One way to assess a certain aspect of the value of scientific research is to measure the attention it receives on social media. While previous research has mostly focused on the number of mentions of scientific research on social media, the current study applies topic networks to measure public attention to scientific research on Twitter. Topic networks are the networks of co-occurring author keywords in scholarly publications and networks of co-occurring hashtags in the tweets mentioning those scholarly publications. This study investigates which topics in opioid scholarly publications have received public attention on Twitter. Additionally, it investigates whether the topic networks generated from the publications tweeted by all accounts (bot and non-bot accounts) differ from those generated by non-bot accounts. Our analysis is based on a set of opioid scholarly publications from 2011 to 2019 and the tweets associated with them. We use co-occurrence network analysis to generate topic networks. Results indicated that Twitter users have mostly used generic terms to discuss opioid publications, such as Opioid, Pain, Addiction, Treatment, Analgesics, Abuse, Overdose, and Disorders. Results confirm that topic networks provide a legitimate method to visualize public discussions of health-related scholarly publications and how Twitter users discuss health-related scientific research differently from the scientific community. There was a substantial overlap between the topic networks based on the tweets by all accounts and non-bot accounts. This result indicates that it might not be necessary to exclude bot accounts for generating topic networks as they have a negligible impact on the results.

The goal of our research is to understand how ideas propagate, combine and are created in large social networks. In this work, we look at a sample of relevant scientific publications in the area of high-frequency analog circuit design and their citat
ion distribution. A novel aspect of our work is the way in which we categorize citations based on the reason and place of it in a publication. We created seven citation categories from general domain references, references to specific methods used in the same domain problem, references to an analysis method, references for experimental comparison and so on. This added information allows us to define two new measures to characterize the creativity (novelty and usefulness) of a publication based on its pattern of citations clustered by reason, place and citing scientific group. We analyzed 30 publications in relevant journals since 2000 and their about 300 citations, all in the area of high-frequency analog circuit design. We observed that the number of citations a publication receives from different scientific groups matches a Levy type distribution: with a large number of groups citing a publication relatively few times, and a very small number of groups citing a publication a large number of times. We looked at the motifs a publication is cited differently by different scientific groups.
The task of expert finding has been getting increasing attention in information retrieval literature. However, the current state-of-the-art is still lacking in principled approaches for combining different sources of evidence in an optimal way. This
paper explores the usage of learning to rank methods as a principled approach for combining multiple estimators of expertise, derived from the textual contents, from the graph-structure with the citation patterns for the community of experts, and from profile information about the experts. Experiments made over a dataset of academic publications, for the area of Computer Science, attest for the adequacy of the proposed approaches.
In many scenarios, control information dissemination becomes a bottleneck, which limits the scalability and the performance of wireless networks. Such a problem is especially crucial in mobile ad hoc networks, dense networks, networks of vehicles and
drones, sensor networks. In other words, this problem occurs in any scenario with frequent changes in topology or interference level on one side and with strong requirements on delay, reliability, power consumption, or capacity on the other side. If the control information changes partially, it may be worth sending only differential updates instead of messages containing full information to reduce overhead. However, such an approach needs accurate tuning of dissemination parameters, since it is necessary to guarantee information relevance in error-prone wireless networks. In the paper, we provide a deep study of two approaches for generating differential updates - namely, incremental and cumulative - and compare their efficiency. We show that the incremental approach allows significantly reducing the amount of generated control information compared to the cumulative one, while providing the same level of information relevance. We develop an analytical model for the incremental approach and propose an algorithm which allows tuning its parameters, depending on the number of nodes in the network, their mobility, and wireless channel quality. Using the developed analytical model, we show that the incremental approach is very useful for static dense network deployments and networks with low and medium mobility, since it allows us to significantly reduce the amount of control information compared to the classical full dump approach.
Allometric scaling can reflect underlying mechanisms, dynamics and structures in complex systems; examples include typical scaling laws in biology, ecology and urban development. In this work, we study allometric scaling in scientific fields. By perf
orming an analysis of the outputs/inputs of various scientific fields, including the numbers of publications, citations, and references, with respect to the number of authors, we find that in all fields that we have studied thus far, including physics, mathematics and economics, there are allometric scaling laws relating the outputs/inputs and the sizes of scientific fields. Furthermore, the exponents of the scaling relations have remained quite stable over the years. We also find that the deviations of individual subfields from the overall scaling laws are good indicators for ranking subfields independently of their sizes.
Data intensive research requires the support of appropriate datasets. However, it is often time-consuming to discover usable datasets matching a specific research topic. We formulate the dataset discovery problem on an attributed heterogeneous graph,
which is composed of paper-paper citation, paper-dataset citation, and also paper content. We propose to characterize both paper and dataset nodes by their commonly shared latent topics, rather than learning user and item representations via canonical graph embedding models, because the usage of datasets and the themes of research projects can be understood on the common base of research topics. The relevant datasets to a given research project can then be inferred in the shared topic space. The experimental results show that our model can generate reasonable profiles for datasets, and recommend proper datasets for a query, which represents a research project linked with several papers.
