A New Semantic Similarity Based Measure For Assessing Research Publication’s Contribution
Citations are insufficient evidence of impact, quality and research contribution
However, citations are one of many attributes surrounding a publication and by themselves provide an insufficient evidence of impact, quality and research contribution. This is due to a wide range of characteristics they exhibit, including the variations in sentiment (positive…
Citation analysis
Ever since the idea of using citations for research evaluation was introduced [Garfield,1955], citation analysis has received a lot of attention and many theories and measures based on citations have been produced.
Anticipating The 2010 Impact Factor — The Devil Is In The Details | The Scholarly Kitchen
Impact factor put simple
The journal impact factor is deceptively simple. A journal’s 2010 impact factor is derived by summing the citations made in 2010 to articles published during the previous two years (i.e,. 2008 and 2009) and dividing this number by the sum of the articles published during those…

Micropublications: A Semantic Model For Claims, Evidence, Arguments And Annotations In Biomedical Communications
Faults in the communication of scientific evidence and citations
Recent results spotlight concerns with the communi- cation of evidence and its citation. Begley and Ellis re- cently found that only 11% of research findings they examined from the academic literature could be repro- duced in a biopharmaceutical laboratory [8]. Fang et al…
Networks Of Scientific Papers
Science topography based on analysis of research fronts
The present research suggests that most papers, through citations, are knit together rather tightly. The total research front of science, however, has never been a single row of knitting. It is, instead, divided by dropped stiches into quite small segments and strips. From a…
The Diggicore Project: Aggregating And Mining The World Of Open Access Articles
Citations are insufficient evidence of impact
The assumption of our research is that citations themselves are an insufficient evidence of impact.
What’s In A (journal) Name? | The Scholarly Kitchen
Title changes for publications
My favorite example of a title change that was just a problem for everyone: some time ago, ACTA ORTHOPEDICA SCANDINAVICA (20 character abbrev: ACTA ORTHOP SCAND) changed title to ACTA ORTHOPEDICA (20 character abbrev: ACTA ORTHOP), then a few years later, changed back to ACTA…
What’s In A Name? Journal Rebranding And Its Consequences On Citations - Research Trends
Erroneous references due to title changes
This is corroborated by Research Trends’ own case study of citations and references for 10 journals that changed title in 2000. Anecdotal evidence gleaned through reference lists suggests that journal title changes can indeed lead to erroneous references from authors and a…
