Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

No full textThe RNA recognition motif protein RBM11 is a novel tissue-specific splicing regulator.
No full textMammalian tissues display a remarkable complexity of splicing patterns. Nevertheless, only few examples of tissue-specific splicing regulators are known. Herein, we characterize a novel splicing regulator named RBM11, which contains an RNA Recognition Motif (RRM) at the amino terminus and a region lacking known homology at the carboxyl terminus. RBM11 is selectively expressed in brain, cerebellum and testis, and to a lower extent in kidney. RBM11 mRNA levels fluctuate in a developmentally regulated manner, peaking perinatally in brain and cerebellum, and at puberty in testis, in concomitance with differentiation events occurring in neurons and germ cells. Deletion analysis indicated that the RRM of RBM11 is required for RNA binding, whereas the carboxyl terminal region permits nuclear localization and homodimerization. RBM11 is localized in the nucleoplasm and enriched in SRSF2-containing splicing speckles. Transcription inhibition/release experiments and exposure of cells to stress revealed a dynamic movement of RBM11 between nucleoplasm and speckles, suggesting that its localization is affected by the transcriptional status of the cell. Splicing assays revealed a role for RBM11 in the modulation of alternative splicing. In particular, RBM11 affected the choice of alternative 5' splice sites in BCL-X by binding to specific sequences in exon 2 and antagonizing the SR protein SRSF1. Thus, our findings identify RBM11 as a novel tissue-specific splicing factor with potential implication in the regulation of alternative splicing during neuron and germ cell differentiation

No full text"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
