background: authorship of peer-reviewed publications can create conflict among academics. objective: to document authorship conflicts of academics at a tertiary faculty. methods: an anonymous questionnaire eliciting authorship conflicts and knowledge of authorship criteria was administered online to 154 academic staff members at a new zealand university. results: 43 academics responded, a respo...

Purpose – To visualize the inter-university and international collaboration networks generated by Spanish universities based on the co-authorship of scientific articles. Design/methodology/approach Formulation based on a bibliometric analysis of Spanish university production from 2000 to 2004 as contained in Web of Science databases, applying social network visualization techniques. The co-auth...

The Author Identification task for PAN 2012 consisted of three different sub-tasks: traditional authorship attribution, authorship clustering and sexual predator identification. We developed three machine learning approaches for these tasks. For the two authorship related tasks we created various sets of feature spaces, where individual differences in writing styles are assumed to surface in ju...

BACKGROUND The analysis of co-authorship network aims at exploring the impact of network structure on the outcome of scientific collaborations and research publications. However, little is known about what network properties are associated with authors who have increased number of joint publications and are being cited highly. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Measures of social network analysis...

Much of the writing styles recognized in rhetorical and composition theories involve deep syntactic elements. However, most previous research for computational stylometric analysis has relied on shallow lexico-syntactic patterns. Some very recent work has shown that PCFG models can detect distributional difference in syntactic styles, but without offering much insights into exactly what constit...

Collaboration among scholars and institutions is progressively becoming essential to the success of research grant procurement and to allow the emergence and evolution of scientific disciplines. Our work focuses on analysing if the volume of collaborations of one author together with the relevance of his collaborators is somewhat related to his research performance over time. In order to prove ...

the objective of this study was to assess the knowledge and views of faculty members on criteria for authorship by international committee of medical journal editors (icmje), their current practice of choosing the authors, views on gift authorship and problems they had faced concerning authorship.it was a cross sectional survey from january 2011 to july 2011 among faculty members of various pri...

The study of authorship identification in Japanese has for the most part been restricted to literary texts using basic statistical methods. In the present study, authors of mailing list messages are identified using a machine learning technique (Support Vector Machines). In addition, the classifier trained on the mailing list data is applied to identify the author of Web documents in order to i...

Founded in Athens during 2002, ICMB developed to the major international research conference on mobile business with a significant number of researchers and authors contributing state of the art scientific papers in academia. In this paper we examine the state of the ICMB co-authorship network from 2002 to 2013 by applying Social Network Analysis techniques and measures. Our analysis is based o...
