We draw upon diverse datasets to compare the institutional organizational of upstream life science research across the United States and Europe. Understanding cross-national differences in the organization of innovative labor in the life sciences requires attention to the structure and evolution of biomedical networks involving public research organizations (universities, government laboratorie...

formation, it would also have been good if some of the authors and illustrators received the kind of brief descriptions that the author provided for some of the publishing firms. While obviously it is the private or institutional collector of these Tale of Peter Rabbit spinoffs who will find this book most useful, larger libraries or those with a strong interest in publishing history or childre...

Abstract The publication activity of 20 Price-medallists was analysed by calculating several scientometric indices from data elite sets their publications. following (i.e. most cited papers within the total) were obtained: π -set (where number is equal to √ P , and total papers), h (in which equals Hirsch index), 2 -set, set (ECP) are more frequently than average. percentage share citations fou...

(Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench) on in vitro starch digestibility and α-amylase activity Authors: N.L. Mkandawire, R.C. Kaufman, S.R. Bean, C.L. Weller, D.S. Jackson, D.J. Rose Submitted to: Journal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry Recently, the effects of sorghum tannins on starch digestibility in humans have been of interest, since tanins may inhibit starch digestion and contribute to reducing g...

OBJECTIVE To analyze up-to-date Hirsch index (h-index) data to estimate the scholarly productivity of academic radiation oncology faculty. METHODS Bibliometric citation database searches were performed for radiation oncology faculty at domestic residency-training institutions. Outcomes analyzed included the number of manuscripts, number of citations, and h-index between 1996 and 2012. Analyse...

Since the introduction of the h-index in 2005 (Hirsch, 2005), many h-type indices have been proposed. In this short note, we propose yet another h-type index, which differs from other proposals in the way that it takes recent change in the value of the h-index into account. As such, we are convinced that this proposal is more useful for hiring purposes than the lifetime-achievement h-index. For...

OBJECTIVES To compare H index scores for healthcare researchers returned by Google Scholar, Web of Science and Scopus databases, and to assess whether a researcher's age, country of institutional affiliation and physician status influences calculations. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred and ninety-five Nobel laureates in Physiology and Medicine from 1901 to 2009 were considered. Year of first ...

OBJECTIVE To calculate the h-index for neurosurgeons in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and to assess its association with a number of features relating to neurosurgical practice in KSA. METHODS The h-index for 84 neurosurgeons that worked in KSA during 1990-2013 was evaluated using Google Scholar during the period September to October 2014. The correlation between the h-index and a number...
