Patterns of Connections and Movements in Dual-Map Overlays: A New Method of Publication Portfolio Analysis

向作者/读者索取更多资源

Portfolio analysis of the publication profile of a unit of interest, ranging from individuals and organizations to a scientific field or interdisciplinary programs, aims to inform analysts and decision makers about the position of the unit, where it has been, and where it may go in a complex adaptive environment. A portfolio analysis may aim to identify the gap between the current position of an organization and a goal that it intends to achieve or identify competencies of multiple institutions. We introduce a new visual analytic method for analyzing, comparing, and contrasting characteristics of publication portfolios. The new method introduces a novel design of dual-map thematic overlays on global maps of science. Each publication portfolio can be added as one layer of dual-map overlays over 2 related, but distinct, global maps of science: one for citing journals and the other for cited journals. We demonstrate how the new design facilitates a portfolio analysis in terms of patterns emerging from the distributions of citation threads and the dynamics of trajectories as a function of space and time. We first demonstrate the analysis of portfolios defined on a single source article. Then we contrast publication portfolios of multiple comparable units of interest; namely, colleges in universities and corporate research organizations. We also include examples of overlays of scientific fields. We expect that our method will provide new insights to portfolio analysis.

The measurement of interdisciplinarity and synergy in scientific andextra-scientificcollaborations

Loet Leydesdorff, Inga Ivanova

Summary: Problem solving often requires crossing boundaries, and synergy is generated when the whole offers more possibilities than the sum of its parts. The measurement of synergy requires a methodology different from the measurement of interdisciplinarity.

How do Price medalists' scholarly impact change before and after their awards?

Jianhua Hou, Bili Zheng, Yang Zhang, Chaomei Chen

Summary: Research shows that the Price Medal may not necessarily significantly boost the scholarly potential, actual academic impact, and collaboration patterns of its recipients. However, the SVA method is a better indicator for evaluating Price Medalists, especially within five-year time windows.

A discussion of measuring the top-1% most-highly cited publications: quality and impact of Chinese papers

Caroline S. Wagner, Lin Zhang, Loet Leydesdorff

Summary: Using Web of Science data, it is found that China has surpassed the USA and EU in the relative participation in the top-1% most-highly-cited articles. However, the quality of China's scientific output is still debated due to the difference in field normalizations and the use of average citation rates.

Half a century of research on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A scientometric study

Samuele Cortese, Michel Sabe, Chaomei Chen, Nader Perroud, Marco Solmi

Summary: This study conducted a scientometric analysis of the scientific literature on ADHD to identify key themes and trends. The findings indicate that research on ADHD has primarily focused on treatment, neurophysiology, genetics, and comorbidity. The study highlights the dominance of a medical model in ADHD research and emphasizes the need for further investigation into psychosocial aspects related to ADHD.

Trajectories and regimes in research versus knowledge evaluations: Contributions to an evolutionary theory of citation

Loet Leydesdorff, Lin Zhang, Paul Wouters

Summary: Citation analysis provides models for studying the evolutionary dynamics of scholarly communication. This study proposes distinguishing between institutional research evaluation and knowledge evaluation in citation analysis, and discusses the role of redundancy as a measure of communication potential. It uses indicators at the journal level to analyze citation environments in both the cited and citing directions, and confirms that interdisciplinarity cannot be captured by one-dimensional citation analysis. The study raises questions about developing indicators of interdisciplinarity and discusses the normative implications of the results.

Fatma Yardibi, Chaomei Chen, Mehmet Ziya Firat, Burak Karacaoren, Esra Suzen

Summary: This study aims to identify trends and hot topics in breeding value by analyzing academic studies on the topic in the Web of Science database. The most cited work and influential country in breeding value studies are identified, and the important institutions and authors in the field are also highlighted. Genomic prediction is found to be the outstanding sub-study field in the analysis results. The hot topics in breeding value today include genome-wide association, feed efficiency, and genomic prediction.

Have Quadruple and Quintuple Helices Emerged? Metaphors, Project Titles, and Empirical Research

Helen Lawton Smith, Loet Leydesdorff

Summary: The Triple Helix model, proposing the interactions among universities, industry, and government, has been the basis for studying entrepreneurship. However, additional helix structures may add little to the discourse. This article responds to criticisms and discusses convenience, presentation, and the need for a more unified theory model.

Triple, Quadruple, and Higher-Order Helices: Historical Phenomena and (Neo-)Evolutionary Models

Loet Leydesdorff, Helen Lawton Smith

Summary: This article suggests using quadruple and quintuple helices as models to encompass and generalize triple-helix dynamics. The transition from a double helix to a triple helix can change the dynamics, while higher-order transitions can be decomposed and recombined into interacting triple helices. Additionally, measurement can inform policy-making based on the type of innovation system.

Synergy and policy-making in German innovation systems: Smart Specialisation Strategies at national, regional, local levels?

Henriette Ruhrmann, Michael Fritsch, Loet Leydesdorff

Summary: The tools for developing Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3) to assess innovation concentration at different territorial levels are limited. The triple helix indicator can help evaluate synergy in innovation systems based on available data. In Germany, innovation system decentralization is strong, with synergy concentrated at regional and local levels. Manufacturing innovation systems are less regionalized compared to knowledge-intensive services, and an East-West divide persists. RIS3 policy-making should consider decentralization and capacity building for region-specific development at lower governance levels.
