This paper presents analyses of peer-reviewed papers and posters published in the past nine years of ISMIR proceedings: examining publication and authorship practices, topics and titles of research, as well as the citation patterns among the ISMIR proceedings. The main objective is to provide an overview of the progress made over the past nine years in the ISMIR community and to obtain some ins...

Scholarly publications are made available online by individual researchers on their home pages. The list of publications reflects the research work carried by individuals collaborating with one or more other researchers. Automatic extraction of author’s name from the list of publications is required to construct a co-authorship network for identification of prominent authors. This will aid the ...

Misunderstanding and disputes about authorship are commonplace among members of multi/interdisciplinary health research teams. If left unmanaged and unresolved, these conflicts can undermine knowledge sharing and collaboration, obscure accountability for research, and contribute to the incorrect attribution of credit. To mitigate these issues, certain researchers suggest quantitative authorship...

We conducted a document analysis that explored publication ethics and authorship in the context of population biobanks from both a theoretical (e.g. normative documents) and practical (e.g. biobank-specific documentation) perspective. The aim was to provide an overview of the state of authorship attribution in population biobanks and attempt to fill the gap in discussions around the issue. Our ...

In order to capture the effects of social ties in knowledge diffusion, this paper examines the publication network that emerges from the collaboration of researchers, using citation information as means to estimate knowledge flow. For this purpose, we analyzed the papers published in the PLOS ONE journal finding strong evidence to support that the closer two authors are in the co-authorship net...

The term ‘Overseas Chinese Phenomenon’ is used here to refer to the fact that scientists of Chinese descent play an important role in international collaboration between mainland China and the rest of the world. In this paper, we review international collaboration between ethnic Chinese scientists in eight countries – USA, England, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, Australia, and South Korea – an...

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 ...
