Citation study is now considered as one of the au then tic tools for selection of scientific periodicals. However, ranking journals by traditional method of citation counting is not free from limitations. The paper shows ways and means to eliminate these pitfalls by application of three new bibliometric parameters introduced by Sengupta earlier. It is stressed that these new parameters are capa...

Structural queries specify complex predicates on the content and the structure of the elements of tree-structured XML documents. Recent works have typically applied top-down decomposition of the twig patterns into (i) parent-child or ancestordescendant relationships, or (ii) path expression queries, and then followed by a join operation to reconstruct matched twig patterns. This demonstration s...

In this paper, we use an alternative measure of scholarly quality, namely TOP-curves in order to rank journals in the field of environmental and resource economics. This measure summarizes the journals’ highly cited articles’ incidence, intensity and inequality. Moreover, TOP-curves allow analysts to rank journals according to TOPdominance. If such a ranking is impossible, the area below the cu...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to appraisal the effect of highly cited papers in the field of public health and find out whether the unusual citations affect the ranking order of the journals in this field or not. A total number of 142 journals titles were listed in Journal Citation Report (ISI Thomson) in the field of "Public, Environmental & Occupational Health". All but one of them had...

Some research institutions demand researchers to distribute the incomes they earn from publishing papers to their researchers and/or co-authors. In this study, we deal with the Impact Factor-based ranking journal as a criteria for the correct distribution of these incomes. We also include the Authorship Credit factor for distribution of the incomes among authors, using the geometric progression...

With the explosive growth of the amount of information stored on computer networks such as the Internet, it is increasingly more difficult for information seekers to retrieve relevant information. Traditional document ranking functions employed by Internet search engines can be enhanced to improve the effectiveness of information retrieval (IR). This paper illustrates the design and development...

Authors’ ranking can be used to determine authenticity of authors in particular domain. Several different methods for author ranking focusing on number of publications and number of citations are proposed. In this paper, we propose ranking algorithms for publications, conferences, journals and respective authors. In publication ranking, both incoming and outgoing citations are considered. In ca...
