data was gathered. 150 Iranian authors with at least two articles indexed in Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) or Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) during the period 2001-2010 were selected using systematic random allocation and were asked to fill out the questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis was used to analyze the data. Factor analysis was administered using principal components analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation, eigenvalue more than one, and factor loading 0.45 to extract three factors. Out of 45 items, 11 were deleted by the software due to low factor loading. The remaining 34 items were retained and constitute tree factors: normative (13 items), informational (13 items), and identification (8 items). KMO coefficient test was 0.726 and Bartlett sphericity index was 2431.91 (P < 0.0001) which proved the sufficiency of sample size and the reliability of the test. Cronbach's alpha was employed to determine the reliability of this instrument. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for normative, informational and identification conformities was 0.86, 0.81 and 0.85 respectively. Therefore, the reliability of all the factors was acceptable with approximately high coefficients. As the Cronbach's alpha coefficients convey, the reliability of all factors was acceptable. The development of a citing conformity instrument at normative, informational and identification levels, provides a scale to measure authors' citing behavior in social, personal or non professional aspects according to the above mentioned psychological variables (normative, informational and identification conformities). Therefore, this instrument will be able to explain the authors' citing behavior and motivations in a large extent of a subject area.

Taken into account are such items as total number of publications, analyses per subject area or per research field, number of citations, types of publications, Hirsch indexes, and books. Internationally, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, religion, area studies, geology, paleontology, and public administration are identified as the most active areas. Nationally, a number of additional strong points are identified, such as psychology, history, and environmental sciences. The percentage of researchers with reasonably high activity (e.g., at least similar to one publication per year as indexed in major databases) is relatively low (similar to 10 %), and the percentage with reasonably high international competitiveness (based on citation counts, number of publications, books indexed in international libraries) is at only similar to 2 %. The decisive factor controlling an exponential increase in publications since similar to 2000-2004 appears to have been a conservatively managed exponential increase of the national GDP and implicitly of the research budgets.

Annual publication output has been on continuous increase both worldwide and for China from 1998 to 2012. In recent years, China showed faster growth rates than world average. As the second productive country in the field of bioinformatics, China did not do equally well in terms of citation counts and h-index. Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai Jiao Tong University were among the ten most productive institutes in the world, and their basic metrics and collaboration patterns were compared with other institutes, especially two institutes from Japan. The journal PLoS One was found to have published the most papers from China. In addition, this paper compared the most active categories in Web of Science worldwide with those of China.

This is done by considering that each CA can be so strongly tied to the LI that they are forming binary scientific star (BSS) systems with respect to their other collaborators. Moreover, publications in peer review journals and in "proceedings", both often thought to be of "different quality", are separately distinguished. The role of a time interval for measuring J and alpha is also examined. New indirect measures are also introduced. For making the point, two LI cases with numerous CAs are studied. It is found that only a few BSS need to be usefully examined. The exponent alpha turns out to be "second scientist" weakly dependent, but still "size" and "publication type" dependent, according to the number of CAs or JP. The CA core value is found to be (CA or JP) size and publication type dependent, but remains in an understandable range. Somewhat unexpectedly, no special qualitative difference on the BSS CA core value is found between publications in peer review journals and in proceedings. In conclusion, some remark is made on partner cooperation in BSS teams. It is suggested that such measures can serve as criteria for distinguishing the role of scientists in a team.

This survey identifies keywords and conducts a review to search for and identify related articles in the Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science database. We then present our findings, including the number of publications by year, categorization of article types, main academic journals, authors, and most-cited articles. The citation counts for authors, journals, and articles are also analyzed. This study indicates that the number of articles related to the keyword entrepreneur increased from 1996 to the end of 2011, which is a sign of an upward trend in the influence of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneur research fascinated numerous scholars during the study period covering 16.5 years. In particular, researchers from the USA, England, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands have made the most contributions to this field. This literature review provides evidence that the concept of entrepreneur attracted academic researchers, resulting in significant contributions to the field of entrepreneur research.

It does not aim to develop knowledge data infrastructure based on proprietary format, but on an international standard format. JST is also in the process of creating 'J-GLOBAL foresight' [http://foresight.jst.go.jp (accessed June 2012)] in order to match up a variety of data such as results and indices of bibliometric analysis as well as of patent analysis derived from the knowledge infrastructure with applications like Google Maps and facilitate the visualisation of business information. This will contribute to help companies and institutions formulate business strategy based on the information obtained in the future. The former aims to be the bibliographic information version of the Data.gov, which discloses government data from the USA, while the latter seeks to be the Data-gov wiki version, which provides a demonstration by matching up governmental data with applications such as Google Maps.

We focus on the successive total of a multiplicative stochastic process. By employing properties of a well-known stochastic process, we concisely show that the successive total follows a stationary power-law distribution, which is directly related to Zipf's law. The formula of the power-law exponent is also derived. Finally, we conclude that the universality of the rank-size exponent is brought about by symmetry between an increase and a decrease in the random growth rate.

Source: BRITISH JOURNAL OF SURGERY, 101 (5):582-589; 10.1002/bjs.9450 APR 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: QUALITY-OF-LIFE; SURGERY; TRIALS; BYPASS Abstract: BackgroundWith advances in operative technique and perioperative care, traditional endpoints such as morbidity and mortality provide an incomplete description of surgical outcomes. There is increasing emphasis on the need for patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to evaluate fully the effectiveness and quality of surgical interventions. The objective of this study was to identify the outcomes reported in clinical studies published in high-impact surgical journals and the frequency with which PROs are used. MethodsElectronic versions of material published between 2008 and 2012 in the four highest-impact non-subspecialty surgical journals (Annals of Surgery, British Journal of Surgery (BJS), Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Surgery) were hand-searched. Clinical studies of adult patients undergoing planned abdominal, thoracic or vascular surgery were included. Reported outcomes were classified into five categories using Wilson and Cleary's conceptual model. ResultsA total of 893 articles were assessed, of which 770 were included in the analysis. Some 916 per cent of studies reported biological and physiological outcomes, 360 per cent symptoms, 134 per cent direct indicators of functional status, 106 per cent general health perception and 148 per cent overall quality of life (QoL). The proportion of studies with at least one PRO was 387 per cent overall and 734 per cent in BJS (P<0001). The proportion of studies using a formal measure of health-related QoL ranged from 89 per cent (JAMA Surgery) to 338 per cent (BJS). ConclusionThe predominant reporting of clinical endpoints and the inconsistent use of PROs underscore the need for further research and education to enhance the applicability of these measures in specific surgical settings.

Few efforts have evaluated how much impact an organization has on the research community. To fill this gap, I established collaboration and citation networks among 2394 US organizations and calculated their impact scores based on quantity, diversity, and spread of scholarly activities. I reported top-ranking organizations between 1992 and 2011 and identified spatio-temporal patterns of GIS growth over the United States. The results are valuable for organizations to assess their strengths and weakness and find a path to broaden the impact. Addresses: Univ Florida, Dept Geog, Gainesville, FL 32611 USA.

And they are very eager to credit their funders for their article output, to justify the funding, to get the next grant instalment, and for renewal or new grant applications. In the bottom-up option (2), they simply add a metadata tag for the funding's program/subprogram (in addition to metadata tag for the grant-contract-and-number) in the IR along with the article. In the perhaps more sensible option (1), the *US Federal funders of research* create a database that links their own grant-contract-and-numbers with their own program/subprogram identifiers (and then the IR need only tag the grant-contract-and-number). No need for publishers to do any of that. And I don't know why you are suggesting it's such a big deal: There are a finite number of US Federal funding agencies, program/subprograms, grant-contract-and-number, and all the information is know and a matter of record. They have the data; they need only systematically integrate it into a database. Alternatively, authors/institutions can do it distributedly. In neither case is it a big deal. It only appears like a problem if you look at it from the publisher's viewpoint, where authors are only in the habit of crediting their grant-contract-and-number in the acknowledgements sections of their articles, rather than giving fuller source information. But authors and their institutions *have* the fuller information. And effective convergent funder and institutional mandates (to deposit in the institutional repository) together with simple, systematic compliance monitoring procedures will ensure that all the requisite metadata are deposited with the article. > > *Moreover, how this funder identification problem is solved will probably > dictate the form of the US Public Access program. * > Well, we've made some progress: *It won't be the publishers' CHORUS doing it.* That's a non-started, and has been all along. Now the choice is between top-down, centrally (1) and bottom-up, distributedly (2). Maybe it's easiest to start bottom-up, distributedly (authors/institutions) and then the funders can harvest the pairs of grant-contract-and-number and program/subprogram metadata tags in the the IRs for all of their articles in order to build up a central database of their own. (This institutional-deposit/central harvesting (or institutional export) procedure is by far the optimal mechanism for all article metadata in the IRs and also, if desired, for the full-texts.) *Stevan Harnad* On May 30, 2014, at 5:07 PM, Stevan Harnad wrote: > > Adminstrative info for SIGMETRICS (for example unsubscribe): > http://web.utk.edu/~gwhitney/sigmetrics.html > On Fri, May 30, 2014 at 2:39 PM, David Wojick < > dwojick at craigellachie.us> wrote: > > >> Stevan, what you describe sounds somewhat like the SHARE program, which >> is one of the emerging proposed mechanisms for the US Public Access >> program.

This issue may undermine the movement to openly share and cite data sets in scientific publications because researchers are unlikely to devote the effort necessary to curate their research data if they are unlikely to receive credit for doing so. This analysis attempts to demonstrate the bibliometric impact of properly curated and openly accessible data sets by attempting to generate citation counts for three data sets archived at the National Oceanographic Data Center. My findings suggest that all three data sets are highly cited, with estimated citation counts in most cases higher than 99% of all the journal articles published in Oceanography during the same years. I also find that methods of citing and referring to these data sets in scientific publications are highly inconsistent, despite the fact that a formal citation format is suggested for each data set. These findings have important implications for developing a data citation format, encouraging researchers to properly curate their research data, and evaluating the bibliometric impact of individuals and institutions.

Using a data set, acquired from Thomson Scientific, consisting of 4.4 million articles published in 1998-2003 in 22 broad fields with a 5-year citation window, the main results are the following. First, both within each of 22 broad fields and in the all-sciences case, citation inequality is strongly affected by the presence of a handful of extreme observations, particularly when it is measured by citation inequality indices that are very sensitive to citation differences in the upper tail of citation distributions. Second, the impact of extreme observations on citation averages is generally much smaller. The concluding section includes some practical lessons for students of citation inequality and/or users of high-impact indicators.

A quantitative analysis of the literature Authors: Bornmann, L Author Full Names: Bornmann, Lutz Source: RESEARCH EVALUATION, 23 (2):166-173; 10.1093/reseval/rvu002 APR 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: excellent papers, highly cited papers, top cited papers, most frequently cited papers KeyWords Plus: CITATION IMPACT; DISTRIBUTIONS; ASSESSMENTS; INDICATORS Abstract: As the subject of research excellence has received increasing attention (in science policy) over the past few decades, increasing numbers of bibliometric studies have been published dealing with excellent papers. However, many different methods have been used in these studies to identify excellent papers. The present quantitative analysis of the literature has been carried out to acquire an overview of these methods and an indication of an 'average' or 'most frequent' bibliometric practice. The search in the Web of Science yielded 321 papers dealing with 'highly cited', 'most cited', 'top cited', and 'most frequently cited'. Of the 321 papers, 16 could not be used in this study. In around 80% of the papers analyzed in this study, a quantitative definition has been provided to identify excellent papers. With definitions that relate to an absolute number, either a certain number of top cited papers (58%) or papers with a minimum number of citations are selected (17%). Approximately 23% worked with percentile rank classes. Over these papers, there is an arithmetic average of the top 7.6% (arithmetic average) or of the top 3% (median). The top 1% is used most frequently in the papers, followed by the top 10%. With the thresholds presented in this study, in future, it will be possible to identify excellent papers based on an 'average' or 'most frequent' practice among bibliometricians.

This article analyses, by means of bibliometrics indicators and social network analysis, his professional career, comparing the results obtained with the patterns of scientific activity of other distinguished researchers. The main findings of the study carried out are as follows: the evolution of his scientific productivity shows an initial period in which the growth is slow or moderate, followed by a fast exponential growth phase with a high level of productivity sustained over a long period (from 33 to 72 years old); a wide spectrum of collaborators increased progressively over time; and notable citation levels with a sustained number of citations received, despite a reduction in his scientific productivity over recent years. Some phenomena common to the professional trajectory of other relevant scientific figures have been observed, such as the early start to scientific publication; intervention in different areas of knowledge; frequent publication in multidisciplinary journals as well as in journals specialized in his area of knowledge; the presence, in a majority of cases, in the first or last position in the order of authorships; as well as the high levels of collaboration and citation of a great many of his papers. These patterns may be followed by young scientists or newcomers to achieve scientific excellence. Addresses: Univ Valencia, Dept Hist Sci & Documentat, Valencia 46010, Spain.

As an engineer, physical chemist, physicist, physiologist, biophysicist, biochemist, innovator and educator, he had worked in diversified fields over extended periods between 1926 until his death in 2010, at the age of 97. In order to illustrate his scientific career and great impact on research from a new perspective, we employ *scientometric* analysis tools to analyze the publications of Britton Chance with data downloaded from the ISI Citation Indexes in April 2013. We included articles, reviews and proceeding papers but excluded meeting abstracts. In total, we obtained 1023 publication records with 1236 authors in 266 journals with 17,114 citations from 1945 to 2013. We show the annual publications and citations that Britton Chance received from 1945 to 2013, and generate HistCite maps on the basis of the global citations (GCS) and local (self) citations (LCS) to show the citation relationships among the top-30 publications of Britton Chance. Metabolism and the development of physical methods to probe it appear to be the connecting thread of the lifelong research of Britton Chance. Furthermore, we generate the journal map and co-authorship map to show the broad scope of research topics and collaborators and the high impacts of the scientific oeuvre of Britton Chance ranging from physics, engineering, chemistry and biology to medicine.

The purpose of this research was to describe and characterize the global collaborative patterns in meta-analyses of randomized trials published in high impact factor medical journals over the past three decades. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, social network analysis. We searched PubMed for relevant meta-analyses of randomized trials published up to December 2012. We selected meta-analyses (including at least randomized trials as primary evidence source) published in the top seven high impact factor general medical journals (according to Journal Citation Reports 2011): The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, the BMJ, JAMA, Annals of Internal Medicine, Archives of Internal Medicine (now renamed JAMA Internal Medicine), and PLoS Medicine. Opinion articles, conceptual papers, narrative reviews, reviews without meta-analysis, reviews of reviews, and other study designs were excluded. Results: Overall, we included 736 meta-analyses, in which 3,178 authors, 891 institutions, and 51 countries participated. The BMJ was the journal that published the greatest number of articles (39%), followed by The Lancet (18%), JAMA (15%) and the Archives of Internal Medicine (15%). The USA, the UK, and Canada headed the absolute global productivity ranking in number of papers. The 64 authors and the 39 institutions with the highest publication rates were identified. We also found 82 clusters of authors (one group with 55 members and one group with 54 members) and 19 clusters of institutions (one major group with 76 members). The most prolific authors were mainly affiliated with the University of Oxford (UK), McMaster University (Canada), and the University of Bern (Switzerland). Conclusions: Our analysis identified networks of authors, institutions and countries publishing meta-analyses of randomized trials in high impact medical journals. This valuable information may be used to strengthen scientific capacity for collaboration and to help to promote a global agenda for future research of excellence.

Design/methodology/approach - More than 8,290 articles indexed in the Chinese Social Science Citation Index (CSSCI), covering the years 2001 to 2010, were included in this study. Statistical analysis, co-occurrence analysis, and semantic similarity methods were applied to the selected articles. The ontology was built using existing construction principles and methods, as well as categories and hierarchy definitions based on CSSCI indexing fields. Findings - Seven categories were found to be relevant for the Chinese information science resource ontology, which, in this study, consists of a three-tier architecture, 78,291 instances, and 182,109 pairs of semantic relations. These results indicate the following: further improvements are required in ontology construction methods; resource ontology is a breakthrough concept in ontology studies; the combination of semantic similarities and co-occurrence analysis can quantitatively describe relationships between concepts. Originality/value - This study pioneers the resource ontology concept. It is one of the first to combine informetric methods with semantic similarity to reveal deep relationships in textual data.

As such, prior attempts were made to compare and evaluate journal ranking criteria for obtaining insightful knowledge on how different research communities have ranked journals. However, existing approaches are unable to model the journal ranking process closely enough as they are incapable of considering the relationship between multiple criteria simultaneously. In this paper, we address the challenges by introducing the Choquet Integral (CI) for evaluating journal ranking criteria. The new approach is able to account for interactions between criteria in relation to overall ranking score, using a fuzzy measure in its computation. Its properties, the Shapley value and the Interaction index, allow for good representations of importance and interactions between criteria. We demonstrate the efficiency of the CI through a case study of journal ranking lists in tourism and service journals.

Source: ACTA NATURAE, 5 (3):6-12; JUL-SEP 2013 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: article, impact factor, Russian journal, full data set, bibliometric indicators, expected citation rate, JCR Abstract: A representative empirical bibliometric analysis of Russian journals included in the Journal Citation Reports-Science Edition (JCR-SE) for the time period 1995-2010 was conducted at the macro level (excluding the subject categories). It was found that the growth in the number of articles covered by JCR (a 1.8-fold increase compared to 1995) is ahead of the growth rates of Russian publications (1.2-fold increase). Hence, the share of Russian articles covered by JCR-SE was down from 2.5% in 1995 to 1.7% in 2010. It was determined that the number of articles published in an average Russian journal reduced by 20% as compared to the number of articles in an average journal of the full data set. These facts could partly shed light on the question why Russian research performance is staggering (approximately 30,000 articles per year), although the coverage of Russian journals has expanded to 150 titles. Over the past 15 years, a twofold increase in the impact factor of the Russian journals has been observed, which is higher than that for the full data set of journals (a 1.4-fold increase). Measures to improve the quality of Russian journals are proposed. Addresses: [Libkind, A. N.; Markusova, V. A.] Russian Acad Sci, All Russian Inst Sci & Tech Informat, Moscow 125190, Russia.

It presents in outline an account of the conditions and the trajectory of events that have culminated in today's "information revolution" and "information society." It suggests that we have already passed through at least two information orders or revolutions as we transition, first, from the long era of print that began over five hundred years ago with Gutenberg and the printing press. We have then moved through a predigital era after World War II, finally to a new era characterized by the advent of the ubiquitous technologies that are considered to herald a new "digital revolution" and the creation of new kind of "information society." It argues that it is possible to see that the past is now opening itself to new kinds of scrutiny as a result of the apparently transformative changes that are currently taking place. It suggests that the future of the history of information science is best thought of as part of a still unrealized convergence of diverse historical approaches to understanding how societies are constituted, sustained, reproduced, and changed in part by information and the infrastructures that emerge to manage information access and use. In conclusion it suggests that different bodies of historical knowledge and historical research methodologies have emerged as we move into the digital world that might be usefully brought together in the future to broaden and deepen explorations of important historical information phenomena from Gutenberg to Google.

Study Design PBs in obstetrics (OB-PBs) and gynecology (GYN-PBs) published from September 1998 to December 2009 were identified. PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Web of Science were utilized to determine how often PBs were cited. The citations were quantified by three parameters, most citations, highest citation rate, and highest *impact factor*. Results The OB-PB with the most citations (125) was PB no. 33 (Diagnosis and Management of Preeclampsia and Eclampsia), highest citation rate (44) was PB no. 101 (Ultrasonography in Pregnancy), highest OBGYN *impact factor* (4.39) was PB no. 71 (Episiotomy), and highest non-OBGYN *impact factor* (53.49) was PB no. 38 (Perinatal Care at Threshold of Viability). The GYN-PB with the highest citation rate (103) was PB no. 109 (Cervical Cytology Screening), highest OBGYN *impact factor* (3.85) was PB no. 103 (Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome), and highest non-OBGYN *impact factor* (20.89) was PB no. 35 (Cervical Carcinoma).

The number of publications, original articles, impact factors and citations were evaluated. A search was performed in PubMed to identify publications related to anesthesiology from 2001 to 2010. All articles from anesthesiology journals listed in the fields of anesthesia/pain therapy, critical care and emergency medicine by the "journal citation report 2013" in Thomson Reuters ISI web of knowledge were included. Articles from non-anaesthesiology journals, where the stem of the word anesthesia (anes*, anaes*, anast*, anast*) appears in the affiliation field of PubMed, were included as well. The time periods 2001-2005 and 2006-2010 were compared. Articles were allocated to university departments in Austria, Germany and Switzerland via the affiliation field. A total of 45 university departments in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and 125,979 publications from 2,863 journals (65 anesthesiology journals, 2,798 non-anesthesiology journals) were analyzed. Of the publications 23 % could not be allocated to a given university department of anesthesiology. In the observation period the university department of anesthesiology in Berlin achieved most publications (n = 479) and impact points (1,384), whereas Vienna accumulated most original articles (n = 156). Austria had the most publications per million inhabitants in 2006-2010 (n=50) followed by Switzerland (n=49) and Germany (n=35). The number of publications during the observation period decreased in Germany (0.5 %), Austria (7 %) and Switzerland (8 %). Tables 2 and 4-8 of this article are available at Springer Link under Supplemental. The research performance varied among the university departments of anesthesiology in Germany, Austria and Switzerland whereby larger university departments, such as Berlin or Vienna published most. Publication output in Germany, Austria and Switzerland has decreased. Data processing in PubMed should be improved.

AimThe aim if this study was to analyze the quality of studies reporting RCTs in the Journal of Sexual Medicine (JSM) and to find relevant clinical impact. MethodsA quality assessment was conducted in all studies identified as RCTs published in the JSM from 2004 to 2012. The review period was divided into three periods: early (2004-2006), mid (2007-2009), and late (2010-2012). Main Outcome MeasuresThe Jadad scale, van Tulder scale, and the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool (CCRBT) quality scoring instruments were used. The RCTs were also categorized by country of origin, topic, the inclusion of institutional review board (IRB) approval, funding, citation rate, and *impact factor*. ResultsA total of 2,418 original articles were published in the JSM during the review period, and 188 were reports of RCTs. There were 39 (14.89%), 70 (7.77%), and 76 (6.29%) RCTs published during the early, mid, and late terms, respectively (P<0.001). No significant increases in Jadad or van Tulder scale scores were found over time nor were there any significant changes in the number of low-risk articles as assessed by the CCRBT. However, significant differences in quality analysis were found in funding and IRB approval. Citation rates and *impact factor* were not correlated with RCT quality using any of the tools. ConclusionsThe number of original articles and RCTs published in the JSM increased over time. However, the ratio of RCTs to original articles did not increase significantly. Adequate randomization and blinding methods, IRB review, and financial support are required for the conduct of high-quality RCTs.

Cognitive empathy was more strongly associated with offending (d = .43) than affective empathy (d = .19). Moderator analyses revealed that various study and participant characteristics (i.e., year of publication, *impact factor*, age and sex of the participant, and assessment instrument) influenced the strength and direction of the association between cognitive empathy and offending. Type of assessment instrument, the number of variables on which the offender and comparison group were matched; age and sex of the participants influenced the strength of the association between affective empathy and offending.

The purpose of this research was to describe and characterize the global collaborative patterns in meta-analyses of randomized trials published in high *impact factor* medical journals over the past three decades. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, social network analysis. We searched PubMed for relevant meta-analyses of randomized trials published up to December 2012. We selected meta-analyses (including at least randomized trials as primary evidence source) published in the top seven high *impact factor* general medical journals (according to Journal Citation Reports 2011): The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, the BMJ, JAMA, Annals of Internal Medicine, Archives of Internal Medicine (now renamed JAMA Internal Medicine), and PLoS Medicine. Opinion articles, conceptual papers, narrative reviews, reviews without meta-analysis, reviews of reviews, and other study designs were excluded. Results: Overall, we included 736 meta-analyses, in which 3,178 authors, 891 institutions, and 51 countries participated. The BMJ was the journal that published the greatest number of articles (39%), followed by The Lancet (18%), JAMA (15%) and the Archives of Internal Medicine (15%). The USA, the UK, and Canada headed the absolute global productivity ranking in number of papers. The 64 authors and the 39 institutions with the highest publication rates were identified. We also found 82 clusters of authors (one group with 55 members and one group with 54 members) and 19 clusters of institutions (one major group with 76 members). The most prolific authors were mainly affiliated with the University of Oxford (UK), McMaster University (Canada), and the University of Bern (Switzerland). Conclusions: Our analysis identified networks of authors, institutions and countries publishing meta-analyses of randomized trials in high impact medical journals. This valuable information may be used to strengthen scientific capacity for collaboration and to help to promote a global agenda for future research of excellence.

Sometimes, this is evident even within a single given field of investigation making very difficult (and inaccurate) the assessment of scientific papers. On the other hand, the problem can be recast in the same framework which has allowed to efficiently cope with the ordering of web-pages, i.e., to formulate the PageRank of Google. For this reason, we call such a problem the PaperRank problem, here solved by using a similar approach to that employed by PageRank. The obtained solution, which is mathematically grounded, will be used to compare the usual heuristics of the number of citations with a new one here proposed. Some numerical tests show that the new heuristics is much more reliable than the currently used ones, based on the bare number of citations. Moreover, we show that our model improves on recently proposed ones (Bini (2010)). We also show that, once the PaperRank problem is correctly solved, one obtains, as a by-product, the ranking of both authors and journals. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Study Design PBs in obstetrics (OB-PBs) and gynecology (GYN-PBs) published from September 1998 to December 2009 were identified. PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Web of Science were utilized to determine how often PBs were cited. The citations were quantified by three parameters, most citations, highest citation rate, and highest impact factor. Results The OB-PB with the most citations (125) was PB no. 33 (Diagnosis and Management of Preeclampsia and Eclampsia), highest citation rate (44) was PB no. 101 (Ultrasonography in Pregnancy), highest OBGYN impact factor (4.39) was PB no. 71 (Episiotomy), and highest non-OBGYN impact factor (53.49) was PB no. 38 (Perinatal Care at Threshold of Viability). The GYN-PB with the highest citation rate (103) was PB no. 109 (Cervical Cytology Screening), highest OBGYN impact factor (3.85) was PB no. 103 (Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome), and highest non-OBGYN impact factor (20.89) was PB no. 35 (Cervical Carcinoma). Conclusions No one PB had the most citations, highest citation rate, and highest impact factor. Addresses: [Bernhard, Kiley A.] Ctr Urban Populat Hlth, Milwaukee, WI USA.

Source: TOBACCO INDUCED DISEASES, 12 10.1186/1617-9625-12-7 APR 13 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Bibliometric, Waterpipe tobacco smoking, Narghile, Shisha, Hookah, Scopus KeyWords Plus: RESEARCH PRODUCTIVITY; GLOBAL EPIDEMIC; GOOGLE-SCHOLAR; SCIENCE; SCOPUS; WEB Abstract: Background: Waterpipe tobacco smoking has spread worldwide. However, the evaluation of scientific output in the field of waterpipe tobacco smoking has not been studied yet. The main objectives of this study were to analyze worldwide research output in the waterpipe tobacco smoking field, and to examine the authorship pattern and the citations retrieved from the Scopus database for over a decade. Methods: Data from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2012 were searched for documents with specific words regarding waterpipe tobacco smoking as "keywords" in the title. Scientific output was evaluated based on a methodology developed and used in other bibliometric studies: (a) total and trends of contributions in waterpipe tobacco smoking research between 2003 and 2012; (b) authorship patterns and research productivity; (c) collaboration patterns; (d) the citations received by the publications; and (e) areas of interest of the published papers. Results: Worldwide there were 334 publications that met the criteria during the study period. The largest number of publications in waterpipe tobacco smoking were from the United States of America (USA) (33.5%), followed by Lebanon (15.3%), and France (10.5%). The total number of citations at the time of data analysis (October 18, 2013) was 4,352, with an average of 13 citations per document and a median (interquartile range) of 4.0 (1.0-16.0). The h-index of the retrieved documents was 34. The highest h-index by country was 27 for the USA, followed by 20 for Syrian Arab Republic and Lebanon. Conclusions: The present data reveal a promising rise and a good start for research activity in the field of waterpipe tobacco smoking. More effort is needed to bridge the gap in waterpipe smoking-based research and to promote better evaluation of waterpipe smoking, risks, health effects, or control services worldwide.

In certain constricted domains of knowledge, keywords and subject descriptors tend to be similar and therefore insufficient to differentiate documents. In this context, instead of relying only on the presence of common terms, the identification of common cited references can be useful to define semantic relationship among documents. The purpose of this work is to add another instance on the research linking information retrieval and bibliometric techniques aided by information technology. A domain analytic method was developed to generate clusters of documents, which uses self-organizing maps, in the scope of artificial neural networks, to categorize documents. The results obtained show that this approach successfully identified clusters of authors and documents through their cited references. In addition, further qualitative analysis of these clusters demonstrates the existence of semantic relationships between the documents. This study can contribute to the development of the field of knowledge organization by evaluating the use of artificial neural networks in the automatic categorization of documents in a constricted knowledge domain based on the analysis of the references cited by these documents.

URL: From dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US Sat May 31 08:48:18 2014 From: dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US (David Wojick) Date: Sat, 31 May 2014 08:48:18 -0400 Subject: The funder identification problem In-Reply-To: Message-ID: The idea that the author's identify the funding subprogram is clear. The problem is how to do that in a universally uniform way so the data can be properly aggregated across all authors and articles? (Plus there are cases where the authors may not know.) That is what the FundRef funder taxonomy is trying to do but it is not simple. By the way, at the just happened SSP annual meeting it was announced that CHORUS and SHARE will collaborate on a funder notification system. This may help. Reconfiguring the agency contract data systems to include subprogram data is probably not feasible. It would be a big job and the agencies are not that interested in access. Their challenge is spending the money. Most consider public access a chore, especially since there is no funding for it, perhaps even a threat because it will lead to new kinds of performance assessment.

But as far as funder identification goes, SHARE and CHORUS share the problem. This is because the grant information that institutions get does not identify the specific funding program. For example, in DOE the grant contract and grant number merely say that the grant is from the Office of Science, which funds about $5 billion a year. Which of their many programs and sub-programs funded a given grant is not specified. So the institution still has to get that information from the author, just as the publisher does. And the resulting data must be uniform across all institutions, just as with all CHORUS publishers. >> >> So the grant-contract-and-number does not specify the program and subprogram. But the specific funder certainly knows what the program and subprogram is. And the author-and-institution certainly knows what the program and subprogram is. So what's the problem that necessitates publishers (of all parties) to become the custodians of these data, which have nothing to do with publishers? >> >> (a) The exact source of the grant can be disambiguated top-down, with the funders linking the grant-contract-and-number to the exact funding source.

At present few, if any, institutional repositories have deposit enforcement that would meet federal standards. Most repository programs are voluntary, so an unreliable source of ALL funded articles. And many institutions have no repository, especially federal laboratories. So all in all the institutions have much further to go than the publishers, as far as the federal program goes. Keep in mind that the paradigm federal access program at this point is PubMed Central, which works with publishers, not institutions. >> >> This is why I have been urging for years that deposit should always be convergent, not divergent, with all funders and all institutions mandating institutional deposit, not institution-external deposit.

This can be implemented with the help of CRISes and CERIF in conformity with CASRAI -- and it would be an excellent idea if the US and EU collaborated convergently on this, "harmonizing" their policies rather than diverging and going their own ways, since Public/Open Access is a global goal. But note that the specific goal of US Public Access Policy is that *each fundee should make each article resulting from US Federal funding Open Access within the designated time frame, crediting the funder. * That is accomplished by each fundee making each article resulting from US Federal funding OA within the designated time frame -- by (1) depositing each article in their institutional repository along with (2) metadata tags specifying the funding source and (3) by making the deposit OA within the allowable embargo period.

But on no account should publishers be entrusted to run the show, in the implementation of the US Public Access Policy. The source of the funding-source data is the funders (top-down) and the fundees and their institutions (bottom-up). And these are perfectly capable of doing and storing their own record-keeping! Publishers (and CHORUS) having nothing whatsoever to do with it. *Reconfiguring the agency contract data systems to include subprogram data > is probably not feasible.

The agencies are not intrinsically interested in access. They just have to fulfill their mandate (just as fundees do), which has now become not just to fund research but also to make it a condition of the funding that the resulting articles must be made OA. So each funder now stipulates to each fundee that one of the conditions for receiving the funding is now that it must be deposited in the fundee's institutional repository (and made OA within the allowed embargo window). It then becomes the reponsibility of the fundee to comply, and the responsibility of the fundee's institution to ensure that the fundee complies -- by depositing the article and its funder-idenifying metadata in the IR and making it OA within the allowable window. All IR deposits are time-stamped by the IR software; so is the date the deposit is made OA. So the optimal system is for the fundee to deposit the final refereed draft of each article, together with its funder metadata, *on the date it is accepted for publication* (the acceptance letter can be deposited alongside it too, in closed access) and to make the deposit OA either immediately (for the 60% of publishers that do not embargo OA) or when the allowable publisher embargo has elapsed. That in essence is all there is to it: The agency fulfills its obligations, the fundee institution fulfills its obligations, and the fundees fulfill their obligations under the US Public Access Policy -- and not only is OA provided (at the latest) after allowable embargoes have elapsed, but "Almost-OA" can be provided immediately as of deposit, with the help of each IR's Copy-Request Button . Please keep this as simple and feasible as it really is, rather than adding far-fetched worries about whether fundees and their institutions really know who their funders are (of course they do!) and whether the funder metadata can be matched with the article deposit (of course it can!). *Stevan Harnad* > On May 30, 2014, at 8:26 PM, Stevan Harnad wrote: > > Adminstrative info for SIGMETRICS (for example unsubscribe): > http://web.utk.edu/~gwhitney/sigmetrics.html > On Fri, May 30, 2014 at 5:58 PM, David Wojick < > dwojick at craigellachie.us> wrote: > > >> *Stevan, you seem to think that I am advocating for a publisher based >> solution but I am not.
