The Research Space: using the career paths of scholars to predict the evolution of the research output of individuals, institutions, and nations
In recent years scholars have built maps of science by connecting the
academic fields that cite each other, are cited together, or that cite a
similar literature. But since scholars cannot always publish in the fields they
cite, or that cite them, these science maps are only rough proxies for the
potential of a scholar, organization, or country, to enter a new academic
field. Here we use a large dataset of scholarly publications disambiguated at
the individual level to create a map of science-or research space-where links
connect pairs of fields based on the probability that an individual has
published in both of them. We find that the research space is a significantly
more accurate predictor of the fields that individuals and organizations will
enter in the future than citation based science maps. At the country level,
however, the research space and citations based science maps are equally
accurate. These findings show that data on career trajectories-the set of
fields that individuals have previously published in-provide more accurate
predictors of future research output for more focalized units-such as
individuals or organizations-than citation based science maps
Integration Principles of Russian and Japanese Databases on Inorganic Materials
The methods and software for integration of databases (DBs) on inorganic material and substance
properties have been developed. The information systems integration is based on known approaches
combination: EII (Enterprise Information Integration) and EAI (Enterprise Application Integration). The metabase -
special database that stores data on integrated DBs contents is an integrated system kernel. Proposed methods
have been applied for DBs integrated system creation in the field of inorganic chemistry and materials science.
Important developed integrated system feature is ability to include DBs that have been created by means of
different DBMS using essentially various computer platforms: Sun (DB "Diagram") and Intel (other DBs) and
diverse operating systems: Sun Solaris (DB "Diagram") and Microsoft Windows Server (other DBs)
The scientific-educational synergy as the engine of the information society; European challenges and Ukrainian problems
The article analyzes a new image of education and science as undergoing essential transformations in the information society where both notions grow into indispensible constituents of human lifestyle and become mostly pragmatic in character. Outlined are the consequences of this irreversible process and the algorithm of an expedient response on the part of Ukrainian education to the modernity challenges is constructed
British Geological Survey Annual Science Review 2012-13
The British Geological Survey (BGS) is part of the Natural
Environment Research Council and is its principal supplier of
national capability in geoscience.
We advance understanding of the structure, properties and
processes of the solid Earth system through interdisciplinary
surveys, monitoring, modelling and research for the benefit of
society.
We are the UK’s premier provider of objective and
authoritative geoscientific data, information and knowledge
for creating wealth, using natural resources sustainably,
reducing risk and living with the impacts of environmental
change.
Our vision
To be the world’s leading centre for geoscience impact
Space technology in Berlin. Volume 1: Ideas for the establishment of an institute for space processing technology
The past, present, and future status of space technology in Berlin is discussed, including raw material processing, transportation, energy, and information generation and distribution. How Berlin can contribute toward further advancement in this field, individually or in collaboration with international partners is indicated
