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
Scholarly Communication and Publishing Lunch and Learn Talk #11: The ULS Open Access Author Fee Fund

The R&D Tax Incentives
No full textThis article sets out some background information and reflections of the author on the R&D tax incentive schemes included in the Common Corporate Tax Base (CCTB) Proposal. In particular the author analyzes the stimulus to private R&D through ad hoc tax incentives included in the CCTB Proposal and dives into the actual provisions included in the Proposal highlighting the most relevant issues connected with their design and interpretation. Moreover, the author explores the interaction between the CCTB Proposal and the granting by Member States of domestic R&D tax incentives
ESTETIKA GERAK EKOR ORCAELLA BREVIROSTRIS DALAM TEKNIK BAKAR RAKU
No full textTugas Akhir ini memvisualisasikan gagasan dan ide penulis dalam bentuk karya keramik dengan teknik slab dan pinch, yang berangkat dari keindahan gerak ekor ikan pesut yang sangat menarik untuk dijadikan sebuah karya seni. Permasalahan yang dibahas dalam Tugas Akhir ini, yaitu; 1. Apa yang bisa dideskripsikan dari gerak ikan Pesut? 2. Mengapa gerak ekor yang dimiliki ikan pesut begitu indah? 3. Bagaimana cara memberikan penekanan pada bentuk karya seni keramik dengan mengambil karakter gerak ekor Pesut agar muncul nilai estetiknya? Tujuan Tugas Akhir ini adalah: 1. Menjelaskan gambaran gerak keseluruhan ikan pesut, 2. Menyampaikan pesan kepada publik penikmat seni tentang keindahan gerak ikan pesut khususnya gerakan pada ekornya, 3. Memunculkan karakter gerak ekor Pesut dengan karya keramik artistik. Dasar dalam pembuatan karya keramik ini adalah tentang keindahan gerak ekor ikan Pesut dan sebenarnya memiliki keindahan gerak yang indah. Gerak yang indah dapat menginspirasi penulis kemudian dituangkan atau diekspresikan menjadi sebuah karya keramik. Pada pembuatan karya keramik tersebut, penulis memvisualisasikan keindahan gerak ikan Pesut kedalam karya tiga matra yang lebih menekankan gerakan ekor dari mamalia cantik itu dengan imajinasi penulis. Teknik yag digunakan pada pembuatan karya ini adalah teknik pijat (pinching). Teknik ini dipilih penulis supaya mudah dalam memvisualisasikan apa yang ada di dalam pikiran penulis sesuai dengan emosional yang dirasakan dengan pijatan ke media yang digunakan dan diselesaikan dengan teknik bakar raku
Summary of Katharine J. Densford Center Activities and Acccomplishments 2012-2020
No full textThe purpose of this report is to summarize the activity of the Densford Center under the leadership of its third director, Daniel J Pesut, PhD, RN, FAAN, who served from 2012-2020. Detailed in this report is a brief history of the Densford Center followed by annual goals and accomplishments, which are supported by materials in the appendices.
Established in 1997, the Katharine J. Densford International Center for Nursing Leadership was the nation’s first university-based center dedicated to improving health care worldwide through the development and promotion of nurses as leaders. The center is named after Katharine J. Densford, an internationally known leader and director of the School of Nursing from 1930 to 1959. Densford was an independent and visionary woman who changed the face of nursing in Minnesota and across the globe. She held offices in almost every nursing organization of the time and, more importantly, she was an agent for social change. Through her influence, the School of Nursing helped redefine how leadership could benefit patients, nursing, and health care. The center was created to perpetuate the legacy of this pioneering hero, and to assist nurses in addressing contemporary challenges in the same spirit as its namesake. Dr. Mary Jo Kreitzer was named the center’s first director, succeeded by Dr. Joanne Disch.
Building on the work of the previous directors and grounded in the legacy of Katharine Densford, Dr. Pesut aspired to focus on the following goals and objectives
• Convene communities of practice, learning and research regarding nursing leadership, foresight literacy, and interprofessional health professions education
• Educate, coach, and build the competency and confidence of nurse leaders
• Stimulate innovation in nursing and health care through the application and use of creative and design thinking principles
• Communicate the value of nursing influence on policy, practices, and issues related to the greater public good regarding health and a care economy
Appendix A is Dr. Pesut’s curriculum vitae documenting his faculty achievements through time including his tenure at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing. Conference and continuing education Evaluation data of Densford center program offerings is contained in Appendix B.
