Citation frequency is augmented by self-citation and for most journals the majority of citations originate from a minority of papers. We hypothesized that citation frequency is also associated with the geographical origin of the research publication. Objective. We determined whether citations originate more frequently from institutes that are located in the same country as the authors of the cited publication than would be expected by chance. Design. We screened citations referring to 1200 cardiovascular publications in the 7 years following their publication. For the 1200 citation recipient publications we documented the country where the research originated (9 countries/regions) and the total number of received citations. For a selection of 8864 citation donor papers we registered the country/region where the citing paper originated. Results.

It is only lately, however, that researchers in information technology and knowledge management have begun to explore the idea of social capital in relation to their fields. This collection of thirteen essays by computer scientists, sociologists, communication specialists, economists, and others presents a multidisciplinary look at this particular intersection of information technology and social science and the need to adopt a sociotechnical perspective. For the most part the contributors take a positive view of the interplay of social capital, knowledge sharing, and community building. Some essays look at specific instances, including the on-line and face-to-face relationships of a community of athletes, the building of social capital among Iranian NGOs, and the Internet-based communities created by the open-source movement, while others discuss more general ideas of civic and personal communities. The last four essays examine computer applications that augment social capital, including topic- and member-centered communications spaces such as the Expert Finder and the Loops system and virtual repositories of knowledge such as the Answer Garden and Pearls of Wisdom.

The role of information as knowledge capital means that there is a danger of inappropriate commercialisation of information, which can militate against the optimal social use of this resource. Similarly, low levels of information literacy can exclude the individual from full membership of the information society. Information professionals are in a prime position to address these problems, since the information mediator can both act against inappropriate commercialisation of information and offset the social disadvantages of information illiteracy. If the information professional does not rise to the challenge of leadership within the new information order, society becomes {"}information-saturated and simultaneously ignorant{"}.Tue Nov 20 18:08:41 CET 2007IWICconf/iwic/2007291-305Lecture Notes in Computer ScienceBayesian Belief Network Approach for Analysis of Intercultural Collaboration in Virtual Communities Using Social Capital Theory.456820072007 analysis bayesian capital collaborate collaboration collaborative communities community conferences cross-cultural crosscultural cultural full-text fulltext groups intercultural internet internet-based multiculti network networking networks online pancultural proceedings sharing social social-capital socialcapital socialnetworking socialnetworks teams teamwork theories theory virtual web web-based Tue Nov 20 18:04:13 CET 2007Penguins, Camels, and Other Birds of a Feather2005KOL KOLs authority broker brokering building collaborate collaboration collaborations collaborative communities community community-building contributing contributions creating culture emergence emerging expertise impact influence innovate innovating innovations innovative integrate integrating integration integrity interact leaders leadership negotiate negotiationg network-building networking networks open organizational participate relational relationship-building relationships roles significance social-capital socialize societies society status trust trust-building What types of human and social capital identify the emergence of leaders of open innovation communities? Consistent with the norms of an engineering culture, we find that future leaders must first make strong technical contributions. Beyond technical contributions, they must then integrate their voluntary communities in order to avoid the ever present danger of forking and balkanization. This is enabled by two correlated but distinct social positions: brokerage, and boundary spanning between technological modules. An inherent lack of trust associated with brokerage positions can be overcome through physical interaction or contributions within technological boundaries. Successful leaders are thus the product of strong technical contribution and a structural position that can bind the community together.Tue Nov 20 17:58:20 CET 2007HICSSconf/hicss/2005Theorizing, Measuring, and Predicting Knowledge Sharing Behavior in Organizations - A Social Capital Approach.2005capital conferences full-text fulltext knowledge knowledge-sharing metrics organizations predicting prediction predictions predictive proceedings quantification quantify sharing social social-capital socialcapital theories theory Tue Nov 20 17:53:16 CET 2007Social Networks, Social Capital, and the Use of Information and Communications. 20052005 UK capital communication communications communities community excluded fringes information knowledge low low-status networks outcast outsider social socially socially-excluded society status studies study tech technology Tue Nov 20 17:42:22 CET 2007J UCS http://www.jucs.org/jucs_10_3/etiquette_empathy_and_trust3294-302Etiquette, Empathy and Trust in Communities of Practice (CoP): Stepping Stones to Social Capital.102004CoP CoPs articles capital communities empathy etiquette full-text fulltext practice social social-capital socialcapital socialization sociocultural trust Tue Nov 20 17:41:36 CET 2007Special Theme Papers from Special Editorial Board Members (Contains Regular Papers)Interacting with ComputersJanuary121--46Awareness and Teamwork in Computer-Supported Collaborations 182006articles awareness collaborating collaborations collaborative computer computer-based computer-supported computerized networking networks o!folio relational relationships teams teamwork work working A contemporary approach to describing and theorizing about joint human endeavor is to posit `knowledge in common' as a basis for awareness and coordination. Recent analysis has identified weaknesses in this approach even as it is typically employed in relatively simple task contexts. We suggest that in realistically complex circumstances, people share activities and not merely concepts. We describe a framework for understanding joint endeavor in terms of four facets of activity awareness: common ground, communities of practice, social capital, and human development. We illustrate the sort of analysis we favor with a scenario from emergency management, and consider implications and future directions for system design and empirical methods.Tue Nov 20 17:36:10 CET 2007CHI Extended Abstractsconf/chi/2003ahttp://doi.acm.org/10.1145/765891.765950 . isbn 1-58113-637-4 . http://dblp.uni-trier.de/db/conf/chi/chi2003a.html#MillenP03 720-721Identity Disclosure and the Creation of Social Capital2003capital conferences disclosure full-text fulltext identity o!folio proceedings social social-capital socialcapital Tue Nov 20 17:31:44 CET 2007Hypertextconf/ht/2006111-114Harvesting social knowledge from folksonomies.2006conferences folksonomies folksonomy full-text fulltext harvesting knowledge mining o!folio proceedings social sociological sociology Tue Nov 20 17:29:12 CET 2007ISTR Fourth International Conference, DublinJulyTwo Concepts of Social Capital: Bourdieu vs. Putnam2000bordieu capital conferences full-text fulltext proceedings putnam social social-capital socialcapital versus Tue Nov 20 17:28:17 CET 2007Inf Res http://informationr.net/ir/10-1/paper201.html1Choosing People: The Role of Social Capital in Information-Seeking Behavior 102004alliances articles authority capital full-text fulltext impact influence information information-seeking power roles seeking social-capital socialcapital teams trust Tue Nov 20 17:23:29 CET 2007HICSSconf/hicss/200743The Strength of Virtuality in Teams: Social Capital Built on Weak Ties.2007capital conferences full-text fulltext proceedings social social-capital socialcapital teams ties weak weak-ties weakties Tue Nov 20 17:22:09 CET 2007ICDMconf/icdm/2006959-964Social Capital in Friendship-Event Networks.2006capital friendship full-text fulltext networks social social-capital socialcapital socialnetworking socialnetworks Tue Nov 20 17:21:20 CET 2007iTrustconf/itrust/200619-32Lecture Notes in Computer ScienceBeing Trusted in a Social Network: Trust as Relational Capital.39862006full-text fulltext networking networks o!folio relational relations social social-capital socialcapital socialnetworking socialnetworks trust Tue Nov 20 17:12:20 CET 2007KES (2)conf/kes/2006-2417-424Lecture Notes in Computer ScienceSocial Capital in Online Social Networks.42522006articles capital conferences dblp fulltext internet networking networks online openaccess proceedings social social-capital social-networking social-networks socialcapital socialnetworking socialnetworks web Tue Nov 20 12:29:41 CET 2007American Scientist http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/13860/01/American_Scientist_article.pdfOpen Access and the Progress of Science2007biomedical biomedicine free literature medical medicine o!folio openaccess openarchive publication research science scientific self-archiving
