Tempest in a teacup: An analysis of p-Hacking in organizational research.

We extend questionable research practices (QRPs) research by conducting a robust, large-scale analysis of p-hacking in organizational research. We leverage a manually curated database of more than 1,000,000 correlation coefficients and sample sizes, with which we calculate exact p-values. We test for the prevalence and magnitude of p-hacking across the complete database as well as various subsets of the database according to common bivariate relation types in the organizational literature (e.g., attitudes-behaviors). Results from two analytical approaches (i.e., z-curve, critical bin comparisons) were consistent in both direction and significance in nine of 18 datasets. Critical bin comparisons indicated p-hacking in 12 of 18 subsets, three of which reached statistical significance. Z-curve analyses indicated p-hacking in 11 of 18 subsets, two of which reached statistical significance. Generally, results indicated that p-hacking is detectable but small in magnitude. We also tested for three predictors of p-hacking: Publication year, journal prestige, and authorship team size. Across two analytic approaches, we observed a relatively consistent positive relation between p-hacking and journal prestige, and no relationship between p-hacking and authorship team size. Results were mixed regarding the temporal trends (i.e., evidence for p-hacking over time). In sum, the present study of p-hacking in organizational research indicates that the prevalence of p-hacking is smaller and less concerning than earlier research has suggested.

Evaluation of gender trends in first authorship in nephrology publications in four major US journals in the last decade.

To date, no data exist on gender-relatedpublication biases in nephrology.This study was conducted to determine whether gender differences exist in the current literaturepublished in high-ranking US nephrology journals, and how they may have changed over time. The PubMed search was performed using the easyPubMed package in R, which extracted all articles indexed in PubMed from 2011 to 2021 from theUS nephrology journals with the highest impact factors, i.e., Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN), American Journal of Nephrology (AJN), American Journal of Kidney diseases (AJKD), and the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN). Gender with predictions > 90% were accepted and the remaining were manually identified. Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out on the data. We identified 11,608 articles. On average, the ratio of male to female first authors decreased from 1.9 to 1.5 (p < 0.05). Additionally, in 2011, women accounted for 32% of first authors, a number that rose to 40% in 2021. All but the American Journal of Nephrology showed a variation in the ratio of men to women first authors. For the JASN, the ratio changed from 1.81 to 1.58, p = 0.001, for CJASN, the ratio declined from 1.91 to 1.15, p = 0.005 and forAJKD, the ratio declined from 2.19 to 1.19, p = 0.002. Our studyshows that gender biases in publications continue to exist in first-author publications inhigh-ranking Nephrologyjournals published in the US; the gap ishowever closing. We hope this study lays the groundwork to continue following and evaluating gender trends in publication.

The Danish-American Research Exchange (DARE): a cross-sectional study of a binational research education program

BackgroundMost medical educational programs emphasize clinical observation or clinical skill acquisition, fewer focus upon research. The Danish-American Research Exchange (DARE) program, sponsored by the Lundbeck Foundation, is unique in that the medical student initiates biomedical research collaboration between Danish and US medical institutions. To achieve this, Danish medical students (DARE students) conduct binational mentored research projects while based in the United States for 10 months. In addition, DARE students are introduced to interdisciplinary thinking about how to develop ultra-low-cost healthcare interventions through the ‘$10 Challenge’.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of DARE alumni over five consecutive years (2015–2020, n = 24). Research metrics included completion of a research project, primary authorship, and co-authorship of publications. The number of publications, prior to and after the DARE program were enumerated. For the first four cohorts, graduation from medical school and acceptance or intention to enter a joint MD-PhD program also were assessed. Two focus groups were conducted using constructivist grounded theory. Discussions were transcribed, redacted, and coded using Dedoose software.ResultsDARE Medical students were 31.2 years (range 24–35), the majority were women (67%;16/24). The majority (17/24;71%) completed a first author publication in a peer-reviewed journal with a median of 3.9 per DARE alumnus. DARE alumnus reported increased proficiency in biostatistics, epidemiology, coding and public speaking as well as stronger research qualities in creativity, critical thinking, comfort in approaching scientist in both the US and Denmark (p < 0.001 for all). Qualitative key themes included: increased confidence, a deepening of research inquiry and linkage to a research network.ConclusionsPreliminarily, this study suggests that medical students can initiate binational collaboration in medicine. Benefits include research productivity, intention to pursue academic medical careers, as well as positive impacts on motivation. This medical student-initiated research model lays the groundwork for using this model across other country pairs to promote binational collaboration.

The Issue of Gender Bias Represented in Authorship in the Fields of Exercise and Rehabilitation: A 5-Year Research in Indexed Journals.

Despite progress made in recent decades, gender bias is still present in scientific publication authorship. The underrepresentation of women and overrepresentation of men has already been reported in the medical fields but little is known in the fields of exercise sciences and rehabilitation. This study examines trends in authorship by gender in this field in the last 5 years. All randomized controlled trials published in indexed journals from April 2017 to March 2022 through the widely inclusive Medline dataset using the MeSH term "exercise therapy" were collected, and the gender of the first and last authors was identified through names, pronouns and photographs. Year of publication, country of affiliation of the first author, and ranking of the journal were also collected. A chi-squared test for trends and logistic regression models were performed to analyze the odds of a woman being a first or last author. The analysis was performed on a total of 5259 articles. Overall, 47% had a woman as the first author and 33% had a woman as the last author, with a similar trend over five years. The trend in women's authorship varied by geographical area, with the higher representation of women authors in Oceania (first: 53.1%; last: 38.8%), North-Central America (first: 45.3%; last: 37.2%), and Europe (first: 47.2%; last: 33.3%). The logistic regression models (p < 0.001) indicated that women have lower odds of being authors in prominent authorship positions in higher-ranked journals. In conclusion, over the last five years, in the field of exercise and rehabilitation research, women and men are almost equally represented as first authors, in contrast with other medical areas. However, gender bias, unfavoring women, still exists, especially in the last authorship position, regardless of geographical area and journal ranking.

Is There Gender Disparity in Orthopedic Surgery Resident Research Productivity?

Background: Compared with male senior authors, female senior authors publish less often in orthopedic journals than expected based on their population proportion. It is unknown whether this trend is also present among orthopedic trainees. Purpose: We sought to determine whether there is a gender discrepancy in the publication volume and authorship status among orthopedic residents. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis to evaluate the research productivity of male and female orthopedic residents. The top 10 ranked US orthopedic surgery residencies by research output in 2021-2022 were obtained from Doximity. Residents' names were recorded from each institution's residency website. We classified each resident as male or female, searched on PubMed, and recorded the number of publications relevant to orthopedic surgery. Resident contribution to each publication was recorded as either a first/last author or a middle author. To assess contributions by postgraduate year, we compared male and female junior residents (PGY1-3) and senior residents (PGY4-5) using the number of total publications, middle author publications, first/last author publications, and the difference between the number of middle and first/last author publications. Results: Among the 335 male and 117 female residents included, male residents had more total publications than female residents. Among PGY4-5, male residents had more total publications and middle author publications. There was no difference in the number of first/last author publications between male and female PGY4-5 residents. Conclusions: Our cross-sectional analysis found that in the 2021-2022 academic year, male orthopedic surgery residents published more often than female residents, although among PGY4-5 residents, we found no gender differences in number of first/last author publications. The difference in total publications among PGY4-5 residents is likely due to differences in middle author publications. Future research should consider residents' self-identified gender, including non-binary and gender-fluid identity.

13-Year Analysis of Gender Disparity in Peer-reviewed Burn Literature.

Women are less likely to be senior authors, invited to write in scientific journals, and to be cited in high impact journals. The aim of this study was to investigate trends in authorship and gender differences in peer-reviewed burn literature over 13 years. We performed a retrospective analysis of original research articles published from January 2009 to September 2021 in three burn journals. A gender determination application was used to categorize the gender of the first and senior author. Of the 3908 articles analyzed, 42.5% had a woman first author and 27.6% had a woman senior author. We identified 2029 unique senior authors, 29.0% of whom were women. Woman senior authorship was associated with increased odds of woman first authorship [OR = 2.31 (95% CI: 2.00, 2.67); P < .001]. The percentage of papers with a woman senior author increased from 17.8% in 2009 to 35.7% in 2021. If this 1.0% (95% CI: 0.50-1.51%) linear trend increase per year in woman senior authorship continues, we will expect to see equal proportions of woman and man senior authors in the included journals starting in 2037. The field of burn care is far from reaching gender parity with respect to authorship of peer-reviewed publications. Supporting and encouraging gender-concordant and discordant first:last authorship dyads in mentorship as well as redistributing obligations that may detract from authorship opportunities are potential ways to improve parity in authorship and academia.

Socially responsible marketing in the context of industry 4.0: bibliometric analysis

Socially responsible marketing is an important tool for promoting environmentally sustainable production through the implementation of "green" production processes, "green" supply chain management and "green" products, and requires companies to engage in appropriate decisions, actions and practices that simultaneously meet ethical, economic, legal and environmental challenges. The development of Industry 4.0 is a key priority, as it determines the exponential growth of productivity, efficient use of time and cost reduction. The study aims to analyse the relationships between social responsibility and Industry 4.0 using bibliometric analysis tools. A thorough study of the relationships between the concepts of social responsibility and Industry 4.0, the study of thematic orientation and authorship of publications, systematisation and structuring of scientific works according to the main directions of research was carried out using the VOSviewer 1.6.19.0 software, a tool with functions of intellectual text analysis that can be used for construction and visualisation of bibliometric networks. The analysis results showed a rapid increase in the interest of scientists and confirmed the importance of socially responsible marketing in the world's advanced countries. The study of the topic and content of scientific studies shows that today socially responsible marketing should be a component of the management system of a modern enterprise, which recognises the importance of environmental problems and builds a transparent relationship with its consumers. The analysis of the affiliation of scientists proved that they belong to China, the USA, and European countries to a large extent. A retrospective analysis of scientific research revealed three stages of the development of publishing activity: the development of corporate relations, analysis of the impact of enterprise activities on the environment, and digitalisation processes. The authors single out promising socially responsible marketing; research areas: green economy, corporate social responsibility, and carbon-free economy.

COMPLEX METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION OF NATURAL LANGUAGE AND EMOTIONAL STATE

Current trends in NLP emphasize universal models and learning from pre-trained models. This article explores these trends and advanced models of pre-service learning. Inputs are converted into words or contextual embeddings that serve as inputs to encoders and decoders. The corpus of the author's publications over the past six years is used as the object of the research. The main methods of research are the analysis of scientific literature, prototyping, and experimental use of systems in the direction of research. Speech recognition players are divided into players with huge computing resources for whom training on large unlabeled data is a common procedure and players who are focused on training small local speech recognition models on pre-labeled audio data due to a lack of resources. Approaches and frameworks for working with unlabeled data and limited computing resources are almost not present, and methods based on iterative training are not developed and require scientific efforts for development. The research aims to develop methods of iterative training on unlabeled audio data to obtain productively ready speech recognition models with greater accuracy and limited resources. A separate block proposes methods of data preparation for use in training speech recognition systems and a pipeline for automatic training of speech recognition systems using pseudo marking of audio data. The prototype and solution of a real business problem of emotion detection demonstrate the capabilities and limitations of owl recognition systems and emotional states. With the use of the proposed methods of pseudo-labeling, it is possible to obtain recognition accuracy close to the market leaders without significant investment in computing resources, and for languages with a small amount of open data, it can even be surpassed.

ЛЬВІВСЬКИЙ ТИЖНЕВИК «ДНІ» (1935 р.): «ЦІКАВИЙ» МИСТЕЦЬКИЙ ПРОЄКТ ЧИ НЕТРИВАЛИЙ ПРЕСОВИЙ ЕКСПЕРИМЕНТ?

Thanks to the processing of archival documents, the circumstances of the establishment and functioning of the Lviv weekly «Dni», sources of funding, and the composition of its editorial board have been revealed. The idea of an «interesting word» declared by the editors has been studied in practice, and the publishing strategy for attracting the readership has been analyzed. The relevance of the topic of the article is well-founded – the weekly «Dni» has not yet been noticed by press historians as a separate object of research, although famous writers, artists and cultural figures of Galicia were involved in its appearance. The state of scientific development of the researched topic in modern journalism is highlighted. It was noted that the editors of the magazine «Dni» did not clearly declare the purpose of the magazine and addressed it to those who rebelled against gray everyday life and wanted to get acquainted with the colorful lives of others. The most active authors of the publication have been identified, their pseudonyms and cryptonyms were named, the authorship of unsigned publications has been established, and two hitherto unknown pseudonyms have been identified. Special emphasis has been placed on the original artistic work presented in the columns of the magazine «Dni» – these are stories and poems of young writers known in Galicia. The artistic design of the weekly has been highly appreciated. The main topics that most often worried the magazine’s authors has been highlighted, including: evaluation of literary creativity, development of theater, photographic art, and cinematography. The structure of the publication and the system of rubrics have been analyzed, and a brief overview of the contents of the weekly has been given. Its own vision of the effectiveness of the editorial line and possible reasons for closing the journal has been offered, among which financial difficulties of the editorial office and insufficient support from readers have been mentioned. It has been emphasized that despite the short release, the magazine «Dni» is a really interesting press project, which under favorable circumstances could have greater success and present broader artistic issues in its columns. Keywords: weekly, «Dni», editorial office, publication, pseudonym, readers.

Supply chain management in case of producer disruption between external (instable) forces and effective models

Recent global events, i.e. Covid 19 pandemic and Ukraine war, strongly changed both the perception of the supply chain weakness and the people purchasing behavior. From one hand, we observed how the supply chain disruption may appear in any level due to factory closing, quarantines, accidents. On the other hand, also producer disruption has been recently experienced due to the Ukraine conflict. In those cases, people behavior changes accordingly but new global models able to manage uncertainty could help the decision makers to prevent some population shocks. Within a so complex environment, the supply chains demonstrate to be vulnerable and subjected to disruption. The literature is full of contributions on bibliometric analysis for identifying the most influential authors, organizations and countries facing the supply chain disruption challenges, as well as contributions related to the network analysis for visualizing the relationships between authorship, citations, or common terms in publications. However, a great part of the published works consists in quite general and qualitative descriptions of disruption mitigating strategies and there is a gap in presenting holistic and detailed analysis. In this paper, a bibliometric literature review (BLR) has been carried out, in order to discover the emerging topics which are representative of the new researchers’ thinking about SC. It comes out that the investigation of new models to manager uncertainty, the risk management, the management of inventory and the coordination of SC and strategies are the issues that need to be investigated. Finally, a scheme of the stakeholder behavior and some up to date models to manage the supply chain under risk condition are presented.

A Bibliometric Investigation of Ecocide Research: Tracing Trends and Shaping the Future

Nearly every single day, research reports testify new evidences of substantial environmental degradation occurring around the world, impacting the lives of millions of people. As a notion, this environmental degradation that pertains to both naturally existing mechanisms of environmental or ecosystem degradation and ecological destruction due to anthropogenic activities is commonly referred to as Ecocide. While there is a significant body of research on ecocide, there appears to be a noticeable absence of bibliometric analyses dedicated to comprehensively studying and exploring this field. While the majority of literature in the area of environmental degradation revolves around the detrimental impacts of ecocide, there is a dearth of studies exploring the past, present and future of extant literature using bibliometric analysis. This research adopts bibliometric methodology to glean significant insights into the progress made in this field, delving into research articles published from 1990 to 2022. The paper aims to classify the available literature on Ecocide based on bibliometric criteria, including publication year, geographical region, authorship, affiliated institution, and source. Also, a bibliometric analysis of keyword co-occurrence to understand the mainstream themes underpinning the Ecocide literature was performed. The paper also reviews the legal frameworks and comes up with future areas of research in the domain of ecocide. This work can help find commonalities and connections in the published works. With this knowledge, researchers might build stronger partnerships and reach a larger audience with their advances. This research can fill up the gaps in the extant literature and provide new directions for research and policymaking.

Bibliographic Index of the Contents of the Journal “Bibliotekovedenie”. To the 70th Anniversary of the Periodical

In 2022, the Publishing House “Pashkov Dom” of the Russian State Library released the bibliographic work “Journal ‘Bibliotekovedenie’: Index of Contents 1952—2021”. The publication was prepared by the Research Department of Bibliography of the Russian State Library for the 70th anniversary of the scientific and practical journal. The article briefly describes all the milestones of the leading professional publication: from the periodical scientific collection “Libraries of the USSR. Work experience” up to the contemporary journal “Bibliotekovedenie”. Materials of the periodical have significant scientific value. The compilers of the bibliographic index ordered and systematized publications, as well as characterized previous similar works — cumulative in-journal indexes of contents and the only index of 1984 until 2022 published by the V.I. Lenin State Library of the USSR. The author highlights the number of differences between the previous indexes dedicated to the journal and the 2022 edition, among them are the completeness of coverage of the material, the structure and methodology of systematization, the availability of reference apparatus, etc. The reference apparatus of the new edition consists of five auxiliary indexes (index of names, personalia, library and information organizations, peer-reviewed publications and library and information serials). The book includes four reference appendices (the list of editors-in-chief, members of the editorial board and the editorial council; bibliographic list of publications about the journal in the professional press; the list of acronyms of library and information organizations; the list of bibliographic sources). In the process of compiling the index, the compilers encountered difficulties at the stage of grouping the material. Over the entire period of the journal existence, publishing standards and drawing up of the publication have changed many times. The compilers executed the painstaking work to identify the authorship of individual publications, as well as the identity in the names of repeatedly renamed library and information organizations, and to reveal data on the personalia mentioned in the articles. The article gives the examples of drawing up of the index. The index of publications of the main professional periodical from 1952 to 2021 reflects the processes of development of science, evolution, transformation of scientific knowledge and makes the basis for the work of researchers at present, being the significant mechanism of scientific activity.

Nomenclature and typification of Actinidia kolomikta (Actinidiaceae)

The nomenclature and lectotypification of the name Actinidia kolomikta (Maxim.) Maxim. are discussed. The correct authorship and date of publication of its basionym is specified, namely Prunus kolomikta Maxim., 27 XI 1856. The currently known original material of Prunus kolomikta (≡ Actinidia kolomikta) is represented by 5 specimens all stored in the Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia (LE). The specimen LE 01081775 is designated here as the lectotype of Prunus kolomikta, its duplicate LE 01081774 being cited as an isolectotype. The indication of the “holotype” and “isotypes” in the Tropicos database available on the Internet is shown to be erroneous.

Work Incentives for Sectoral Research Institute Researchers

The article considers issues of researchers’ work assessment of sectoral research institutes in the Russian Federation. The authors investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the existing system of scientometric indicators with relation to the researchers’ publication activity increase. Practical solutions are proposed to harmonize the internal and external motivation of the researchers’ work of the sectoral research institute in order to ensure the effectiveness of their scientific activities, the implementation of key indicators of the effectiveness of scientific work and to promote the economic and innovative effect of the institute activities. The authors proposed a conceptual system for stimulating the work of researchers through authorship in scientific publications and evaluated its effectiveness. The scientific novelty lies in the development of a system of incentives for authorship in scientific publications to employees of the Railway Research Institute. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the incentive system in many sectors of the modern economy.

Authorship in Urology: A Gender Reveal

ObjectiveTo evaluate female author representation in urologic literature as compared to the proportion of female practicing urologists. MethodsA cross-sectional study was designed to analyze trends in women authorship of urology publications in 2019 as compared to AUA 2019 census data. The 5 highest impact urologic journals in 2019 were identified using the publicly available SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) indices. Author genders and study categorization were independently determined by 2 authors. Chi-squared test was used for statistical analyses. ResultsThe 5 highest impact urologic journals in 2019 as per SJR were European Urology, Journal of Urology, British Journal of Urology International, Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases, and Nature Reviews Urology. A total of 501 publications were included for analysis. Women comprised 22.1% of first authors and 14.6% of senior authors. The proportion of publications authored by women was significantly higher than would be expected based on population proportions from the AUA 2019 census data for women as both first (P < .0001) and senior author (P =.0005). Similarly, women authorship was significantly higher than expected for basic science (P < .0001), clinical medicine (P <.0001), economics/practice management (P =.0002), editorial (P =.0027), and review/meta-analysis (P <.0001) publications. ConclusionThe present study demonstrates that women contribute to the urologic literature significantly more than would be expected based on the proportion of practicing female urologists. However, with the persistence of gender gap in academic medicine promotions, further research into contributing factors and strategies for improvement are needed to promote greater women representation in academia.

El directori inquisitorial de Pere d'Albalat i Ramon de Penyafort: estudi, edició i traducció

The short text Consultationes per dominum Petrum, archiepiscopum Terrachonensem, de consilio peritorum circa modum procedendi in negocio inquisicionis heretice pravitatis (&lsquo;Consultations made by lord Pere, Archbishop of Tarragona, with the advice of experts, on how to proceed in the inquiry of heretical perversity&rsquo;) is an inquisitorial guide written during the second half of 1241 by the Archbishop of Tarragona Pere d'Albalat with the advice of Ramon de Penyafort. In this work we provide for the first time a critical edition of this text with the collation of all manuscripts (by Stefano M. Cingolani), a translation into Catalan (by Robert &Aacute;lvarez Masalias), and an introductory study contextualising its authorship, date, and place of publication (by Sergi Grau Torras).

Bibliometric analysis and visualization of literature on assisted reproduction technology.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a method that uses various techniques to process sperm or ova. Assisted reproductive technology involves removing ova from a woman's ovaries, combining them with sperm in the laboratory, and returning them to the woman's body or donating them to another woman. Based on the web of science core collection database, we firstly analyzed the quantity and quality of publications in the field of ART, secondly profiled the publishing groups in terms of country, institution, author's publication and cooperation network, and finally sorted out and summarized the hot topics of research. In total, 6,288 articles on ART were published between 2001 and 2022 in 1,013 journals. Most of these published articles represent the global research status, potential hotspots and future research directions. Publications and citations of research on assisted reproductive technology have steadily increased over the past few decades. Academic institutions in Europe and the United States have been leading in assisted reproductive technology research. The countries, institutions, journals, and authors with the most published articles were the United States (1864), Harvard Univ (108), Fertility and Sterility (819), and Stern, Judy E. (64). The most commonly used keywords are Assisted reproductive technology (3303) and in-vitro Fertilization (2139), Ivf (1140), Pregnancy (1140), Women (769), Intracytoplasmic Sperm injection (644), In Fertilization (632), Risk (545), and Outcome (423). Frozen embryo transfer, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and in vitro fertilization are the main research topics and hotspots in the field of assisted reproductive technology.

Brain-based learning in design and visual arts education: a bibliometric assessment of Scopus indexed literature

Background: This study aims to critically review, quantify, and assess research outcomes on brain-based learning with an evidence-based study on Scopus indexed literature, with a focus to understand the evolution structure and growth, detect trends, subject development, and most importantly, identify the gaps in the published body of literature that relates brain-based learning to design and visual arts education. Methods: Various scientometric tools were used to map, visualize, and analyze 186 research publications, indexed in Scopus in a twenty-year timespan ‘2001-2021’. Annual publication trends, relevant sources, prolific authors, authorship patterns, productive organizations and countries, funding agencies, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and thematic evolution mapping on brain-based learning publications were examined in this study. Results: Despite the significance to apply brain-based learning strategies in design and visual arts education to boost students’ knowledge and creative skills, the findings show a decline in quantities and growth patterns in brain-based learning research directed towards design disciplines in the past twenty years. Among the identified (186) documents published in (128) sources, with (1013) citations, the study detected only (57) research (30%) that were related to ‘design education,’ including those focusing on ‘instructional design, ‘and ‘syllabus design’ whereas only (3) articles were in ‘design and visual arts’ disciplines. Conclusion: These rather small numbers reflect the big gap in the current body of literature that associates brain-based learning with creativity-based disciplines, specifically in design and visual arts education. This infers the necessity to direct the attention of academics, researchers, and educationalists in the fields of design and arts towards brain-based learning applications, research and pedagogy.
