The Influence of Marketing Journals: A Citation Analysis of the Discipline and its Sub-areas

An important characteristic of journals is how influential they are in the generation and dissemination of scholarly knowledge in a discipline.We report a citation analysis of 49 marketing and marketing-related journals to assess their relative influence based on the index of structural influence proposed by Salancik (1986).We investigate the level and span of influence of the 49 journals, both in the marketing discipline as a whole and in five specific sub-areas of marketing.As expected, the Journal of Marketing emerges as the most influential journal in the discipline and as the journal with the broadest span of influence across all sub-areas of marketing.However, different journals are most influential in each of the sub-areas, and the Journal of Marketing is particularly influential among the applied marketing journals.We also find that the index of structural influence is significantly correlated with all other measures of influence but least so with the impact factors reported in the Social Sciences Citation Index.marketing;citation analysis

Portunes: representing attack scenarios spanning through the physical, digital and social domain

The security goals of an organization are realized through security policies, which concern physical security, digital security and security awareness. An insider is aware of these security policies, and might be able to thwart the security goals by combining physical, digital and social means. A systematic analysis of such attacks requires the whole environment where the insider operates to be formally represented. This paper presents Portunes, a framework which integrates all three security domains in a single environment. Portunes consists of a high-level abstraction model focusing on the relations between the three security domains and a lower abstraction level language able to represent the model and describe attacks which span the three security domains. Using the Portunes framework, we are able to represent a whole new family of attacks where the insider is not assumed to use purely digital actions to achieve a malicious goal

Neuroprotection in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review of the Preclinical Data.

Aim: This study aimed to systematically review the preclinical data of neuroprotective agents for Parkinson's disease (PD) to support the translation of these compounds. Methods: The study consisted of two phases. In phase I, Pubmed and Scopus were systematically searched for neuroprotective agents for PD. In phase II, a systematic search was conducted for each substance identified in phase I. Articles were included if they used MPTP, 6-OHDA, rotenone or paraquat injury models. Results: Phase I led to the identification of 168 putative neuroprotective agents. Eventually ten compounds were included: melatonin, estrogen, nicotine, caffeine, riluzole, curcumin, coenzyme Q10, aspirin, EGCG and resveratrol. Phase II revealed 113 experimental studies and three reviews. Conclusion: This study clearly depicts the preclinical data of ten promising neuroprotective agents. While some of these compounds have already been tested in clinical use, none of them was studied in an appropriately designed trial to determine a neuroprotective effect. In expectation of qualitatively improved neuroprotection trials, the data from this study provide a firm foundation for future research. © Douna et al
