(International Council for Scientific and Technical Information) Annual Conference 2010 will take place for the first time in Helsinki, Finland, on June 10 and 11, 2010. From Information to Innovation has been chosen as the main theme of the conference and will highlight the significance of information as the enabler and catalyst for scientific, technical and business developments and point to to elements of success in building the future. There are three inspiring sub-themes: Information as the lifeblood of research and innovation - Finnish cases Intelligent information solutions and services Creating the future - towards the global innovation economy

a model for innovative organization

Science is of significant importance to our society, but we understand very little of the processes that lead to scientific innovation. In this presentation I will provide an overview of our work on large-scale usage data as an early indicator of scientif

Open Science Summit, which took place in July at Berkeley, is a good example of how "digital scholarship", "e-science" and "open science" and "scholarly communications" are terms from the same vocabulary we are creating to talk about the changes in academia, knowledge transfer, innovation, etc.

Elsevier [is announcing the] launch of Article-Based Publishing -- a new publishing model that publishes articles as final and citable without needing to wait until a journal issue is complete. With an increasing focus on online publishing, there is a growing need for innovative publication models geared towards individual articles instead of the print-based issue model. Article-Based Publishing is the assigning of final citation data on an article-by-article basis, decoupled from the compilation of the journal issue itself.

Review of innovators in 21st century's 1st decade

Acyclic digraphs arise in many natural and artificial processes. Among the broader set, dynamic citation networks represent a substantively important form of acyclic digraphs. For example, the study of such networks includes the spread of ideas through academic citations, the spread of innovation through patent citations, and the development of precedent in common law systems. The specific dynamics that produce such acyclic digraphs not only differentiate them from other classes of graphs, but also provide guidance for meaningful distance measures for these networks. We apply our sink based distance measure and the single-linkage hierarchical clustering algorithm to the first quarter century of decisions of the United States Supreme Court. Despite applying the simplest distance measure and a straight forward clustering algorithm, qualitative analysis reveals that accurate clusterings are produced by this scheme.
