The issue of research continuance in a scientific discipline was analyzed and applied to the field of terrorism. The growing
amount of literature in this field is produced mostly by one-timers who “visit” the field, contribute one or two articles,
and then move to another subject area. This research pattern does not contribute to the regularity and constancy of publication
by which a scientific discipline is formed and theories and paradigms of the field are created.
This study observed the research continuance and transience of scientific publications in terrorism by using obtainable “most
prolific terrorism authors” lists at different points in time. These lists designed by several terrorism researchers, presented
a few researchers who contributed to the field continuously and many others whose main research interest lay in another discipline.
The four lists observed included authors who were continuants, transients, new-comers, and terminators (who left the field).
The lack of continuous, full-time research in a research field is typical of many disciplines, but the influence of this research
pattern on a field’s growth and stability is different for older, established disciplines than for new and formative fields
of study. With in the former, intellectual mobility could contribute to the rise of new topics and probably enrich the particular
scientific field; with the latter, by contrast, it could hamper the formation and growth of the field. 相似文献

A thermodynamic analogy allows bibliometric research assessment of information production processes to be based on a scalar
indicator which is an energy-like term called exergy. Derived from standard indicators like impact, citations and number of
papers, the exergy indicator X is a multiplicative product of quality and quantity of a scientist’s or group’s performance using available bibliometric
information. Thus, given the bibliometric sequences of leading research agencies and institutions, research performance can
be displayed as trajectories on a two-dimensional map as time progresses. In this paper, we track the performance of several
of the leading players contributing to academic scientific research in India. 相似文献

The applicability of Hirsch’s h index (Hirsch, 2005) for evaluating scientific research in Spain has been investigated. A series of derivative indexes that take into account:
i) the overall low scientific production in Spain before the’ 80s; ii) differences among areas due to size (overall number
of citations for publications in a given area); and iii) the number of authors, are suggested. Their applicability has been
tested for two different areas in the Biological Sciences. The proposed set of indexes accurately summarizes both the success
and evolution of scientists’ careers in Spain, and it may be useful in the evaluation of other not well established national
scientific research systems. 相似文献

During the last decade, we have witnessed a sustained growth of South Korea’s research output in terms of the world share
of publications in the Science Citation Index database. However, Korea’s citation performance is not yet as competitive as
publication performance. In this study, the authors examine the intellectual structure of Korean S&T field based on social
network analysis of journal-journal citation data using the ten Korean SCI journals as seed journals. The results reveal that
Korean SCI journals function more like publication places, neither research channels nor information sources among national
scientists. Thus, these journals may provide Korean scholars with access to international scientific communities by facilitating
the respective entry barriers. However, there are no citation relations based on their Korean background. Furthermore, we
intend to draw some policy implications which may be helpful to increase Korea’s research potential. 相似文献

An article assessment system based on both Tianjin University and nine key Chinese Universities’ academic disciplinary benchmarks
was established to evaluate researcher’s published papers. With this scientific benchmarking system, the quality of a researcher’s
papers could be easily located in a percentile scale in corresponding field within certain groups. Several factors, including
total number of papers, order of authors, impact of journals, citation count, h-index, e-index, a-index, m-quotient, etc.,
were also utilized for both quantity and quality analysis. Furthermore, the novel proposed weighted citation analysis was
introduced to judge a researcher’s contribution to his/her research outcomes. The convenient application and comprehensive
evaluation property of this assessment system was thoroughly discussed via a given example. 相似文献

The articles collected in this number all originate from a section of the 2004 annual meeting of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Medizin, Naturwissenschaft und Technik.The section was organized by the Berlin Feminist Science Studies Workgroup (BFSSW) at the Max Planck Institute for the History
of Science, Berlin. The contributions are dedicated to recent accounts and research topics in a field constituted by the intersection
between 20th century (life) sciences and gender studies.They view modern life sciences as situated in hybrid fields of theory
and practice, public and scientific discourse, of experimental procedures and practices of control. Methodological approaches
range from Derrida’s notion of deconstruction, Foucault’s regulatory power and governmentality, Butler’s method of analyzing
performativity and Haraway’s situated knowledge. They focus on dispositifs of research and regulation, visualizing procedures
in the human sciences, and the emergence of new objects of biopolitics. One contribution focuses on the ‘politics of emotions’
and the paradoxical effects of laughter in ‘sexed’ and ‘gendered’ discourses and explores the productivity of humor for a
gender-sensitive way of ‘doing history’. This introduction deals with recent developments in – mainly German – gender studies
during the last two decades under the triple perspective of women in science, science of gender and gender in science.

It has been about 30 years since China adopted an open-up and reform policy for global competition and collaboration. This
opening-up policy is accompanied by a spectacular growth of the country’s economy as well as visibility in the world’s scientific
literature. Also China’ competitiveness in scientific research has grown, and is mirroring the development of the country’s
economy. On the other hand, international collaboration of most countries dramatically increased during the last two decades
and accompanied the growth of science in emerging economies. Thus the question arises of whether growth of competitiveness
in research is accompanied by an intensification of collaboration in China as well. In the present study we analyse the dynamics
and the national characteristics of China’s co-operation in a global context. We also study research profile and citation
impact of international collaboration with respect to the corresponding domestic ‘standards’. 相似文献

This paper introduces a new approach to detecting scientists’ field mobility by focusing on an author’s self-citation network,
and the co-authorships and keywords in self-citing articles. Contrary to much previous literature on self-citations, we will
show that author’s self-citation patterns reveal important information on the development and emergence of new research topics
over time. More specifically, we will discuss self-citations as a means to detect scientists’ field mobility. We introduce
a network based definition of field mobility, using the Optimal Percolation Method (Lambiotte & Ausloos, 2005; 2006). The results of the study can be extended to selfcitation networks of groups of authors and, generally also
for other types of networks. 相似文献

This article reports for first time the state of science and technology in the African Continent on the basis of two scientometric
indicators — number of research publications and number of patents awarded. Our analysis shows that Africa produced 68,945
publications over the 2000–2004 period or 1.8% of the World’s publications. In comparison India produced 2.4% and Latin America
3.5% of the World’s research. More detailed analysis reveals that research in Africa is concentrated in just two countries
— South Africa and Egypt. These two counties produce just above 50% of the Continent’s publications and the top eight countries
produce above 80% of the Continent’s research. Disciplinary analysis reveals that few African countries have the minimum number
of scientists required for the functioning of a scientific discipline. Examination of the Continent’s inventive profile, as
manifested in patents, indicates that Africa produces less than one thousand of the world’s inventions. Furthermore 88% of
the Continent’s inventive activity is concentrated in South Africa. The article recommends that the African Governments should
pay particular attention in developing their national research systems. 相似文献

‘Triad’ or ‘tetrad’? On global changes in a dynamic world 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The US-EU race for world leadership in science and technology has become the favourite subject of recent studies. Studies
issued by the European Commission reported the increase of the European share in the world’s scientific production and announced
world leadership of the EU in scientific output at the end of the last century. In order to be able to monitor those types
of global changes, the present study is based on the 15-year period 1991–2005. A set of bibliometric and technometric indicators
is used to analyse activity and impact patterns in science and technology output. This set comprises publication output indicators
such as (1) the share in the world total, (2) subject-based publication profiles, (3) citation-based indicators like journal-and
subject-normalised mean citation rates, (4) international co-publications and their impact as well as (5) patent indicators
and publication-patent citation links (both directions). The evolution of national bibliometric profiles, ‘scientific weight’
and science-technology linkage patterns are discussed as well.
The authors show, using the mirror of science and technology indicators, that the triad model does no longer hold in the 21st century. China is challenging the leading sciento-economic powers and the time is approaching when this country will represent
the world’s second largest potential in science and technology. China and other emerging scientific nations like South Korea,
Taiwan, Brazil and Turkey are already changing the balance of power as measured by scientific production, as they are at least
in part responsible for the relative decline of the former triad. 相似文献

How to identify emerging research fields using scientometrics: An example in the field of Information Security 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In the highly competitive world, there has been a concomitant increase in the need for the research and planning methodology,
which can perform an advanced assessment of technological opportunities and an early perception of threats and possibilities
of the emerging technology according to the nation’s economic and social status.
This research is aiming to provide indicators and visualization methods to measure the latest research trend and aspect underlying
scientific and technological documents to researchers and policy planners using “co-word analysis”. Information Security field
is a highly prospective market value. In this paper, we presented an analysis Information Security.
Co-word analysis was employed to reveal patterns and trends in the Information Security fields by measuring the association
strength of terms representatives of relevant publications or other texts produced in the Information Security field. Data
were collected from SCI and the critical keywords could be extracted from the author keywords. These extracted keywords were
further standardized. In order to trace the dynamic changes in the Information Security field, we presented a variety of technology
mapping. The results showed that the Information Security field has some established research theme and also rapidly transforms
to embrace new themes. 相似文献

This paper analyzes whether methods from social network analysis can be adopted for the modeling of scientific fields in order
to obtain a better understanding of the respective scientific area. The approach proposed is based on articles published within
the respective scientific field and certain types of nodes deduced from these papers, such as authors, journals, conferences
and organizations. As a proof of concept, the techniques discussed here are applied to the field of ‘Mobile Social Networking’.
For this purpose, a tool was developed to create a large data collection representing the aforementioned field. The paper
analyzes various views on the complete network and discusses these on the basis of the data collected on Mobile Social Networking.
The authors demonstrate that the analysis of particular subgraphs derived from the data collection allows the identification
of important authors as well as separate sub-disciplines such as classic network analysis and sensor networks and also contributes
to the classification of the field of ‘Mobile Social Networking’ within the greater context of computer science, applied mathematics
and social sciences. Based on these results, the authors propose a set of concrete services which could be offered by such
a network and which could help the user to deal with the scientific information process. The paper concludes with an outlook
upon further possible research topics. 相似文献

For a long time, rankings overused in evaluating Chinese universities’ research performance. The relationship between research
production and research quality hasn’t been taken seriously in ranking systems. Most university rankings in China put more
weight on research production rather than research quality. Recently, the developmental strategy of Chinese universities has
shifted from ‘quantity’ to ‘quality’. As a result, a two-dimensional approach was developed in this article to balance ‘quantity’
and ‘quality’. The research production index and the research quality index were produced to locate research universities
(RU) from Mainland China, Hong Kong (HK) and Taiwan (TW) in the two-dimensional graph. Fifty-nine RU were classified into
three categories according to their locations, which indicated the relevant level of research performance. University of Hong
Kong, National Taiwan University, Tsing Hua University and Peking University appeared to be leading universities in research
performance. The result showed that the mainland universities were generally of higher research production and lower research
quality than HK and TW universities, and proved that the merging tides of Chinese universities enlarged their research production
while causing a low level of research quality as well. 相似文献

Assuming the OECD member states as ‘advanced’ nations equipped with basic scientific capacities, the present research addresses
the network configuration of these countries in international scientific collaboration and the transformation of this network
along with globalization. The result suggests that geographical, linguistic, and economic affinities did not have a meaningful
impact on the formation of co-authorship network between ‘advanced’ nations, different from previous research results which
claimed their importance on international cooperation. Globalization facilitated by the development of information and transportation
technologies was found to influence the co-authorship link between countries, but not to accelerate centralization of the
network in the past 15 years. Though the core-periphery pattern still persists, new rising stars, which are Korea and Turkey,
have emerged in the co-authorship network among ‘advanced’ nations. These two countries, having a rapid increase in the share
of degree centrality from 1995 to 2010, had strategic financial support from the government which stimulated the collaboration
between universities and industries and emphasized the development of science and engineering fields. 相似文献

A bibliometric analysis of the effectiveness of Korea’s Biotechnology Stimulation Plans,with a comparison with four other Asian nations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mee-Jean Kim 《Scientometrics》2007,72(3):371-388
This study investigates the scientific output and publication patterns of Korean biotechnology before and after the start
of the Korean Biotechnology Stimulation Plans (1994–2007), and then compares the results with publication data from the same
time periods for Japan, the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan and Singapore. For this study, 14,704 publications, published
by at least one researcher from one of the five Asian nations (indexed by SCI Expanded during the years 1990–1993 and the
years 2000–2003), were considered. A marked increase of Korean research output in biotechnology was largely influenced by
an increasing tendency for researchers to enter the field of biotechnology and by increased expenditures for R&D activity
through the Korean Biotechnology Stimulation Plans. In addition, the SCI Expanded coverage of national journals affected the
scientific output and publication patterns of Japanese and Korean researchers. Looking at the Korean publications by collaboration
type, international collaboration leads to more publications in mainstream journals of high impact factors than local and
domestic collaborations for the two periods. However, although the Korean Biotechnology Stimulation Plans were followed by
a remarkable increase in South Korea’s research output, this increase has not been accompanied by growth in the quality of
those publications in terms of impact factors of journals for Korean publications. 相似文献

Scientific collaboration is growing in its importance; more so in Asian and African countries. This paper examines the scenario
of science and scientific collaboration in South Africa which had passed through the colonial and apartheid regimes before
it became a democracy in 1994. South African science under distinct political periods moved through some difficult periods
but it did not badly affect the progress and direction of South African science. Science and scientific collaboration continued
to grow under its major political phases amidst serious challenges. Despite internal conflict and boycott by the international
scientific community, South Africa could move onto a stable and steady path of growth in science and collaboration under apartheid
which is being carried on in the new South Africa. Collaborative research is encouraged at various levels of knowledge production
and in science. The importance science and scientific development is gaining in today’s South Africa is remarkable. 相似文献

Two broad classes of scientific impact indices are proposed and their properties - both theoretical and practical — are discussed.
These new classes were obtained as a geometric generalization of the well-known tools applied in scientometric, like Hirsch’s
h-index, Woeginger’s w-index and the Kosmulski’s Maxprod. It is shown how to apply the suggested indices for estimation of
the shape of the citation function or the total number of citations of an individual. Additionally, a new efficient and simple
O(log n) algorithm for computing the h-index is given. 相似文献
