Unlike most prior researches delving into the link between science and technology through patent citations and paper citations, this article takes top 20 companies in the E&E industry as an example to examine the link between science and technology in terms of the productivity of patents and papers in one company. It also probes into patent citations and paper citations respectively and its consequences. Furthermore, this approach analyzes the link between Technology Cycle Time (TCT) and Patent-Paper Ratio (PtPR) and adopts the modified calculation, Modified Current Impact Index (Modified CII), to fit patents as well as papers. The source data are retrieved from top 20 companies’ patents and papers granted by the USPTO and covered in WoS database for the period of 1989-2008. Results from this analysis demonstrate that there is little connection between productivity and impact of papers and patents of these top 20 companies. These findings provide new empirical evidences about the linkage between technology and science at E&E industry level.[[abstract]]本研究以電子與電機產業為例,從其發明專利產量與科學論文產量的觀點探討科學與技術之關係。先前的研究多數透過對技術專利與科學文獻之間的引用來探討關於科學與技術的連結,但這樣的角度僅能呈現其相互影響的部分面向。因此本研究選擇以電子與電機產業專利表現極佳的20家世界知名公司為例,從同一個公司之專利產量與科學文獻產量的角度切入,探討科學與技術兩者之間的關連,並分別從其被引用狀況,分析企業產出專利與發表科學論文後所造成的影響程度。此外本研究也分析各公司的技術週期時間(TechnologyCycleTime,TCT),探討TCT與Patent-PaperRatio之間的關連,並改良即時影響指數(ModifiedCurrentImpactIndex,ModifiedCII)的計算方法使其同時適用於專利與論文,進而比較各公司的專利與論文之即時影響指數。其中發明專利與科學論文分別檢索自USPTO與WoS資料庫,於1989年至2008年間之資料。研究結果顯示,雖然近20年來電子與電機領域的科學論文成長幅度比技術專利大,但該領域中技術專利表現最優秀的20個公司的科學論文發表狀況與產生的影響力卻與其專利數量與影響力之間關連不顯著。本結果對於電子與電機領域之公司在技術與科學之間的連結關係提供一項新的實務證據。[[incitationindex]]TSSCI[[booktype]]紙本[[booktype]]電子

Articles published between 2010 and 2014 by a total of 8 Full-OA journals and 13 Hybrid-OA journals indexed by 2010-2013 edition of JCR were collected and analyzed in June 2015. Results showed that there were 639 articles being cited in Scopus and the average first-citation speed was 1.17 year. On the other hand, there were 434 articles being cited in WoS with a slightly higher first-time citation rate of 1.37 year. Most of the articles studied were cited for the first time in the same year or the year after of its publication. There were some articles being cited even before its official publication. Within the Hybrid-OA journals, articles belong to the OA mechanism did have shorter speed citation time than non-OA ones. This study suggested that further studies coul...

The study focuses on the distributions of first-citation speed, first self-citation, and publication patterns. It chooses 30 scholarly journals which are indexed in the category of Information Science & Library Science (IS & LS) in the Journal Citation Report 2005-2012 and analyses 10,287 articles. This study adopts citation analysis to calculate journal articles first-citation speed and journals averaged first-citation speed. Particularly, first-citation differentiates between all articles and citing articles. Results show that the average first-citation speed is about 18.79 months within; for citing articles, it is 14.26 months. In addition, first self-citation may influence on scholarly communication speed. In terms of publication mechanisms, OA articles are slower than non-OA article. The journals with in press mechanism are significantly faster. Based on the results, there are some suggestions as follows. When citing unpublished articles, authors should follow reference guide and note "in press" or related terms in the reference. Besides, for the purpose of scholarly communication unrestricting, journal publishers should encourage authors to submit manuscript to OA journals or publish OA articles.

The online survey was conducted and obtained a total of 417 valid responses. The results show that evoking the right concept of use of bibliometric indicators and research evaluation has a long way to go. The lack of recognition of bibliometric indicators exists in Taiwanese academia. Generally speaking, researchers may hear of the certain indicator, but they are not familiar with its definition and calculation process. Only JIF and h-index are considered as well-known indicators. The results also suggest that the ten principles from Leiden Manifesto can be considered as the universal guideline in research evaluation since most of Taiwanese researchers agree the contents. Especially for the principle 6 "Account for variation by field in publication and citation practices" has highest degree of agreement. However, it is interesting...

The major research questions address the research status of LIS in Taiwan, how the Taiwanese government supports the field, and the collaborative authorship of LIS journal articles in Taiwan. Bibliometric and content analysis methods were conducted to analyze 2,494 journal articles, 983 theses, and 191 research projects between 2001 and 2010. The results show LIS and Technology to be the most popular topics in journal articles. The most well-received thesis topics are LIS and Technology and User Services, accounting for more than 50 % of graduate theses. The same is true for research projects, with the subjects of LIS and Technology, LIS Theory and Foundation, and User Services having a ratio of more than 70 %. In government-sponsored research projects, the average amount of funding obtained had no significant differences or tendencies for various subjects over time. In authorship of journal articles, individual researchers conducted 66.11 % of articles in key LIS scholarly journals in Taiwan between 2001 and 2010.

Design/methodology/approach-This research examined research papers in 20 key journals in environmental engineering with a publication year range of 1999 to 2008. The bibliographical information of cited references was obtained from the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science. Findings-The findings indicated that JIF and JII values changed only slightly regardless of the inclusion or exclusion of self-citations, suggesting that the influence of self-citation on journals was insignificant. Consequently there is no need for evaluations to exclude journal self-citations in journal or researcher evaluations. In addition the findings indicated that JIF and five-year JIF were highly correlated, suggesting that it would not be necessary to extend the calculation of JIF to five years. Considering the cost in terms of time and effort, the two-year JIF is sufficient in the discipline of environmental engineering. Originality/value-This research provides a better understanding of journal self-citations in journal or researcher evaluation with JIF and JII as indicators.

The distribution of content and topics, as well as citation analysis are also investigated from the 304 articles in the years between 2000 and 2010. It is expected to unfold the development of the past 40 years of JoEMLS in the LIS research field and practitioners.

The online survey was conducted and obtained a total of 417 valid responses. The results show that evoking the right concept of use of bibliometric indicators and research evaluation has a long way to go. The lack of recognition of bibliometric indicators exists in Taiwanese academia. Generally speaking, researchers may hear of the certain indicator, but they are not familiar with its definition and calculation process. Only JIF and h-index are considered as well-known indicators. The results also suggest that the ten principles from Leiden Manifesto can be considered as the universal guideline in research evaluation since most of Taiwanese researchers agree the contents. Especially for the principle 6 "Account for variation by field in publication and citation practices" has highest degree of agreement. However, it is interesting...

The major research questions address the research status of LIS in Taiwan, how the Taiwanese government supports the field, and the collaborative authorship of LIS journal articles in Taiwan. Bibliometric and content analysis methods were conducted to analyze 2,494 journal articles, 983 theses, and 191 research projects between 2001 and 2010. The results show LIS and Technology to be the most popular topics in journal articles. The most well-received thesis topics are LIS and Technology and User Services, accounting for more than 50 % of graduate theses. The same is true for research projects, with the subjects of LIS and Technology, LIS Theory and Foundation, and User Services having a ratio of more than 70 %. In government-sponsored research projects, the average amount of funding obtained had no significant differences or tendencies for various subjects over time. In authorship of journal articles, individual researchers conducted 66.11 % of articles in key LIS scholarly journals in Taiwan between 2001 and 2010.

Design/methodology/approach-This research examined research papers in 20 key journals in environmental engineering with a publication year range of 1999 to 2008. The bibliographical information of cited references was obtained from the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science. Findings-The findings indicated that JIF and JII values changed only slightly regardless of the inclusion or exclusion of self-citations, suggesting that the influence of self-citation on journals was insignificant. Consequently there is no need for evaluations to exclude journal self-citations in journal or researcher evaluations. In addition the findings indicated that JIF and five-year JIF were highly correlated, suggesting that it would not be necessary to extend the calculation of JIF to five years. Considering the cost in terms of time and effort, the two-year JIF is sufficient in the discipline of environmental engineering. Originality/value-This research provides a better understanding of journal self-citations in journal or researcher evaluation with JIF and JII as indicators.

The distribution of content and topics, as well as citation analysis are also investigated from the 304 articles in the years between 2000 and 2010. It is expected to unfold the development of the past 40 years of JoEMLS in the LIS research field and practitioners.

Unlike most prior researches delving into the link between science and technology through patent citations and paper citations, this article takes top 20 companies in the E&E industry as an example to examine the link between science and technology in terms of the productivity of patents and papers in one company. It also probes into patent citations and paper citations respectively and its consequences. Furthermore, this approach analyzes the link between Technology Cycle Time (TCT) and Patent-Paper Ratio (PtPR) and adopts the modified calculation, Modified Current Impact Index (Modified CII), to fit patents as well as papers. The source data are retrieved from top 20 companies’ patents and papers granted by the USPTO and covered in WoS database for the period of 1989-2008. Results from this analysis demonstrate that there is little connection between productivity and impact of papers and patents of these top 20 companies. These findings provide new empirical evidences about the linkage between technology and science at E&E industry level.
