The publishing industry is a vast system whose elements form a metaphorical ecosystem with knowledge flowing through connections between heterogeneous elements. In this paper we seek a more robust understanding of different types of literature, and whether and how they support one another in the diffusion of knowledge. We analyze a corpus comprising professional electronic media in US dentistry and its relation to the peer reviewed journal literature. Our corpus includes full text from magazines, news sites and blogs that provide information to clinicians. We find links to research are made through several mechanisms: articles describing new clinical guidelines, referencing, summaries of recently published journal articles and crossover authoring. There is little to no apparent time lag in the diffusion of information from research literature to professional media.
出版行业是一个庞大的系统，其各个元素构成了一个隐喻性的生态系统，知识在不同元素之间的联系中流动。在本文中，我们试图更深入地理解不同类型的文献，以及它们在知识传播中是否相互支持以及如何相互支持。我们分析了一个包含美国牙科专业电子媒体及其与同行评审期刊文献关系的语料库。我们的语料库包括来自为临床医生提供信息的杂志、新闻网站和博客的全文。我们发现研究与专业媒体之间的联系是通过多种机制建立的：描述新临床指南的文章、参考文献、近期发表期刊文章的摘要以及交叉撰写。从研究文献到专业媒体的信息传播几乎没有明显的时间滞后。
