Many fields face an increasing prevalence of multi-authorship, and this poses challenges in assessing citation metrics. Here, we explore multiple citation indicators that address total impact (number of citations, Hirsch H index [H]), co-authorship adjustment (Schreiber Hm index [Hm]), and author order (total citations to papers as single; single or first; or single, first, or last author). We ...

Identifying writing style shifts and variations are fundamental capabilities when addressing authorship related tasks. In this work we examine a simplified approach for unsupervised authorship and plagiarism detection which is based on binary bag of words representation. We evaluate our approach using PAN-2012 Authorship Attribution challenge data, which includes both open/closed class authorsh...

This paper gives an overview of the evaluation methodology applied to authorship identification solutions as part of PAN 2011. The two variations of authorship identification that were explored were authorship attribution, determining which of a known set of authors wrote a text, and authorship verification, determining if a specific authors did or did not write a text. We summarize the methods...

Introduction and literature review Co-authorship network, a proxy of research collaboration, reveals the collaboration patterns and the determining factors through social network analysis perspective, with nodes representing authors and links representing co-authorships (Ortega, 2014; Yan & Ding, 2009). If we know what mechanisms push the evolution of coauthorship network, we could predict whic...

Properly assigning authorship of academic papers is often an ethical challenge. Through a hypothetical case study, the authors examine some of the potential ethical issues involved in determining who should and should not be listed as an author: the problems of honorary authorship, coerced authorship, and ghost authorship, as well as the question of how to order authors. Guidelines for avoiding...

Misuse of anonymous online communication for illegal purposes has become a major concern [2,12]. In this paper, we present a framework named ART (Authorship Recognition Tool), that is designed to minimize manual procedures and maximize the efficiency of authorship identification based on the content of Internet electronic documents. The framework covers the phases of document retrieval and data...

We study the national production of academic knowledge in all Iberoamerican and Caribbean countries between 1973 and 2007. We show that the total number of mainstream scientific publications listed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) follows an exponential growth, the same as the national productivity expre...

Multiple authorship is becoming increasingly common in bioethics research. There are well-established criteria for authorship in empirical bioethics research but not for conceptual research. It is important to develop criteria for authorship in conceptual publications to prevent undeserved authorship and uphold standards of fairness and accountability. This article explores the issue of multipl...
