MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

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
"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.
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Multi-level personalization of neuromusculoskeletal models to estimate physiologically plausible knee joint contact forces in children
No full textNeuromusculoskeletal models are a powerful tool to investigate the internal biomechanics of an individual. However, commonly used neuromusculoskeletal models are generated via linear scaling of generic templates derived from elderly adult anatomies and poorly represent a child, let alone children with a neuromuscular disorder whose musculoskeletal structures and muscle activation patterns are profoundly altered. Model personalization can capture abnormalities and appropriately describe the underlying (altered) biomechanics of an individual. In this work, we explored the effect of six different levels of neuromusculoskeletal model personalization on estimates of muscle forces and knee joint contact forces to tease out the importance of model personalization for normal and abnormal musculoskeletal structures and muscle activation patterns. For six children, with and without cerebral palsy, generic scaled models were developed and progressively personalized by (1) tuning and calibrating musculotendon units' parameters, (2) implementing an electromyogram-assisted approach to synthesize muscle activations, and (3) replacing generic anatomies with image-based bony geometries, and physiologically and physically plausible muscle kinematics. Biomechanical simulations of gait were performed in the OpenSim and CEINMS software on ten overground walking trials per participant. A mixed-ANOVA test, with Bonferroni corrections, was conducted to compare all models' estimates. The model with the highest level of personalization produced the most physiologically plausible estimates. Model personalization is crucial to produce physiologically plausible estimates of internal biomechanical quantities. In particular, personalization of musculoskeletal anatomy and muscle activation patterns had the largest effect overall. Increased research efforts are needed to ease the creation of personalized neuromusculoskeletal models.sponsorship: Open access funding provided by Alma Mater Studiorum -Universita di Bologna within the CRUI-CARE Agreement.
