This document summarizes a case study conducted by Biolauncher to benchmark stem cell science in Cambridge, UK compared to other global cities. The study analyzed pubmed publications between 2000-2009 with stem cell MeSH headings to map total publications, total impact factor, and average impact factor of the top 15 stem cell research cities each year. The results showed that Cambridge, UK and London, UK were leading locations for stem cell research in Europe in terms of both research capacity and academic leadership. The case study concluded that Cambridge, UK is an important open innovation destination for companies seeking to access stem cell innovation.
Know the difference between fertilization and conception; Understand why a fish-like embryo cannot exist in a Petri dish; Explore why a fertilized egg is not necessarily an embryo; See why scientists need to explore all the possibilities of stem cells without limiting federal funding to exclude blastocysts.
This document discusses the potential of adult stem cells to treat degenerative diseases by regenerating cells. It outlines two types of stem cells - embryonic stem cells which are controversial due to ethical issues, and adult stem cells which are readily available and have been safely used for therapies. The document describes how adult stem cells can be collected from healthy individuals using growth factors and apheresis, then cryogenically stored for future autologous use to treat diseases like cancer and heart disease. It provides examples of current adult stem cell therapies including bone marrow transplants to treat blood cancers.
The New Dimensions in Scholcomm: How a global scholarly community collaborati...NASIG
Digital Science and 100+ global research institutions have spent the better part of the last two years collaborating to solve three distinct challenges in the existing research landscape:
* Research evaluation focuses almost exclusively on publications and citations data
* Research evaluation tools are siloed in proprietary applications that rarely speak to each other
* The gaps amongst proprietary data sources made generating a complete picture of impact extremely difficult (and expensive)
The goal of this collaboration amongst publishers, funders, research administrators, libraries, and Digital Science was to transform the research landscape by attempting to solve the problems resulting from expensive, siloed data research evaluation data.
This document summarizes Dr. Trish Groves' presentation on how to survive peer review and get published. The presentation covers selecting an appropriate study design to match the research question, ensuring ethical research practices, writing each section of a research paper, choosing the right journal, and navigating the peer review process. Dr. Groves emphasizes writing clearly and honestly, following reporting guidelines, considering all ethical issues, and being transparent about any competing interests. The goal is to conduct and report research rigorously according to best practices.

This document discusses how to write a good paper and get published in a high-quality journal. It provides information on identifying the right journal, how publishers add value, writing the different sections of a paper, addressing authorship and references correctly, and tips for increasing the impact of published research. Key metrics for evaluating journals like impact factor, CiteScore, and submissions/acceptances over time are presented for a selection of Elsevier journals. The presentation aims to help researchers improve their chances of successful publication.
At Elsevier, a lot of effort is focussed on content discovery for users, allowing them to find the most relevant articles for their research. This, at its core, blurs the boundaries of search and recommendation as we are both pushing content to the user and allowing them to search the world’s largest catalogue of scientific research. Apart from using the content as is, we can make new content more discoverable with the help of authors at submission time, for example by getting them to write an executive summary of their paper. However, doing this at submission time means that this additional information is not available for older content. This raises the question of how we can utilise the author’s input on new content to create the same feature retrospectively to the whole Elsevier corpus. Focusing on one use case, we discuss how an extractive summarization model (which is trained on the user-submitted summaries), is used to retrospectively generate executive summaries for articles in the catalogue. Further, we show how extractive summarization is used to highlight the salient points (methods, results and finding) within research articles across the complete corpus. This helps users to identify whether an article is of particular interest for them. As a logical next step, we investigate how these extractions can be used to make the research papers more discoverable through connecting it to other papers which share similar findings, methods or conclusion. In this talk we start from the beginning, understanding what users want from summarization systems. We discuss how the proposed use cases were developed and how this ties into the discovery of new content. We then look in more technical detail at what data is available and which methods can be utilised to implement such a system. Finally, while we are working toward taking this extractive summarization system into production, we need to understand the quality of what is being produced before going live. We discuss how internal annotators were used to confirming the quality of the summaries. Though the monitoring of quality does not stop there, we continually monitor user interaction with the extractive summaries as a proxy for quality and satisfaction.
This document provides an overview of the publishing process for the Journal of Advanced Nursing (JAN).

Engineering Scopus indexed journals are published monthly - IFERPIFERP
The publication process is an important component in ensuring the quality of academic research. Peer review is the best way to ensure the quality of engineering journals. Sure, peer review has flaws, but there is no better alternative than allowing the world's most knowledgeable domain specialists to evaluate a research paper. Nonetheless, it is also true that peer review and editorial practices have significantly contributed to the current "replication crisis" in most academic fields. Because of the increasing competition for media attention, editors and reviewers are more likely to accept fanciful and sensationalized study results rather than less sensationalized ones.

How to be recognized as a quality oa journal finalTom Olijhoek
The document provides an overview of assessing the quality of open access journals. It discusses the role of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) compared to Scopus and Web of Science in evaluating quality. Key aspects of quality open access include adhering to the BOAI definition, using open licensing, and having a peer review process. Quality publishing involves best practices like transparency and editorial policies. While the Thomson Reuters Impact Factor is commonly used, it is an inappropriate measure of journal or article quality. New forms of impact assessment like altmetrics and relative citation scores provide better evaluations.
The document discusses the use of bibliometric data and citation metrics to evaluate research performance and support decision making. It notes the increasing importance of demonstrating research impact and return on investment. Thomson Reuters products like the Journal Citation Reports and Web of Science are positioned as providing objective citation and bibliometric data to help with research assessment and evaluation exercises. The document also provides examples of how this data can be used to analyze the research performance of institutions and individuals.
This document provides an overview of various bibliometric products and metrics that can be used to measure research impact, including journal impact factor, h-index, citation counts, and journal/article ranking tools from Journal Citation Reports, Scopus, and Google Scholar. It discusses the purpose and calculations of metrics like impact factor, eigenfactor, and source normalized impact per paper (SNIP). It also covers limitations of bibliometrics and recommends using multiple metrics and tools to evaluate research. Exercises are provided to help understand how to analyze journals, articles, and individual researchers using different bibliometric resources.

4. Why Benchmark Cambridge, UK?
• Approached by regional inward investment agency – East of England
International
• Responsible for promoting Cambridge, UK as a destination for global life science
businesses
• Prioritising Stem cell science and regenerative medicine
• Wanted to understand “How good is Cambridge, UK?”
• Challenge of that question is you need to be able to answer “How good
is every other city in the world and where does Cambridge, UK rank?”
• Other centres are investing to attract stem cell business
5. Benchmarking Stem Cell Science
• Aim: To quantify Cambridge, UK stem cell research leadership
position
• Employ objective methodology that examines academic output
• Analysis performed using ShowcaseBio
• Considered peer review publications (academic output) recorded in
PubMed
• with MeSH heading of „Stem Cells‟
• Papers published between 2000 and 2009
• Divided into annual datasets
• Attributed and mapped total publications per city based upon first
author address
7. Total Publications Shows Capacity
• Each publication is not equivalent – some greatly advance the
understanding of the field, others are additive
• Biolauncher can not read each paper, nor are we qualified to make
judgements about each publications merits
• Employ Impact factors to rank publications by impact
• Used EigenFactor Article Influence™
• Article Influence score is a measure of the average influence of each of its
articles over the first five years after publication
• More information at www.eigenfactor.org
• Comparable to Thomson Scientific's widely-used Impact Factor
• Map the total impact factor by city to reveal total competence at each
location
9. Total Impact Factor
• Total Impact Factor is a measure of capacity and competence at each
location.
• It does not reveal academic leadership, because
• Relatively few leaders in any subject
• Leadership is identified by the
• The prestige/impact of the journal that publishes papers
• Frequency that the publication is cited by peers
• Leaders have a higher average impact score than their peers
• Biolauncher calculated and mapped the average impact factor for the
top 15 cities for each year 2000-2009

12. Conclusions
• Cambridge scientists are publishing influential research
• Cambridge and London leading location for research in Europe,
combining leadership and capacity
• Cambridge, UK as an important open innovation destination for
companies seeking to access stem cell innovation
• Methodology provides an objective approach to assessing academic
leadership in any life science domain
13. Limitations of the Analysis
• Affiliation information is usually only associated with the first author of
a paper. For collaborative papers with multiple authors at different
insitutions this may mean that some attributions are missed.
• All average impact factors are fundamentally based on citation
metrics within a large but finite pool of publications, the majority of
which are English language journals. This inevitably discriminates
against papers that are written in languages other than English.
• Not all addresses provided in PubMed will geocode correctly.
Badly
formed or incomplete addresses may be excluded from this analysis.
• BioLauncher chose not to aggregate closely related place names, e.g.
Stanford and Palo Alto ; Cambridge and Boston, US or Cambridge
and London, UK.
