Purpose The collaboration relationships between innovation actors at a geographic level may be considered as grouping two separate layers, the domestic and the foreign. At the level of each layer, the relationships and the actors involved constitute a Triple Helix game. The paper distinguished three levels of analysis: the global grouping together all actors, the domestic grouping together domestic actors, and the foreign related to only actors from partner countries. Design/methodology/approach Bibliographic records data from the Web of Science for South Korea and West Africa breakdown per innovation actors and distinguishing domestic and international collaboration are analyzed with game theory. The core, the Shapley value, and the nucleolus are computed at the three levels to measure the synergy between actors. Findings The synergy operates more in South Korea than in West Africa; the government is more present in West Africa than in South Korea; domestic actors create more synergy in South Korea, but foreign more in West Africa; South Korea can consume all the foreign synergy, which is not the case of West Africa. Research limitations Research data are limited to publication records; techniques and methods used may be extended to other research outputs. Practical implications West African governments should increase their investment in science, technology, and innovation to benefit more from the synergy their innovation actors contributed at the foreign level. However, the results of the current study may not be sufficient to prove that greater investment will yield benefits from foreign synergies. Originality/value This paper uses game theory to assess innovation systems by computing the contribution of foreign actors to knowledge production at an area level. It proposes an indicator to this end.
目的 创新行为者之间在地理层面上的合作关系可被视为国内和国外两个不同层面的组合。在每一层中，所涉及的关系和参与者构成了三重螺旋博弈。本文区分了三个层面的分析：全球层面包括所有参与者，国内层面包括国内参与者，国外层面仅涉及来自伙伴国的参与者。设计/方法/途径 本文利用博弈论分析了科学网（Web of Science）上关于韩国和西非的书目记录数据，按创新参与者进行了细分，并区分了国内和国际合作。在三个层面上计算核心、沙普利值和内核，以衡量参与者之间的协同作用。研究结果 韩国的协同作用大于西非；西非的政府作用大于韩国；韩国的国内行为体创造了更多协同作用，而西非的国外行为体创造了更多协同作用；韩国可以消耗掉所有的国外协同作用，而西非则不然。研究局限性 研究数据仅限于出版记录；所使用的技术和方法可扩展到其他研究成果。实际意义 西非各国政府应增加对科技创新的投资，以便从其创新参与者在国外贡献的协同作用中获得更多利益。然而，当前研究的结果可能不足以证明加大投资就能从国外协同效应中获益。原创性/价值 本文利用博弈论，通过计算外国参与者对地区层面知识生产的贡献来评估创新体系。为此，本文提出了一个指标。

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop and compare model choice strategies in context of logistic regression. Model choice means the choice of the covariates to be included in the model. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on Monte Carlo simulations. The methods are compared in terms of three measures of accuracy: specificity and two kinds of sensitivity. A loss function combining sensitivity and specificity is introduced and used for a final comparison. Findings The choice of method depends on how much the users emphasize sensitivity against specificity. It also depends on the sample size. For a typical logistic regression setting with a moderate sample size and a small to moderate effect size, either BIC, BICc or Lasso seems to be optimal. Research limitations Numerical simulations cannot cover the whole range of data-generating processes occurring with real-world data. Thus, more simulations are needed. Practical implications Researchers can refer to these results if they believe that their data-generating process is somewhat similar to some of the scenarios presented in this paper. Alternatively, they could run their own simulations and calculate the loss function. Originality/value This is a systematic comparison of model choice algorithms and heuristics in context of logistic regression. The distinction between two types of sensitivity and a comparison based on a loss function are methodological novelties.

Purpose This study aims to explore the geography of editors-in-chief to demonstrate which countries exercise the highest-level decision-making in scholarly communication. In addition, the study seeks to investigate the potential relationships between the origin and nationality of academic publishers and the geography of editors-in-chief. Design/methodology/approach The analysis involves 11,915 journals listed in Web of Science’s Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). These journals employ 15,795 scholars as editors-in-chief. The geographical locations of the institutions the editors-in-chief are affiliated with were identified; then, the data were aggregated at the country level. Findings The results show that most editors-in-chief are located in countries of the Anglosphere, primarily the United States and the United Kingdom. In addition, most academic publishers and professional organizations that publish academic journals were found to be based in the United States and the United Kingdom, where most editors-in-chief are also based. Research limitations The analysis involves journals indexed in the Web of Science’s SCIE/SSCI databases, which are demonstrably biased toward the English language. Furthermore, the study only takes a snapshot of the geography of editors-in-chief for the year 2022, but it does not investigate trends. Research implications The study maps the highest-level decision-making in scholarly communication. Originality/value The study explores and maps the geography of editors-in-chief by using a massive dataset.
目的 本研究旨在探索主编的地域分布，以说明哪些国家在学术交流中行使最高决策权。此外，本研究还试图探讨学术出版商的来源和国籍与主编地域之间的潜在关系。设计/方法/途径 分析涉及《科学引文索引》（Web of Science's Social Sciences Citation Index, SSCI）和《科学引文索引》（Science Citation Index Expanded, SCIE）中收录的 11,915 种期刊。这些期刊聘请了 15,795 位学者担任主编。确定了主编所属机构的地理位置，然后将数据汇总到国家层面。结果 结果显示，大多数主编位于盎格鲁圈国家，主要是美国和英国。此外，大多数学术出版商和出版学术期刊的专业组织都设在美国和英国，而大多数主编也在美国和英国。研究局限性 本分析涉及科学网 SCIE/SSCI 数据库收录的期刊，而这些数据库明显偏重英语。此外，本研究只对 2022 年主编的地理位置进行了概括，但没有调查趋势。研究意义 该研究绘制了学术交流领域最高决策层的地图。原创性/价值 该研究通过使用大量数据集来探索和绘制主编的地理分布。

Purpose Exploring a dimensionality reduction model that can adeptly eliminate outliers and select the appropriate number of clusters is of profound theoretical and practical importance. Additionally, the interpretability of these models presents a persistent challenge. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes two innovative dimensionality reduction models based on integer programming (DRMBIP). These models assess compactness through the correlation of each indicator with its class center, while separation is evaluated by the correlation between different class centers. In contrast to DRMBIP-p, the DRMBIP-v considers the threshold parameter as a variable aiming to optimally balances both compactness and separation. Findings This study, getting data from the Global Health Observatory (GHO), investigates 141 indicators that influence life expectancy. The findings reveal that DRMBIP-p effectively reduces the dimensionality of data, ensuring compactness. It also maintains compatibility with other models. Additionally, DRMBIP-v finds the optimal result, showing exceptional separation. Visualization of the results reveals that all classes have a high compactness. Research limitations The DRMBIP-p requires the input of the correlation threshold parameter, which plays a pivotal role in the effectiveness of the final dimensionality reduction results. In the DRMBIP-v, modifying the threshold parameter to variable potentially emphasizes either separation or compactness. This necessitates an artificial adjustment to the overflow component within the objective function. Practical implications The DRMBIP presented in this paper is adept at uncovering the primary geometric structures within high-dimensional indicators. Validated by life expectancy data, this paper demonstrates potential to assist data miners with the reduction of data dimensions. Originality/value To our knowledge, this is the first time that integer programming has been used to build a dimensionality reduction model with indicator filtering. It not only has applications in life expectancy, but also has obvious advantages in data mining work that requires precise class centers.

Abstract Purpose To reveal the typical features of text duplication in papers from four medical fields: basic medicine, health management, pharmacology and pharmacy, and public health and preventive medicine. To analyze the reasons for duplication and provide suggestions for the management of medical academic misconduct. Design/methodology/approach In total, 2,469 representative Chinese journal papers were included in our research, which were submitted by researchers in 2020 and 2021. A plagiarism check was carried out using the Academic Misconduct Literature Check System (AMLC). We generated a corrected similarity index based on the AMLC general similarity index for further analysis. We compared the similarity indices of papers in four medical fields and revealed their trends over time; differences in similarity index between review and research articles were also analyzed according to the different fields. Further analysis of 143 papers suspected of plagiarism was also performed from the perspective of sections containing duplication and according to the field of research. Findings Papers in the field of pharmacology and pharmacy had the highest similarity index (8.67 ± 5.92%), which was significantly higher than that in other fields, except health management. The similarity index of review articles (9.77 ± 10.28%) was significantly higher than that of research articles (7.41 ± 6.26%). In total, 143 papers were suspected of plagiarism (5.80%) with similarity indices ≥ 15%; most were papers on health management (78, 54.55%), followed by public health and preventive medicine (38, 26.58%); 90.21% of the 143 papers had duplication in multiple sections, while only 9.79% had duplication in a single section. The distribution of sections with duplication varied among different fields; papers in pharmacology and pharmacy were more likely to have duplication in the data/methods and introduction/background sections, however, papers in health management were more likely to contain duplication in the introduction/background or results/discussion sections. Different structures for papers in different fields may have caused these differences. Research limitations There were three limitations to our research. Firstly, we observed that a small number of papers have been checked early. It is unknown who conducted the plagiarism check as this can be included in other evaluations, such as applications for Science and technology projects or awards. If the authors carried out the check, text with high similarity indices may have been excluded before submission, meaning the similarity index in our research may have been lower than the original value. Secondly, there were only four medical fields included in our research. Additional analysis on a wider scale is required in the future.

Abstract Purpose The number of retracted papers from Chinese university-affiliated hospitals is increasing, which has raised much concern. The aim of this study is to analyze the retracted papers from university-affiliated hospitals in mainland China from 2000 to 2021. Design/methodology/approach Data for 1,031 retracted papers were identified from the Web of Science Core collection database. The information of the hospitals involved was obtained from their official websites. We analyzed the chronological changes, journal distribution, discipline distribution and retraction reasons for the retracted papers. The grade and geographic locations of the hospitals involved were explored as well. Findings We found a rapid increase in the number of retracted papers, while the retraction time interval is decreasing. The main reasons for retraction are plagiarism/self-plagiarism (n=255), invalid data/images/conclusions (n=212), fake peer review (n=175) and honesty error(n=163). The disciplines are mainly distributed in oncology (n=320), pharmacology & pharmacy (n=198) and research & experimental medicine (n=166). About 43.8% of the retracted papers were from hospitals affiliated with prestigious universities. Research limitations This study fails to differentiate between retractions due to honest error and retractions due to research misconduct. We believe that there is a fundamental difference between honest error retractions and misconduct retractions. Another limitation is that authors of the retracted papers have not been analyzed in this study. Practical implications This study provides a reference for addressing research misconduct in Chinese university-affiliated hospitals. It is our recommendation that universities and hospitals should educate all their staff about the basic norms of research integrity, punish authors of scientific misconduct retracted papers, and reform the unreasonable evaluation system. Originality/value Based on the analysis of retracted papers, this study further analyzes the characteristics of institutions of retracted papers, which may deepen the research on retracted papers and provide a new perspective to understand the retraction phenomenon.
摘要目的我国大学附属医院论文撤稿数量不断增加，引起了广泛关注。本研究的目的是分析2000年至2021年中国大陆大学附属医院的撤稿论文。设计/方法/方法1031篇撤稿论文的数据来自Web of Science Core collection数据库。有关医院的信息是从其官方网站上获得的。我们分析了撤稿论文的时间变化、期刊分布、学科分布和撤稿原因。并对所涉医院的等级和地理位置进行了探讨。我们发现论文被撤稿的数量在快速增加，而撤稿时间间隔在缩短。撤稿原因主要有抄袭/自我抄袭(n=255)、无效数据/图片/结论(n=212)、虚假同行评议(n=175)和诚信错误(n=163)。学科主要分布在肿瘤学(n=320)、药理学(n=320);药学(n=198)和研究&实验医学(n=166)。约43.8%的撤稿论文来自名牌大学附属医院。本研究未能区分因诚实错误而撤稿和因研究不当而撤稿。我们认为，诚实的错误撤稿和不当撤稿是有本质区别的。另一个限制是，撤回论文的作者没有在本研究中进行分析。本研究为我国大学附属医院的科研不端行为治理提供参考。我们建议，高校和医院应该对所有员工进行研究诚信基本规范的教育，对科学不端论文的作者进行处罚，改革不合理的评价制度。本研究在对撤稿论文进行分析的基础上，进一步分析撤稿论文的机构特征，可以深化对撤稿论文的研究，为理解撤稿现象提供一个新的视角。

Abstract Purpose The aim of this article is to explore up to seven parameters related to the methodological quality and reproducibility of thematic bibliometric research published in the two most productive journals in bibliometrics, Sustainability (a journal outside the discipline) and Scientometrics, the flagship journal in the field. Design/methodology/approach The study identifies the need for developing tailored tools for improving the quality of thematic bibliometric analyses, and presents a framework that can guide the development of such tools. A total of 508 papers are analysed, 77% of Sustainability, and 23% published in Scientometrics, for the 2019-2021 period. Findings An average of 2.6 shortcomings per paper was found for the whole sample, with an almost identical number of flaws in both journals. Sustainability has more flaws than Scientometrics in four of the seven parameters studied, while Scientometrics has more shortcomings in the remaining three variables. Research limitations The first limitation of this work is that it is a study of two scientific journals, so the results cannot be directly extrapolated to the set of thematic bibliometric analyses published in journals from all fields. Practical implications We propose the adoption of protocols, guidelines, and other similar tools, adapted to bibliometric practice, which could increase the thoroughness, transparency, and reproducibility of this type of research. Originality/value These results show considerable room for improvement in terms of the adequate use and breakdown of methodological procedures in thematic bibliometric research, both in journals in the Information Science area and journals outside the discipline.

Practical implications We propose the adoption of protocols, guidelines, and other similar tools, adapted to bibliometric practice, which could increase the thoroughness, transparency, and reproducibility of this type of research. Originality/value These results show considerable room for improvement in terms of the adequate use and breakdown of methodological procedures in thematic bibliometric research, both in journals in the Information Science area and journals outside the discipline.","PeriodicalId":44622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Data and Information Science","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136059277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Purpose To supplement the quantitative portrait of Ukrainian Economics discipline with the results of gender and author ordering analysis at the level of individual authors, special methods of working with bibliographic data with a predominant share of non-English authors are used. The properties of gender mixing, the likelihood of male and female authors occupying the first position in the authorship list, as well as the arrangements of names are studied. Design/methodology/approach A data set containing bibliographic records related to Ukrainian journal publications in the field of Economics is constructed using Crossref metadata. Partial semi-automatic disambiguation of authors’ names is performed. First names, along with gender-specific ethnic surnames, are used for gender disambiguation required for further comparative gender analysis. Random reshuffling of data is used to determine the impact of gender correlations. To assess the level of alphabetization for our data set, both Latin and Cyrillic versions of names are taken into account. Findings The lack of well-structured metadata and the poor use of digital identifiers lead to numerous problems with automatization of bibliographic data pre-processing, especially in the case of publications by non-Western authors. The described stages for working with such specific data help to work at the level of authors and analyse, in particular, gender issues. Despite the larger number of female authors, gender equality is more likely to be reported at the individual level for the discipline of Ukrainian Economics. The tendencies towards collaborative or solo-publications and gender mixing patterns are found to be dependent on the journal: the differences for publications indexed in Scopus and/or Web of Science databases are found. It has also been found that Ukrainian Economics research is characterized by rather a non-alphabetical order of authors. Research limitations Only partial authors’ name disambiguation is performed in a semi-automatic way. Gender labels can be derived only for authors declared by full First names or gender-specific Last names. Practical implications The typical features of Ukrainian Economic discipline can be used to perform a comparison with other countries and disciplines, to develop an informed-based assessment procedure at the national level. The proposed way of processing publication data can be borrowed to enrich metadata about other research disciplines, especially for non-English speaking countries. Originality/value To our knowledge, this is the first large-scale quantitative study of Ukrainian Economic discipline. The results obtained are valuable not only at the national level, but also contribute to general knowledge about Economic research, gender issues, and authors’ names ordering.

摘要目的:为了补充乌克兰经济学学科的定量肖像与性别和作者排序分析的结果，在个别作者的水平，与非英语作者占主导地位的书目数据工作的特殊方法被使用。研究了性别混合的性质、男性和女性作者在作者名单中占据第一位置的可能性以及名字的排列。设计/方法/方法使用Crossref元数据构建了一个包含与乌克兰经济学领域期刊出版物相关的书目记录的数据集。对作者姓名进行部分半自动消歧。在进一步的性别比较分析中，使用名字和特定性别的民族姓氏来消除性别歧义。随机重新洗牌的数据被用来确定性别相关性的影响。为了评估我们的数据集的字母化程度，我们同时考虑了拉丁和西里尔字母版本的名字。缺乏结构良好的元数据和数字标识符的不良使用导致书目数据预处理自动化的许多问题，特别是在非西方作者的出版物中。所述处理这些具体数据的阶段有助于在作者一级开展工作，特别是分析性别问题。尽管女性作者人数较多，但乌克兰经济学学科在个人层面上更有可能报告性别平等。研究发现，合作或单独发表的趋势以及性别混合模式取决于期刊:在Scopus和/或Web of Science数据库中索引的出版物之间存在差异。人们还发现，乌克兰经济学研究的特点是作者的顺序不是按字母顺序排列的。研究局限:仅采用半自动方式对部分作者姓名进行消歧。性别标签只能为由全名或特定性别的姓氏声明的作者派生。乌克兰经济学科的典型特征可用于与其他国家和学科进行比较，以在国家一级制定基于信息的评估程序。所提出的处理出版数据的方法可以用来丰富其他研究学科的元数据，特别是对于非英语国家。据我们所知，这是对乌克兰经济学科的第一次大规模定量研究。所获得的结果不仅在国家层面上有价值，而且有助于对经济研究，性别问题和作者姓名排序的一般知识。本文提供了一个使用Crossref数据的示例，但由于存在许多缺点，该数据源的使用仍然较少。在这里，人们第一次注意到斯拉夫人姓名特征的明确使用。
