Peer review in scientific communications plays an important role in the advancement of any given field of study. However, different sorts of conflict of interest (COI) situations between authors and reviewers can compromise the review decision. Current COI detection systems primarily rely on co-authors networks, inferred from publicly available bibliographic databases as an implicit measure of ...

These notes provide a guide and some comments on a portion of the literature of experimental economics. They represent thoughts and criticisms. developed in the course of a seminar in experimental economics at Purdue University. The references do not constitute an e�ensive bibliography. For an excellent summary of the experimental oligopoly literature� the interested reader is urged to consult ...

Recent years have seen the development of novel techniques for linking complex types of data that contain records about different types of entities, for example bibliographic databases with records about authors, publications, and venues. Advanced approaches have been devised to link individuals and groups of records. These approaches exploit both the similarities between record attributes as w...

OBJECTIVES This study updated Reed's 1999 "Mapping the Literature of Occupational Therapy." An analysis of citation patterns and indexing coverage was undertaken to identify the core literature of occupational therapy and to determine access to that literature. METHODS Citations from three source journals for the years 2006 through 2008 were studied following the common methodology of the "Ma...

Many experiments and studies have been conducted on the application of FRBR as an implementation model for bibliographic databases, in order to improve the services of resource discovery and transmit better perception of the information spaces represented in catalogues. One of these applications is the attempt to identify the FRBR work instances shared by several bibliographic records. In our w...

Personal Bibliographic Systems (PBS) manage the input, storage, retrieval, and output of bibliographic references. The software allows for references to a number of different document types such as journal articles, books, book chapters, dissertations, reports, unpublished papers, electronic documents, etc. Unlike general-purpose database management packages, PBS are made for bibliographic info...

We investigate the automatic assignment of research methods to journal articles from the domain of Social Sciences. We employ Computer Science and Computational Linguistics methodology to perform this automatic assignment of metadata. The multi-label classification system we present uses only abstracts and titles of journal articles as input. Our best system is able to assign the important rese...

Representing a significant shift from methods that employ bibliographic metadata for music retrieval, modern Music Information Retrieval (MIR) research seeks to utilize characteristics of music to search databases of musical content via musically expressed queries. These investigations hold significant promise for the future development of commercial and research applications such as searchable...

original article   thermal stress is a well-recognized health hazard in the workplace. in addition to the health deficits, working in the heat can affect significantly on the productivity of some industries located in rough environments. the current indices used to evaluate the environment are either flawed or difficult to implement. the focus of this review is upon heat stress indices used in ...

Collecting all the papers in a research field is a first step towards an exhaustive survey. A number of research paper databases are available for searching papers. However, searchers are compelled to repeat the same search operation for each database if there are multiple databases for a research field. To improve such inefficient searching, we have developed PRESRI, which can construct an exh...
