Analysis Of The Impact Of Studies Published By Internext - Revista Eletrônica De Negócios Internacionais, Carlos Luis González-Valiente

Carlos Luis González-Valiente

This paper presents a citation analysis of Internext-Review of International Business to detect the impact caused by papers published for the period 2006-2013. The Publish or Perish (PoP) software is used, which retrieves articles and citations from Google Scholar database. As part of the applied indicators are: the distribution of authors by articles, citations per year, citation vs. self-citation, journal’s citable vs. non citable documents, journal’s cited vs. uncited documents, co-word analysis, and H Index. A total of 131 articles were obtained for 153 citations made until June, 2014. Most articles present multiple authorship. It is also detected an ascending …

Is There A Relationship Between Research Sponsorship And Publication Impact? An Analysis Of Funding Acknowledgments In Nanotechnology Papers, Jue Wang, Philip Shapira

Philip Shapira

This study analyzes funding acknowledgments in scientific papers to investigate relationships between research sponsorship and publication impacts. We identify acknowledgments to research sponsors for nanotechnology papers published in the Web of Science during a one-year sample period. We examine the citations accrued by these papers and the journal impact factors of their publication titles. The results show that publications from grant sponsored research exhibit higher impacts in terms of both journal ranking and citation counts than research that is not grant sponsored. We discuss the method and models used, and the insights provided by this approach as well as it …

Marketing In The Field Of Information Disciplines: Research Trends In Latin America (1985-2012), Carlos Luis González-Valiente

Carlos Luis González-Valiente

This study seeks to clarify research trends related to marketing in the field of information disciplines from Latin American scientific production. As a reference source, we used the electronic journals indexed in the Latindex Directory. Some bibliometric indicators were applied to 108 documents; these indicators were as follows: productivity by year, journals, authors, language, and finally term cooccurrence analysis. It was evident that the highest rate of productivity was found in Brazilian journals and authors, and in the Portuguese language. The four main clusters in term co-occurrence analysis in the most relevant topics were as follows: marketing of the information …

Connecting Research On Social Issues In Nanotechnology: The Center For Nanotechnology In Society At Arizona State University, Jan Youtie, Philip Shapira

Philip Shapira

Central to the emergence of new research topics is the creation of a research network. This paper looks at the creation of a network of researchers of social issues in nanotechnology and the role of the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University (CNS-ASU) in the creation of this network. While there has been US investment in societal research on nanotechnology, a debate exists about the extent to which a research community has been created through these investments. This paper uses three approaches to examine the extent to which CNS-ASU is associated with the development of a research …

"Problems Of Attribution" Attribution: Managing Provenance, Ethics, And Metrics, Christine Borgman

Christine L. Borgman

While it seems that digitized scholarship should lead the way to better discoverability and attribution, the age-old problems still plague us: confusion about names, siloed data, lack of or difficult communication between organizations. This meeting, hosted jointly by Dryad and ORCID, provides a venue to discuss these issues and learn about the initiatives underway to to address them, including social aspects of attribution, the persistent identifiers for researchers and their work, and development of interoperable methods for storing and calling data.

"Problems of Attribution" Slides: Data attribution and citation; CODATA and developing data attribution and citation practices and standards; Driving …

This session will explain how to calculate impact factors and other citation metrics for your research and for the work of your faculty. It will also teach you how to frame these discussions and how to use these output measures to make connections with faculty, department chairs, and Deans.

Using Histcite Software To Identify Significant Articles In Subject Searches Of The Web Of Science, Enrique Wulff

Enrique Wulff

HistCiteTM is a large-scale computer tool for mapping science. Its power of visualization combines the production of historiographs on the basis of the analysis of co-citations of documents, with the use of bibliometrics specific indicators. The objective of this article is, to present the advantages of the new bibliometrics configuration of HistCiteTM (2004) when identifying articles. The analysis of the histograms that produces HistCiteTM in terms of cumulative advantage and aging of the citations. And the comparative study of the resulta of HistCiteTM, in its indicators of amplitude and recognition. Also is examined its treatment of the sampling problems, by …
