Summary: The study aimed to analyze the self-citing behavior of successful candidates in the Allied Health Professions field who applied for National Scientific Qualification (NSQ) in Italy. The results showed differences in self-citation behavior between different sessions, and the changes in self-citation habits were closely related to candidates' citation and publication habits.

Summary: The study examines the effect of fractional counting on the number of publications from 1212 universities and finds that increasing rates of inter-institutional collaboration lead to a higher division of citation impact. This suggests that the structure of research is evolving towards a highly networked model of production. The growing differences in the fractionalization of publications at different levels of citation impact indicate a divergence in the structure of science.

Summary: In this Letter to the Editor, the dimensionless citation indicators h/P, p/P, and i/P are extended to the case of fractional counting by introducing the concepts of Hirsch h-index, performance index of Prathap, and impact value measured by the ratio of citations to publications.

Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the 5-year h-index (h5-index) by nation and examine its relationship with the numbers of neurosurgeons, population, gross domestic product (GDP), and expenditure on health and research. The results showed a strong positive correlation between the h5-index and GDP, proportion of GDP spent on health, and total amount spent on health per capita. In terms of the total number of publications, a strong positive correlation was found with GDP and the total number of neurosurgeons. In conclusion, GDP and health expenditure were found to be the strongest correlates of the h5-index, and a higher number of neurosurgeons did not necessarily result in higher quality research.

Summary: This study found that the Author Impact Factor (AIF) provides intuitive and complementary information to the h-index regarding the research output of neurosurgical authors, with the difference in AIF among different groups not as profound as that of the h-index.

Summary: The h-index is a commonly used measurement of research impact, but it can be easily manipulated by researchers through techniques such as self-citation. A new robust generalization of the h-index, called rh-index, has been proposed to minimize the impact of collaborative citations and maintain the importance of previous citations. The effectiveness of the proposed index was demonstrated by analyzing its effect on 600 Chilean researchers, showing that while some highly cited researchers were minimally affected, others experienced a substantial reduction in their h-index.

Summary: This paper examines and evaluates the impact of mining conflicts on scholars in Latin American, focusing on the mining sector and its recent evolution in socio-ecological conflicts. The study finds that mining conflicts are increasingly concerning scholars and that their management has the potential to address environmental and community protection issues and avoid crises and their consequences.

Summary: Measuring the novelty of scientific papers is a crucial research area. This study examines the disruption metric and its robustness by modifying it to eliminate the noise caused by highly cited references. The results demonstrate that the improved method effectively distinguishes Nobel prize winning papers and provides a stable ranking even when highly cited references and random link removal are taken into account.

Summary: The academic productivity of neurosurgeons with international medical school and residency training did not significantly differ from those trained in the United States. However, dual fellowship training in both domestic and international programs was associated with higher academic productivity.

Summary: The study reveals that citation distributions follow a lognormal distribution, and examining synthetic series of lognormally distributed numbers shows that the h index has a complex dependence on the number of papers. In contrast, the total number of citations and mean number of citations are better indicators of research performance than the h index.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to analyze the top 100 cited articles in nonspecific neck pain (NSNP) research. The articles were selected based on their citation counts from the Web of Science database. The analysis focused on factors such as total citation count, journal, study design, and country of origin. The findings revealed the most influential articles and provided insights into the historical advances in NSNP research.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic literature review of the creative industries using bibliometric and scientometric approaches to provide an intellectual structure for this emerging field. The findings suggest that the field is in its infancy, dominated by a select few authors, sources, and countries, with significant unexplored areas that have potential for research.
