Patterns of Academic Scientific Collaboration at a Distance: Evidence from Southern European Countries

The main objective of this chapter is to examine the trends of academic scientific collaboration (SC) at a distance among public universities located in peripheral countries: Spain, Italy, Greece, and Portugal. The data to capture scientific collaboration consists of a set of co-authored articles published between 2001 and 2010 by universities located in the mentioned Southern countries, indexed by the Science Citation Index expanded (SCI Expanded) of the Information Sciences Institute (ISI) Web of Science (WoS) database. We link this data to institution-level information provided by the EUMIDA dataset. In addition, we retrieved regional data on economic variables from Eurostat. The methodology relies on a descriptive analysis of the evolution of co-publications at different notions of proximity. Our results show a trend toward collaboration over longer distances, although we find heterogeneity by countries and disciplines. Building on our results, we provide some policy implications

A Bibliometric Analysis of Peer-Reviewed Journal Publications by British Occupational Therapy Authors

Background: A bibliometric analysis was completed of the peer-reviewed literature from 1991 to 2015 written by British occupational therapy authors that was indexed in the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-Expanded) or Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) databases. Methods: “Occupational therapy” and “occupational therapist” were used as keywords to search journal articles’ publication title, abstract, author details, keywords, and KeyWords Plus. One of the authors had to be identified as a qualified occupational therapist with a British affiliation. Results: From 1991 to 2015, 680 journal articles were published by British occupational therapy authors. The top three journals in which authors published were the British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Clinical Rehabilitation, and Disability and Rehabilitation. The five institutions that generated the largest number of occupational therapy articles were the University of Nottingham, Brunel University London, University of Southampton, Queen Margaret University, and the University of East Anglia. British authors often collaborated in the writing of manuscripts with other authors from Australia, the United States, Canada, and Sweden. Conclusion: The quantity of occupational therapy peer-reviewed literature written by British authors has increased over the last 2 decades. British authors have made and continue to make noteworthy contributions to the profession’s body of refereed knowledge at the national and international levels

Citation classics in critical care medicine

Objective: The number of citations an article receives after its publication reflects its impact on the scientific community. Our purpose was to identify and examine the characteristics of the most frequently cited articles in the field of critical care medicine. Design: The 74 top-cited articles in critical care journals were identified by a computer search using the database of the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED, 1945 to present) and the Web of SCIENCE. The 45 top-cited critical care articles in all other biomedical journals were identified using the database SciSearch (1974 to present) with the key word "Critical Care”. Results: The most cited articles received 3402 and 2860 citations, respectively. The citation classics in critical care journals were published between 1968 and 1999 in six high-impact journals, led by Critical Care Medicine (37 articles), followed by the Journal of Trauma (21), and American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (9). Seventy articles were original publications, two were reviews or guidelines, and two were editorials. The top 45 classic articles in non-critical care journals were published in 13 different journals, led by the New England Journal of Medicine (11 articles), followed by JAMA and Lancet (6 articles each). The United States of America contributed most of the classic articles. Pathophysiology of the lung, sepsis and scoring systems were the primary focus of classic publications. Conclusions: Our analysis gives a historical perspective on the scientific progress of critical care medicine and allows for recognition of important advances in this specialt

El emprendimiento de base tecnológica y su punto de encuentro con la convergencia tecnocientífica: una revisión a partir del algoritmo Tree of Science

This article presents the results of a systematic literature review conducted to characterize the development of the field of Technology-Based Entrepreneurship (TBE) and its contribution to the evolution of the techno-scientific convergence of NBIC (Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information technology, and Cognitive science). This review used the Tree of Science (based on the SAP algorithm) to process references of indexed documents. The search retrieved sixty-nine articles published between 2000 and 2021 in the main collection of Web of Science, along with their respective Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts &amp; Humanities Citation Index (A&amp;HCI), Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). The most relevant documents show that universities can become catalysts between entrepreneurial students, professors, researchers, and investors, who can work together in the development of high-value, highly specialized projects. The meeting point between TBE and techno-scientific convergence was found in the need for multidisciplinary work teams, the integration of collaborative networks, and funding during development stages. Likewise, the link between science and business is growing stronger as the time between innovation and its impact on business is reduced.  It is concluded that education can become the most important strategy for technology transfer—connecting entrepreneurs with converging technologies—because such transfer requires highly-specialized knowledge.El presente artículo tuvo como propósito presentar los resultados de una revisión sistemática que busca caracterizar el desarrollo del emprendimiento de base tecnológica (EBT) y su contribución en la evolución de la perspectiva tecnocientífica de la convergencia de la nanotecnología, la biotecnología, la infotecnología y la cognotecnología (NBIC). El análisis se orientó a partir del uso del algoritmo SAP Tree of Science, encaminado al procesamiento de referencias de los documentos sistematizados. Para ello, se revisó la literatura de sesenta y nueve artículos publicados entre 2000-2021 en la colección principal de Web of Science con los índices Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts &amp; Humanities Citation Index (A&amp;HCI) y Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). Los documentos más relevantes dieron cuenta de cómo las universidades se convierten en el catalizador entre estudiantes emprendedores, docentes, investigadores e inversionistas que trabajan mancomunadamente en el desarrollo de proyectos de alto valor con elevados niveles de especialización. El punto de encuentro con la convergencia tecnocientífica se observa en la necesidad de equipos de trabajo multidisciplinarios, integración de redes de trabajo colaborativo y financiación en las etapas de su desarrollo. Asimismo, la unión entre ciencia y negocios se acelera en la medida que se disminuye el tiempo entre la innovación y el impacto empresarial. Se concluye que la educación se convierte en la principal estrategia de transferencia de tecnología que conecta a los emprendedores con las tecnologías de la convergencia debido al requerimiento de altos niveles de conocimiento especializado
