Supporting students to better support themselves through reverse mentoring: the power of positive staff/student relationships and authentic conversations in the law school

The impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on student wellbeing and mental health should not be understated. Interventions seeking to improve cultures in law schools to challenge stigmas surrounding support access are consequently vital. This paper draws on an innovative staff/student reverse mentoring scheme within a Russell Group university where law school staff were mentored by international undergraduate law students. It explores the use of reverse mentoring as a tool to develop self-awareness and positive identity formation in law students through authentic and reciprocal relationships with staff, facilitating empowered approaches to support which are anticipatory, as opposed to existing in crisis management mode. To demonstrate this, the stages of self-authorship theory are used to thematically organise interview data collected from student mentors. The paper also explores specific areas of student support (employability and personal tutoring) where the impact of reverse mentoring and its self-authorship generating capacity may be particularly useful. This paper argues that reverse mentoring in the law school and beyond provides a positive opportunity for students to adopt more self-authored and authentic approaches to their support needs, identifying a novel intersection between diversity and inclusion initiatives and the practical accessing of support as a law student.

COVID-19 associated coagulopathy: A bibliometric investigation.

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 initiates an immune-hemostatic response. While both systems are intimately connected and necessary for an efficient immune response to contain the infection, excessive coagulation activation might exceed the valuable benefits by causing thrombotic consequences and excessive inflammation. This biological response is new to clinicians and researchers, and accordingly, tremendous studies have been conducted on coagulopathy and its relationship to COVID-19 disease during this pandemic. Therefore, it takes a research insight from a bibliometric perspective to determine research hotspots and trends of COVID-19 associated coagulopathy (C19-CA). The analysis relies on the Scopus database for bibliographic content and Visualization of Similarities viewer software to map bibliometric data of C19-CA. Our study finds the most eminent authors, journals, institutions, funding organizations, and countries that publish in the C19-CA. Additionally; this research employs bibliometric analysis of co-authorship, co-citations, bibliographic coupling, and co-occurrence of keywords. A total of 2242 studies were retrieved, and the number of annual publications of C19-CA showed remarkable growth. The top-publishing authors on C19-CA are Smadja, D.M., Diehl, J.L., and Gendron, N (France). The total number of articles published in English in these three years was 1241, with the original article accounting for 99.8% and conference papers accounting for 0.2%. Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China) is the top-productive institution, with the US being the top-publishing country. Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis received the highest number of original articles. The research results were mainly published in the fields of Medicine, Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, Immunology and Microbiology. Yuanyuan Li, who is (China), is the top-collaborating author. China and its authors have the highest number of citations. Keywords' co-occurrence analyses of the authors and all keywords revealed the following themes in C19-CA; abnormal coagulation parameters, pulmonary coagulopathy, venous and arterial thrombotic disorders, distinct features of coagulopathy, inflammation, and thrombosis in COVID-19, and anticoagulants and thrombolytic therapies. By combining bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer software, we identified C19-CA's leaders, collaborating institutions, and research hotspots, as well as give references for future research paths.

Gender equity of authorship in pulmonary medicine over the past decade.

BACKGROUND: Gender disparity in authorship broadly persists in medical literature, little is known about female authorship within pulmonary medicine. METHODS: A bibliometric analysis of publications from 2012 to 2021 in 12 journals with the highest impact in pulmonary medicine was conducted. Only original research and review articles were included. Names of the first and last authors were extracted and their genders were identified using the Gender-API web. Female authorship was described by overall distribution and distribution by country/region/continent and journal. We compared the article citations by gender combinations, evaluated the trend in female authorship, and forecasted when parity for first and last authorship would be reached. We also conducted a systematic review of female authorship in clinical medicine. RESULTS: 14,875 articles were included, and the overall percentage of female first authors was higher than last authors (37.0% vs 22.2%, p<0.001). Asia had the lowest percentage of female first (27.6%) and last (15.2%) authors. The percentages of female first and last authors increased slightly over time, except for a rapid increase in the COVID-19 pandemic periods. Parity was predicted in 2046 for the first authors and 2059 for the last authors. Articles with male authors were cited more than articles with female authors. However, male-male collaborations significantly decreased, whereas female-female collaborations significantly increased. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the slow improvement in female authorship over the past decade, there is still a substantial gender disparity in female first and last authorship in high-impact medical journals in pulmonary medicine.

Digital Classics

Today we find a large audience for Classical Studies online: from podcasts and Twitter feeds to informal reading groups and virtual performance of plays, there is an appetite for information on the ancient world that is often filled by professionals and semi-professionals who move between spheres of conventional training and the enthusiasts' realm (e.g., Reddit). There are still important steps to be made in the curation of texts, the collection of images and archaeological artifacts, the construction of classroom space, the exploration of performance, and the creation of virtual environments. A good example of this is the Ancient Lives project, which followed earlier institutional initiatives like the Advanced Papyrological Information System (APIS) to transcribe and edit papyri.9 It creates a massive and searchable database on the foundation of distributed authorship and distributed institutional cost for storage and bandwidth. Mapping and the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data have been at the forefront of providing new frameworks

Phantom Sounds, Haunting Images

Powerful, imaginative, and long-lasting, the half-year mobilisation and its iconography are hard to forget, and the ongoing political crackdown keeps our memory alive with constant republications of photographs and video clips of the events. Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the proclamation of the National Security Law (NSL) on 30 June 2020, protests have, however, almost disappeared from Hong Kong's public spaces. [...]many films, books, and artworks have vanished from screening venues, shops, and libraries. Soon after the end of the movement, two anonymous books documented these ephemeral displays challenging authorities and urban order (Abaddon 2020;Guardian of Hong Kong 2020). [...]in October 2021, the Film Censorship Ordinance was amended to align with the NSL (Ho 2021b).

Thematic evolution of coronavirus disease: a longitudinal co-word analysis

PurposeUsing science mapping analysis approach and co-word analysis, the present study explores and visualizes research fields and thematic evolution of the coronavirus. Based on this method, one can get a picture of the real content of the themes in the mentioned thematic area and identify the main minor and emerging themes.Design/methodology/approachThis study was conducted based on co-word science mapping analysis under a longitudinal study (from 1988 to 2020). The collection of documents in this study was further divided into three subperiods: 1988–1998, 1999–2009 and 2010–2020. In order to perform science mapping analysis based on co-word bibliographic networks, SciMAT was utilized as a bibliometric tool. Moreover, WoS, PubMed and Scopus bibliographic databases were used to download all records.FindingsIn this study, strategic diagrams were demonstrated for the coronavirus research for a chronological period to assess the most relevant themes. Each diagram depended on the sum of documents linked to each research topic. In the first period (1988–1998), the most centralizations were on virology and evaluation of coronavirus structure and its structural and nonstructural proteins. In the second period (1999–2009), with due attention to high population density in eastern Asia and the increasing number of people affected with the new generation of coronavirus (named severe acute respiratory syndrome virus or SARS virus), publications have been concentrated on "antiviral activity.” In the third period (2010–2020), there was a tendency to investigate clinical syndromes, and most of the publications and citations were about hot topics like "severe acute respiratory syndrome,” "coronavirus” and "respiratory tract disease.” Scientometric analysis of the field of coronavirus can be regarded as a roadmap for future research and policymaking in this important area.Originality/valueThe originality of this research can be considered in two ways. First, the strategic diagrams of coronavirus are drawn in four thematic areas including motor cluster, basic and transversal cluster, highly developed cluster and emerging and declining cluster. Second, COVID-19 is mentioned as a hot topic of research.

Implementing ReSPECT during the pandemic – our experience and lessons learnt

IntroductionReSPECT was implemented in The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust and across the wider Wolverhampton health economy on 1st September 2021. This was the culmination of a year's planning and preparations during the first and second waves of the COVID pandemic.MethodsA ReSPECT implementation group was established across the organisation in September 2020 which focused on areas including writing a revised resuscitation policy, agreement for and design of one-off mandatory modules for awareness and authorship training and development of a trust wide communications campaign. Amendments to the policy have allowed expansion of authorship to selected groups of non-medical staff including senior specialist nurses and ACPs with appropriate expertise.The group liaised with partners to ensure a successful city-wide launch including primary care and hospice colleagues. An organisation wide roll out was supported by ward ‘ReSPECT Champions' in each area.Results and Lessons Since LaunchMandatory training modules for ReSPECT authorship and awareness training were developed for approximately 7000 clinically facing staff with a target of 75% training compliance prior to launch. Training compliance was monitored weekly in preparation for launch and then subsequently, monitored monthly once target compliance was achieved. Over the last year ReSPECT has become embedded within the organisation and across the city. This has included a change in culture from the previously used DNACPR forms. Developments following launch include an addition to e-discharge document to include whether a ReSPECT form is in place and from this a monthly quantitative audit has begun across inpatient areas. Collaborative working has continued across the city to enable clear communication regarding ReSPECT and shared resources e.g., Top tips newsletters. Future ongoing work focusses on improving the quality of ReSPECT forms and education surrounding the ongoing review of ReSPECT forms during acute admissions and at significant milestones in a patient's condition.

Emerging trends in telecollaboration and virtual exchange: a bibliometric study

As physical mobility finds itself impeded by the COVID-19 crisis, the world witnesses the potential of technology for connecting students who are physically distanced inside and cross-borders. In such scenarios, telecollaboration and virtual exchange have gained increased attention as powerful pedagogical strategies to allow for the continuity of intercultural exchanges and understanding the trends of this growing field can be of high significance to practitioners when planning future related initiatives. Although telecollaboration and virtual exchange are not new phenomena, to the best of our knowledge, a thorough bibliometric study of the area, considering the characteristics of its publications and its scientific community, has not yet been developed. This study carried out a bibliometric analysis of the telecollaboration and virtual exchange research field using a set of 254 articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases with the objective of characterising the area as well as identifying research tendencies. In particular, this study uses four analytical scientometric tools: co-citation, co-authorship, keywords co-occurrence analysis and identification of research trends. This study identified emerging and declining themes in the field of telecollaboration and virtual exchange, confirming that the practice is increasingly adopting diverse formats and cutting across different knowledge fields. In addition, results showed that international collaboration so far involves few countries and there is much space to widen co-authorship networks to enhance intercultural exchanges. The review also explores the benefits and drawbacks of the technological tools adopted in the studies from our sample database.

Equity for women in science: the role of gatekeepers

Sugimoto and Larivière's unique scientometric approach gained recognition within medicine when they coauthored a bibliometric analysis on gender and authorship in The Lancet's 2019 theme issue on advancing women in science, medicine, and global health. [...]despite women being more than half of all medical and science undergraduates for many years, Sugimoto and Larivière estimate that very slow growth in women's representation among scientists in clinical medicine means gender parity in authorship will not be reached in that field before 2049. By contrast, women science leaders typically advance early career researchers, share credit, and lead gender diverse teams, which have higher scientific impact. An acknowledged limitation is the use of one aspect of social identity, gender, in the binary assignment available in current classification systems and they were unable in most cases to include race or ethnicity indicators except where national census data allowed. The simple recognition of the editorial process being a social one—involving judgement, priority setting, negotiation, inevitable bias, and all the other aspects that define human behaviour—gives rise to seeing how decisions about what to publish and which messages to showcase are the product of a social process in which diverse sets of individuals applying high standards of editorial quality and scientific excellence nevertheless deploy agency, make choices, and exercise privilege.

A Case of Pandemic Narrative and the End of Post-Cold War

The topical book Wuhan Diary, authored by the Chinese writer Fang Fang during the COVID-19 lockdown of Wuhan, is not so much a diary as a "becoming-diary,” given its performative practices. Wuhan Diary's emphasis on the individual or private nature of its writing activity is attributable to its characteristic realistic conception of authenticity, which resulted historically from the humanist trend within Chinese literature in the 1980s as a significant element of post-socialist realism. Insofar as Wuhan Diary claims an overarching authorship that does not cohere with—or is, indeed, utterly subverted by—its textual complexities, it can be interpreted as a dual allegory of neoliberalism. In 2020, when the established pattern of globalization was in crisis and the post-Cold War state of affairs seemed unprecedentedly unstable, the post-socialist realism implicit in Wuhan Diary proved ineffective in representing the epidemic, as well as in justifying, by its (mis)representation, the conditions that have contributed to the general crisis.

COVID-19-Related Publications by Hospitalists in the United States.

Objective To determine the degree to which hospitalists published academic manuscripts related to COVID-19 during the first year of the pandemic. Patients and methods The study was a cross-sectional analysis of the author's specialty, defined by byline or professional online biography, from articles related to COVID-19 published between March 1, 2020, and February 28, 2021. It included the top four internal medicine journals by impact factor: New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine, and Annals of Internal Medicine. Participants were all United States (US)-based physician authors contributing to COVID-19 publications. Our primary outcome was the percentage of US-based physician authors of COVID-19 articles who were hospitalists. Subgroup analyses characterized author specialty by authorship position (first, middle, last) and article type (research vs. non-research). Results Between March 1, 2020, and February 28, 2021, the top four US-based medical journals published 870 articles related to COVID-19 of which 712 articles with 1940 US-based physician authors were included. Hospitalists accounted for 4.2% (82) of authorship positions including 4.7% (49/1038) of authorship positions in research articles and 3.7% (33/902) of authorship positions in non-research articles. First, middle, and last authorship positions were held by hospitalists at 3.7% (18/485), 4.4% (45/1034), and 4.5% (19/421) of the time, respectively. Conclusions Despite caring for a large number of patients with COVID-19, hospitalists were rarely involved in disseminating COVID-19 knowledge. Limited authorship by hospitalists could constrain the dissemination of inpatient medicine knowledge, impact patient outcomes, and affect the academic promotion of early-career hospitalists.

Gender Inequalities in Publications about COVID-19 in Spain: Authorship and Sex-Disaggregated Data.

Gender inequalities in biomedical literature have been widely reported in authorship as well as the scarcity of results that are stratified by sex in the studies. We conducted a bibliometric review of articles on COVID-19 published in the main Spanish medical journals between April 2020 and May 2021. The purpose of this study was to analyse differences in authorship order and composition by sex and their evolution over time, as well as the frequency of sex-disaggregated empirical results and its relationship with the author sex in articles on COVID-19 in the main Spanish biomedical journals. We identified 914 articles and 4921 authors, 57.5% men and 42.5% women. Women accounted for 36.7% of first authors and for 33.7% of last authors. Monthly variation in authorship over the course of the pandemic indicates that women were always less likely to publish as first authors. Only 1.0% of the articles broke down empirical results by sex. Disaggregation of results by sex was significantly more frequent when women were first authors and when women were the majority in the authorship. It is important to make gender inequalities visible in scientific dissemination and to promote gender-sensitive research, which can help to reduce gender bias in clinical studies as well as to design public policies for post-pandemic recovery that are more gender-equitable.

Venture capital financing during crises: A bibliometric review

We present the publication trends in the literature on venture capital financing during crises and highlight the top publishing source with the most contributing authors in their affiliated countries using bibliometric and content analysis of 115 documents retrieved from the Scopus database. This study provides insight into the theme with the help of co-occurrence, co-citation, and bibliographic coupling analysis. The authors' keyword co-occurrence analysis shows the spatial links among the articles based on venture capital during the financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The top productive and influential source is the journal Venture Capital, followed by Small Business Economics and the Journal of Business Venturing. The Journal of Business Venturing is the top journal in terms of citations per document. The United States is the most contributing affiliated country having strong links with several nations. The publications on crisis-led venture capital increased significantly after the financial crisis of 2008.

Bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited dental articles on COVID-19

According to our analysis, the majority of the published articles are of low level of evidence. Citation analysis is a bibliometric analysis method of evaluating the impact of an article in a particular field.2 The bibliometric analysis combines science with statistical and mathematical methods to provide reliable and objective information for analyzing the quality of scientific research and investigates future directions of research that can help to create specific public healthcare plans.3 Bibliometric methods have been widely used in the field of dentistry.2,4 However, to date, a study of the top-cited dental articles on COVID-19 has not been published. [...]the aim of this study was to identify the bibliometric characteristics of the top 100 most cited (T100) dental articles on COVID-19 and to discover popular trends for future studies. Letters, editorials, commentaries, technical notes, opinions, news, or perspectives were excluded from this research. [...]519 articles were obtained, and by using the option "Times Cited" in the WoS, the results were ranked in descending order based on their citation counts. Bibliometric analysis The following bibliometric parameters from WoSCC of each article were extracted: publication title, publication date, journal title, authorship, institution (as defined by the corresponding author), type of institution (public health service, university, private practice), country of the origin of the study (as defined by the corresponding author), funding status (funded or not funded), journal quartile (Q) and impact factor (IF) (from the current Clarivate journal citation reports 2019), WoSCC citation count, language, and author keywords.2 Each full text of an article was further reviewed for the study design and level of evidence (LOE) as described by Jacimovic et al.5 An internal pilot study was carried out to calibrate researchers in assessing LOE.

Women Authorship Trends in the Highest-Impact Anesthesiology Journals from 2005 to 2021.

Background: Although women and men have matriculated into medical schools in similar proportions since the 1980s, recent data indicate that anesthesiology is lagging in gender equity, especially in academic leadership roles.1,2 As promotion in academic medicine is strongly influenced by publications, understanding whether a lack of women authorship is contributing to this gender gap is crucial.3,4 This article aims to assess how woman authorship trends have changed in the last 16 years, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: The five highest impact journals in anesthesia were identified as Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, British Journal of Anaesthesia, Anesthesiology, PAIN, and Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine. Number of total authors, including women, men, and unknown gender authors as well as incidence of woman first and/or last author, was documented from articles published in 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2021. Results: This analysis shows that women are gaining representation in anesthesia publications. Overall, there was a statistically significant increase in the total number of women authors and women first and last authorship. However, as of 2021, women still only represented ∼40% of total and first authors and ∼24% of last authors. In addition, increase in first/last woman authorship was not present in all journals when stratified. Conclusion: These journal differences may suggest the editorial evaluation process as a potential source of gender bias. There was a statistically significant relationship between women senior authors and articles with 50% or more women authors, indicating that woman mentorship is contributing to closing equity gap. These data present a starting point for further investigations into gender disparities within anesthesia to continue the forward progression for women in academic medicine.

Contract Cheat Detection using Biometric Keystroke Dynamics

Contract cheating has become a profound issue in academics with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic as digitised evaluation has become common practice. This evaluation method opens up for examining students remotely, either by online home exams or longer written assessments done away from the classroom. Contract cheating refers to a problem where the students hire a third party to complete their assignment and submit it for grading as their own. Manually dealing with contract cheating is a cumbersome task and tools for plagiarism detection are not able to detect contract cheaters as students do not use the work of other authors without consent. In this paper, a machine learning based system is designed to specifically detect the cases of contract cheating in academics. The system uses keystroke biometric behaviour where typing style is analysed to discriminate cheaters from genuine students. The experiments are conducted on two datasets where one is existing and another is designed by performing data collection in a university for recording the keystroke features. Two categories of keystroke dynamics, namely duration and latency-based features are studied for designing the various machine learning-based systems for investigating the efficient one. Furthermore, the performance of the systems are evaluated under the setting of zero false accusations in order to avoid genuine students being charged as imposters. © 2022 IEEE.

Following Negationists on Twitter and Telegram: Application of NCD to the Analysis of Multiplatform Misinformation Dynamics

In this paper we present an analysis of misinformation cross-platform dynamics by focusing on communications published by COVID19 negationists on Twitter and Telegram. Previous research shows the need for better explanations of the way misinformation travels across platforms. Here we pay attention to communities of users vulnerable to negationism, which refers to the tendency to revise history in order to omit something that actually happened. We start from searching specific key words previously identified by experts and used by negationists in Telegram channels. We retain only those public Telegram channels where those keywords are used. Then, we search on Twitter for those users who reference those Telegram channels. This way we obtain a list of potential Twitter negationist accounts and correct for false positives. We use the normalised compression distance (NCD) technique to reduce this error, while performing authorship attribution. We extract images and news domains shared by Twitter negationist accounts identified with NCD and by Telegram accounts initially identified;then we perform a reverse image search to identify other Twitter accounts that have used those images. We search in Telegram where those news domains appear and extract those Telegram channels and compare them with the original channels identified. The procedure is semi-automatic to ensure human supervision as required by The Assessment List on Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (ALTAI). As discussed in the end, results are promising and motivate further research about the use of NCD to automate the identification of accounts spreading misinformation. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
