“…Recommendations for future research in this area are first validation in an independent sample of trials and the use of a more sensitive metric to quantify research team composition (possibly involving extracting the number, affiliations and countries of the authors) (Wiles, Olds, and Williams, 2010). Second, it should be noted that the overall range in trial quality and journal impact factor in this sample is small and most studies report pain as most important problem.…”

Background:The relationship between trial funding and methodological quality, the conduct and reporting of trials has been investigated in several medical disciplines, but remains unclear in musculoskeletal physical therapy trials. The aim of this study was to determine the association between funding and research team composition, sample size, quality, and journal impact factor of randomized controlled trial reports in musculoskeletal physical therapy. Methods: A survey of 210 trial reports in musculoskeletal physical therapy, which were randomly selected from those published in 2011-2013 and indexed on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), is performed. Total PEDro score and citation details of the trial reports were downloaded from PEDro. Pairs of assessors independently extracted information about funding, sample size, and composition of the research team. Journal impact factor was downloaded by one reviewer. Results: Trial funding was associated with having multiple departments in the research team (odds ratio: 1.89, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-3.49), larger sample size (median: n = 72 versus n = 50), higher quality (mean PEDro score: 6.06 versus 5.11), and publication in journals with higher impact factors (median: 2.12 versus 1.78). Conclusion: Trial funding was positively associated with having multiple departments represented in the research team, larger sample size, higher quality, and publication in higher impact factor journals.

“…For example, one of the fundamental approaches is Scientometrics, which is used to gauge and analyze science (Leydesdorff 2001;Price 1965). Scientometrics analyses are mainly based on bibliometrics methods, such as citation (Leydesdorff 1998) and content analysis (Wiles et al 2010). One of the interesting and emerging areas in the field of Scienctometrics is the use of social network concepts for analyzing scientific knowledge (Hou et al 2008;Lee and Jeong 2008;Nagpaul 2002;Park et al 2005;Park and Leydesdorff 2009;Pritchard 1969;Wang et al 2010).…”

Network of the core: mapping and visualizing the core of scientific domains

2011

In this article, we propose mapping and visualizing the core of scientific domains using social network analysis techniques derived from mathematical graph theory. In particular, the concept of Network of the Core is introduced which can be employed to visualize scientific domains by constructing a network among theoretical constructs, models, and concepts. A Network of the Core can be used to reveal hidden properties and structures of a research domain such as connectedness, centrality, density, structural equivalence, and cohesion, by modeling the casual relationship among theoretical constructs. Network of the Core concept can be used to explore the strengths and limitations of a research domain, and graphically and mathematically derive the number research hypotheses. The Network of the Core approach can be applied to any domain given that the investigator has a deep understanding of the area under consideration, a graphical or conceptual view (in the form of a network of association among the theoretical constructs and concepts) of the scientific domain can be obtained, and an underlying theory is available or can be constructed to support Network of the Core formation. Future research directions and several other issues related to the Network of the Core concept are also discussed.

“…Topic mapping based on keywords has also been carried out by research that specifically examines the Employee Relations journal published byEmerald(Kataria, Kumar, Sureka, & Gupta, 2020). In addition to keywords, the researcher also adopted a research step that attempted to present data on the most cited references(Pasadeos, Berger, & Renfro, 2010), the most cited author in the field of public relations(Ki, Pasadeos, & Ertem-Eray, 2019;Pasadeos & Renfro, 1992), and the most common authoraffiliation countries(Wiles, Olds, & Williams, 2013). This decision is based on the premise that most bibliometric studies provide citation analysis of research areas, usually in the form of Journalism and public relations: An interconnection in academic research (Dandi Supriadi, Hanny Hafiar, Abdul Manan Safi, Kholidil Amin)…”

Background: Journalism and public relations are two fields that collaborate and compete with each other. Several studies have confirmed this dualism, where both terminologies are interrelated in the same scientific publication. Purpose: This study is aimed to find the interconnection between the two fields in several studies published in international journals. Method: This inquiry applies the bibliometrics method with data sources from the Web of Science and uses VosViewer as an analysis and mapping tool. Results: Results show that the number of keywords containing “public relations” counts more than “journalism.” This study reveals six clusters of keyword mapping that form specific themes: crisis communication management, ethics, professional education, public relations practitioners- journalist relationships, media relations, and publicity scope, news media management, and public relations and the media. Comparing the most cited references from the field of public relations and journalism shows the number 2:2 or equal. There are six most cited authors, four from the USA and two from Australia. Conclusions: The issue of public relations was found more than journalism because most articles are written by experts, especially Americans, and Australians, who have worked in the field of public relations, although some also had early careers in journalism. However, journalism studies were still considered as references for most articles. Implications: The work of western researchers is still at the forefront of the development of public relations science and journalism studies, which becomes a challenge for researchers from developing countries to develop studies more at the international level.
