410 Peer audit of racial representation in contemporary obstetric guidelines

Racial and ethnic disparities in obstetrics are pronounced in the United States (US). In February 2018, SMFM published a special report entitled “Reducing racial and ethnic disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality: a call to action.” As SMFM’s guidelines represent the scientific basis to inform clinical decisions, it is imperative that the research they amalgamate is representative of our racially diverse US population. Our objective is to systematically calculate how often our contemporary obstetric guidelines consider race/ethnicity and how well their subjects reflect the current US census. This is a descriptive study of independent SMFM guidelines released since the publication of the SMFM special report in February 2018. Both guidelines and their cited works were analyzed for identification of racial/ethnic demographics of their study population. Only original research investigations were included for statistical analysis with chi squared test for categorical variables. Seventeen guidelines met inclusion criteria with 766 cited works. 424 (58%) of these citations were original research. Race/ethnicity was not identified in more than half (56.8%) of the research publications. Distribution of citation types and demographics identified are detailed in Figure 1. US publications were significantly more likely to report race/ethnicity than international works (67.2% vs 7.6%, OR 25.1, CI 13.4,46.8). Although the compiled demographics of US studies were roughly similar to 2019 US census data, variance between individual studies was extreme, with only a single US study having all demographics within 25% of the US census data (Figure 2). A critical element of dismantling obstetric disparities is ensuring that our research populations reflect the diversity of our country. Although recently cited US works appear to be on track overall, many individual studies do not meet this goal. Continued effort to achieve adequate demographic inclusion in research represents an opportunity to break down inequalities in patient outcomes.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image Download (PPT)

Publication Characteristics of Foot and Ankle Trauma Publications: A Review of Articles From 1997 to 2017.

BackgroundThe purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare publishing characteristics in foot and ankle trauma articles published in two subspecialty journals and two general orthopedic journals.MethodsAll trauma articles related to foot and ankle surgery published from five different time intervals over a 20-year period were collected and the following was analyzed: authorship, level of evidence, type of study, citations, and geographic region.ResultsFoot and Ankle International (FAI) had the highest percentage of last and corresponding authors that were fellowship-trained in foot and ankle. The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American and British volumes (JBJS(A) and JBJS(B), respectively) and the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma (JOT) articles had a higher percentage of last and corresponding authors that were fellowship-trained in trauma.ConclusionFoot and ankle-trained authors are currently under-represented in foot and ankle trauma literature. As the field of foot and ankle continues to grow, it is important that the experts in the field are well represented in the literature.

PAULO FREIRE EM ARTIGOS SOBRE FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES NA ÁREA BRASILEIRA DE EDUCAÇÃO EM CIÊNCIAS [1996-2018]: UMA ANÁLISE DE CITAÇÕES

Paulo Freire é o autor que mais aparece nas referências bibliográficas de artigos da área brasileira de Educação em Ciências sobre formação de professores. No entanto, existe uma lacuna de conhecimento analítico-contextual sobre essa ocorrência, que ainda necessita de investigação. Qual seria o perfil das citações? Em que tipos de citações Freire aparece? Para quê? Por quê? Com o intuito de responder parte significativa dessas questões, foi realizada uma pesquisa que teve como objetivo analisar as citações feitas a Paulo Freire em artigos da área brasileira de Educação em Ciências. Tratou-se de pesquisa bibliométrica do tipo ‘análise de citações’. Estes foram os cinco periódicos investigados: Ciência & Educação, Ensaio Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências, Investigações em Ensino de Ciências, Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências e Alexandria: Revista de Educação em Ciência e Tecnologia. Se no meio restrito de alguns poucos partidos políticos do Brasil as ideias freireanas vêm sofrendo contestações, no campo do conhecimento científico o resultado é nitidamente oposto: nas pesquisas sobre formação de professores da área brasileira de Educação em Ciências, os subsídios teórico-metodológicos de Paulo Freire prevaleceram quantitativa e qualitativamente em citações necessárias e de naturezas caracterizadas como orgânicas, conceituais, evolutivas e confirmatórias.

Classifying the ideational impact of Information Systems review articles: A content-enriched deep learning approach

Ideational impact refers to the uptake of a paper's ideas and concepts by subsequent research. It is defined in stark contrast to total citation impact, a measure predominantly used in research evaluation that assumes that all citations are equal. Understanding ideational impact is critical for evaluating research impact and understanding how scientific disciplines build a cumulative tradition. Research has only recently developed automated citation classification techniques to distinguish between different types of citations and generally does not emphasize the conceptual content of the citations and its ideational impact. To address this problem, we develop Deep Content-enriched Ideational Impact Classification (Deep-CENIC) as the first automated approach for ideational impact classification to support researchers' literature search practices. We evaluate Deep-CENIC on 1256 papers citing 24 information systems review articles from the IT business value domain. We show that Deep-CENIC significantly outperforms state-of-the-art benchmark models. We contribute to information systems research by operationalizing the concept of ideational impact, designing a recommender system for academic papers based on deep learning techniques, and empirically exploring the ideational impact in the IT business value domain.

Intimate Partner Violence: A Bibliometric Review of Literature.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a worldwide public health problem. Here, a bibliometric analysis is performed to evaluate the publications in the Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) field from 2000 to 2019 based on the Science Citation Index (SCI) Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) databases. This work presents a detailed overview of IPV from aspects of types of articles, citations, h-indices, languages, years, journals, institutions, countries, and author keywords. The results show that the USA takes the leading position in this research field, followed by Canada and the U.K. The University of North Carolina has the most publications and Harvard University has the first place in terms of h-index. The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine leads the list of average citations per paper. The Journal of Interpersonal Violence, Journal of Family Violence and Violence Against Women are the top three most productive journals in this field, and Psychology is the most frequently used subject category. Keywords analysis indicates that, in recent years, most research focuses on the research fields of “child abuse”, “pregnancy”, “HIV”, “dating violence”, “gender-based violence” and “adolescents”.

Bibliometric analysis of articles published in Anatomy, the official publication of the Turkish Society of Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy between 2007–2018

Objectives: Bibliometry is a research approach to measure and analyze the productivity of the literature in a specific area or journal. Therefore, bibliometric analysis is significant in the evaluation of the journals. In this study, we aimed to examine the articles published in Anatomy (ISSN: 1307–8798), the official publication of the Turkish Society of Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy (TSACA) between 2007–2018. Methods: The affiliations of the authors, identity, type, content and number of citations of articles published in the journal Anatomy between 2007–2018 were recorded. Descriptive statistics of the data were made. Results: Between 2007 and 2018, 214 articles were published in 12 volumes and 19 issues, the number of published articles varying by years. 101 (47.6%) of 214 articles were cited. Forty four articles (20.56%) were prepared by a single author, and 170 (79.44%) articles by multiple authors. Conclusion: The findings obtained in this study are thought to be important for understanding the place of the journal Anatomy and its contribution to the scientific literature in the field of anatomy.

Examining correlation of altmetric score and citation number in dermatology journal articles

Objectives Determine the correlation between Altmetric score and citation number for publications in high-impact dermatology journals and examine the characteristics of these articles. Materials and methods Four high-impact dermatology journals were examined for the top 10% of articles as ranked by Altmetric score. Spearman’s Rank correlation coefficient was performed on log-transformed Altmetric scores and citation numbers. Dimensions and Altmetric were used to determine journal characteristics. Results Among the 165 articles analyzed, Altmetric score does not correlate with citation number (rs = 0.0047 and ρ = .953) or type of observational study. The highest performing journal articles represented a variety of journal types and topics. Conclusions Online attention does not necessarily correspond with dissemination through traditional citation. While Altmetric scores convey much information about online dissemination, both Altmetric scores and citation numbers should be taken into account when evaluating a publication’s impact.

Grey literature citations in top nursing journals: a bibliometric study.

ObjectiveAs access to information grows in tandem with the growth of the Internet, access to grey literature also increases. Because little is known about the use of grey literature in nursing journals, the authors investigated the prevalence and types of grey literature citations in top nursing journals.MethodsWe analyzed all citations (n=52,116) from articles published in 2011 in 6 top nursing journals selected from the Medical Library Association’s Nursing and Allied Health Resource Section’s 2012 “Selected List of Nursing Journals.” Grey literature citations were identified and categorized by type.ResultsGrey literature accounted for 10.4% of citations across all 6 journals. Publications from governments (54.3%) and corporate organizations (26.8%) were the most common types of grey literature.ConclusionThe substantial citation of grey literature in nursing journals shows that nursing scholars seek and use this category of information. These findings have implications for teaching and learning among nursing researchers and the information professionals who serve the nursing research community.

The analysis of citation in headlines in the Spanish press

Citation constitutes one of the most important components of text in all mass media, allowing for the concretization of events and serving to enhance media authenticity. The aim of this work is to study the structural features of the citation technique across headlines in the electronic editions of five leading Spanish mass media outlets between 2010 and 2018. Determined for the purpose of the study were the forms and frequency of three types of citation – direct, indirect and mixed – along with the structural features of the methods by which citation is integrated into a newspaper text. The conducted content analysis demonstrates that citation-driven headlines account for 15% of the total processed corpus and also clarifies the prevalence of direct citation (53%) among the three types. The division of source texts into two groups enables us to distinguish implicit citation as a special type tasked with citing the precedent text. In addition, three primary predicate groups are singled out: declarative, explicative and evaluative. These serve to introduce direct and indirect citations. The analysis of the narrating remark highlights the importance of the pragmatic function of citation in a newspaper text. The study confirms the significance and relevance of employing citation in headlines in the Spanish press and provides insight into the phenomenon of reported speech and the function of citation in mass media.

The transfer of theories and models from information behaviour research into other disciplines

Introduction. The diffusion of information science research into other disciplines has not been extensively studied. This paper attempts to remedy this situation in terms of research into information behaviour. Method. A sample of papers citing three key authors (Kuhlthau, Savolainen and Wilson) was taken from Google Scholar. Analysis. The papers were categorised as being by either exporters (information science researchers publishing in other fields) or importers, researchers in other disciplines importing ideas from information science. The citations to the key authors were categorised as affirmation, negation, application, perfunctory, and review. A non-parametric test (Chi-squared) was used, where appropriate, to determine the significance of association between variables. Results. Most citing authors in the four disciplines studied were importers, suggesting that information behaviour research is making a significant impact in those disciplines. The most common citation type was the review (44% of the total), followed by perfunctory (36%). The application type of citation was most numerous in the health-related field. No negation citations were found. Conclusion. Given the limited number of papers reviewed, it is not possible to generalise. However, the review does show that information behaviour is having an impact in the four disciplines studied, and that the most significant level of impact is found in the health field.

The “Russian Hirsch”: Predictors of Citation Usage of Scholarly Works in the RSCI

The article investigates the predictors of citation rate in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) for Russian publications in psychology. Four groups of indicators are analyzed: formal attributes of a publication (12 indicators), parameters of publication visibility on eLibrary (3 indicators) and PsyJournals (2 indicators) that define accessibility of publication to potential readers, and author-based citation parameters (3). Special attention is paid to citation parameters as qualitative characteristics of the author’s method of elaborating the scientific text and construing dialogue (in the form of citations) with other researchers. Relationship between the indicators analyzed and the RSCI citation rate is proven statistically using the multivariate statistical methods of factor analysis and cluster analysis. For each of the four groups, the strongest predictors of citation rate are identified by multiple regression analysis, which are then compared by their predictive power. It is shown that visibility (accessibility) indicators are the best predictors of citation rate, followed by formal publication attributes and, finally, citation type parameters as having the lowest predictive power. The method of logistic regression allows to identify the ultimate predictors of citation rate and measure their accuracy in predicting whether a publication is low- or highly cited, which is 77.3% and 72.9% for the indicators of visibility on PsyJournals and eLibrary (respectively), 69.9% for formal attributes, and 60.9% for citation parameters. A publication that has few in-text citations is very likely to have a low RSCI citation rate, yet a high number of in-text citations does not guarantee a high citation impact. Recommendations are provided for authors to increase their citation rates. The sample is represented by 662 publications in six Russian psychology journals, each indexed in the RSCI, Web of Science, and Scopus.

Citation Type Analysis for Zagadnienia Informacji Naukowej – Studia Informacyjne (2016–2017)1

Purpose/Thesis: The article studies the types of citations in research articles published in the journal Zagadnienia Informacji Naukowej – Studia informacyjne (ZIN).Approach/Methods: The study applied a method of analysis of citations, supplemented by a typology of citations established by B. Peritz. The research set consisted of 34 research articles published in ZIN in 2016–2017. The study required a manual identification and categorization of the citations which featured in the set, and correlating their types with the location in the article and the type of the article.Results and conclusions: The results of the study showed significant variations in the distribution of the citations in the article, depending on the type of the article. A major part of the identified citations featured in the state of the art, and in general discussions. The authors studied often referred to other works to establish a general critical consensus regarding the research problems they analysed, to support their own hypotheses, or to suggest directions for further research. More than a half of the articles studied made no citations of methodological character.Originality/Value: The article analyses the functions of the citations in the rhetoric structure of a research article concerned with information science, and offers a methodological critique of the research processes and tools.

Dynamics of essential interaction between firms on financial reports.

Companies tend to publish financial reports in order to articulate strategies, disclose key performance measurements as well as summarise the complex relationships with external stakeholders as a result of their business activities. Therefore, any major changes to business models or key relationships will be naturally reflected within these documents, albeit in an unstructured manner. In this research, we automatically scan through a large and rich database, containing over 400,000 reports of companies in Japan, in order to generate structured sets of data that capture the essential features, interactions and resulting relationships among these firms. In doing so, we generate a citation type network where we empirically observe that node creation, annihilation and link rewiring to be the dominant processes driving its structure and formation. These processes prompt the network to rapidly evolve, with over a quarter of the interactions between firms being altered within every single calendar year. In order to confirm our empirical observations and to highlight and replicate the essential dynamics of each of the three processes separately, we borrow inspiration from ecosystems and evolutionary theory. Specifically, we construct a network evolutionary model where we adapt and incorporate the concept of fitness within our numerical analysis to be a proxy real measure of a company’s importance. By making use of parameters estimated from the real data, we find that our model reliably replicates degree distributions and motif formations of the citation network, and therefore reproducing both macro as well as micro, local level, structural features. This is done with the exception of the real frequency of bidirectional links, which are primarily formed as a result of an entirely separate and distinct process, namely the equity investments from one company into another.

Dil ilişkisi bağlamında Teyipcan Eliyev in şiirlerindeki Çince alıntılar

The connection between Uighur Turkish and Chinese has surpassed a long historical process. In our time, Modern Uighur Turkish used in East Turkestan region has been in a closer relation with Chinese than even before in the history. Regarding the impact arising from the close relation between both languages, it can be mentioned that the affected language is Modern Uighur Turkish. However the ratio of effect manifests itself in a different aspect in written and verbal language. We studied the relationship between the two languages within the example of Chinese borrowings in the poems of famous Uighur poet Teyipcan Eliyev, who lived and created his works in East Turkestan between 1930-1989 and we aimed to illuminate the written language of Modern Uighur Turkish and Chinese. The method used is The Model of Explaining the Relation of Language and Influence, namely Code Copying Model, developed by Larsh Johanson. According to this model, the socially-dominant language (B) is Chinese and sociallyweak language (A) is Modern Uighur Turkish. In the study, the type of citations provided by B to A, constructive factors and non-linguistic factors have been studied based on the Chinese borrowings in the poems of Eliyev.

Variations in the Citation Use and Perceptions in Writing the Literature Review by EFL Postgraduates

Academically, citation is pivotal since it presents justifications for the arguments and a demonstration of the writer’s position. Despite the increasing number of studies on citations, little knowledge has been reported regarding the citation use and practices of EFL students within the ESL context. Hence, the present study aimed at investigating the extent of variation in the citation practices in the literature review of PhD theses in Applied Linguistics and Information Technology. The study analysed the citations qualitatively focusing mainly on several aspects, including using types of citations, the variety of the citations based on the type of the clauses in each citation, and the perspectives of EFL Arab postgraduates on using citations. A purposeful sampling was adopted in selecting the literature review of 20 PhD theses and nine EFL Arab candidates of Applied Linguistics and Information Technology. The results show the dominance of the integral citation in the literature review of Applied Linguistics and Information technology. The inter-disciplinary comparison also reported similarity in terms of the high frequency of using citations with clauses complexes. The discourse-based interviews revealed that EFL Arab postgraduates depended on the integral citation to highlight ideas, attract the reader’s attention, affirm the credibility of the cited information, and refer to the type of the information. The little available information on using citations and the possible effect of their native language may lead EFL Arab postgraduates to have their own strategies regarding citations use. Consequently, EFL postgraduate students probably need explicit instructions on the use of citations.

Publications Output of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science during 2008 2017 a Scientometric Assessment


 
 
 The present scientometric study assesses the publication output of the scientists of Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) during 2008 to 2017 as reflected in the Web of Science database to figure out the research performance, scholarly communication behaviour and its citation impact. The scientists of IACS contribute total 4,304 research articles including 22.58 percent international collaborated articles. Further, the publications have been evaluated in terms of year, types of collaboration, authorship pattern, source journals, impact factor, collaborating institutions, collaborating countries and citations. It is found that majority of the published articles are produced by three authored and the international collaborated articles which receive wider citation impact. The developed countries like USA, Japan, Germany and England are found as the most favoured countries by the scientists of IACS for research collaboration and the Journal of Physical Chemistry C shares maximum research articles. Further, Pareto’s 80/20 principle has also been applied to examine the scattering of journals as well as articles and the VOS viewer software has been used for mapping the network of collaborating countries.
 
 

The Citation Practices of the High Court of Australia, 1905–2015

We provide an empirical study of the High Court’s citation to case law and secondary sources at decade intervals between 1905 and 2015. We document trends in the number and type of citations over time, both for the Court as a whole and for the individual Justices. We find that in each of the sample years between 1905 and 1975, the Court cited relatively few authorities and for most of this period the majority of citations were to the Court’s own previous decisions or to decisions of the English courts. However, over the last four sample years—1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015—the Court cited more authority. The Court cited an increasing proportion of its own previous decisions over this period as well as a higher proportion of authority from a more diverse range of sources, including secondary sources, largely at the expense of citations to English cases. We conclude that this reflects the emergence of a distinct Australian common law with the High Court as its final arbitrator.
