Between Choice and Compulsion: The Dynamics of Bibliographic Reference Styles Preferred by Library and Information Science Professionals

The substantial surge in the publication of journal articles across diverse academic disciplines on open and online platforms globally has given rise to the challenge of effectively managing bibliographic references. Accordingly, the study will focus on reference styles in library and information science, particularly concerning their awareness, availability of online citation tools, standardization, and comprehensive overview of all commonly preferred styles among LIS professionals. The study explored the reference styles adopted by publishers publishing LIS journals indexed in prominent global databases such as SCOPUS, Web of Science, LISA (Proquest), LISTA, and UGC-CARE (India). The top ten LIS journals indexed in SCOPUS and their reference styles were identified. The preferences of reference styles including Indian Bibliographic Standard, preferred publishers, and the rationale behind their choices were found through a global survey conducted among LIS professionals. The result shows, among LIS professionals, APA style, followed by MLA style and Harvard style, were the most preferred reference styles. Elsevier, followed by Springer, Taylor & Francis, Emerald, and other were among the most preferred publishers. The Indian Bibliographic Standard is used less due to a lack of awareness and adaptability by journals and their publishers and the non-availability of automatic citation tools. This paper provides information to LIS professionals about reference styles used by leading LIS journals indexed in global databases published by different publishers to inform, promote, make early decisions, and enhance knowledge in preparing references or bibliographies for writing research papers or theses ahead of time.

A Scoping Review of Alzheimers Disease Hypotheses: An Array of Uni- and Multi-Factorial Theories.

There is a common agreement that Alzheimers disease (AD) is inherently complex; otherwise, a general disagreement remains on its etiological underpinning, with numerous alternative hypotheses having been proposed. To perform a scoping review of original manuscripts describing hypotheses and theories of AD published in the past decades. We reviewed 131 original manuscripts that fulfilled our inclusion criteria out of more than 13,807 references extracted from open databases. Each entry was characterized as having a single or multifactorial focus and assigned to one of 15 theoretical groupings. Impact was tracked using open citation tools. Three stages can be discerned in terms of hypotheses generation, with three quarter of studies proposing a hypothesis characterized as being single-focus. The most important theoretical groupings were the Amyloid group, followed by Metabolism and Mitochondrial dysfunction, then Infections and Cerebrovascular. Lately, evidence towards Genetics and especially Gut/Brain interactions came to the fore. When viewed together, these multi-faceted reports reinforce the notion that AD affects multiple sub-cellular, cellular, anatomical, and physiological systems at the same time but at varying degree between individuals. The challenge of providing a comprehensive view of all systems and their interactions remains, alongside ways to manage this inherent complexity.

I Can’t Get No Satis-Searching: Reassessing Discovery Layers in Academic Libraries Journal of Web Librarianship

Much has been written about discovery layer strengths and weaknesses in academic libraries. Many academic libraries have a discovery layer, using products, such as those from OCLC, EBSCO, ExLibris, Summon, or open-source products, such as VuFind. But after over 10 years of academic libraries adopting discovery layers as part of their discovery ecosystem, it may be time to take a step back and revisit the question posed by the speakers at the American Libraries Live “Making the Discovery Decision” January 2014 online discussion, namely: What is a discovery layer and its purpose? Are discovery layers accomplishing what they purport to accomplish for the end user? Through examining three particular discovery layers—OCLC WorldCat Discovery, ExLibris Primo VE, and EBSCO EDS—in regards to their conformance to the National Information Standards Organization (NISO)'s Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) “Checklist for Discovery Service Providers,” relevancy ranking algorithms, and mapping tables with facets, this article argues that the goals of discovery layers need to be reconsidered. Specifically, rather than the discovery layers’ goal to be Google-like and provide a self-sufficient user experience, discovery layers might be better promoted by libraries as a tool to be used most effectively with assistance from librarians. Discovery Layer vendors could focus their design efforts more on accurate faceted searching, citation tools, and saved search features, and less on esthetics and patron self-sufficiency.

Scholarly Impact in Context: A New Conceptualization and Assessment Using IMPACT

How we define and measure scholarly impact is an ongoing challenge in the field of management because scholarly impact metrics are used to make decisions about hiring affects critical career outcomes (e.g., securing a tenure-track job, receiving a positive or negative promotion and tenure review decision, and attaining a chaired position). So, how we define and measure scholarly impact is not a mere “methodological curiosity.” Our study has two goals. First, we improve our conceptual understanding of scholarly impact by overcoming limitations of the use of total citations and offering a contextualized conceptualization of impact based on human capital theory called the contextualized h-index. This index incorporates both the quantity and quality facets of a researcher's impact and explicitly considers researchers’ fields. Second, to facilitate the implementation of our conceptualization, we offer a freely-available enablement called the International Management Productivity Assessment Citation Tool (IMPACT). IMPACT can be used by researchers interested in learning about their own impact as well as those evaluating other researchers’ impact (e.g., search and promotion and tenure committee members, university leaders and administrators, research award committee members). The contextualized h-index, which can be easily computed using IMPACT, allows for “apples to apples” comparison of the scholarly impact of management scholars. Finally, we discuss implications for theory and research as well as practice.

Academic Libraries as a Platform for Detecting Plagiarism in Research Output

This study aims to identify the available services in academic libraries that reduce plagiarism and to learn about the academic databases and tools for the identification of Plagiarism. It also aims to study and analyze the policies and procedures followed by the academic libraries to reduce plagiarism using some of these tools. The study was based on the descriptive-analytical approach and deliberate sample of academic library websites in the Arab world and Semi-structured interviews with users (students/librarians/faculty members and researchers) to identify how academic libraries detect plagiarism. The study reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that the activation of the information awareness program in academic libraries through training courses and workshops on intellectual property rights and reasonable use will help in reducing plagiarism. Also, providing plagiarism detection software and citation tools will support the preservation of copyrights and intellectual property.

Automated citation recommendation tools encourage questionable citations

Abstract Citing practices have long been at the heart of scientific reporting, playing both socially and epistemically important functions in science. While such practices have been relatively stable over time, recent attempts to develop automated citation recommendation tools have the potential to drastically impact citing practices. We claim that, even though such tools may come with tempting advantages, their development and implementation should be conducted with caution. Describing the role of citations in science’s current publishing and social reward structures, we argue that automated citation tools encourage questionable citing practices. More specifically, we describe how such tools may lead to an increase in: perfunctory citation and sloppy argumentation; affirmation biases; and Matthew effects. In addition, a lack of transparency of the tools’ underlying algorithmic structure renders their usage problematic. Hence, we urge that the consequences of citation recommendation tools should at least be understood and assessed before any attempts to implementation or broad distribution are undertaken.

UPCC: A model of plagiarism-free inquiry project-based learning

Plagiarism is a common problem among students, and if unaddressed, it may lead to severe consequences for students' academic integrity and education, and even for their career advancement. It is therefore essential to incorporate comprehensive anti-plagiarism intervention at an early stage of education. This study introduces UPCC (Understanding, Paraphrasing, Citations, and Checks), a pedagogical model of plagiarism-free project-based learning (PjBL), to provide a basis for plagiarism prevention for secondary school students aged 11–13. The UPCC model incorporates (U)nderstanding plagiarism, learning about (P)araphrasing and related skills, generating proper (C)itations with an online citation tool and conducting originality (C)hecks with an online tool. Evaluation of the model shows that this pedagogy effectively enables students to avoid plagiarism in behavioural, cognitive and affective aspects. The positive and negative factors affecting plagiarism are also outlined. This study may provide practical guidance for secondary teachers to implement the UPCC model in their teaching of avoiding plagiarism; it may also contribute to future research committed to students' changes in behaviour, cognition and emotion.

Citation Databases for Legal Scholarship

Traditional citation sources, such as Web of Science, index limited numbers of law journals. Consequently, although not designed for generating scholarship citation metrics, many law scholarship citation studies use law-specific databases like Westlaw or LexisNexis to gather citations. This article compares citation metrics derived from Web of Science and Westlaw to metrics derived from Google Scholar and HeinOnline’s citation tools. The study finds that HeinOnline and Westlaw generate higher metrics than Web of Science, and Google Scholar generates higher metrics than both. However, metrics from all four sources are highly correlated, so rankings generated from any may be very similar.

Tourism information technology research trends: 1990-2016

Purpose The advancement of data analysis tools makes analyzing a huge amount of literature possible. This paper aims to identify tourism information technology research trends with the assistance of Toolkit for Academic Research (CATAR) to answer two research questions: the status of tourism information technology (IT) articles published in these selected journals from 1990 to 2016, and whether the number of Tourism IT articles is increasing or decreasing, and the main research topics studied in these articles from 1990 to 2016, and whether those have shifted over the 27 years. Design/methodology/approach Selected keywords identified by researchers that were used to extract Tourism IT articles published in Web of Science database. CATAR was used to carry out two analyses, namely, overview analysis and breakdown analysis. Overview analysis is performed to apply citation analysis to identify the general trend and the most cited reference of Tourism IT research represented by the selected articles. Breakdown analysis is based on bibliographic coupling (BC) analysis. Findings The number of Tourism IT publications grew rapidly in the second half of the 2000s, as mobile phones with touch screens became increasingly popular. It signals changes in the way of information searching behaviors. A total of 769 authors from 44 countries contributed to Tourism IT research. The USA, China, UK and Australia are the countries contributing the most. Six subject areas were revealed, namely, the interaction of people and organization; interaction of people and information; interaction of people and technology; technological implementation; the interaction of organization and information; and interaction of organization and technology. Research limitations/implications The major limitation of this study must be considered – the use of data merely derived from WoS database. The BC analysis makes a comparison between references of the given articles. This analysis requires the citation sources with better data quality, which is mainly based on the accuracy and standardization of databases. WoS is the database currently fit this requirement. The emergence of the new citation tools will enable scholars to pull data from new databases and to clean the data. Incorporating data from those new databases will reveal more accurate and comprehensive picture of Tourism IT research trend. Originality/value This paper revealed the research trend and major research subject areas of Tourism IT research for the past 16 years. The results can assist scholars to quickly grasp the Tourism IT research. This paper also provides an alternative approach to conduct literature review with computer-assisted analysis program.
