Is the probability that all types of prizes will be together for the first time maximized when the majority of prizes are removed from the box? Simulations based on probability theory show that this probability reaches its maximum value in a surprisingly small number of trials, contrary to expectations. This will help us understand not only mathematical phenomena, but also real-world phenomena. Phenomena that do not occur without several substances or conditions seem unlikely to occur, but the results of this study suggest that, contrary to expectations, they are surprisingly likely to occur probabilistically.展开更多

Two academic papers have won the top Pushan-BOC Award prize for 2008. Yao Yang from Beijing University and Zhang Ye from Nanjing University have won the top prize for their paper ＂Study of the Domestic Technological Upgrading of China＇s Exported Products.＂ The other top prize winners are Wang Dehua from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Zhang Zaijin from the China Jianyin Investment Co. Ltd. and Professor Bai Chong-en from Tsinghua University for their collaborative paper ＂Size of Government, Rule of Law and the Development of the Services Sector.＂ The two papers represent the highest academic level of research by Chinese scholars in the field of world economics in recent years.展开更多

TO THE EDITORPeptic ulcer disease is a major health care concern in the society today, in view of personal suffering as well as economical health care costs.

We test the usefulness of the bibliometric framework through a case study of a key publication by the 2014 chemistry Nobel laureate Stefan W. Hell, who negated Ernst Abbe＇s diffraction limit theory, one of the most prominent paradigms in the natural sciences. Findings： The first-ranked candidate PR article identified by the bibliometric framework is in line with historical facts. An SB may need one or more PRs and even ＂retinues＂ to be ＂awakened.＂ Documents with potential awakening functionality tend to be published in prestigious multidisciplinary journals with higher impact and wider scope than the journals publishing SBs. Research limitations： The above framework is only applicable to transformative innovations, and the conclusions are drawn from the analysis of one typical SB and her awakening process. Therefore the generality of our work might be limited. Practical implications： Publications belonging to so-called transformative research, even when less frequently cited, should be given special attention as early as possible, because they may suddenly attract many citations after a period of sleep, as reflected in our case study.Originality/value： The definition of PR（s） as the first paper（s） that cited the SB article （self- citing excluded） has its limitations. Instead, the SB-PR co-citations should be given priority in current environment of scholarly communication. Since the ＂premature＂ or＂transformative＂ breakthroughs in the challenge-type SB documents are either beyond the current knowledge domain, or violate established paradigms, people＇s psychological distance from the SB is larger than that from the PR, which explains why the annual citations of the PR are usually higher than those of the SB, especially prior to or during the SB＇s citation boom period.展开更多
