Although there is evidence that counting the readers of an article in social reference site, M endeley, may help to capture its research impact, extent which this true for different scientific fields unknown. In study, we compare endeley readership counts with citations sciences and humanities disciplines. The overall correlation between was higher than humanities. Low medium correlations bookmarks citation all investigated disciplines suggest these measures reflect aspects impact. data were...
Little detailed information is known about who reads research articles and the contexts in which are read. Using data people register M endeley as readers of articles, this article explores different types users C linical edicine, E ngineering T echnology, S ocial cience, P hysics, hemistry inside outside academia. The majority for all disciplines were PhD students, postgraduates, postdocs but other academics also represented. In addition, many edicine read by medical professionals. highest...
Although counts of tweets citing academic papers are used as an informal indicator interest, little is known about who and uses Twitter to find scholarly information. Without knowing this, it difficult draw useful conclusions from a publication being frequently tweeted. This study surveyed 1,912 users that have tweeted journal articles ask their scholarly-related uses. Almost half the respondents (45%) did not work in academia, despite sample probably biased towards academics. was most by...
Although M endeley bookmarking counts appear to correlate moderately with conventional citation metrics, it is not known whether academic publications are bookmarked in order be read or not. Without this information, possible give a confident interpretation of altmetrics derived from Mendeley. In response, survey 860 users shows that reasonable use as an indication readership because most (55%) library had intended at least half their publications. This was true across all broad areas...
Assigning authorship and recognizing contributions to scholarly works is challenging on many levels. Here we discuss ethical, social, technical challenges the concept of that may impede recognition a work. Recent work in field shows shifting more inclusive contributorship approach address these challenges. efforts enable better scholarship include development Contributor Role Ontology (CRO), which extends CRediT taxonomy can be used information systems for structuring contributions. We also...
Little is known about the role of World Health Organization (WHO) in communicating with public on social media during a global health emergency. More specifically, there no study relationship between agendas WHO and Twitter users COVID-19 pandemic.
Social media is simultaneously home to communities of users who promote eating disorders as a lifestyle and advocate for recovery. As studies have confirmed an association between exposure pro-eating disorder content engaging in disordered behaviors, examination the accuracy interactions with information shared these complex contradictory can provide insights into available at risk.To determine associations among themes, information, user engagement on short video-sharing social...
Using big data has been a prevailing research trend in various academic fields. However, no studies have explored the scope and structure of across disciplines. In this article, we applied topic modeling word co-occurrence analysis methods to identify key topics from more than 36,000 publications all disciplines between 2012 2017. The results revealed several associated with storage, collection large datasets; were predominantly published computational Other identified show influence...
Background Although past research has focused on COVID-19–related frames in the news media, such may not accurately capture and represent perspectives of people from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, public attention to COVID-19 as reflected through social media is scarce. Objective This study identified about pandemic discourse Twitter, which voices opinions. also investigated amount those Twitter. Methods We collected 22 trending hashtags related United States 694,582 tweets written...
Background and Aims The economic value of wine has increased over the years due to emergence new producers markets. In line with this, global distribution research outputs in viticulture oenology also shifted since this informs production consumption. This study investigates trends grape publications indexed Web Science (2002–2017). Methods Results Using bibliometric techniques, citation impact, specialisation collaboration network were analysed. China had largest annual growth wine-related...
Encyclopedias are sometimes cited by scholarly publications, despite concerns about their credibility as sources for academic information. This study investigates trends from 2002 to 2020 in citing two crowdsourced and expert-based encyclopedias investigate whether they fit differently into the research landscape: Wikipedia, Britannica, Baidu Baike, Scholarpedia. is first systematic comparison of uptake four major within research. Scopus searches were used count number documents each year....
The facilitative effects of pre- and early postnatal choline chloride dietary supplementation on adult rat spatial nonspatial learning memory were examined using a delayed match-to-place transverse-patterning discrimination task. Animals exposed to the both prenatally (through diet pregnant rats) postnatally (subcutaneous injection) for 24 days. In first experiment, 90-day-old rats given pairs trials in which they found hidden platform Morris water maze particular location (acquisition...
ABSTRACT This exploratory study examines the strategies of social bots on Twitter that were retweeted following a mass shooting event. Using case method to frame our work, we collected over seven million tweets during one‐month period in Parkland, Florida. From this dataset, selected retweets content generated by 400 bot accounts determine what these using and effectiveness as indicated number retweets. We employed qualitative quantitative methods capture both macro‐ micro‐level...
Over a million journal articles had been shared on public Facebook pages by 2017, but little is known about who sharing (posting links to) these papers and whether mention counts could be an impact indicator. This study classified users posted 749 before October 2017 mentioning 500 medical health‐related research articles, obtained using altmetric.com data. Most accounts (68%) belonged to groups, including online communities, journals, academic organizations, societies. Of individual...
Some states in the U.S. have traditionally received less federal research funding than other states. The National Science Foundation (NSF) created a program 1979, called Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) enhance competitiveness such While geographic disparity is well known, overall impact of on performance EPSCoR and non-EPSCoR has not been previously studied. In current study, we compared combined productivity Ph.D. granting institutions versus better...
This paper presents the metaheuristic design and optimization of fuzzy-based gas turbine engine (GTE) fuel flow controller by means a hybrid invasive weed optimization/particle swarm (IWO/PSO) algorithm as an innovative guided search technique. In this regard, first, Wiener model for GTE block-structured is developed validated against experimental data. Subsequently, because nonlinear nature GTE, fuzzy logic (FLC) strategy considered system. For purpose, initial FLC designed parameters are...
Background The word “infodemic” refers to the deluge of false information about an event, and it is a global challenge for today’s society. sheer volume misinformation circulating during COVID-19 pandemic has been harmful people around world. Therefore, important study different aspects related pandemic.

Background: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the marketing of IQOS tobacco heating system as a modified risk product (MRTP) in July 2020, permitting its 'reduced exposure' marketing. This decision is accompanied by much controversy among global health community. We provide preliminary analysis Twitter conversations regarding MRTP authorization identifying authors, valence towards policy decision, source cited link, focused topic. Methods: analyzed 548 tweets mentioning...
The field of software testing is growing and rapidly-evolving. Based on keywords assigned to publications, we seek identify predominant research topics understand how they are connected have evolved. We apply co-word analysis map the topology as a network where author-assigned by edges indicating co-occurrence in publications. Keywords clustered based edge density frequency connection. examine most popular keywords, summarize clusters into high-level connect, changing. Testing can be divided...
