At last, the first systematic guide to the growing jungle of citation indices and other bibliometric indicators. Written with the aim of providing a complete and unbiased overview of all available statistical measures for scientific productivity, the core of this reference is an alphabetical dictionary of indices and other algorithms used to evaluate the importance and impact of researchers and their institutions. In 150 major articles, the authors describe all indices in strictly mathematical terms without passing judgement on their relative merit. From widely used measures, such as the journal impact factor or the h-index, to highly specialized indices, all indicators currently in use in the sciences and humanities are described, and their application explained. The introductory section and the appendix contain a wealth of valuable supporting information on data sources, tools and techniques for bibliometric and scientometric analysis - for individual researchers as well as their funders and publishers.

Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Applied natural sciences such as clinical virology, medical microbiology, genetic epidemiology, clinical epidemiology and biomedical engineering are of wide use in health care. Such a set of applied sciences is collectively termed as biomedical science. It is concerned with the development of new therapeutic strategies or advanced diagnostic tools for the treatment and management of diseases. Various genetic engineering, molecular, biochemical and imaging techniques are used to guide such research. Over the past century, there has been significant increase in the longevity of humans, owing to advancement in medical research. Biomedical research encompasses both basic and clinical research. Medical research has major benefits, such as insulin treatment for diabetes, vaccines for polio and measles, management of AIDS, improved surgical techniques like microsurgery, antibiotics for the treatment of different maladies and better successes with cancer. This book outlines the processes and applications of biomedical science in detail. The topics included in this book are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. As this field is emerging at a fast pace, this book will help the readers to better understand the concepts of biomedical science.
