explanations of this law have been published (Cohen 1976 ; Gauvrit and Delahaye 2008 ). In this reports we present the first application of Benford's law to scientometric data. We selected for this study a sample of published research articles

current scenario, the reputation and status of a journal is directly linked to the number of citations of articles published in that journal rather than the quality of articles published or uniqueness of articles published. There are number of procedures
Abstract
This paper evaluates the importance of jointly conducted research versus national, when neighbouring countries are trying to study a topic of their mutual interest. The chosen topic was the shared ocean or lake basin. The number of non-mutual and mutual articles in the period 1999–2008 for seven pairs of neighbouring countries was analysed by extracting published articles and citations from the Web of Science database. It was found that mutual articles have generally better visibility than the non-mutual articles, valid even for large and developed countries. Also, the percentage of self-citations in the mutual articles is much lower than in the non-mutual ones. However, the citations of the non-mutual articles are influenced by the development of the country or, in some cases, by the development of the countries in which researchers from a certain country are presently working (this applies strongly to the Eastern Europe countries).
Translating research articles is common practice, although relatively little data exists on the problems in this type of translation. This study examines the translation of textual metadiscourse in academic writing, using the example of translating Slovene research articles into English. The main part of the analysis examines textual metadiscourse in 30 geography articles in Slovene and their translations into English. In addition, the same investigation is conducted in a corpus of 30 English-original geography articles. The translation strategies are analysed at two levels. At the first level, the overall strategy is analysed: the metadiscourse items are compared in the originals and the translations and instances of matching expressions, omissions, and insertions are identified. At the second level, the corresponding expressions are compared and changes made in the translation are noted. The overall results are then compared to those of the comparable target language subcorpus. The results show that not all metadiscourse items found in the original texts are translated, while, at the same time, a significant number of items are inserted in the translation. For those metadiscourse items which are translated, literal translation is chosen in over half of the cases. The results for the comparable target language corpus reveal that metadiscourse is used more frequently in English originals than in translations from Slovene.
Summary
We assessed the contribution of Brazilian limnologists (freshwater ecologists) in international journals in the period 1970-2004. Brazilian contribution was low and regular in the 1970's, but increased steeply after 1980 with no signs of stabilization until the present. Articles authored by Brazilians tend to be less cited than articles authored by non-Brazilians, although this difference is reduced in co-authored articles with international researchers. Brazilian articles are not distributed homogenously among the sub-areas of Limnology, but present some biases that can be explained by intellectual legacy. Brazil has invested since the 1970's in establishing postgraduate courses in Brazil and in the last years has turned the focus to a better qualification of these courses. We believe these are the main reasons for the conspicuous development of Brazilian Limnology.
Abstract
The aim of this article is to demonstrate on the scientific field "economics" the search for fundamental articles.Co-word analysis and co-citation analysis enable to visualize the structure of a scientific field on the maps of science. Then we can find the fundamental themes on the maps. After finding the articles belonging to these fundamental themes we can discuss the fundamentality of the formers, too.
Abstract
There is a rapid growth of cancer literature. Thousands of papers are being regularly published every year not only in speciality journals, but also in journals of other disciplines. Citation studies are nowadays considered a major basis of science indicators for ascertaining the importance of a scientific journal and that of the published articles on a particular subject. In oncological research the journalCancer is considered as one of the top most journals and is universally well known for its high standard and excellence. In this paper an attempt has been made to find out the importance of all the articles published in it for a particular year. Side by side bibliometric analysis was made to ascertain various other aspects like time lag between publication and first citation of articles, average citation time, subject scattering and identification of most important journals in the field etc. It is believed that this study would be of help to the working oncologists, librarians and information scientists to assess the importance of articles published in a top ranking journal of cancer and also that of different journals publishing oncological research results.
order to have a better understanding and to evaluate the types of Arctic research historically and to see current trends, a detailed analysis of Arctic related articles appearing in the core journals published between 1900 and 2010 was made. The data
