  • Newsletter Editor: Yoichi Nakanishi Associate Editors: Yoshinosuke Fukuchi, David CL Lam, Suga Konno
    Vol.30, No.1 (January 2021) Newsletter Editor: Yoichi Nakanishi Associate Editors: Yoshinosuke Fukuchi, David CL Lam, Suga Konno Message from the President A Happy New Year to all APSR members. Last year was a year of COVID-19. The APSR was also influenced by the disease, and the APSR 2020 Congress in Kyoto was postponed to 2021. I would express sincere appreciation to the Japanese Local Congress Committee team for their tremendous efforts to re-arrange the Congress, and also to the Korean Local Congress Committee team for their kind acceptance of postponement of the APSR Congress in Seoul to 2022. Under this difficult situation, we should not stagnate scientific progress and educational activities. We have held two COVID-19 webinars, three APSR virtual meetings, an ATS-APSR joint webinar, joint symposia with the Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP), the Malaysian Thoracic Society (MTS) and the Taiwan Society of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (TSPCCM). It is a great pleasure that many APSR members joined these web meetings and all of them were so successful. I am profoundly grateful to the Central Congress Committee members, Assembly members, presenters, facilitators, audiences, en bloc members, sponsors and the APSR secretariat office. The Asia-Pacific region has the biggest population in the world and is accomplishing rapid development, though it still has many health problems such as air pollution, tobacco smoking, respiratory infection including tuberculosis, and poor medical infrastructure. We are happy to have lots of projects to solve these problems. This year, we are going to further enhance our activities in order to achieve our objectives, i.e., “The advancement and promotion of knowledge of the respiratory system in health and disease, which strives to encourage research, improve clinical practice through teaching, increase awareness of health problems in the area and promote the exchange of knowledge among respirologists in the Asia-Pacific region”.

Background: The number of citations of an article reflects its impact on the scientific community. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize the 100 most cited articles on lung cancer screening. Methods: The 100 most cited articles on lung cancer screening published in all scientific journals were identified using the Web of Science database. Relevant data, including the number of citations, publication year, publishing journal and impact factor (IF), authorship and country of origin, article type and study design, screening modality, and main topic, were collected and analyzed. Results: The 100 most cited articles were all English and published between 1973 and 2017, with 81 published after 2000.

  • On the Relation Between the Wos Impact Factor, the Eigenfactor, the Scimago Journal Rank, the Article Influence Score and the Journal H-Index
    1 On the relation between the WoS impact factor, the Eigenfactor, the SCImago Journal Rank, the Article Influence Score and the journal h-index Ronald ROUSSEAU 1 and the STIMULATE 8 GROUP 2 1 KHBO, Dept. Industrial Sciences and Technology, Oostende, Belgium [email protected] 2Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium The STIMULATE 8 Group consists of: Anne Sylvia ACHOM (Uganda), Helen Hagos BERHE (Ethiopia), Sangeeta Namdev DHAMDHERE (India), Alicia ESGUERRA (The Philippines), Nguyen Thi Ngoc HOAN (Vietnam), John KIYAGA (Uganda), Sheldon Miti MAPONGA (Zimbabwe), Yohannis MARTÍ- LAHERA (Cuba), Kelefa Tende MWANTIMWA (Tanzania), Marlon G. OMPOC (The Philippines), A.I.M. Jakaria RAHMAN (Bangladesh), Bahiru Shifaw YIMER (Ethiopia). Abstract Four alternatives to the journal Impact Factor (IF) indicator are compared to find out their similarities. Together with the IF, the SCImago Journal Rank indicator (SJR), the EigenfactorTM score, the Article InfluenceTM score and the journal h- index of 77 journals from more than ten fields were collected. Results show that although those indicators are calculated with different methods and even use different databases, they are strongly correlated with the WoS IF and among each other. These findings corroborate results published by several colleagues and show the feasibility of using free alternatives to the Web of Science for evaluating scientific journals. Keywords: WoS impact factor, Eigenfactor, SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), Article Influence Score, journal h-index, correlations Introduction STIMULATE stands for Scientific and Technological Information Management in Universities and Libraries: an Active Training Environment. It is an international training programme in information management, supported by the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR), aiming at young scientists and professionals from 2 developing countries.

  • Amplifying the Impact of Open Access: Wikipedia and the Diffusion of Science
    (forthcoming in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology) Amplifying the Impact of Open Access: Wikipedia and the Diffusion of Science Misha Teplitskiy Grace Lu Eamon Duede Dept. of Sociology and KnowledgeLab Computation Institute and KnowledgeLab University of Chicago KnowledgeLab University of Chicago [email protected] University of Chicago [email protected] (773) 834-4787 [email protected] (773) 834-4787 5735 South Ellis Avenue (773) 834-4787 5735 South Ellis Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60637 5735 South Ellis Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60637 Chicago, Illinois 60637 Abstract With the rise of Wikipedia as a first-stop source for scientific knowledge, it is important to compare its representation of that knowledge to that of the academic literature. Here we identify the 250 most heavi- ly used journals in each of 26 research fields (4,721 journals, 19.4M articles in total) indexed by the Scopus database, and test whether topic, academic status, and accessibility make articles from these journals more or less likely to be referenced on Wikipedia. We find that a journal’s academic status (im- pact factor) and accessibility (open access policy) both strongly increase the probability of its being ref- erenced on Wikipedia. Controlling for field and impact factor, the odds that an open access journal is referenced on the English Wikipedia are 47% higher compared to paywall journals. One of the implica- tions of this study is that a major consequence of open access policies is to significantly amplify the dif- fusion of science, through an intermediary like Wikipedia, to a broad audience. Word count: 7894 Introduction Wikipedia, one of the most visited websites in the world1, has become a destination for information of all kinds, including information about science (Heilman & West, 2015; Laurent & Vickers, 2009; Okoli, Mehdi, Mesgari, Nielsen, & Lanamäki, 2014; Spoerri, 2007).

  • Ranking Forestry Journals Using the H-Index
    Ranking forestry journals using the h-index Journal of Informetrics, in press Jerome K Vanclay Southern Cross University PO Box 157, Lismore NSW 2480, Australia [email protected] Abstract An expert ranking of forestry journals was compared with journal impact factors and h -indices computed from the ISI Web of Science and internet-based data. Citations reported by Google Scholar offer an efficient way to rank all journals objectively, in a manner consistent with other indicators. This h-index exhibited a high correlation with the journal impact factor (r=0.92), but is not confined to journals selected by any particular commercial provider. A ranking of 180 forestry journals is presented, on the basis of this index. Keywords : Hirsch index, Research quality framework, Journal impact factor, journal ranking, forestry Introduction The Thomson Scientific (TS) Journal Impact Factor (JIF; Garfield, 1955) has been the dominant measure of journal impact, and is often used to rank journals and gauge relative importance, despite several recognised limitations (Hecht et al., 1998; Moed et al., 1999; van Leeuwen et al., 1999; Saha et al., 2003; Dong et al., 2005; Moed, 2005; Dellavalle et al., 2007). Other providers offer alternative journal rankings (e.g., Lim et al., 2007), but most deal with a small subset of the literature in any discipline. Hirsch’s h-index (Hirsch, 2005; van Raan, 2006; Bornmann & Daniel, 2007a) has been suggested as an alternative that is reliable, robust and easily computed (Braun et al., 2006; Chapron and Husté, 2006; Olden, 2007; Rousseau, 2007; Schubert and Glänzel, 2007; Vanclay, 2007; 2008).
