Referencing Made Easy: Reference Management Softwares

Reference management softwares are a powerful tool in the researchers’ armamentarium. They primarily help in re-sequencing, restyling and reformatting of the citation content in the research manuscripts. They also enable multi-user collaboration on research and allow the researcher to manage database searches and digital libraries. Using these softwares allows synchronization of cloud based digital libraries on multiple electronic devices enabling remote access, and also allows for management of online portfolios. We, herein, describe the basic principles, functions, and limitations of various reference management softwares.

A bibliometric analysis of liver disease research articles published by Chinese mainland authors in Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded / 临床肝胆病杂志

Objective To investigate the articles on liver diseases published by authors from China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan regions) in Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) in 2016-2020, to analyze the bibliographic and citation data of these articles, and to understand the contribution and impact of Chinese scholars in the field of liver disease research in recent years. Methods The data for bibliometric analysis came from the SCIE database and Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The SCIE database was searched for the journal articles published in JCR Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals in 2016-2020, with a title or abstract containing "Liver", "Hepatocellular", "Hepatitis", "Cirrhosis", or "Hepatic" and a publication type of Article. Clinical guidelines were excluded, and the records with the corresponding author's affiliation containing institutions in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan regions) were screened out. R package bibliometrix was used to calculate the frequency of citations of included articles by liver disease studies published by Chinese and global authors in the Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals in 2016-2020, and R package DescTools was used to perform the Cochran-Armitage trend test to observe the change in composition ratio. Results In the Q1 Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals in 2016-2020, liver disease studies published by Chinese authors accounted for 9.5%. In recent years, the proportion of liver disease studies published by Chinese authors in Q1 Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals continues to increase from 6.0% to 12.2% ( P < 0.001). Among the liver disease studies published by Chinese authors in Q1 Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals, 79.7% were funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China, and there was no significant change in the proportion of studies funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China and published by Chinese authors in each partition of Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals in 2016-2020. The frequency of citations of included articles by liver disease studies published by Chinese and global authors in the Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals showed that liver disease studies published by Chinese authors had a high impact in both domestic and international academic communities. Conclusion In recent years, there has been a constant increase in the number of liver disease studies published by Chinese authors in high-impact Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals indexed in SCIE, and most of these studies have been funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China. The liver disease studies published by Chinese authors in Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals have been widely recognized by domestic and international academic communities.

The contribution of the BIOTA/FAPESP Program to the advancement of the knowledge on terrestrial invertebrates / A contribuição do Programa BIOTA/FAPESP para o avanço no conhecimento sobre os invertebrados terrestres

Abstract The variability of the organisms living in a given area constitute what is referred to as biodiversity, one of nature's fundamental properties, responsible for the balance and stability of ecosystems. The loss of biodiversity has been of great concern to scientists, especially because of the role played by human activities in this regard, able to lead to irreversible circumstances. The São Paulo Research Foundation (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo, FAPESP) plays a major role in supporting research efforts in the most diverse branches of science. In the late 1990´s, FAPESP launched a major program to promote research on biodiversity, named BIOTA/FAPESP. So far, this program has financed the conduction of 26 projects, involving research activities in most of Brazil, while focusing mainly the State of São Paulo. These projects have generated about 1140 publications in peer-reviewed journals of high standard, providing relevant information, including the original description of 1187 species and 76 genera, the complementary description of 350 species, as well as a number of inventory works, biological studies, etc. The program has also been instrumental in the establishment or adequacy of research facilities and training of new taxonomists. Most extensively studied groups of terrestrial invertebrates include Insecta of the orders Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera and Diptera, and Arachnida of the subclasses Araneae and Acari. Distinct projects have also contributed to the detection of organisms potentially useful as biological control agents and in the determination of maps of major interest for the establishment of public policies. In the future, priority groups for study should include the Annelida and the Nematoda, for the potential both have as beneficial organisms, or for the potential some Nematoda have as organisms harmful to plants and animals.

Resumo A variabilidade dos organismos em uma determinada área constitui o que se denomina biodiversidade, uma das propriedades fundamentais da natureza, responsável pelo equilíbrio e estabilidade dos ecossistemas. A perda da biodiversidade tem sido uma grande preocupação para os cientistas, principalmente pelo papel desempenhado pelas atividades humanas, com potencial para desencadear circunstâncias irreversíveis. A Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) desempenha um papel importante no apoio às pesquisas nos mais diversos ramos da ciência. No final da década de 1990, a FAPESP lançou um grande programa de fomento à pesquisa em biodiversidade, denominado BIOTA/FAPESP. Até o momento, este programa financiou a realização de 26 projetos, envolvendo atividades na maior parte do Brasil, embora tenham como foco principal o estado de São Paulo. Esses projetos geraram cerca de 1.140 publicações em periódicos de alto impacto, fornecendo informações relevantes que incluem a descrição original de 1.187 espécies e 76 gêneros e a descrição complementar de 350 espécies, além de diversos trabalhos de inventário, estudos biológicos etc. O programa também tem sido fundamental para o estabelecimento ou adequação de instalações de pesquisa científica e o treinamento de novos taxonomistas. Os grupos de invertebrados terrestres mais estudados incluem os Insecta das ordens Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera e Diptera, e os Arachnida das subclasses Araneae e Acari. Projetos distintos também têm contribuído para a detecção de organismos potencialmente úteis como agentes de controle biológico e na determinação de mapas de áreas preferenciais para o estabelecimento de políticas públicas. No futuro, os grupos prioritários de estudo devem incluir os Annelida e os Nematoda, pelo potencial que ambos têm como organismos benéficos, ou pelo potencial que alguns Nematoda têm como organismos prejudiciais a plantas e animais.

Os periódicos médicos brasileiros referenciam artigos nacionais? Um estudo transversal / Do Brazilian medical journals reference Brazilian articles? A cross-sectional study

Resumo Contexto A produção científica brasileira cresce de forma quantitativa e qualitativa a cada década. Entretanto, há uma desvalorização dos periódicos brasileiros demonstrada através da baixa quantidade de citações em comparação a textos de revistas internacionais, com justificativa subentendida de que há superioridade qualitativa de artigos estrangeiros. Objetivos Verificar a diferença entre o número de citações de periódicos nacionais e internacionais em três revistas brasileiras no período de 2016 a 2020. Métodos Foram analisados todos os artigos publicados na Revista do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgiões, no Jornal Vascular Brasileiro e na Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira no intervalo de 2016 a 2020. Os estudos selecionados tiveram suas referências avaliadas, sendo contabilizado o número total de citações e se eram provenientes de periódicos brasileiros ou de periódicos estrangeiros. Resultados Foram analisados 902 artigos, totalizando 23.394 referências, com média de 25,81 ± 8,59 por artigo. Nesse contexto, 2.680 (11,45%) eram nacionais, correspondentes a uma média de 2,95 ± 3,79 referências brasileiras por artigo. Conclusões Faz-se necessária a maior valorização dos periódicos brasileiros, em especial por parte dos pesquisadores nacionais e das instituições responsáveis pelo fomento da ciência.

Abstract Background The quantity and quality of Brazilian scientific output increases decade by decade. However, there is a tendency to undervalue Brazilian journals, illustrated by the low number of citations compared with texts in international journals, with the tacit justification that foreign articles are of superior quality. Objectives To investigate the differences in numbers of citations of Brazilian and international periodicals in three Brazilian journals from 2016 to 2020. Methods All articles published in the Journal of the Brazilian College of Surgeons, in the Jornal Vascular Brasileiro, and in Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed. The references of these studies were analyzed, summing the total number of citations and classifying them as published in Brazilian or foreign journals. Results A total of 902 articles were analyzed, totaling 23,394 references, with a mean of 25.81 ± 8.59 references per article. Of these, 2,680 (11.45%) were Brazilian, equating to a mean of 2.95 ± 3.79 Brazilian references per article. Conclusions It is necessary to improve appreciation of Brazilian periodicals, especially among Brazilian researchers and institutions responsible for science funding.

Entrenamiento de los doctorandos para el dominio del gestor bibliográfico EndNote en un nivel avanzado / Training aspiring PhDs in the advanced use of the reference manager EndNote

La elaboración y la gestión de las referencias bibliográficas en el proceso de investigación es una tarea de alta importancia. Esta actividad continúa siendo una dificultad para muchos investigadores, a pesar del desarrollo informático vinculado a ella. El acceso y el uso de la información mediante Internet es una constante premisa en la investigación actual que requiere, con inmediatez para los investigadores, del avance de sus habilidades para la gestión bibliográfica, acorde con los nuevos adelantos técnicos. Los gestores bibliográficos son herramientas informáticas que ofrecen servicios automatizados para la organización bibliográfica, las cuales son conocidas a partir de otras publicaciones. Uno de los gestores más difundidos y utilizados es el EndNote, que se retomó nuevamente en esta investigación con una población de 23 doctorandos de la Universidad de las Ciencias Informáticas (UCI), con el objetivo de revelar los resultados obtenidos en la implementación de un entrenamiento de los doctorandos para el desarrollo de las habilidades de nivel avanzado. Como resultado se propusieron tres niveles de acciones para el dominio de esta herramienta que respondían al nivel de complejidad de las funcionalidades del software: básico, avanzado y experto. En el grupo de doctorandos del grupo UCI se evidencia un saber y un saber hacer en las acciones y operaciones del EndNote, superiores al diagnóstico inicial, que evidencia el desarrollo de un nivel básico a un nivel avanzado(AU)

Development and management of bibliographic references is a very important task in the research process. This activity continues to be a challenge for many researchers, despite the progress achieved in the field in terms of computer support. Access to and use of Internet-based information is a permanent premise in current research requiring immediacy in the enhancement of researchers' reference management skills, in keeping with recent technical advances. Reference managers are computer tools offering automated services for the bibliographic organization of references obtained from other publications. One of the most widely disseminated and commonly used managers is EndNote, which was revisited in the present study with a population of 23 aspiring PhDs from the Information Sciences University (UCI), with the purpose of revealing the results obtained by the implementation of a training program for the development of advanced skills intended for aspiring PhDs. As a result, three levels of actions aimed at the command of this tool were proposed: basic, advanced and expert, reflecting the degree of complexity exhibited by the functions performed by the software. The aspiring PhDs in the UCI group showed better knowledge and know-how about EndNote actions and operations than in their initial diagnosis. This was evidence of their progress from a basic to an advanced level(AU)

Survey study on the classification methods of TCM ancient books / 国际中医中药杂志

The surveys of the number of TCM ancient books, the bibliography classification methods, the bibliography publication, the bibliography network sharing and access, the evaluation of the classification method of subject bibliography on TCM ancient books and the relevant opinions and suggestions were sent to 30 TCM libraries and 24 comprehensive libraries in China. The questionnaires’ data and responses were analyzed, in order to understand the classification methods of TCM ancient books, the use situation, and the needs in the classification and cataloging work. The results showed that compared with the comprehensive libraries, the collection of TCM ancient books were concentrated in TCM libraries, the classification methods for TCM libraries were seldomly reported, and the classification methods were mainly self-compiled. Thus, the uniformity of the classification methods was poor, and there was also a significant gap in the standardization of the bibliography arrangement in TCM libraries. The result recommended that the domestic library industry urgently needed a unified and standardized classification for TCM ancient books. It was significant for promoting the sharing and exchange of TCM ancient books, promoting the standardization process of TCM information, and promoting the efficient implementation of Zhonghua Yizang compilation project.

En el año 2006 se inició en Cuba un proyecto dedicado a acelerar la formación doctoral en el campo de las Ciencias de la Información. El Programa Doctoral en Documentación e Información Científica, desarrollado por la Universidad de Granada, España, y la Universidad de La Habana, graduó durante diez años un total de 50 doctores cubanos y dos de países latinoamericanos. El proyecto perseguía la actualización y el fortalecimiento de la actividad investigativa en el país y el aumento de la publicación de artículos en revistas científicas de amplia visibilidad internacional. El presente artículo tuvo como objetivo determinar, desde un enfoque bibliométrico, la importancia que ha tenido este programa doctoral en los niveles de productividad científica nacional y en el posicionamiento del país a nivel regional y mundial en el campo de la Bibliotecología y las Ciencias de la Información. Se demostró la mejora del posicionamiento del país en las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus. Se identificó la proporción de estudios derivados del programa doctoral en el volumen total de la producción científica cubana sobre la especialidad generada durante el período 2006-2019. Un tercio de la producción científica nacional en ambas bases de datos fue generada por graduados de los tres grupos que conformaron el programa. De esta forma, Cuba ha podido ubicarse sostenidamente durante los últimos años entre los primeros 50 países del mundo y entre los cinco primeros países de Latinoamérica en la especialidad(AU)

The year 2006 saw the onset of a project aimed at speeding up information sciences doctoral training in Cuba. The Scientific Information and Documentation Doctoral Program, developed by the University of Granada, Spain, and the University of Havana, graduated a total 50 Cuban and two Latin American PhDs in ten years. The project was geared to updating and strengthening research activity in the country, as well as increasing the publication of papers in scientific journals of broad international visibility. The purpose of the present study was to determine with a bibliometric approach the impact of this doctoral program on national scientific productivity levels and the country's regional and worldwide ranking in the field of library and information sciences. The country's ranking was found to have improved in the databases Web of Science and Scopus. Identification was made of the proportion of studies stemming from the doctoral program with respect to the total volume of Cuban scientific production about the specialty in the period 2006-2019. One third of the national scientific production in both databases was generated by graduates from the three groups making up the program. Cuba has thus been able to occupy in recent years a sustained position among the first 50 countries worldwide and the first five Latin American countries in the specialty(AU)

Primeros atlas anatómicos utilizados en la formación de médicos en Chile / First anatomical atlas used in the training of physicians in Chile

RESUMEN: En Chile, los primeros médicos se formaron en la Universidad Real de San Felipe y el Instituto Nacional, entre 1758 y 1833. Sus maestros Domingo Nevín, Manuel Chaparro y Pedro Morán, usaron y recomendaron los pocos libros existentes. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar estos libros con ilustraciones anatómicas que se utilizaron durante este período y en las que los primeros estudiantes de medicina encontraron una guía visual para la comprensión de la anatomía humana y la práctica de la disección. Para este estudio, se analizaron los trabajos de Lorenz Heister (1755), Martin Martínez (1764), Friedrich Tiedemann (1822a,b) y François Chaussier (1823). Para estos autores, se desarrolló una síntesis con datos biográficos relevantes. Para los libros se realizó un análisis bibliográfico, cuantitativo y descriptivo-cualitativo. Las imágenes también se analizaron según las clasificaciones de Gómez (2005), Choulant (1852) y Kemp (1990). En cuanto a los autores de los textos, eran médicos, cirujanos, anatomistas y / o legistas médicos, de origen alemán, español o francés. Los textos están escritos en español, francés, alemán y/o latín. Presentan imágenes con diferentes niveles de detalle, en blanco y negro o en color. Toda la bibliografía anatómica utilizada durante el período de estudio es de origen europeo, transfiriéndose a través de sus páginas, una realidad centrada en la Europa de los siglos XVIII y XIX. Esta visión sesgada del conocimiento se ha mantenido hasta ahora, donde la enseñanza de la anatomía humana todavía se basa en textos de origen extranjero. El estudio profundo de las características de la formación de médicos en Chile es esencial para comprender el nacimiento de la identidad profesional, que ha sido de gran influencia en las ciencias de la salud y en la historia político-social de Chile.

SUMMARY: In Chile, the first doctors were trained at the Universidad Real de San Felipe and the National Institute, between 1758 and 1833, where docents Domingo Nevín, Manuel Chaparro and Pedro Morán, used and recommended the few existing books. The objective of this work was to analyze these books with anatomical illustrations that were used during this period and in which, the first medical students found a visual guide for the understanding of human anatomy and the practice of dissection. For this study, the works of Lorenz Heister (1755), Martin Martínez (1764), Friedrich Tiedemann (1822) and François Chaussier (1823) were analyzed. A synthesis with relevant biographical data was developed for these authors, and for the books a bibliographic, quantitative and descriptive-qualitative analysis was performed. The images were also analyzed according to the classifications of Gomez (2005), Choulant (1852) and Kemp (1990). Regarding the authors of the texts, they were doctors, surgeons, anatomists and / or medical legists, of German, Spanish or French origin. The texts are written in Spanish, French, German and / or Latin. They present images with different levels of detail, in black and white or in color. All the anatomical bibliography used during the period under study is of European origin, transferring through its pages, a reality centered on 18th and 19th century Europe. This biased view of knowledge has been maintained until the present, where the teaching of human anatomy is still based on texts of foreign origin. A profound study of the training characteristics of doctors in Chile, is essential to understand the beginning of a professional identity, which has been important influence in health sciences and the political - social history of Chile.

As adoções necessárias no contexto brasileiro: características, desafios e visibilidade / The necessary adoptions in the Brazilian context: characteristics, challenges and visibility / Las adopciones necesarias en el contexto brasileño: características, desafíos y visibilidad

As adoções necessárias envolvem casos de crianças com mais de dois anos, com irmãos, com deficiência, adoecimento crônico ou inter-racial. Este estudo teve por objetivo apresentar uma revisão integrativa acerca das adoções necessárias e de como esse tema vem sendo investigado e discutido. A partir de buscas nas bases/bibliotecas LILACS, SciELO, PePSIC e PsycINFO (2009-2018), foram recuperados 35 estudos. A escassa produção internacional pode estar relacionada ao fato de que as adoções necessárias são uma categoria própria da realidade brasileira. A maior parte dos estudos priorizou como necessárias as adoções de crianças maiores de dois anos, com poucos estudos sobre crianças com deficiência, com quadro de adoecimento e com irmãos. Recomenda-se uma maior investigação em relação às adoções inter-raciais, bem como maior conscientização dos pretendentes quanto ao perfil das crianças para adoção nas instituições de acolhimento, o que deve ser acompanhado por maior visibilidade do tema no campo científico. (AU)

The necessary adoptions encompass cases of children over two years of age, with siblings, disabilities, chronic or interracial illness. This study aimed to present an integrative review of the necessary adoptions and how this topic has been investigated and discussed. From a search in the databases LILACS, SciELO, PePSIC and PsycINFO (2019-2018), 35 studies were retrieved. The scarce international production may be related to the fact that the necessary adoptions are a category in the Brazilian reality. Most of the studies prioritised as necessary the adoption of children children over two years of age, with few studies on children with disabilities, sickness and siblings. Further research on interracial adoptions is recommended, as well as greater awareness of the candidates to adopt regarding the profile of children for adoption in host institutions, which should be accompanied by greater visibility of the topic in the scientific field. (AU)

Las adopciones necesarias abarcan casos de niños de más de dos años, con hermanos, con discapacidad, enfermedad crónica o interracial. Este estudio tuvo por objetivo presentar una revisión integradora acerca de las adopciones necesarias y de cómo ese tema viene siendo investigado y discutido. A partir de una búsqueda en las bases LILACS, SciELO, PePSIC y PsycINFO (2009-2018), se recuperaron 35 estudios. La escasa producción internacional puede estar relacionada a que las adopciones necesarias son una categoría propia de la realidad brasileña. La mayoría de los estudios priorizaron como necesarias las adopciones de niños mayores de dos años, con pocos estudios sobre niños con discapacidad, con cuadro de enfermedad y con hermanos. Se recomienda una mayor investigación acerca de las adopciones interraciales, así como una mayor concientización de los candidatos a adoptar en cuanto al perfil de los niños para adopción en las instituciones de acogida, lo que debe ser acompañado por una mayor visibilidad del tema en el campo científico.

Open Access Publishing in India: Coverage, Relevance, and Future Perspectives

Open access (OA) publishing is a recent phenomenon in scientific publishing, enabling free access to knowledge worldwide. In the Indian context, OA to science has been facilitated by government-funded repositories of student and doctoral theses, and many Indian society journals are published with platinum OA. The proportion of OA publications from India is significant in a global context, and Indian journals are increasingly available on OA repositories such as Pubmed Central, and Directory of Open Access Journals. However, OA in India faces numerous challenges, including low-quality or predatory OA journals, and the paucity of funds to afford gold OA publication charges. There is a need to increase awareness amongst Indian academics regarding publication practices, including OA, and its potential benefits, and utilize this modality of publication whenever feasible, as in publicly-funded research, or when platinum OA is available, while avoiding falling prey to poor quality OA journals.

Comprehensive Approach to Open Access Publishing: Platforms and Tools

The Open Access Initiative is gaining momentum due to the worldwide availability of advanced digital tools, online publishing platforms, and systems for tracking academic contributions. Several declarations and initiatives, including Plan S, have already laid a foundation for moving away from subscription to full and immediate open-access publishing. The global initiatives imply targeting journals satisfying the upgraded quality and visibility criteria. To meet these criteria, a comprehensive approach to Open Access is recommended. This article overviews the essential components of the comprehensive approach, increasing transparency, adherence to ethical standards, and diversification of evaluation metrics. With the increasing volume of quality open-access journals, their indexing with free databases and search engines is becoming increasingly important. The Directory of Open Access Journals and PubMed Central currently free searches of open-access sources. These services, however, cannot fully satisfy the increasing demands of the users, and attempts are underway to upgrade the indexing and archiving of open-access sources in China, Japan, Korea, Russia, and elsewhere. The wide use of identifiers is essential for transparency of scholarly communications. Peer reviewers are now offered credits from Publons. These credits are transferrable to their Open Researcher and Contributor iDs. Various social media channels are increasingly used by scholars to comment on articles. All these comments are tracked by related metric systems, such as Altmetrics. Combined with traditional citation evaluations, the alternative metrics can help timely identify and promote publications influencing education, research, and practice.

Educação infantil e formação docente: análise das ementas e bibliografias de disciplinas dos cursos de educação física / Early childhood education and teachers' training: analysis os syllabi and bibliographies of courses in physical education schools / Educación infantil y formación docente: análisis de los contenidos y bibliografías de disciplinas de los cursos de educación física

O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar as ementas e bibliografias de disciplinas relacionadas a Educação Infantil nos cursos de formação inicial em Educação Física, identificando os pontos de convergência e de divergência que elas estabelecem com os documentos norteadores dessa primeira etapa da Educação Básica no Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, realizada com 16 ementas e suas respectivas bibliografias (267) de 14 cursos de Educação Física de universidades públicas do país. Os dados foram sistematizados pelo software Iramuteq. Constata-se que a concepções de infância e de organização do trabalho pedagógico presentes nas ementas e bibliografias divergem dos pressupostos preconizados pelas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação Infantil e pela Base Nacional Curricular Comum. Nos documentos analisados predomina uma visão biologicista/universal de desenvolvimento infantil, amparada por autores da Psicologia do Desenvolvimento e do Comportamento Motor

This study looks into syllabi and bibliographies courses related to Early Childhood Education in the initial training courses in Physical Education, identifying their points of convergence and divergence with guiding documents of that first stage of Elementary Education in Brazil. It is a documentary study conducted on 16 syllabi and their respective bibliographies (267) of 14 Physical Education Schools of public universities. Data were systematized by the Iramuteq software. Conceptions of childhood and organization of pedagogical work present in the analyzed syllabi and bibliographies differ from the assumptions recommended by the National Curriculum Guidelines for Early Childhood Education and by the National Curricular Common Base. A biologic/universal vision of child development prevails in the documents analyzed, based on Developmental Psychology and Motor Behavior authors
