| Abstract: | We revisit the analysis of Costanza et al. (2004, Ecological Economics) of influential publications in ecological economics to discover what has changed a decade on. We examine which sources have been influential on the field of ecological economics in the past decade, which articles in the journal Ecological Economics have had the most influence on the field and on the rest of science, and on which areas of science the journal is having the most influence. We find that the field has matured over this period, with articles published in the journal having a greater influence than before, an increase in citation links to environmental studies journals and a reduction in citation links to mainstream economics journals, and possibly a shift in themes to a more applied and empirical direction. |

| Abstract: | The purpose of this Opinion article is to discuss some ideas that might lead to papers that are suitable for publication in the Journal of Informatics and Data Mining. The suggestions include the analysis of citations databases, PI-BETA (Papers Ignored – By Even The Authors), model specification and testing, pre-test bias and data mining, international rankings of academic journals based on citations, international rankings of academic institutions based on citations and other factors, and case studies in numerous disciplines in the sciences and social sciences. |
| Keywords: | Citations databases, Model specification and testing; Pre-test bias; International rankings of journals and institutions; Case studies. |

| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to discuss some ideas that might encourage research in Informatics and Data Mining, which includes “Big Data”. This area includes alternative methods, techniques and algorithms for complex and large data sets in computer science, data measurement, acquisition, capturing, processing, sharing, monitoring, storage, transferring, and retrieval, data analysis, and data mining. Suggestions include the analysis of citations databases, PI-BETA (Papers Ignored – By Even The Authors), model specification and testing, pre-test bias and data mining, international rankings of academic journals based on citations, international rankings of academic institutions based on citations and other factors, and case studies in a number of disciplines in the sciences and social sciences. |
