    Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin, nails, hair and its diseases. It is a Specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. Systematic research plans on any subject, including dermatology. Dermatology is in need of solid data to identify the gaps in the research. This study aimed to elucidate the most important trends, directions, and gap in this subject. The data, extracted from the Institute for Scientific Information, were used to perform a bibliometric analysis of the scientific productions (1974-2016) about dermatology. Specific parameters related to dermatology were analyzed to obtain a view of the topic's structure and document relationships. Additionally, the trends and authors in the most influential publications were analyzed. The results demonstrate the growth of scientific production in this field between 1974 and 2015. 533 institutes which were involved in writing the papers, with the Tehran Univ Med Sci and Shiraz Univ Med Sci at the top of the list respectively. According to the Betweeness Centrality Indicators of terms on the maps, the most active research areas in the field are as follows: Burn, Epidemiology, Treatment, Scar, Quality of Life, Vitiligo, Wound Healing, Platelet-Rich Plasma, Mycosis Fungoides, and Cryotherapy. Through performing the first scientometric survey on dermatology research, we analyzed the characteristics of papers and the trends in scientific production. Co-word analysis revealed outstanding is useful for policy makers to learn about the research status and make appropriate decisions for the promotion of scholarly products

    Dans cet article, nous dressons un portrait complet, de la fin des années 1980, de la ségrégation professionnelle fondée sur le sexe au Canada et de ses répercussions sur les salaires. Notre analyse révèle que les estimés de la pénalité salariale dans les emplois féminins sont influencés par le choix de méthodes d'estimations et des spécifications fonctionnelles. Nos estimés les plus robustes indiquent que pour les femmes au Canada la pénalité reliée aux emplois féminins est généralement plus faible que celle trouvée aux États-Unis. Bien que nous trouvons des résultats hétérogènes en considérant différents groupes de travailleurs, en moyenne le lien entre le taux de féminité des professions et les salaires des femmes est faible et généralement pas statistiquement significatif.In this paper, we provide a comprehensive picture, circa the late 1980's, of occupational gender segregation in Canada and its consequences for wages. Our analysis reveals sensitivity of the estimated penalty to female work to both specification and estimation strategy. Our preferred estimates indicate that the wage penalties for women in female jobs in Canada are generally smaller than penalties in the United States. Of particular note, while there is some heterogeneity across worker groups, on average the link between female wages and gender composition is small and generally not statistically significant

    The future of science will be determined primarily by the methods and tools that can be used to effectively analyze the huge amounts of data generated by the common use of digital media in scholarly communication, conversations, work processes and social structures. These characteristics, which are subsumed under the term data-intensive science, change the nature of scientific work in the most sustainable way. And most importantly, such expressions as the fact that scientific collaboration is increasingly embedded in a globally connected environment and the growth rate of scientific output in the top ten countries is increasing exponentially and this output is expressed above all by non-traditional, highly dynamic, interconnected assets such as data sets, software, ontologies, slides, videos, blog entries, are responsible for the manifold challenges for Scientometric investigations. COLLNET 2018 has met these challenges and provided an excellent opportunity to discuss the phenomena of collaboration in science, their impact on productivity, innovation, and benefits, and outcomes for individuals, institutions, and economies worldwide. The COLLNET Conference Series and the active COLLNET community have been playing for almost two decades an outstanding role in scholarly communication for improving co-work and collaboration among researchers and practitioners all over the world. This global interdisciplinary research network is to comprise the prominent scientists, who work at present in the field of quantitative science studies. COLLNET 2018 was also a great opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to share experiences, ideas, and research results on all aspects of Webometrics, Informetrics and Scientometrics and to open new avenues for possible research collaborations in the future. This Procedia includes selected papers presented at the 14th International Conference on Webometrics, Informetrics and Scientometrics (WIS) & 19th COLLNET Meeting, which took place during 05 to 08 December 2018 in the University of Macau, Macau. The Conference was organized by the Department of Computer and Information Science, University of Macau, in collaboration with Digital Information Research Labs, India and the COLLNET Coordination Centre, Germany. The organizing committee and the editors are grateful to the delegates who had submitted and presented papers
