Trouble In Paradise: Problems In Academic Research Co-Authoring, Barry Bozeman, Jan Youtie
Trouble In Paradise: Problems In Academic Research Co-Authoring, Barry Bozeman, Jan Youtie

Scholars and policy-makers have expressed concerns about the crediting of coauthors in research publications. Most such problems fall into one of two categories, excluding deserving contributors or including undeserving ones. But our research shows that there is no consensus on ‘‘deserving’’ or on what type of contribution suffices for co-authorship award. Our study uses qualitative data, including interviews with 60 US academic science or engineering researchers in 14 disciplines in a set of geographically distributed research-intensive universities. We also employ data from 161 website posts provided by 93 study participants, again US academic scientists. We examine a variety of factors …
A Systematic Method To Create Search Strategies For Emerging Technologies Based On The Web Of Science: Illustrated For ‘Big Data’, Ying Huang, Jannik Schuehle, Jan Youtie, Alan L. Porter
A Systematic Method To Create Search Strategies For Emerging Technologies Based On The Web Of Science: Illustrated For ‘Big Data’, Ying Huang, Jannik Schuehle, Jan Youtie, Alan L. Porter

Abstract Bibliometric and ‘‘tech mining’’ studies depend on a crucial foundation—the search strategy used to retrieve relevant research publication records. Database searches for emerging technologies can be problematic in many respects, for example the rapid evolution of terminology, the use of common phraseology, or the extent of ‘‘legacy technology’’ terminology. Searching on such legacy terms may or may not pick up R&D pertaining to the emerging technology of interest. A challenge is to assess the relevance of legacy terminology in building an effective search model. Common-usage phraseology additionally confounds certain domains in which broader managerial, public interest, or other considerations …
The Use Of Citation Speed To Understand The Effects Of A Multi-Institutional Science Center, Jan Youtie
The Use Of Citation Speed To Understand The Effects Of A Multi-Institutional Science Center, Jan Youtie
Jan Youtie
The extent to which an article attracts citations has long been of interest. However, recent research has emphasized not just the receipt but also the pacing of citation. Citation speed has been shown to be affected by journal prestige and self-citation but also public funding of research. Amidst these viewpoints, this paper explores the speed of article citation of a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary publicly funded research center relative to that of a comparison group of articles. Results indicate that articles by authors affiliated with the center are significantly more likely to have early-cited papers within the year of publication than the …
Social Dynamics Of Research Collaboration: Norms, Practices, And Ethical Issues In Determining Co-Authorship Rights., Jan Youtie, Barry Bozeman
Social Dynamics Of Research Collaboration: Norms, Practices, And Ethical Issues In Determining Co-Authorship Rights., Jan Youtie, Barry Bozeman
Jan Youtie
Co-authorship has become common practice in most science and engineering disciplines and, with the growth of co-authoring, has come a fragmentation of norms and practices, some of them discipline-based, some institution-based. It becomes increasingly important to understand these practices, in part to reduce the likelihood of misunderstanding in collaborations among authors from different disciplines and fields. Moreover, there is also evidence of widespread satisfaction with collaborative and co-authoring experiences. In some cases the dissatisfactions are more in the realm of bruised feelings and miscommunication but in others there is clear exploitation and even legal disputes about, for example, intellectual property. …

Patent Overlay Mapping: Visualizing Technological Distance, Luciano Kay, Nils Newman, Jan Youtie, Alan L. Porter, Ismael Rafols

This paper presents a new global patent map that represents all technological categories and a method to locate patent data of individual organizations and technological fields on the global map. This overlay map technique may support competitive intelligence and policy decision making. The global patent map is based on similarities in citing-to-cited relationships between categories of the International Patent Classification (IPC) of European Patent Office (EPO) patents from 2000 to 2006. This patent data set, extracted from the PATSTAT database, includes 760,000 patent records in 466 IPC-based categories. We compare the global patent maps derived from this categorization to related …
