From lutz.bornmann at gv.mpg.de Thu Feb 1 09:28:41 2018 From: lutz.bornmann at gv.mpg.de (Bornmann, Lutz) Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2018 14:28:41 +0000 Subject: [Sigmetrics] CRExplorer Message-ID: <26D4503C9B0C8B43A20B92EF238B98AEDB11231A@UM-EXCDAG-A01.um.gwdg.de> Dear colleague, We have published a new version of the CRExplorer which you can download at www.crexplorer.net (including the handbook). The CRExplorer uses data from Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) or Scopus (Elsevier) as input. Publication sets have to be downloaded including the references cited. The program focusses on the analysis of the cited references, in particular on the referenced publication years. The CRExplorer can be used to answer questions, such as: which are the most important papers in the history of a field? On whose shoulders of giants does an author stand? Where to look for the intellectual roots of a research topic? The new version includes the following new features and improvements: * Sequence: To reveal impact sequences over time for cited references, cited references are classified as on average ("0"), above average ("+"), and below average ("-") citation impact in citing years. The benchmark is the mean citation impact of all other cited references published in the same year. For example, the sequence [---+++000] means that the cited reference has been cited below average in the first three citing years, above average in the next three years, and on average in the last three citing years. * Types of sequences: The sequences are used to identify specific types in terms of the symbols ("+", "-", "0"). The types are labelled as follows: sleeping beauty with low or no citation impact over a longer initial period and high citation impact later; constant performer with a constant and considerable amount of citation impact over time; hot paper with high citation impact directly after the publication and low citation impact later; life cycle with very different citation impact across the citing years. * Samples: In many cases, the full dataset from Web of Science or Scopus (the population) cannot be completely imported in the program because the available memory on the computer is restricted. Thus, the user has the new option to reduce the dataset by loading only a sample from the population. Three samples can be drawn from the population: random, systematic, or cluster sample. * Script language: CRExplorer provides a tailored script language that allows the application of the most important functions. This can be useful for recurring experiments using different data sets or for processing large volumes of data. Users can execute scripts from the command line. The use of the script language is explained in the handbook. Some new features are also explained in this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.08720 Best, Lutz --------------------------------------- Dr. Dr. habil.

July 30 ? August 3, 2018 Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University, the Netherlands https://www.cwts.nl/training-education/cwts-scientometrics-summer-school CWTS is proud to announce the launch of a newly developed summer school on scientometrics. With its unique focus on doctoral training, the CWTS Scientometrics Summer School fills a gap in the currently available opportunities for scientometric training. The summer school has a scientometric focus, but it will also place the study of science within a broader theoretical perspective. At the same time, participants will be introduced to practical applications in interactive sessions. The summer school will close by critically examining the role of scientometrics in the research system. The broad coverage of topics ensures that participants in the summer school will get a good overview of the field. The summer school will be highly relevant to students pursuing a doctoral degree in scientometrics, but also to students from other fields who want to make use of scientometric methods in their research. The summer school will be taught by leading scholars in the field of scientometrics, at an institute that has been at the centre of the field for over 25 years. Registration is now open. Intended audience * Doctoral (PhD) students and early post-docs from all disciplines. * English speaking. * No pre-requisite knowledge. Lecturers The summer school will be taught by leading scholars in the field of scientometrics, at an institute that has been at the centre of the field for over 25 years. * Vincent Larivi?re * Cassidy Sugimoto * Vincent Traag * Ludo Waltman Registration The registration fee is ? 500,-. This includes tuition, course material, coffee breaks and lunch. Travel and lodging expenses are not covered by the registration fee. The deadline for registration is April 30, 2018 with a maximum of 20 participants (at a first-come first-serve basis).

World Scientific, 2018 available at: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3121894 Abstract Unlike the coding of biological evolution in terms of DNA, cultural evolution is driven by the further development of codes in the communication. These codes structure how we give meaning to the information. Complementary to the information flow, they can be modeled as redundancy: the observables are provided with meaning from the perspective of hindsight and with reference to horizons of meaning. Orders of expectations can be developed which operate as feedback on the arrow of the entropy flow by providing envisaged options. Cultural evolution thus incurs on the biological evolution. The codes operate as selection mechanisms on the phenotypical variation of the observables. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loet Leydesdorff Professor emeritus, University of Amsterdam Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR) loet at leydesdorff.net ; http://www.leydesdorff.net/ Associate Faculty, SPRU, University of Sussex; Guest Professor Zhejiang Univ. , Hangzhou; Visiting Professor, ISTIC, Beijing; Visiting Fellow, Birkbeck , University of London; http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ych9gNYAAAAJ&hl=en ------ Original Message ------ From: "Karl Javorszky" To: "Stanley N Salthe" Cc: "fis" Sent: 2/10/2018 7:36:36 PM Subject: Re: [Fis] The unification of the theories of information based on the cateogry theory >Using the logical language to understand Nature > > > >The discussion in this group refocuses on the meaning of the terms >?symbol?, ?signal?, ?marker? and so forth.

(#sti18challenge). This specialized track focuses on the ongoing challenges for using data from social media platforms and from third party aggregators as sources for research metrics and scientometric indicators. These challenges include but are not limited to: --> platform-based restrictions in accessing social media data and potential biases resulting from limited access (also: biases introduced by data aggregators) --> black boxes, hidden algorithms, and lack of information about collection processes and context affecting the use of social media data and data aggregators -->lack of understanding of user activities (e.g. motivations to retweet, like, share) and user groups in academic contexts -->incomplete data (e.g. due to missing DOIs or identifiers not tracked by aggregators) and noise (e.g. due to bot-activity) We invite the following types of submissions: a) original research studying the quality of social media data and data aggregators for measuring scholarly communication b) short (hands-on) introductions and best practices for using data from one or more specific social media platforms or aggregators. Please submit your work as short papers (max 3,000 words) until April 1, 2018. See http://sti2018.cwts.nl/submissions for templates, EasyChair access and additional submission information.

This is primarily aimed at research evaluators, PhD students and researchers that are interested in scientometrics and altmetrics. The objective of the summer school is to make the use of alternative indicators possible for routine research evaluations. It is a practical event that will describe how gather and analyse a variety of web-based indicators. Provisional Schedule Day 1: Theory. This will introduce the new theoretical model of alternative indicators and describe methods to evaluate indicators. Attendees have the option to submit a short abstract to give a short presentation on their own relevant work, if accepted. Day 2: Practice. This will start with an overview of a range of alternative indicators and will then introduce Webometric Analyst, a free software suite that gathers data for many alternative indicators and calculates advanced indicators for them. This will be followed by practical workshop sessions during which attendees will use the software to gather alternative indicator data and calculate and benchmark indicator values. This course will demonstrate how to gather and calculate indicators (benchmarked in the sense of field and year normalised) using free web-based data for commercial impact (patents), educational impact (syllabus mentions, PowerPoint mentions), informational impact (Wikipedia citations) and grey literature impact. Altmetric.com's free research data will also be mentioned. Attendees can bring their own data in order to calculate a range of web indicators for it on the day. Dates: September 6 and 7, 2018. Cost: Free Location: University of Wolverhampton, in Wolverhampton city centre.

The discipline has been an important pillar of Artificial Intelligence, and has earned considerable attention from researchers worldwide because of its ability to extract knowledge from raw data by using sound statistical principles. Scientometrics is a domain that performs a quantitative and qualitative assessment of research and scientific progress. The field has earned popularity in last few years owing to the need to measure research outputs at individual, institutional and geographical levels. As a result of this need, different parameters are brought-up and various databases like Scopus, Web of Science and Google scholar are built for computation of these parameters. The data generated and stored as a result of proliferation of research papers and other scientific activities is vast. Analysis of the data cannot be performed without the intervention of sophisticated tools and techniques. Consequently, the use of Machine leaning algorithms for carrying out tasks like classification, regression, clustering and associations on these databases becomes imminent. The indicators to mark research performance use citation information in a well-defined way. Citations have become a key component in evaluating performance for authors, articles and journals. To evaluate the role of Machine Learning in Scientometrics, ML techniques can help in predicting citation count, can provide useful insights on computing new bibliometric indexes and also, in finding associations among them. The usage of powerful statistical tools like multiple linear regression, convex/concave optimization and gradient ascent/descent algorithms can be explored in scientometric and bibliographic analysis. The special issue aims to capture the baseline, set the tempo for future research in India and abroad and prepare a scholastic primer that would serve as a standard document for future research. we hope to learn about methods that are applicable to Scientometrics but are not currently used, and also making Computer Science practitioners aware of the interesting problems that complex Scientometric/ Bibliometric data sets provide. We welcome original and unpublished contributions (adhering to the journal format) that discuss new developments in efficient models for complex computer experiments and data analytic techniques which can be used in Scientometric data analysis as well as related branches in physical, statistical and computational sciences. *Topics: Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:* - Bibliometrics, scientometrics, webometrics, and altmetrics - Computational Intelligence methods in Scientometric data fitting - Econometric Models in Scientometrics - Big data in Scientometrics - Machine Classification methods - Bayesian and Probabilistic models in Scientometrics - Machine Learning tools in Scientometric time series analysis - Interpolation methods for data fitting problems - Influence Modeling *IMPORTANT DATES:* - Paper Submissions: June 05, 2018 - Acceptance Notification: September 05, 2018 - Revised Submission: October 15, 2018 - Final Acceptance Notification: November 15, 2018 - Camera Ready Submission: November 30, 2018 *Editors-Special Issue:* Snehanshu Saha, PES University South Campus, Bangalore Saibal Kar, Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta *Associate Editor-Special Issue:* Archana Mathur, Indian Statistical institute, Bangalore *Click to see Profile of Editors of Special Issue * *Further Details about the Issue | **Journal of Scientometric Research * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don?t think this listserv should require ASIST membership ? if it does, is there another listserv that crosses organizational boundaries (like CHMINF-L does for chemistry)? Back when this was hosted at UTK and there was no METRICS SIG in ASIST, everyone was welcome.

Patricia Meindl U of Toronto Quoting "Smalheiser, Neil R" >: This is an important notice about migration of the SIG MET listserv to a new platform.

However, to answer the question -- to join ASIST, go to https://www.asist.org/join/ and you will see the various benefits of being a member (besides access to the listserv). I believe you need to join ASIST in order to join the SIGs (which are free as a benefit of ASIST membership). Membership fees depend on category: Professional Membership ($140) Student Membership ($40) Transitional Professional Membership ($65) I am also exploring options for allowing SIG MET to keep hosting an independent listserv. However, the transition is still scheduled, and I would encourage all of you to think about being active SIG MET (and ASIST) members which will make us an even more vibrant metrics community.

I am ASIST member, but this is unpleasant behavior. Most elegant is as the list-administrator brings us over in one copy and past. If necessary, I can also do it if you wish.

As the one who was responsible for this listserv for several years and who also migrated the listserv from its old home (at Gretchens department) to ASIS&T I pledge for keeping the listserv as it is. As far as I know the SIGMet list was always independent from the ASIS&T SIGMet-group (i.e. ASIS&T membership was not required for joining) and it is one of the largest and most active listservs from ASIS&T. I suggest to discuss this issue with ASIS&T headquarter. I am also happy to support this.

I'd add that making SIG listerves or community communication of all kinds open to all those interested at least for a trial period of say one year would be a most effective and useful mechanism for attracting new members to the Society.
