1 Assessing the impact of software on science through bootstrapped learning in full texts Erjia Yan Metadata Mondays February 1, 2016

2 Research areas Research instruments My research | 2 network-basedtext-based Data were analyzed using SPSS 15.0 software package. Left patterns: analyze use <>, be analyze use <>, datum be analyze use <>; Right pattern: <> software package; Middle pattern: use <> software.

3 Scholarly data | 3 bibliographic datafull texts

4 Why full texts? –richer contents –more fine-grained analyses –variety means of analyses –use in conjecture with bibliographic data –increased accessibility Full texts | 4 free, OA possibly free for academic use http://www.nature.com/news/elsevier-opens-its-papers-to-text-mining-1.14659

5 Today’s agenda Agenda | 5 Motivation Bootstrapping Future work Application Software impact

6 | 6 Motivation Bootstrapping Future work Application Software impact

7 Motivation Publications have been long seen as the end research outputs. This notion has become more transient in recent years as digital outputs such as software and data can be the end products in many contemporary scientific inquiries. Motivations | 7 http://0823.se/http://www.cmswire.com/http://tech53.com/ publicationssoftwaredata ?

8 Needs assessment –initiate impact evaluation for digital outputs, i.e., software and data, to expand the scientific reward system; –develop tools that can identify and characterize software reference contexts in large and heterogeneous full-text datasets; and –design hybrid metrics to systematically capture the impact of software in a variety of scholarly communication channels. Needs assessment | 8

9 Objectives We intend to examine: –the method to extract software entities from full-text corpora; –the popularity of pieces of software in science; –software use and citation impact; and –disciplinary characteristics of software use and citation practices Objectives | 9

10 | 10 Motivation Bootstrapping Future work Application Software impact

11 Methods Bootstrapping: recursively, using seed terms to learn the context and then using the context to learn more terms and these terms become new seeds terms. Methods | 11 requires much less hand-labeled data (i.e., training data) than supervised machine learning methods contexts of the terms to be extracted need to be distinguishable, i.e., terms of interest and other terms should pertain to different contexts

12 Flow chart | 12

13 FeatureScore ~ f( UppercaseLetter, VersionNumber, LeftTrigger, RightTrigger ) –find these features within next or previous 5 words –a positive trigger word list (six in total; i.e., package, program, software, tool, toolbox, and toolkit) –a negative trigger word list (51 in total; e.g., microscope, scanner, and spectrometer) PatternScore ~ f( #PositiveEntities, #NegativeEntities, FeatureScore ) –PositiveEntities and NegativeEntities calculated based on EntityScore EntityScore ~ f( FeatureScore, PatternScore ) Scoring | 13

16 Performance PLoS ONE in 2014: 9,571 full-text papers, 523,974 sentences and 11,633,395 words Performance | 16 customization is vital to ensure performance our system outperformed others primarily because the adopted four features: UppercaseLetter, VersionNumber, LeftTrigger, and RightTrigger

21 Mentions vs. citations Mentions vs, citations | 21

22 Popularity of software | 22 7,637 articles (79.79%) mentioned software 2,342 unique software entities with 25,997 mentions and 7,405 citations top 20% most frequently mentioned software entities attracted more than 80% of mentions 40% of software entities did not receive any citation and almost 50% received less than three citations (obliteration by incorporation?) Free software received more citations than commercial software

23 Proportions of papers that used software Proportion | 23

24 Mentions and citations | 24 high mention and high citation ratio: Agriculture, Biology, Ecology and environmental sciences, and Computer and information sciences high mention and low citation ratio: Chemistry and Research and analysis methods; low mention and high citation ratio: Physics and Earth sciences; and low mention and low citation ratio: Medicine and health sciences, Engineering, Mathematics, and Social sciences.

29 –software altmetrics: number of mentions in social media, number of downloads, etc. –full-spectrum software impact metrics in both formal and informal scholarly communication channels –attribution and scientific rewards: different roles that software developers fulfill Future work: Software impact | 29

30 Data impact –design case studies to examine their provenance (e.g., w/DOI, w/URI, institutional archives, journal- specific archives, and private archives) –cross-reference with citation data from Data Citation Index by Thomson Reuters –triangulate data impact by using usage, mention, and citation statistics –involve time as another dimension to conduct trend analyses and predictions Future work: Data impact | 30
