  • The Rise and Rise of Citation Analysis
    Accepted for publication in Physics World The Rise and Rise of Citation Analysis Lokman I. Meho School of Library and Information Science, Indiana University - 1320 East 10th St., LI 011; Bloomington, IN 47405; Tel: 812-855-2018; [email protected] It is a sobering fact that some 90% of papers that have been published in academic journals are never cited. Indeed, as many as 50% of papers are never read by anyone other than their authors, referees and journal editors. We know this thanks to citation analysis, a branch of information science in which researchers study the way articles in a scholarly field are accessed and referenced by others (see box 1). Citation analysis is, however, about much more than producing shock statistics. Along with peer review, it has over the past three decades been increasingly used to judge and quantify the importance of scientists and scientific research. Citation analysis is also the machinery behind journal “impact factors” – figures of merit that researchers take note of when deciding which journal to submit their work to so that it is read as widely as possible. Indeed, the output from citation studies is often the only BOX 1: Citation Analysis at a Glance way that non-specialists in governments • Citation analysis, which involves counting how and funding bodies – or even those in many times a paper or researcher is cited, assumes that influential scientists and important works are different scientific disciplines – can cited more often than others. • Although the ISI Science Citation Index has long judge the importance of a piece of been the most common tool for measuring citations in physics, other Web-based services are now challenging its dominance.

  • WOMEN and BIRTH Journal of the Australian College of Midwives (ACM)
    WOMEN AND BIRTH Journal of the Australian College of Midwives (ACM) AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Impact Factor p.2 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.3 ISSN: 1871-5192 DESCRIPTION . Women and Birth is the official journal of the Australian College of Midwives (http://www.midwives.org.au/). It is a midwifery journal that publishes on all matters relating to pregnancy, birth, and the first six weeks post-partum. All papers must draw from, and contribute to, the relevant contemporary research, policy and/or theoretical literature. We focus on primary research papers, systematic reviews and research-informed and critiqued discussion papers. While we are based in Australia, our Editorial Board is multi-national and we welcome papers from all over the world. All papers should reflect our global perspective and reach. Articles are double blind peer- reviewed by experts in the field of the submitted work. Our woman-centred focus is inclusive of the partner, wider family, fetus and newborn, and covers both healthy and complex pregnancies and births. We recognise that individuals have diverse gender identities. Terms such as pregnant person, childbearing people and parent can be used to avoid gendering birth, and those who give birth, as feminine. However, because women are also marginalised and oppressed in most places around the world, we support use of the terms woman, mother or maternity. When we use these words, it is not meant to exclude those who give birth and do not identify as women. The journal seeks papers that take a woman-centred focus on midwifery practice, research, theory, education, management and leadership, maternity service provision, maternal and newborn health, respectful maternity care, breastfeeding, primary health care and relevant aspects of psychology, sociology, human rights and health economics.
