Is a scientist's apparent impact as measured by citation metrics due to high quality or just publishing in large quantity (minimum publication unit, salami publishing, self-plagiarism, etc)? What is the impact needed to assess excellence given one's number of publication? Quality versus quantity in scientific impact by Jasleen Kaur, Emilio Ferrara, Filippo Menczer, Alessandro Flammini, Filippo Radicchi Journal of Informetrics 9(4): 800?808, October 2015. doi:10.1016/j.joi.2015.07.008 Free access at http://authors.elsevier.com/a/1Re9e6EAijZsXu Abstract: Citation metrics are becoming pervasive in the quantitative evaluation of scholars, journals, and institutions. Hiring, promotion, and funding decisions increasingly rely on a variety of impact metrics that cannot disentangle quality from quantity of scientific output, and are biased by factors such as discipline and academic age. Biases affecting the evaluation of single papers are compounded when one aggregates citation-based metrics across an entire publication record. It is not trivial to compare the quality of two scholars that during their careers have published at different rates, in different disciplines, and in different periods of time. Here we evaluate a method based on the generation of a statistical baseline specifically tailored on the academic profile of each researcher. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach in decoupling the roles of quantity and quality of publications to explain how a certain level of impact is achieved. The method can be extended to simultaneously suppress any source of bias. As an illustration, we use it to capture the quality of the work of Nobel laureates irrespective of number of publications, academic age, and discipline, even when traditional metrics indicate low impact in absolute terms. The procedure is flexible enough to allow for the evaluation of, and fair comparison among, arbitrary collections of papers ? scholar publication records, journals, and institutions; in fact, it extends a similar technique that was previously applied to the ranking of research units and countries in specific disciplines (Crespo, Ortu?o-Ort?, & Ruiz-Castillo, 2012). We further apply the methodology to almost a million scholars and over six thousand journals to measure the impact that cannot be explained by the volume of publications alone.

Policy initiatives by universities and funding agencies as well as adaptations by publishers have resulted in some progress toward universal OA, but a significant portion of research remains inaccessible to its would-be users because of subscription barriers. Institutions are forced to support both journal subscriptions and ?Gold OA? author publication fees; this is not affordable or sustainable. More and stronger OA mandates will accelerate the provision of universal ?Green OA? (author self-archiving) and an eventual transition to affordable, sustainable Gold OA, in which author fees replace institutional subscription fees to cover the remaining essential costs of journal publication. To accelerate progress, more institutions and funders need to adopt effective OA mandates. All universities and funders should require: (1) institutional deposit of the (2) final draft immediately on acceptance for publication; and urge (but not require): (3) immediate OA, (4) author rights-retention, (5) minimization of allowable embargo length, (6) implementation of the copy-request Button, (7) provision of rich usage and citation metrics, and (8) having the repository deposit of publications be the locus for institutional performance review as well as funding applications and renewals. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

K. Source: IETE TECHNICAL REVIEW, 32 (4):273-283; 10.1080/02564602.2015.1010614 JUL 4 2015 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Citation analysis, Computer science research, Research ranking, Scientometrics, University ranking KeyWords Plus: COMPUTER-SCIENCE; RESEARCH OUTPUT; COLLABORATION; UNIVERSITIES; PRODUCTIVITY; INDEX Abstract: This paper presents our proposed framework and experimental results on a quantity-quality composite performance assessment and ranking of Indian institutions in computer science (CS) research. We have tried to rank the 100 most productive Indian institutions in CS research on a composite single value rank derived from both quantity' and quality' parameters. Our work follows a standard scientometric methodology and uses data obtained from Scopus for 25 year period (1989-2013). The data are computationally analysed on relevant primary and secondary indicators and a composite quantity-quality ranking of research performance of Indian institutions in CS domain is computed. The proposed framework and the composite ranks obtained are analysed, evaluated and correlated with individual indicators and other recent work. The results obtained present a comprehensive analysis of research competitiveness of Indian institutions in CS research, both relative to each other and with the world top, and present inferences useful for policy makers, funding agencies, prospective students, and the CS community at large.

The Different Effect of Proximal and Distal Interdisciplinarity Authors: Yegros-Yegros, A; Rafols, I; D'Este, P Author Full Names: Yegros-Yegros, Alfredo; Rafols, Ismael; D'Este, Pablo Source: PLOS ONE, 10 (8):10.1371/journal.pone.0135095 AUG 12 2015 Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: SCIENTIFIC IMPACT; SCIENCE; PLURALISM; FRAMEWORK; PROGRAM; SOCIETY; EUROPE Abstract: This article analyses the effect of degree of interdisciplinarity on the citation impact of individual publications for four different scientific fields. We operationalise interdisciplinarity as disciplinary diversity in the references of a publication, and rather than treating interdisciplinarity as a monodimensional property, we investigate the separate effect of different aspects of diversity on citation impact: i.e. variety, balance and disparity. We use a Tobit regression model to examine the effect of these properties of interdisciplinarity on citation impact, controlling for a range of variables associated with the characteristics of publications. We find that variety has a positive effect on impact, whereas balance and disparity have a negative effect. Our results further qualify the separate effect of these three aspects of diversity by pointing out that all three dimensions of interdisciplinarity display a curvilinear (inverted U-shape) relationship with citation impact. These findings can be interpreted in two different ways. On the one hand, they are consistent with the view that, while combining multiple fields has a positive effect in knowledge creation, successful research is better achieved through research efforts that draw on a relatively proximal range of fields, as distal interdisciplinary research might be too risky and more likely to fail. On the other hand, these results may be interpreted as suggesting that scientific audiences are reluctant to cite heterodox papers that mix highly disparate bodies of knowledge-thus giving less credit to publications that are too groundbreaking or challenging.

Do Facebook Likes Predict the Impact of Scientific Work? Authors: Ringelhan, S; Wollersheim, J; Welpe, IM Author Full Names: Ringelhan, Stefanie; Wollersheim, Jutta; Welpe, Isabell M. Source: PLOS ONE, 10 (8):10.1371/journal.pone.0134389 AUG 5 2015 Language: English Document Type: Article KeyWords Plus: COMPUTATIONAL SOCIAL-SCIENCE; COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOR; ALTERNATIVE METRICS; CITATION; PERFORMANCE; MANIFESTO; JOURNALS Abstract: Due to the increasing amount of scientific work and the typical delays in publication, promptly assessing the impact of scholarly work is a huge challenge. To meet this challenge, one solution may be to create and discover innovative indicators. The goal of this paper is to investigate whether Facebook likes for unpublished manuscripts that are uploaded to the Internet could be used as an early indicator of the future impact of the scientific work. To address our research question, we compared Facebook likes for manuscripts uploaded to the Harvard Business School website (Study 1) and the bioRxiv website (Study 2) with traditional impact indicators (journal article citations, *Impact Factor*, Immediacy Index) for those manuscripts that have been published as a journal article. Although based on our full sample of Study 1 (N = 170), Facebook likes do not predict traditional impact indicators, for manuscripts with one or more Facebook likes (n = 95), our results indicate that the more Facebook likes a manuscript receives, the more journal article citations the manuscript receives. In additional analyses (for which we categorized the manuscripts as psychological and non-psychological manuscripts), we found that the significant prediction of citations stems from the psychological and not the non-psychological manuscripts. In Study 2, we observed that Facebook likes (N = 270) and non-zero Facebook likes (n = 84) do not predict traditional impact indicators. Taken together, our findings indicate an interdisciplinary difference in the predictive value of Facebook likes, according to which Facebook likes only predict citations in the psychological area but not in the non-psychological area of business or in the field of life sciences. Our paper contributes to understanding the possibilities and limits of the use of social media indicators as potential early indicators of the impact of scientific work.

Source: SPRINGERPLUS, 4 10.1186/s40064-015-0885-y FEB 24 2015 Language: English Document Type: Article Author Keywords: Radiation oncology, Radiotherapy, Research evaluation, Scientific publishing, Citation KeyWords Plus: LOCAL RECURRENCE; CELL-LINE; IRRADIATION; CANCER; PUBLICATION; TRANSGENE Abstract: The purpose of this study was to review all articles published in two temporarily available radiation oncology journals (Radiation Oncology Investigations, Journal of Radiosurgery) in order to evaluate their scientific impact. From several potential measures of impact and relevance of research, we selected article citation rate because landmark or practice-changing research is likely to be cited frequently. The citation database Scopus was used to analyse number of citations. During the time period 1996-1999 the journal Radiation Oncology Investigations published 205 articles, which achieved a median number of 6 citations (range 0-116). However, the most frequently cited article in the first 4 volumes achieved only 23 citations. The Journal of Radiosurgery published only 31 articles, all in the year 1999, which achieved a median number of 1 citation (range 0-11). No prospective randomized studies or phase I-II collaborative group trials were published in these journals. Apparently, the Journal of Radiosurgery acquired relatively few manuscripts that were interesting and important enough to impact clinical practice. Radiation Oncology Investigations' citation pattern was better and closer related to that reported in several previous studies focusing on the field of radiation oncology. The vast majority of articles published in temporarily available radiation oncology journals had limited clinical impact and achieved few citations. Highly influential research was unlikely to be submitted during the initial phase of establishing new radiation oncology journals.

Objective: This study aimed at describing the public health research output in India, its focus and distribution, and the actors involved in the research system. It makes recommendations for systematically promoting and strengthening public health research in the country. Design: The study was a bibliometric analysis of PubMed and IndMed databases for years 2000-2010. The bibliometric data were analysed in terms of biomedical focus based on the Global Burden of Disease, location of research, research institutions, and funding agencies. Results: A total of 7,893 eligible articles were identified over the 11-year search period. The annual research output increased by 42% between 2000 and 2010. In total, 60.8% of the articles were related to communicable diseases, newborn, maternal, and nutritional causes, comparing favourably with the burden of these causes (39.1%). While the burdens from non-communicable diseases and injuries were 50.2 and 10.7%, respectively, only 31.9 and 7.5% of articles reported research for these conditions. The north-eastern states and the Empowered-Action-Group states of India were the most under-represented for location of research. In total, 67.2% of papers involved international collaborations and 49.2% of these collaborations were with institutions in the UKor USA; 35.4% of the publications involved international funding and 71.2% of funders were located in the UKor USA. Conclusions: While public health research output in India has increased significantly, there are marked inequities in relation to the burden of disease and the geographic distribution of research. Systematic priority setting, adequate funding, and institutional capacity building are needed to address these inequities. Addresses: [Kalita, Anuska] IKP Trust, Dept Populat Hlth, New Delhi, India.

There have been few attempts to describe "classic" microsurgery articles. In this study citation analysis was done to identify the most highly cited clinical and basic science articles published in five peer-reviewed plastic surgery journals. Methods Thomson/Reuters web of knowledge was used to identify the most highly cited microsurgery articles from five journals: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Annals of Plastic Surgery, Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, and Microsurgery. Articles were identified and sorted based on the number of citations and citations per year. Results The 50 most cited clinical and basic science articles were identified. For clinical articles, number of total citations ranged from 120 to 691 (mean, 212.38) and citations per year ranged from 30.92 to 3.05 (mean, 9.33). The most common defect site was the head and neck (n = 15, 30%), and flaps were perforator and muscle/musculocutaneous flaps (n = 10 each, 20%, respectively). For basic science articles, number of citations ranged from 71 to 332 (mean, 130.82) and citations per year ranged from 2.20 to 11.07 (mean, 5.27). There were 27 animal, 21 cadaveric, and 2 combined studies. Conclusions The most highly cited microsurgery articles are a direct reflection of the educational and clinical trends. Awareness of the most frequently cited articles may serve as a basis for core knowledge in the education of plastic surgery trainees. Level of Evidence III.

The present article provides a comprehensive assessment of recent academic publishing output from 103 US neurosurgical residency programs and investigates intradepartmental publishing equality among faculty members. METHODS Each institution was considered a single entity, with the 5-year academic yield of every neurosurgical faculty member compiled to compute the following indices: ih(5), cumulative h, ig(5), ie(5), and (10(5) (based on publications and citations from 2009 through 2013). Intradepartmental comparison of productivity among faculty members yielded Gini coefficients for publications and citations. National and regional comparisons, institutional rankings, and intradepartmental publishing equality measures are presented. RESULTS The median numbers of departmental faculty, total publications and citations, ih(5), summed h, ig(5), ie(5), 110(5), and Gini coefficients for publications and citations were 13, 82, 716, 12, 144, 23, 16, 17, 0.57, and 0.71, respectively. The top 5 most academically productive neurosurgical programs based on ih(5)-index were University of California, San Francisco, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Pittsburgh, Brigham & Women's Hospital, and Johns Hopkins University. The Western US region was most academically productive and displayed greater intradepartmental publishing equality (median ih[5]-index = 18, median Gini(pub) = 0.56). In all regions, large departments with relative intradepartmental publishing equality tend to be the most academically productive. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified the ih(5)-index as the only independent predictor of intradepartmental publishing equality (Gini(pub) <= 0.5 [OR 1.20, 95% Cl 1.20-1.40, p = 0.03]). CONCLUSIONS The ih(5)-index is a novel, simple, and intuitive metric capable of accurately comparing the recent scholarly efforts of neurosurgical programs and accurately predicting intradepartmental publication equality. The ih(5)index is relatively insensitive to factors such as isolated highly productive and/or no longer academically active senior faculty, which tend to distort other bibliometric indices and mask the accurate identification of currently productive academic environments. Institutional ranking by ih(5)-index may provide information of use to faculty and trainee applicants, research funding institutions, program leaders, and other stakeholders.

Edited by: Wang LSL; June JJ; Lee CH; Okuhara K; Yang HC Source: MULTIDISCIPLINARY SOCIAL NETWORKS RESEARCH, MISNC 2014, 473 199-212; 2014 Book Series: Communications in Computer and Information Science Language: English Document Type: Proceedings Paper Author Keywords: Influence diffusion, action propagation, viral marketing, academic publication network Abstract: The influence degree of academic authors can be judged in one way by citation-based indices such as the h-index [1]. Marketing researchers develop a theory of action propagation to measure consumers' influence in a market; by going viral, an action of marketing essential such as product adoption or brand awareness is spread to the majority of a market autonomously. Selecting the most influential consumers as marketing seeds is a hot topic in marketing research. In this study, we mine the most influential authors from the perspective of their ability to propagate scholastic actions such as attending a serial conference or publishing in a specific journal. The credit distribution model from Goyal et al. [2] is chosen as the propagation model with two academic publication networks (citation and coauthoring). Real data consisting of 10 years publication records from DBLP and ACM were used in the experiments. It is found that the citation network is more efficient than the coauthoring network to propagate scholastic actions. Top influential authors who can effectively affect fellows to attend a serial conference or publish in a specific journal are mined with the citation publication network.

We use two measures, shared articles and distributed articles, to assess the research productivity of institutions as well as individual researchers. Further we assess the contribution of institutions based on affiliated author research as well as the research of their PhD graduates. In order to accomplish this, we utilise the published OM research articles in 11 top-rated and well-known academic journals over the time period from 1985 to 2010. In addition to the research, contributions of academic institutions and individual authors, we look at several bibliometric statistics related to this body of published research. These measures indicate that the research constituency is growing as evidenced by increasing numbers of researchers and institutions represented. Lastly, the collaboration between researchers appears to be increasing as evidenced by an increasing percentage of articles with three or more authors and the average number of authors per article published.

Source: JOURNAL OF NEUROSURGERY, 123 (3):561-570; 10.3171/2014.12.JNS142553 SEP 2015 Language: English Document Type: Review Author Keywords: h-index, ih(5)-index, e-index, g-index, i10-index, academic neurosurgery, bibliometrics KeyWords Plus: ANEURYSMAL SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE; DEEP BRAIN-STIMULATION; CANCER STEM-CELLS; PARKINSONS-DISEASE; PUBLICATION PRODUCTIVITY; DOUBLE-BLIND; MEDULLOBLASTOMA; MUTATIONS; TRIAL; ISCHEMIA Abstract: OBJECT Recent works have assessed academic output across neurosurgical programs using various analyses of accumulated citations as a proxy for academic activity and productivity. These assessments have emphasized North American neurosurgical training centers and have largely excluded centers outside the United States. Because of the long tradition and level of academic activity in neurosurgery at the University of Toronto, the authors sought to compare that program's publication and citation metrics with those of established programs in the US as documented in the literature. So as to not rely on historical achievements that may be of less relevance, they focused on recent works, that is, those published in the most recent complete 5-year period. METHODS The authors sought to make their data comparable to existing published data from other programs. To this end, they compiled a list of published paper's by neurosurgical faculty at the University of Toronto for the period from 2009 through 2013 using the Scopus database. Individual author names were disambiguated; the total numbers of papers and citations were compiled on a yearly basis. They computed a number of indices, including the ih(5)-index (i.e., the number of citations the papers received over a 5-year period), the summed h-index of the current faculty over time, and a number of secondary measures, including the ig(5), ie(5), and i10(5)-indices. They also determined the impact of individual authors in driving the results using Gini coefficients. To address the issue of author ambiguity, which can be problematic in multicenter bibliometric analyses, they have provided a source dataset used to determine the ih(5) index for the Toronto program. RESULTS The University of Toronto Neurosurgery Program had approximately 29 full-time surgically active faculty per year (not including nonneurosurgical faculty) in the 5-year period from 2009 to 2013. These faculty published a total of 1217 papers in these 5 years. The total number of citations from these papers was 13,434. The ih(5)-index at the University of Toronto was 50. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of comparison with published bibliometric data of US programs, the University of Toronto ranks first in terms of number of publications, number of citations, and ih(5)-index among neurosurgical programs in North America and most likely in the world.

Methods A descriptive systematic review was conducted and data was abstracted from the ten highest ranked journals with respect to *impact factor* in the categories 'Anesthesiology', 'Critical Care Medicine' and 'Respiratory System' as defined by the 2012 Journal Citation Reports. Inclusion criteria according to PICOS criteria were as follows: 1) population: small laboratory mammals; 2) intervention: any form of anesthesia and/or euthanasia; 3) comparison: not specified; 4) primary outcome: type of anesthesia, anesthetic agents and type of euthanasia; secondary outcome: animal characteristics, monitoring, mechanical ventilation, fluid management, postoperative pain therapy, animal care approval, sample size calculation and performed interventions; 5) study: experimental studies. Anesthesia, euthanasia, and monitoring were analyzed per performed intervention in each article. Results The search yielded 845 articles with 1,041 interventions of interest. Throughout the manuscripts we found poor quality and frequency of reporting with respect to completeness of data on animal characteristics as well as euthanasia, while anesthesia (732/1041, 70.3%) and interventions without survival (970/1041, 93.2%) per se were frequently reported. Premedication and neuromuscular blocking agents were reported in 169/732 (23.1%) and 38/732 (5.2%) interventions, respectively. Frequency of reporting of analgesia during (117/610, 19.1%) and after painful procedures (38/364, 10.4%) was low. Euthanasia practice was reported as anesthesia (348/501, 69%), transcardial perfusion (37/501, 8%), carbon dioxide (26/501, 6%), decapitation (22/501, 5%), exsanguination (23/501, 5%), other (25/501, 5%) and not specified (20/501, 4%, respectively. Conclusions The present systematic review revealed insufficient reporting of anesthesia and euthanasia methods throughout experimental studies in small laboratory mammals. Specific guidelines for anesthesia and euthanasia regimens should be considered to achieve comparability, quality of animal experiments and animal welfare. These measures are of special interest when translating experimental findings to future clinical applications.

So far, several scholars have proposed using different citation time windows for evaluating journals. However, there is no confirmation whether a longer citation time window would be better. How did the journal evaluation effects of 3IF, 4IF, and 6IF comparing with 2IF and 5IF? In order to understand these questions, we made a comparative study of impact factors with different citation time windows with the peer-reviewed scores of ophthalmologic journals indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) database. Methods The peer-reviewed scores of 28 ophthalmologic journals were obtained through a self-designed survey questionnaire. Impact factors with different citation time windows (including 2IF, 3IF, 4IF, 5IF, and 6IF) of 28 ophthalmologic journals were computed and compared in accordance with each *impact factor*'s definition and formula, using the citation analysis function of the Web of Science (WoS) database. An analysis of the correlation between impact factors with different citation time windows and peer-reviewed scores was carried out. Results Although *impact factor* values with different citation time windows were different, there was a high level of correlation between them when it came to evaluating journals. In the current study, for ophthalmologic journals' impact factors with different time windows in 2013, 3IF and 4IF seemed the ideal ranges for comparison, when assessed in relation to peer-reviewed scores. In addition, the 3-year and 4-year windows were quite consistent with the cited peak age of documents published by ophthalmologic journals. Research Limitations Our study is based on ophthalmology journals and we only analyze the impact factors with different citation time window in 2013, so it has yet to be ascertained whether other disciplines (especially those with a later cited peak) or other years would follow the same or similar patterns. Originality/Value We designed the survey questionnaire ourselves, specifically to assess the real influence of journals. We used peer-reviewed scores to judge the journal evaluation effect of impact factors with different citation time windows. The main purpose of this study was to help researchers better understand the role of impact factors with different citation time windows in journal evaluation.

With the advent of electronic journal indices, it is possible to determine the impact of individual research articles by the number of citations it has received. However, in a relatively new discipline, such as Chemistry Education Research, it is necessary to provide context for the citation counts, particularly because Chemistry Education Research faculty are likely evaluated by chemistry faculty in more established subdisciplines. This study seeks to provide context by reviewing the citation counts for a sample of 749 Chemistry Education Research articles published in chemistry education or science education journals from 2007 through 2013. The number of citations was found to follow a non-normal distribution and, thus, results are presented using quartiles to describe the range of citations. The results are delineated by metric of citations (Web of Science and Google Scholar), year published, and in terms of established authors.

Source: ACADEMIC MEDICINE, 90 (8):1147-1161; 10.1097/ACM.0000000000000780 AUG 2015 Language: English Document Type: Review KeyWords Plus: ASSESSING PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE; CITATION-CLASSICS; CLINICAL SKILLS; PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS; PATIENT COMMUNICATION; STANDARDIZED PATIENTS; CONSENSUS STATEMENT; DISCIPLINARY ACTION; FACULTY-DEVELOPMENT; ORTHOPEDIC-SURGERY Abstract: Purpose To identify and examine the characteristics of the 50 top-cited articles in medical education. Method Two searches were conducted in the Web of Knowledge database in March 2014: a search of medical education journals in the category "Education, Scientific Discipline" (List A) and a keyword search across all journals (List B). Articles identified were reviewed for citation count, country of origin, article type, journal, authors, and publication year. Results Both lists included 56 articles, not 50, because articles with the same absolute number of citations shared the same rank. The majority of List A articles were published in Academic Medicine (34; 60.7%) and Medical Education (16; 28.6%). In List B, 27 articles (48.2%) were published in medical education journals, 19 (33.9%) in general medicine and surgery journals, and 10 (17.9%) in higher education and educational psychology journals. Twenty-six articles were included in both lists, with different rankings. Reviews and articles constituted the majority of articles; there were only 8 research papers in List A and 13 in List B. Articles mainly originated from the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The majority were published from 1979 to 2007. There was no correlation between year and citation count. Conclusions The finding that over half of List B articles were published in nonmedical education journals is consistent with medical education's integrated nature and subspecialty breadth. Twenty of these articles were among their respective non-medical-education journals' 50 top-cited papers, showing that medical education articles can compete with subject-based articles.

Studying scholarly output, international collaboration, and the share of Russian papers both in national and international journals enables the authors to highlight the current state of biological science and journals in Russia and outline some pronounced trends. A comparative analysis with the leading countries confirms good representation of Russian bioscience journals among other international serials. Certain problems remain unsolved, however: low impact factors, overrepresentation of national papers, and poor online services. Thus, Russian publishers should correct their editorial policy to improve availability and performance of serials.

This is due to the fact that correct or actual results are often not known. Generally for evaluation purpose, three measures namely precision, recall and f-measure are used. They all are external validity indices because they need golden standard data. But in Bibliographic databases like DBLP, Arnetminer, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, etc., gold standard data is not easily available and it is very difficult to obtain this due to the overlapping nature of data. So, there is a need to use some other matrices for evaluation purpose. In this paper, some internal cluster validity index based schemes are proposed for evaluating entity name disambiguation algorithms when applied on bibliographic data without using any gold standard datasets. Two new internal validity indices are also proposed in the current paper for this purpose. Experimental results shown on seven bibliographic datasets reveal that proposed internal cluster validity indices are able to compare the results obtained by different methods without prior/gold standard. Thus the present paper demonstrates a novel way of evaluating any entity matching algorithm for bibliographic datasets without using any prior/gold standard information.

Google Scholar Profiles. Now, just clicking on the name of the institution we can identify all scholars belonging to an organization as well as the global scientific interest and thematic focus of the corresponding institution. We definitely welcome this new initiative that represents an improvement in the product since it allows having a new and easy way to search information from scholars belonging to a specific institution. Previously, specific searches by the institution name or the email domain in the open box were required for this, a tedious and very unfriendly process. Always vigilant to the changes Google introduces in its products, we have prepared a report where we explore the current implementation of this new feature, pointing out its merits as well as its flaws.

Besides the adoption of theories (Humanities/Social Sciences/Education/Psychology), it is usually advised that students exclude old literature except when a trend or seminal approach is being taken. Most importantly it should be noted that majority of freely accessible literature in Africa (especially Nigeria) are old literature via access programs like Jstor, OARES etc. Well, there seems to be some inconsistencies in the Library and Information Services provided by University Libraries in Nigeria as well as low information literacy level among students. Old literature simply means outdated study which I find confusing.

They are most likely to cite literature produced by their fellow male authors, since females are not properly represented in some disciplines. It would be interesting to investigate such trend using a discipline dominated by females (e.g. Nursing, Education etc) in order to identify their citation behaviour.

Ignoring something because it is old is not the same as dismissing it because it is discredited or irrelevant or even outdated.

This special issue is concerned with learning and innovation in natural resource intensive industries (NRIIs) and economies (NRIEs). We are particularly interested in past development experiences and the processes of technological upgrading taking place now in developing countries which are heavily dependent on NRIIs. A look at the papers published between 1994 and 2013 shows that out of 10529 articles published in innovation journals during this period, only 669 (6%) were about innovation in natural resources; of these, approximately 80% dealt with energy issues. This essentially implies that there are few, if any, studies analyzing innovation dynamics in NRIIs. These aspects are among those central to the understanding of innovation and technological upgrading of natural resource-intensive activities. We invite qualitative and quantitative papers with focus on natural resource intensive industries in both developed and developing countries with a focus on contemporary or historical dynamics. The most important is that the papers address the main questions formulated above. This Special Issue has its origins in the Globelics community of global innovation researchers, which has identified natural resources as an important area of knowledge gaps and policy opportunity. The theme of this special issue has been discussed firstly at a 2-day Globelics seminar entitled "Natural Resources, Innovation and Development" in Copenhagen, March 2014, and subsequently at a special session of the Globelics Annual Conference in Addis Ababa in October 2014. Natural resources, innovation and development is also the topic for the most recent Globelics Thematic Review. *The Review process* Submissions will be subject to double blind review and will be refereed for relevance to the theme as well as academic rigor and originality. The extended abstract should be a maximum of three pages and should cover the key questions, literature, methods and conclusions. The purpose of this initial round of evaluation is to review the abstract in relation to the thematic fit with the special issue. Selected abstracts will receive an invitation to submit full papers by November 15th 2015. The full papers should strictly be no longer than 8,000 words inclusive of tables/references/figure captions, abstract and end-notes and comply with the standards of the host journal Innovation and Development. The special issue will be published in the first volume of 2017 in Innovation and Development. However, papers will be published online at the journal?s website as soon as they are ready. Please submit abstracts and full papers to both guest editors with a copy to the journal (id-journal at cds.ac.in). Please mark email subject as "RIAD Natural Resources". *Important Dates:* Submit extended abstract: October 15th 2015 Review result: November 15th 2015 Submit full research paper: March 1st 2016 Review result: May 1st 2016 Final paper: July 1st 2016 Publication: Online as soon as ready. *Further Details* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In a recent letter, Carlos Vilchez-Rom?n criticizes Bornmann et al. (2015) for using data which cannot be reproduced without access to an in-house version of the Web-of-Science (WoS) at the Max Planck Digital Libraries (MPDL, Munich). We agree with the norm of replicability and therefore returned to our data. Is the problem only a practical one of automation or does the in-house processing add analytical value to the data? Is the newly emerging situation in any sense different from a further professionalization of the field? In our opinion, a political economy of science indicators has in the meantime emerged with a competitive dynamic that affects the intellectual organization of the field.

According to SCImago country rankings for 2014, the US output was 494,790 citable items while China had 438,601 or 89% of the US amount. See http://scimagojr.com/index.php Select country rankings, then 2014, then refresh. China's output has been growing rapidly for the last decade, so it looks like it could pass the US in just 2 or 3 years.
