The value of large-scale collaborations for solving complex problems is widely recognized, but many barriers hinder meaningful authorship all on the resulting multi-author publications. Because professional benefits arise from authorship, much literature this topic has focused cheating, conflict and effort documentation. However, approaches specifically recognizing creatively overcoming to have...

This paper seeks to build upon the previous literature on gender aspects in research collaboration and knowledge diffusion. Our approach adds the meme inheritance notion to traditional citation analysis, as we investigate if scientific memes are inherited differently from gendered authorship. Since authors of scientific papers inherit knowledge from their cited authors, once authorship is gende...

S ince the earliest peer-reviewed publications of the late 17th century, conventions about the authorship of scientifi c papers—which were generally anonymous and attributed to the sponsor (in those days, usually the church or the king)—have evolved considerably [1]. Readers now want to know not only who paid for the research but also who did the work. Transparency (i.e., full disclosure) is no...

In the current study we have undertaken scientometric analysis to map research publications from 19 different animal science institutions under Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), for a period two decades (1998 2020), using Web Science (WoS) platform Clarivate Analytics. We analyzed parameters like year-wise citation records, institute-wise publication output, authorship pattern, ty...

Authorship of bioscientific papers is a serious business. Most journals have policies that encourage transparency, making it clear who did what, but some authors take it less seriously than editors might like, and indexers don’t always get it right. Searching for common abbreviations (⇓) in PubMed (1809–2017), Embase (1974–2017), Ovid Medline (1946–2017), Philosopher’s Index (1966–2016), and Ps...

More than forty years after its initial publication, Frederick Mosteller and David Wallace's Inference and Disputed Authorship: The Federalist is an excellent introduction to the application of exact techniques to various problems in the analysis of text; in some respects it is still unequaled. Given the way the computer has revolutionized exact textual analysis in the last thirty years, and in...

We present an efficient and effective automatic method for determining the research focus of scientific communities found in co-authorship networks. It utilizes bibliographic data from a database to form the network, followed by fastgreedy community detection to identify communities within large connected components of the network. Text analysis techniques are used to identify community-specifi...

Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ) is a young journal that covers the intersection of digital media and traditional humanities. In this paper, we explore the publication patterns in DHQ through visualizations of co-authorship and bibliographic coupling networks in order to understand the cultures the journal represents. We find that DHQ consists largely of sole-authored papers (66%) and the aut...

Networks that represent connections between individuals can be valuable analytic tools. The Social Network Cytoscape app is capable of creating a visual summary of connected individuals automatically. It does this by representing relationships as networks where each node denotes an individual and an edge linking two individuals represents a connection. The app focuses on creating visual summari...
