Item Altmetrics 101(2016-12-08) Coates, Heather L.Item A Bibliometric Analysis of an International Research Ethics Trainee Program(2013-12) Fix, Jonathan; Odell, Jere D.; Sina, Barbara; Meslin, Eric M.; Goodman, Ken; Upshur, RossWe used bibliometric analysis to evaluate the citations associated with publications by trainees in the Fogarty International Center’s International Research Ethics Education and Curriculum Development program. Papers published between 2004 and 2008 were identified for analysis. The outcome measures were total citations, h-index, and i-10. A total of 328 manuscripts were identified, with a yearly average of 66 publications and 363 citations. The median number of citations per paper is 3 (IQR Q1–Q3:6). 12.6% (n = 53) of papers were cited over 10 times and the h-index is 22, indicating that 22 papers had been cited at least 22 times. The data indicate that trainees have been productive and contributed to the scholarly literature. Future studies to benchmark this performance with other bioethics education programs are required to make interpretation of citation analysis more meaningful.Item Bibliometric Study In The Heartland: Comparative and Electronic Citation Practices of the Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio Supreme Courts (1994-2004)(2007) Cosanici, DragomirThis study provides a bibliometric, comparative study of the citation practices of the state supreme courts in the common law jurisdictions of Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio, USA during a recent ten-year span (1994-2004). It focuses on the type of legal materials most frequently cited as authority, examining the importance of both primary and secondary sources. It specifically analyzes the growing usage of electronic citations by the four supreme courts.Item Characterization of the highly cited articles published by a genetics research department: an exploratory study.(2021-05-24) Ramirez, Mirian; Whipple, Elizabeth C.OBJECTIVES: To identify and assess highly cited papers included in the Web of Science Essential Science Indicators, this study looked at authors affiliated with a specific department at a School of Medicine from 2010-2019. For this study, we examined authorship characteristics, including female authorship trends, subject trends, and intramural and extramural co-authorship networks. This approach aims to highlight research impact trends to inform the department's leaders in decision-making for future publication and research strategy development directions. METHODS: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications from faculty in a specific department at a School of Medicine over the last ten years (2010-2019). The searches were conducted in June 2020. We used a three-phase approach to find those departmental articles ranked as "highly cited papers" in the Web of Science (WoS) "Essential Science Indicators" database: Phase 1. We queried Scopus to gather publications listing the author's departmental affiliation; Phase 2. Queried the WoS Core Collection for all the citations resulted in the Scopus search and limited the search to return only the publications identified as "Highly Cited" papers; Phase 3. Used PubMed to compile funding information due to its more standardized format of reported funding support. We utilized the OpenRefine tool to perform cleanup and cluster the author name lists and Excel to work with datasets of bibliometric data. CONCLUSIONS: For the 2010-2019 time frame, a total of 1,077 articles (original articles and review articles) were published by this department, with 37 documents identified as Highly Cited, categorized by WoS Essential Indicators. Identified documents were categorized under ten research fields and were published in 17 journals, from diverse WoS subject categories, including Neuroscience, Oncology, and Genetics research fields. The results show that Highly cited articles were published in 17 high-impact journals ranked in Q1 and Q2. Indicative of that, the highly cited papers have a strong relationship between the impact factors. 38% of the documents correspond to case-control studies. Topics covering "Genome-wide Association Study", "Genetic predisposition to disease," and Polymorphism, single nucleotide" are among the most used MeSH terms ."Item Cracking the Code of Geo-Identifiers: Harnessing Data-Based Decision-Making for the Public Good(International Conference on Advanced Research Methods and Analytics, 2022) Herzog, Patricia SnellThe accessibility of official statistics to non-expert users could be aided by employing natural language processing and deep learning models to dataset lexicons. Specifically, the semantic structure of FIPS codes would offer a relatively standardized data dictionary of column names and string variable structure to identify: two-digits for states, followed by three-digits for counties. The technical, methodological contribution of this paper is a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications based on FIPS code analysis indicated that between 27,954 and 1,970,000 publications attend to this geo-identifier. Within a single dataset reporting national representative and longitudinal survey data, 141 publications utilize FIPS data. The high incidence shows the research impact. Yet, the low proportion of only 2.0 percent of all publications utilizing this dataset also shows a gap even among expert users. A data use case drawn from public health data implies that cracking the code of geo-identifiers could advance access by helping everyday users formulate data inquiries within intuitive language.Item Demonstrating impact as a practitioner-researcher(Figshare: https://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.3180370.v3, 2016-04-18) Coates, Heather L.Librarians have a unique perspective on the scholarly ecosystem as authors, consumers, and stewards. This perspective, combined with our roles in collecting and curating information, enables librarians to identify changes in policy, practice, and technology that can improve the openness, transparency, and sustainability of the scholarly ecosystem. It also reveals opportunities for aligning institutional and professional incentives with these changes. I will share examples of evidence used in my promotion and tenure dossier to demonstrate how librarian practitioner-scholars can be both advocates and exemplars for the changes we want to see in open access, data, and educational resources.Item Exploring Public Health Citation Networks: A Pilot Project to Determine the Publishing Patterns in Racial and Ethnic Health Disparity Research(2018-05) Hinrichs, Rachel J.; Pike, CaitlinObjective: The study identifies the most heavily cited journal titles, publication types, and subject disciplines in racial and ethnic health disparities research. The overall goal is to assist librarians with collection assessment for diversity and disparity-related research, and to provide a resource to assist faculty with identifying potential sources for publication. Methods: Using a modified version of the literature mapping protocol developed by the Nursing and Allied Health Resources Section, this study analyzed the references from research articles published in 2016 in racial and ethnic health disparities journals. Four journals were selected based on coverage of racial and ethnic disparities, and input from health disparities researchers. For eachreference, publication type, publication date, and journal title, if it is an article, was recorded. To identify the core journals, cited journals were divided into three zones using Bradford’s Law of Scattering. A single subject discipline was assigned to each core journal based on Library of Congress classification, as determined by Ulrich’s Web. Results: 332 articles from four journals yielded 13,023 references. Journal articles were the most heavily cited publication type (n=10,596, 81%), followed bygovernment reports (n=1005, 8%). Age of citations ranged 163 years, with 41% (n=5339) of citations occurring within the previous 8 years. The peak age of citations for articles was 6 years. Forty-two core journals accounted for 33.8% of all citations. Themost common subject disciplines of these core journals were medicine (n=15), and public health and population health (n=15), followed by ethnic interests (n=4). Conclusion: Similar to other public health-related fields, racial and ethnic health disparity research draws from a very diverse pool of subject disciplines from medicine to public health to the social sciences, and relies on older articles and reports published within the last twenty years. However, racial and ethnic disparity research does not rely as heavily on government reports or miscellaneous items as other public health and social services disciplines.Item Gender and Geographic Origin as Determinants of Manuscript Publication Outcomes: JBMR® Bibliometric Analysis from 2017 to 2019(Wiley, 2022-08-05) Rivadeneira, Fernando; Loder, Randall T.; McGuire, Anthony C.; Chitwood, Joseph R.; Duffy, Katie; Civitelli, Roberto; Kacena, Melissa A.; Westendorf, Jennifer J.; Orthopaedic Surgery, School of MedicineThe Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (JBMR®), the flagship journal of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR), enjoys a premiere position in its field and has a global reach. The journal uses a single-blind peer-review process whereby three editors are typically involved in assessing each submission for publication, in addition to external reviewers. Although emphasizing fairness, rigor, and transparency, this process is not immune to the influence of unconscious biases. The gender and geographic diversity of JBMR® authors, editors, and reviewers has increased over the last three decades, but whether such diversity has affected peer-review outcomes is unknown. We analyzed manuscript acceptance rates based on the gender and geographic origin of authors, reviewers, and Associate Editors. The analysis included 1662 original research articles submitted to JBMR® from September 2017 through December 2019. Gender was assigned using probabilities from an online tool and manually validated through internet searches. Predictor variables of manuscript outcome were determined with multivariate logistic regression analysis. The acceptance rate was highest when the first and last authors were of different genders, and lowest when both authors were men. Reviewer gender did not influence the outcome regardless of the genders of the first and last authors. Associate Editors from all geographical regions tended to select reviewers from their same region. The acceptance rate was highest when the Associate Editor was from Europe. Manuscripts with authors from North America and Australia/New Zealand had greater overall odds of acceptance than those from Europe and Asia. Manuscripts reviewed only by Editorial Board (EB) members had a lower acceptance rate than those refereed by non-EB reviewers or a mix of EB and non-EB reviewers. Overall, the geographical origin of authors, reviewers, and editors, as well as reviewers' EB membership may influence manuscript decisions. Yet, the JBMR® peer-review process remains largely free from gender bias.Item Mapping Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion research in medical education journals: An exploratory bibliometric analysis, 2018-2022(2023-05-16) Ramirez, Mirian; Dolan, LeviObjectives: More medical schools are incorporating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) competencies into their institutional practices as the academic medicine community support programs and projects designed to build cultural humility in medical education, clinical care, and research. This study aims to identify and analyze items covering DEI-related topics published in medical education journals in the last five years (2018-2022). We performed a bibliometric analysis investigating the overall patterns of published articles, including the annual publication distribution, distribution by journal, and analysis of keywords. This approach aims to contribute to a better understanding of the characteristics of DEI-related research in medical education. Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis on articles published in a set of 56 core medical education journals indexed in Pubmed from 2018 to 2022. The searches were conducted in January 2023. To retrieve and gather citations for published articles, we used the Pubmed database. First, we used the NLM catalog to search and identify the subset of journals that are referenced in NCBI database records classified with “Education,Medical”[Mesh] OR "education"[MeSH Subheading] in the English language. Next, we developed and executed a comprehensive search to find articles that contained terms related to DEI; we used the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Competencies Across the Learning Continuum" ([LINK]https://store.aamc.org/downloadable/download/sample/sample_id/512/[/LINK]) as a guide to identifying the terminology to use in the search. We used Excel to aggregate, clean up and analyze the data,and VOSviewer software was utilized to create the topic analysis and visualization map. Results: For the 2018-2022 time frame, 3,158 (out of 33,395, 9.5%) publications covering DEI topics were published in the selected journals. We will undertake term co-occurrence analysis on the keywords in the abstract as well as publishing trend analysis, source analysis, and overall dataset analysis as part of our study. Conclusions: This poster will show an examination of articles about DEI subjects written in medical education journals over the previous five years and indexed in Pubmed. We will outline the characteristics of the top journals that published the research and topic trends of articles. The findings may support researchers and faculty in the health sciences disciplines when making decisions for developing a publication and research strategy. Researchers who seek DEI pathways to meet their promotion and tenure criteria will also benefit from understanding the results of this analysis.Item Mapping longitudinal scientific progress, collaboration and impact of the Alzheimer’s disease neuroimaging initiative(PLOS, 2017-11-02) Yao, Xiaohui; Yan, Jingwen; Ginda, Michael; Börner, Katy; Saykin, Andrew J.; Shen, Li; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineBackground Alzheimer’s disease neuroimaging initiative (ADNI) is a landmark imaging and omics study in AD. ADNI research literature has increased substantially over the past decade, which poses challenges for effectively communicating information about the results and impact of ADNI-related studies. In this work, we employed advanced information visualization techniques to perform a comprehensive and systematic mapping of the ADNI scientific growth and impact over a period of 12 years. Methods Citation information of ADNI-related publications from 01/01/2003 to 05/12/2015 were downloaded from the Scopus database. Five fields, including authors, years, affiliations, sources (journals), and keywords, were extracted and preprocessed. Statistical analyses were performed on basic publication data as well as journal and citations information. Science mapping workflows were conducted using the Science of Science (Sci2) Tool to generate geospatial, topical, and collaboration visualizations at the micro (individual) to macro (global) levels such as geospatial layouts of institutional collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence networks, and author collaboration networks evolving over time. Results During the studied period, 996 ADNI manuscripts were published across 233 journals and conference proceedings. The number of publications grew linearly from 2008 to 2015, so did the number of involved institutions. ADNI publications received much more citations than typical papers from the same set of journals. Collaborations were visualized at multiple levels, including authors, institutions, and research areas. The evolution of key ADNI research topics was also plotted over the studied period. Conclusions Both statistical and visualization results demonstrate the increasing attention of ADNI research, strong citation impact of ADNI publications, the expanding collaboration networks among researchers, institutions and ADNI core areas, and the dynamic evolution of ADNI research topics. The visualizations presented here can help improve daily decision making based on a deep understanding of existing patterns and trends using proven and replicable data analysis and visualization methods. They have great potential to provide new insights and actionable knowledge for helping translational research in AD.
