    Abstract

    Networks are pervasive in the real world. Nature, society, economy, and
    technology are supported by ostensibly different networks that in fact share an
    amazing number of interesting structural properties.

  2. The skewness of computer science.

    Abstract

    Computer science is a relatively young discipline combining science,
    engineering, and mathematics. The main flavors of computer science research
    involve the theoretical development of conceptual models for the different
    aspects of computing and the more applicative building of software artifacts
    and assessment of their properties. In the computer science publication
    culture, conferences are an important vehicle to quickly move ideas, and
    journals often publish deeper versions of papers already presented at
    conferences.

  3. The first Italian research assessment exercise: a bibliometric perspective.

    Authors: Massimo Franceschet, Antonio Costantini
    Subjects: Computers and Society
    Abstract

    In December 2003, seventeen years after the first UK research assessment
    exercise, Italy started up its first-ever national research evaluation, with
    the aim to evaluate, using the peer review method, the excellence of the
    national research production. The evaluation involved 20 disciplinary areas,
    102 research structures, 18,500 research products and 6,661 peer reviewers
    (1,465 from abroad); it had a direct cost of 3.55 millions Euros and a time
    length spanning over 18 months.
