Early identification of breakthrough research is crucial for scientists, R&amp;D experts, and policymakers. \"Sleeping Beauty in Science\" is a category of papers characterized as \"delayed recognition\", which is considered as the crucial carriers of breakthrough research. Machine learning methods can extract and learn high-quality information from a priori knowledge to predict future trends. In this paper, to address the shortcomings of existing studies on the early identification of breakthrough research, we propose a framework for identifying breakthrough research from sleeping beauties using machine learning. In this framework, we first construct machine learning models to obtain the relationship patterns between historical sleeping beauties and their citation trends. Then, we use these relational patterns to identify potential sleeping beauties. Secondly, we construct a breakthrough index based on the essential features of breakthrough research, then we apply it to identify breakthrough research among potential sleeping beauties, enabling the early identification of breakthrough research. Finally, an empirical study is conducted in the chemistry research field to verify the validity and flexibility of this framework. The results show that the framework can effectively identify breakthrough research from sleeping beauties. This paper contributes to the early identification of breakthrough research, evaluating academic results, and exploring research frontiers. Additionally, it will also provide methodological support for the decision-making of R&amp;D experts and policymakers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informetrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139985750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the American Physical Society, this study applies the disruption index to measure the relationship between gender composition and innovation performance. The results show that compared with single-gender teams, moderate inter-gender collaboration has a greater potential to produce disruptive knowledge and must be adopted by scientific teams. Specifically, the types of innovation in mixed-gender teams are affected by the gender composition. If the proportion of female scholars and their participation increase in a mixed-gender team, it can positively contribute to disruptive performance. If female scientists are placed on a male-dominated team, they may function as consolidation representatives. The robustness results indicate that the conclusions also apply to male scientists. The results suggest that males and females have no significant physiological differences in innovation and that the key is to find a gender balance in collaboration. Based on the theories of similarity-attraction and cognitive diversity, the reasons for the differences between female and male scientists may be team atmosphere and their roles in collaboration.

However, the impact of all articles is measured in a fixed window (2-5 years). Clustering their citation trajectories helps understand the knowledge diffusion process and reveals that not all articles gain immediate success after publication. Moreover, clustering trajectories is necessary for paper impact recommendation algorithms. It is a challenging problem because citation time series exhibit significant variability due to non-linear and non-stationary characteristics. Prior works propose a set of arbitrary thresholds and a fixed rule-based approach. All methods are primarily parameter-dependent. Consequently, it leads to inconsistencies while defining similar trajectories and ambiguities regarding their specific number. Most studies only capture extreme trajectories. Thus, a generalized clustering framework is required. This paper proposes a <em>feature-based multiple k-means cluster ensemble framework</em>. Multiple learners are trained for evaluating the credibility of class labels, unlike single clustering algorithms. 195,783 and 41,732 well-cited articles from the Microsoft Academic Graph data are considered for clustering short-term (10-year) and long-term (30-year) trajectories, respectively. It has linear run-time. Four distinct trajectories are obtained – <em>Early Rise-Rapid Decline (ER-RD)</em> (2.2%), <em>Early Rise-Slow Decline (ER-SD)</em> (45%), <em>Delayed Rise-Not yet Declined (DR-ND)</em> (53%), and <em>Delayed Rise-Slow Decline (DR-SD)</em> (0.8%). Individual trajectory differences for two different spans are studied. Most papers exhibit <em>ER-SD</em> and <em>DR-ND</em> patterns. The growth and decay times, cumulative citation distribution, and peak characteristics of individual trajectories' are re-defined empirically. A detailed comparative study reveals our proposed methodology can detect all distinct trajectory classes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informetrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139731857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These may include personal prestige, enhancing the appeal of a CV, the desire to increase publication-related rewards, meeting the conditions of scientific funds, or fulfilling qualification requirements. While these considerations deviate from the “pure science” perspective, the fact is that they are widely adopted. Our research demonstrates that the conventional division into journal quartiles may privilege certain disciplinary categories while disadvantaging others. Disciplinary categories in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and similar rankings are imbalanced in terms of the number of articles across different journal quartiles. This is attributable to three factors: the distribution of journals across quartiles, the varying volume of journals, and the selection of the highest quartile when journals are categorized under multiple disciplines. Narrower research areas, such as Topic Clusters from SciVal, may completely lack Q1 journals dedicated to them, or even any such journals at all. This finding might also interest publishers when selecting topics for launching new titles. The apparent inequality between disciplines unveiled in our study offers a new perspective to argue against the use of quartile metrics, at least in a straightforward manner, when evaluating performance and shaping science policies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informetrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1751157724000075/pdfft?md5=5fafe3bcb6e20fbbb05a743cdecbac42&pid=1-s2.0-S1751157724000075-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139654000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
