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
Participation in screening for cardiovascular risk by people with schizophrenia or similar mental illnesses: cross sectional study in general practice
No full textGoing 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.
La synagogue de la rue Notre-Dame de Nazareth, lieu de construction d 'une culture juive parisienne et d 'un regard sur les Juifs
No full textIn the Nineteenth Century France, where the expression of Jewish identity is possible only as religious confession, the synagogue becomes the central edifice of a community who is also institutionally centralized, and the best place for building a cultural synthesis of jewish traditions and modem obligations following from Francization. The most representative synagogue of this process is situated in Paris, Notre-Dame de Nazareth street ; it has been built in 1822 and rebuilt in 1852. That was the occasion to debate on which model or style to choose to translate this new definition of Jewish identity, better said "Israelite" identity.Dans la France du XIXe siècle où l'expression d'une identité différente ne peut passer que par le cadre confessionnel, la synagogue devient non seulement le lieu de culte central d'une communauté elle-même institutionnellement centralisée, mais aussi l'espace privilégié d'élaboration d'une culture de synthèse entre valeurs traditionnelles juives et impératifs modernes liés à la francisation. Le lieu le plus représentatif de ces mutations est la synagogue consistoriale de la rue Notre-Dame de Nazareth, bâtie en 1822 et reconstruite en 1852. Cette reconstruction est l'occasion d'un débat architectural sur le modèle à suivre et le style adopter, en relation avec cette redéfinition de l'identité juive, devenue «israélite».Jarrassé Dominique.

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
