Abstract For scientists, one of the most important points to consider is right journals for research, current awareness, and publication results. However, if scientists suffer from imperfect attention, they would pay attention only a subset in subject category. Under this scenario, chief editors might affect preferences by using journal’s salience influence what to. In paper, we are going address two related research questions: First, do competitive forces tend correct choice errors journal...

Abstract Here, we show a longitudinal analysis of the ranking subject areas Elsevier's Scopus. To this aim, present three summary measures based on journal scores for academic journals in each area. This study allows us to analyze developmental trends over times different with distinct citation and publication patterns. We evaluate relative performance area by using overall prestige most important score above given threshold (e.g., first quartile) as well gap less below top 10 journals)....

It is of great benefit to have advance knowledge human visual target acquisition performance for targets or other relevant objects. However, search inherently shows a large variance and depends strongly on prior the perceived scene. A typical experiment therefore requires number observers obtain statistically reliable data. Moreover, measuring in field situations usually impractical often very costly even dangerous. The paper presents method characterizing information relative its...

Here, we develop a theory of the relationship between reviewer's effort and bias in peer review. From this theory, it follows that journal editors might employ biased reviewers because they shirk less. This creates an incentive for editor to use monitoring mechanisms (e.g., associate supervising review process) mitigate resulting reviewers' recommendations. The supervision could encourage more extreme reviewers. helps explain presence To shirking by reviewer, may assign referees generate...

Abstract Given how hard it is to recruit good reviewers who are aligned with authors in their functions, journal editors could consider the use of better incentives, such as paying for time. In order facilitate a speedy turn-around when rapid decision required, peer-reviewed can also offer review model which selected peer compensated deliver high-quality and timely peer-review reports. this paper, we manuscript’s evaluation consists necessary component an optional component. We study that...

This paper describes a system for the automatically learned partitioning of visual patterns in 2D images, based on sophisticated band-pass filtering with fixed scale and orientation sensitivity. The are defined as features which have highest degree alignment statistical structure across different frequency bands. analysis reorganizes image according to an invariance constraint consists three stages: pre-attentive stage, integration learning stage. first stage takes input performs log-Gabor...

We introduce a novel methodology for mapping academic institutions based on their journal publication profiles. believe that journals in which researchers from publish works can be considered as useful identifiers representing the relationships between these and establishing comparisons. However, when are used research output representation, distinctions must introduced them, value institution descriptors. This leads us to use of weights attached identifiers. Since large proportion published...

In economics, the principal‐agent problem is difficulty in motivating one party (the agent), to act best interests of another principal) rather than his own interests. We consider example a journal editor wondering whether or her reviewer agent) recommending rejection manuscript because it does not have enough quality be published dislikes effort and he/she must work acquire in‐depth knowledge content manuscript. The reviewer's provides him with superior information about manuscript's...

Este trabajo presenta un análisis descriptivo de las universidades españolas acuerdo a su perfil publicación en revistas científicas cinco áreas conocimiento para el periodo 2007-2011. Dos tienen similar cuando publican alto número comunes. Siguiendo este principio es posible crear mapas que ofrezcan una visión enriquecedora del sistema universitario español. Para ello, analizamos Ciencias Sociales, Exactas, Ingeniería y Tecnología, la Vida Salud. Además, utilizamos indicador centralidad...

: We consider a research model for manuscript evaluation using two-stage process. In the first stage, current submission reminds reviewers of previous reviewing experiences, and then, aggregate these past review experiences into kind norm assessing scientific contribution clarity writing required manuscript. second reviewer's norms are imposed on under review, attention is drawn to discrepancies between retrieved from similar peer reality this submission.

Adverse selection occurs when a firm signs contract with potential worker but his/her key skills are still not known at that time, which leads the employer to make wrong decision. In this article, we study example of adverse reviewers referee whose ability is his private information faces finite sequence review processes for several scholarly journals, one after other. Our editor's problem design system guarantees each manuscript reviewed by if and only reviewer's matches review's...

In an embedded wavelet scheme for progressive transmission, a tree structure naturally defines the spatial relationship on hierarchical pyramid. Transform coefficients over each correspond to unique local region of original image, and they can be coded bit-plane by through successive-approximation quantization. After receiving approximate value some coefficients, decoder obtain reconstructed image. We show rational system transmission that, in absence priori knowledge about regions interest,...

Abstract Authors, editors, and reviewers need to have a good perception regarding the quality of manuscript in order improve their skills, save effort, prevent errors that can affect submission procedure. In this paper, we compared author’s manuscript’s with actual impact. addition, analyzed uncertainty quality. From there, defined ‘partition’ as ability perceive We did by launching website for use scientific community. This webpage provided tool help an investigator’s skill understanding...
