These metrics come from a range of sources, including Twitter, blogs, social reference managers, post-publication peer review, and other social media platforms. Social media metrics have begun to be used as indicators of scientific impact, yet the theoretical foundation, empirical validity, and extent of use of platforms underlying these metrics lack thorough treatment in the literature. For this special issue, we invite research papers focusing on social media in scholarly communication, which assess opportunities made available by and challenges of the use of various metrics from quantitative, qualitative, and theoretical points of view. Potential topics include but are not limited to: - Novel methods of analyzing social media in scholarly communication - Evaluation of various new sources of metrics (e.g., tweets, social bookmarking and readership counts, post publication peer review rankings, blog posts, mass media coverage, views and downloads of presentations, datasets, code) - Meaning of and differentiation between various social media metrics - Challenging or validating the concept of alternative metrics - Theoretical and qualitative approaches to classifying and defining social media metrics - Best practices and limitations in data collection and cleaning - Data accuracy and reproducibility - User behavior - Gaming or abuse of social media metrics - Social media metrics in research evaluation and researchers? careers - Ethics of social media metrics - Altmetrics as tools for libraries and publishers - Social network analyses and visualizations of social media environments. *Submissions* Papers should focus on social-media based tools and metrics in the context of scholarly communication. All methodological approaches are welcome. Case studies and proof-of-concept studies should present new and unique findings and highlight future research possibilities and developments. Opinion pieces and review articles will not be considered for the special issue. Papers should be 4,000 to 9,000 words in length (including references) and in accordance with the journal?s author guidelines . For all additional information prior to submission, please contact the guest editors Stefanie Haustein , Vincent Larivi?re , or Cassidy R. Sugimoto . Please submit to Aslib Journal of Information Management using ScholarOne Manuscripts , our online submission and peer review system and indicate that you are submitting to the special issue. *About the Journal* Aslib Journal of Information Management (AJIM; previously: Aslib Proceedings, ISSN: 2050-3806) is a peer-reviewed international journal providing key insights into the latest international developments in the research and practice of information management and information science.

We use a richer dataset to show that a scholar's performance should be considered with respect to position in multiple networks. Previous research using only the network of researchers' joint publications shows that a researcher's distinct connections to other researchers, a researcher's number of repeated collaborative outputs, and a researchers' redundant connections to a group of researchers who are themselves well-connected has a positive impact on the researchers' performance, while a researcher's tendency to connect with other researchers who are themselves well-connected (i.e., eigenvector centrality) had a negative impact on the researchers' performance. Our findings are similar except that we find that eigenvector centrality has a positive impact on the performance of scholars. Moreover, our results demonstrate that a researcher's tendency toward dense local neighborhoods and the researchers' demographic attributes such as gender should also be considered when investigating the impact of the social network metrics on the performance of researchers.

Although a single number is simple to calculate, it fails to outline his/her academic performance varying with time. We empirically study the basic h-index sequence for cumulative publications with consideration of the yearly citation performance (for convenience, referred as L-Sequence). L-Sequence consists of a series of L factors. Based on the citations received in the corresponding individual year, every factor along a scientist's career span is calculated by using the h index formula. Thus L-Sequence shows the scientist's dynamic research trajectory and provides insight into his/her scientific performance at different periods. Furthermore, L proportional to, summing up all factors of L-Sequence, is for the evaluation of the whole research career as alternative to other h-index variants. Importantly, the partial factors of the L-Sequence can be adapted for different evaluation tasks. Moreover, L-Sequence could be used to highlight outstanding scientists in a specific period whose research interests can be used to study the history and trends of a specific discipline.

The evaluation is based on the citation analysis and its results should be close to a human viewpoint. The PageRank algorithm and its modifications were used for the evaluation of various types of citation networks. Our main research question was whether better evaluation results were based directly on an author network or on a publication network. Other issues concerned, for example, the determination of weights in the author network and the distribution of publication scores among their authors. The citation networks were extracted from the computer science domain in the ISI Web of Science database. The influence of self-citations was also explored. To find the best network for a research evaluation, the outputs of PageRank were compared with lists of prestigious awards in computer science such as the Turing and Codd award, ISI Highly Cited and ACM Fellows. Our experiments proved that the best ranking of authors was obtained by using a publication citation network from which self-citations were eliminated, and by distributing the same proportional parts of the publications' values to their authors. The ranking can be used as a criterion for the financial support of research teams, for identifying leaders of such teams, etc. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Here I investigate P100 for 5 example datasets, two simple fictitious models and three larger empirical samples. Counterintuitive behavior is demonstrated in the model datasets, pointing to difficulties when the evolution with time of the indicator is analyzed or when different fields or publication years are compared. It is shown that similar problems can occur for the three larger datasets of empirical citation values. Further, it is observed that the performance evaluation result in terms of percentiles can be influenced by selecting different journals for publication of a manuscript. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Impact of the current competition regime on science and scientific publishing in Latin America and its implications for development Authors: Vessuri, H; Guedon, JC; Cetto, AM Author Full Names: Vessuri, Hebe; Guedon, Jean-Claude; Maria Cetto, Ana Source: CURRENT SOCIOLOGY, 62 (5):647-665; SI 10.1177/0011392113512839 SEP 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Excellence, Latin America, open access journals, quality and research evaluation, research policy, scientific competition, scientific recognition Abstract: The current competition regime that characterizes international science is often presented as a quest for excellence. It diversely affects research in Latin America and research in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. This article asks how this competition regime may orient the direction of research in Latin America, and to whose advantage. It is argued that, by relating excellence to quality differently, a research policy that seeks to improve the level of science in Latin America while preserving the possibility of solving problems relevant to the region can be designed. Competition, it is also argued, certainly has its place in science, but not as a general management tool, especially if the goal is to improve overall quality of science in Latin America. Scientific competition is largely managed through journals and their reputation. Therefore, designing a science policy for Latin America (and for any 'peripheral' region of the world) requires paying special attention to the mechanisms underpinning the production, circulation and consumption of scientific journals. So-called 'international' or 'core' journals are of particular interest as local, national, or even regional journals must struggle to find their place in this peculiar publishing eco-system.

Many previous studies make analysis on the static usage data. In this research, we propose the concept of dynamic usage data. Based on the platform of realtime.springer.com, we have been monitoring and recording the dynamic usage data of *Scientometrics* articles round the clock. Our analysis find that papers published in recent four years have many more downloads than papers published four years ago. According to our quantitative calculation, papers downloaded on one day have an average lifetime of 4.1 years approximately. Classic papers are still being downloaded frequently even long after their publication. Additionally, we find that social media may reboot the attention of old scientific literature in a short time.

Authors: Boyack, KW; Klavans, R Author Full Names: Boyack, Kevin W.; Klavans, Richard Source: JOURNAL OF INFORMETRICS, 8 (3):569-580; 10.1016/j.joi.2014.04.001 JUL 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Science mapping, Direct citation, Non-source documents, Books KeyWords Plus: SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE; SOCIAL-SCIENCES; COCITATION; EXPLORATION; PERSPECTIVE; INDICATORS; HUMANITIES; OUTPUT Abstract: Cited non-source documents such as articles from regional journals, conference papers, books and book chapters, working papers and reports have begun to attract more attention in the literature. Most of this attention has been directed at understanding the effects of including non-source items in research evaluation. In contrast, little work has been done to examine the effects of including non-source items on science maps and on the structure of science as reflected by those maps. In this study we compare two direct citation maps of a 16-year set of Scopus documents - one that includes only source documents, and one that includes non-source documents along with the source documents. In addition to more than doubling the contents of the map, from 19 M to 43 M documents, the inclusion of non-source items strongly augments the social sciences relative to the natural sciences and medicine and makes their position in the map more central. Books are also found to play a significant role in the map, and are much more highly cited on average than articles. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Then, we investigated 58,963 papers of Nobel laureates during 1900-2000 and found 758 sleeping beauties. By proposing and using G(s) index, an adjustment of Gini coefficient, to measure the inequality of "heartbeat spectrum", we observed that publications which possess "late heartbeats" (most citations were received in the second half of sleeping period) have higher awakening probability than those have "early heartbeats" (most citations were received in the first half of sleeping period). The awakening probability appears the highest if an article's G(s) index exists in the interval [0.2, 0.6). (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

However, *scientometric* studies have typically focused on a single genre, the journal article. The goal of this study is to understand the role that handbooks play in knowledge creation and diffusion and their relationship with the genre of journal articles, particularly in highly interdisciplinary and emergent social science and humanities disciplines. To shed light on these questions we focused on handbooks and journal articles published over the last four decades belonging to the research area of science and technology studies (STS), broadly defined. To get a detailed picture we used the full-text of five handbooks (500,000 words) and a well-defined set of 11,700 STS articles. We confirmed the methodological split of STS into qualitative and quantitative (*scientometric*) approaches. Even when the two traditions explore similar topics (e.g., science and gender) they approach them from different starting points. The change in cognitive foci in both handbooks and articles partially reflects the changing trends in STS research, often driven by technology. Using text similarity measures we found that, in the case of STS, handbooks play no special role in either focusing the research efforts or marking their decline. In general, they do not represent the summaries of research directions that have emerged since the previous edition of the handbook. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A new *bibliographic* source, Microsoft Academic Search, is introduced to test its suitability for bibliometric analyses. Citation counts and 500 one-step ego networks were extracted from this engine. Results show that tiny and sparse networks - characterized by a high Betweenness centrality and a high Average path length - achieved more citations per document than dense and compact networks described by a high Clustering coefficient and a high Average degree. According to disciplinary differences, Mathematics, Social Sciences and Economics & Business are the disciplines with more sparse and tiny networks; while Physics, Engineering and Geosciences are characterized by dense and crowded networks. This suggests that in sparse ego networks, the central author have more control on their collaborators being more selective in their recruitment and concluding that this behaviour has positive implications in the research impact.

Source: JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN PUBLIC POLICY, 21 (10):1412-1434; 10.1080/13501763.2014.936483 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Analytical review, European Union lobbying, scholarship KeyWords Plus: INTERNATIONAL-RELATIONS; EUROPEAN-UNION; POLICY Abstract: Which European universities and research centres are most prominent in research on European Union (EU) interest groups? What are the theoretical perspectives employed currently in this scholarship? What research designs do scholars employ to study and investigate EU interest groups? And finally, what are the academic works that constitute the core building blocks on which researchers of EU lobbying build their theoretical arguments and empirical research? We answer these questions by analysing an original, built-for-purpose dataset providing information on the theoretical approaches, research designs and *bibliographic* references employed in 196 academic articles published on the topic of EU lobbying and interest groups in 22 European and American journals of political science and public policy. The dataset also contains information about authors' academic affiliation and Ph.D.-awarding institutions. We combine two approaches employed in the literature on systematic analyses of a discipline: the research synthesis and meta-analysis approach, and the bibliometric approach.

Evidence from a quantitative analysis of 30 years of production, collaboration and *citations* in the social sciences (1980-2009) Authors: Mosbah-Natanson, S; Gingras, Y Author Full Names: Mosbah-Natanson, Sebastien; Gingras, Yves Source: CURRENT SOCIOLOGY, 62 (5):626-646; SI 10.1177/0011392113498866 SEP 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Bibliometrics, globalization, periphery, quantitative studies, social sciences KeyWords Plus: SCIENTIFIC OUTPUT; SOCIOLOGY; DATABASES; AMERICAN; PATTERNS; COVERAGE; EUROPE; WORLD Abstract: This article addresses the issue of internationalization of social sciences by studying the evolution of production (of academic articles), collaboration and citations patterns among main world regions over the period 1980-2009 using the SSCI. The results confirm the centre-periphery model and indicate that the centrality of the two major regions that are North America and Europe is largely unchallenged, Europe having become more important and despite the growing development of Asian social sciences. The authors' quantitative approach shows that the growing production in the social sciences but also the rise of international collaborations between regions have not led to a more homogeneous circulation of the knowledge produced by different regions, or to a substantial increase in the visibility of the contributions produced by peripheral regions. Social scientists from peripheral regions, while producing more papers in the core journals compiled by the SSCI, have a stronger tendency to cite journals from the two central regions, thus losing at least partially their more locally embedded references, and to collaborate more with western social scientists. In other words, the dynamic of internationalization of social science research may also lead to a phagocytosis of the periphery into the two major centers, which brings with it the danger of losing interest in the local objects specific to those peripheral regions.

We concentrate on indices aiming at capturing the global impact of a scientific output and do not investigate indices aiming at capturing an average impact. Hence, the indices that we study are designed to evaluate authors or groups of authors but not journals. The bibliometric indices that are studied include classic ones such as the number of highly cited papers as well as more recent ones such as the h-index and the g-index. We give conditions that characterize these indices, up to the multiplication by a positive constant. We also study the bibliometric rankings that are induced by these indices. Hence, we provide a general framework for the comparison of bibliometric rankings and indices. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Previous research using only the network of researchers' joint publications shows that a researcher's distinct connections to other researchers, a researcher's number of repeated collaborative outputs, and a researchers' redundant connections to a group of researchers who are themselves well-connected has a positive impact on the researchers' performance, while a researcher's tendency to connect with other researchers who are themselves well-connected (i.e., eigenvector centrality) had a negative impact on the researchers' performance. Our findings are similar except that we find that eigenvector centrality has a positive impact on the performance of scholars. Moreover, our results demonstrate that a researcher's tendency toward dense local neighborhoods and the researchers' demographic attributes such as gender should also be considered when investigating the impact of the social network metrics on the performance of researchers.

Data were obtained from the 2011 edition of JCR available for universities in Spain. The citing journal matrix available in JCR was used to identify the cited journals that appear most frequently in the h-core. The results show that about 70% of citing journals occupy positions other than the first one in the set of journals cited by them. Some properties of the distribution of cited journals that appear in the h-core are also studied, such as the cost, in terms of citations, of occupying a given position, and the spectrum of positions (distribution of frequencies with which a given cited journal appears in different positions). The measures calculated here could be used to define new scientometric indicators. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, doi:10.1109/TPC.2013.2255935) performed a bibliometric analysis of an extensive set of scientific journals within the Engineering field, published by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). The analysis was based on (i) the citation impact of journal articles and (ii) the reputation of journal authors in terms of total scientific production and relevant citation impact. The goal of this paper is to complement the prior analysis, investigating on the different citation cultures of these journals, depending on the sub-field/specialty of interest. To perform this evaluation, it is suggested a novel technique, which takes into account the connections between journals and some highly specialized communities of scientists, known as IEEE Technical Societies and Councils. After showing significant differences in terms of propensity to cite, probably attributable to the large variety of sub-fields and specialties covered by IEEE journals, it is presented a simplified technique for the sub-field normalization of the results of the prior study. The main contribution of this work is (1) providing an empirical confirmation of the complexity of the problem of normalization, even for journals within the same field but different sub-fields/specialties, and (2) showing how the use of highly specialized information on a journal reference sub-field(s) may be helpful for improving the estimation of the journal propensity to cite. Description is supported by a large amount of empirical data. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Although a single number is simple to calculate, it fails to outline his/her academic performance varying with time. We empirically study the basic h-index sequence for cumulative publications with consideration of the yearly citation performance (for convenience, referred as L-Sequence). L-Sequence consists of a series of L factors. Based on the citations received in the corresponding individual year, every factor along a scientist's career span is calculated by using the h index formula. Thus L-Sequence shows the scientist's dynamic research trajectory and provides insight into his/her scientific performance at different periods. Furthermore, L proportional to, summing up all factors of L-Sequence, is for the evaluation of the whole research career as alternative to other h-index variants. Importantly, the partial factors of the L-Sequence can be adapted for different evaluation tasks. Moreover, L-Sequence could be used to highlight outstanding scientists in a specific period whose research interests can be used to study the history and trends of a specific discipline.

The evaluation is based on the citation analysis and its results should be close to a human viewpoint. The PageRank algorithm and its modifications were used for the evaluation of various types of citation networks. Our main research question was whether better evaluation results were based directly on an author network or on a publication network. Other issues concerned, for example, the determination of weights in the author network and the distribution of publication scores among their authors. The citation networks were extracted from the computer science domain in the ISI Web of Science database. The influence of self-citations was also explored. To find the best network for a research evaluation, the outputs of PageRank were compared with lists of prestigious awards in computer science such as the Turing and Codd award, ISI Highly Cited and ACM Fellows. Our experiments proved that the best ranking of authors was obtained by using a publication citation network from which self-citations were eliminated, and by distributing the same proportional parts of the publications' values to their authors. The ranking can be used as a criterion for the financial support of research teams, for identifying leaders of such teams, etc. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Here I investigate P100 for 5 example datasets, two simple fictitious models and three larger empirical samples. Counterintuitive behavior is demonstrated in the model datasets, pointing to difficulties when the evolution with time of the indicator is analyzed or when different fields or publication years are compared. It is shown that similar problems can occur for the three larger datasets of empirical citation values. Further, it is observed that the performance evaluation result in terms of percentiles can be influenced by selecting different journals for publication of a manuscript. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

What are the theoretical perspectives employed currently in this scholarship? What research designs do scholars employ to study and investigate EU interest groups? And finally, what are the academic works that constitute the core building blocks on which researchers of EU lobbying build their theoretical arguments and empirical research? We answer these questions by analysing an original, built-for-purpose dataset providing information on the theoretical approaches, research designs and bibliographic references employed in 196 academic articles published on the topic of EU lobbying and interest groups in 22 European and American journals of political science and public policy. The dataset also contains information about authors' academic affiliation and Ph.D.-awarding institutions. We combine two approaches employed in the literature on systematic analyses of a discipline: the research synthesis and meta-analysis approach, and the bibliometric approach.

METHODS: Retrospective evaluation of errata reports for articles published in 20 English-language general medicine and cardiovascular journals (mean impact factor, 12.23; median, 5.52) over 18 months. Each independently adjudicated erratum was categorized by location in the article and qualitative categories of severity. Descriptive statistics and Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were computed to describe the association between author and errata number. Source of error, association between impact factor and errata occurrence, and errata rate by journal were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 557 articles were associated with errata reports (overall errata report occurrence 4.2 per 100 published original and review articles; mean of 2.4 errors per errata report). At least 1 major error that materially altered data interpretation was present in 24.2% of articles with errata. There was a strong association between impact factor and errata occurrence rate (rho = 0.869, P < .001). Across all errata, 51.0% were not corrected or the report did not specify whether a correction was made. CONCLUSIONS: The reporting of errata across journals lacks uniformity. Despite published criteria for authorship that mandate final approval of the manuscript by all authors, errors are frequent, including those that may materially change the interpretation of data. Increased vigilance by authors to prevent errata and consensus by journal editors on the format of reporting are warranted. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

In particular, our ranking framework dynamically adjusts its random walk parameters according to both contents and age of encountered documents, thus incorporating the diversity of topics and how they evolve over time into the score of a scientific publication. Our random walk framework results in a ranking of scientific documents which is shown to be more effective in facilitating literature exploration than PageRank measured against a proxy gold standard based on papers' potential usefulness in facilitating later research. One of its many strengths lies in its practical value in reliably retrieving and placing promisingly useful papers at the top of its ranking. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Data were obtained from the 2011 edition of JCR available for universities in Spain. The citing journal matrix available in JCR was used to identify the cited journals that appear most frequently in the h-core. The results show that about 70% of citing journals occupy positions other than the first one in the set of journals cited by them. Some properties of the distribution of cited journals that appear in the h-core are also studied, such as the cost, in terms of citations, of occupying a given position, and the spectrum of positions (distribution of frequencies with which a given cited journal appears in different positions). The measures calculated here could be used to define new scientometric indicators. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, doi:10.1109/TPC.2013.2255935) performed a bibliometric analysis of an extensive set of scientific journals within the Engineering field, published by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). The analysis was based on (i) the citation impact of journal articles and (ii) the reputation of journal authors in terms of total scientific production and relevant citation impact. The goal of this paper is to complement the prior analysis, investigating on the different citation cultures of these journals, depending on the sub-field/specialty of interest. To perform this evaluation, it is suggested a novel technique, which takes into account the connections between journals and some highly specialized communities of scientists, known as IEEE Technical Societies and Councils. After showing significant differences in terms of propensity to cite, probably attributable to the large variety of sub-fields and specialties covered by IEEE journals, it is presented a simplified technique for the sub-field normalization of the results of the prior study. The main contribution of this work is (1) providing an empirical confirmation of the complexity of the problem of normalization, even for journals within the same field but different sub-fields/specialties, and (2) showing how the use of highly specialized information on a journal reference sub-field(s) may be helpful for improving the estimation of the journal propensity to cite. Description is supported by a large amount of empirical data. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The web application visualizes institutional performance within specific subject areas as ranking lists and on custom tile-based maps. The new, substantially enhanced version of the web application and the generalized linear mixed model for binomial data on which it is based are described in this paper. Scopus data are used which have been collected for the SCImago Institutions Ranking. Only those universities and research-focused institutions are considered that have published at least 500 articles, reviews and conference papers in the period 2006-2010 in a certain Scopus subject area. In the enhanced version, the effect of single covariates (such as the per capita GDP of a country in which an institution is located) on two performance metrics (best paper rate and best journal rate) is examined and visualized. A covariate-adjusted ranking and mapping of the institutions is produced in which the single covariates are held constant. The results on the performance of institutions can then be interpreted as if the institutions all had the same value (reference point) for the covariate in question. For example, those institutions can be identified worldwide showing a very good performance despite a bad financial situation in the corresponding country. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We analyzed the time gap phenomena between three resources and two academic areas by conducting text mining-based content analysis. To this end, a topic modeling technique, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) was used to estimate the optimal time gaps among three resources (papers, patents, and web news articles) in two research domains. The contributions of this study are summarized as follows: firstly, we propose a new temporal analysis method to understand the content characteristics and trends of heterogeneous multiple resources in an integrated manner. We applied it to measure the exact time intervals between academic areas by understanding the time gap phenomena. The results of temporal analysis showed that the resources of the medical field had more up-to-date property than those of the computer field, and thus prompter disclosure to the public. Secondly, we adopted a power-law exponent measurement and content analysis to evaluate the proposed method. With the proposed method, we demonstrate how to analyze heterogeneous resources more precisely and comprehensively. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The evaluation is based on the citation analysis and its results should be close to a human viewpoint. The PageRank algorithm and its modifications were used for the evaluation of various types of citation networks. Our main research question was whether better evaluation results were based directly on an author network or on a publication network. Other issues concerned, for example, the determination of weights in the author network and the distribution of publication scores among their authors. The citation networks were extracted from the computer science domain in the ISI Web of Science database. The influence of self-citations was also explored. To find the best network for a research evaluation, the outputs of PageRank were compared with lists of prestigious awards in computer science such as the Turing and Codd award, ISI Highly Cited and ACM Fellows. Our experiments proved that the best ranking of authors was obtained by using a publication citation network from which self-citations were eliminated, and by distributing the same proportional parts of the publications' values to their authors. The ranking can be used as a criterion for the financial support of research teams, for identifying leaders of such teams, etc. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In fact with the spread usage of ?bad? bibliometrics the discipline is starting to be viewed as irrelevant or seriously flawed and biased. It is important to read carefully the now famous DORA declaration that not only discourages the usage of the impact factor but it is also attacking the whole citation analysis as the recommended evaluation tool. I already mentioned during the Vienna session that from a practical point of view the success of certain rankings of Universities that use flawed citation data is also a source of potential danger for the prestige of the discipline. A few days ago the British magazine Times Higher Education (THE) published the last edition of its very popular ranking of Universities. Besides a reputation survey-based indicator they also collect citation data (30% of the overall score) that during the last years have produced very striking results. Among others, you can check in the current edition that Federico Santa Maria Technical University, Chile has a larger score than Harvard or Princeton, Tokyo Metropolitan University larger than Caltech or Stanford, or Bogazici University, Turkey is performing better than Oxford or Cambridge. My point here is that data does not come from a THE journalist but, surprise, directly from Thomson Reuters, as stated in their methodology webpage: ?this year, our data supplier Thomson Reuters examined more than 50 million citations to 6 million journal articles, published over five years. The data are drawn from the 12,000 academic journals indexed by Thomson Reuters' Web of Science database and include all indexed journals published between 2008 and 2012. Citations to these papers made in the six years from 2008 to 2013 are also collected?. You can find a very good analysis with tables in the blog of Richard Holmes: http://rankingwatch.blogspot.com/ I know that Thomson Reuters is an independent private company, but I wonder if our community as represented in this forum could ask for a strong action regarding this unfortunate situation. -- ************************************ Isidro F.

This term should be replaced by a better one like webindicators or netindicators or anything saying clearly that those are not 'alternative' but different measures adapted to a different mode of diffusion.

I am having LSU Libraries buy a copy of it, so you have sold at least one. I hope that you have discussed the differences between how the Google and Microsoft search engines operate. I understand how PageRank operates, but I do not understand how Bing operates. All I know is that you obtain much better results with Google than with Microsoft, which seems to be quite new. I have tested them both. For your information, Harzing has now interfaced her PoP program with Microsoft Academic as well as Google Scholar. Now you can really run comparative tests between Google and Microsoft. You seem to get better results with her PoP than with the Microsoft Academic site itself. At least her rankings are much better, although it is quite obvious from her program that Microsoft coverage is much weaker. As a matter of curiosity, what metric did you use to measure the quantitative aspects? You cannot use standard bibliographic classifications such as number of books, journals, journal articles, working papers, etc. etc., because I do not think that either Google or Microsoft can identify these. The Web has no authority structure whatever. You are not dealing with OCLC WorldCat. It must be something like megabytes of data or something like that. We are finishing a paper on how Google Scholar operates. I'd like you to vet it when we have it ready.

Sorry, I am not the author of the book. it was written by my collaborator and friend Jos? Luis Ortega, also in this forum, so you can expect an answer from him soon. But, I can give a few hints to some of your questions. Bing is using the technology of the former Yahoo search engine. I do not know exactly the way Bing works but my feeling is they are using visits as main criteria. Probably there are far more variables involved, but number of visits play a similar role to links in Google`s PageRank. Of course, it is also possible links are also taken into account. Microsoft Academic Search is a completely different animal. Really it is a traditional bibliographic database, but I must recognize that although they are using h-index, I am unable to understand the rankings they publish.

I am looking forward to hearing from Jose. He and I are already in close contact on these matters. I definitely want you two to vet the paper we have done. It should be ready soon. I screwed up in posting in it on arXiv, and it may take a while to correct my stupidity of submitting the damn thing multiple times, because I did not know what I was doing. You have already answered one of my questions. The former Yahoo research engine was based upon AltVista, which defined documentary sets by words. It was this system that Page tested and rejected as delivering incoherent, irrelevant sets. Instead Page incorporated Garfield's theory of citation indexing, which defines relevant sets by linkages. He strengthened this by also incorporating Narin's influential method. Doing this delivered clearer more relevant sets than AltVista. Multiple linkages are better at semantically defining sets that multiple token words. If your book presents these facts, then I can strangle Microsoft Academic in its cradle, as Churchill once said of a certain political system that now seems to have come back into vogue. I hope to get the book and hear from Jose.

And of course I already purchased a copy of Ortega's book :) As regards Microsoft Academic Search, and PoP software, we must take into account that MAS is completely outdated. This issue is detected by Ortega in his book. Moreover it was published by EC3 Research group by means of a working paper few months ago. A more in-depth analysis has been performed, which has been recently accepted for publication, where we study this drop of coverage according to disciplines, universities and journals. Therefore, MAS cannot be used now for quantitative purposes. Additionally, the MAS API does not work properly with queries that return hit count estimates surpassing 1,000 results. And we can add finally all sometimes unknown legal considerations in the reuse of Bing results due to Microsoft copyright. Finally, some official voices from Microsoft announced that MAS results will be integrated into Bing results, in an ongoing processs. As regards Google Scholar, as Isidro said, "site" command may be used both in Google and Google Scholar. But be carefull, because search commands are changing in Scholar. For example the combination of "site" and "filetype" stopped working. In any case, site command in Google and Bing sometimes get us unexpected results in terms of coverage.

It simplifies matters. At least MAS no longer needs to be taken into account, and we can focus on Google Scholar. If we are going to make assessments on how the WWW is revolutionizing the scientific/scholarly information system, we have to have a single standard, and that is Google. The problems are complex enough without the need to compare competitive systems. Life was better and easier when the SCI was the single standard just as it was when peer ratings were the only standard SB.

One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web." Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system-number of word tokens in given document-that was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else. This took less than 10 years. The Chinese have a curse about living in interesting times, and our times are sure interesting in this sense.

(Jeroen)) Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2014 21:40:31 +0000 Subject: A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Stephen, Thanks for your insightful elaboration. The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this! By the way, I am not saying that MAS does a better job in this respect and I am a fan of Google Scholar. Best, Jeroen Bosman @jeroenbosman Op 9 okt. 2014 om 22:27 heeft "Stephen J Bensman" > het volgende geschreven: Jeroen Here is summary of what I think that we are involved in with academic search engines: ?Academic search engines are an extremely complex topic, since we are now engaged in an information revolution on the same scale as the invention of the printing press in the 15th century and the scientific journal in the 17th century, except what was accomplished took centuries then, and we will do it in a decade or so now. One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web.? Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system?number of word tokens in given document?that was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else. This took less than 10 years. The Chinese have a curse about living in interesting times, and our times are sure interesting in this sense.

The problems are complex enough without the need to compare competitive systems.

And of course I already purchased a copy of Ortega's book :) As regards Microsoft Academic Search, and PoP software, we must take into account that MAS is completely outdated. This issue is detected by Ortega in his book. Moreover it was published by EC3 Research group by means of a working paper few months ago. A more in-depth analysis has been performed, which has been recently accepted for publication, where we study this drop of coverage according to disciplines, universities and journals. Therefore, MAS cannot be used now for quantitative purposes. Additionally, the MAS API does not work properly with queries that return hit count estimates surpassing 1,000 results. And we can add finally all sometimes unknown legal considerations in the reuse of Bing results due to Microsoft copyright. Finally, some official voices from Microsoft announced that MAS results will be integrated into Bing results, in an ongoing processs. As regards Google Scholar, as Isidro said, "site" command may be used both in Google and Google Scholar. But be carefull, because search commands are changing in Scholar. For example the combination of "site" and "filetype" stopped working. In any case, site command in Google and Bing sometimes get us unexpected results in terms of coverage.

He and I are already in close contact on these matters. I definitely want you two to vet the paper we have done. It should be ready soon. I screwed up in posting in it on arXiv, and it may take a while to correct my stupidity of submitting the damn thing multiple times, because I did not know what I was doing. You have already answered one of my questions. The former Yahoo research engine was based upon AltVista, which defined documentary sets by words. It was this system that Page tested and rejected as delivering incoherent, irrelevant sets. Instead Page incorporated Garfield's theory of citation indexing, which defines relevant sets by linkages. He strengthened this by also incorporating Narin's influential method. Doing this delivered clearer more relevant sets than AltVista. Multiple linkages are better at semantically defining sets that multiple token words. If your book presents these facts, then I can strangle Microsoft Academic in its cradle, as Churchill once said of a certain political system that now seems to have come back into vogue. I hope to get the book and hear from Jose.

Aguillo Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2014 9:07 AM To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines Dear Stephen, Ooops! Sorry, I am not the author of the book. it was written by my collaborator and friend Jos? Luis Ortega, also in this forum, so you can expect an answer from him soon. But, I can give a few hints to some of your questions. Bing is using the technology of the former Yahoo search engine. I do not know exactly the way Bing works but my feeling is they are using visits as main criteria. Probably there are far more variables involved, but number of visits play a similar role to links in Google`s PageRank. Of course, it is also possible links are also taken into account. Microsoft Academic Search is a completely different animal. Really it is a traditional bibliographic database, but I must recognize that although they are using h-index, I am unable to understand the rankings they publish. To my knowledge, MAS and Bing are completely independent products. On the contrary, Google and Google Scholar are closely interlinked. Regarding web indicators I use number of webpages under different levels of web addresses, like for example number of webpages in the webservers of your university site:lsu.edu This syntax is valid for Google, Bing and even Google Scholar.

I am having LSU Libraries buy a copy of it, so you have sold at least one. I hope that you have discussed the differences between how the Google and Microsoft search engines operate. I understand how PageRank operates, but I do not understand how Bing operates. All I know is that you obtain much better results with Google than with Microsoft, which seems to be quite new. I have tested them both. > > For your information, Harzing has now interfaced her PoP program with Microsoft Academic as well as Google Scholar. Now you can really run comparative tests between Google and Microsoft. You seem to get better results with her PoP than with the Microsoft Academic site itself.

The models provided by Google and Microsoft were completely different. Google has won. But MAS provided better functionalities, robustness, etc. The model followed by two companies in the creation of researcher profiles maybe was the key in the downgrade of MAS. In Google, people control their profiles directly and everyday are reducing errors by correcting information themselves. Otherwise I agree with the comments of David about the differences between Google and Google Scholar. Perhaps some journal editors should understand that academic journals are websites as well. The relevance of documents set for a especific query is essential for an academic search engine succesful. Mixing information retrieval systems and science metrics gives this interesting scene, in which the contribution of Jose Luis is of much interest. enrique On Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 10:26 AM, Jose Luis Ortega wrote: > Adminstrative info for SIGMETRICS (for example unsubscribe): > http://web.utk.edu/~gwhitney/sigmetrics.html > > Dear Jeroen, > > Thank you for starting the book reading.

The only thing those two (Google and Google Scholar) really differ on is how to extract links from digital documents, but that is a trivial distinction. In fact, Google's search engine is famous for showing that citation analysis (applied to web links as citations) is an extremely effective IR (and, as Stephen Bensman points out, knowledge representation) paradigm.

We attempt to answer two questions. First, what fraction of the top-cited articles are published in non-elite journals and how has this changed over time. Second, what fraction of the total citations are to non-elite journals and how has this changed over time. We studied citations to articles published in 1995-2013. We computed the 10 most-cited journals and the 1000 most-cited articles each year for all 261 subject categories in Scholar Metrics. We marked the 10 most-cited journals in a category as the elite journals for the category and the rest as non-elite. There are two conclusions from our study. First, the fraction of top-cited articles published in non-elite journals increased steadily over 1995-2013. While the elite journals still publish a substantial fraction of high-impact articles, many more authors of well-regarded papers in diverse research fields are choosing other venues. The number of top-1000 papers published in non-elite journals for the representative subject category went from 149 in 1995 to 245 in 2013, a growth of 64%. Looking at broad research areas, 4 out of 9 areas saw at least one-third of the top-cited articles published in non-elite journals in 2013. For 6 out of 9 areas, the fraction of top-cited papers published in non-elite journals for the representative subject category grew by 45% or more. Second, now that finding and reading relevant articles in non-elite journals is about as easy as finding and reading articles in elite journals, researchers are increasingly building on and citing work published everywhere. Considering citations to all articles, the percentage of citations to articles in non-elite journals went from 27% in 1995 to 47% in 2013. Six out of nine broad areas had at least 50% of citations going to articles published in non-elite journals in 2013.

Do we know what fraction of these components have been analogized in GS? Conversely does GS do anything that G does not? For example articles have dates but web pages perhaps do not. The central G algorithm weights a link based on the authority of the site doing the linking. Does GS do this with citations? Does being cited by a paper which itself has more citations make a difference? Also, GS has a powerful more-like-this capability but I do not know if it uses it in search.

It includes all six critical conditions for a natural, effective, verifiable and successful policy: 1. Author freedom of choice of journal is preserved. 2. Author may choose Green OA self-archiving or Gold OA publishing 3. Final refereed draft must be deposited in institutional repository immediately upon acceptance for publication 4. Funding is contingent on immediate deposit 5. Publisher embargo on making the immediate-deposit OA not to exceed 12 months 6. Repository should have the copy-request Button so author can provide individual access during embargo The critical conditions are excerpted below: DBT/DST Open Access Policy Grantees can make their papers open-access by publishing in an open-access journal or, if they choose to publish in a subscription journal, by posting the final accepted manuscript to an online repository. What should be deposited? The final accepted manuscript (after refereeing, revision, etc.) Where to deposit? The manuscript should be deposited in the grantee?s own institution?s interoperable institutional repository (IR). If the institution does not yet have an IR of its own, then the paper should be deposited in the central repository, which will be created by *DBT/DST.* When to deposit? Deposits should be made within one week of acceptance by the journal. However, if the journal insists on an embargo, the material should still be deposited, but the repository will keep the deposited papers non-OA and only make it fully OA at the end of the embargo period. Suggest that the period of embargo not be greater than one year. Articles under an embargo can still be made available to individuals by use of the Request Button available with the IR software. By use of the Request Button, a reader may automatically send a request for a copy to the author, as is commonly done by other communication means. Who should deposit? The principal investigator (PI) or someone authorized by the PI, or anyone authorized by the head of the institution where the work is carried out (such as the librarian), can deposit the papers. Both the PI and the head of the institution will be responsible for timely deposit of the paper. Depositing in a repository is mandatory Unless the deposit ID is quoted in the project report as well as in future proposals for funding, the proposals will not be considered. The DBT/DST recommend/s that all authors receiving funds from DBT/DST should, at the time of returning the copyright transfer form, inform the publisher that they would retain the right to place the full-text of the final author version in the institution?s IR and DBT/DST Central. This can be achieved by attaching to the copyright transfer agreement the DBT/DST author addendum.

Garfield laid out the main premise of the Google search engine in an article he published in Science in 1955 on citation indexing. It is an accelerating revolution that now is reaching warp speed. The main reason Google delivers more relevant sets than Microsoft is that it semantically works by links and not words. This enables it to take advantage of the power-law linkage structure of the WWW to zero in on the most important and relevant documents. I wish to hell that arXiv would finally post our working paper, where we prove all this with economics Nobelists. Then I can vet our theories.

(Jeroen) Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2014 4:41 PM To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines Stephen, Thanks for your insightful elaboration. The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this! By the way, I am not saying that MAS does a better job in this respect and I am a fan of Google Scholar. Best, Jeroen Bosman @jeroenbosman Op 9 okt. 2014 om 22:27 heeft "Stephen J Bensman" > het volgende geschreven: Jeroen Here is summary of what I think that we are involved in with academic search engines: "Academic search engines are an extremely complex topic, since we are now engaged in an information revolution on the same scale as the invention of the printing press in the 15th century and the scientific journal in the 17th century, except what was accomplished took centuries then, and we will do it in a decade or so now. One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web." Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system-number of word tokens in given document-that was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else. This took less than 10 years. The Chinese have a curse about living in interesting times, and our times are sure interesting in this sense.

I already downloaded the book and started reading. Hoewever I do not applaud the fact that MAS is coming to a standstill. I think it offers some very nice options and even unique things (ASAIK) such as the citation contexts. I also do not understand why it is necessary to have a single standard in order to be able to assess how the WWW revolutionizes the scholarly information system. Stephen, could you elaborate on why you think that is necassary? Could that assessment not include various parallel lines of development of these systems? And perhaps we already need an addendum to the book with today's news of the launch of Paperity.

On the relationship between MAS and Bing, I can say that MAS is a completly different develeopment. MAS was born in Microsoft Asia from a before beta engine, Libra. The ranking algorithm of this engine is PopRank (Nie et al, 2005), an adaptation of PageRank. The difference is that PopRank takes into acount not only the incoming links or citations to a document but also the authors, keywords, journals and organizations that are connected to that document. Thus, a paper written by a highly cited author, from a impacted journal and from a prestigious organization is better ranked. This reference explains in detail the algorithm.

The models provided by Google and Microsoft were completely different. Google has won. But MAS provided better functionalities, robustness, etc. The model followed by two companies in the creation of researcher profiles maybe was the key in the downgrade of MAS. In Google, people control their profiles directly and everyday are reducing errors by correcting information themselves. Otherwise I agree with the comments of David about the differences between Google and Google Scholar. Perhaps some journal editors should understand that academic journals are websites as well. The relevance of documents set for a especific query is essential for an academic search engine succesful. Mixing information retrieval systems and science metrics gives this interesting scene, in which the contribution of Jose Luis is of much interest. enrique On Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 10:26 AM, Jose Luis Ortega > wrote: Adminstrative info for SIGMETRICS (for example unsubscribe): http://web.utk.edu/~gwhitney/sigmetrics.html Dear Jeroen, Thank you for starting the book reading. I am completly agree with your according to the retrieval problems of GS, concretly the ranking algorithm. This is proper for general web pages but not entirely for research documents. It gives excesive weight to citations and less to word matching, this causes that the first documents are alway old papers with a lot of citations but irrelevant to the query. This is a interesting point because we talk too much on research evaluation, citations, h-index, etc. in search engines but we forget the main utility of these services: retrievering information. And this facet, I think, shows several and important gaps in every academic search engine. On MAS updating, I consider that MAS is in a standstill because its last updating was in 2012. This is a serious problem because their data are so old that make impossible to be informed on the new scientific results. Regards Jos? Luis Ortega Cybermetrics Lab Gesendet: Donnerstag, 09.

The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this! By the way, I am not saying that MAS does a better job in this respect and I am a fan of Google Scholar.

And of course I already purchased a copy of Ortega's book :) As regards Microsoft Academic Search, and PoP software, we must take into account that MAS is completely outdated. This issue is detected by Ortega in his book. Moreover it was published by EC3 Research group by means of a working paper few months ago. A more in-depth analysis has been performed, which has been recently accepted for publication, where we study this drop of coverage according to disciplines, universities and journals. Therefore, MAS cannot be used now for quantitative purposes. Additionally, the MAS API does not work properly with queries that return hit count estimates surpassing 1,000 results. And we can add finally all sometimes unknown legal considerations in the reuse of Bing results due to Microsoft copyright. Finally, some official voices from Microsoft announced that MAS results will be integrated into Bing results, in an ongoing processs. As regards Google Scholar, as Isidro said, "site" command may be used both in Google and Google Scholar. But be carefull, because search commands are changing in Scholar. For example the combination of "site" and "filetype" stopped working. In any case, site command in Google and Bing sometimes get us unexpected results in terms of coverage.

I screwed up in posting in it on arXiv, and it may take a while to correct my stupidity of submitting the damn thing multiple times, because I did not know what I was doing. You have already answered one of my questions. The former Yahoo research engine was based upon AltVista, which defined documentary sets by words. It was this system that Page tested and rejected as delivering incoherent, irrelevant sets. Instead Page incorporated Garfield's theory of citation indexing, which defines relevant sets by linkages. He strengthened this by also incorporating Narin's influential method. Doing this delivered clearer more relevant sets than AltVista. Multiple linkages are better at semantically defining sets that multiple token words. If your book presents these facts, then I can strangle Microsoft Academic in its cradle, as Churchill once said of a certain political system that now seems to have come back into vogue. I hope to get the book and hear from Jose.

Sorry, I am not the author of the book. it was written by my collaborator and friend Jos? Luis Ortega, also in this forum, so you can expect an answer from him soon. But, I can give a few hints to some of your questions. Bing is using the technology of the former Yahoo search engine. I do not know exactly the way Bing works but my feeling is they are using visits as main criteria. Probably there are far more variables involved, but number of visits play a similar role to links in Google`s PageRank. Of course, it is also possible links are also taken into account. Microsoft Academic Search is a completely different animal. Really it is a traditional bibliographic database, but I must recognize that although they are using h-index, I am unable to understand the rankings they publish. To my knowledge, MAS and Bing are completely independent products. On the contrary, Google and Google Scholar are closely interlinked. Regarding web indicators I use number of webpages under different levels of web addresses, like for example number of webpages in the webservers of your university site:lsu.edu This syntax is valid for Google, Bing and even Google Scholar.

The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this! By the way, I am not saying that MAS does a better job in this respect and I am a fan of Google Scholar.

One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web.? Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system?number of word tokens in given document?that was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else. This took less than 10 years. The Chinese have a curse about living in interesting times, and our times are sure interesting in this sense.

And of course I already purchased a copy of Ortega's book :) As regards Microsoft Academic Search, and PoP software, we must take into account that MAS is completely outdated. This issue is detected by Ortega in his book. Moreover it was published by EC3 Research group by means of a working paper few months ago. A more in-depth analysis has been performed, which has been recently accepted for publication, where we study this drop of coverage according to disciplines, universities and journals. Therefore, MAS cannot be used now for quantitative purposes. Additionally, the MAS API does not work properly with queries that return hit count estimates surpassing 1,000 results. And we can add finally all sometimes unknown legal considerations in the reuse of Bing results due to Microsoft copyright. Finally, some official voices from Microsoft announced that MAS results will be integrated into Bing results, in an ongoing processs. As regards Google Scholar, as Isidro said, "site" command may be used both in Google and Google Scholar. But be carefull, because search commands are changing in Scholar. For example the combination of "site" and "filetype" stopped working. In any case, site command in Google and Bing sometimes get us unexpected results in terms of coverage.

He strengthened this by also incorporating Narin's influential method. Doing this delivered clearer more relevant sets than AltVista. Multiple linkages are better at semantically defining sets that multiple token words.

Sorry, I am not the author of the book. it was written by my collaborator and friend Jos? Luis Ortega, also in this forum, so you can expect an answer from him soon. But, I can give a few hints to some of your questions. Bing is using the technology of the former Yahoo search engine. I do not know exactly the way Bing works but my feeling is they are using visits as main criteria. Probably there are far more variables involved, but number of visits play a similar role to links in Google`s PageRank. Of course, it is also possible links are also taken into account. Microsoft Academic Search is a completely different animal. Really it is a traditional bibliographic database, but I must recognize that although they are using h-index, I am unable to understand the rankings they publish. To my knowledge, MAS and Bing are completely independent products. On the contrary, Google and Google Scholar are closely interlinked. Regarding web indicators I use number of webpages under different levels of web addresses, like for example number of webpages in the webservers of your university site:lsu.edu This syntax is valid for Google, Bing and even Google Scholar.

Bensman (Submitted on 13 Dec 2013) Abstract: This paper presents a test of the validity of using Google Scholar to evaluate the publications of researchers by comparing the premises on which its search engine, PageRank, is based, to those of Garfield's theory of citation indexing. It finds that the premises are identical and that PageRank and Garfield's theory of citation indexing validate each other. Subjects: Information Retrieval (cs.IR); Digital Libraries (cs.DL); Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph) Cite as: arXiv:1312.3872 [cs.IR] (or arXiv:1312.3872v1 [cs.IR] for this version) You will see that Garfield?s theory of citation indexing is based upon the premise that subject sets are better defined by links than by words. This is the same bases on which the Google search engine operates. Our new paper is entitled ?POWER-LAW DISTRIBUTIONS, THE H-INDEX, AND GOOGLE SCHOLAR (GS) CITATIONS: A TEST OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ECONOMICS NOBELISTS,? and here is its abstract: ?This paper comprises an analysis of whether Google Scholar (GS) can construct documentary sets relevant for the evaluation of the works of researchers. The researchers analyzed were two samples of Nobelists in economics: an original sample of five laureates downloaded in September, 2011; and a validating sample of laureates downloaded in October, 2013. Two methods were utilized to conduct this analysis. The first is distributional. Here it is shown that the distributions of the laureates? works by total GS citations belong within the Lotkaian or power-law domain, whose major characteristic is asymptote or ?tail? to the right. It also proves that this asymptote is conterminous with the laureates? h-indexes, which demarcate their core ?uvre. This overlap is proof of both the ability of GS to form relevant documentary sets and the validity of the h-index. The second method is semantic. This method shows that the extreme outliers at the right tip of the tail?a signature feature of the economists? distributions?are not random events but related by subject to contributions to the discipline for which the laureates were awarded this prize. Another interesting finding is the important role played by working papers in the dissemination of new economic knowledge.? This is what I mean by semantic?the works with the highest GS cites were on topics and contributions for which the laureates were awarded the prize. Semantically that is dead on. When this paper is finally posted on arXiv, I would appreciate it, if you would vet it, before we submit to a journal with dictatorial referees.

Aguillo Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2014 9:07 AM To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines Dear Stephen, Ooops! Sorry, I am not the author of the book. it was written by my collaborator and friend Jos? Luis Ortega, also in this forum, so you can expect an answer from him soon. But, I can give a few hints to some of your questions. Bing is using the technology of the former Yahoo search engine. I do not know exactly the way Bing works but my feeling is they are using visits as main criteria. Probably there are far more variables involved, but number of visits play a similar role to links in Google`s PageRank. Of course, it is also possible links are also taken into account. Microsoft Academic Search is a completely different animal. Really it is a traditional bibliographic database, but I must recognize that although they are using h-index, I am unable to understand the rankings they publish. To my knowledge, MAS and Bing are completely independent products. On the contrary, Google and Google Scholar are closely interlinked. Regarding web indicators I use number of webpages under different levels of web addresses, like for example number of webpages in the webservers of your university site:lsu.edu This syntax is valid for Google, Bing and even Google Scholar.

I am having LSU Libraries buy a copy of it, so you have sold at least one. I hope that you have discussed the differences between how the Google and Microsoft search engines operate. I understand how PageRank operates, but I do not understand how Bing operates. All I know is that you obtain much better results with Google than with Microsoft, which seems to be quite new. I have tested them both. > > For your information, Harzing has now interfaced her PoP program with Microsoft Academic as well as Google Scholar. Now you can really run comparative tests between Google and Microsoft. You seem to get better results with her PoP than with the Microsoft Academic site itself. At least her rankings are much better, although it is quite obvious from her program that Microsoft coverage is much weaker. > > As a matter of curiosity, what metric did you use to measure the quantitative aspects? You cannot use standard bibliographic classifications such as number of books, journals, journal articles, working papers, etc. etc., because I do not think that either Google or Microsoft can identify these. The Web has no authority structure whatever. You are not dealing with OCLC WorldCat. It must be something like megabytes of data or something like that. > > We are finishing a paper on how Google Scholar operates.

No one given a manuscript would ever| |try to replicate the results." | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Dear Dowman: Many articles which the putative physicist Jan Hendrik Schoen contributed to were subjected to retractions because physicists who were attempting to do impossible things which Schoen fraudulently boasted he performed have been unable to replicate what Jan Hendrik Schoen has dishonestly claimed to have accomplished. Note that when replication is performed, it might not be performed for its own sake, but instead merely as steps towards another advance progressing past what is being replicated. More than one physical principle is used for various types of for example altimeter, and measuring altitude by a ruler or by trigonometry or by air pressure. Measurements of a single property by different techniques can be considered to be a form of replication. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |" It could take months of full time work, and is | |simply an unreasonable burden on the reviewer." | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| It could take less time or more time depending on what is being replicated. It would not be an unreasonable burden if the refereeing was being paid for with an amount of money comparable to the original research. Publishers charge a lot of money without earning it. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |" Science would just stop." | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| I disagree. Would you like to take a drug which happens to be lethal instead of the mistaken claim that it is a medicine because no laboratory was paid to confirm or refute the original article? |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |"The purpose of peer-review (and yes, I use that term in the sense of an | |expert reading and evaluating a manuscript for publication, as this is the | |common vernacular in my field) is not to ensure that the results are | |correct." | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Even today publishers refer to refereeing as quality control. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |"[. . .] | | | |[. . .] | |[. . .] I don't read a journal article as gospel, but | |rather as a document where I cast the onus on the authors to convince me of | |something. Often I'm not convinced. There are entire little subfields that, | |in my opinion, are founded on flawed assumptions, and therefore the | |conclusions reached are dubious. I recognise that that is just my opinion, | |and I don't begrudge them (too much) for the work they do, because I realise| |that I may be wrong." | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Perhaps you are not mistaken. Perhaps you should type papers about these possibly flawed assumptions and possibly dubious conclusions. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |"As for the issue of fraud, peer review is not the place to catch it, unless| |it is rather inartfully done. How can say that an observation wasn't made?" | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Measurements should be made available antecedently before typescripts utilizing them are submitted. Physicists are lagging behind inventors of medicines from this point of view. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |"How can I say that the result of a detailed calculation is wrong?" | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| By checking it! (Too many papers skip steps of derivations.) |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |" I'm not | |going to do it myself." | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| That is your choice, but you might be more inclined to check it if you ran software such as an automated theorem prover or a computer algebra system. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |" As a reviewer, I can point out the objections and | |concerns of a expert, perhaps many that the authors had yet to consider, but| |at the end of the day, it is their contribution to the conversation. If they| |have something interesting to say, can explain it in a reasonable way, and | |are sufficiently familiar with the state of field to discuss it | |intelligently, who am I to say they are wrong?" | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| You are a fellow scientist. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |" That is for the community to | |decide. And, in my opinion, that is how science should work. | | | |Best regards, | | | |Dowman" | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| We suffer from incorrect informational cascades that way.

I quote: "Eugene Garfield is the creator of citation indexing. In his landmark book on the subject Garfield (1983) gave the following conceptual definition of citation indexing: The concept of citation indexing is simple?. Citations are the formal, explicit linkages between papers that have particular points in common. A citation index is built around these linkages. It lists publications that have been cited and identifies the sources of the citations. Anyone conducting a literature search can find from one to dozens of additional papers on a subject just by knowing one that has been cited. And every paper that is found provides a list of new citations with which to continue the search. (p. 1) In an article entitled "Citation Indexes for Science" published in the journal Science Garfield (1955) set forth the basic reasons for developing a citation index. Later in life Garfield (1987a) deemed this article "my most important paper" (p. 16). In his Science article Garfield (1955) stated that a primary advantage of a citation index over conventional alphabetical and subject indexes was that its different construction allowed it to bring together material that would never be collated by the usual subject indexing. Garfield here described a citation index as "an association-of-ideas index" (p. 108) that allowed the reader as much leeway as he needed. In his opinion, conventional indexes were inadequate, because scientists were often concerned with a particular idea rather than a complete concept, and the basic problem was to build subject indexes that can anticipate the infinite number of possible approaches that scientists may require in order to bridge the gap between the subject approach of those who create the documents and the subject approach of those who seek the information. Garfield stated that the utility of a citation index had to be considered from the viewpoint of the transmission of ideas. Thus, Garfield justified citation indexing as better able to deliver a set of relevant documents in response to a scientist?s search query." Thus, citations and hyperlinks connect ideas to form relevant document sets. Semantics is the science of meaning, and, if this is not semantics, then what is. We found that the economists' papers highest in GS cites were precisely the ones for which they were awarded the prize. In other words, GS had defined the economists perfectly by subject. Respectfully, SB PS arXiv still has our article on hold. Ironically they think that it should possibly have a different classification. Hoisted on own petard. What a joke. ________________________________ From: ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Metrics on behalf of David Wojick Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 4:38 PM To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines Your paper is 42 pages long.

Bensman (Submitted on 13 Dec 2013) Abstract: This paper presents a test of the validity of using Google Scholar to evaluate the publications of researchers by comparing the premises on which its search engine, PageRank, is based, to those of Garfield's theory of citation indexing. It finds that the premises are identical and that PageRank and Garfield's theory of citation indexing validate each other. Subjects: Information Retrieval (cs.IR); Digital Libraries (cs.DL); Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph) Cite as: arXiv:1312.3872 [cs.IR] (or arXiv:1312.3872v1 [cs.IR] for this version) You will see that Garfield?s theory of citation indexing is based upon the premise that subject sets are better defined by links than by words. This is the same bases on which the Google search engine operates. Our new paper is entitled ?POWER-LAW DISTRIBUTIONS, THE H-INDEX, AND GOOGLE SCHOLAR (GS) CITATIONS: A TEST OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ECONOMICS NOBELISTS,? and here is its abstract: ?This paper comprises an analysis of whether Google Scholar (GS) can construct documentary sets relevant for the evaluation of the works of researchers. The researchers analyzed were two samples of Nobelists in economics: an original sample of five laureates downloaded in September, 2011; and a validating sample of laureates downloaded in October, 2013. Two methods were utilized to conduct this analysis. The first is distributional. Here it is shown that the distributions of the laureates? works by total GS citations belong within the Lotkaian or power-law domain, whose major characteristic is asymptote or ?tail? to the right. It also proves that this asymptote is conterminous with the laureates? h-indexes, which demarcate their core ?uvre. This overlap is proof of both the ability of GS to form relevant documentary sets and the validity of the h-index. The second method is semantic. This method shows that the extreme outliers at the right tip of the tail?a signature feature of the economists? distributions?are not random events but related by subject to contributions to the discipline for which the laureates were awarded this prize. Another interesting finding is the important role played by working papers in the dissemination of new economic knowledge.? This is what I mean by semantic?the works with the highest GS cites were on topics and contributions for which the laureates were awarded the prize. Semantically that is dead on. When this paper is finally posted on arXiv, I would appreciate it, if you would vet it, before we submit to a journal with dictatorial referees.

But do you mean by that it "works semantically by links" that it takes citations into account for its hybrid ranking? That is a fact and something MAS does as well. Or are you suggesting that GS also looks at links pointing to the web pages of the articles? The latter would be new(s) for me. One of the differences between G and GS is btw that G has years ago stopped interpreting each space as a Boolean AND, but GS still does, as far as I can tell.

Garfield laid out the main premise of the Google search engine in an article he published in Science in 1955 on citation indexing. It is an accelerating revolution that now is reaching warp speed. The main reason Google delivers more relevant sets than Microsoft is that it semantically works by links and not words. This enables it to take advantage of the power-law linkage structure of the WWW to zero in on the most important and relevant documents. I wish to hell that arXiv would finally post our working paper, where we prove all this with economics Nobelists. Then I can vet our theories.

(Jeroen) Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2014 4:41 PM To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines Stephen, Thanks for your insightful elaboration. The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this! By the way, I am not saying that MAS does a better job in this respect and I am a fan of Google Scholar. Best, Jeroen Bosman @jeroenbosman Op 9 okt. 2014 om 22:27 heeft "Stephen J Bensman" > het volgende geschreven: Jeroen Here is summary of what I think that we are involved in with academic search engines: ?Academic search engines are an extremely complex topic, since we are now engaged in an information revolution on the same scale as the invention of the printing press in the 15th century and the scientific journal in the 17th century, except what was accomplished took centuries then, and we will do it in a decade or so now. One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web.? Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system?number of word tokens in given document?that was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else. This took less than 10 years. The Chinese have a curse about living in interesting times, and our times are sure interesting in this sense.

I already downloaded the book and started reading. Hoewever I do not applaud the fact that MAS is coming to a standstill. I think it offers some very nice options and even unique things (ASAIK) such as the citation contexts. I also do not understand why it is necessary to have a single standard in order to be able to assess how the WWW revolutionizes the scholarly information system. Stephen, could you elaborate on why you think that is necassary? Could that assessment not include various parallel lines of development of these systems? And perhaps we already need an addendum to the book with today's news of the launch of Paperity.

At least MAS no longer needs to be taken into account, and we can focus on Google Scholar. If we are going to make assessments on how the WWW is revolutionizing the scientific/scholarly information system, we have to have a single standard, and that is Google. The problems are complex enough without the need to compare competitive systems.

And of course I already purchased a copy of Ortega's book :) As regards Microsoft Academic Search, and PoP software, we must take into account that MAS is completely outdated. This issue is detected by Ortega in his book. Moreover it was published by EC3 Research group by means of a working paper few months ago. A more in-depth analysis has been performed, which has been recently accepted for publication, where we study this drop of coverage according to disciplines, universities and journals. Therefore, MAS cannot be used now for quantitative purposes. Additionally, the MAS API does not work properly with queries that return hit count estimates surpassing 1,000 results. And we can add finally all sometimes unknown legal considerations in the reuse of Bing results due to Microsoft copyright. Finally, some official voices from Microsoft announced that MAS results will be integrated into Bing results, in an ongoing processs. As regards Google Scholar, as Isidro said, "site" command may be used both in Google and Google Scholar. But be carefull, because search commands are changing in Scholar. For example the combination of "site" and "filetype" stopped working. In any case, site command in Google and Bing sometimes get us unexpected results in terms of coverage.

He and I are already in close contact on these matters. I definitely want you two to vet the paper we have done. It should be ready soon. I screwed up in posting in it on arXiv, and it may take a while to correct my stupidity of submitting the damn thing multiple times, because I did not know what I was doing. You have already answered one of my questions. The former Yahoo research engine was based upon AltVista, which defined documentary sets by words. It was this system that Page tested and rejected as delivering incoherent, irrelevant sets. Instead Page incorporated Garfield's theory of citation indexing, which defines relevant sets by linkages. He strengthened this by also incorporating Narin's influential method. Doing this delivered clearer more relevant sets than AltVista. Multiple linkages are better at semantically defining sets that multiple token words. If your book presents these facts, then I can strangle Microsoft Academic in its cradle, as Churchill once said of a certain political system that now seems to have come back into vogue. I hope to get the book and hear from Jose.

Sorry, I am not the author of the book. it was written by my collaborator and friend Jos? Luis Ortega, also in this forum, so you can expect an answer from him soon. But, I can give a few hints to some of your questions. Bing is using the technology of the former Yahoo search engine. I do not know exactly the way Bing works but my feeling is they are using visits as main criteria. Probably there are far more variables involved, but number of visits play a similar role to links in Google`s PageRank. Of course, it is also possible links are also taken into account. Microsoft Academic Search is a completely different animal. Really it is a traditional bibliographic database, but I must recognize that although they are using h-index, I am unable to understand the rankings they publish. To my knowledge, MAS and Bing are completely independent products. On the contrary, Google and Google Scholar are closely interlinked. Regarding web indicators I use number of webpages under different levels of web addresses, like for example number of webpages in the webservers of your university site:lsu.edu This syntax is valid for Google, Bing and even Google Scholar.

The science of the relations between propositions is logic, not semantics. For example, many years ago I discovered a basic way in which the sentences in a document, or a group of documents on a given topic, are related. I called it the issue tree. This structure is a logical form, not semantic. For example, one sentence may offer evidence for a claim made by another sentence. Or it may provide an example (as this sentence does) or an explanation, etc. These are not semantic relations. The same is true for citations and other referential links. The meaning of the relation is not like the meaning of a word, rather it is a relation between whole thoughts. In fact a lot of what is called the semantic web is not semantic, rather it is propositional, hence a matter of logic. There is much confusion about this.

The researchers analyzed were two samples of Nobelists in economics: an original sample of five laureates downloaded in September, 2011; and a validating sample of laureates downloaded in October, 2013. Two methods were utilized to conduct this analysis. The first is distributional. Here it is shown that the distributions of the laureates? works by total GS citations belong within the Lotkaian or power-law domain, whose major characteristic is asymptote or ?tail? to the right. It also proves that this asymptote is conterminous with the laureates? h-indexes, which demarcate their core ?uvre. This overlap is proof of both the ability of GS to form relevant documentary sets and the validity of the h-index. The second method is semantic. This method shows that the extreme outliers at the right tip of the tail?a signature feature of the economists? distributions?are not random events but related by subject to contributions to the discipline for which the laureates were awarded this prize. Another interesting finding is the important role played by working papers in the dissemination of new economic knowledge.? >> This is what I mean by semantic?the works with the highest GS cites were on topics and contributions for which the laureates were awarded the prize.

The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. >> >> On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this!

One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web.? >> >> Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system?number of word tokens in given document?that was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else. This took less than 10 years.

Doing this delivered clearer more relevant sets than AltVista. Multiple linkages are better at semantically defining sets that multiple token words.

I am posting the URL for an example below: http://davidamerland.com/google-semantic-search.html Google is trying to make its program more "semantically" capable. The basic premise is that citations/hyperlinks link similar ideas and therefore construct relevant subject sets. The contribution of Francis Narin is discussed on pp. 16-18 of that article. Here it is shown the cites from documents with many inlinks themselves create sets that more accord with human judgment. Page built this concept into Google. Garfield solved it by restricting coverage only to the most highly cited journals. All these people are helped by the fact that citations/hyperlinks follow power-law distributions, and Google consciously takes this into account, whereas others do not. Kleinberg points this out. Google does a good job in creating order out of the chaos of the WWW, where there is no authority structure to guide you. It is really a wonder. What am I particularly interested to learn from Jose is how does Microsoft operate. It is a failure. If I can better understand its operation, I can better understand why Google works so well.

Bensman (Submitted on 13 Dec 2013) Abstract: This paper presents a test of the validity of using Google Scholar to evaluate the publications of researchers by comparing the premises on which its search engine, PageRank, is based, to those of Garfield's theory of citation indexing. It finds that the premises are identical and that PageRank and Garfield's theory of citation indexing validate each other. Subjects: Information Retrieval (cs.IR); Digital Libraries (cs.DL); Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph) Cite as: arXiv:1312.3872 [cs.IR] (or arXiv:1312.3872v1 [cs.IR] for this version) You will see that Garfield?s theory of citation indexing is based upon the premise that subject sets are better defined by links than by words. This is the same bases on which the Google search engine operates. Our new paper is entitled ?POWER-LAW DISTRIBUTIONS, THE H-INDEX, AND GOOGLE SCHOLAR (GS) CITATIONS: A TEST OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ECONOMICS NOBELISTS,? and here is its abstract: ?This paper comprises an analysis of whether Google Scholar (GS) can construct documentary sets relevant for the evaluation of the works of researchers. The researchers analyzed were two samples of Nobelists in economics: an original sample of five laureates downloaded in September, 2011; and a validating sample of laureates downloaded in October, 2013. Two methods were utilized to conduct this analysis. The first is distributional. Here it is shown that the distributions of the laureates? works by total GS citations belong within the Lotkaian or power-law domain, whose major characteristic is asymptote or ?tail? to the right. It also proves that this asymptote is conterminous with the laureates? h-indexes, which demarcate their core ?uvre. This overlap is proof of both the ability of GS to form relevant documentary sets and the validity of the h-index. The second method is semantic. This method shows that the extreme outliers at the right tip of the tail?a signature feature of the economists? distributions?are not random events but related by subject to contributions to the discipline for which the laureates were awarded this prize. Another interesting finding is the important role played by working papers in the dissemination of new economic knowledge.? This is what I mean by semantic?the works with the highest GS cites were on topics and contributions for which the laureates were awarded the prize. Semantically that is dead on. When this paper is finally posted on arXiv, I would appreciate it, if you would vet it, before we submit to a journal with dictatorial referees.

Garfield laid out the main premise of the Google search engine in an article he published in Science in 1955 on citation indexing. It is an accelerating revolution that now is reaching warp speed. The main reason Google delivers more relevant sets than Microsoft is that it semantically works by links and not words. This enables it to take advantage of the power-law linkage structure of the WWW to zero in on the most important and relevant documents.

The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this! By the way, I am not saying that MAS does a better job in this respect and I am a fan of Google Scholar. Best, Jeroen Bosman @jeroenbosman Op 9 okt. 2014 om 22:27 heeft "Stephen J Bensman" <notsjb at LSU.EDU> het volgende geschreven: ml Jeroen Here is summary of what I think that we are involved in with academic search engines: ?Academic search engines are an extremely complex topic, since we are now engaged in an information revolution on the same scale as the invention of the printing press in the 15th century and the scientific journal in the 17th century, except what was accomplished took centuries then, and we will do it in a decade or so now. One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web.? Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system?number of word tokens in given document?that was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else. This took less than 10 years. The Chinese have a curse about living in interesting times, and our times are sure interesting in this sense.

And of course I already purchased a copy of Ortega's book :) As regards Microsoft Academic Search, and PoP software, we must take into account that MAS is completely outdated. This issue is detected by Ortega in his book. Moreover it was published by EC3 Research group by means of a working paper few months ago. A more in-depth analysis has been performed, which has been recently accepted for publication, where we study this drop of coverage according to disciplines, universities and journals. Therefore, MAS cannot be used now for quantitative purposes. Additionally, the MAS API does not work properly with queries that return hit count estimates surpassing 1,000 results. And we can add finally all sometimes unknown legal considerations in the reuse of Bing results due to Microsoft copyright. Finally, some official voices from Microsoft announced that MAS results will be integrated into Bing results, in an ongoing processs. As regards Google Scholar, as Isidro said, "site" command may be used both in Google and Google Scholar. But be carefull, because search commands are changing in Scholar. For example the combination of "site" and "filetype" stopped working. In any case, site command in Google and Bing sometimes get us unexpected results in terms of coverage.

I screwed up in posting in it on arXiv, and it may take a while to correct my stupidity of submitting the damn thing multiple times, because I did not know what I was doing. You have already answered one of my questions. The former Yahoo research engine was based upon AltVista, which defined documentary sets by words. It was this system that Page tested and rejected as delivering incoherent, irrelevant sets. Instead Page incorporated Garfield's theory of citation indexing, which defines relevant sets by linkages. He strengthened this by also incorporating Narin's influential method. Doing this delivered clearer more relevant sets than AltVista. Multiple linkages are better at semantically defining sets that multiple token words. If your book presents these facts, then I can strangle Microsoft Academic in its cradle, as Churchill once said of a certain political system that now seems to have come back into vogue.

Sorry, I am not the author of the book. it was written by my collaborator and friend Jos? Luis Ortega, also in this forum, so you can expect an answer from him soon. But, I can give a few hints to some of your questions. Bing is using the technology of the former Yahoo search engine. I do not know exactly the way Bing works but my feeling is they are using visits as main criteria. Probably there are far more variables involved, but number of visits play a similar role to links in Google`s PageRank. Of course, it is also possible links are also taken into account. Microsoft Academic Search is a completely different animal. Really it is a traditional bibliographic database, but I must recognize that although they are using h-index, I am unable to understand the rankings they publish. To my knowledge, MAS and Bing are completely independent products. On the contrary, Google and Google Scholar are closely interlinked. Regarding web indicators I use number of webpages under different levels of web addresses, like for example number of webpages in the webservers of your university site:lsu.edu This syntax is valid for Google, Bing and even Google Scholar.

For instance, when you search for a phrase containing "java," are you talking about coffee, an island, or a programming language?" http://google.about.com/od/s/g/semantic_search.htm Finding other words or phrases is indeed a semantic effort. A thesaurus is good here. So is term vector similarity, for that matter, because it looks at all the words in the document. There is a lot of semantics in search technology. But the nature of the relations presented in links and citations is logical, not semantic.

Here it is shown the cites from documents with many inlinks themselves create sets that more accord with human judgment. Page built this concept into Google. Garfield solved it by restricting coverage only to the most highly cited journals. All these people are helped by the fact that citations/hyperlinks follow power-law distributions, and Google consciously takes this into account, whereas others do not. Kleinberg points this out.

Garfield here described a citation index as "an association-of-ideas index" (p. 108) that allowed the reader as much leeway as he needed. In his opinion, conventional indexes were inadequate, because scientists were often concerned with a particular idea rather than a complete concept, and the basic problem was to build subject indexes that can anticipate the infinite number of possible approaches that scientists may require in order to bridge the gap between the subject approach of those who create the documents and the subject approach of those who seek the information.

So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non.

One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web.? >>> >>> Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system?number of word tokens in given document?that was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else.

URL: From dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US Sat Oct 11 14:22:34 2014 From: dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US (David Wojick) Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2014 14:22:34 -0400 Subject: A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines In-Reply-To: <80303036-A98E-43B5-8FD3-D82B14C5A998@craigellachie.us> Message-ID: Just to elaborate (because I have done a lot of work on the logic of citation) consider the simple case where a paper uses a single number and cites another paper as the source of that number. The logic of the citation is "I got this number here" or perhaps "I got this number here and I accept their results" or some such. One of the deep problems with citation is that the logic of the citation is often quite vague. That is, just what a citation is saying is not always clear. But in no case is this citation relation semantic in nature. It is part of the reasoning presented in the citing paper, which makes it subject to logical analysis, not just semantic analysis. I hope this helps. The logic of citation is an interesting field.

This is nonsense. We should stick with Garfield--a citation or hyperlink indicates an association of ideas. The rest is statistics and probability. You can call it logic or semantics whatever you want--but the links define sets relevant to the query. That is what we are after. I do not know why it works but it does. Page justified it by stating that the higher number of citations or links, the more it indicates consensus of human judgment. Therefore, it is a measure of what is in the human mind. We found that a large number of GS cites was consistent with the judgment of the Nobel committees that selected these guys. Page was right. It works. Case closed. What was surprising was Krugman. He is best known as a New York Times op-ed writer, but his high cited items were academic works and one working paper on his work on economic geography. That a fine distinction because the conservatives hate him and are always lambasting him in the press. There was a theory that the Europeans gave him the prize because he hated George Bush. No, GS indicates that his prize was for his academic work and not his political fulminations. I wish that arXiv would just classify the damn thing any way it wants. I classified it as "Computer Science--Information Retrieval" but there is more to it than just that. A lot of probability analysis.

The logic of the citation is "I got this number here" or perhaps "I got this number here and I accept their results" or some such. One of the deep problems with citation is that the logic of the citation is often quite vague. That is, just what a citation is saying is not always clear. But in no case is this citation relation semantic in nature. It is part of the reasoning presented in the citing paper, which makes it subject to logical analysis, not just semantic analysis. I hope this helps. The logic of citation is an interesting field.

I am posting the URL for an example below: http://davidamerland.com/google-semantic-search.html Google is trying to make its program more "semantically" capable. The basic premise is that citations/hyperlinks link similar ideas and therefore construct relevant subject sets. The contribution of Francis Narin is discussed on pp. 16-18 of that article. Here it is shown the cites from documents with many inlinks themselves create sets that more accord with human judgment. Page built this concept into Google. Garfield solved it by restricting coverage only to the most highly cited journals. All these people are helped by the fact that citations/hyperlinks follow power-law distributions, and Google consciously takes this into account, whereas others do not. Kleinberg points this out. Google does a good job in creating order out of the chaos of the WWW, where there is no authority structure to guide you. It is really a wonder. What am I particularly interested to learn from Jose is how does Microsoft operate. It is a failure. If I can better understand its operation, I can better understand why Google works so well.

The science of the relations between propositions is logic, not semantics. For example, many years ago I discovered a basic way in which the sentences in a document, or a group of documents on a given topic, are related. I called it the issue tree. This structure is a logical form, not semantic. For example, one sentence may offer evidence for a claim made by another sentence. Or it may provide an example (as this sentence does) or an explanation, etc. These are not semantic relations. The same is true for citations and other referential links. The meaning of the relation is not like the meaning of a word, rather it is a relation between whole thoughts. In fact a lot of what is called the semantic web is not semantic, rather it is propositional, hence a matter of logic. There is much confusion about this. David On Oct 11, 2014, at 6:38 AM, Stephen J Bensman > wrote: David, It is in the first paragraph, where I discuss Garfield's concept of citation indexing. I quote: "Eugene Garfield is the creator of citation indexing. In his landmark book on the subject Garfield (1983) gave the following conceptual definition of citation indexing: The concept of citation indexing is simple?. Citations are the foormal, explicit linkages between papers that have particular points in common. A citation index is built around these linkages. It lists publications that have been cited and identifies the sources of the citations. Anyone conducting a literature search can find from one to dozens of additional papers on a subject just by knowing one that has been cited. And every paper that is found provides a list of new citations with which to continue the search. (p. 1) In an article entitled "Citation Indexes for Science" published in the journal Science Garfield (1955) set forth the basic reasons for developing a citation index. Later in life Garfield (1987a) deemed this article "my most important paper" (p. 16). In his Science article Garfield (1955) stated that a primary advantage of a citation index over conventional alphabetical and subject indexes was that its different construction allowed it to bring together material that would never be collated by the usual subject indexing. Garfield here described a citation index as "an association-of-ideas index" (p. 108) that allowed the reader as much leeway as he needed. In his opinion, conventional indexes were inadequate, because scientists were often concerned with a particular idea rather than a complete concept, and the basic problem was to build subject indexes that can anticipate the infinite number of possible approaches that scientists may require in order to bridge the gap between the subject approach of those who create the documents and the subject approach of those who seek the information. Garfield stated that the utility of a citation index had to be considered from the viewpoint of the transmission of ideas. Thus, Garfield justified citation indexing as better able to deliver a set of relevant documents in response to a scientist???s search query." Thus, citations and hyperlinks connect ideas to form relevant document sets. Semantics is the science of meaning, and, if this is not semantics, then what is. We found that the economists' papers highest in GS cites were precisely the ones for which they were awarded the prize. In other words, GS had defined the economists perfectly by subject. Respectfully, SB PS arXiv still has our article on hold. Ironically they think that it should possibly have a different classification. Hoisted on own petard. What a joke. ________________________________ From: ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Metrics < SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU> on behalf of David Wojick > Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 4:38 PM To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines Your paper is 42 pages long.

Bensman (Submitted on 13 Dec 2013) Abstract: This paper presents a test of the validity of using Google Scholar to evaluate the publications of researchers by comparing the premises on which its search engine, PageRank, is based, to those of Garfield's theory of citation indexing. It finds that the premises are identical and that PageRank and Garfield's theory of citation indexing validate each other. Subjects: Information Retrieval (cs.IR); Digital Libraries (cs.DL); Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph) Cite as: arXiv:1312.3872 [cs.IR] (or arXiv:1312.3872v1 [cs.IR] for this version) You will see that Garfield???s theory of citation indexing is based upon the premise that subject sets are better defined by links than by words. This is the same bases on which the Google search engine operates. Our new paper is entitled ???POWER-LAW DISTRIBUTIONS, THE H-INDEX, AND GOOGLE SCHOLAR (GS) CITATIONS: A TEST OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ECONOMICS NOBELISTS,??? and here is its abstract: ???This paper comprises an analysis of whether Google Scholar (GS) can construct documentary sets relevant for the evaluation of the works of researchers. The researchers analyzed were two samples of Nobelists in economics: an original sample of five laureates downloaded in September, 2011; and a validating sample of laureates downloaded in October, 2013. Two methods were utilized to conduct this analysis. The first is distributional. Here it is shown that the distributions of the laureates??? works by total GS citations belong within the Lotkaian or power-law domain, whose major characteristic is asymptote or ???tail??? to the right. It also proves that this asymptote is conterminous with the laureates??? h-indexes, which demarcate their core ?uvre. This overlap is proof of both the ability of GS to form relevant documentary sets and the validity of the h-index. The second method is semantic. This method shows that the extreme outliers at the right tip of the tail?a siignature feature of the economists??? distributions?are not random events but related by subject to contributions to the discipline for which the laureates were awarded this prize. Another interesting finding is the important role played by working papers in the dissemination of new economic knowledge.??? This is what I mean by semantic?the works with the highest GS cites wwere on topics and contributions for which the laureates were awarded the prize. Semantically that is dead on. When this paper is finally posted on arXiv, I would appreciate it, if you would vet it, before we submit to a journal with dictatorial referees.

Or are you suggesting that GS also looks at links pointing to the web pages of the articles? The latter would be new(s) for me. One of the differences between G and GS is btw that G has years ago stopped interpreting each space as a Boolean AND, but GS still does, as far as I can tell.

Garfield laid out the main premise of the Google search engine in an article he published in Science in 1955 on citation indexing. It is an accelerating revolution that now is reaching warp speed. The main reason Google delivers more relevant sets than Microsoft is that it semantically works by links and not words. This enables it to take advantage of the power-law linkage structure of the WWW to zero in on the most important and relevant documents. I wish to hell that arXiv would finally post our working paper, where we prove all this with economics Nobelists. Then I can vet our theories. Respectfully, Stephen J Bensman, Ph.D LSU Libraries Lousiana State University Baton Rouge, LA 70803 PS I am a historian by training, and there is nothing that is outdated for me. Older, highly cited stuff is of the greatest interest, for we may be looking at the influence of time and the degree of incorporation. From: ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Metrics [ mailto:SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU] On Behalf Of Bosman, J.M. (Jeroen) Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2014 4:41 PM To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines ml Stephen, Thanks for your insightful elaboration. The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this! By the way, I am not saying that MAS does a better job in this respect and I am a fan of Google Scholar. Best, Jeroen Bosman @jeroenbosman Op 9 okt. 2014 om 22:27 heeft "Stephen J Bensman" <notsjb at LSU.EDU> het volgende geschreven: ml Jeroen Here is summary of what I think that we are involved in with academic search engines: ???Academic search engines are an extremely complex topic, since we are now engaged in an information revolution on the same scale as the invention of the printing press in the 15th century and the scientific journal in the 17th century, except what was accomplished took centuries then, and we will do it in a decade or so now. One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web.??? Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system?number of word tokens in given document?that t was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets.

And of course I already purchased a copy of Ortega's book :) As regards Microsoft Academic Search, and PoP software, we must take into account that MAS is completely outdated. This issue is detected by Ortega in his book. Moreover it was published by EC3 Research group by means of a working paper few months ago. A more in-depth analysis has been performed, which has been recently accepted for publication, where we study this drop of coverage according to disciplines, universities and journals. Therefore, MAS cannot be used now for quantitative purposes. Additionally, the MAS API does not work properly with queries that return hit count estimates surpassing 1,000 results. And we can add finally all sometimes unknown legal considerations in the reuse of Bing results due to Microsoft copyright. Finally, some official voices from Microsoft announced that MAS results will be integrated into Bing results, in an ongoing processs. As regards Google Scholar, as Isidro said, "site" command may be used both in Google and Google Scholar. But be carefull, because search commands are changing in Scholar. For example the combination of "site" and "filetype" stopped working. In any case, site command in Google and Bing sometimes get us unexpected results in terms of coverage.

You have already answered one of my questions. The former Yahoo research engine was based upon AltVista, which defined documentary sets by words. It was this system that Page tested and rejected as delivering incoherent, irrelevant sets. Instead Page incorporated Garfield's theory of citation indexing, which defines relevant sets by linkages. He strengthened this by also incorporating Narin's influential method. Doing this delivered clearer more relevant sets than AltVista. Multiple linkages are better at semantically defining sets that multiple token words. If your book presents these facts, then I can strangle Microsoft Academic in its cradle, as Churchill once said of a certain political system that now seems to have come back into vogue.

Sorry, I am not the author of the book. it was written by my collaborator and friend Jos?? Luis Ortega, also in this forum, so you can expect an answer from him soon. But, I can give a few hints to some of your questions. Bing is using the technology of the former Yahoo search engine. I do not know exactly the way Bing works but my feeling is they are using visits as main criteria. Probably there are far more variables involved, but number of visits play a similar role to links in Google`s PageRank. Of course, it is also possible links are also taken into account. Microsoft Academic Search is a completely different animal. Really it is a traditional bibliographic database, but I must recognize that although they are using h-index, I am unable to understand the rankings they publish. To my knowledge, MAS and Bing are completely independent products. On the contrary, Google and Google Scholar are closely interlinked. Regarding web indicators I use number of webpages under different levels of web addresses, like for example number of webpages in the webservers of your university site:lsu.edu This syntax is valid for Google, Bing and even Google Scholar.

This is nonsense. We should stick with Garfield--a citation or hyperlink indicates an association of ideas. The rest is statistics and probability. You can call it logic or semantics whatever you want--but the links define sets relevant to the query. That is what we are after. I do not know why it works but it does. Page justified it by stating that the higher number of citations or links, the more it indicates consensus of human judgment. Therefore, it is a measure of what is in the human mind. We found that a large number of GS cites was consistent with the judgment of the Nobel committees that selected these guys. Page was right. It works. Case closed. What was surprising was Krugman. He is best known as a New York Times op-ed writer, but his high cited items were academic works and one working paper on his work on economic geography. That a fine distinction because the conservatives hate him and are always lambasting him in the press. There was a theory that the Europeans gave him the prize because he hated George Bush. No, GS indicates that his prize was for his academic work and not his political fulminations. > > > > I wish that arXiv would just classify the damn thing any way it wants.

The logic of the citation is "I got this number here" or perhaps "I got this number here and I accept their results" or some such. One of the deep problems with citation is that the logic of the citation is often quite vague. That is, just what a citation is saying is not always clear. But in no case is this citation relation semantic in nature. It is part of the reasoning presented in the citing paper, which makes it subject to logical analysis, not just semantic analysis. > > I hope this helps.

Later in life Garfield (1987a) deemed this article "my most important paper" (p. 16). In his Science article Garfield (1955) stated that a primary advantage of a citation index over conventional alphabetical and subject indexes was that its different construction allowed it to bring together material that would never be collated by the usual subject indexing. Garfield here described a citation index as "an association-of-ideas index" (p. 108) that allowed the reader as much leeway as he needed. In his opinion, conventional indexes were inadequate, because scientists were often concerned with a particular idea rather than a complete concept, and the basic problem was to build subject indexes that can anticipate the infinite number of possible approaches that scientists may require in order to bridge the gap between the subject approach of those who create the documents and the subject approach of those who seek the information. Garfield stated that the utility of a citation index had to be considered from the viewpoint of the transmission of ideas.

The researchers analyzed were two samples of Nobelists in economics: an original sample of five laureates downloaded in September, 2011; and a validating sample of laureates downloaded in October, 2013. Two methods were utilized to conduct this analysis. The first is distributional. Here it is shown that the distributions of the laureates??? works by total GS citations belong within the Lotkaian or power-law domain, whose major characteristic is asymptote or ???tail??? to the right. It also proves that this asymptote is conterminous with the laureates??? h-indexes, which demarcate their core ?uvre. This overlap is proof of both the ability of GS to form relevant documentary sets and the validity of the h-index. The second method is semantic. This method shows that the extreme outliers at the right tip of the tail?a siignature feature of the economists??? distributions?are not random events but related by subject to contributions to the discipline for which the laureates were awarded this prize.

The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non.

One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages.

They clear things up for me. It is interesting to note here that the scholarly search engine that provides better guidance in understanding the nature/logic of the citation is MAS, by at least providing some citation context. The chance of a paper to receive a citation is determined by dozens of factors. These factors may be grouped into those having to do with awareness of the existence of papers and those having to do with evaluation of the value of a papers. Though I have not researched this, from experience I think that at least in social science papers related to a paper because they are similar (in terms of word occurance) are at least as interesting as papers that are related because they are linked to it by citations. Now Googe Scholar does a good job in determining papers that show similarity to your query in terms of word occurence, and does that in a smart way. But actually I wish they would diminish the effect of citations in their ranking of the results. As it currently is I get overwhelmed with books and classics. It also strengthens the Matthew effect too much in my opinion. But first I will have to read your paper now!

The logic of the citation is "I got this number here" or perhaps "I got this number here and I accept their results" or some such. One of the deep problems with citation is that the logic of the citation is often quite vague. That is, just what a citation is saying is not always clear. But in no case is this citation relation semantic in nature. It is part of the reasoning presented in the citing paper, which makes it subject to logical analysis, not just semantic analysis. I hope this helps. The logic of citation is an interesting field.

I am posting the URL for an example below: http://davidamerland.com/google-semantic-search.html Google is trying to make its program more "semantically" capable. The basic premise is that citations/hyperlinks link similar ideas and therefore construct relevant subject sets. The contribution of Francis Narin is discussed on pp. 16-18 of that article. Here it is shown the cites from documents with many inlinks themselves create sets that more accord with human judgment. Page built this concept into Google. Garfield solved it by restricting coverage only to the most highly cited journals. All these people are helped by the fact that citations/hyperlinks follow power-law distributions, and Google consciously takes this into account, whereas others do not. Kleinberg points this out. Google does a good job in creating order out of the chaos of the WWW, where there is no authority structure to guide you. It is really a wonder. What am I particularly interested to learn from Jose is how does Microsoft operate. It is a failure. If I can better understand its operation, I can better understand why Google works so well.

The science of the relations between propositions is logic, not semantics. For example, many years ago I discovered a basic way in which the sentences in a document, or a group of documents on a given topic, are related. I called it the issue tree. This structure is a logical form, not semantic. For example, one sentence may offer evidence for a claim made by another sentence. Or it may provide an example (as this sentence does) or an explanation, etc. These are not semantic relations. The same is true for citations and other referential links. The meaning of the relation is not like the meaning of a word, rather it is a relation between whole thoughts. In fact a lot of what is called the semantic web is not semantic, rather it is propositional, hence a matter of logic. There is much confusion about this. David On Oct 11, 2014, at 6:38 AM, Stephen J Bensman > wrote: David, It is in the first paragraph, where I discuss Garfield's concept of citation indexing. I quote: "Eugene Garfield is the creator of citation indexing. In his landmark book on the subject Garfield (1983) gave the following conceptual definition of citation indexing: The concept of citation indexing is simple?. Citations are the foormal, explicit linkages between papers that have particular points in common. A citation index is built around these linkages. It lists publications that have been cited and identifies the sources of the citations. Anyone conducting a literature search can find from one to dozens of additional papers on a subject just by knowing one that has been cited. And every paper that is found provides a list of new citations with which to continue the search. (p. 1) In an article entitled "Citation Indexes for Science" published in the journal Science Garfield (1955) set forth the basic reasons for developing a citation index. Later in life Garfield (1987a) deemed this article "my most important paper" (p. 16). In his Science article Garfield (1955) stated that a primary advantage of a citation index over conventional alphabetical and subject indexes was that its different construction allowed it to bring together material that would never be collated by the usual subject indexing. Garfield here described a citation index as "an association-of-ideas index" (p. 108) that allowed the reader as much leeway as he needed. In his opinion, conventional indexes were inadequate, because scientists were often concerned with a particular idea rather than a complete concept, and the basic problem was to build subject indexes that can anticipate the infinite number of possible approaches that scientists may require in order to bridge the gap between the subject approach of those who create the documents and the subject approach of those who seek the information. Garfield stated that the utility of a citation index had to be considered from the viewpoint of the transmission of ideas. Thus, Garfield justified citation indexing as better able to deliver a set of relevant documents in response to a scientist???s search query." Thus, citations and hyperlinks connect ideas to form relevant document sets. Semantics is the science of meaning, and, if this is not semantics, then what is. We found that the economists' papers highest in GS cites were precisely the ones for which they were awarded the prize. In other words, GS had defined the economists perfectly by subject. Respectfully, SB PS arXiv still has our article on hold. Ironically they think that it should possibly have a different classification. Hoisted on own petard. What a joke. ________________________________ From: ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Metrics < SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU> on behalf of David Wojick > Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 4:38 PM To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines Your paper is 42 pages long.

Bensman (Submitted on 13 Dec 2013) Abstract: This paper presents a test of the validity of using Google Scholar to evaluate the publications of researchers by comparing the premises on which its search engine, PageRank, is based, to those of Garfield's theory of citation indexing. It finds that the premises are identical and that PageRank and Garfield's theory of citation indexing validate each other. Subjects: Information Retrieval (cs.IR); Digital Libraries (cs.DL); Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph) Cite as: arXiv:1312.3872 [cs.IR] (or arXiv:1312.3872v1 [cs.IR] for this version) You will see that Garfield???s theory of citation indexing is based upon the premise that subject sets are better defined by links than by words. This is the same bases on which the Google search engine operates. Our new paper is entitled ???POWER-LAW DISTRIBUTIONS, THE H-INDEX, AND GOOGLE SCHOLAR (GS) CITATIONS: A TEST OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ECONOMICS NOBELISTS,??? and here is its abstract: ???This paper comprises an analysis of whether Google Scholar (GS) can construct documentary sets relevant for the evaluation of the works of researchers. The researchers analyzed were two samples of Nobelists in economics: an original sample of five laureates downloaded in September, 2011; and a validating sample of laureates downloaded in October, 2013. Two methods were utilized to conduct this analysis. The first is distributional. Here it is shown that the distributions of the laureates??? works by total GS citations belong within the Lotkaian or power-law domain, whose major characteristic is asymptote or ???tail??? to the right. It also proves that this asymptote is conterminous with the laureates??? h-indexes, which demarcate their core ?uvre. This overlap is proof of both the ability of GS to form relevant documentary sets and the validity of the h-index. The second method is semantic. This method shows that the extreme outliers at the right tip of the tail?a siignature feature of the economists??? distributions?are not random events but related by subject to contributions to the discipline for which the laureates were awarded this prize. Another interesting finding is the important role played by working papers in the dissemination of new economic knowledge.??? This is what I mean by semantic?the works with the highest GS cites wwere on topics and contributions for which the laureates were awarded the prize. Semantically that is dead on.

Garfield laid out the main premise of the Google search engine in an article he published in Science in 1955 on citation indexing. It is an accelerating revolution that now is reaching warp speed. The main reason Google delivers more relevant sets than Microsoft is that it semantically works by links and not words. This enables it to take advantage of the power-law linkage structure of the WWW to zero in on the most important and relevant documents.

The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this! By the way, I am not saying that MAS does a better job in this respect and I am a fan of Google Scholar.

One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web.??? Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system?number of word tokens in given document?that t was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else. This took less than 10 years. The Chinese have a curse about living in interesting times, and our times are sure interesting in this sense.

I will stick with idea-association and semantics. Librarians will only become confused about hair-splitting between semantics and logical propositions. I know that I am. To really understand how Google Scholar works, you should really read the section on Jon M. Kleinberg of my arXiv article about Garfield, Narin, and PageRank. Then read the stuff by Kleinberg on his Clever project and his collaboration with Page, who was developing Google at the time. Here you will find a clear exposition of the Google search engine and the structure of the Web. He writes in terminology and at a level that you will like. Page always kept his cards close to his chest, but Kleinberg had him figured out. It is always interesting to me that Page never cited the sources--Garfield, Narin, etc.--from where he was taking his ideas in his working and conference papers on the development of Google. He only laid his cards down on the table in his patent application for his search engine. It is there that he was honest about his sources and clear about his ideas, because he was ready to close the deal and make it his commercial property. He was after the buck and not academic fame like Kleinberg. Respectfully, Stephen J. Bensman ________________________________ From: ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Metrics on behalf of Bosman, J.M.

They clear things up for me. It is interesting to note here that the scholarly search engine that provides better guidance in understanding the nature/logic of the citation is MAS, by at least providing some citation context. The chance of a paper to receive a citation is determined by dozens of factors. These factors may be grouped into those having to do with awareness of the existence of papers and those having to do with evaluation of the value of a papers. Though I have not researched this, from experience I think that at least in social science papers related to a paper because they are similar (in terms of word occurance) are at least as interesting as papers that are related because they are linked to it by citations. Now Googe Scholar does a good job in determining papers that show similarity to your query in terms of word occurence, and does that in a smart way. But actually I wish they would diminish the effect of citations in their ranking of the results. As it currently is I get overwhelmed with books and classics. It also strengthens the Matthew effect too much in my opinion. But first I will have to read your paper now!

The logic of the citation is "I got this number here" or perhaps "I got this number here and I accept their results" or some such. One of the deep problems with citation is that the logic of the citation is often quite vague. That is, just what a citation is saying is not always clear. But in no case is this citation relation semantic in nature. It is part of the reasoning presented in the citing paper, which makes it subject to logical analysis, not just semantic analysis. I hope this helps. The logic of citation is an interesting field.

The basic premise is that citations/hyperlinks link similar ideas and therefore construct relevant subject sets. The contribution of Francis Narin is discussed on pp. 16-18 of that article. Here it is shown the cites from documents with many inlinks themselves create sets that more accord with human judgment. Page built this concept into Google. Garfield solved it by restricting coverage only to the most highly cited journals. All these people are helped by the fact that citations/hyperlinks follow power-law distributions, and Google consciously takes this into account, whereas others do not. Kleinberg points this out. Google does a good job in creating order out of the chaos of the WWW, where there is no authority structure to guide you. It is really a wonder.

The science of the relations between propositions is logic, not semantics. For example, many years ago I discovered a basic way in which the sentences in a document, or a group of documents on a given topic, are related. I called it the issue tree. This structure is a logical form, not semantic. For example, one sentence may offer evidence for a claim made by another sentence. Or it may provide an example (as this sentence does) or an explanation, etc. These are not semantic relations. The same is true for citations and other referential links. The meaning of the relation is not like the meaning of a word, rather it is a relation between whole thoughts. In fact a lot of what is called the semantic web is not semantic, rather it is propositional, hence a matter of logic. There is much confusion about this. David On Oct 11, 2014, at 6:38 AM, Stephen J Bensman > wrote: David, It is in the first paragraph, where I discuss Garfield's concept of citation indexing. I quote: "Eugene Garfield is the creator of citation indexing. In his landmark book on the subject Garfield (1983) gave the following conceptual definition of citation indexing: The concept of citation indexing is simple?. Citations are the foormal, explicit linkages between papers that have particular points in common. A citation index is built around these linkages. It lists publications that have been cited and identifies the sources of the citations. Anyone conducting a literature search can find from one to dozens of additional papers on a subject just by knowing one that has been cited. And every paper that is found provides a list of new citations with which to continue the search. (p. 1) In an article entitled "Citation Indexes for Science" published in the journal Science Garfield (1955) set forth the basic reasons for developing a citation index. Later in life Garfield (1987a) deemed this article "my most important paper" (p. 16). In his Science article Garfield (1955) stated that a primary advantage of a citation index over conventional alphabetical and subject indexes was that its different construction allowed it to bring together material that would never be collated by the usual subject indexing. Garfield here described a citation index as "an association-of-ideas index" (p. 108) that allowed the reader as much leeway as he needed. In his opinion, conventional indexes were inadequate, because scientists were often concerned with a particular idea rather than a complete concept, and the basic problem was to build subject indexes that can anticipate the infinite number of possible approaches that scientists may require in order to bridge the gap between the subject approach of those who create the documents and the subject approach of those who seek the information. Garfield stated that the utility of a citation index had to be considered from the viewpoint of the transmission of ideas. Thus, Garfield justified citation indexing as better able to deliver a set of relevant documents in response to a scientist???s search query." Thus, citations and hyperlinks connect ideas to form relevant document sets. Semantics is the science of meaning, and, if this is not semantics, then what is. We found that the economists' papers highest in GS cites were precisely the ones for which they were awarded the prize. In other words, GS had defined the economists perfectly by subject. Respectfully, SB PS arXiv still has our article on hold. Ironically they think that it should possibly have a different classification. Hoisted on own petard. What a joke. ________________________________ From: ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Metrics < SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU> on behalf of David Wojick > Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 4:38 PM To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines Your paper is 42 pages long.

Bensman (Submitted on 13 Dec 2013) Abstract: This paper presents a test of the validity of using Google Scholar to evaluate the publications of researchers by comparing the premises on which its search engine, PageRank, is based, to those of Garfield's theory of citation indexing. It finds that the premises are identical and that PageRank and Garfield's theory of citation indexing validate each other. Subjects: Information Retrieval (cs.IR); Digital Libraries (cs.DL); Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph) Cite as: arXiv:1312.3872 [cs.IR] (or arXiv:1312.3872v1 [cs.IR] for this version) You will see that Garfield???s theory of citation indexing is based upon the premise that subject sets are better defined by links than by words. This is the same bases on which the Google search engine operates. Our new paper is entitled ???POWER-LAW DISTRIBUTIONS, THE H-INDEX, AND GOOGLE SCHOLAR (GS) CITATIONS: A TEST OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ECONOMICS NOBELISTS,??? and here is its abstract: ???This paper comprises an analysis of whether Google Scholar (GS) can construct documentary sets relevant for the evaluation of the works of researchers. The researchers analyzed were two samples of Nobelists in economics: an original sample of five laureates downloaded in September, 2011; and a validating sample of laureates downloaded in October, 2013. Two methods were utilized to conduct this analysis. The first is distributional. Here it is shown that the distributions of the laureates??? works by total GS citations belong within the Lotkaian or power-law domain, whose major characteristic is asymptote or ???tail??? to the right. It also proves that this asymptote is conterminous with the laureates??? h-indexes, which demarcate their core ?uvre. This overlap is proof of both the ability of GS to form relevant documentary sets and the validity of the h-index. The second method is semantic. This method shows that the extreme outliers at the right tip of the tail?a siignature feature of the economists??? distributions?are not random events but related by subject to contributions to the discipline for which the laureates were awarded this prize. Another interesting finding is the important role played by working papers in the dissemination of new economic knowledge.??? This is what I mean by semantic?the works with the highest GS cites wwere on topics and contributions for which the laureates were awarded the prize. Semantically that is dead on.

Or are you suggesting that GS also looks at links pointing to the web pages of the articles? The latter would be new(s) for me.

Garfield laid out the main premise of the Google search engine in an article he published in Science in 1955 on citation indexing. It is an accelerating revolution that now is reaching warp speed. The main reason Google delivers more relevant sets than Microsoft is that it semantically works by links and not words. This enables it to take advantage of the power-law linkage structure of the WWW to zero in on the most important and relevant documents.

The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this! By the way, I am not saying that MAS does a better job in this respect and I am a fan of Google Scholar.

One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web.??? Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system?number of word tokens in given document?that t was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else. This took less than 10 years. The Chinese have a curse about living in interesting times, and our times are sure interesting in this sense.

And of course I already purchased a copy of Ortega's book :) As regards Microsoft Academic Search, and PoP software, we must take into account that MAS is completely outdated. This issue is detected by Ortega in his book. Moreover it was published by EC3 Research group by means of a working paper few months ago. A more in-depth analysis has been performed, which has been recently accepted for publication, where we study this drop of coverage according to disciplines, universities and journals. Therefore, MAS cannot be used now for quantitative purposes. Additionally, the MAS API does not work properly with queries that return hit count estimates surpassing 1,000 results. And we can add finally all sometimes unknown legal considerations in the reuse of Bing results due to Microsoft copyright. Finally, some official voices from Microsoft announced that MAS results will be integrated into Bing results, in an ongoing processs. As regards Google Scholar, as Isidro said, "site" command may be used both in Google and Google Scholar. But be carefull, because search commands are changing in Scholar. For example the combination of "site" and "filetype" stopped working. In any case, site command in Google and Bing sometimes get us unexpected results in terms of coverage.

You have already answered one of my questions. The former Yahoo research engine was based upon AltVista, which defined documentary sets by words. It was this system that Page tested and rejected as delivering incoherent, irrelevant sets. Instead Page incorporated Garfield's theory of citation indexing, which defines relevant sets by linkages. He strengthened this by also incorporating Narin's influential method. Doing this delivered clearer more relevant sets than AltVista. Multiple linkages are better at semantically defining sets that multiple token words. If your book presents these facts, then I can strangle Microsoft Academic in its cradle, as Churchill once said of a certain political system that now seems to have come back into vogue.

However, that math is strictly about network topology, so it involves neither logic nor semantics. Authority of a website is first defined and measured by the number of in-links, then used to weight the out-links, which are other site's in-links. Authority is a system wide attribute, calculated for all sites simultaneously. It is mathematical elegance personified. I followed its development closely. My basic point is that links express content. To link is to make a statement, which can be analyzed.

Then read the stuff by Kleinberg on his Clever project and his collaboration with Page, who was developing Google at the time. Here you will find a clear exposition of the Google search engine and the structure of the Web. He writes in terminology and at a level that you will like. Page always kept his cards close to his chest, but Kleinberg had him figured out. It is always interesting to me that Page never cited the sources--Garfield, Narin, etc.--from where he was taking his ideas in his working and conference papers on the development of Google. He only laid his cards down on the table in his patent application for his search engine. It is there that he was honest about his sources and clear about his ideas, because he was ready to close the deal and make it his commercial property. He was after the buck and not academic fame like Kleinberg. > > > > Respectfully, > > > > Stephen J. Bensman > > > > > > From: ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Metrics on behalf of Bosman, J.M.

The logic of the citation is "I got this number here" or perhaps "I got this number here and I accept their results" or some such. One of the deep problems with citation is that the logic of the citation is often quite vague. That is, just what a citation is saying is not always clear. But in no case is this citation relation semantic in nature. It is part of the reasoning presented in the citing paper, which makes it subject to logical analysis, not just semantic analysis. >> >> I hope this helps.

Here it is shown the cites from documents with many inlinks themselves create sets that more accord with human judgment. Page built this concept into Google. Garfield solved it by restricting coverage only to the most highly cited journals. All these people are helped by the fact that citations/hyperlinks follow power-law distributions, and Google consciously takes this into account, whereas others do not. Kleinberg points this out.

Later in life Garfield (1987a) deemed this article "my most important paper" (p. 16). In his Science article Garfield (1955) stated that a primary advantage of a citation index over conventional alphabetical and subject indexes was that its different construction allowed it to bring together material that would never be collated by the usual subject indexing. Garfield here described a citation index as "an association-of-ideas index" (p. 108) that allowed the reader as much leeway as he needed. In his opinion, conventional indexes were inadequate, because scientists were often concerned with a particular idea rather than a complete concept, and the basic problem was to build subject indexes that can anticipate the infinite number of possible approaches that scientists may require in order to bridge the gap between the subject approach of those who create the documents and the subject approach of those who seek the information. Garfield stated that the utility of a citation index had to be considered from the viewpoint of the transmission of ideas. Thus, Garfield justified citation indexing as better able to deliver a set of relevant documents in response to a scientist???s search query." >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Thus, citations and hyperlinks connect ideas to form relevant document sets.

The researchers analyzed were two samples of Nobelists in economics: an original sample of five laureates downloaded in September, 2011; and a validating sample of laureates downloaded in October, 2013. Two methods were utilized to conduct this analysis. The first is distributional. Here it is shown that the distributions of the laureates??? works by total GS citations belong within the Lotkaian or power-law domain, whose major characteristic is asymptote or ???tail??? to the right. It also proves that this asymptote is conterminous with the laureates??? h-indexes, which demarcate their core ?uvre. This overlap is proof of both the ability of GS to form relevant documentary sets and the validity of the h-index. The second method is semantic. This method shows that the extreme outliers at the right tip of the tail?a siignature feature of the economists??? distributions?are not random events but related by subject to contributions to the discipline for which the laureates were awarded this prize. Another interesting finding is the important role played by working papers in the dissemination of new economic knowledge.??? >>>>>> This is what I mean by semantic?the works with the highest GS cites wwere on topics and contributions for which the laureates were awarded the prize.

So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. >>>>>> >>>>>> On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright.

One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages.

For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else.

Distribution of money over a number of different areas always makes an issue, implicitly or explicitly, of the impact which can be achieved with investment in any one of them. Science is also affected by this governmental interest in impact; the issue is not only the impact of research on research itself, but on other areas of society. Citations are traditionally used to measure the impact of research on research. It is as yet unclear how the impact of research on other areas of society can be measured. It appears that alternative metrics (altmetrics, such as Twitter counts) might play a key role in this. This paper is concerned with the measurement of citation impact and societal impact, and looks at the basis, the effects and the problems of impact measurement.

I do not think that any measure of quality in scientometrics is worth anything unless it correlates with human judgment or peer ratings. Here is where I think that Page had it right. Basically he thought that the higher the number of links, the better the expression of consent of human judgment. Narin really pioneered this aspect of it with his influence method. Page through Kleinberg adopted it. Here is where the power-law structure of the Web comes into play. There seems to be a critical citation point above it is measuring judgmental consent, and below which it is random, irrelevant. This point is the x-min of the asymptote of a power-law distribution. With economists this point was approximately their h-index--why I do not know. But there is no one-size fits all. It does not work that way in math, because the field is so fractured they do not understand each other. Therefore there can never be a broad enough consensus for power-law type distributions.

Bensman. ________________________________ From: ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Metrics on behalf of David Wojick Sent: Sunday, October 12, 2014 8:26 AM To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] [***SPAM***] Re: [SIGMETRICS] A new metrics-related book focused on academic search engines Stephen, I think most librarians can grasp the difference between logic and semantics, especially if they can follow Kleinberg's math. However, that math is strictly about network topology, so it involves neither logic nor semantics. Authority of a website is first defined and measured by the number of in-links, then used to weight the out-links, which are other site's in-links. Authority is a system wide attribute, calculated for all sites simultaneously. It is mathematical elegance personified. I followed its development closely. My basic point is that links express content. To link is to make a statement, which can be analyzed.

To really understand how Google Scholar works, you should really read the section on Jon M. Kleinberg of my arXiv article about Garfield, Narin, and PageRank. Then read the stuff by Kleinberg on his Clever project and his collaboration with Page, who was developing Google at the time. Here you will find a clear exposition of the Google search engine and the structure of the Web. He writes in terminology and at a level that you will like. Page always kept his cards close to his chest, but Kleinberg had him figured out. It is always interesting to me that Page never cited the sources--Garfield, Narin, etc.--from where he was taking his ideas in his working and conference papers on the development of Google. He only laid his cards down on the table in his patent application for his search engine. It is there that he was honest about his sources and clear about his ideas, because he was ready to close the deal and make it his commercial property. He was after the buck and not academic fame like Kleinberg. Respectfully, Stephen J.

They clear things up for me. It is interesting to note here that the scholarly search engine that provides better guidance in understanding the nature/logic of the citation is MAS, by at least providing some citation context. The chance of a paper to receive a citation is determined by dozens of factors. These factors may be grouped into those having to do with awareness of the existence of papers and those having to do with evaluation of the value of a papers. Though I have not researched this, from experience I think that at least in social science papers related to a paper because they are similar (in terms of word occurance) are at least as interesting as papers that are related because they are linked to it by citations. Now Googe Scholar does a good job in determining papers that show similarity to your query in terms of word occurence, and does that in a smart way. But actually I wish they would diminish the effect of citations in their ranking of the results. As it currently is I get overwhelmed with books and classics. It also strengthens the Matthew effect too much in my opinion. But first I will have to read your paper now! Jeroen @jeroenbosman Op 11 okt. 2014 om 20:22 heeft "David Wojick" <dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US> het volgende geschreven: ml Just to elaborate (because I have done a lot of work on the logic of citation) consider the simple case where a paper uses a single number and cites another paper as the source of that number. The logic of the citation is "I got this number here" or perhaps "I got this number here and I accept their results" or some such. One of the deep problems with citation is that the logic of the citation is often quite vague. That is, just what a citation is saying is not always clear. But in no case is this citation relation semantic in nature. It is part of the reasoning presented in the citing paper, which makes it subject to logical analysis, not just semantic analysis. I hope this helps. The logic of citation is an interesting field.

I am posting the URL for an example below: http://davidamerland.com/google-semantic-search.html Google is trying to make its program more "semantically" capable. The basic premise is that citations/hyperlinks link similar ideas and therefore construct relevant subject sets. The contribution of Francis Narin is discussed on pp. 16-18 of that article. Here it is shown the cites from documents with many inlinks themselves create sets that more accord with human judgment. Page built this concept into Google. Garfield solved it by restricting coverage only to the most highly cited journals. All these people are helped by the fact that citations/hyperlinks follow power-law distributions, and Google consciously takes this into account, whereas others do not. Kleinberg points this out. Google does a good job in creating order out of the chaos of the WWW, where there is no authority structure to guide you. It is really a wonder. What am I particularly interested to learn from Jose is how does Microsoft operate. It is a failure. If I can better understand its operation, I can better understand why Google works so well.

The science of the relations between propositions is logic, not semantics. For example, many years ago I discovered a basic way in which the sentences in a document, or a group of documents on a given topic, are related. I called it the issue tree. This structure is a logical form, not semantic. For example, one sentence may offer evidence for a claim made by another sentence. Or it may provide an example (as this sentence does) or an explanation, etc. These are not semantic relations. The same is true for citations and other referential links. The meaning of the relation is not like the meaning of a word, rather it is a relation between whole thoughts. In fact a lot of what is called the semantic web is not semantic, rather it is propositional, hence a matter of logic. There is much confusion about this. David On Oct 11, 2014, at 6:38 AM, Stephen J Bensman <notsjb at LSU.EDU> wrote: ml David, It is in the first paragraph, where I discuss Garfield's concept of citation indexing. I quote: "Eugene Garfield is the creator of citation indexing. In his landmark book on the subject Garfield (1983) gave the following conceptual definition of citation indexing: The concept of citation indexing is simple?. Citations are the foormal, explicit linkages between papers that have particular points in common. A citation index is built around these linkages. It lists publications that have been cited and identifies the sources of the citations. Anyone conducting a literature search can find from one to dozens of additional papers on a subject just by knowing one that has been cited. And every paper that is found provides a list of new citations with which to continue the search. (p. 1) In an article entitled "Citation Indexes for Science" published in the journal Science Garfield (1955) set forth the basic reasons for developing a citation index. Later in life Garfield (1987a) deemed this article "my most important paper" (p. 16). In his Science article Garfield (1955) stated that a primary advantage of a citation index over conventional alphabetical and subject indexes was that its different construction allowed it to bring together material that would never be collated by the usual subject indexing. Garfield here described a citation index as "an association-of-ideas index" (p. 108) that allowed the reader as much leeway as he needed. In his opinion, conventional indexes were inadequate, because scientists were often concerned with a particular idea rather than a complete concept, and the basic problem was to build subject indexes that can anticipate the infinite number of possible approaches that scientists may require in order to bridge the gap between the subject approach of those who create the documents and the subject approach of those who seek the information. Garfield stated that the utility of a citation index had to be considered from the viewpoint of the transmission of ideas. Thus, Garfield justified citation indexing as better able to deliver a set of relevant documents in response to a scientist???s search query." Thus, citations and hyperlinks connect ideas to form relevant document sets. Semantics is the science of meaning, and, if this is not semantics, then what is. We found that the economists' papers highest in GS cites were precisely the ones for which they were awarded the prize. In other words, GS had defined the economists perfectly by subject. Respectfully, SB PS arXiv still has our article on hold. Ironically they think that it should possibly have a different classification. Hoisted on own petard.

Bensman (Submitted on 13 Dec 2013) Abstract: This paper presents a test of the validity of using Google Scholar to evaluate the publications of researchers by comparing the premises on which its search engine, PageRank, is based, to those of Garfield's theory of citation indexing. It finds that the premises are identical and that PageRank and Garfield's theory of citation indexing validate each other. Subjects: Information Retrieval (cs.IR); Digital Libraries (cs.DL); Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph) Cite as: arXiv:1312.3872 [cs.IR] (or arXiv:1312.3872v1 [cs.IR] for this version) You will see that Garfield???s theory of citation indexing is based upon the premise that subject sets are better defined by links than by words. This is the same bases on which the Google search engine operates. Our new paper is entitled ???POWER-LAW DISTRIBUTIONS, THE H-INDEX, AND GOOGLE SCHOLAR (GS) CITATIONS: A TEST OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ECONOMICS NOBELISTS,??? and here is its abstract: ???This paper comprises an analysis of whether Google Scholar (GS) can construct documentary sets relevant for the evaluation of the works of researchers. The researchers analyzed were two samples of Nobelists in economics: an original sample of five laureates downloaded in September, 2011; and a validating sample of laureates downloaded in October, 2013. Two methods were utilized to conduct this analysis. The first is distributional. Here it is shown that the distributions of the laureates??? works by total GS citations belong within the Lotkaian or power-law domain, whose major characteristic is asymptote or ???tail??? to the right. It also proves that this asymptote is conterminous with the laureates??? h-indexes, which demarcate their core ?uvre. This overlap is proof of both the ability of GS to form relevant documentary sets and the validity of the h-index. The second method is semantic. This method shows that the extreme outliers at the right tip of the tail?a siignature feature of the economists??? distributions?are not random events but related by subject to contributions to the discipline for which the laureates were awarded this prize. Another interesting finding is the important role played by working papers in the dissemination of new economic knowledge.??? This is what I mean by semantic?the works with the highest GS cites wwere on topics and contributions for which the laureates were awarded the prize. Semantically that is dead on. When this paper is finally posted on arXiv, I would appreciate it, if you would vet it, before we submit to a journal with dictatorial referees.

The main reason Google delivers more relevant sets than Microsoft is that it semantically works by links and not words.

The ideas stem from about 1935 (Otlet), 1945 (Bush) and 1955 (Garfield), the implementation from the early sixties in SCI, futher ideas in 1976 (Narin) and 1989 (Berners-Lee) and Google elaborated on that in 1996 with PageRank and a hydrid . So I doubt that the revolution takes a just a decade. It already has taken some decades and will take some more decades, for the change is not restricted to discovery but includes distribution as well, just as with the printing press and scholarly journal. So probably the 'revolution' will only be complete when at some point in the future the academic book, journal and paper are replaced by instant production/publication/discovery, for instance in a smart nanopublications type of way? Also I think that for the system to collapse Google Scholar is not a conditio sine qua non. ArXiv (1991) and Citeseer (1998) are way older than GS and together they have revolutionized search and distribution more than GS has done, albeit in a much more restricted field of physics and information science. On a less theoretical note, you say that MAS has been proven wrong and Google Scholar may be wright. But every other day I have to tell my students that in order to get relevant stuff they need to use GS pubyear filters, because if they don't they will end up using highly cited but outdated stuff. Over 95% of my students (>500 each year) had never realised this! By the way, I am not saying that MAS does a better job in this respect and I am a fan of Google Scholar.

One facet of this information revolution is that what was once semantically defined by words is now semantically defined by linkages. On top of it, this information revolution is entwined with a scientific revolution on the power-law distributional structure of nature and society that was launched as a result of the development of the World Wide Web.??? Given the complexity of this thing, we need some sort of standardization, so we can better deal with it. There has to be some sort of agreement on what is right and what is wrong. MAS seems to be based on a system?number of word tokens in given document?that t was proven wrong and ineffective in semantically defining relevant document sets. For me it is very hard to grasp that a Googlebot crawled out of a garage in Palo Alto in 2004, and suddenly an entire system began to collapse and be replaced by something else. This took less than 10 years. The Chinese have a curse about living in interesting times, and our times are sure interesting in this sense.

And of course I already purchased a copy of Ortega's book :) As regards Microsoft Academic Search, and PoP software, we must take into account that MAS is completely outdated. This issue is detected by Ortega in his book. Moreover it was published by EC3 Research group by means of a working paper few months ago. A more in-depth analysis has been performed, which has been recently accepted for publication, where we study this drop of coverage according to disciplines, universities and journals. Therefore, MAS cannot be used now for quantitative purposes. Additionally, the MAS API does not work properly with queries that return hit count estimates surpassing 1,000 results. And we can add finally all sometimes unknown legal considerations in the reuse of Bing results due to Microsoft copyright. Finally, some official voices from Microsoft announced that MAS results will be integrated into Bing results, in an ongoing processs. As regards Google Scholar, as Isidro said, "site" command may be used both in Google and Google Scholar. But be carefull, because search commands are changing in Scholar. For example the combination of "site" and "filetype" stopped working. In any case, site command in Google and Bing sometimes get us unexpected results in terms of coverage.

He and I are already in close contact on these matters. I definitely want you two to vet the paper we have done. It should be ready soon. I screwed up in posting in it on arXiv, and it may take a while to correct my stupidity of submitting the damn thing multiple times, because I did not know what I was doing. You have already answered one of my questions. The former Yahoo research engine was based upon AltVista, which defined documentary sets by words. It was this system that Page tested and rejected as delivering incoherent, irrelevant sets. Instead Page incorporated Garfield's theory of citation indexing, which defines relevant sets by linkages. He strengthened this by also incorporating Narin's influential method. Doing this delivered clearer more relevant sets than AltVista. Multiple linkages are better at semantically defining sets that multiple token words. If your book presents these facts, then I can strangle Microsoft Academic in its cradle, as Churchill once said of a certain political system that now seems to have come back into vogue. I hope to get the book and hear from Jose.

Sorry, I am not the author of the book. it was written by my collaborator and friend Jos?? Luis Ortega, also in this forum, so you can expect an answer from him soon. But, I can give a few hints to some of your questions. Bing is using the technology of the former Yahoo search engine. I do not know exactly the way Bing works but my feeling is they are using visits as main criteria. Probably there are far more variables involved, but number of visits play a similar role to links in Google`s PageRank. Of course, it is also possible links are also taken into account. Microsoft Academic Search is a completely different animal. Really it is a traditional bibliographic database, but I must recognize that although they are using h-index, I am unable to understand the rankings they publish. To my knowledge, MAS and Bing are completely independent products. On the contrary, Google and Google Scholar are closely interlinked. Regarding web indicators I use number of webpages under different levels of web addresses, like for example number of webpages in the webservers of your university site:lsu.edu This syntax is valid for Google, Bing and even Google Scholar.

The MELIBEA Score Message-ID: Estimating Open Access Mandate Effectiveness: I. The MELIBEA Score Philippe Vincent-Lamarre , Jade Boivin , Yassine Gargouri , Vincent Lariviere , Stevan Harnad ABSTRACT: MELIBEA is a Spanish database that uses a composite formula with eight weighted conditions to estimate the effectiveness of Open Access mandates (registered in ROARMAP). We analyzed 68 mandated institutions for publication years 2011-2013 to determine how well the MELIBEA score and its individual conditions predict what percentage of published articles indexed by Web of Knowledge is deposited in each institution's OA repository, and when. We found a small but significant positive correlation (0.18) between MELIBEA score and deposit percentage. We also found that for three of the eight MELIBEA conditions (deposit timing, internal use, and opt-outs), one value of each was strongly associated with deposit percentage or deposit latency (immediate deposit required, deposit required for performance evaluation, unconditional opt-out allowed for the OA requirement but no opt-out for deposit requirement). When we updated the initial values and weights of the MELIBEA formula for mandate effectiveness to reflect the empirical association we had found, the score's predictive power doubled (.36). There are not yet enough OA mandates to test further mandate conditions that might contribute to mandate effectiveness, but these findings already suggest that it would be useful for future mandates to adopt these three conditions so as to maximize their effectiveness, and thereby the growth of OA. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Brad Wray, Lutz Bornmann (Submitted on 13 Oct 2014) We examine the sub-field of philosophy of science using a new method developed in information science, Referenced Publication Years Spectroscopy (RPYS). RPYS allows us to identify peak years in citations in a field, which promises to help scholars identify the key contributions to a field, and revolutionary discoveries in a field. We discovered that philosophy of science, a sub-field in the humanities, differs significantly from other fields examined with this method. Books play a more important role in philosophy of science than in the sciences. Further, Einstein's famous 1905 papers created a citation peak in the philosophy of science literature. But rather than being a contribution to the philosophy of science, their importance lies in the fact that they are revolutionary contributions to physics with important implications for philosophy of science.

Source: EYE & CONTACT LENS-SCIENCE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE, 40 (5):301-304; 10.1097/ICL.0000000000000053 SEP 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Citation analysis, Contact lenses, Impact factor, Journal citation reports, Ophthalmology KeyWords Plus: IMPACT FACTOR; JOURNALS; SCIENCE; PUBLICATION Abstract: Objective: This study aimed at exploring the citation parameters of contact lenses articles published in the Ophthalmology thematic category of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). Methods: The Thompson Reuters Web of Science database was accessed to record bibliometric information and citation parameters of all journals listed under the Ophthalmology area of the 2011 JCR edition, including the journals with main publication interests in the contact lens field. In addition, the same database was used to unveil all contact lens-related articles published in 2011 in the same thematic area, whereupon differences in citation parameters between those articles published in contact lens and non-contact lens-related journals were explored. Results: Significant differences in some bibliometric indicators such as half-life and overall citation count were found between contact lens-related journals (shorter half-life and fewer citations) and the median values for the Ophthalmology thematic area of the JCR. Visual examination of all Ophthalmology journals uncovered a total of 156 contact lens-related articles, published in 28 different journals, with 27 articles each for Contact Lens & Anterior Eye, Eye & Contact Lens, and Optometry and Vision Science. Significant differences in citation parameters were encountered between those articles published in contact lens and non-contact lens source journals. Conclusions: These findings, which disclosed contact lenses to be a fertile area of research, may be of interest to researchers and institutions. Differences in bibliometric indicators are of relevance to avoid unwanted bias when conducting between-and within-discipline comparisons of articles, journals, and researchers.

Therefore, design time system vulnerability estimation is of paramount importance. Architectural Vulnerability Factor (AVF) is an early vulnerability estimation methodology. However, AVF considers that the value of a bit in a clock cycle is either required for Architecturally Correct Execution (i.e. ACE-bit) or not (i.e. unACE-bit); therefore, AVF cannot distinguish the vulnerability impact level of an ACE-bit. In this study, we present a new dimension which takes into account the vulnerability impact level of a bit. We introduce Bit *Impact Factor* metric which, we believe, will be helpful for extending AVF evaluation to provide a more accurate vulnerability analysis. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Source: PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES, 8 (8):10.1371/journal.pntd.0003078 AUG 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA; LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS; INTEGRATED IMPLEMENTATION; WUCHERERIA-BANCROFTI; NATIONAL SCALE; PROGRAMS; HEALTH; IMPACT; COUNTRIES; MALARIA Abstract: Background: Nigeria carries the highest burden and diversity of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in sub-Saharan Africa and is preparing to scale up its efforts to control/eliminate these diseases. To achieve this it will require a range of internal technical support and expertise for mapping, monitoring and evaluating, operational research and documenting its success. In order to begin to evaluate this potential in Nigeria, this study collated and analysed information for lymphatic filariasis (LF), onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths (STH), which are currently being targeted with preventive chemotherapy through mass drug administration (MDA). Methodology/Principal Findings: Information from 299 scientific articles published on the selected NTDs in 179 journals between January 2008 and September 2013 was extracted and systematically compiled into a geo-referenced database for analysis and mapping. The highest number of articles was from the southern geo-political zones of the country. The majority of articles focused on one specific disease, and schistosomiasis and STH were found to have the highest and most wide ranging research output. The main type of study was parasitological, and the least was biotechnological. Nigerian authors were mostly affiliated with universities, and there was a wide range of international co-authors from Africa and other regions, especially the USA and UK. The majority of articles were published in journals with no known *impact factor*. Conclusions/Significance: The extensive database and series of maps on the research capacity within Nigeria produced in this study highlights the current potential that exists, and needs to be fully maximized for the control/elimination of NTDs in the country. This study provides an important model approach that can be applied to other low and middle income countries where NTDs are endemic, and NTD programmes require support from the expertise within their own country, as well as internationally, to help raise their profile and importance.

Many new innovations and discoveries emerge daily. This study aims to identify significant pioneers and milestones in academic research through utilizing bibliometric methods and heterogeneous data, including textbook citations, citations of theses and dissertations, and journal citations. Design/methodology/approach - This study proposes several methods and formulas for recommending Nobel prizes candidates. Through utilizing bibliometric methods and heterogeneous data, including textbook citations, citations of theses and dissertations, and journal article citations, this research facilitates the collection of numerous significant research results. The authors propose several new, useful formulae, including a pioneer paper *impact factor*, a popular classical paper *impact factor*, a ranking factor of specific fields, a groundbreaking author *impact factor*, and a frequently cited author *impact factor*. Findings - This study utilizes historical information on the Nobel Prize to examine, revise, and verify existing methods for recommending and predicting candidates, in order to enhance the accuracy and availability of the approach presented by this study. The experimental results show that the approach designed in this study had a rate of successful prediction exceeding 50 percent. The major reason for producing reasonable results is that the milestone paper and pioneer paper are filtered first, and then the important candidate authors from the most pioneer paper are filtered. Therefore, the results indicated the feasibility of the methods developed by this study. Originality/value - The purpose of the Nobel Prize is to reward original research findings or inventions that significantly and positively influence human life. However, due to budget limitations, only five fields are included in the academic domains for which Nobel prizes are awarded. The authors develop one useful new way to identify milestone papers and authors. Young students can choose, read and learn from these milestone papers. The pioneer authors identified by this research could be the recommended candidate list for some academic awards.

Design/methodology/approach - Aslib Proceedings (AP) is exemplarily analyzed with a set of indicators from five dimensions of journal evaluation, i.e. journal output, content, perception and usage, citations and management to accurately reflect its various strengths and weaknesses beyond the IF. Findings - AP has become more international in terms of authors and more diverse regarding its topics. Citation impact is generally low and, with the exception of a special issue on blogs, remains world average. However, an evaluation of downloads and Mendeley readers reveals that the journal is an important source of information for professionals and students and certain topics are frequently read but not cited. Research limitations/implications - The study is limited to one journal. Practical implications - An overview of various indicators and methods is provided that can be applied in the quantitative evaluation of scholarly journals (and also to articles, authors and institutions). Originality/value - After a publication history of more than 60 years, this analysis takes stock of AP, highlighting strengths and weaknesses and developments over time. The case study provides an example and overview of the possibilities of multidimensional journal evaluation.

In the management information systems (MIS) subject, many related studies conducted surveys as the subjective method for identifying MIS journal rankings. However, very few consider other objective methods, such as journals' impact factors and h-indexes. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach - In this paper, top 50 ranked journals identified by researchers' perceptions are examined in terms of the correlation to the rankings by their impact factors and h-indexes. Moreover, a hybrid method to combine these different rankings based on Borda count is used to produce new MIS journal rankings. Findings - The results show that there are low correlations between the subjective and objective based MIS journal rankings. In addition, the new MIS journal rankings by the Borda count approach can also be considered for future researches. Originality/value - The contribution of this paper is to apply the Borda count approach to combine different MIS journal rankings produced by subjective and objective methods. The new MIS journal rankings and previous studies can be complementary to allow researchers to determine the top-ranked journals for their publication outlets.

Design/methodology/approach - The research data include 8,567 papers and 70,947 cited articles in the IS field indexed by Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index from 2000 to 2009. Author co-citation analysis, author bibliographic-coupling analysis, social network analysis, and factor analysis were combined to explore co-citation and bibliographic-coupling relationships and to identify research groups and subjects. Findings - Scholars with greatest impact are different from the most active scholars of Chinese IS; there is no uniform impact pattern forming since authors' impact subjects are scattered and not steady; while authors' research activities present higher independence and concentration, there is still no steady research pattern due to no deep research existing. Furthermore, Chinese IS studies can be delineated by: foundation or extension. The research subjects of these two parts, as well as their corresponding/contributing authors, are different under different views. The general research status of core authors is concentrated, while their impact is broad. Originality/value - The combined use of some related methods could enrich the development and methodology research of the discipline, and the results establish a reference point on the development of IS research.

In addition, this study aims to quantitatively analyze KM research trends, forecasts, and citations from 1993 to 2012 in Web of Science (WOS). Design/methodology/approach - A total of 12,925 documents related to KM research were collected from following databases: Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science, and Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Social Science & Humanities. These documents were carefully reviewed and subjected to bibliometric data analysis techniques. Findings - A number of research questions pertaining to patterns in scientific outputs, subject categories and major journals, author keywords frequencies, characteristics of the international collaboration, most cited papers and significant papers distribution of KM research were proposed and answered. In addition, there are five research sights on KM research are as follows: management science, computer science, information science, business, and engineering. Based on these findings, many implications emerged that improve one's understanding of the identity of KM as a distinct multi-discipline scientific field. Research limitations/implications - Comprehensiveness and inclusiveness of the analyzed KM-related data set in WOS because of some KM-centric journals are not indexed by Thomson Reuters. Originality/value - The paper offers an overview and evaluation of research activity into the KM viewed through the WOS during 1993-2012.

Source: PROGRAM-ELECTRONIC LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS, 48 (4):355-369; 10.1108/PROG-01-2013-0002 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: India, Digital libraries, Social Network Analysis, Co-authorship networks, Earth science, Research collaborations KeyWords Plus: CO-AUTHORSHIP; SOCIAL NETWORK; COMPLEX NETWORKS; COAUTHORSHIP NETWORKS; KNOWLEDGE; LIBRARY Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to compute and analyze the topological properties of co-authorship network formed between earth scientists in India. As a case study, the authors evaluate bibliographic data of authors who have contributed research articles in the Journal of the Geological Society of India, a premier earth science journal in India. Design/methodology/approach - Research articles totaling 3,903 records from 1970 to 2011 were harvested from the ISI Web of Science SCI database and analyzed using Social Network Analysis. Findings - The author productivity in terms of number of papers published followed Lotka's law with beta = 2.1027. A dense giant component was detected that spanned 73 percent of the network with a density of 0.0017 and clustering coefficient of 0.631, suggesting high level of knowledge diffusion and a rapid flow of information and creativity in this network. Local metrics were calculated using degree, betweenness and closeness centralities. A strong correlation was seen between degree and author productivity (number of works) and betweenness centrality and author productivity, suggesting that author's number of connections and controlling "in-between" position in the network may be providing the authors' with the knowledge and resources to be more productive. Originality/value - The impact of human actions on the earth systems is a hot topic of research in India. This is one of the first works that investigates co-authorship networks of Indian earth science researchers. Addresses: [Kumar, Sameer] Univ Malaya, Asia Europe Inst, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The research questions for the paper are: how extensive is the coverage of papers focussing on policing in East Asia; on which East Asian countries have the papers covered during the 14-year period from 2000 to 2013; what are the topics/primary issues of policing in East Asia covered across the journals; and what are the affiliations represented of authors who have published papers on policing in East Asia. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach - This study is a content analysis of major policing specialty journals listed in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) in terms of the number and focus of studies on East Asian police papers. Data came from 1,123 papers published in three policing journals of Police Quarterly, Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management, and Policing and Society: An International Journal of Research and Policy during the period of 2000-2013. Findings - Only 3.4 percent (n = 38) of the 1,123 articles published in the three journals were on policing issues in East Asia nations. The vast majority (76.3 percent) were published in Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management. Staff issue was the most frequently researched topic. In total, 42 percent of the papers were on South Korean policing issues, followed by 31 percent on Chinese policing topics. Finally, about 45 percent of the papers were written by only US-affiliated authors, 40 percent by authors affiliated with institutions in East Asia, and only 16 percent were written in collaboration between authors associated with USA and East Asian institutions. Originality/value - The main intent of this study is to provide information seekers with a guide to what research on policing in East Asia is being published.

Visits data were also correlated with source (referring web site), and landing pages and page views were grouped by type. Findings - Most local users came to the repository via Auburn University web pages. This group usually landed on the collection home page and used internal navigation pages to find what they needed. Submission page views showed that most ETD depositors were local. Most out-of-state users came to the repository via web search engines. This group usually landed directly on bibliographic information pages for individual ETDs. They used internal navigation pages less frequently than local users. Users located within the state but outside of the local area interacted with the collection in a way that was intermediate between these two groups. Practical implications - Institutions interested in improving repository access for depositors will probably find it helpful to focus on in-state usage reports, while institutions seeking to improve access for end-users should exclude in-state users from their assessments. Originality/value - This is the first detailed examination of ETDs usage published since 2001 and shows how filtering tools available in Google Analytics allow comparisons of user behavior based on location and source (referring web site).

This bibliometric analysis aimed to provide a comprehensive review of the characteristics of the totality of available randomized yoga trials. Methods: All RCTs of yoga were eligible. Medline/PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, IndMED, and the tables of content of yoga specialty journals not listed in medical databases were screened through February 2014. Bibliometric data, data on participants, and intervention were extracted and analyzed descriptively. Results: Published between 1975 and 2014, a total of 366 papers were included, reporting 312 RCTs from 23 different countries with 22,548 participants. The median study sample size was 59 (range 8-410, interquartile range = 31, 93). Two hundred sixty-four RCTs (84.6%) were conducted with adults, 105 (33.7%) with older adults and 31 (9.9%) with children. Eighty-four RCTs (26.9%) were conducted with healthy participants. Other trials enrolled patients with one of 63 varied medical conditions; the most common being breast cancer (17 RCTs, 5.4%), depression (14 RCTs, 4.5%), asthma (14 RCTs, 4.5%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (13 RCTs, 4.2%). Whilst 119 RCTs (38.1%) did not define the style of yoga used, 35 RCTs (11.2%) used Hatha yoga and 30 RCTs (9.6%) yoga breathing. The remaining 128 RCTs (41.0%) used 46 varied yoga styles, with a median intervention length of 9 weeks (range 1 day to 1 year; interquartile range = 5, 12). Two hundred and forty-four RCTs (78.2%) used yoga postures, 232 RCTs (74.4%) used breath control, 153 RCTs (49.0%) used meditation and 32 RCTs (10.3%) used philosophy lectures. One hundred and seventy-four RCTs (55.6%) compared yoga with no specific treatment; 21 varied control interventions were used in the remaining RCTs. Conclusions: This bibliometric analysis presents the most complete up-to-date overview on published randomized yoga trials. While the available research evidence is sparse for most conditions, there was a marked increase in published RCTs in recent years.

Design/methodology/approach - The research data include 8,567 papers and 70,947 cited articles in the IS field indexed by Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index from 2000 to 2009. Author co-citation analysis, author bibliographic-coupling analysis, social network analysis, and factor analysis were combined to explore co-citation and bibliographic-coupling relationships and to identify research groups and subjects. Findings - Scholars with greatest impact are different from the most active scholars of Chinese IS; there is no uniform impact pattern forming since authors' impact subjects are scattered and not steady; while authors' research activities present higher independence and concentration, there is still no steady research pattern due to no deep research existing. Furthermore, Chinese IS studies can be delineated by: foundation or extension. The research subjects of these two parts, as well as their corresponding/contributing authors, are different under different views. The general research status of core authors is concentrated, while their impact is broad. Originality/value - The combined use of some related methods could enrich the development and methodology research of the discipline, and the results establish a reference point on the development of IS research.

Brad Wray, Lutz Bornmann (Submitted on 13 Oct 2014) We examine the sub-field of philosophy of science using a new method developed in information science, Referenced Publication Years Spectroscopy (RPYS). RPYS allows us to identify peak years in citations in a field, which promises to help scholars identify the key contributions to a field, and revolutionary discoveries in a field. We discovered that philosophy of science, a sub-field in the humanities, differs significantly from other fields examined with this method. Books play a more important role in philosophy of science than in the sciences. Further, Einstein's famous 1905 papers created a citation peak in the philosophy of science literature. But rather than being a contribution to the philosophy of science, their importance lies in the fact that they are revolutionary contributions to physics with important implications for philosophy of science.

Message-ID: How variable are the journal impact measures? Aliakbar Haghdoost , Morteza Zare , Azam Bazrafshan , (2014) "How variable are the journal impact measures?", Online Information Review, Vol. 38 Iss: 6, pp.723 - 737 Available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/OIR-05-2014-0102 Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the variability of the impact factor (IF) and additional metrics in biomedical journals to provide some clues to the reliability of journal citation indicators. Design/methodology/approach - Having used ISI Journal Citation Reports, from 2005 to 2011, the authors extracted 62 subject categories related to biomedical sciences. The category lists and citation profile for each journal were then downloaded and extracted. Coefficient of variation was applied to estimate the overall variability of the journal citation indicators. Findings - Total citation indicators for 3,411 journals were extracted and examined. The overall variability of IFs and other journal citation measures in basic, clinical or translational, open access or subscription journals decreased while the quality and prestige of those journals developed. Interestingly, journal citation measures produced dissimilar variability trends and thus highlighted the importance of using multiple instead of just one measure in evaluating the performance and influence of biomedical journals. Eigenfactor(tm), Article's Influence and Cited Half Life proposed as more reliable indicators. Originality/value - The relative variability of the journal citation measures in biomedical journals would decrease with a development in the impact and quality of journals. Eigenfactor(tm) and Cited Half Life are suggested as more reliable measures indicating few changes during the study period and across different impact level journals. These findings will be useful for librarians, researchers and decision makers who need to use citation measures as evaluative tools. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The aim of the present study was to examine whether randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in leading surgery journals report funding sources and COI. All articles reporting randomized controlled phase III trials published January 2005 through December 2010 were chosen for review from ten international journals. We evaluated the number of disclosed funding sources and COI, and the factors associated with such disclosures. >From a review of 657 RCT from the ten journals, we discovered that presence or absence of a funding source and COI was disclosed by 47 % (309) and 25.1 % (165), respectively. Most articles in "International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)-affiliated journals" did not disclose COI. Disclosure of funding was associated with a journal *impact factor* > 3 (51.7 vs 41.6 %; p < 0.01), statistician/epidemiologist involvement (64.2 vs 43.7 %; p < 0.001), publication after 2008 (52.9 vs 41.1 %; p < 0.01), and the journal being ICMJE-affiliated (49.3 vs 40 %; p < 0.05). Conflict of interest disclosure was associated with publication after 2008 (38.7 vs 11.3 %; p < 0.001), and with the journal not being affiliated with ICMJE (36.9 vs 21.3 %; p < 0.001). Of the published studies we investigated, over half did not disclose funding sources (i.e., whether or not there was a funding source), and almost three quarters did not disclose whether COI existed. Our findings suggest the need to adopt best current practices regarding disclosure of competing interests to fulfill responsibilities to readers and, ultimately, to patients.

EBSCO and ABI databases were used to look for articles in the Journal of Citation Reports publications between 1980 and 2011 containing the keywords virtue ethics', virtue theory', or virtuousness' in the abstract and business' or management' in the text. The search was refined to draw lists of the most prolific authors, the most cited authors, the most cited articles, and the journals with the most virtue ethics publications. This information allows one to chart how virtue ethics articles have evolved through the decades and to establish schools' or clusters of authors as well as clusters of themes. The results of this quantitative analysis of authors, schools', themes, and publications provide a foundation for the future study of virtue ethics in business and management, identifying its achievements and potentials.

Source: CIRCULATION RESEARCH, 115 (7):617-624; 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.115.304766 SEP 12 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: bibliometrics, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (US) Abstract: Rationale: We previously demonstrated absence of association between peer-review-derived percentile ranking and raw citation impact in a large cohort of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute cardiovascular R01 grants, but we did not consider pregrant investigator publication productivity. We also did not normalize citation counts for scientific field, type of article, and year of publication. Objective: To determine whether measures of investigator prior productivity predict a grant's subsequent scientific impact as measured by normalized citation metrics. Methods and Results: We identified 1492 investigator-initiated de novo National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute R01 grant applications funded between 2001 and 2008 and linked the publications from these grants to their InCites (Thompson Reuters) citation record. InCites provides a normalized citation count for each publication stratifying by year of publication, type of publication, and field of science. The coprimary end points for this analysis were the normalized citation impact per million dollars allocated and the number of publications per grant that has normalized citation rate in the top decile per million dollars allocated (top 10% articles). Prior productivity measures included the number of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-supported publications each principal investigator published in the 5 years before grant review and the corresponding prior normalized citation impact score. After accounting for potential confounders, there was no association between peer-review percentile ranking and bibliometric end points (all adjusted P>0.5). However, prior productivity was predictive (P<0.0001). Conclusions: Even after normalizing citation counts, we confirmed a lack of association between peer-review grant percentile ranking and grant citation impact. However, prior investigator publication productivity was predictive of grant-specific citation impact.

We scrutinised the five most highly cited clinical trials reporting one or more conclusions of clinical superiority published in Anesthesiology, the British Journal of Anaesthesia, Anaesthesia, Anesthesia and Analgesia and Anaesthesia and Intensive Care in 2011 or 2012 to determine how many met all three requisite criteria. In the 25 articles, there were a total of 36 unconditional conclusions of the superiority of a clinical intervention. All were supported by a statistically significant P value. However, only 15 (41.6%) met all three requisite statistical criteria to support clinical superiority. The remainder included secondary outcomes without specific reference to their observational nature, and primary outcomes whose observed effect size was smaller than the clinically important value specified in the sample size calculation. These findings indicate that clinicians should closely scrutinise conclusions of clinical superiority in anaesthesia journals. Many will be 'hypothesis-generating observations' without adequate statistical support for a conclusion of clinical superiority in their own right. Addresses: [Gibbs, N. M.; Weightman, W.

In this study, a scientometric analysis was performed to identify the patterns, trends and gaps of knowledge for this invasive species. A survey of the published literature was conducted using the database of the Thomson Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). A total of 107 papers were surveyed that were published between 1982 and 2012 in 60 journals. The number of papers on L. fortunei over the years has increased, especially within the last eight years of the study period. Argentina, Brazil, and Japan are the countries that contributed the most papers to the literature on invasive bivalve. The majority of papers were field-observational studies. Among some important gaps that need to be addressed are the relatively small number and/or lack of studies conducted in the native countries and in countries invaded by L. fortunei, the lack of internationally collaborative publications in these countries, as well as a low number of internationally collaborative studies.

A search was conducted in the Virtual Health Library and the LILACS, SciELO and Google Scholar databases using the key words: "matrix support in mental health." Fourteen articles were located with the desired characteristics, which indicates that only a restricted number of publications are in circulation. The articles were analyzed with respect to their structural and methodological aspects, which revealed the absolute predominance of the use of qualitative methods and health professionals as the target research population. The same articles were then analyzed for their theoretical discussions. Among other issues, the importance of matrix support to enhance the primary health care teams provided to people suffering from psychic distress is highlighted. However, there is still considerable confusion regarding the proposal of the matrix support and shared responsibilities between teams of reference and mental health professionals, which emphasizes the need for training of these professionals, as well as better coordination and organization of the mental health care network.

Materials and Methods: Awards, publications, patents and drugs data from National Institute of Health/Natural Science Foundation of China (NIH/NSFC), PubMed, Derwent Innovation Index and Cortellis were collected. Bibliometric methodologies and technology are used to investigate publications/patents/drugs, their contents and relationships. Results: NIH and NSFC respectively demonstrated a stable and sustained expenditure growth in this area. The number of publications is continuously increasing. Yet the annual patent applications worldwide and FDA drug approvals were little changed or not obviously fluctuated in 2003-2013. USA and several Asia-pacific countries/territories are important contributing powers. We described the evolution of major research topics by those MeSH Major Topics indexed in PubMed with the largest growth range in three intervals, and analyzed hot research topics in the recent 10 years which include NPs or NPs derivatives, cell line/animal model, laboratory technologies and activation mechanisms. Conclusions: China published the most publications and received the most patent applications, but drug discovery performance is no better than USA and Japan. Research on anti-neoplastic structures and compounds originated from Chinese traditional medicine (TCM), medicinal plants, herbal medicine and marine NPs are major research topics in the recent 10 years. There still exits translational gap between basic research and drug discovery. Translational research should be undertaken to strengthen the applicability of NPs.

EBSCO and ABI databases were used to look for articles in the Journal of Citation Reports publications between 1980 and 2011 containing the keywords virtue ethics', virtue theory', or virtuousness' in the abstract and business' or management' in the text. The search was refined to draw lists of the most prolific authors, the most cited authors, the most cited articles, and the journals with the most virtue ethics publications. This information allows one to chart how virtue ethics articles have evolved through the decades and to establish schools' or clusters of authors as well as clusters of themes. The results of this quantitative analysis of authors, schools', themes, and publications provide a foundation for the future study of virtue ethics in business and management, identifying its achievements and potentials.

Source: CIRCULATION RESEARCH, 115 (7):617-624; 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.115.304766 SEP 12 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: bibliometrics, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (US) Abstract: Rationale: We previously demonstrated absence of association between peer-review-derived percentile ranking and raw citation impact in a large cohort of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute cardiovascular R01 grants, but we did not consider pregrant investigator publication productivity. We also did not normalize citation counts for scientific field, type of article, and year of publication. Objective: To determine whether measures of investigator prior productivity predict a grant's subsequent scientific impact as measured by normalized citation metrics. Methods and Results: We identified 1492 investigator-initiated de novo National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute R01 grant applications funded between 2001 and 2008 and linked the publications from these grants to their InCites (Thompson Reuters) citation record. InCites provides a normalized citation count for each publication stratifying by year of publication, type of publication, and field of science. The coprimary end points for this analysis were the normalized citation impact per million dollars allocated and the number of publications per grant that has normalized citation rate in the top decile per million dollars allocated (top 10% articles). Prior productivity measures included the number of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-supported publications each principal investigator published in the 5 years before grant review and the corresponding prior normalized citation impact score. After accounting for potential confounders, there was no association between peer-review percentile ranking and bibliometric end points (all adjusted P>0.5). However, prior productivity was predictive (P<0.0001). Conclusions: Even after normalizing citation counts, we confirmed a lack of association between peer-review grant percentile ranking and grant citation impact. However, prior investigator publication productivity was predictive of grant-specific citation impact.

Based on the existing reviews, this study aims to review Chinese hotel research from a different perspective. This is the first study to review publications on Chinese hotel studies which were published in the listed journals of Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). A systematic approach was used to analyze 93 articles, and a large increase in Chinese hotel research was observed in the most recent five years (2009-2013). The findings of the most popular publication channels, as well as those of the most active scholars and institutions in this field, are presented to provide valuable information for academic stakeholders. On the basis of the research foci analysis, the gaps between research and industry were identified, which indicated trends and future research priorities. (c) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The OA movement had its official start in 2002 with the establishment of the Budapest Open Access Initiative. The goal of the OA movement is to remove access barriers, accelerate research, and thereby achieve its broader mission of promoting global welfare. The OA movement has made swift progress over the past decade, but has introduced a disruptive change into the scientific community. The early stages of OA publishing have raised strong apprehensions, such as reliability concerns and the emergence of so-called predatory journals. The OA initiative is both inspiring and unsettling. For the discipline of forensic psychiatry, research findings must be reliable enough to be proffered as testimony in court. The methods used by OA publishing make the resolution of the reliability problem somewhat unclear. Nevertheless, given the momentum of OA publishing, a substantial change in traditional publishing appears inevitable. The discipline of forensic psychiatry must keep abreast of this change and find innovative methods of preserving the integrity of the forensic science database.

In this study, a scientometric analysis was performed to identify the patterns, trends and gaps of knowledge for this invasive species. A survey of the published literature was conducted using the database of the Thomson Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). A total of 107 papers were surveyed that were published between 1982 and 2012 in 60 journals. The number of papers on L. fortunei over the years has increased, especially within the last eight years of the study period. Argentina, Brazil, and Japan are the countries that contributed the most papers to the literature on invasive bivalve. The majority of papers were field-observational studies. Among some important gaps that need to be addressed are the relatively small number and/or lack of studies conducted in the native countries and in countries invaded by L. fortunei, the lack of internationally collaborative publications in these countries, as well as a low number of internationally collaborative studies.

Materials and Methods: Awards, publications, patents and drugs data from National Institute of Health/Natural Science Foundation of China (NIH/NSFC), PubMed, Derwent Innovation Index and Cortellis were collected. Bibliometric methodologies and technology are used to investigate publications/patents/drugs, their contents and relationships. Results: NIH and NSFC respectively demonstrated a stable and sustained expenditure growth in this area. The number of publications is continuously increasing. Yet the annual patent applications worldwide and FDA drug approvals were little changed or not obviously fluctuated in 2003-2013. USA and several Asia-pacific countries/territories are important contributing powers. We described the evolution of major research topics by those MeSH Major Topics indexed in PubMed with the largest growth range in three intervals, and analyzed hot research topics in the recent 10 years which include NPs or NPs derivatives, cell line/animal model, laboratory technologies and activation mechanisms. Conclusions: China published the most publications and received the most patent applications, but drug discovery performance is no better than USA and Japan. Research on anti-neoplastic structures and compounds originated from Chinese traditional medicine (TCM), medicinal plants, herbal medicine and marine NPs are major research topics in the recent 10 years. There still exits translational gap between basic research and drug discovery. Translational research should be undertaken to strengthen the applicability of NPs.

[Eur. Phys. J. B 84, 535 (2011)] we revisit the question whether the usage of large citation datasets allows for the quantitative assessment of social (by means of coauthorship of publications) influence on the progression of science. Applying a more comprehensive and well-curated dataset containing the publications in the journals of the American Physical Society during the whole 20th century we find that the measure chosen in the original study, a score based on small induced subgraphs, has to be used with caution, since the obtained results are highly sensitive to the exact implementation of the author disambiguation task.

Neither is the underlying network structure of citations considered in computing these metrics. This results in scientists cited by well-recognized journals not being rewarded, and may lead to potential misuse if documents are created purely to cite others. In this paper we introduce a new ranking metric, the p-index (pagerank-index), which is computed from the underlying citation network of papers, and uses the pagerank algorithm in its computation. The index is a percentile score, and can potentially be implemented in public databases such as Google scholar, and can be applied at many levels of abstraction. We demonstrate that the metric aids in fairer ranking of scientists compared to h-index and its variants. We do this by simulating a realistic model of the evolution of citation and collaboration networks in a particular field, and comparing h-index and p-index of scientists under a number of scenarios.

He found examples of triplicate publishing, as well as journals that contained no original content, but were filled with articles submitted to other journals.[5] He published a follow-up article reporting that the owners of Emerald were simultaneously acting as authors, editors, and managers of these journals, duplicating not only the work of others but their own as well.[6] Emerald undertook its own study and identified 560 republished papers from 1989 to 2004, 1.1 percent of its total database. Davis argued that "whatever the number, no amount of premeditated covert article duplication is acceptable".[7] [. . .] References [. . .] 5.Jump up ^ Davis, Philip.

Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2014 12:05:18 +0000 Subject: How variable are the journal impact measures? In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Thank you for sharing this article. I had done a less rigorous analysis of the variability of the JIF across the areas of science and technology in which my organization (research lab, not larger institution) publishes. Some of the categories with higher variability in the time period were things like Remote Sensing and Automation & Control Systems which were surprising to me as they seem to be more "normal science" mode. I didn't have the opportunity to investigate further as this was just a side trip from the real project, but I suspected some outliers might have been the culprit. Now, after skimming your article it occurs to me that it's just an effect of having a fairly low IF to begin with - as engineering journals generally do. So worth more thought!

How variable are the journal impact measures? Aliakbar Haghdoost , Morteza Zare , Azam Bazrafshan , (2014) "How variable are the journal impact measures?", Online Information Review, Vol. 38 Iss: 6, pp.723 - 737 Available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/OIR-05-2014-0102 Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the variability of the impact factor (IF) and additional metrics in biomedical journals to provide some clues to the reliability of journal citation indicators. Design/methodology/approach - Having used ISI Journal Citation Reports, from 2005 to 2011, the authors extracted 62 subject categories related to biomedical sciences. The category lists and citation profile for each journal were then downloaded and extracted. Coefficient of variation was applied to estimate the overall variability of the journal citation indicators. Findings - Total citation indicators for 3,411 journals were extracted and examined. The overall variability of IFs and other journal citation measures in basic, clinical or translational, open access or subscription journals decreased while the quality and prestige of those journals developed. Interestingly, journal citation measures produced dissimilar variability trends and thus highlighted the importance of using multiple instead of just one measure in evaluating the performance and influence of biomedical journals. Eigenfactor(tm), Article's Influence and Cited Half Life proposed as more reliable indicators. Originality/value - The relative variability of the journal citation measures in biomedical journals would decrease with a development in the impact and quality of journals. Eigenfactor(tm) and Cited Half Life are suggested as more reliable measures indicating few changes during the study period and across different impact level journals. These findings will be useful for librarians, researchers and decision makers who need to use citation measures as evaluative tools. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This vast information resource is of enormous importance to scholars, both as a primary source and as a means of networking and communication. It is, however, strikingly ephemeral, and much important data has already been lost. The archiving of this vast range of material, so that it is accessible to both contemporary and future researchers, increasingly occupies national memory institutions, and researchers are also beginning to realise and explore its value. This conference seeks to explore the potential of web archives for scholarly use, to highlight innovative research, to investigate the challenges and opportunities of working with the archived web, to identify opportunities for incorporating web archives in learning and teaching, and to discuss and inform archival provision. This multi-disciplinary conference is aimed at scholars, web archiving institutions, web archivists, curators, IT-developers, companies and public institutions interested in web archiving and research using web archives. In conjunction with the overall topic of web archives, general areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - the history(ies) of the web - the changing structure of the web - material culture and display in a digital context - political and literary reputation online - public engagement online - patterns of culture online - networks of social communication - the evolution of language on the web - the history of institutions and organisations online - the history of social and political movements on the web - the relationship between image, sound and text online - the web as a forum for commemoration - health and education online - using web archives in the classroom - national/international boundaries online - approaches to web archiving - research methods for studying the archived web - providing access to the archived web This list is not exhaustive, and we are keen to attract the widest possible range of topics. Keynote speakers [image: meghan_small] *Meghan Dougherty, Loyola University, Chicago* *Virtual Digs: Finding a Material Record of Information Culture in Web Archives* Web archives preserve artifacts of rich lives lived with information. When we archive traces of behaviors online, what are we collecting? How do we conceptualize what we collect? How do we study these artifacts? In a very practical sense, we can say researchers 'dig through' these materials. We search. We piece together fragments. We struggle to organize, sort, and find something in our data. These artifacts and the lives they are evidence of constitute what could be considered a virtual archeological field. Archaeological practices can be a valuable guide for a broader discussion of research methods in Web history. This keynote talk aims to critically interrogate what is - and is not - present for researchers to collect, archive, and observe, what 'counts' as data, and suggests alternatives to the surge toward "data," big or small.

Message-ID: +++Apologies for cross-posting+++ SIGMet, the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) Special Interest Group for the measurement of information production and use, sponsors a panel on "Informetrics, Bibliometrics, Altmetrics: What Is It All About?" (https://www.asis.org/asist2014/program.html) at this year's ASIS&T Annual Meeting in Seattle. The aim of this panel is to discuss major informetric topics including the impact factor, the h-index, sources of citation data, the Eigenfactor, the making and use of base maps of science, application of bibliometrics, altmetrics, and future perspectives on bibliometrics. Reasonable applications, newly emerging alliances with other information services and pitfalls of bibliometric analyses will also be presented. The panel is particularly aimed at the general audience without extensive informetric knowledge. The panellists are Judit Bar-Ilan (Bar-Ilan University, Israel), Gali Halevi (Elsevier), Stefanie Haustein (University of Montr?al, Canada), Andrea Scharnhorst (Data Archiving and Networked Services Institution, Netherlands), and Jevin West (University of Washington, USA). Isabella Peters (ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, Germany) chairs the panel discussion. To be able to adequately address the audience's needs and give it a better chance of taking an active role in the panel discussion we invite ASIS&T AM attendees (and people who cannot attend) to get in touch with panellists, discuss aspects or post questions of general interest before the panel takes place. Hence, we provide several backchannels to reach the panellists. You can find all information on the panel on following website: http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGMET/activities/panel2014/ Here, bibliometric use cases are presented that serve as pegs on which to hang on the panel discussion. Also, the panellists introduce their main arguments and expertise on the use cases on the website. Please post your comment on the use cases on figshare: http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1209574 (you might want to download the slides from figshare to be able to fully read the slides). You can also direct your tweets to the panellists by using #sigmetpanel14 or @sig_met. We hope that we can foster more audience-related discussions in Seattle which will even include perspectives of people who are not able to attend.

URL: From eric.archambault at SCIENCE-METRIX.COM Thu Oct 23 10:12:34 2014 From: eric.archambault at SCIENCE-METRIX.COM (=?iso-8859-1?Q?=C9ric_Archambault?=) Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 14:12:34 +0000 Subject: Open Access Week: Series of reports on OA Message-ID: Apologies for cross-posting As part of Open Access Week 2014, a series of six reports on open access, produced for the European Commission (EC), were posted yesterday on the Science-Metrix website: http://science-metrix.com/en/publications/reports These reports were produced as part of the EC efforts to monitor the development of open access (OA) availability of peer-reviewed papers in addition to examining policies to promote OA data and scientific publications. The core report in the series provides definitions for OA scientific papers to address some of the shortcomings of existing definitions which are far too incomplete to grasp the full spectrum of situations encountered while measuring OA availability. The following definitions are suggested: A: Access-can be open (free), restricted or paid; with unrestricted or restricted usage rights; quality controlled or not; pre-print (pre-referring), post-print (post-referring), or published version (with final copy editing and page layout); immediate or delayed; permanent or transient. OA: Open Access-freely available online to all. IOA: Ideal OA-free; quality controlled (peer-reviewed or editorially controlled); with unrestricted usage rights (e.g. CC BY); in final, published form; immediate; permanent. RA: Restricted Access-access restricted to members of a group, club, or society. PA: Paid Access-access restricted by a pay wall; includes subscription access, licensed access, and pay-to-view access. Restricted OA-free but with download restrictions (e.g. registration required, restricted to manual download, HTML-only as opposed to self-contained format such as PDF) or re-use rights (e.g. CC NC). Green OA-OA provided before or immediately after publication by author self-archiving. Gold OA-immediate OA provided by a publisher, sometimes with paid for publication fee. Note that several Gold journals have right restriction: they are Gold ROA. For example, of the 38% of journals listed in the DOAJ that use a Creative Common licence, only 53% use the CC-BY licence that would allow them to qualify for the IOA definition above (Herb, 2014). Gold OA Journal-journal offering immediate cover-to-cover access. Gold OA Article-immediately accessible paper appearing in a Gold journal, or in a PA journal (the latter is also sometimes referred to as hybrid open access). ROA: Robin Hood OA or Rogue OA-Available for free in spite of restrictions, usage rights, or copyrights (overriding RA, PA, Restricted OA). As the publishers' copyright policies and self-archiving rules are compiled by the University of Nottingham in the SHERPA/RoMEO database, Rogue OA is synonymous with Robin Hood OA. DOA: Delayed OA-access after a delay period or embargo. Delayed Green OA-free online access provided by the author after a delay (due to author's own delay to make available for free) or embargo period (typically imposed by publisher). Delayed Gold OA-free online access provided by the publisher after a delay (e.g. change of policy that makes contents available for free) or embargo period. Delayed Gold OA Journal-Journal offering cover-to-cover access after an embargo period or after a delay. Delayed Gold OA Article-Paper appearing in a Gold journal or in a PA journal (the latter is also sometimes referred to as hybrid open access) which is available after an embargo period or after a delay. TOA: Transient OA-free online access during a certain time. Transient Green OA-free online access provided by the author for a certain time which then disappears. Note that a substantial part of Green OA could be Transient Green OA due to the unstable nature of the internet, websites, and institutional repositories, many of which are not updated or maintained after a period of time and are therefore susceptible to deletion in subsequent institutional website overhauls. There are also integrator repositories that can change access rules, for example after being acquired by a third party. Transient Gold OA-free but temporary online access provided by the publisher, instead of permanent. Sometimes appears as part of promotion. Note that some Gold journals and articles sometimes become paid access after a certain time, because of revised strategies by a publisher or because they are sold to another publisher who instaures paid access. Looking forward, we need to understand these various forms of OA availability. It was beyond the scope of this project to measure all these forms but it is an essential element to address. For example, Robin Hood OA has hardly been measured and is somewhat of a taboo subject. Transiency is another ill-understood subject that should be addressed by fundamental questions such as; What is the percentage of OA papers which are transient and why is this occurring? Relative to these definitions, the report has shortcomings. In the present reports, the following operational definitions were used to perform measurement: Green OA: refers to papers which are self-archived by authors and available on institutional repositories as listed in OpenDOAR and/or in ROAR. Listings in OpenDOAR and ROAR which correspond to known Gold OA Journals were set aside. Aggregator sites such as CiteSeerX were not considered here, since, even though they access article submissions, they do not constitute a repository in the classical sense. Likewise, articles in the main PubMed Central sites were not counted as Green as they have curtailed usage rights or limited download rights.[3] Because it is commonly difficult to determine whether a paper was self-archived before, at the same time or after publication and also how long it will be available on the internet, Green OA includes Green OA, Delayed Green and Transient Green. Note that some of these articles may not respect restrictions placed by journal publishers (many of whose rules can be found on SHERPA/ROMEO)[4] and therefore contain a certain number of Robin Hood OA papers. Finally, only articles which could be downloaded without user registrations were considered. Gold Journals OA: refers to papers appearing in journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)[5] and on the PubMed Central list of journals.[6] When a paper is published during the first year that a journal appears in the DOAJ, it is not counted. This is a conservative decision due to the fact that one cannot determine whether a journal started publishing Gold articles early or late during the year. For PubMed Central, only open access journals with full participation and immediate access were considered to be Gold, hence all journals with an embargo and in the 'NIH Portfolio' were not considered. Thus, this category covers articles appearing in Gold journals and excludes delayed Gold as well as piecemeal Gold (Gold articles in paid access journals, also called hybrid OA). Other OA: refers to pretty much everything that could be found on the web by a determined researcher and downloaded for free and which was not part of the Green and Gold operational definitions above. This comprises articles appearing in journals with an embargo period (Delayed Gold OA); articles appearing on authors' webpages and elsewhere (both Green OA and Rogue OA); articles appearing on aggregator sites such as ResearchGate and CiteSeerX in addition to PubMed Central. The category comprises both transiently and permanently accessible items as there are no reliable ways to ascertain at measurement time whether an item will be permanently accessible or not. Total OA: The mutually exclusive sum of Green OA, Gold Journal OA, and Other OA. These definitions, though they made sense from an operational point-of-view, are inadequate for the future. They were used in response to comments received on last year's series of reports. They were a stopgap measure and reflected what could be done on the project's budget and with the tools available. More detailed work is required, preferably on a large scale such as was done in this study (sample larger than 1 million randomly selected articles). An important aspect of the study which we hope will be followed by other metrology undertakings on OA availability is the use of: 1) large scale measurement to reduce statistical error; 2) use of calibration sample to determine adjustment by counting precisely recall and precision of the large scale measurement apparatus; 3) applying the calibration to the measured quantities. With hindsight, the application of the second part of the technique is a weak point of the study as the sample size was too small (500) and added an error of ? 4.5 percentage points. The manual calibration should be closer to 10,000 randomly selected papers to establish a gold standard to reduce additional error to about 1 percentage point (simplified discussion here, please see report D1.8 for a more elaborate discussion). Discussion of the source of data's characteristics is also essential. We need to have a more in-depth understanding of OA availability per country. I strongly suspect that countries that are not covered by WoS and Scopus are more likely to have a greater propensity to diffuse knowledge openly (and more so for the former, which partly explains why measuring OA with WoS provides lower scores). Combining WoS with no calibration for recall and precision can lead to a very serious underestimation of OA availability (missing more than 40% of the actual count of all peer-reviewed papers). It is likely that this study also underestimates OA availability because of the inadequate non-English language scientific literature in Scopus. Another important contribution of the report is the examination of the scientific impact of OA vs. non-OA literature with three scores: 1) normalised impact of all literature (=1.0); 2) normalised impact of OA literature; 3) normalised impact of non-OA literature. Using a one-million article sample shows the deleterious effect, on average, of non-espousing an OA diffusion strategy. Data are also presented on broad fields of knowledge and show that green OA is king for impact yet even the younger (on average) gold journals are showing greater impact than the more-established (on average) subscription-based journals in several fields. Seriously designed studies are required to control for embargo to understand how DOA papers are disadvantaged in terms of scientific impact relative to immediate OA.

URL: From amsciforum at GMAIL.COM Thu Oct 23 10:20:43 2014 From: amsciforum at GMAIL.COM (Stevan Harnad) Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 10:20:43 -0400 Subject: Open Access Week: Series of reports on OA In-Reply-To: Message-ID: The EC-commisioned Science-Metrix study has a lot of interesting and useful information that I hope the EC will apply and use. *Access Timing.* The fundamental problem highlighted by the Science-Metrix findings is *timing*: Over 50% of all articles published since 2007 are freely available today. But the trouble is that their percentage in the most critical years, namely, *the 1-2 years following publication*, is far lower than that! This is partly because of publisher OA embargoes, partly because of author fears and sluggishness, but mostly because not enough strong, effective OA mandates have as yet been adopted by institutions and funders. I hope the Science-Metrix study will serve to motivate and accelerate the adoption of strong, effective OA mandates worldwide. That will narrow the gap at the all-important growth tip of research, which is its first 1-2 years. A few things to bear in mind: *1. Delayed Access. *Publishers have essentially resigned themselves to Delayed Access ? i.e., free online access 1-2 years after publication. They know they can?t stop it, and they know it doesn?t have a significant effect on subscription revenues. Hence the real battle-ground for OA is the growth region of research: the 1-2 years following publication. That?s why OA mandates are so important. *2. Embargoes.* Most OA mandates allow an OA embargo during the first year folllowing publication. But there are ways that immediate research needs can be fulfilled even during an OA embargo, namely, via institutional repositories? semi-automatic copy-request Button . For this Button to fulfill its purposes, however, OA mandates must require deposit immediately upon acceptance for publication, not just after a 6-12-month OA embargo has elapsed. There are still too few such immediate-deposit mandates, but the Science-Metrix study would have missed the "almost-OA" access that they provide unless it also measured Button-based copy-provision. *3. Green OA, Gold OA and Non-OA.* It is incorrect that "Green OA" means only repository-based OA. Of course OA (free online access) provided on authors' websites is Green OA too. The best way to define Green OA is OA provided by other than the publisher: Gold OA is provided by the publisher (though often paid for by the author or the author's institution or funder). Green OA is provided by the author, wherever the author provides the free online access. (And, although it is not the kind of OA advocated or mandated by institutions and funders, 3rd-party "bootleg" OA, apart from being hard to ascertain, is also Green OA: it certainly doesn't merit a color of its own -- and probably a lot of the back access is 3rd-party-provided rather than author-provided.) So the Science-Metrix data would be more informative and easier to interpret if it were all clearly classified as either Green OA, Gold OA, or non-OA. That would give a clearer idea of the relative size and growth rate of the two roads to OA. *4. The OA Impact Advantage.* I am sure that Gold OA would show the same OA impact advantage as Green OA if it were equally possible to measure it. The trouble is determining the non-OA baseline for comparison. Green OA impact studies can do this easily, by comparing OA and non-OA articles published in the same journal issue and year; Gold OA impact studies have the problem of equating OA and non-OA journals for content and quality. And although there are junk journals among both non-OA and Gold OA journals, it is undeniable that their proportions are higher among Gold OA journals (see Beall's list) whereas the proportion of Gold OA journals themselves is still low. So their impact estimates would be dragged down by the junk-Gold journals. *5. From Fools Gold to Fair Gold.* The Science-Metrix study is right that toll-access publishing will prove unsustainable in the long run. But it is mandatory Green OA self-archiving that will drive the transition to Fair-Gold OA sooner rather than later.

(2014). Estimating Open Access Mandate Effectiveness: I. The MELIBEA Score . arXiv preprint arXiv:1410.2926. P.S. I learned from Richard van Noorden's posting on this that the Open Access Button -- which names and shames publishers for embargoing OA whenever a user encounters a non-OA paper -- *can now also email an automatic request to the author for a copy* (if it can find the author's email address). This new capability complements the already existing copy-request Button implemented in many institutional repositories, which is reliably linked to the author's email address. The purpose of the repositories' copy-request Button is to complement and reinforce institutional and funder OA mandates that require authors to deposit their final, refereed drafts immediately upon acceptance for publication rather than only after a publisher OA embargo has elapsed On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 10:12 AM, ?ric Archambault < eric.archambault at science-metrix.com> wrote: > Adminstrative info for SIGMETRICS (for example unsubscribe): > http://web.utk.edu/~gwhitney/sigmetrics.html > > *Apologies for cross-posting* > > > > As part of Open Access Week 2014, a series of six reports on open access, > produced for the European Commission (EC), were posted yesterday on the > Science-Metrix website: > > > > http://science-metrix.com/en/publications/reports > > > > These reports were produced as part of the EC efforts to monitor the > development of open access (OA) availability of peer-reviewed papers in > addition to examining policies to promote OA data and scientific > publications. > > > > The core report in the series provides definitions for OA scientific > papers to address some of the shortcomings of existing definitions which > are far too incomplete to grasp the full spectrum of situations encountered > while measuring OA availability. > > > > The following definitions are suggested: > > > > *A: Access*?can be open (free), restricted or paid; with unrestricted or > restricted usage rights; quality controlled or not; pre-print > (pre-referring), post-print (post-referring), or published version (with > final copy editing and page layout); immediate or delayed; permanent or > transient. > > > > *OA: Open Access*?freely available online to all. > > > > *IOA: Ideal OA*?free; quality controlled (peer-reviewed or editorially > controlled); with unrestricted usage rights (e.g. CC BY); in final, > published form; immediate; permanent. > > > > *RA: Restricted Access*?access restricted to members of a group, club, or > society. > > > > *PA: Paid Access*?access restricted by a pay wall; includes subscription > access, licensed access, and pay-to-view access. > > > > *Restricted OA*?free but with download restrictions (e.g. registration > required, restricted to manual download, HTML-only as opposed to > self-contained format such as PDF) or re-use rights (e.g. CC NC). > > > > *Green OA*?OA provided before or immediately after publication by author > self-archiving. > > > > *Gold OA*?immediate OA provided by a publisher, sometimes with paid for > publication fee.

URL: From dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US Sat Oct 25 07:41:17 2014 From: dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US (David Wojick) Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 07:41:17 -0400 Subject: Open Access Week: Series of reports on OA In-Reply-To: Message-ID: William, Are you referring to the fact that DOA usually means Dead On Arrival? Given that the US Public Access program has opted for delayed access it is more like Dominant On Arrival, since the Feds fund a significant fraction of all published research. In that regard I notice that the definition of DOA does not mention government mandates, which it should. The US action may be decisive. Also the references to hybrid are somewhat muddled. Hybrid is not a kind of article access at all, rather it is a kind of journal access. Perhaps we need a different set of definitions for articles and journals. What does seem funny to me, as an observer, is that the publishers have basically said "Okay, if you insist on giving us money to publish your articles, then we will take it." Wiley, for example, is bringing out a bunch of new APC journals. At this point it looks like DOA and APC are the future of OA. Of course that may change given time.

I strongly suspect that countries that are not covered by WoS and Scopus are more likely to have a greater propensity to diffuse knowledge openly (and more so for the former, which partly explains why measuring OA with WoS provides lower scores). Combining WoS with no calibration for recall and precision can lead to a very serious underestimation of OA availability (missing more than 40% of the actual count of all peer-reviewed papers).

And the feds will lead the way only if they ignore consultants who try to steer them in the direction of publisher control, publisher embargoes and DOA, and go IDOA instead.

(Jeroen)) Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 15:14:15 +0000 Subject: Open Access Week: Series of reports on OA In-Reply-To: Message-ID: David, Sometimes it seems you do not want to accept that greater sharing benefits society. Don?t you think your wish to see just DOA/APC is bit narrow? The majority of OA journals do not levy charges. What happens in the US is very important for developments in scholarly communication, but what happens in the other 95% of the world may ultimately be at least as important, with Green OA (immediate) deposit policies active or proposed in so many countries (e.g. Argentina, Italy, China, UK (HEFCE). You also seem to dismiss successful experiments with other models and trends (e.g. membership models, SCOAP3, intensive sharing by authors through ResearchGate etc.). Jeroen Bosman From: ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Metrics [mailto:SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU] On Behalf Of David Wojick Sent: zaterdag 25 oktober 2014 13:41 To: SIGMETRICS at LISTSERV.UTK.EDU Subject: Re: [SIGMETRICS] Open Access Week: Series of reports on OA Adminstrative info for SIGMETRICS (for example unsubscribe): http://web.utk.edu/~gwhitney/sigmetrics.html William, Are you referring to the fact that DOA usually means Dead On Arrival? Given that the US Public Access program has opted for delayed access it is more like Dominant On Arrival, since the Feds fund a significant fraction of all published research. In that regard I notice that the definition of DOA does not mention government mandates, which it should. The US action may be decisive. Also the references to hybrid are somewhat muddled. Hybrid is not a kind of article access at all, rather it is a kind of journal access. Perhaps we need a different set of definitions for articles and journals. What does seem funny to me, as an observer, is that the publishers have basically said "Okay, if you insist on giving us money to publish your articles, then we will take it." Wiley, for example, is bringing out a bunch of new APC journals. At this point it looks like DOA and APC are the future of OA. Of course that may change given time.

The core report in the series provides definitions for OA scientific papers to address some of the shortcomings of existing definitions which are far too incomplete to grasp the full spectrum of situations encountered while measuring OA availability. The following definitions are suggested: A: Access?can be open (free), restricted or paid; with unrestricted or restricted usage rights; quality controlled or not; pre-print (pre-referring), post-print (post-referring), or published version (with final copy editing and page layout); immediate or delayed; permanent or transient. OA: Open Access?freely available online to all. IOA: Ideal OA?free; quality controlled (peer-reviewed or editorially controlled); with unrestricted usage rights (e.g. CC BY); in final, published form; immediate; permanent. RA: Restricted Access?access restricted to members of a group, club, or society. PA: Paid Access?access restricted by a pay wall; includes subscription access, licensed access, and pay-to-view access. Restricted OA?free but with download restrictions (e.g. registration required, restricted to manual download, HTML-only as opposed to self-contained format such as PDF) or re-use rights (e.g. CC NC). Green OA?OA provided before or immediately after publication by author self-archiving. Gold OA?immediate OA provided by a publisher, sometimes with paid for publication fee. Note that several Gold journals have right restriction: they are Gold ROA. For example, of the 38% of journals listed in the DOAJ that use a Creative Common licence, only 53% use the CC-BY licence that would allow them to qualify for the IOA definition above (Herb, 2014). Gold OA Journal?journal offering immediate cover-to-cover access. Gold OA Article?immediately accessible paper appearing in a Gold journal, or in a PA journal (the latter is also sometimes referred to as hybrid open access). ROA: Robin Hood OA or Rogue OA?Available for free in spite of restrictions, usage rights, or copyrights (overriding RA, PA, Restricted OA). As the publishers' copyright policies and self-archiving rules are compiled by the University of Nottingham in the SHERPA/RoMEO database, Rogue OA is synonymous with Robin Hood OA. DOA: Delayed OA?access after a delay period or embargo. Delayed Green OA?free online access provided by the author after a delay (due to author's own delay to make available for free) or embargo period (typically imposed by publisher). Delayed Gold OA?free online access provided by the publisher after a delay (e.g. change of policy that makes contents available for free) or embargo period. Delayed Gold OA Journal?Journal offering cover-to-cover access after an embargo period or after a delay. Delayed Gold OA Article?Paper appearing in a Gold journal or in a PA journal (the latter is also sometimes referred to as hybrid open access) which is available after an embargo period or after a delay. TOA: Transient OA?free online access during a certain time. Transient Green OA?free online access provided by the author for a certain time which then disappears. Note that a substantial part of Green OA could be Transient Green OA due to the unstable nature of the internet, websites, and institutional repositories, many of which are not updated or maintained after a period of time and are therefore susceptible to deletion in subsequent institutional website overhauls. There are also integrator repositories that can change access rules, for example after being acquired by a third party. Transient Gold OA?free but temporary online access provided by the publisher, instead of permanent. Sometimes appears as part of promotion. Note that some Gold journals and articles sometimes become paid access after a certain time, because of revised strategies by a publisher or because they are sold to another publisher who instaures paid access. Looking forward, we need to understand these various forms of OA availability. It was beyond the scope of this project to measure all these forms but it is an essential element to address. For example, Robin Hood OA has hardly been measured and is somewhat of a taboo subject. Transiency is another ill-understood subject that should be addressed by fundamental questions such as; What is the percentage of OA papers which are transient and why is this occurring? Relative to these definitions, the report has shortcomings. In the present reports, the following operational definitions were used to perform measurement: Green OA: refers to papers which are self-archived by authors and available on institutional repositories as listed in OpenDOAR and/or in ROAR. Listings in OpenDOAR and ROAR which correspond to known Gold OA Journals were set aside. Aggregator sites such as CiteSeerX were not considered here, since, even though they access article submissions, they do not constitute a repository in the classical sense. Likewise, articles in the main PubMed Central sites were not counted as Green as they have curtailed usage rights or limited download rights.[3] Because it is commonly difficult to determine whether a paper was self-archived before, at the same time or after publication and also how long it will be available on the internet, Green OA includes Green OA, Delayed Green and Transient Green. Note that some of these articles may not respect restrictions placed by journal publishers (many of whose rules can be found on SHERPA/ROMEO)[4] and therefore contain a certain number of Robin Hood OA papers. Finally, only articles which could be downloaded without user registrations were considered. Gold Journals OA: refers to papers appearing in journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)[5] and on the PubMed Central list of journals.[6] When a paper is published during the first year that a journal appears in the DOAJ, it is not counted. This is a conservative decision due to the fact that one cannot determine whether a journal started publishing Gold articles early or late during the year. For PubMed Central, only open access journals with full participation and immediate access were considered to be Gold, hence all journals with an embargo and in the 'NIH Portfolio' were not considered. Thus, this category covers articles appearing in Gold journals and excludes delayed Gold as well as piecemeal Gold (Gold articles in paid access journals, also called hybrid OA). Other OA: refers to pretty much everything that could be found on the web by a determined researcher and downloaded for free and which was not part of the Green and Gold operational definitions above. This comprises articles appearing in journals with an embargo period (Delayed Gold OA); articles appearing on authors' webpages and elsewhere (both Green OA and Rogue OA); articles appearing on aggregator sites such as ResearchGate and CiteSeerX in addition to PubMed Central. The category comprises both transiently and permanently accessible items as there are no reliable ways to ascertain at measurement time whether an item will be permanently accessible or not. Total OA: The mutually exclusive sum of Green OA, Gold Journal OA, and Other OA. These definitions, though they made sense from an operational point-of-view, are inadequate for the future. They were used in response to comments received on last year?s series of reports. They were a stopgap measure and reflected what could be done on the project?s budget and with the tools available. More detailed work is required, preferably on a large scale such as was done in this study (sample larger than 1 million randomly selected articles). An important aspect of the study which we hope will be followed by other metrology undertakings on OA availability is the use of: 1) large scale measurement to reduce statistical error; 2) use of calibration sample to determine adjustment by counting precisely recall and precision of the large scale measurement apparatus; 3) applying the calibration to the measured quantities. With hindsight, the application of the second part of the technique is a weak point of the study as the sample size was too small (500) and added an error of ? 4.5 percentage points. The manual calibration should be closer to 10,000 randomly selected papers to establish a gold standard to reduce additional error to about 1 percentage point (simplified discussion here, please see report D1.8 for a more elaborate discussion). Discussion of the source of data?s characteristics is also essential. We need to have a more in-depth understanding of OA availability per country. I strongly suspect that countries that are not covered by WoS and Scopus are more likely to have a greater propensity to diffuse knowledge openly (and more so for the former, which partly explains why measuring OA with WoS provides lower scores). Combining WoS with no calibration for recall and precision can lead to a very serious underestimation of OA availability (missing more than 40% of the actual count of all peer-reviewed papers). It is likely that this study also underestimates OA availability because of the inadequate non-English language scientific literature in Scopus. Another important contribution of the report is the examination of the scientific impact of OA vs. non-OA literature with three scores: 1) normalised impact of all literature (=1.0); 2) normalised impact of OA literature; 3) normalised impact of non-OA literature. Using a one-million article sample shows the deleterious effect, on average, of non-espousing an OA diffusion strategy. Data are also presented on broad fields of knowledge and show that green OA is king for impact yet even the younger (on average) gold journals are showing greater impact than the more-established (on average) subscription-based journals in several fields. Seriously designed studies are required to control for embargo to understand how DOA papers are disadvantaged in terms of scientific impact relative to immediate OA.

URL: From dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US Sat Oct 25 11:31:36 2014 From: dwojick at CRAIGELLACHIE.US (David Wojick) Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 11:31:36 -0400 Subject: Open Access Week: Series of reports on OA In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Stevan (I prefer to reply at the top like most people here), As you should know, I am now a journalist, which I was prior to joining DOE in 2004. In this role I get to criticize everyone, including the publishers. My rag is http://insidepublicaccess.com/ which you might consider subscribing to in order to know what is actually going on. If you think the publishers have any sort of control you are mistaken, as the Feds are in charge. I have written about this in some detail. However, if you know of any US agency that is taking your proposals seriously I would love to hear about it. Something very interesting is going on, namely a group of medical students is investigating DOE, probably looking for improper liaison with the publishers (which I doubt exists). Here are some excerpts from this weeks issue of Inside Public Access: DOE hit with Public Access FOIA request Synopsis: The US Energy Dept. is responding to a Freedom of Information Act request targeting correspondence between DOE and the "publishing industry" regarding the Department's Public Access program. The FOIA request comes from the American Medical Student Association and appears to be related to their "Access to Medicine" campaign. The purpose of the request is unclear at this time. AMSA and the FOIA request Ms. Reshma Ramachandran from the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the US Energy Department. The request is reportedly for "Copies of all correspondence including electronic and paper communications, between all Department of Energy personnel tasked with developing the Department of Energy's plan for providing access to the results of federally funded research and the publishing industry relating to the development, drafting and implementation of said plan for providing access to the results of federally funded research released on August 4, 2014." DOE is working to collect and deliver all the requested documents. Everything prior to September 11, 2014, when the request was finalized, will be included. Interestingly, there is a recent precedent for the AMSA FOIA action. Kent Anderson, editor of the prestigious Scholarly Kitchen blog and President of the Society for Scholarly Publishing, did a FOIA action against PubMed Central that yielded a considerable amount of potentially damaging information. In particular, Anderson made a number of allegations of conflict of interest and other wrongs in some collaborations between PMC and certain publishers. FOIA actions have a tendency to chill communications between agencies and the public. Unfortunately this AMSA enquiry comes just when that sort of communication is most important, because DOE and the scholarly community must work closely together if Public Access is going to work well. As they say, the devil is in the details, and the details are now upon us. As we have documented here in Inside Public Access, there are a host of serious and complex procedural issues yet to be worked out. I have trouble believing it is worth it, but it remains to be seen what, if anything, AMSA finds. Perhaps the real danger is that innocent statements will be taken out of context and used politically, rather than to improve the Public Access program. On the other hand maybe there is something wrong going on. In any case the results may be quite interesting, now that the spotlight is on. A surprising development. Med students!

I am an analyst, not a moralist. What is China doing by the way? They rival the US in output. The obvious problem with immediate deposit is that if it actually worked it would destroy the subscription journals being deposited. (I am not the only one to make this point.) Free universal access to subscription content is a contradiction. How do you propose to achieve it? I do not dismiss the experiments, in fact I follow them with interest and write about them.But in size they are as nothing compared to the US Public Access program, which is a massive program not an experiment David At 11:14 AM 10/25/2014, you wrote: >David, > >Sometimes it seems you do not want to accept that greater sharing benefits >society. > >Don???t you think your wish to see just DOA/APC is bit narrow?

As journalist you are reporting what the federal agencies are doing, but as a consultant you were influencing what a federal agency was doing. To cut to the quick: The simplest way to keep publishers out of federal agency or university OA policy is not to consult them at all. All Green OA mandates should require institutional deposit of the refereed final draft immediately upon acceptance for publication, and the allowable OA embargo length on the deposit should be decided by the federal agency (or university). That?s all. Publishers have nothing to do with it ? it needs neither their approval nor their collaboration. It is attempts to get publishers involved in the implementation of the mandate that cause the needless confusions and conflicts: 1. Federal funders fund researcher (with tax-payer money). 2. Institutional authors conduct and report the research. 3. Peer researchers review the research reports. 4. Publishers fund the administration of the peer review (and in exchange they get exclusive subscription sale rights). 5. Funders and institutions mandate Green OA self-archiving (as a condition of funding, and university research performance evaluation) 6. Authors comply with the Green OA mandates ? by depositing immediately upon acceptance, and making the deposit OA immediately, or after the allowable embargo at the latest. That?s all there is to it: Publishers have nothing to do with compliance with the mandates. Have you advised otherwise, in your capacity as consultant?

Unfortunately this AMSA enquiry comes just when that sort of communication is most important, because DOE and the scholarly community must work closely together if Public Access is going to work well. As they say, the devil is in the details, and the details are now upon us. As we have documented here in Inside Public Access, there are a host of serious and complex procedural issues yet to be worked out. > > I have trouble believing it is worth it, but it remains to be seen what, if anything, AMSA finds.

In several fields, uptake is slow and shelf life is long so I?m afraid you are jumping to this conclusion too fast. If we wanted to give other meaning to the acronym DOA, which stands for Delayed OA, perhaps we could say BTN for Better than Nothing. However, BTN is far from an optimal model. The world over, governments, and hence the public, end up paying more than Billion $450 to support public research. The market for STM subscriptions is a tad over Billion $10. So this 45:1 ratio says the system is outrageously inefficient as most of the public and even small and medium enterprises do not have access to the scientific knowledge they fund ? at the moment, scientific knowledge is created by the research community for the research community as only it is organized in such a way that it can subscribe to the material it produces. So DOA is better than nothing, highly inefficient, contrary to social interests, but not necessarily Dead on Arrival. More research is required, as I was mentioning, to establish the social cost of these inefficient, half-baked policies. I think people are confused on both sides: whatever the solution that will prevail, the public will pay editors (be them not for profit or for profit) to publish papers. Paying for universal access makes more sense than restricting access to the research community, and providing instant access also makes more sense. I am confident that in the long run common sense will prevail and subscription and delays will both disappear. DOA is only a stopgap measure, the result of fear, ignorance and lobbying.

Given that the US Public Access program has opted for delayed access it is more like Dominant On Arrival, since the Feds fund a significant fraction of all published research. In that regard I notice that the definition of DOA does not mention government mandates, which it should. The US action may be decisive. Also the references to hybrid are somewhat muddled. Hybrid is not a kind of article access at all, rather it is a kind of journal access. Perhaps we need a different set of definitions for articles and journals. What does seem funny to me, as an observer, is that the publishers have basically said "Okay, if you insist on giving us money to publish your articles, then we will take it." Wiley, for example, is bringing out a bunch of new APC journals. At this point it looks like DOA and APC are the future of OA. Of course that may change given time.

The core report in the series provides definitions for OA scientific papers to address some of the shortcomings of existing definitions which are far too incomplete to grasp the full spectrum of situations encountered while measuring OA availability. The following definitions are suggested: A: Access?can be open (free), restricted or paid; with unrestricted or restricted usage rights; quality controlled or not; pre-print (pre-referring), post-print (post-referring), or published version (with final copy editing and page layout); immediate or delayed; permanent or transient. OA: Open Access?freely available online to all. IOA: Ideal OA?free; quality controlled (peer-reviewed or editorially controlled); with unrestricted usage rights (e.g. CC BY); in final, published form; immediate; permanent. RA: Restricted Access?access restricted to members of a group, club, or society. PA: Paid Access?access restricted by a pay wall; includes subscription access, licensed access, and pay-to-view access. Restricted OA?free but with download restrictions (e.g. registration required, restricted to manual download, HTML-only as opposed to self-contained format such as PDF) or re-use rights (e.g. CC NC). Green OA?OA provided before or immediately after publication by author self-archiving. Gold OA?immediate OA provided by a publisher, sometimes with paid for publication fee. Note that several Gold journals have right restriction: they are Gold ROA. For example, of the 38% of journals listed in the DOAJ that use a Creative Common licence, only 53% use the CC-BY licence that would allow them to qualify for the IOA definition above (Herb, 2014). Gold OA Journal?journal offering immediate cover-to-cover access. Gold OA Article?immediately accessible paper appearing in a Gold journal, or in a PA journal (the latter is also sometimes referred to as hybrid open access). ROA: Robin Hood OA or Rogue OA?Available for free in spite of restrictions, usage rights, or copyrights (overriding RA, PA, Restricted OA). As the publishers' copyright policies and self-archiving rules are compiled by the University of Nottingham in the SHERPA/RoMEO database, Rogue OA is synonymous with Robin Hood OA. DOA: Delayed OA?access after a delay period or embargo. Delayed Green OA?free online access provided by the author after a delay (due to author's own delay to make available for free) or embargo period (typically imposed by publisher). Delayed Gold OA?free online access provided by the publisher after a delay (e.g. change of policy that makes contents available for free) or embargo period. Delayed Gold OA Journal?Journal offering cover-to-cover access after an embargo period or after a delay. Delayed Gold OA Article?Paper appearing in a Gold journal or in a PA journal (the latter is also sometimes referred to as hybrid open access) which is available after an embargo period or after a delay. TOA: Transient OA?free online access during a certain time. Transient Green OA?free online access provided by the author for a certain time which then disappears. Note that a substantial part of Green OA could be Transient Green OA due to the unstable nature of the internet, websites, and institutional repositories, many of which are not updated or maintained after a period of time and are therefore susceptible to deletion in subsequent institutional website overhauls. There are also integrator repositories that can change access rules, for example after being acquired by a third party. Transient Gold OA?free but temporary online access provided by the publisher, instead of permanent. Sometimes appears as part of promotion. Note that some Gold journals and articles sometimes become paid access after a certain time, because of revised strategies by a publisher or because they are sold to another publisher who instaures paid access. Looking forward, we need to understand these various forms of OA availability. It was beyond the scope of this project to measure all these forms but it is an essential element to address. For example, Robin Hood OA has hardly been measured and is somewhat of a taboo subject. Transiency is another ill-understood subject that should be addressed by fundamental questions such as; What is the percentage of OA papers which are transient and why is this occurring? Relative to these definitions, the report has shortcomings. In the present reports, the following operational definitions were used to perform measurement: Green OA: refers to papers which are self-archived by authors and available on institutional repositories as listed in OpenDOAR and/or in ROAR. Listings in OpenDOAR and ROAR which correspond to known Gold OA Journals were set aside. Aggregator sites such as CiteSeerX were not considered here, since, even though they access article submissions, they do not constitute a repository in the classical sense. Likewise, articles in the main PubMed Central sites were not counted as Green as they have curtailed usage rights or limited download rights.[3] Because it is commonly difficult to determine whether a paper was self-archived before, at the same time or after publication and also how long it will be available on the internet, Green OA includes Green OA, Delayed Green and Transient Green. Note that some of these articles may not respect restrictions placed by journal publishers (many of whose rules can be found on SHERPA/ROMEO)[4] and therefore contain a certain number of Robin Hood OA papers. Finally, only articles which could be downloaded without user registrations were considered. Gold Journals OA: refers to papers appearing in journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)[5] and on the PubMed Central list of journals.[6] When a paper is published during the first year that a journal appears in the DOAJ, it is not counted. This is a conservative decision due to the fact that one cannot determine whether a journal started publishing Gold articles early or late during the year. For PubMed Central, only open access journals with full participation and immediate access were considered to be Gold, hence all journals with an embargo and in the 'NIH Portfolio' were not considered. Thus, this category covers articles appearing in Gold journals and excludes delayed Gold as well as piecemeal Gold (Gold articles in paid access journals, also called hybrid OA). Other OA: refers to pretty much everything that could be found on the web by a determined researcher and downloaded for free and which was not part of the Green and Gold operational definitions above. This comprises articles appearing in journals with an embargo period (Delayed Gold OA); articles appearing on authors' webpages and elsewhere (both Green OA and Rogue OA); articles appearing on aggregator sites such as ResearchGate and CiteSeerX in addition to PubMed Central. The category comprises both transiently and permanently accessible items as there are no reliable ways to ascertain at measurement time whether an item will be permanently accessible or not. Total OA: The mutually exclusive sum of Green OA, Gold Journal OA, and Other OA. These definitions, though they made sense from an operational point-of-view, are inadequate for the future. They were used in response to comments received on last year?s series of reports. They were a stopgap measure and reflected what could be done on the project?s budget and with the tools available. More detailed work is required, preferably on a large scale such as was done in this study (sample larger than 1 million randomly selected articles). An important aspect of the study which we hope will be followed by other metrology undertakings on OA availability is the use of: 1) large scale measurement to reduce statistical error; 2) use of calibration sample to determine adjustment by counting precisely recall and precision of the large scale measurement apparatus; 3) applying the calibration to the measured quantities. With hindsight, the application of the second part of the technique is a weak point of the study as the sample size was too small (500) and added an error of ? 4.5 percentage points. The manual calibration should be closer to 10,000 randomly selected papers to establish a gold standard to reduce additional error to about 1 percentage point (simplified discussion here, please see report D1.8 for a more elaborate discussion). Discussion of the source of data?s characteristics is also essential. We need to have a more in-depth understanding of OA availability per country. I strongly suspect that countries that are not covered by WoS and Scopus are more likely to have a greater propensity to diffuse knowledge openly (and more so for the former, which partly explains why measuring OA with WoS provides lower scores). Combining WoS with no calibration for recall and precision can lead to a very serious underestimation of OA availability (missing more than 40% of the actual count of all peer-reviewed papers). It is likely that this study also underestimates OA availability because of the inadequate non-English language scientific literature in Scopus. Another important contribution of the report is the examination of the scientific impact of OA vs. non-OA literature with three scores: 1) normalised impact of all literature (=1.0); 2) normalised impact of OA literature; 3) normalised impact of non-OA literature. Using a one-million article sample shows the deleterious effect, on average, of non-espousing an OA diffusion strategy. Data are also presented on broad fields of knowledge and show that green OA is king for impact yet even the younger (on average) gold journals are showing greater impact than the more-established (on average) subscription-based journals in several fields. Seriously designed studies are required to control for embargo to understand how DOA papers are disadvantaged in terms of scientific impact relative to immediate OA.

As for my role, when I have a Federal client I do not advocate policy. I do issue analysis to facilitate policy decisions, or program design to implement them, or trouble shooting when a program does not work. In the case of the Public Access program, the OSTP mandate was preceded by a lengthy interagency deliberation. The DOE OSTI Director co-chaired that effort and I did a lot of his staff work. The group failed to reach consensus because there were two opposing schools of thought, which accounts for some of the vagueness in the mandate. One school, led by PMC, wanted a PMC approach wherein the government ran its own repository. (I call it PubFed Central.) The other, led by DOE, wanted to maximize the use of existing resources in a 3 tiered approach. Use the publisher's version of record and website where possible, or a repository if the publisher's version was not available, or a Federal repository as a last resort. There was never, ever, any consideration of a repository mandate, much less immediate deposit.

It sounds to me more like the "Federal government" has not yet worked out a coherent implementation of the OSTP mandate, which is vague or moot on the crucial implementation parameters we are discussing, and the many agencies ? of which DOA/OSTI is only one ? have not yet come to an agreement about them either. What is seems obvious is that the ?3-tiered approach,? where the OA provision distributed two ways between the fundees (who are bound by the funder mandate) and publishers (who are not), and where the locus of the OA provision is distributed between institutional repositories, central repositories and publisher websites is the worst possible one, both for the authors and for monitoring and ensuring compliance. Yes, you?re quite right that the agencies did not consult me, as they did you. But I prefer to believe that they ? like the UK funding councils, who have been at it much loner ? remain open to evidence-based recommendations on the crucial implementation parameters, such as what should be deposited, how, when, where, by whom ? and above all why. The optimal mandate is of course institutional deposit, with compliance monitored by the institution, and then central export or harvest if desired. (Users find OA content on the web these days, e.g., via google and google scholar: the notion of a central collection is already obsolete. No one deposits directly in google. But institutional deposit is crucial for compliance monitoring as well as institutional record-keeping. Vincent-Lamarre, P., Boivin, J., Gargouri, Y., Larivi?re, V., & Harnad, S. (2014).

If they do it will be the DOE approach, because the software is there. It might be like the Science.gov portal, which OSTI operates. Ideally they will get all their articles via CHORUS and that is the hope. The primary consideration is cost because there is no new funding for the Public Access program. PMC is rich while the other agencies have very little money for this. However, there was a rumor about 5 months ago that NSF would go with an "any repository" approach, but still with the 12 month embargo. IPA covered it. Now the rumor is that NSF will go the DOE route, but no one really knows what the agencies will do because the decisions simply have not been made. Hence my newsletter. The feds have little, if any,interest in what the Brits are doing. Neither APC nor immediate deposit are on the table. But most of the agencies probably have to go through rulemaking to implement their programs so you can comment then, as can everyone.

That?s just fine. No money is needed from the Feds, just the adoption of the right OA mandate.

Fine, but it won?t work unless NSF specifies institutional repository deposit and adds an immediate-deposit clause, to ensure compliance monitoring and verification by institutions. The 12-month embargo on OA will be mooted by the institutions? automated copy-request Button ? as long as authors must deposit immediately and not just after the embargo! > Now the rumor is that NSF will go the DOE route, but no one really knows what the agencies > will do because the decisions simply have not been made.

In this role I get to criticize everyone, including the publishers. My rag is http://insidepublicaccess.com/ which you might consider subscribing to in order to know what is actually going on. If you think the publishers have any sort of control you are mistaken, as the Feds are in charge. I have written about this in some detail.

The FOIA request comes from the American Medical Student Association and appears to be related to their "Access to Medicine" campaign. The purpose of the request is unclear at this time. >>>>> >>>>> AMSA and the FOIA request >>>>> >>>>> Ms. Reshma Ramachandran from the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the US Energy Department. The request is reportedly for "Copies of all correspondence including electronic and paper communications, between all Department of Energy personnel tasked with developing the Department of Energy's plan for providing access to the results of federally funded research and the publishing industry relating to the development, drafting and implementation of said plan for providing access to the results of federally funded research released on August 4, 2014." DOE is working to collect and deliver all the requested documents. Everything prior to September 11, 2014, when the request was finalized, will be included. >>>>> >>>>> Interestingly, there is a recent precedent for the AMSA FOIA action. Kent Anderson, editor of the prestigious Scholarly Kitchen blog and President of the Society for Scholarly Publishing, did a FOIA action against PubMed Central that yielded a considerable amount of potentially damaging information. In particular, Anderson made a number of allegations of conflict of interest and other wrongs in some collaborations between PMC and certain publishers. >>>>> >>>>> FOIA actions have a tendency to chill communications between agencies and the public. Unfortunately this AMSA enquiry comes just when that sort of communication is most important, because DOE and the scholarly community must work closely together if Public Access is going to work well. As they say, the devil is in the details, and the details are now upon us. As we have documented here in Inside Public Access, there are a host of serious and complex procedural issues yet to be worked out. >>>>> >>>>> I have trouble believing it is worth it, but it remains to be seen what, if anything, AMSA finds. Perhaps the real danger is that innocent statements will be taken out of context and used politically, rather than to improve the Public Access program. On the other hand maybe there is something wrong going on. In any case the results may be quite interesting, now that the spotlight is on. >>>>> >>>>> A surprising development.

Aguillo) Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2014 14:50:22 +0100 Subject: 382 researchers with an h-index of 100 or larger Message-ID: A frequent criticism to the citation analysis stemmed from its alleged inability to evaluate the results of social scientists in general and the books as objects of scholarly communication in particular. For several years I have been working with Google Scholar, an alternative to the WoS and Scopus, and now I have evidence to show that the alleged bias of bibliometrics is probably the result of an incomplete and biased coverage of the sources used so far. I just published a ranking of the all-time most cited scientists (of all time) according to their public profiles in Google Scholar Citations. A list of the 382 entries with an h-index of 100 or larger is here: http://www.webometrics.info/en/node/58 Although these profiles are built on a voluntary basis and it is far from complete, there are at least two very relevant patterns observed immediately: - A number of social scientists in positions of privilege. Some of the deceased ones show that the "impact" of their work endures in time far beyond 2 or 5 years. - The books are achieving in many cases citations exceeding the several thousand, so claiming their value as a tool for scientific communication A not so obvious corollary is the need of increasing the visibility of the output in Social Sciences and Humanities, profiting of the capabilities offered by the Open Access repositories and the social networks. Certainly not because of being under the new altmetrics indicators but to increase the number of citations and to reduce the time delay in the recognition of the contributions. -- ************************************ Isidro F.

Let me just highlight Max Weber: ~ 10th by number of citations (as the founding father of modern sociology, a fitting place), but well below 200th place by h index (and since this ranking is highly incomplete - I'm missing Luhmann and Habermas amongst his colleagues, for example - he'd probably end up in the 300s in a complete ranking). When people are mostly cited for their books, as German sociologists are, their h-index is naturally and severely limited by the number of their publications, not citations.

PROGRAM CHAIRS Karen Cook (Stanford) Santo Fortunato (Aalto University) Michael Macy (Cornell) KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Opening talk by Michael Macy (Cornell) Lada Adamic (Facebook) Sinan Aral (MIT) Albert-Laszlo Barabasi (Northeastern University and CEU) Nicholas Christakis (Yale) Robin Dunbar (Oxford) Andreas Flache (University of Groeningen) Dirk Helbing (ETH Zurich) Matthew Jackson (Stanford) Jure Leskovec (Stanford) Alex Pentland (MIT) Alessandro Vespignani (Northeastern University) Duncan Watts (Microsoft) ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Santo Fortunato (Aalto University), Aristides Gionis (Aalto), Heikki H?mm?inen (Aalto), Kimmo Kaski (Aalto), Walter Quattrociocchi (IMT Lucca), Jari Saram?ki (Aalto), Juuso Valim?ki (Aalto) TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE (but are not limited to) Social networks Social contagion Communication dynamics Information diffusion and other spreading phenomena Social influence Crowd-sourcing Popularity dynamics Smart cities Attention economics Social design and user behavior Group formation, evolution and group behavior analysis Human mobility Mobility and context-awareness Economics of trust SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Contributions to the conference have to be submitted via Easychair (www.easychair.org), the name of the event there is IC2S2. Each submission consists of an extended abstract of max 2 pages (A4). Please give a sufficiently detailed description of your work, put at least one figure, otherwise it will be difficult for the PC to assess its relevance. Short, paper-like abstracts will not be considered. Abstracts do not need to refer to unpublished work. If the work is published or under submission elsewhere it is fine. We want to give to everyone the opportunity to present the most relevant work to the topics of the conference. There will be no proceedings, but we are exploring the possibility of having a special journal issue, where selected contributions will be published. Authors of those contributions would be invited to submit full papers after the conference. Each extended abstract will be reviewed by two PC members. Abstracts can be submitted from September the 15th till November 15th, 2014. We will do our best to have mostly oral presentations of the selected contributions, both plenary and in parallel sessions. However, there will be a poster session as well. During the submission process, you will be asked to specify whether your contribution is intended for a) Plenary session presentation, b) Parallel session presentation or c) Poster session presentation. The final allocation of each contribution will be decided by the Program Committee.

The main goals are the historical reconstruction of scientific development of the OWA field, the identification of the dominant direction of knowledge accumulation that emerged since the publication of the first OWA paper, and to discover the most active lines of research. The results suggest, as expected, that Yager's paper (IEEE Trans. Systems Man Cybernet, 18(1), 183-190, 1988) is the most influential paper and the starting point of all other research using OWA. Starting from his contribution, other lines of research developed and we describe them.

*bibliometric* analysis of plagiarism and self-plagiarism through Deja vu Authors: Garcia-Romero, A; Estrada-Lorenzo, JM Author Full Names: Garcia-Romero, Antonio; Manuel Estrada-Lorenzo, Jose Source: SCIENTOMETRICS, 101 (1):381-396; 10.1007/s11192-014-1387-3 OCT 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Plagiarism, Duplicate publications, Deja vu, Citation analysis KeyWords Plus: SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE; CITATIONS; PUBLICATIONS; MEDLINE; IMPACT Abstract: Plagiarism is one of the most important current debates among scientific stakeholders. A separate but related issue is the use of authors' own ideas in different papers (i.e., self-plagiarism). Opinions on this issue are mixed, and there is a lack of consensus. Our goal was to gain deeper insight into plagiarism and self-plagiarism through a citation analysis of documents involved in these situations. The Deja vu database, which comprises around 80,000 duplicate records, was used to select 247 pairs of documents that had been examined by curators on a full text basis following a stringent protocol. We then used the Scopus database to perform a citation analysis of the selected documents. For each document pair, we used specific bibliometric indicators, such as the number of authors, full text similarity, journal *impact factor*, the Eigenfactor, and article influence. Our results confirm that cases of plagiarism are published in journals with lower visibility and thus tend to receive fewer citations. Moreover, full text similarity was significantly higher in cases of plagiarism than in cases of self-plagiarism. Among pairs of documents with shared authors, duplicates not citing the original document showed higher full text similarity than those citing the original document, and also showed greater overlap in the references cited in the two documents.

Source: SCIENTOMETRICS, 101 (1):505-525; 10.1007/s11192-014-1326-3 OCT 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Research evaluation, Bibliometrics, h-index, Civil engineering, Seniority, Academic rank, Economic crisis KeyWords Plus: AUTHOR SELF-CITATIONS; H-INDEX; RESEARCH OUTPUT; INDICATORS; UNIVERSITIES Abstract: Quality evaluation and its assurance in higher education institutions constitute an obligation and scope of most European Universities. To accomplish this, quantitative indices, known as bibliometrics, are recruited which are considered a useful evaluation tool particularly for academics' and Universities' research performance. In the present study, the research quality of the five Greek civil engineering departments (Athens, Patras, Thessaloniki, Volos, Xanthi) is assessed by means of several advanced bibliometric indices calculated separately for each academic. Statistical analysis of the data is also performed to compare the observed differences in the mean values of the calculated indices. The study is conducted both in department and academic rank level to explore how research activity is distributed among the various ranks. In addition, to evaluate the research status of the Greek departments in the European context, their research output is compared with that of London civil engineering department. To explore the dependence of bibliometrics on seniority, bibliometric analysis considering the research activity of all academics only during the last decade is also made. Finally, the temporal progress of the research productivity leads to interesting findings about the impact of the European economic crisis on research performance. In general, bibliometrics demonstrate that Patras department host academics of better quality, but Athens exhibits higher scientific activity over the last decade. Superiority of London department is evident but few bibliometrics are comparable with the ones of the Greek departments. Results also indicate that no common standards in hiring/promotion of academics are established, while the European socio-economic crisis has significant negative impact on research productivity.

However, the only widely adopted journal assessment method is known as *impact factor* (IF), which focuses on citations in academic journals. However, IF disregards the technological applications and value of academic journals. In this article, we propose a method to rank academic journals that utilizes non-patent references in patent documents. We also compare the differences between journal rankings derived by using IF with those derived from the Intellectual Property Citation Index (IPCI) across different fields; moreover, some fields contain positive and significant correlations between IF and the IPCI. The results of this study offer a new perspective from which to assess the technological value of academic journals, particularly those in the technological and scientific fields. This study considers linkages among science and technology and the needs of the stakeholders in journal assessment to shed light on journal assessment and journal ranking methods.

The author tries to answer to this question through an exploratory analysis of the impact of these tragic events on the research outputs of scientists, institutions and countries. In particular, this report provides a wide range of scientometric data related to terrorism studies over the world during the two decades from 1991 to 2011. After the September 11, 2001 events (9/11) in the United States, the concerned academicians have responded in a way that they started producing an increasing number of research publications, as if they were under the influence of some kind of a driving force, stimulating the overall academic production linked to this tragic event. However, after this trend has reached its peak in 2002, that driving force has visibly weakened, and since the mid 2000's, the number of research publication in the field of terrorism studies has steadily decreased. Nonetheless, the number of terrorist events per year, along with the property damage and fatality rate, has continuously increased over the observed lapse of time. Using these results as a backdrop, in this paper is argued that the field of terrorism research should be explored from a critical and multi-cultural perspective, and that all scientific researchers should remain objective, for scientific research is to be independent from political systems, its contingent events in any form, and the transitory historical circumstances.

However, as attested by scientific literature, few systematic, synthesizing, and visualizing studies have been found on LCA research which show how this field has evolved over time. The goal of this mainly bibliometric, empirical study is to get insight into publication performance of global LCA research, characterize its intellectual structure, and trace its evolution by using the bibliometric method with visual mapping. Based on the data from the ISI Web of Science databases Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science (CPCI-S) and Conference Proceedings Citation Index -Social Science & Humanities (CPCI-SSH) in the period of 1998-2013, bibliometric methods are used to investigate general development profiles of LCA research, while knowledge domain visualization technologies are employed to conduct a further co-citation analysis. The results and discussions of this research mainly shed light on (1) basic statistics of significant publication performances, (2) research focuses and their intellectual base in LCA research, (3) how the streams of research evolved during the whole period of interest. A new work on systematic and synthesizing study is conducted in this research to evaluate and map LCA research-related context. Some salient scholarly journals and institutions are identified that have shown a significant impact during the exponential growth of LCA research in the past 16 years. Biofuel, process design, solid waste management, and livestock production-related LCA researches are the main areas where interest is surging, confirmed by the active citers in each specialty. Furthermore, from the perspective of science mapping, evolution of LCA research is traced and some pivot publications are identified, which work as structural holes for the LCA-research development in the given time window.

The goal of this search is to check whether the idea in the patent application is novel. Vocabulary mismatch is one of the main problems of patent retrieval which results in low retrievability of similar documents for a given patent application. In this paper we show how the term distribution of the cited documents in an initially retrieved ranked list can be used to address the vocabulary mismatch. We propose a method for query modeling estimation which utilizes the citation links in a pseudo relevance feedback set. We first build a topic dependent citation graph, starting from the initially retrieved set of feedback documents and utilizing citation links of feedback documents to expand the set. We identify the important documents in the topic dependent citation graph using a citation analysis measure. We then use the term distribution of the documents in the citation graph to estimate a query model by identifying the distinguishing terms and their respective weights. We then use these terms to expand our original query. We use CLEF-IP 2011 collection to evaluate the effectiveness of our query modeling approach for prior art search. We also study the influence of different parameters on the performance of the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves the recall over a state-of-the-art baseline which uses the link-based structure of the citation graph but not the term distribution of the cited documents.

These measures can in turn be used to determine an author's overall prominence in the corpus and to identify distinct schools of thought. We apply our methods to two major historical corpora. Using scholarly consensus as a gold standard, we demonstrate empirically the superiority of indirect influence over direct influence as a basis for various measures of authorial impact.

The purpose of this article is to analyse the lack of accuracy of titles in articles on bibliometrics published in biomedical journals and to discuss the effect this may have on the reader. A corpus of 1,505 titles included in PubMed and Web of Science between 2009 and 2011 and retrieved under the MeSH major topic "bibliometrics" and other related terms was analyzed. Different types of inaccuracy were identified and a classification was developed and used for this particular study. 23.4 % of the titles contain inaccuracies of some kind. Editorial titles show a higher percentage of these (11.43 %) than original articles (8.83 %) and letters (3.2 %), the most frequent being the inclusion of a question in the title (seen in 30.9 % of the papers), followed by vague and imprecise expressions (17.8 %), acronyms (16.4 %) and double meanings (14 %). Many titles fail to comply with the conventions of scientific writing. A descriptive title accurately reflecting the content of an article would give readers a better idea of its content, help them to decide more rapidly whether they want to read it and facilitate retrieval from bibliographic databases.

The study uses a micro-analysis of informetrics researchers from 5,417 informetrics papers published in 7 core informetrics journals during 1948-2012. The most productive informetrics researchers were analysed in terms of productivity, citation impact, and co-authorship. The 30 most productive informetrics researchers of all time span several generations and seem to be usually the primary authors of their research, highly collaborative, affiliated with one institution at a time, and often affiliated with a few core European centres. Their research usually has a high total citation impact but not the highest citation impact per paper. Perhaps surprisingly, the US does not seem to be good at producing highly productive researchers but is successful at producing high impact researchers. Although there are exceptions to all of the patterns found, researchers wishing to have the best chance of being part of the next generation of highly productive informetricians may wish to emulate some of these characteristics.

Authors: Dyachenko, EL Author Full Names: Dyachenko, Ekaterina L. Source: SCIENTOMETRICS, 101 (1):241-255; 10.1007/s11192-014-1357-9 OCT 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Scientometrics, Web of Science, Sociology, Economics, Political science KeyWords Plus: HUMANITIES; COVERAGE; OUTPUT; IMPACT Abstract: In this study we compare internationalization of academic journals in six fields of science. Internationalization was investigated through journals' concentration on publishing papers from particular countries, relationship between the geographical distributions of editors and authors, and relationship between language of publication and the geographical distribution of papers. Having analyzed more than 1,000 journals we can state that social sciences literature in the fields considered is still nationally and linguistically fragmented more than natural sciences literature, but in some cases the gap is not so big. One of the consequences concerning research output assessment is that usefulness of international databases having national disparity in coverage is still limited in social sciences.

It presents the general characteristics (age, type of publisher, and theme) and analyzes the distribution model by studying the type of format (print or digital), the type of access (open access or subscription), and the technology platform used. The 549 journals analyzed (249 in Brazil and 300 in Spain) are included in the 2011 Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. Data on each journal were collected directly from their websites between March and October 2012. Brazil has a fully open access distribution model (97%) in which few journals require payment by authors thanks to cultural, financial, operational, and technological support provided by public agencies. In Spain, open access journals account for 55% of the total and have also received support from public agencies, although to a lesser extent. These results show that there are systems support of open access in scientific journals other than the author pays model advocated by the Finch report for the United Kingdom.

We have provided meaningful indicators to measure the research performance of Chinese universities as compared to world class universities of the US and the European region. Using these indicators, we first measure the quantity and quality of the research outcomes of the universities and then examine the internationalization of research by using international collaborations, international citations and international impact metrics. Using all of this data, we finally present an overall score called research performance point to measure the comprehensive research strength of the universities for the selected subject categories. The comparison identifies the gap between Chinese universities and top-tier universities from selected regions across various subject areas. We find that Chinese universities are doing well in terms of publication volume but receive less citations from their published work. We also find that the Chinese universities have relative low percentage of publications at high impact venues, which may be the reason that they are not receiving more citations. Therefore, a careful selection of publication venues may help the Chinese universities to compete with world class universities and increase their research internationalization.

We conducted a research productivity analysis and citation analysis of individuals, institutions, and countries based on 610 peer-reviewed social media articles published in journals and conference proceedings between October 2004 and December 2011. Results indicate that research productivity is exploding and that several leading authors, institutions, countries, and a small set of foundational papers have emerged. Based on the results-indicating that the social media domain displays limited diversity and is still heavily influenced by practitioners-the paper raises two fundamental challenges facing the social media domain and its future advancement, namely the lack of academic maturity and the Matthew Effect.

The objective of this study was to use currently accepted formulations of Bradford's law to identify core journals of pediatric neurosurgery. An additional analysis was completed to compare regional dependence on citation density among North American and European neurosurgeons. All original research publications from 2009 to 2013 were analyzed for the 25 top publishing pediatric neurosurgeons in North America and Europe, which were sampled to construct regional citation databases of all journal references. Regional differences were compared with each database. Egghe's formulation and the verbal formulation of Bradford's law were applied to create specific citation density zones and identify the core journals. Regional comparison demonstrated a preference for the Journal of Neurosurgery and Child's Nervous System, respectively, but four of the top five journals were common to both groups. Applying the verbal formulation of Bradford's law to the North American citation database, a pattern of citation density was identified across the first three zones. Journals residing in the most highly cited first zone are presented as the core journals. Bradford's law can be applied to identify the core journals of neurosurgical subspecialties. While regional differences exist between the most highly cited and most frequently published in journals among North American and European pediatric neurosurgeons, there is commonality between the top five core journals in both groups.

Authors: Leydesdorff, L; Park, HW; Wagner, C Author Full Names: Leydesdorff, Loet; Park, Han Woo; Wagner, Caroline Source: JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 65 (10):2111-2126; 10.1002/asi.23102 OCT 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: evaluation, social sciences KeyWords Plus: PEARSONS CORRELATION-COEFFICIENT; SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION; HUMANITIES; PATTERNS; INDICATORS Abstract: International coauthorship relations have increasingly shaped another dynamic in the natural and life sciences during recent decades. However, much less is known about such internationalization in the social sciences. In this study, we analyze international and domestic coauthorship relations of all citable items in the DVD version of the Social Sciences Citation Index 2011 (SSCI). Network statistics indicate 4 groups of nations: (a) an Asian-Pacific one to which all Anglo-Saxon nations (including the United Kingdom and Ireland) are attributed, (b) a continental European one including also the Latin-American countries, (c) the Scandinavian nations, and (d) a community of African nations. Within the EU-28, 11 of the EU-15 states have dominant positions. In many respects, the network parameters are not so different from the Science Citation Index. In addition to these descriptive statistics, we address the question of the relative weights of the international versus domestic networks. An information-theoretical test is proposed at the level of organizational addresses within each nation; the results are mixed, but the international dimension is more important than the national one in the aggregated sets (as in the Science Citation Index). In some countries (e.g., France), however, the national distribution is leading more than the international one. Decomposition of the United States in terms of states shows a similarly mixed result; more U.S. states are domestically oriented in the SSCI and more internationally in the SCI. The international networks have grown during the last decades in addition to the national ones but not by replacing them.

The aim of this review is to contribute with objective facts about the usefulness of bibliometric indicators of the effects of publication activity at the individual level. This paper reviews 108 indicators that can potentially be used to measure performance on individual author-level, and examines the complexity of their calculations in relation to what they are supposed to reflect and ease of end-user application. As such we provide a schematic overview of author-level indicators, where the indicators are broadly categorised into indicators of publication count, indicators that qualify output (on the level of the researcher and journal), indicators of the effect of output (effect as citations, citations normalized to field or the researcher's body of work), indicators that rank the individual's work and indicators of impact over time. Supported by an extensive appendix we present how the indicators are computed, the complexity of the mathematical calculation and demands to data-collection, their advantages and limitations as well as references to surrounding discussion in the bibliometric community. The Appendix supporting this study is available online as supplementary material. Addresses: [Wildgaard, Lorna] Royal Sch Lib & Informat Sci, DK-2300 Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Republic of Serbia is a small country in Europe with about seven million citizens that became an independent country in 2006. Since 2006, Serbian science has achieved some recognition. Analysis included 14,293 articles with authors all from Serbia. Distribution of published articles in the Web of Science categories, journals, scientific-research institutions and researchers were analysed. Most cited independent research articles from Serbia were also analysed. The Y-index indicator for rating the productivity of researchers and institutions was used. This indicator takes into account the contribution of the researcher to the published results. The results showed that the productivity of articles from Serbia is significant compared to neighbouring Serbian countries, taking into account the number of researchers in these countries, their GDPs and the percentages of GDPs spent on research.

The goal of this study is identifying its main research areas, understanding its current state of development and suggesting potential future directions, by analyzing the co-citations from 181 papers published between 1992 and 2011 in the most influential academic journals. Five main clusters have been identified, mapped, and labeled as follows: Economics of patent system, technological and institutional capabilities, university patenting, intellectual property exploitation, and division of labor. Their most active areas on this topic, and the most influential and co-cited papers have been identified and described. Also, intra- and inter-cluster knowledge base diversity has been assessed by using indicators stemming from the domains of information theory and biology. A t test has been performed to assess the significance of the inter-cluster diversity. The knowledge bases of these five clusters are significantly diverse, this meaning that they are five co-existing paradigms.

This paper performed a bibliometric analysis on rural geography studies based on the peer-reviewed articles concerning rural geography published in the SSCI-listed journals from 1990 to 2012. Our analysis examines publication patterns (document types and publishing languages, article outputs and their categories, major journals and their publication, most productive authors, geographic distribution and international collaboration) and demonstrates the evolution of intellectual development of rural geography by studying highly cited papers and their citation networks and temporal evolution of keywords. Our research findings include: The article number has been increasing since the 1900s, and went through three phases, and the rural geography research is dominated in size by UK and USA. The USA is the most productive in rural geography, but the UK had more impact than other countries in the terms of the average citation of articles. Three distinct but loosely linked research streams of rural geography were identified and predominated by the UK rural geographers. The keywords frequencies evolved according to contexts of rural development and academic advances of human geography, but they were loosely and scattered since the rural researches in different regions or different systems faced with different problems.

Instead of sharing casual thoughts and photos (as in Facebook), authors select co-authors and reference papers written by other authors. Thanks to various efforts (such as Microsoft Academic Search and DBLP), the data necessary for analyzing the academic social network is becoming more available on the Internet. What type of information and queries would be useful for users to discover, beyond the search queries already available from services such as Google Scholar? In this paper, we explore this question by defining a variety of ranking metrics on different entities-authors, publication venues, and institutions. We go beyond traditional metrics such as paper counts, citations, and h-index. Specifically, we define metrics such as influence, connections, and exposure for authors. An author gains influence by receiving more citations, but also citations from influential authors. An author increases his or her connections by co-authoring with other authors, and especially from other authors with high connections. An author receives exposure by publishing in selective venues where publications have received high citations in the past, and the selectivity of these venues also depends on the influence of the authors who publish there. We discuss the computation aspects of these metrics, and the similarity between different metrics. With additional information of author-institution relationships, we are able to study institution rankings based on the corresponding authors' rankings for each type of metric as well as different domains. We are prepared to demonstrate these ideas with a web site (http://pubstat.org) built from millions of publications and authors. Addresses: [Fu, Tom Z.

Recently, while many researchers have adopted generative probabilistic models for topic detection and tracking, few have compared generative probabilistic models with traditional cocitation and co-word methods in terms of their overall performance. In this article, we compare the performance of hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP), a promising generative probabilistic model, with that of the 2 traditional topic detecting and tracking methodscocitation analysis and co-word analysis. We visualize and explore the relationships between topics identified by the 3 methods in hierarchical edge bundling graphs and time flow graphs. Our result shows that HDP is more sensitive and reliable than the other 2 methods in both detecting and tracking emerging topics. Furthermore, we demonstrate the important topics and topic evolution trends in the literature of terrorism research with the HDP method.

Data from January 1, 1996 till December 31, 2012 were searched for documents with specific words in diabetes as a "source title" and a list of 13 MEA countries as affiliation country. Research productivity was evaluated based on number of publications, citation analysis, indexing in Institute for Scientific Information and *impact factor* (IF). The 13 MEA countries published a total of 479 documents in 41 diabetes journals. This number represents 0.75 % of the total documents produced globally in the field of DM. The number of published documents increased by around fivefold from early 2000 to 2012. Of the 41 journal titles retrieved, 24 (58.5 %) had their IF listed in the journal citation reports 2012. Forty-two documents (14.5 %) were published in journals that had no official IF. The total number of citations for documents published from MEA countries in the field of DM, at the time of data analysis, was 5,565 with an h index of 35. The median (inter-quartile range) citation for documents from the 13 MEA countries was 4 (1-11). The top productive institution in the field of DM was United Arab Emirates University with 51 documents (10.6 %). Authors from MEA countries collaborated mostly with authors in countries like United Kingdom, USA, and Germany. The present data show promising and relatively good diabetes research productivity in MEA countries especially after 2008.

Although some scholars have taken advantage of these new online opportunities, it is not clear how widespread their uptake is or how much impact they can have. This study assesses the extent to which successful scientists have social web presences, focusing on one influential group: highly cited researchers working at European institutions. It also assesses the impact of these presences. We manually and systematically identified if the European highly cited researchers had profiles in Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, Mendeley, Academia and LinkedIn or any content in SlideShare. We then used URL mentions and altmetric indicators to assess the impact of the web presences found. Although most of the scientists had an institutional website of some kind, few had created a profile in any social website investigated, and LinkedIn-the only non-academic site in the list-was the most popular. Scientists having one kind of social web profile were more likely to have another in many cases, especially in the life sciences and engineering. In most cases it was possible to estimate the relative impact of the profiles using a readily available statistic and there were disciplinary differences in the impact of the different kinds of profiles. Most social web profiles had some evidence of uptake, if not impact; nevertheless, the value of the indicators used is unclear.

While their content and structure differ substantially, there exist only informal notions on their reliability. Here we compare the topological consistency of citation networks extracted from six popular bibliographic databases including Web of Science, CiteSeer and arXiv.org. The networks are assessed through a rich set of local and global graph statistics. We first reveal statistically significant inconsistencies between some of the databases with respect to individual statistics. For example, the introduced field bow-tie decomposition of DBLP Computer Science Bibliography substantially differs from the rest due to the coverage of the database, while the citation information within arXiv.org is the most exhaustive. Finally, we compare the databases over multiple graph statistics using the critical difference diagram. The citation topology of DBLP Computer Science Bibliography is the least consistent with the rest, while, not surprisingly, Web of Science is significantly more reliable from the perspective of consistency. This work can serve either as a reference for scholars in bibliometrics and scientometrics or a scientific evaluation guideline for governments and research agencies.

The carbonaceous fine PM solicitation resulted in 16 different projects focusing on the measurement methods, source identification, and exploration of the chemical and physical processes important for PM2.5 carbon in the atmosphere. The source apportionment funding opportunity led to 11 projects improving tools and characterization of source-receptor relationships of PM2.5. Many funding mechanisms include a final synopsis of funded research and published manuscripts. Here, this evaluation is extended to include citations of research published as part of these solicitations. These solicitations resulted in 275 publications that included more than 850 unique authors in 37 different journals with a weighted average 2011 *impact factor* of 4.21. At the time of this assessment, these publications have been cited by 13 612 peer review journal articles with 31 (11%) of the manuscripts being cited over 100 times.

Methods and Results-We systematically identified observational studies and clinical trials of radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation between 1990 and 2012. Generalized Poisson regression was used to estimate association between study success rate and total citation count, adjusting for sample size, journal *impact factor*, time since publication, study design, and whether first or last author was a consensus-defined pre-eminent expert. We identified 174 articles meeting our inclusion criteria (36 289 subjects). After adjustment only for time since publication, a 10-point increase above the mean in pooled reported success rates was associated with a 17.8% increase in citation count at 5 years postpublication (95% confidence interval, 7.1-28.4%; P<0.001). After additional adjustment for *impact factor*, sample size, randomized trial design, and pre-eminent expert authorship, the association remained significant (18.6% increase in citation count; 95% confidence interval, 7.6-29.6%; P<0.0001). In this full model, time since publication, *impact factor*, and pre-eminent expert authorship were significant covariates, whereas randomized control trial design and study sample size were not. Conclusions-Among studies of radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, high success rate was independently associated with citation count, which may indicate citation bias. To readers of the literature, radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation could be perceived to be more effective than the data supports. These findings may have implications for a wide variety of novel cardiovascular therapies. Addresses: [Perino, Alexander C.] Vet Affairs Palo Alto Hlth Care Syst, Dept Med, Palo Alto, CA USA.

A dataset was constructed using all publications and citations retrieved from four key journals that publish creativity research: Journal of Creative Behavior (JCB), Gifted Child Quarterly (GCQ), Creativity Research Journal (CRJ), and Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts (PACA). Major findings in this study include: (a) During the study period, the four journals have published 1,891 articles on creativity and they have been cited 11,709 times; (b) the impact factors of the four journals increased from lower than .50 in 2002 to over 1.0 in 2012; in 2012 PACA had the highest *impact factor*, followed by CRJ; (c) JCB published the most creativity papers and CRJ had the most citations; (d) about a third of the articles published in the four journals have never been cited. Implications for the field of creativity are discussed. Addresses: [Long, Haiying] Florida Int Univ, Miami, FL 33199 USA. [Plucker, Jonathan A.; Kaufman, James C.] Univ Connecticut, Storrs, CT USA.

The current study addresses this gap in research by investigating patterns of reciprocity (i.e., correspondences between patterns of recommendations received by authors and patterns of recommendations given by reviewers in the same social group) by perceived gender and ethnicity of reviewers and authors for submissions to the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology from June 2009 to May 2011. The degree of reciprocity for each social group was examined by employing Monte Carlo resampling to extrapolate more robust patterns from the limited data available. We found that papers with female authors received more negative reviews than reviews for male authors. Reciprocity was suggested by the fact that female reviewers gave lower reviews than male reviewers. Reciprocity was also exhibited by ethnicity, although non-Western reviewers gave disproportionately more recommendations of major revision, while non-Western authors tended to receive more outright rejections. This study provides a novel theoretical and methodological basis for future studies on reciprocity in peer review.

To accomplish this, quantitative indices, known as bibliometrics, are recruited which are considered a useful evaluation tool particularly for academics' and Universities' research performance. In the present study, the research quality of the five Greek civil engineering departments (Athens, Patras, Thessaloniki, Volos, Xanthi) is assessed by means of several advanced bibliometric indices calculated separately for each academic. Statistical analysis of the data is also performed to compare the observed differences in the mean values of the calculated indices. The study is conducted both in department and academic rank level to explore how research activity is distributed among the various ranks. In addition, to evaluate the research status of the Greek departments in the European context, their research output is compared with that of London civil engineering department. To explore the dependence of bibliometrics on seniority, bibliometric analysis considering the research activity of all academics only during the last decade is also made. Finally, the temporal progress of the research productivity leads to interesting findings about the impact of the European economic crisis on research performance. In general, bibliometrics demonstrate that Patras department host academics of better quality, but Athens exhibits higher scientific activity over the last decade. Superiority of London department is evident but few bibliometrics are comparable with the ones of the Greek departments. Results also indicate that no common standards in hiring/promotion of academics are established, while the European socio-economic crisis has significant negative impact on research productivity.

However, as attested by scientific literature, few systematic, synthesizing, and visualizing studies have been found on LCA research which show how this field has evolved over time. The goal of this mainly bibliometric, empirical study is to get insight into publication performance of global LCA research, characterize its intellectual structure, and trace its evolution by using the bibliometric method with visual mapping. Based on the data from the ISI Web of Science databases Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science (CPCI-S) and Conference Proceedings Citation Index -Social Science & Humanities (CPCI-SSH) in the period of 1998-2013, bibliometric methods are used to investigate general development profiles of LCA research, while knowledge domain visualization technologies are employed to conduct a further co-citation analysis. The results and discussions of this research mainly shed light on (1) basic statistics of significant publication performances, (2) research focuses and their intellectual base in LCA research, (3) how the streams of research evolved during the whole period of interest. A new work on systematic and synthesizing study is conducted in this research to evaluate and map LCA research-related context. Some salient scholarly journals and institutions are identified that have shown a significant impact during the exponential growth of LCA research in the past 16 years. Biofuel, process design, solid waste management, and livestock production-related LCA researches are the main areas where interest is surging, confirmed by the active citers in each specialty. Furthermore, from the perspective of science mapping, evolution of LCA research is traced and some pivot publications are identified, which work as structural holes for the LCA-research development in the given time window.

These measures can in turn be used to determine an author's overall prominence in the corpus and to identify distinct schools of thought. We apply our methods to two major historical corpora. Using scholarly consensus as a gold standard, we demonstrate empirically the superiority of indirect influence over direct influence as a basis for various measures of authorial impact.

We conducted a research productivity analysis and citation analysis of individuals, institutions, and countries based on 610 peer-reviewed social media articles published in journals and conference proceedings between October 2004 and December 2011. Results indicate that research productivity is exploding and that several leading authors, institutions, countries, and a small set of foundational papers have emerged. Based on the results-indicating that the social media domain displays limited diversity and is still heavily influenced by practitioners-the paper raises two fundamental challenges facing the social media domain and its future advancement, namely the lack of academic maturity and the Matthew Effect.

The objective of this study was to use currently accepted formulations of Bradford's law to identify core journals of pediatric neurosurgery. An additional analysis was completed to compare regional dependence on citation density among North American and European neurosurgeons. All original research publications from 2009 to 2013 were analyzed for the 25 top publishing pediatric neurosurgeons in North America and Europe, which were sampled to construct regional citation databases of all journal references. Regional differences were compared with each database. Egghe's formulation and the verbal formulation of Bradford's law were applied to create specific citation density zones and identify the core journals. Regional comparison demonstrated a preference for the Journal of Neurosurgery and Child's Nervous System, respectively, but four of the top five journals were common to both groups. Applying the verbal formulation of Bradford's law to the North American citation database, a pattern of citation density was identified across the first three zones. Journals residing in the most highly cited first zone are presented as the core journals. Bradford's law can be applied to identify the core journals of neurosurgical subspecialties. While regional differences exist between the most highly cited and most frequently published in journals among North American and European pediatric neurosurgeons, there is commonality between the top five core journals in both groups.

The aim of this review is to contribute with objective facts about the usefulness of bibliometric indicators of the effects of publication activity at the individual level. This paper reviews 108 indicators that can potentially be used to measure performance on individual author-level, and examines the complexity of their calculations in relation to what they are supposed to reflect and ease of end-user application. As such we provide a schematic overview of author-level indicators, where the indicators are broadly categorised into indicators of publication count, indicators that qualify output (on the level of the researcher and journal), indicators of the effect of output (effect as citations, citations normalized to field or the researcher's body of work), indicators that rank the individual's work and indicators of impact over time. Supported by an extensive appendix we present how the indicators are computed, the complexity of the mathematical calculation and demands to data-collection, their advantages and limitations as well as references to surrounding discussion in the bibliometric community. The Appendix supporting this study is available online as supplementary material. Addresses: [Wildgaard, Lorna] Royal Sch Lib & Informat Sci, DK-2300 Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Republic of Serbia is a small country in Europe with about seven million citizens that became an independent country in 2006. Since 2006, Serbian science has achieved some recognition. Analysis included 14,293 articles with authors all from Serbia. Distribution of published articles in the Web of Science categories, journals, scientific-research institutions and researchers were analysed. Most cited independent research articles from Serbia were also analysed. The Y-index indicator for rating the productivity of researchers and institutions was used. This indicator takes into account the contribution of the researcher to the published results. The results showed that the productivity of articles from Serbia is significant compared to neighbouring Serbian countries, taking into account the number of researchers in these countries, their GDPs and the percentages of GDPs spent on research.

The goal of this study is identifying its main research areas, understanding its current state of development and suggesting potential future directions, by analyzing the co-citations from 181 papers published between 1992 and 2011 in the most influential academic journals. Five main clusters have been identified, mapped, and labeled as follows: Economics of patent system, technological and institutional capabilities, university patenting, intellectual property exploitation, and division of labor. Their most active areas on this topic, and the most influential and co-cited papers have been identified and described. Also, intra- and inter-cluster knowledge base diversity has been assessed by using indicators stemming from the domains of information theory and biology. A t test has been performed to assess the significance of the inter-cluster diversity. The knowledge bases of these five clusters are significantly diverse, this meaning that they are five co-existing paradigms.

Transnational Insights into Epistemological and Methodological Approaches to Strategic Management Research in English-Speaking Countries Authors: Pilkington, A; Lawton, TC Author Full Names: Pilkington, Alan; Lawton, Thomas C. Source: LONG RANGE PLANNING, 47 (5):299-311; 10.1016/j.lrp.2013.08.001 OCT 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: AUTHOR COCITATION ANALYSIS; RESOURCE-BASED VIEW; INTELLECTUAL STRUCTURE; COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE; DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES; CITATION/CO-CITATION; INFORMATION-SCIENCE; CONSUMER RESEARCH; FIRM; KNOWLEDGE Abstract: In this study, we examine what is important to strategic management researchers in different countries and investigate whether or not there is a demarcation between North American-based scholars and those established elsewhere in the native English-speaking world. We advance data in support of the argument that there is a difference of approach to strategic management research between scholars and leading journals based in North America (USA and Anglophone Canada), compared with the rest of the world. We further argue that this has implications for strategic management teaching and practice. Our analysis of strategy research in the leading journals of the strategic and general management field found that - at a methodological level - North American-based scholars and journals have a quantitative, statistically-driven partiality, whereas scholars and journals based elsewhere in the English-speaking world favor qualitative, case-based research. At an epistemological level, North American research displays a managerialist inclination, concerned with improving the management of organizations. In contrast, research conducted in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the UK in particular exhibits a sociological partiality, interested in scrutinizing organizational meaning and social interactions. The implications may be evidenced in a more critical perspective on general management development and practice in these countries, and a performance optimizing approach in North America.

The results indicate that the larger the number of web pages indexing a particular scholar, the higher the minimum speaking fee. Invitations to speak at a TED event, or making the New York Times Best Seller list is also positively correlated with speaking fees. Scholars with a stronger internal impact or success also achieve higher speaking fees. However, once external impact is controlled, most metrics used to measure internal impact are no longer statistically significant.

Instead of sharing casual thoughts and photos (as in Facebook), authors select co-authors and reference papers written by other authors. Thanks to various efforts (such as Microsoft Academic Search and DBLP), the data necessary for analyzing the academic social network is becoming more available on the Internet. What type of information and queries would be useful for users to discover, beyond the search queries already available from services such as Google Scholar? In this paper, we explore this question by defining a variety of ranking metrics on different entities-authors, publication venues, and institutions. We go beyond traditional metrics such as paper counts, citations, and h-index. Specifically, we define metrics such as influence, connections, and exposure for authors. An author gains influence by receiving more citations, but also citations from influential authors. An author increases his or her connections by co-authoring with other authors, and especially from other authors with high connections. An author receives exposure by publishing in selective venues where publications have received high citations in the past, and the selectivity of these venues also depends on the influence of the authors who publish there. We discuss the computation aspects of these metrics, and the similarity between different metrics. With additional information of author-institution relationships, we are able to study institution rankings based on the corresponding authors' rankings for each type of metric as well as different domains. We are prepared to demonstrate these ideas with a web site (http://pubstat.org) built from millions of publications and authors. Addresses: [Fu, Tom Z.

Co-word analysis was applied to identify the main concepts addressed in this research field. Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to cluster the keywords and a strategic diagram was created to analyze trends. The data set comprised a corpus containing 652 articles and reviews published between 1991 and 2012, extracted from the Thomson Reuters Web of Science database. In order to see how the results changed over time, documents were grouped into three different periods: 1991-2001, 2002-2007, and 2008-2012. The results showed that the number of themes has increased significantly over the years and that gender differences in higher education and science have been considered by specific research disciplines, suggesting important research-field-specific variations. Overall, the study helps to identify the major research topics in this domain, as well as highlighting issues to be addressed or strengthened in further work.

Based on the index of extensity centrality, we propose a new index and name it extensity centrality-Newman (Cext-N). Drawing upon a data set of three top journals (MISQ, ISR, JMIS) between 2010 and 2012 in Information Systems, we verify and describe the application and value of our approach. Due to the fact that the starting points among Cext-N and classical indices are quite different and a single index is not advocated in scientific evaluation, we can select the indices in actual application by considering their starting points to ensure the value of each index is taken into account.

To this end, we conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis by harvesting bibliographic information from DBLP, PubMed Central, and Web of Science. We then measure and compare topological characteristics of networks generated using these sources. The results show a dichotomous pattern dominated by PubMed Central and WoS. In addition, a few influential scientists in the field of bioinformatics receive very high citations from their colleagues, which is a driving force to bloom the field. These few scientists are connected to a much larger research community. Most of the researchers are intellectually linked within a few steps, in spite of the domain's interdisciplinary characteristics. Particularly, influential authors consist of a small world. We also identify that there is not a coherent body of discipline in bioinformatics since the field is still under development. Finally, the journals and conferences indexed by each source cover different research topics, and PubMed Central is more inclusive than DBLP as an indexing database.

Most knowledge-intensive organizations seek to create new spaces for collaborations through formally prescribed departments and divisions or through serendipitous, emergent, informal associations (i.e., the formal and informal organization). However, organizations also strategically manage what we call the "semiformal organization" to guide the creation of new work relations and encourage innovation. These secondary memberships are organizationally sponsored and directly related to the organizations' core research functions, but they are voluntarily joined. As such, they are distinct from formal and informal memberships. On the basis of extensive longitudinal analyses of research initiatives at Stanford University, we find that the semiformal organization provides a compelling channel through which organizations can shape employees' collaborations and overall productivity.

We conducted a research productivity analysis and citation analysis of individuals, institutions, and countries based on 610 peer-reviewed social media articles published in journals and conference proceedings between October 2004 and December 2011. Results indicate that research productivity is exploding and that several leading authors, institutions, countries, and a small set of foundational papers have emerged. Based on the results-indicating that the social media domain displays limited diversity and is still heavily influenced by practitioners-the paper raises two fundamental challenges facing the social media domain and its future advancement, namely the lack of academic maturity and the Matthew Effect.

We select 33 bioinformatics related conferences indexed in DBLP from 2000 to 2011. The major reason for choosing DBLP as the data source instead of PubMed is that DBLP retains most bioinformatics related conferences, and to study dynamics of the field, conference papers are more suitable than journal papers. We divide a period of a dozen years into four periods: period 1 (2000-2002), period 2 (2003-2005), period 3 (2006-2008) and period 4 (2009-2011). To conduct topic evolution analysis, we employ three major procedures, and for each procedure, we develop the following novel technique: the Markov Random Field-based topic clustering, automatic cluster labeling, and topic similarity based on Within-Period Cluster Similarity and Between-Period Cluster Similarity. The experimental results show that there are distinct topic transition patterns between different time periods. From period 1 to period 3, new topics seem to have emerged and expanded, whereas from period 3 to period 4, topics are merged and display more rigorous interaction with each other. This trend is confirmed by the collaboration pattern over time. Addresses: [Song, Min; Heo, Go Eun; Kim, Su Yeon] Yonsei Univ, Dept Lib & Informat Sci, Seoul 120749, South Korea.

The goal of this study is identifying its main research areas, understanding its current state of development and suggesting potential future directions, by analyzing the co-citations from 181 papers published between 1992 and 2011 in the most influential academic journals. Five main clusters have been identified, mapped, and labeled as follows: Economics of patent system, technological and institutional capabilities, university patenting, intellectual property exploitation, and division of labor. Their most active areas on this topic, and the most influential and co-cited papers have been identified and described. Also, intra- and inter-cluster knowledge base diversity has been assessed by using indicators stemming from the domains of information theory and biology. A t test has been performed to assess the significance of the inter-cluster diversity. The knowledge bases of these five clusters are significantly diverse, this meaning that they are five co-existing paradigms.

An analysis of the regional distribution of the affiliations of Nature publications Authors: Bogocz, J; Bak, A; Polanski, J Author Full Names: Bogocz, Jacek; Bak, Andrzej; Polanski, Jaroslaw Source: SCIENTOMETRICS, 101 (1):547-568; 10.1007/s11192-014-1252-4 OCT 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Nature publications, Academic Ranking of World Universities, Matthew Effect, Higher education expenditures KeyWords Plus: SCIENCE; ECONOMISTS Abstract: Nature is among the world's most highly cited multidisciplinary science journals with one of the highest impact factors of 38.597 (Nature Publishing Group (NPG) 2013), which is used relatively often in many scientific rankings. When analysing the regional distribution of Nature publications, we found a high correlation between the expenditures and the number of local affiliations that are counted on a national basis. The same regularity can be observed for the world's top 30 and the US's top 50 universities; however, the correlation is now skewed by the so-called cumulative advantage or the Matthew Effect, which evidently rewards those that are ranked at the top of the Academic Ranking of World Universities. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Surprisingly, the amount of the endowment better determines the number of Nature publications for universities than the total research expenditure.

A dataset was constructed using all publications and citations retrieved from four key journals that publish creativity research: Journal of Creative Behavior (JCB), Gifted Child Quarterly (GCQ), Creativity Research Journal (CRJ), and Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts (PACA). Major findings in this study include: (a) During the study period, the four journals have published 1,891 articles on creativity and they have been cited 11,709 times; (b) the impact factors of the four journals increased from lower than .50 in 2002 to over 1.0 in 2012; in 2012 PACA had the highest impact factor, followed by CRJ; (c) JCB published the most creativity papers and CRJ had the most citations; (d) about a third of the articles published in the four journals have never been cited. Implications for the field of creativity are discussed. Addresses: [Long, Haiying] Florida Int Univ, Miami, FL 33199 USA. [Plucker, Jonathan A.; Kaufman, James C.] Univ Connecticut, Storrs, CT USA.

The main goals are the historical reconstruction of scientific development of the OWA field, the identification of the dominant direction of knowledge accumulation that emerged since the publication of the first OWA paper, and to discover the most active lines of research. The results suggest, as expected, that Yager's paper (IEEE Trans. Systems Man Cybernet, 18(1), 183-190, 1988) is the most influential paper and the starting point of all other research using OWA. Starting from his contribution, other lines of research developed and we describe them.

The nature of data transactions and collaborations observed in international scientific communities clearly indicates that Big Data is a topic that is interdisciplinary and has cross-discipline applications. Metadata is usually associated with its role in retrieval of resources from large collections. Semantics enriched metadata facilitates context driven services that relate to the changing and evolving user communities that are often cross disciplinary. There are many metadata standards advocated for different domains, services and even entities such as organizations, persons, geoentities and services among several others. However, with increasing interest in research and practice of Big Data and availability of data, it is necessary to focus on Metadata for data which is a research area deemed to be nascent as of now. It is necessary to develop a community and an international think tank around the idea of 'metadata for data' and also focus on 'semantics' along with metadata at its inception itself. Data by itself does not directly convey anything but when enriched with semantics and metadata several useful services can be designed. SeMDAT is a workshop with a scope intended to explore the role of semantics and metadata for data. *Objectives*: The workshop aims to bring together international experts and practitioners in Big Data. SeMDAT will provide a platform for discussions highlighting opportunities, issues and challenges in Big data sourcing, storage, processing and applications. The workshop will emphasize on pragmatic approaches required to progress towards semantic solutions for data. *Format*: Workshop will consist of keynote speakers, and invited lectures demonstrations from world experts in Big Data. The content and proceedings will be comprehensive of the sub-topics and issues with emphasis on important aspects such as policy, access and availability, standards, tools and technology and processes among others *Participation*: (not limited to... ): Data managers, data science faculty, library and information professionals, research data managers, researchers, faculty students in related area across domains and services. *Registration is free for this workshop* *Further Details*: http://drtc1.isibang.ac.in/semdat/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: +++Apologies for cross-posting this reminder+++ SIGMet, the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) Special Interest Group for the measurement of information production and use, sponsors a panel on "Informetrics, Bibliometrics, Altmetrics: What Is It All About?" (https://www.asis.org/asist2014/program.html) at this year's ASIS&T Annual Meeting in Seattle. The aim of this panel is to discuss major informetric topics including the impact factor, the h-index, sources of citation data, the Eigenfactor, the making and use of base maps of science, application of bibliometrics, altmetrics, and future perspectives on bibliometrics. Reasonable applications, newly emerging alliances with other information services and pitfalls of bibliometric analyses will also be presented. The panel is particularly aimed at the general audience without extensive informetric knowledge. The panellists are Judit Bar-Ilan (Bar-Ilan University, Israel), Gali Halevi (Elsevier), Stefanie Haustein (University of Montr?al, Canada), Andrea Scharnhorst (Data Archiving and Networked Services Institution, Netherlands), and Jevin West (University of Washington, USA). Isabella Peters (ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, Germany) chairs the panel discussion. To be able to adequately address the audience's needs and give it a better chance of taking an active role in the panel discussion we invite ASIS&T AM attendees (and people who cannot attend) to get in touch with panellists, discuss aspects or post questions of general interest before the panel takes place. Hence, we provide several backchannels to reach the panellists. You can find all information on the panel on following website: http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGMET/activities/panel2014/ Here, bibliometric use cases are presented that serve as pegs on which to hang on the panel discussion. Also, the panellists introduce their main arguments and expertise on the use cases on the website. Please post your comment on the use cases on figshare: http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1209574 (you might want to download the slides from figshare to be able to fully read the slides). You can also direct your tweets to the panellists by using #sigmetpanel14 or @sig_met. We hope that we can foster more audience-related discussions in Seattle which will even include perspectives of people who are not able to attend. As such the panel's accompanying website (http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGMET/activities/panel2014/), the figshare site (http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.120957) and Twitter (#sigmetpanel14, @sig_met) will provide room for exchange and will transport bibliometrics topics to the conference and back to the broader audience. We are looking forward to reading your contributions and to seeing you in Seattle!

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information. Scholars and policy makers depend on key concepts such as "innovation" and "technology", the distinction between "basic and applied research", as well as more recent notions like "transdisciplinarity", "translational research" or "frontier research". These concepts serve as analytical categories to describe the organization of research and the role that science, innovation and technology play within modern societies. But these concepts are also contested in the course of struggles over the proper means and ends of scientific knowledge. Even scholars and policy makers themselves question the analytical value of these concepts, contesting the very terms at the heart of their claims to expertise. The research network aims to examine how these terms are used in order to communicate ideals, interests and expectations related to science and technology. We are interested in their historical legacy, their multiple meanings, their divergent discursive functions, and how they become social facts within institutional settings. The network comprises scholars from the fields of history, sociology, political science, and, more generally, science and technology studies. Our research strategies are interdisciplinary in character. By "conceptual approaches" we mean methodological strategies from different disciplines, among them conceptual history, intellectual history, historical semantics, studies of metaphors, discourse analysis, sociology of knowledge, and sociological systems theory. The research network aims to popularize these "conceptual approaches" within science and technology studies in order to gain a more reflexive understanding of our own categories, the concepts we use to analyze and measure science, innovation and technology.

Message-ID: Dear colleagues, continuing the path our group started back in 2008 to unveil de inner workings of Google Scholar and test its potential as a tool for research evaluation ( http://googlescholardigest.blogspot.com.es/p/ec3.html), we are pleased to present our latest work after five months of arduous work: a study about the highly cited documents according to Google Scholar for the period 1950-2013. The objective is to confirm if it is possible to accurately identify all highly cited documents in Google Scholar. We present the top 25, as well as the top 1% most cited documents (a total of 640), from a sample of 64,000 documents collected from Google Scholar, which are also made available to the community in the suplementary materials. After describing various aspects of these documents like their languages, the file format in which they are made available, and how many are freely accessible, we try to answer some questions that currently hang over Google Scholar?s head like a sword of Damocles and could determine its acceptance as reliable tool for scientific evaluation. With such a large and pertinent sample, the like of which has never been used in any similar studies, we believe we can give solid answers (although admittedly not definitive) to the questions that have been recently discussed in various scientific forums. The questions are these: ? How many of the highly cited documents indexed by GS are also indexed by WoS? ? Is there a correlation between the number of citations that these highly cited documents have received in GS and the number of citations they have received in WoS? ? How many versions of these highly cited documents has GS detected? ? Is there a correlation between the number of versions GS has detected for these documents, and the number citations they have received? ? Is there a correlation between the number of versions GS has detected for these documents, and their position in the search engine result pages? ? Is there some relation between the positions these documents occupy in the search engine result pages, and the number of citations they have received?

As a significant field of study, M&A-research has accumulated substantial knowledge. This bibliometric study examines the extant strategy and international business literature on M&As. Methodologically, we examined a sample of 334 articles published in sixteen leading management/business journals, during a 31 year period from 1980 to 2010. The results provide a global perspective of the field, identifying the works that have had the greater impact, the intellectual interconnections among authors and works, the main research traditions, or themes, delved upon on M&A-related research. Structural and longitudinal analyses reveal the changes in the intellectual structure of the field over time. A discussion on the accumulated knowledge and future research avenues concludes this paper. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Content analysis of 476 articles published by Clothing and Textile Research Journal from 1993 to 2012 shows that social/psychological aspects of clothing dominated research topics. In comparison, there has been a lack of research on product development, design, sourcing, and production related topics that may help improve consumers' economic gains, society, and environments. Research addressing global issues and creative problem solving within the C&T global supply chain were rare. The gaps in research topics within the global supply chain have been identified and specific future research questions are presented.

Authors: Prasad, V; Goldstein, JA Author Full Names: Prasad, Vinay; Goldstein, Jeffrey A. Source: PLOS ONE, 9 (9):10.1371/journal.pone.0107803 SEP 23 2014 Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: U.S. NEWS; REPUTATION; AMERICA Abstract: Context: Prior research has faulted the US News and World Report hospital specialty rankings for excessive reliance on reputation, a subjective measure of a hospital's performance. Objective: To determine whether and to what extent reputation correlates with objective measures of research productivity among cancer hospitals. Design: A retrospective observational study. Setting: Automated search of NIH Reporter, BioEntrez, BioMedline and Clinicaltrials.gov databases. Participants: The 50 highest ranked cancer hospitals in 2013's US News and World Report Rankings. Exposure: We ascertained the number of NCI funded grants, and the cumulative funds received by each cancer center. Additionally, we identified the number of phase I, phase II, and phase III studies published and indexed in MEDLINE, and registered at clinicaltrials.gov. All counts were over the preceding 5 years. For published articles, we summed the impact factor of the journals in which they appeared. Trials were attributed to centers on the basis of the affiliation of the lead author or study principal investigator. Main Outcome: Correlation coefficients from simple and multiple linear regressions for measures of research productivity and a center's reputation. Results: All measures of research productivity demonstrated robust correlation with reputation (meanr-squared = 0.65, median r-squared = 0.68, minimum r-squared = .41, maximum r-squared = 0.80). A multivariable model showed that 93% of the variation in reputation is explained by objective measures. Conclusion: Contrary to prior criticism, the majority of reputation, used in US News and World Rankings, can be explained by objective measures of research productivity among cancer hospitals.

To speed up the process, we highlight some tools, strategies as well as writing guides. We recommend starting early in the research process with writing and to prepare research articles, not after but in parallel to the lab or field work. We suggest considering scientific writing as a team enterprise, which needs proper organization and regular feedback. In addition, it is helpful to select potential target journals early and to consider not only scope and reputation, but also decision times and rejection rates. Before submission, instructions to authors and writing guides should be considered, and drafts should be extensively revised. Later in the process editor's and reviewer's comments should be followed. Our tips and tools help students and advisors to structure the writing and publishing process, thereby stimulating them to develop their own strategies to success.

Such an economy encourages scholars to publish in international journals that are indexed in databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. These developments place an increased emphasis on the question of who is allowed to publish in the journals listed there and whose research counts as valuable. Based on bibliographic data from articles submitted to three main journals in the field of adult education research between 2005 and 2012, we scrutinize the extent to which the emerging economy of publications and citations is dependent on national and regional boundaries. Our results show how four Anglophone countries dominate the field in relation to both published articles and the share of most cited articles and where the publication pattern of these authors are national and regional rather than international.
