English as the International Language of Research
The annual world output of research papers and scholarly ar ticles is large and increasing, and there is little doubt that English is the medium of publication for the majority of such papers. However, closer analyses of the available data reveal rather few papers from non- native speakers, especially from the Third World. This imbalance sug gests that English is only the International Language of Research in a receptive sense. It needs to become so in a productive sense as well if Third World investment in doctoral scholarship etc. is to remain justified. Unfortunately, the ESP profession has concentrated on undergraduate teaching programmes and rather neglected the teaching of Research English. However, there are now welcome signs of change, which may therefore aid a process of making English a truly international language rather than one over-restricted in terms of publication sources to the Northern Hemisphere.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/68423/2/10.1177_003368828501600101.pd
Journal Productivity in Fishery Science an informetric analysis
Knowledge is a human resource which has the ability to
consolidate the valuable results of human thinking and
civilization through different times. It is the totality of
understanding of nature and its features for improved
quality of life of human society. Because of this, knowledge
has been increasing in volume, dimension and directions. The
term ‘information’ and 'knowledge' are often used as if they
are interchangeable. Information is ‘potential knowledge‘
which is converted into knowledge by the integration of
memory of human beings. In modern times there is a confusion
on knowledge usage. Therefore an understanding of the
concept ‘knowledge’ is needed for formulation of strategies
in information science

Quantitative Perspectives on Fifty Years of the Journal of the History of Biology
Journal of the History of Biology provides a fifty-year long record for
examining the evolution of the history of biology as a scholarly discipline. In
this paper, we present a new dataset and preliminary quantitative analysis of
the thematic content of JHB from the perspectives of geography, organisms, and
thematic fields. The geographic diversity of authors whose work appears in JHB
has increased steadily since 1968, but the geographic coverage of the content
of JHB articles remains strongly lopsided toward the United States, United
Kingdom, and western Europe and has diversified much less dramatically over
time. The taxonomic diversity of organisms discussed in JHB increased steadily
between 1968 and the late 1990s but declined in later years, mirroring broader
patterns of diversification previously reported in the biomedical research
literature. Finally, we used a combination of topic modeling and nonlinear
dimensionality reduction techniques to develop a model of multi-article fields
within JHB. We found evidence for directional changes in the representation of
fields on multiple scales. The diversity of JHB with regard to the
representation of thematic fields has increased overall, with most of that
diversification occurring in recent years. Drawing on the dataset generated in
the course of this analysis, as well as web services in the emerging digital
history and philosophy of science ecosystem, we have developed an interactive
web platform for exploring the content of JHB, and we provide a brief overview
of the platform in this article. As a whole, the data and analyses presented
here provide a starting-place for further critical reflection on the evolution
of the history of biology over the past half-century.Comment: 45 pages, 14 figures, 4 table
