La relevancia de la salud mental en la sociedad contemporánea la posiciona como una esfera crucial en los centros de atención sanitaria, debido a la alta incidencia de trastornos mentales, el sufrimiento que experimentan los pacientes y el uso de medicamentos psicofármacos. Los psicofármacos son un tipo de medicamentos que se usan en el tratamiento de enfermedades de salud mental y trastorno mental grave, se clasifican en cuatro grandes grupos: antidepresivos, ansiolíticos, estabilizadores del estado de ánimo, antipsicóticos. Por este motivo, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue realizar una revisión bibliográfica sobre la utilización de psicofármacos en la población, centrándose en estudios publicados en los últimos 5 años. La metodología empleada fue de tipo no experimental, bibliográfica y descriptiva, consistiendo en la recopilación y análisis de artículos científicos publicados en los últimos 5 años en diversas bases de datos como PubMed, Scielo, Dialnet y Google Scholar. Como resultados obtenidos: Los artículos detectados relacionados a uso de psicofármacos se distribuyen de la siguiente manera: el 40% se encuentran en la base de datos de PubMed, el 36% en Dialnet, el 12 % en Scielo y Google Scholar. Por otra parte, en el 40% de los artículos encontrados mencionan que el sexo más consumidor de psicofármacos es femenino. En el 84% de los artículos encontrados la población consumió antidepresivos, en el 44% ansiolíticos, en el 36% antipsicóticos y el 12% estabilizadores el ánimo, estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de continuar investigando y abordando el uso de psicofármacos, así como la necesidad de comprender mejor cómo estos afectan a diferentes poblaciones.

 

 

This study was conducted to determine EFL students’ skills in writing a thesis introduction. Five student dipilih berdasarkan level keterampilan menulis di mana kelima mahasiswa ini merupakan mahasiswa terbaik. The analysis method used is thematic progression. The student texts were analyzed for each paragraph, then counted how many sentences applied the Constant Theme Pattern, Linear Theme Pattern, Split Theme Pattern, and Derived Theme Pattern. The findings indicated that from the total 194 sentences being analysed, seventy-six employed this pattern to connect ideas. Another aspect of connecting ideas is the cohesive devices used. The higher application of definite articles, pronouns and word repetition is evident. Students majorly drew definite articles and demonstrative pronouns (e.g. this, that) which then makes it adaptable for readers to follow their idea development in a paragraph. Regarding the coherence, students in this study significantly relied on the theme of sentences to be the source of their idea development. Despite the clarity and coherence being well managed in students’ writing, the link between ideas can still be diversed by employing other patterns. Moreover, some rhemes contain new information that need further elaboration as the text grows. Students have applied the rules of thematic progression, although there are several sentences that do not comply with the principles of cohesion and coherence. Guidance and feedback from the lecturer is really needed so that writing skills are maintained, especially in writing the introduction to the thesis.

 

 

Citation networks have been thought to exhibit scale-free property for many years; however, this assertion has been doubted recently. In this paper, we conduct extensive experiments to resolve this controversial issue. We firstly demonstrate the scale-free property in scale-free networks sampled from the popular Barabasi-Albert (BA) model. To this end, we employ a merged rank distribution, which is divided into outliers, power-law segment, and non-power-law data, to characterize network degrees, and propose a random sample consensus (RANSAC)-based method to identify power-law segments from merged rank distributions, and use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test to examine the scale-free property in power-law segments. Subsequently, we apply the same methods to examine the scale-free property in real-world citation networks. Experimental results confirm the scale-free property in citation networks and attribute previous skepticism to the presence of outliers.

The study of scientometrics has increasingly become vital in mapping the trajectory of scientific progress and understanding the dynamics of academic research (Rivera et al., 2024). Scientometrics, the quantitative study of science, technology, and innovation, plays a crucial role in comprehending the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge (Xu et al., 2024). By analyzing publication patterns, citation networks, and research trends, scientometric studies provide essential insights into the dynamics of scientific progress and the impact of research on society (Cortés, 2023). This special issue of Clío América is dedicated to presenting a series of scientometric reviews that shed light on various aspects, including agricultural and environmental sustainability, organic coffee production, avocado cultivation, entrepreneurship, inclusive marketing, dynamic capabilities, e-leadership, and sustainable tourism. Despite its importance, scientometric research faces several challenges. Data accessibility and quality are often limited, making comprehensive analyses difficult (Chi & Glänzel, 2024; Cortés, 2023). The complexity of integrating data from multiple sources, such as Scopus and Web of Science, poses additional hurdles (Lin, Y et al., 2023). Moreover, the rapid growth of scientific literature necessitates advanced tools and methodologies to effectively analyze and interpret vast amounts of information (Bornmann & Lepori, 2024; Sourati & Evans, 2023).

 

 

Background: As an important platform for researchers to present their academic findings, medical journals have a close relationship between their evaluation orientation and the value orientation of their published research results. However, the differences between the academic impact and level of disruptive innovation of medical journals have not been examined by any study yet. Objective: This study aims to compare the relationships and differences between the academic impact, disruptive innovation levels, and peer review results of medical journals and published research papers. We also analyzed the similarities and differences in the impact evaluations, disruptive innovations, and peer reviews for different types of medical research papers and the underlying reasons. Methods: The general and internal medicine Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) journals in 2018 were chosen as the study object to explore the differences in the academic impact and level of disruptive innovation of medical journals based on the OpenCitations Index of PubMed open PMID-to-PMID citations (POCI) and H1Connect databases, respectively, and we compared them with the results of peer review. Results: First, the correlation coefficients of the Journal Disruption Index (JDI) with the Journal Cumulative Citation for 5 years (JCC5), Journal Impact Factor (JIF), and Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) were 0.677, 0.585, and 0.621, respectively. The correlation coefficient of the absolute disruption index (Dz) with the Cumulative Citation for 5 years (CC5) was 0.635. However, the average difference in the disruptive innovation and academic influence rankings of journals reached 20 places (about 17.5%). The average difference in the disruptive innovation and influence rankings of research papers reached about 2700 places (about 17.7%). The differences reflect the essential difference between the two evaluation systems. Second, the top 7 journals selected based on JDI, JCC5, JIF, and JCI were the same, and all of them were H-journals. Although 8 (8/15, 53%), 96 (96/150, 64%), and 880 (880/1500, 58.67%) of the top 0.1%, top 1%, and top 10% papers selected based on Dz and CC5, respectively, were the same. Third, research papers with the “changes clinical practice” tag showed only moderate innovation (4.96) and impact (241.67) levels but had high levels of peer-reviewed recognition (6.00) and attention (2.83).

 

 

Bibliometrics in the social sciences, humanities and arts (SSHA) are hampered by the limited presence of scholarly journals in analysis tools traditionally used. We analyzed the level of indexing of Canadian journal author affiliations in Dimensions.ai and OpenAlex to assess effects on bibliometric research. Annually, around 3,500 articles signed by Canadian researchers and published in Canadian journals remained irretrievable. Incomplete indexing particularly affects journals associated with not-for-profit publishers and those publishing in French. A fair representation of national SSHA research could enhance our understanding of publishing trends and contribute to the sustainability of the Canadian journals.

 

 

This study investigates the use of institutional repositories (IR) for self-archiving journal articles in the U15 universities as well as the presence of institutional policies and publisher embargos. While 45.1% to 56.6% of publications are available in open access (OA), only 0.5% to 10.7% are found in the IRs. We found only three university-wide OA policies, and embargo periods of 12 months or more for 25.6% of journal policies. This suggests that IR play a minor role in OA practices, and a need for more policies related to self-archiving and the use of IR specifically.

 

 

Responsible assessment promotes expert judgment and opposes sole reliance on research metrics when assessing research excellence. While many institutions and national research panels declare commitment to responsible assessment practices, we ask: have these declarations affected the outcomes of research evaluation? Using data from the UK’s 2021 national research quality exercise and focusing on the business and management discipline, we show that the strong association between journal rankings and expert evaluations has not changed, despite institutional endorsements of DORA (Declaration on Research Assessment). Additionally, we find that this correlation is strongest for the most prestigious journals. The implications of these findings are profound: they enhance understanding of the use of metrics in research evaluations post-DORA and highlight potential constraints in the deployment of responsible assessment.

 

 

Background and Aims: After conducting a comprehensive literature search of two medical electronic databases, PubMed and Embase, as well as two citation databases, Web of Science Core Collections (WoS) and Scopus, we aimed to conduct an Altmetric and Scientometric analysis of the History of Medicine literature in medical research. Methods: The following software tools were used for analyzing the retrieved records from PubMed and Embase databases and conducting a collaboration analysis to identify the countries involved in scientific medical papers, as well as clustering keywords to reveal the trend of History of Medicine research for the future. These software tools (VOSviewer 1.6.18 and Spss 16) allowed the researchers to visualize bibliometric networks, perform statistical analysis, and identify patterns and trends in the data. Results: Our analysis revealed 53,771 records from PubMed and 54,405 records from EMBASE databases retrieved in the field of History of Medicine by 105,286 contributed authors in WoS. We identified 157 countries that collaborated on scientific medical papers. By clustering 59,995 keywords, we were able to reveal the trend of History of Medicine research for the future. Our findings showed a positive association between traditional bibliometrics and social media metrics such as the Altmetric Attention Score in the History of Medicine literature (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Sharing research findings of articles in social scientific networks will increase the visibility of scientific works in History of Medicine research, which is one of the most important factors influencing the citation of articles. Additionally, our overview of the literature in the medical field allowed us to identify and examine gaps in the History of Medicine research.
