were showcased. The bibliometric analysis of 3362 documents of interest indicated that most of the relevant source titles were in the fields of toxicology, pharmacy, and materials science. The three research hotspots were the biological process of inhalable nano-systems in vivo, the manufacture of inhalable nano-systems, and the impact of nano-systems on human health in the environment. Toxicity and safety have always been the keywords. The USA was the major contributing country, and international collaboration and co-authorship were common phenomena. The general situation and development trend of literature of inhalable nano-systems were summarized. It was anticipated that bibliometrics analysis could provide new ideas for the future research of inhalable nano-systems.

“…For instance, although Scopus automatically compiles data on authors including publications, citation counts, and metrics such as the H-index, unless an author profile is “claimed” and continually updated, the numbers tallied are likely underestimations of total scientific output. The H-index itself has many advantages including its easy computability, lack of required data processing, and accessibility from most indexing databases, but it is certainly not a perfect measure of scientific productivity 19 . We did not collect data on project mentors which may also significantly affect the outcomes assessed in this study and would be interesting to investigate further 4 .…”

Factors Associated with the Success and Timing of Orthopaedic Surgery Resident Research Thesis Project Publication

et al. 2023

Introduction:Scholarship and research are important aspects of orthopaedic surgery training. Many orthopaedic surgery residency programs have developed dedicated research curricula, often culminating in a capstone thesis project with the intended goal of peer-reviewed publication. However, data on the success of these programs are scarce. The purpose of the current study was to determine the success rate and time to publication of resident research thesis projects at our own institution while evaluating factors associated with these outcomes.Methods:Resident research thesis projects performed over the past 15 years were aggregated and reviewed. Additional data regarding the projects and former trainees who performed them were collected using public resources which included measures of current academic aptitude (i.e., H-index and number of publications) as well as project and publication characteristics. Cox and linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the relation between numerous predictor variables and the success and time to publication. All analyses were conducted at the 95% confidence interval (CI) level.Results:Sixty-eight (n = 68; 83%) resident research thesis projects were published an average of 2,582.8 days, or roughly 7 years from the start of their residency training. Graduate adjusted H-index was associated with increased success and decreased time to publication (hazard ratio 1.183 [95% CI: 1.059-1.322], p = 0.003). A lower journal impact factor was associated with taking significantly shorter time to reach publication (F(1,66) = 7.839, p = 0.007; Β1 = 146.45, p = 0.007). Study type (clinical vs. laboratory), posttraining practice setting (academic vs. private), and whether the research topic was within the same area of the trainee's matched fellowship(s) did not predict publication success.Discussion/Conclusion:Over the past 15 years, 83% of orthopaedic resident research thesis projects at our institution were published. A higher adjusted H-index was associated with greater completion and faster timing to publication. A lower journal impact factor was also associated with quicker publication. These data highlight the publication metrics of a formalized resident research program and identify factors associated with success and timing of publication.

“…The h-index roughly measures the number of impactful publications a researcher has produced. While there are several similar indices that address various inconsistencies in the h-index (Bihari, Tripathi, and Deepak 2021;Waltman and Van Eck 2012), and alternatives such as the proposed "Success Index" (Franceschini et al 2012), none of them address the impact of dataset sharing in scientific research. We believe the SCIENCE-index, proposed in our prior work would serve as a powerful incentive mechanism for our data sharing protocol.…”

We present a framework for incentivized research data sharing using an ontology called the Data Sharing Ontology (DSO). The DSO captures the semantics of academic research data sharing and provides an operational specification for data sharing between researchers. The DSO includes a two-part incentive mechanism to confirm citations and reward reproducible research methods. The proposed solution is demonstrated using a dataset-sharing decentralized application use case. The paper's contributions provide a scalable technique for creating, curating, publishing, and consuming web-based, structured, and reusable datasets, including semantically annotated knowledge graphs.
