Summary: Skewed citation distribution is a major limitation of the Journal Impact Factor (JIF), with highly-cited articles serving as outliers. Replacing mean citation values with the median resulted in significantly lower numerical values, indicating a more accurate representation of the citation distribution. The study provides comprehensive insights into the prevalence, extent, and consequences of citation inequality in medical and all-category journals listed in the JCR.

Summary: Alasdair MacIntyre's article critiques the dominant framework in applied ethics, but its overall impact on the scientific community has not been systematically studied. Through citation concept analysis, it is found that most authors focus on the universal and abstract nature of applied ethics and the relationship between moral theory and its application, while disregarding the political content of MacIntyre's paper. This research proposes a future research agenda to realize and appropriately represent the full potential of MacIntyre's paper.

Summary: This article reviews the evidence for factors affecting research citation rates and quality, and examines studies that estimate article quality or predict long-term citation counts using statistical regression or machine learning. The review lists various factors associated with higher citation counts or quality in certain contexts, but the strength and direction of association often depend on the specific set of papers examined. The strongest patterns found include the consistent usefulness of journal citation rates, author numbers, reference properties, and international collaboration in predicting higher citation counts.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of incentives on review quality by paying reviewers and the influence of authors' payment decisions in the peer review process. The study finds that under a hybrid peer review model where authors decide whether to pay, the price and quality of optional speedy peer review are always higher than under the benchmark scenario of paid peer-reviewing.

Summary: Reviewers may be influenced by cognitive biases when reviewing, leading to incorrect editorial decisions for authors. A high fraud cost may result in an efficient equilibrium in peer review processes. Specialization equilibrium may occur when authors choose top journals with truthful editorial decisions.

Summary: This paper introduces the concepts of sensitivity and specificity to describe the accuracy of the peer review process. It explains how sensitivity measures the ability to correctly accept manuscripts that meet the required standards, and how specificity measures the ability to correctly reject manuscripts that do not meet those standards. The paper highlights the importance of sensitivity and specificity in improving the ethical conduct and validity of peer review processes.

Summary: This article examines two models of compensated peer review, cross-subsidy and buy-one-give-one, and finds that the buy-one-give-one scenario provides a higher total sum of financial and social gain when the mission-driven journals are highly socially responsible or when the social gap between high-income and low-income authors is large enough.

Summary: In this article, the authors study a cooperative peer-review scenario in scholarly publishing, where peer-reviewed journals cooperate in the necessary investment for the peer-review system. The findings show that by sharing the cost, the journals can offer a higher review quality than they would be able to achieve individually. They also identify the conditions under which the competing journals using cooperative peer review can increase their expected quality levels, standards for accepting articles, and peer-review quality.

Summary: This paper presents a new method for measuring node centrality in a multilayer network. The method integrates the importance assigned to each node by different layers, resulting in a centrality score called the corner centrality. The proposed algorithm has been tested with different configurations of multilayer networks and has shown excellent results. It is also computationally efficient and has low memory requirements.

Summary: Authors, editors, and reviewers need to accurately perceive the quality of a manuscript in order to improve their skills and prevent errors. This paper compared the author's perception of a manuscript's quality with its actual impact and analyzed the uncertainty in this perception. A website was launched to help researchers improve their understanding of manuscript quality, and the experiment showed that the Abstract, Title, and Keywords were sufficient for evaluating a manuscript in less than a minute.

Summary: This paper proposes a method for authors to choose alternative keywords that can increase the visibility of their papers. These alternative keywords should have popularity in the scientific community and less competition. The authors developed an algorithm based on attention and survival scores to recommend alternative keywords. The use of ontologies ensures the semantic relationship between alternative and input keywords.
