Guidelines for the Enhancement of the Corpus and the Verismo Vocabulary
Michael Bassi, Giovanni Salucci
VIVer is a digital lexicography project with historical-literary and historical-linguistic aims that can be considered a case study of a Digital Humanities project. This paper presents the IT choices made to promote the dissemination and enhancement of the results, analysing the issues and advantages for wider adoption, beyond the specific VIVer project, serving as a model and inspiration for future projects.
Detection of the papermilling behavior
Igor Podlubny
Based on the analysis of the data obtainable from the Web of Science publication and citation database, typical signs of possible papermilling behavior are described, quantified, and illustrated by examples. A MATLAB function is provided for the analysis of the outputs from the Web of Science. A new quantitative indicator -- integrity index, or I-index -- is proposed for using it along with standard bibliographic and scientometric indicators. A case study is presented.
Synia: Displaying data from Wikibases
Finn Årup Nielsen
I present an agile method and a tool to display data from Wikidata and other Wikibase instances via SPARQL queries. The work-in-progress combines ideas from the Scholia Web application and the Listeria tool.
The Biscari Archive. A case study of the application of Transkribus tool
Salvatore Spina
The Paterno' Castello Principi di Biscari Archive, preserved at the State Archives of Catania, amongst one of the most crucial family archives, is, in the light of a digital historical methodology, the best computable historical heritage for demonstrating the applicability of applying an HTR tool, such as Transkribus, to digitised historical documents.
P-Index
Shiva P. Pudasaini
I propose the P-Index that genuinely constitutes a well-defined, compact author citation metric.
Open comments on the Task Force SIRS report: Scholarly Infrastructures for Research Software (EOSC Executive Board, EOSCArchitecture)
Teresa Gomez-Diaz, Tomas Recio
The goal of this document is to openly contribute with our comments to the EOSCArchitecture report: Scholarly Infrastructures for Research Software (SIRS), and thus, to participate in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) architecture design.
E-Commerce and E-Health Strategies and Implementation Activities in the United Kingdom: Review Study
Solomiia Fedushko, Liubov Shevchuk, Anastasiia Poritska
et al.
This study deals with the review of e-commerce and e-health. The investigation of e-commerce and e-health in the United Kingdom is proposed. The related works of e-commerce and e-health sectors is analysed. The world market for e-commerce is studied.
Please, no more scientific journals! The strategy of the scientific publication system
Miguel A. Fortuna
In the same way ecosystems tend to increase maturity by decreasing the flow of energy per unit biomass, we should move towards a more mature science by publishing less but high-quality papers and getting away from joining large teams in small roles. That is, we should decrease our scientific productivity for good.
Infrastructure-Agnostic Hypertext
Jakob Voß
This paper presents a novel and formal interpretation of the original vision of hypertext: infrastructure-agnostic hypertext is independent from specific standards such as data formats and network protocols. Its model is illustrated with examples and references to existing technologies that allow for implementation and integration in current information infrastructures such as the Internet.
A Datamining Approach to the Short Title Catalogue Flanders: the Case of Early Modern Quiring Practices
Tom Deneire
This paper contains a data mining approach to the Short Title Catalogue Flanders (http://www.stcv.be/), which aims to record all books printed in Flanders up to 1801 (24.850 editions, per 31/08/2018). More specifically, it aims to analyse the Early Modern practice of 'quiring' gatherings in handpress book production
A modification to Hirsch index allowing comparisons across different scientific fields
Jiri Mazurek
The aim of this paper is to propose a simple modification to the original measure, the relative Hirsch index, which assigns each researcher a value between 0 (the bottom) and 1 (the top), expressing his/her distance to the top in a given field. By this normalization scholars from different scientific disciplines can be compared.
Prominent but Less Productive: The Impact of Interdisciplinarity on Scientists' Research
Erin Leahey, Christine Beckman, Taryn Stanko
Inter-disciplinary research (IDR) is being promoted by federal agencies and universities nationwide because it presumably spurs transformative, innovative science. In this paper we bring empirical data to assess whether IDR is indeed beneficial, and whether costs accompany potential benefits.
Research at UNIS - The University Centre in Svalbard. A bibliometric study
Johannes Stegmann
The scientific output 1994-2014 of the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) was bibliometrically analysed. It was found that the majority of the papers have been published as international cooperations and rank above world average. Analysis of the content of the papers reveals that UNIS works and publishes in a wide variety of scientific topics.
Paradigm shifts. Part I. Collagen. Confirming and complementing the work of Henry Small
Johannes Stegmann
The paradigm shift in collagen research during the early 1970s marked by the discovery of the collagen precursor molecule procollagen was traced using co-citation analysis and title word frequency determination, confirming previous work performed by Henry Small.
How many citations are there in the Data Citation Index?
Daniel Torres-Salinas, Evaristo Jiménez-Contreras, Nicolas Robinson-García
Descriptive analysis on the citation distribution of the Thomson Reuters' Data Citation Index by publication type and four broad areas: Science, Engineering & Technology, Humanities & Arts and Social Sciences.
Statistiques et visibilité des bibliothèques numériques : quelles stratégies de diffusion ?
Mathieu Andro, Gaëtan Tröger
We compared statistics of major digital libraries and we tried to see if there is a relationship between the volume of digital libraries and online visibility of each digitized document. Finally, we analyzed the consequences of the diffusion strategies of French digital libraries. The statistics were obtained by survey, gray literature, alexa.com, and Google Trends.
Technologie et pratiques bibliographiques associées à l'écriture scientifique en milieu universitaire
Gérald Kembellec
Observe and understand users of the Scientific and Technical Information, is preparing to offer them appropriate services. This exploratory study provides answers about the uses in the humanities, social sciences as well as technical sciences. We also observe those who assist teachers in their scientific research: librarians. Then we outline considerations and recommendations to specify functionalities of an efficient e-Linrary.
A semantic cache for enhancing Web services communities activities: Health care case study
Hela Limam, Jalel Akaichi
Collective memories are strong support for enhancing the activities of capitalization, management and dissemination inside a Web services community.
A measure of similarity between scientific journals and of diversity of a list of publications
Stéphane Cordier
The aim of this note is to propose a definition of the scientific diversity and corollarly, a measure of the "interdisciplinarity" of collaborations. With respect to previous studies, the proposed approach consists of 2 steps : first, the definition of similarity between journals and second, these similarities are used to characterize the homogeneity (or, on the contrary the diversity) of a publication list (that can be for one individual or a team).
PDF/A standard for long term archiving
Ramona Vasilescu
PDF/A is defined by ISO 19005-1 as a file format based on PDF format. The standard provides a mechanism for representing electronic documents in a way that preserves their visual appearance over time, independent of the tools and systems used for creating or storing the files.
