Citation Success Index – an Intuitive Pair- Wise Journal Comparison Metric
Citation success index – An intuitive pair- wise journal comparison metric Staša Milojević1, Filippo Radicchi1 and Judit Bar-Ilan2 1School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA 2Department of Information Science, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, 5290002, Israel In this paper we present “citation success index”, a metric for comparing the citation capacity of pairs of journals. Citation success index is the probability that a random paper in one journal has more citations than a random paper in another journal (50% means the two journals do equally well). Unlike the journal impact factor (IF), the citation success index depends on the broadness and the shape of citation distributions. Also, it is insensitive to sporadic highly-cited papers that skew the IF. Nevertheless, we show, based on 16,000 journals containing ~2.4 million articles, that the citation success index is a relatively tight function of the ratio of IFs of journals being compared, due to the fact that journals with same IF have quite similar citation distributions. The citation success index grows slowly as a function of IF ratio. It is substantial (>90%) only when the ratio of IFs exceeds ~6, whereas a factor of two difference in IF values translates into a modest advantage for the journal with higher IF (index of ~70%). We facilitate the wider adoption of this metric by providing an online calculator that takes as input parameters only the IFs of the pair of journals. 1. Introduction Most authors of research articles, whether in teams or as individuals, ultimately aim to maximize the impact of their publications, even when this goal is expressed as a desire to reach the widest possible audience (Gordon, 1984; Luukkonen, 1992). -
Nanoplatforms for Imaging, Targeting, and Image-Guided Drug Delivery
LXIV JCET LECTURE, 25.05.2015, 9.00 Nanoplatforms for Imaging, Targeting, and Image-Guided Drug Delivery Prof. Weibo Cai The Molecular Imaging and Nanotechnology Laboratory Departments of Radiology and Medical Physics School of Medicine and Public Health University of Wisconsin – Madison, USA 1111 Highland Ave, Room 7137 Madison, WI 53705-2275 Tel: (608) 262-1749 Fax: (608) 265-0614 Email: [email protected] OR [email protected] Group website: http://mi.wisc.edu The Molecular Imaging and Nanotechnology Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin - Madison (http://mi.wisc.edu/) is mainly focused on three areas: 1) development of multimodality molecular imaging agents; 2) nanotechnology and its biomedical applications; and 3) molecular therapy of cancer. In this talk, I will present our recent work on molecular imaging and image-guided drug delivery of cancer and some cardiovascular diseases with peptides, proteins, and a variety of nanomaterials. The primary imaging techniques used in these studies are positron emission tomography (PET), photoacoustic tomography (PAT), optical imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three of the major molecular targets that we are investigating are CD105 (i.e. endoglin), VEGFR, and integrin αvβ3. The nanomaterials that will be discussed in this presentation include nano-graphene oxide, zinc oxide nanomaterials, micelles, silica-based nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, among many others. A few representative side projects will also be presented, such as the facile synthesis of PET/MRI and PET/PAT dual-modality agents. CURRICULUM VITAE Dr. Weibo Cai is an Associate Professor of Radiology and Medical Physics (with Tenure) at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. He received his Ph.D. -

Recent Advances in Nanocarrier-Assisted Therapeutics Delivery Systems
pharmaceutics Review Recent Advances in Nanocarrier-Assisted Therapeutics Delivery Systems Shi Su and Peter M. Kang * Cardiovascular Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, 3 Blackfan Circle, CLS 910, Boston, MA 02215, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-617-735-4290; Fax: +1-617-735-4207 Received: 30 June 2020; Accepted: 28 August 2020; Published: 1 September 2020 Abstract: Nanotechnologies have attracted increasing attention in their application in medicine, especially in the development of new drug delivery systems. With the help of nano-sized carriers, drugs can reach specific diseased areas, prolonging therapeutic efficacy while decreasing undesired side-effects. In addition, recent nanotechnological advances, such as surface stabilization and stimuli-responsive functionalization have also significantly improved the targeting capacity and therapeutic efficacy of the nanocarrier assisted drug delivery system. In this review, we evaluate recent advances in the development of different nanocarriers and their applications in therapeutics delivery. Keywords: nanomedicine; nanocarriers; drug delivery 1. Introduction Nanotechnology has emerged to be an area of active investigation, especially in its applications in medicine [1]. The nanoscale manipulation allows optimal targeting and delivery as well as the controllable release of drugs or imaging agents [2]. Among all the applications of nanotechnology in medicine, nanocarrier assisted drug delivery system has attracted significant research interest due to its great translational value. The small size of the nanocarriers can help drugs overcome certain biological barriers to reach diseased areas [3,4]. Taking advantage of different nano-sized materials and various structures, nanocarriers can help poorly soluble drugs become more bioavailable and protect easily degraded therapeutics from degradation [5,6]. -
