U-Index, a dataset and an impact metric for informatics tools and databases

چکیده
Measuring the usage of informatics resources such as software tools and databases is essential to quantifying their impact, value and return on investment. We have developed a publicly available dataset of informatics resource publications and their citation network, along with an associated metric (u-Index) to measure informatics resources' impact over time. Our dataset differentiates the context in which citations occur to distinguish between 'awareness' and 'usage', and uses a citing universe of open access publications to derive citation counts for quantifying impact. Resources with a high ratio of usage citations to awareness citations are likely to be widely used by others and have a high u-Index score. We have pre-calculated the u-Index for nearly 100,000 informatics resources. We demonstrate how the u-Index can be used to track informatics resource impact over time. The method of calculating the u-Index metric, the pre-computed u-Index values, and the dataset we compiled to calculate the u-Index are publicly available.

Solis Graphs and Uniquely Metric Basis Graphs
A set $Wsubset V (G)$ is called a resolving set, if for every two distinct vertices $u, v in V (G)$ there exists $win W$ such that $d(u,w) not = d(v,w)$, where $d(x, y)$ is the distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$. A resolving set for $G$ with minimum cardinality is called a metric basis. A graph with a unique metric basis is called a uniquely dimensional graph. In this paper, we establish...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Risk Assessment Using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and Subtractive Clustering Algorithm
Introduction: The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is a soft computing model based on neural network precision and fuzzy decision-making advantages, which can highly facilitate diagnostic modeling. In this study we used this model in breast cancer detection. Methodology: A set of 1,508 records on cancerous and non-cancerous participant’s risk factors was used. First,...

متن کاملThe Banach Type Contraction for Mappings on Algebraic Cone Metric Spaces Associated with An Algebraic Distance and Endowed with a Graph
In this work, we define the notion of an algebraic distance in algebraic cone metric spaces defined by Niknam et al. [A. Niknam, S. Shamsi Gamchi and M. Janfada, Some results on TVS-cone normed spaces and algebraic cone metric spaces, Iranian J. Math. Sci. Infor. 9 (1) (2014), 71--80] and introduce some its elementary properties. Then we prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed point for a B...
متن کاملSolving Multiple Queries through a Permutation Index in GPU
Query-by-content by means of similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with multimedia data. For this kind of query it is meaningless to look for elements exactly equal to the one given as query. Instead, we need to measure dissimilarity between the query object and each database object. The metric space model is a paradigm that allows modeling all similarity searc...
