Domestic Collaboration Research Articles

Bibliometric Analysis of Forensic Human Remains Identification Literature from 1991 to 2022.

To describe the current state of research and future research hotspots through a metrological analysis of the literature in the field of forensic anthropological remains identification research. The data retrieved and extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), the core database of the Web of Science information service platform (hereinafter referred to as "WoS"), was used to analyze the trends and topic changes in research on forensic identification of human remains from 1991 to 2022. Network visualisation of publication trends, countries (regions), institutions, authors and topics related to the identification of remains in forensic anthropology was analysed using python 3.9.2 and Gephi 0.10. A total of 873 papers written in English in the field of forensic anthropological remains identification research were obtained. The journal with the largest number of publications was Forensic Science International (164 articles). The country (region) with the largest number of published papers was China (90 articles). Katholieke Univ Leuven (Netherlands, 21 articles) was the institution with the largest number of publications. Topic analysis revealed that the focus of forensic anthropological remains identification research was sex estimation and age estimation, and the most commonly studied remains were teeth. The volume of publications in the field of forensic anthropological remains identification research has a distinct phasing. However, the scope of both international and domestic collaborations remains limited. Traditionally, human remains identification has primarily relied on key areas such as the pelvis, skull, and teeth. Looking ahead, future research will likely focus on the more accurate and efficient identification of multiple skeletal remains through the use of machine learning and deep learning techniques.

Links between terrorism financing and organised crime in Nigeria

Purpose This study aims to assess terrorism activities to identify measures required to mitigate the rise of terrorism activities and their metamorphosis into organised criminal activity through the prevention, disruption and dismantling of sources of financing terrorism. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative methodology was adopted for this study using descriptive synthesis from recent publications and reports of reputable organisations, i.e. relevant grey literature, key informant interview and a focus group discussion. This triangulation approach was used to cross-validate the findings. Findings The findings revealed that terrorism financing is most likely linked to organised crime for generating revenues and is further used to finance the activities of terrorists. Practical implications Terrorists operate from places with little or no presence of governance and, better still, ungovernable spaces for carrying out legitimate businesses, raising internally generated revenues from protection fees, ransoms and taxes. This space further allows domestic collaboration with local criminal gangs to exploit natural mineral resources. If the market for these resources is across borders, international or transnational criminal groups collaborate with terrorists to move the goods and assist with financial services for the generated proceeds. Originality/value This study assessed the emerging links between terrorism financing and organised crime in Nigeria.

Research performance of higher education in OECD countries: A hybrid multi-criteria decision-making approach

This study aims to analyze the research performance of 38 OECD countries in the last 10 years. For this purpose, the research performance of these countries was analyzed using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods with the productivity and publication impact data of 38 countries. The analyses were conducted both normal data and also with adjusted data based on the population and income level of the countries. Firstly, the importance level of research performance criteria was determined by three different MCDM methods. Using the weight values obtained from these methods, countries were ranked by three different MCDM methods used for ranking purposes. According to the results of the study, the publications in the highest cited 1% were determined as the most important and distinctive criterion. Secondly, the criterion expressing the relative impact of publications on the world was determined as the second most important criterion. In the analyses conducted without normalizing the data, USA showed the highest research performance. In the analyses conducted by considering the population of the countries, Switzerland showed the highest research performance. In the analyses conducted by taking into account the income level of the countries, Estonia has the highest research performance. As R&D expenditures, development level of countries and international collaboration increased, research performance of countries increased. However, with the increase in domestic collaboration, there has been a decrease in research performance. In addition, this research has shown how to use MCDM in the measurement of research performance by using objective methods with different backgrounds.

Assistance in Teaching Indonesian Language and Culture to BIPA Students at Fatoni University, Thailand

Abstract. Indonesian is one of the languages ​​with the largest number of speakers in Southeast Asia with around 199 million speakers. The number of speakers is the highest in the Southeast Asia region. Under these conditions, Indonesian deserves to be used as the official language in communicating at the ASEAN level. To make this program successful, various efforts have been made by Indonesian language observers so that Indonesian is better known and mastered by foreign speakers, both in ASEAN, ASIA, and on other continents. Through this international scheme community service program, the program that will be carried out is language assistance to Indonesian Language learners for Foreign Speakers (BIPA), both formally and non-formally. The International Community Service Program (PPM) is carried out using the process assistance method which will be carried out formally in the academic environment and informally in the community, both BIPA students who are in the country (DIY-Central Java) and students abroad at Fatoni University (FTU). The mentoring process is carried out by servants assisted by domestic collaborators from UNY and UAD and international collaborators from FTU. During the mentoring, BIPA students will be given online speaking application media to help expedite the process of learning to speak Indonesian. The application to be used is an online application that can be accessed using a smartphone in the form of a simple conversation simulation. Through this program, it is hoped that BIPA students' speaking skills in the conversational aspect will increase.

The role of collaboration networks for innovation in immigrant-owned new technology-based firms

This paper answers calls for a better understanding of the importance of domestic collaboration networks for innovation in immigrant- and native-owned firms. With a specific focus on the domestic networks established with other firms, research institutions, and business associations, we question whether cultivating such social capital with diverse actors is linked to better innovation performances for immigrant-owned firms. We investigate this research question by exploiting a unique matched-pair sample of immigrant and native domestic entrepreneurs who are active in high-tech mainstream (non-ethnic) markets. Our results show that universities and research institutions, along with business associations, are more important for innovation in immigrant-owned firms. In addition, we discover that immigrant entrepreneurs' acculturation to the host country's culture acts as a substitute for interactions with business associations. These findings contribute to the academic and policy knowledge on the link between immigrant entrepreneurship and innovation in developed countries.

Determining the Characteristics of Papers That Garner the Most Significant Impact: A Deep Dive into Mexican Engineering Publications

Engineers make things, make things work, and make things work better and easier. This kind of knowledge is crucial for innovation, and much of the explicit knowledge developed by engineers is embodied in scientific publications. In this paper, we analyze the evolution of publications and citations in engineering in a middle-income country such as Mexico. Using a database of all Mexican publications in Web of Science from 2004 to 2017, we explore the characteristics of publications that tend to have the greatest impact; this is the highest number of citations. Among the variables studied are the type of collaboration (no collaboration, domestic, bilateral, or multilateral), the number of coauthors and countries, controlling for a coauthor from the USA, and the affiliation institution of the Mexican author(s). Our results emphasize the overall importance of joint international efforts and suggest that publications with the highest number of citations are those with multinational collaboration (coauthors from three or more countries) and when one of the coauthors is from the USA. Another interesting result is that single-authored papers have had a higher impact than those written through domestic collaboration.

Technological Transfer Channels of Food and Beverage Processing Multinationals to Host Countries: An Empirical Analysis

This research examines the possibility of food and beverage (F&B)-processing multinational corporations serving as a viable conduit for the international diffusion of technology. It utilizes existing literature to analyse three potential avenues through which technology transfer occurs from these corporations to host sectors: contract farming, domestic collaboration for innovation, and spillover effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). In specific instances, these firms might provide support to local innovators through financial assistance or complementary resources. Additionally, they may actively facilitate technology transfers to particular types of local partners and they may generate demonstration effects. Nevertheless, the prevailing evidence consistently indicates that the impact of FDI on the host sector is generally limited or selective. The findings of this study cast doubt on the overly optimistic views held by international organizations and host governments regarding FDI in the food sector as a major source of cutting-edge technology for host countries. The incentives offered to food and beverage multinationals should be carefully calibrated to strike a balance between acknowledging potential benefits to the sector's innovation system and maintaining a realistic perspective on the actual outcomes. This study combines and analyses three separate empirical lines of research in parallel to offer factual elements for a policy debate. By integrating these different research approaches, the study aims to contribute to a well-informed discussion on relevant policy matters.

A Study on the Utilization Methods through Function Elements Analysis of Domestic Collaboration Tools

A Study on the Utilization Methods through Function Elements Analysis of Domestic Collaboration Tools

Gender differences in dentistry and oral sciences research productivity by researchers in Nigeria.

The aim of the study was to assess gender differences in the productivity, impact, collaboration pattern and author position of dentistry and oral sciences researchers in Nigeria. We examined the Web of Science (WoS) publication records of dentistry and oral sciences researchers to assess gender differences in productivity, impact, collaboration and authorship pattern (first authorship, last authorship and corresponding author). The analysis included the number of publications in journals ranked based on their quartile rating amongst the journals in the subject area (Q1-Q4). Chi square was used to make gender comparisons. Significance was set at >5%. 413 unique authors published 1,222 articles on dentistry and oral sciences between 2012 and 2021. The number of WoS documents per female author was significantly higher than that per male author (3.7 vs. 2.6, p = 0.03). A non-significantly higher percentage of females authored papers in Q2 and Q3 journals and a higher percentage of males authored papers in Q4 journals. The number of citations per female author (25.0 vs. 14.9, p = 0.04) and the percentage of females listed as first authors (26.6% vs. 20.5%, p = 0.048) were statistically greater than men. The percentage of males listed as last authors was statistically greater than females (23.6% vs. 17.7%, p = 0.04). The correlation between the percentage of papers with researchers listed as first authors and that listed as last authors was not significant for males (p = 0.06) but was significant for females (p = 0.002). A non-significantly greater percentage of females were listed as corresponding authors (26.4% vs. 20.6%) and males were listed as international (27.4% vs. 25.1%) and domestic collaborators (46.8% vs. 44.7%). Also, there was no statistically significant gender difference in the proportion of articles published in open access journals (52.5% vs. 52.0%). Though there were significant gender differences in the productivity, impact, and collaboration profile of dentistry and oral sciences researchers in Nigeria, the higher female research productivity and impact may be driven by cultural gender nuances that needs to be explored further.

Scientific activities, and extent of collaborative efforts in the top academic institutions of India : A scientometric study using Web of Science data

Using more than one lakh publication records from the Web of Science database, we tried to identify the scientific activity (publications, collaborations and citations), sectors of collaboration (University- Industry-Government), & subjects of collaboration in the top 10 NIRF ranked engineering institutes and universities in India. The study indicated that collaboration in different types of academic institutions has steadily increased from 2011 to 2020. Greater growth has been observed in domestic collaboration than foreign collaboration. The international collaboration network tends to be very dense with more advantageous countries. Although, international collaboration resulting in more citations, the fractional impact strength of domestic publications is better than foreign. The impact factor of the journal was observed to be a better predictor than the number of authors per article. University-University sector – mainly different departments of the same institute emerge as the predominant form of domestic collaborative research. While assessing the disciplinary output of the top 10 institutions by establishing a subject framework based on the Frascati Manual and Essential Science Indicator of Clarivate, it was observed that Civil, Mechanical & Electrical Engineering; Chemical, Material & Environmental Engineering; Chemical Sciences, and Theoretical aspects of Physics were the major fields amongst science disciplines with overall 52% of domestic and 48% of foreign collaboration.

Matakan Tabbatar Da Tsaro A Gwamnatance

This paper dwelt on some of the security measures used by government to ensure and maintain security with a particular reference to Nigeria. It revealed that the Federal Government is the sole repository of security in Nigeria. The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended, has placed the burden and duty of security, the maintenance of law and order and protection of lives and property within the federation squarely upon the shoulders of the federal government. This means that the Federal Government solely owns and controls the security without sharing it with any of the 36 states and the FCT. Paragraphs 17 and 45 of Part 1, Second Schedule, of the Excusive Legislative List of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) has exclusively given the Federal Government control of the security agencies. Hence, the State Governments do not have direct control and significant roles to play in the maintenance of security, except complimenting the Federal Government via provision of logistics for the security agencies in their respective domains. Furthermore, the chapter explored the place of security in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as well as identified security agencies having the stake of ensuring security in Nigeria. It also enumerated and discussed some of the security measures being taken to provide, ensure security of lives and property in Nigeria as well as how Zamfara State Government has been making efforts and complementing Federal Government to contain the security threat the state grapples with. However, some of the security measures identified in the chapter are just overt ones with several covert ones not said here. This is because, no nation, world over, does reveal all of its security measures to avoid countering them by criminals, domestic collaborators and hostile nations.

Bibliometric Analysis of Papers Published in Indian Journal of Chemistry-Section A and Section B during 2015-2020

An analysis of 456 papers published in IJCA and 548 papers in IJCB during 2015-2020 indicates that the average number of articles published per year was 76 in IJCA and 91.3 in IJCB. Academic institutions from India and abroad were the major contributors to both the journals, however, their share varied in the two journals. India and China were the major contributors to IJCA, while India and Iran were the major contributors to IJCB. The value of CPP for Indian and foreign authored papers was almost the same for both the journals. Among the prolific countries, highest value of CPP was for Bangladesh for papers published in IJCA and no significant difference was observed in the values of CPP for prolific countries in IJCB. Islamic Azad University (Iran) contributed the highest number of papers in IJCA, while CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIRIICT) topped the list of institutions in IJCB. Among the prolific institutions, CSIR-CSMCRI (Bhavnagar) had the highest value of CPP for IJCA. In case of IJCB, Gujarat University and Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University (MBKU) had the highest value of CPP. The Proportion of uncited papers was slightly more in IJCA as compared to IJCB. Of the 12 highly cited papers in IJCA five papers were written in domestic collaboration and one in international collaboration, while of the nine highly cited papers in IJCB four papers were written in domestic collaboration and none in international collaboration.

Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research: A Bibliometric Study of Papers Published during 2001–2020

This study is carried out to understand dynamics of the journal using scientometric indicators. In this regard an analysis of 2,623 records published in Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research during 2001–2020 found that the share of articles published was highest (90%) followed by reviews (5%) and proceeding papers (1.9%). The chronological pattern of output indicates that the number of papers published declined after 2011. The total output was contributed by 47 countries located in different parts of the globe. Of these, India contributed about 38% papers followed by Turkey and China. Among all the prolific countries, Portugal had the highest value of Citation per Paper (CPP). The share of papers not cited (PnC) was highest for Saudi Arabia. Among the highly productive institutions, Anna University (Chennai) topped the list with 99 papers. Among the 26 highly productive institutions, CPP is highest (25.7) for CSIR-Central Leather Research Institute (Chennai). Highest share of PnC was for Andhra University. Most of the highly productive authors were located at highly productive institutions. Among the prolific authors, highest value of CPP was for P Vasudevan of the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi. Pattern of citation indicates that about 18% papers were not cited and 2% papers were cited more than 50 times. Of the 14 most cited papers, three papers were contributed by authors from Taiwan (2) and Portugal (1) and remaining 11 papers were contributed by Indian authors. Four highly cited papers were written in domestic collaboration and one in international collaboration. Highest share of papers published in the journal are multi-authored.

A Preliminary Analysis of Geography of Collaboration in Data Papers by S&T Capacity Index

ABSTRACTGeography is one of the defining factors in scientific collaboration. Despite the voluminous evidence for how geographical proximity shapes the formation of collaboration in research articles, it has been rarely examined in the emerging genre of data papers, one that describes research data and has enjoyed growing attention in the data‐driven paradigm of research. This poster presents preliminary findings from our project that aims to evaluate the geographical dynamics behind the production of data papers. We analyze how researchers from different countries collaborate with one another using 6,821 data papers published in Scientific Data and Data in Brief between 2014 and 2020. We found that data papers rely heavily upon domestic collaboration and the collaboration pattern largely mirrors that of research articles, although some distinctiveness was also observed. We discuss future work in conclusion, with the ultimate goal of opening a more meaningful conversation about the relationship between the data‐driven paradigm and knowledge production.

Why do papers from international collaborations get more citations? A bibliometric analysis of Library and Information Science papers

Scientific activity has become increasingly complex in recent years. The need for international research collaboration has thus become a common pattern in science. In this current landscape, countries face the problem of maintaining their competitiveness while cooperating with other countries to achieve relevant research outputs. In this international context, publications from international collaborations tend to achieve greater scientific impact than those from domestic ones. To design policies that improve the competitiveness of countries and organizations, it thus becomes necessary to understand the factors and mechanisms that influence the benefits and impact of international research. In this regard, the aim of this study is to confirm whether the differences in impact between international and domestic collaborations are affected by their topics and structure. To perform this study, we examined the Library and Information Science category of the Web of Science database between 2015 and 2019. A science mapping analysis approach was used to extract the themes and their structure according to collaboration type and in the whole category (2015–2019). We also looked for differences in these thematic aspects in top countries and in communities of collaborating countries. The results showed that the thematic factor influences the impact of international research, as the themes in this type of collaboration lie at the forefront of the Library and Information Science category (e.g., technologies such as artificial intelligence and social media are found in the category), while domestic collaborations have focused on more well-consolidated themes (e.g., academic libraries and bibliometrics). Organizations, countries, and communities of countries must therefore consider this thematic factor when designing strategies to improve their competitiveness and collaborate.

Scientometric Analysis and Collaboration Trends of Published Literature by State Universities from West Bengal

The study examines the analysis of research output by the Universities of West Bengal from 2002 to 2021. Journal articles are the most preferred form of publication type of documents by the Universities of West Bengal. It shows the highest RGR value among seven universities is obtained by Vidyasagar University in the year 2021 and the lowest value is obtained by the University of Calcutta in the year 2021. The study used Domestic Collaboration and International Collaboration and it shows the highest paper 11529 (38.38%) was published at the domestic level and international level 3140 (43.87%) by Jadavpur University. It found that 16.82 % of the total publications are open access research articles with 6255. It is quite interesting to know that Jadavpur University has a significant lead towards encouraging the researcher to publish in open access journals with 33.78%. The most productive author is Subhadeep Das, Department of Life Sci. & Biotechnology, Jadavpur University with 908 articles ranked in first place among the universities studied.

Bibliometrics Analysis in English and Chinese Literature on Drowning in Forensic Medicine from 1991 to 2020.

To explore the research hotspots and development trends of the field of forensic drowning from 1991 to 2020 by bibliometrics methods. Based on Web of Science, CNKI database, Wanfang Data knowledge service platform, python 3.9.2, CiteSpace 5.8.R3, Gephi 0.9.2, etc. were used to analyze the publishing trends, countries/regions, institutions, authors and topics of the study on drowning. A total of 631 English literature were obtained, including 59 articles from Chinese authors, and 386 Chinese literature were obtained. The Chinese and English journals with the largest number of related literatures were Chinese Journal of Forensic Science (80 articles) and Forensic Science International (106 articles), respectively. Japan published the most articles in English, and China ranked third. Osaka City Univ (Japan, 28 articles) published the most English articles, and Guangzhou Forens Sci Inst (China, 22 articles) ranked second. Among Chinese literature, Guangzhou Forens Sci Inst (32 articles) published the most. The topic analysis of Chinese and English literature showed that diatom examination, virtual autopsy, postmortem biochemical examination, the nature of death, and postmortem submersion interval were the hot spots of current research, but English literature had more studies on new technologies and methods, while Chinese literature was more inclined to practice, application and experience summary. The number of literature in forensic medicine on drowning is relatively stable. The scope of international and domestic collaborations in this field is still limited. The automated examination of diatoms, the establishment of diatom DNA barcodes and virtual autopsy will be the most important research hotspots in the coming period and are expected to achieve breakthroughs in drowning diagnosis, drowning location inference, postmortem submersion interval estimation, etc.

In the blind spot: Influence operations and sub-threshold situational awareness in Norway

ABSTRACT Situational awareness in the face of hybrid campaigns is undermined by ‘blind spots’, which this article conceptualises. Blind spots are where legal or political frameworks preclude intelligence gathering below the threshold of war. Drawing on a historical case study of alterations in legislation and security police directives in Norway from 1950–2021, the analysis shows how an influence operation’s blind spot varied along with shifts in the balance between national security concerns and democratic individual rights. Recent initiatives to criminalise domestic collaboration with foreign influence operators are discussed, and the advent of AI and microtargeting presented as a challenge out of reach of such legislation.

The Route of V-2 Technology Transfer from Germany to the USSR, and on to China

V-2 technology was transferred from Germany to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and then on to China. The USSR imitated the captured German V-2 rocket, and independently developed the R-2. Later, China imitated the R-2 rocket provided by the USSR, and independently developed the Dong Feng-2 (DF-2). The imitation or localization of foreign products is a key stage prior to independent development. Independent development of new models, in turn, is not only indicative of an upgrading of the transferred technology and the mastering of foreign technology, but also an illustration of innovation. Talent is the crucial resource on which technology transfer relies. The administrative system and domestic collaboration network required to coordinate the necessary tasks, including research, experimentation, design, and manufacture were established both in the USSR and in China.
