Abstract

The acknowledgments in scientific publications are an important feature in the scholarly communication process. This research analyzes funding acknowledgment presence in scientific publications and introduces a novel approach for discovering text patterns by discipline in the acknowledgment section of papers. First, the presence of acknowledgments in 38,257 English-language papers published by Spanish researchers in 2010 is studied by subject area on the basis of the funding acknowledgment information available in the Web of Science database. Funding acknowledgments are present in two thirds of Spanish articles, with significant differences by subject area, number of authors, impact factor of journals, and, in one specific area, basic/applied nature of research. Second, the existence of specific acknowledgment patterns in English-language papers of Spanish researchers in 4 selected subject categories (cardiac and cardiovascular systems, economics, evolutionary biology, and statistics and probability) is explored through a combination of text mining and multivariate analyses. "Peer interactive communication" predominates in the more theoretical or social-oriented fields (statistics and probability, economics), whereas the recognition of technical assistance is more common in experimental research (evolutionary biology), and the mention of potential conflicts of interest emerges forcefully in the clinical field (cardiac and cardiovascular systems). The systematic inclusion of structured data about acknowledgments in journal articles and bibliographic databases would have a positive impact on the study of collaboration practices in science.

Abstract

This study explores the usefulness of bibliometric analyses to detect trends in the research profile of a therapeutic drug, for which Aspirin was selected. A total of 22,144 documents dealing with Aspirin and published in journals covered by MEDLINE during the years 19652001 are studied. The research profile of Aspirin over the 37-year period is analyzed through Aspirin subheadings and McSH indexing terms. Half of the documents had Aspirin as a major indexing term, being the main aspects studied therapeutic uses (28% of the documents), pharmacodynamics (26%), adverse effects (18%), and administration and dosage (10%). A frequency data table crossing indexing terms x years is examined by correspondence analysis to obtain time trends, which are shown graphically in a map. Four time periods with a different distribution of indexing terms are identified through cluster analysis. The indexing term profile of every period is obtained by comparison of the distribution of indexing terms of each cluster with that of the whole period by means of the Chi-2 test. The research profile of the drug tends to change faster with time. The most relevant finding is the expanding therapeutic Profile of Aspirin over the period. The main advantages and limitations of the methodology are pointed out.

Abstract

This study presents an analysis of the use of bibliographic references by individual scientists in three different research areas. The number and type of references that scientists include in their papers are analyzed, the relationship between the number of references and different impact-based indicators is studied from a multivariable perspective, and the referencing patterns of scientists are related to individual factors such as their age and scientific performance. Our results show inter-area differences in the number, type, and age of references. Within each area, the number of references per document increases with journal impact factor and paper length. Top-performance scientists use in their papers a higher number of references, which are more recent and more frequently covered by the Web of Science. Veteran researchers tend to rely more on older literature and non-Web of Science sources. The longer reference lists of top scientists can be explained by their tendency to publish in high impact factor journals, with stricter reference and reviewing requirements. Long reference lists suggest a broader knowledge on the current literature in a field, which is important to become a top scientist. From the perspective of the "handicap principle theory," the sustained use of a high number of references in an author's oeuvre is a costly behavior that may indicate a serious, comprehensive, and solid research capacity, but that only the best researchers can afford. Boosting papers' citations by artificially increasing the number of references does not seem a feasible strategy.
