"Seed+Expand": A validated methodology for creating high quality publication oeuvres of individual researchers
The study of science at the individual micro-level frequently requires the
disambiguation of author names. The creation of author's publication oeuvres
involves matching the list of unique author names to names used in publication
databases. Despite recent progress in the development of unique author
identifiers, e.g., ORCID, VIVO, or DAI, author disambiguation remains a key
problem when it comes to large-scale bibliometric analysis using data from
multiple databases. This study introduces and validates a new methodology
called seed+expand for semi-automatic bibliographic data collection for a given
set of individual authors. Specifically, we identify the oeuvre of a set of
Dutch full professors during the period 1980-2011. In particular, we combine
author records from the National Research Information System (NARCIS) with
publication records from the Web of Science. Starting with an initial list of
8,378 names, we identify "seed publications" for each author using five
different approaches. Subsequently, we "expand" the set of publication in three
different approaches. The different approaches are compared and resulting
oeuvres are evaluated on precision and recall using a "gold standard" dataset
of authors for which verified publications in the period 2001-2010 are
available.Comment: Paper accepted for the ISSI 2013, small changes in the text due to

How to do research on the societal impact of research? Studies from a semantic perspective
We review some recent works of our research lab that have applied novel text mining techniques to the issue of research impact assessment. The techniques are Semantic Hypergraphs and Lexicon-based Named Entity Recognition. By using these techniques, we address two distinct and open issues in research impact assessment: the epistemological and logical status of impact assessment, and the construction of quantitative indicators. © 2021 18th International Conference on Scientometrics and Informetrics, ISSI 2021.

From Photography to fMRI
Hysteria, a mysterious disease known since antiquity, is said to have ceased to exist. Challenging this commonly held view, this is the first cross-disciplinary study to examine the current functional neuroimaging research into hysteria and compare it to the nineteenth-century image-based research into the same disorder. Paula Muhr's central argument is that, both in the nineteenth-century and the current neurobiological research on hysteria, images have enabled researchers to generate new medical insights. Through detailed case studies, Muhr traces how different images, from photography to functional brain scans, have reshaped the historically situated medical understanding of this disorder that defies the mind-body dualism
