One gap in current patent-mining practice is the lack of tools to build SAR knowledge. Here, we report a novel technique that enabled us to derive useful SAR information from the exemplified structures of a series of patents. Continue reading Building structure-activity insights through patent mining

Evolving collaboration networks in Scientometrics in 1978–2010: a micro–macro analysis
This paper reports first results on the interplay of different levels of the science system. Specifically, we would like to understand if and how collaborations at the author (micro) level impact collaboration patterns among institutions (meso) and countries (macro). All 2,541 papers (articles, proceedings papers, and reviews) published in the international journal Scientometrics from 1978–2010 are analyzed and visualized across the different levels and the evolving collaboration networks are animated over time. Continue reading Evolving collaboration networks in Scientometrics in 1978–2010: a micro–macro analysis
Trends of the International Plant Root Exudates Studies based on Bibliometrical Analysis
In recent decades, the root exudates and applied research in ecology has made significant progress. In particular, more and more attentions were paid to the role and functions of the root exudates of forest vegetation in ecological restoration and reconstruction process. Using the databases of SCIE, CPCIS, CCR, and IC as the sources, we retrieved and analyzed the articles on the root exudates (including original articles, conference abstracts and proceedings, as well as reviews). Continue reading Trends of the International Plant Root Exudates Studies based on Bibliometrical Analysis

Combined biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields and other agents in the published literature
Electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation exerts both stand-alone and combined effects on biological systems. The present study examines the scope of the combined effects; i.e., identify effects on biological systems from combined exposure to electromagnetic fields/radiation and at least one other agent. Only articles in which the presence of EMF had some effect (beneficial or adverse) on the biological system were selected. Continue reading Combined biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields and other agents in the published literature
A knowledge discovery method based on analysis of multiple co-occurrence relationships in collections of journal papers
This paper explores a method of knowledge discovery by visualizing and analyzing co-occurrence relations among three or more entities in collections of journal articles. Continue reading A knowledge discovery method based on analysis of multiple co-occurrence relationships in collections of journal papers
Text Clumping for Technical Intelligence
This development responds to a challenge. Text mining software can conveniently generate very large sets of terms or phrases. Our examples draw from use of VantagePoint (or equivalently, Thomson Data Analyzer – TDA) software [1] to analyze abstract record sets. Continue reading Text Clumping for Technical Intelligence
Assessment of Non-Financial Criteria in the Selection of Investment Projects for Seed Capital Funding: the Contribution of Scientometrics and Patentometrics
The aim of this article is to assess the potential of using scientometric and patentometric indicators as a way of instrumentalizing the selection process of projects for seed capital funding. Continue reading Assessment of Non-Financial Criteria in the Selection of Investment Projects for Seed Capital Funding: the Contribution of Scientometrics and Patentometrics
Visualizing Cross-disciplinarity: Assessing the US National Science Foundation Human & Social Dynamics Program
We report on a project to assess the interdisciplinary and research networking implications of a bold US National Science Foundation program that crosses disciplinary boundaries.
