Change In Editorial Policy Research Articles

Speech, Language, and Hearing in the 21st Century: A Bibliometric Review of JSLHR From 2001 to 2021.

A bibliometric analysis was performed for articles published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (JSLHR) from 2001 to 2021 to examine changes to and emerging trends in the speech, language, and hearing sciences in the 21st century. Quantitative analyses using JASP were performed on the publication rate and number of authors in articles published in JSLHR for each year from 2001 to 2021. VOSviewer was used to analyze and visualize networks of co-occurring Keyword Plus terms extracted from the articles published in JSLHR for several representative years from 2001 to 2021. Although the number of publications and number of authors published in JSLHR increased from 2001 to 2021, that growth was consistent with the growth found in science in general and with changes in publication policies and practices. The number and range of countries other than the United States published in JSLHR increased from 2001 to 2021. A consistent set of institutions published frequently in JSLHR across the years examined. The analysis of Keyword Plus terms showed an increase in the range of populations, disorders, and languages that were the subject of research from 2001 to 2021, as well as influences from other fields on speech, language, and hearing sciences. The science of science approach and the tools of network science are useful for assessing how changes in editorial policy affect diversity, for monitoring research topics that are growing (or declining), for identifying institutions that lead the field, and for inviting discussions among various interested parties related to the growth and development of a discipline.

ЛІТЕРАТУРНІ ВИДАННЯ МУРу: ІСТОРІЯ, ЗМІСТ, НАПРЯМ

The article analyzes the important literary publications of the Ukrainian Artistic Movement (MUR), devoted to artistic, literary-critical, art history issues (in particular, the collections "MUR", MUR's аlmanac, "Arсh"). The issues of history, content, and direction of these publications are investigated, each of which is considered as a kind of integrity and is considered in the context of the literary activity of the MUR. The historical, cultural and socio-political prerequisites of MUR's publications, their ideological and aesthetic foundations, and functions are clarified. It is argued that the MUR's literary projects reflect general culture and social moods and trends, ideological and aesthetic changes in the Ukrainian emigration literary process of the late 1940s, that these publications present the most important ideas and works of that time. It is noted that the priority of the three Collections of Literary and Artistic Issues "MUR" was programmatic, and the MUR аlmanac aimed to reflect artistic diversity of literary life, in particular stylistic. The main attention is devoted to the "Arch" as an outstanding and unique phenomenon in the history of Ukrainian literary and literary-critical thought, in particular, the history of its creation, changes in editorial policy are revealed, its assessments are recorder in the views of contemporaries. Periodicals published under the auspices of the MUR had a great influence on the cultural and literary process of the late 1940s, contributing, in particular, to the consolidation of creative efforts, the duration and continuity of Ukrainian modernists and Europeanists literary trends. Memoirs, letters, papers of the creators and members of the MUR, in particular, Yuri Sherekh (Shevelov), Ulas Samchuk, Gregory Kostyuk, Yuri Lavrinenko and other became the source base for the study.

New Journalist Work Patterns and News Media Production in Pandemic

The pandemic has changed the work order and old patterns that have prevailed in the media. This paper highlights the changing work patterns and news media production in Surakarta City-Indonesia regarding the pandemic. The data were collected by interviews and observations of journalists assigned to cover the area of Surakarta and the newsroom. The results showed a change in the pattern of coverage, number, and broadcast pattern or news packaging model and changes in editorial policy. The orientation of the news is no longer merely to “worship” exclusivity. It requires high creativity so that it does not lose information. The pattern of coverage previously had to go by interviews and direct observations to become a mediated pattern. It became considered taboo for journalists in the era before the pandemic. Photos and videos no longer have to match the news narrative but can be used as substitute objects as long as they have relevance. The format of voice-over news has been changed a lot in the form of live broadcasts, and mini talk shows to fill the program's broadcast duration, which was affected by the decrease in the number of news reports reported by journalists during the pandemic.

Challenges for medical libraries in times of COVID-19: Making clinical decisions that uphold research quality

Distance working in the context of the COVID-19 crisis has engendered a new model of collaborative activity for the Library of Donostialdea Integrated Health Organisation (San Sebastián, Spain). Promoted by the Clinical Epidemiology and Research Unit, this initiative has enabled Hospital Management to respond to some of the gaps in information revealed during the pandemic. Changes in editorial policies offering open access information, the lack of peer-reviewed literature, and the spread of scientific literature through social media are some of the factors that stand out in the search for the best evidence during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A study of the impact of data sharing on article citations using journal policies as a natural experiment.

This study estimates the effect of data sharing on the citations of academic articles, using journal policies as a natural experiment. We begin by examining 17 high-impact journals that have adopted the requirement that data from published articles be publicly posted. We match these 17 journals to 13 journals without policy changes and find that empirical articles published just before their change in editorial policy have citation rates with no statistically significant difference from those published shortly after the shift. We then ask whether this null result stems from poor compliance with data sharing policies, and use the data sharing policy changes as instrumental variables to examine more closely two leading journals in economics and political science with relatively strong enforcement of new data policies. We find that articles that make their data available receive 97 additional citations (estimate standard error of 34). We conclude that: a) authors who share data may be rewarded eventually with additional scholarly citations, and b) data-posting policies alone do not increase the impact of articles published in a journal unless those policies are enforced.

Quantifying the internationality and multidisciplinarity of authors and journals using ecological statistics

Authors or journals often claim internationality or multidisciplinarity based on assertion or qualitative evidence, while scientometric studies employ sophisticated analyses or software beyond the resources of occasional users to assess these concepts. This paper demonstrates how statistics used to describe ecological communities can be applied to bibliometric data to quantify internationality or multidisciplinarity for individuals and journals, enabling tests of statistical significance using graphical user interface freeware accessible to even occasional users. Margalef Richness, diversity and evenness or equitability can be calculated to indicate whether papers or citations come predominantly from a small group of countries or disciplines, or are more widely distributed. Tests of statistical significance for differences in Margalef richness, diversity or evenness between authors or journals enable testing of diverse hypotheses including, for example: differences in internationality or multidisciplinarity between authors or between journals; or changes over time in these variables for authors or journals (perhaps in response to career changes or changes in editorial policy). Quantifying internationality and multidisciplinarity in an accessible way for many potential users, with the possibility of statistical hypothesis testing, is a significant advance over assertion and qualitative description on the one hand or conceptually and practically complex analysis on the other.

Protocol for a retrospective, controlled cohort study of the impact of a change in Nature journals' editorial policy for life sciences research on the completeness of reporting study design and execution.

In recent years there has been increasing concern about the rigor of laboratory research. Here we present the protocol for a study comparing the completeness of reporting of in vivo and in vitro research carried in Nature Publication Group journals before and after the introduction of a change in editorial policy (the introduction of a set of guidelines for reporting); and in similar research published in other journals in the same periods.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s11192-016-1964-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Trends in Kinesiology Research Quality over Three Decades

The quantity of published research in kinesiology has increased exponentially over the past three decades. During this period, journal editors have published recommendations for improving the quality of research studies and of research reporting. However, limited evidence has been collated to systematically investigate longitudinal trends in the quality of kinesiology research. PURPOSE: To examine trends in the quality of published kinesiology research over the past three decades. METHODS: The journal Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport was selected as representative of a broad range of disciplines within kinesiology. All articles in the 1993 (n = 62), 2003 (n = 56), and 2013 (n = 62) volumes were evaluated using quality indicators recommended in editorials and research methods textbooks. Trends were analysed using either oneway ANOVA or KWANOVA for numeric variables or chi-square for categorical variables. RESULTS: After initial examination, 117 of the 180 articles (65%) were determined to include primary quantitative data collection. The percent of these studies using experimental or quasi-experimental designs did not change from 1993 (36.8%) to 2003 (44.2%) or to 2013 (47.2%). Sample size did not change from 1993 (Mdn=64) to 2003 (Mdn=38) or to 2013 (Mdn=42). Mean (±SD) number of authors did not change from 1993 (3.1±1.7) to 2003 (3.1±1.5) but increased (p < 0.05) in 2013 (4.3±2.4). The percent of articles reporting a clear purpose statement in the abstract did not change from 1993 (31.6%) to 2003 (30.2%) but increased (p < 0.05) in 2013 (97.2%). Within the body text, a high percent of studies included a clear purpose statement in all three volumes (68.4% in 1993; 83.7% in 2003; 86.1% in 2013). Among experimental studies, the percent that reported effect sizes increased (p < 0.05) from 1993 (21.4%) to 2003 (52.6%) and to 2013 (76.5%). CONCLUSIONS: Across three decades, no discernible changes were noted in the use of stronger (experimental) designs, or in sample size. Improvements in reporting of effect sizes may be due to increased focus on this area in editorial commentaries. The increase in clear reporting of the study purpose in the abstract was likely due to a change in editorial policy in 2012. Improvements in research quality may require more stringent editorial and reviewing decisions.

Introduction: the ‘Bakhtin Circle’ in its own time and ours

The papers collected in this issue of SEET were originally presentations delivered to the 15th International Bakhtin Conference held in Stockholm, Sweden in July, 2014. This was the first conference in the series to be held since completion of the publication of the Collected Works (Sobranie socinenija) of Bakhtin (1996, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2008, 2010, 2012). Though originally scheduled as a seven-volume set, to have included a final volume containing works published in the name of Ivan Kanaev, Valentin Volosinov and Pavel Medvedev, this was abbreviated to six volumes [albeit with volume four in two parts (2008, 2010)] of works about which there is no reasonable doubt about Bakhtin’s sole authorship. This was a significant revision of the original editorial plan, and probably reflects the impact of the significant amount of archival work conducted by a number of scholars that has significantly strengthened the case for the authorship of Volosinov and Medvedev to be taken seriously. It should be noted that one of the figures responsible for such work was Pavel Medvedev’s son Jurij, who died in October 2013, and about whose life and work a special session was held (for an obituary see Brandist 2013). Although differences of opinion persist on the authorship of these works, and the extensive editorial apparatus of the Collected Works bears one such perspective, it has become increasingly untenable to maintain a perspective on the work of Bakhtin that does not take into serious consideration the discussions that took place within what is now (not unproblematically) called the ‘Bakhtin Circle’. Most participants working in the area certainly welcomed the change in editorial policy, and the session in honour of Jurij Pavlovic often focused on the implications for understanding the works of each individual participant in the ‘Circle’.

Kaj bi si dr. Murray mislil o današnji spletni različici slovarja Oxford English Dictionary?

V zadnjih letih 20. stoletja je bila vsebina slovarja Oxford English Dictionary (OED) prenesena iz tiskanega v digitalni medij. Pri tem je bilo presenetljivo to, da je bil prenos zaradi strukturiranosti podatkov v tiskani različici dokaj enostaven. Prispevek v prvem delu ponuja pregled zgodovine izdaj slovarja OED, predstavlja uredniško delo v obeh medijih in spremembe, do katerih je prišlo zaradi njegove zamenjave. Nadaljevanje prispevka je posvečeno pregledu novih možnosti, ki jih slovar v digitalni obliki ponuja svojim uporabnikom; mednje sodijo vizualizacija podatkov z grafi, diagrami in animacijami, pa tudi povezovanje slovarskih informacij z drugimi viri. Avtor sklene, da bi bil dr. Murray, prvotni urednik slovarja, gotovo vesel prenosa slovarja iz tiskanega v digitalni medij, vendar pa je najpomembnejša posledica tega napredka v prikazovanju slovarske vsebina ta, da sodobnim uporabnikom poleg analize zgodovine posameznih besed omogoča tudi opazovanje jezikovnih sprememb.

It is Still Time to Voluntarily Turnover Theories of Voluntary Turnover: A Response to Commentary

This was written in response to commentaries made on an article I wrote titled “Is it time to voluntarily turnover theories of voluntary turnover.” A change in editorial policy precluding focal author responses to subsequent commentary precluded its publication in Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

Confidence of trainee doctors in the management of diabetes

As editor of QJM I am required to make a presentation at each Annual General Meeting of the Association of Physicians of Great Britain and Ireland. This I was pleased to do recently when I was able to document that the journal was doing relatively well in terms of impact factor, rate of electronic downloads and income. During the subsequent question time I was challenged by a member of the audience who was concerned regarding an apparent change in editorial policy. He queried the appropriateness of publishing papers that had a focus on educational themes rather than primary biomedical research. I very much welcomed this question as it raises an important issue. My immediate response was that the papers that are eventually published in QJM are a reflection upon what is submitted by authors. A number of papers with a broad educational or training theme are received, some of which are sent on for peer review. I would argue that while the journal must maintain an academic …
