“…Since papers publicly available on the Web have been found to tend to have more impact on research (Lawrence, 2001), there appears to be a need to promote the public availability of research papers on the Web in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of scholarly communication in the XML research field.…”

“…Our previous studies have provided evidence that citation analysis studies using CiteSeer as a data source are as valid as those using SCI (Zhao & Logan, 2002;Zhao, 2003). More information about CiteSeer can be found in Bar-Ilan (2001), Goodrum et al (2001), Lawrence et al (1999), and Zhao & Strotmann (2004).…”

“…Other studies consider "electronic ingredients" in journal articles -either in reference lists or in abstracts -to gauge the impact of electronic publications on traditional print journal-based scholarly communication (Harter, 1992;Harter & Kim, 1996;ISI, 2004a;Lu, 1999;McCain, 2000;Youngen, 1997). Still others examine scholarly communication patterns demonstrated in research papers published on the Web, and study the differences from, and similarities to, what we have come to expect from print journal-based communication (Goodrum et al, 2001;Lawrence, 2001; The Open Citation Project, 2001;Zhao & Logan, 2002;Zhao, 2003Zhao, & 2004.…”

“…Two pages, which separately co-occur relatively frequently in sessions with another, third page can be considered as "indirectly associated". A similar idea was investigated in scientific citation analysis (Goodrum et al, 2001;Lawrence et al, 1999) and hyperlink (structure) analysis of the web (Henzinger, 2001;Weiss et al, 1996). Two scientific papers or web pages in which another document (page) is cited (linked) are supposed to be similar.…”

Mining Indirect Association Rules for Web Recommendation

Classical association rules, here called "direct", reflect relationships existing between items that relatively often co-occur in common transactions. In the web domain, items correspond to pages and transactions to user sessions. The main idea of the new approach presented is to discover indirect associations existing between pages that rarely occur together but there are other, "third" pages, called transitive, with which they appear relatively frequently. Two types of indirect associations rules are described in the paper: partial indirect associations and complete ones. The former respect single transitive pages, while the latter cover all existing transitive pages. The presented IDARM* Algorithm extracts complete indirect association rules with their important measure-confidence-using pre-calculated direct rules. Both direct and indirect rules are joined into one set of complex association rules, which may be used for the recommendation of web pages. Performed experiments revealed the usefulness of indirect rules for the extension of a typical recommendation list. They also deliver new knowledge not available to direct ones. The relation between ranking lists created on the basis of direct association rules as well as hyperlinks existing on web pages is also examined.

“…In the context of university web sites patterns of informal scholarly communication may perhaps be traceable in a way that has not previously been possible (e.g. Cronin et al, 1998;Ingwersen, 1998;Goodrum et al, 2001) in order to complement existing bibliometric techniques (e.g. Glänzel, 2001).…”

Methods for reporting on the targets of links from national systems of university Web sites

Whilst hyperlinks within Web sites may be primarily created for navigation purposes, those between sites are a rich source of information about the content and use of the Web. As a result there is a need to derive descriptive statistics about them, both to help understand the underlying communication processes and so that policy makers can gain insights into the use of online information by those located within their constituency. It is known, however, that using the individual web link source page as the basic unit of counting is problematical because of the number and size of link anomalies. The challenge addressed in this paper is that of developing methods to assess techniques for counting links from groups of large university web sites (site outlinks). Two methods to assess the reliability of link counts are developed and applied to judge which of seven advanced document models are most appropriate in each case. The most generally applicable method used is an internal consistency test based upon a highly simplified model of web linking behaviour. The data used comes from crawls of UK, Australian and New Zealand universities. The standard domain advanced web document model emerges as the logical choice for comparison purposes within this set. Some descriptive statistics concerning Top Level Domain link targets are given and it is demonstrated that the choice of model can effect the final results.
