adventures in semantic publishing exemplar semantic enhancements of a Research Article
PLOS Computational Biology, 2009Co-Authors: David M Shotton, Katie Portwin, Graham Klyne, Alistair MilesAbstract:Scientific innovation depends on finding, integrating, and re-using the products of previous Research. Here we explore how recent developments in Web technology, particularly those related to the publication of data and metadata, might assist that process by providing semantic enhancements to journal Articles within the mainstream process of scholarly journal publishing. We exemplify this by describing semantic enhancements we have made to a recent biomedical Research Article taken from PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, providing enrichment to its content and increased access to datasets within it. These semantic enhancements include provision of live DOIs and hyperlinks; semantic markup of textual terms, with links to relevant third-party information resources; interactive figures; a re-orderable reference list; a document summary containing a study summary, a tag cloud, and a citation analysis; and two novel types of semantic enrichment: the first, a Supporting Claims Tooltip to permit “Citations in Context”, and the second, Tag Trees that bring together semantically related terms. In addition, we have published downloadable spreadsheets containing data from within tables and figures, have enriched these with provenance information, and have demonstrated various types of data fusion (mashups) with results from other Research Articles and with Google Maps. We have also published machine-readable RDF metadata both about the Article and about the references it cites, for which we developed a Citation Typing Ontology, CiTO (http://purl.org/net/cito/). The enhanced Article, which is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000228.x001, presents a compelling existence proof of the possibilities of semantic publication. We hope the showcase of examples and ideas it contains, described in this paper, will excite the imaginations of Researchers and publishers, stimulating them to explore the possibilities of semantic publishing for their own Research Articles, and thereby break down present barriers to the discovery and re-use of information within traditional modes of scholarly communication.

A lexical and syntactic study of Research Article titles in Library Science and Scientometrics
Scientometrics, 2021Co-Authors: Junli DiaoAbstract:Title of a Research Article is an abstract of the abstract. Titles play a decisive role in convincing readers at first sight whether Articles are worth reading or not. Not only do Research Article titles show how carefully words are chosen by authors, but also reflect disciplinary differences in terms of title words and structure between hard sciences and soft sciences. This study examined the lexical density and syntactic structure of 690 Research Article titles chosen from five Library Science and Scientometrics journals, aiming to reveal disciplinary differences. The result suggested both Library Science and Scientometrics have almost the same title length and the prevalent usage of Nominal Phrase (NP) to govern the title structure. The result also stated some disciplinary differences: Library Science demonstrates more punctuation complexity, particularly a greater frequency in using colons; but Scientometrics shows more involvement of words related to Research methods, which is an indicator to papers’ scientific value, and more usage of declarative Full Sentence (FS) structure, which were mostly discovered in the Research Articles in hard sciences.

the overall aim of this work is functional analysis of grammatical subject in Research Article introductions across four disciplines
Discourse and Interaction, 2017Co-Authors: Seyed Foad EbrahimiAbstract:This study investigates the types and discourse functions of grammatical subjects in Research Article introductions across four disciplines, namely: Applied Linguistics and Psychology, representing soft sciences, and Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, representing hard sciences. This study was carried out on a corpus of 40 Research Article introductions (10 from each discipline). The Research Article introductions were sourced from twelve ISI journals published from 2008 to 2012. The corpus was analysed based on the modified model in relation to grammatical subject types and discourse functions suggested by Ebrahimi (2014). The results revealed that the grammatical subject type selections were guided by the nature of the Research Article introduction. However, the frequency of use of the grammatical subject types was constrained by the nature of the discipline. Discourse functions of grammatical subject types were predominantly determined by the divisions of the hard and soft sciences, and the specific disciplines within and the internal structure of the Research Article introductions. In addition, the results of this study manifest a new framework for the analysis of discourse functions of grammatical subject types in Research Article introductions.

Research Article abstracts in applied linguistics and economics functional analysis of the grammatical subject
Australian Journal of Linguistics, 2015Co-Authors: Seyed Foad Ebrahimi, Swee Heng ChanAbstract:The aims of this paper are to analyse and compare the discourse functions of grammatical subjects used in Research Article abstracts in the disciplines of Applied Linguistics and Economics. The data for this study consisted of 60 Research Article abstracts published in 2010 and 2011 in the journals of Applied Linguistics and Oxford Economic Papers. The corpus was analysed using the classification of discourse functions of grammatical subjects established by Gosden. The analysis revealed disciplinary differences concerning the discourse functions enacted by the application of the grammatical subject. These findings add to the claim that academic writing (Research Article abstract writing in this study) is shaped by the writer's disciplinary background with particular reference to the use of the grammatical subject as a theme in text development.
