Academic publication uncertainty and research behavior

AbstractThere are many uncertainties in the production/dissemination of academic research. This paper incorporates publication uncertainty in a game model between researchers and journal editors, and examines its effects on the quantity and quality of research and on citations. Authors seek to maximize satisfaction from their publishing efforts, while journal editors try to enhance reputations of their journals. Publication probability depends on the number of academic journals. Results show that the impacts of a change in the number of journals (capturing publication uncertanty) on citations and quality are symmetric. Citations and research quality can go up, while total publications (research quantity) can increase, decrease, or stay unchanged.

AI vs academia: Experimental study on AI text detectors’ accuracy in behavioral health academic writing

ABSTRACT Artificial Intelligence (AI) language models continue to expand in both access and capability. As these models have evolved, the number of academic journals in medicine and healthcare which have explored policies regarding AI-generated text has increased. The implementation of such policies requires accurate AI detection tools. Inaccurate detectors risk unnecessary penalties for human authors and/or may compromise the effective enforcement of guidelines against AI-generated content. Yet, the accuracy of AI text detection tools in identifying human-written versus AI-generated content has been found to vary across published studies. This experimental study used a sample of behavioral health publications and found problematic false positive and false negative rates from both free and paid AI detection tools. The study assessed 100 research articles from 2016–2018 in behavioral health and psychiatry journals and 200 texts produced by AI chatbots (100 by “ChatGPT” and 100 by “Claude”). The free AI detector showed a median of 27.2% for the proportion of academic text identified as AI-generated, while commercial software Originality.AI demonstrated better performance but still had limitations, especially in detecting texts generated by Claude. These error rates raise doubts about relying on AI detectors to enforce strict policies around AI text generation in behavioral health publications.

Bibliometric Analysis of Corporate Social Responsibility in Tourism

The large amount of research on corporate social responsibility in tourism shows its importance as a field of study. The role of tourism organizations and their impacts on sustainability have become increasingly important in recent decades. In addition, research on corporate social responsibility has expanded in scale and scope and can be found in a number of academic journals. The aim of this paper is to present the details of the academic work on corporate social responsibility in tourism and to demonstrate the intellectual structure of research in this field. This study analyzes 571 articles obtained from Scopus and published from 2002 to 2022 (August) and presents the development and growth of knowledge in corporate social responsibility and tourism. The study method used to extract the articles was based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). The results indicate that this field of study has expanded significantly from being studied primarily in Europe towards being studied also in developing countries, such as China and India. In addition, the research themes emerging in the field of corporate social responsibility in tourism include tourism behaviors and strategic approaches to corporate social responsibility. This review highlights the emerging trends in research on corporate social responsibility in tourism, the dominant academic journals, and the countries that focus on research in this area. Furthermore, directions for future research are also presented.

Publishing, identifiers & metrics: Playing the numbers game

The number of scientific articles published each year is rapidly growing and so is the number of academic journals. This makes it impossible for an individual practitioner or researcher to keep track of all research published in their own field or sub-discipline. With the growing amount of publications, it is also becoming more difficult to distinguish between similar papers published on the same topic, in the same journal, or by the same researchers (or research team). This perspective paper could support students and novice researchers, outlines the difference between the unique identifier for: (1) you as the researcher, (2) a specific paper; and (3) a specific journal. This paper further outlines the various numerical identifiers associated with academic publishing to help demystify academic publishing.

Gender Representation in Chinese Tobacco Advertising

The broad development prospects of the Chinese tobacco consumer market have attracted an increasing number of international companies to do business and invest in China. In tobacco marketing campaign, gender representation in advertising is a common and effective means to attract consumers. It has a great significance to marketing practitioners and advertisers, especially in the emerging market of China. A comprehensive understanding of gender representation in Chinese advertising can provide a universal framework for marketing campaign and help establish an academic foundation for market segmentation. This literature review aims to research the portrayal of gender representative images and roles in Chinese advertising, their formation reasons and changing trends. Drawing on huge number of academic journals, research papers and academic books in the online academic literature database, this literature review will critically analyze and summarize the literature related to gender representation in Chinese tobacco advertising. The results show that the characteristics of gender representation in traditional Chinese advertisements are influenced by traditional Chinese culture, socialist political policies and Western value culture, and tend to modern Western advertising models. The gender representation in Chinese online advertising emphasized the concept of self and began to show more Chinese characteristics. In the future, the booming Chinese online advertising will have more variables and more complex trends, and there will be a huge academic gap left for future research.

The significance of the original characteristics of the active substance of injectable chondroitin sulfate preparations for intramuscular injections in the evidence-based medicine

Given the data from normative control resources and the research and development information system of the Ministry of Science and Education of the Russian Federation, we were unable to review the results and the quality of publications comprising method development and analytical validation of quantitative and qualitative values of injectable chondroitin sulfate preparations for intramuscular injections.
 Therefore, the results obtained in the research The development of a method for determining the intrinsic viscosity of an injectable chondroitin sodium sulfate preparation for intramuscular injections of 100 mg/ml, 2 ml remain valid, the method is considered reliable and practical.
 The materials and methods used in the research The development of a method for determining the intrinsic viscosity of an injectable chondroitin sulfate preparation have provided the possibility to determine the intrinsic viscosity for injectable chondroitin sodium sulfate preparations for intramuscular injections and the use of 0.2 M sodium chloride solution as a solvent. Also, the viscosity of the tested solutions in the concentration range of chondroitin sulfate 4.5-20 mg/ml was accurately сalculated, the value of the intrinsic viscosity determined for each of the preparations under test was in the range of 0.03-0.042 m3/kg.
 This study presents the results of a review of recent information, published in a number of academic journals, concerning modern approaches to the treatment and major clinical problems when applying chondroprotectors for arthrological diseases treatment.
 Considering the continuing interest in chondroprotectors, stability problems with formulations and modern possibilities in the application of machine learning in drug discovery, additional pharmaceutical design research (Drug design) is expected - from the docking stage to the quantum calculations stage.

Letter From the Editor

Letter From the Editor Christopher Gaffney 親愛的同事們, A few years ago I was wandering through the Saara region of Rio de Janeiro in the late afternoon and stopped to have an esfiha in a traditional Syrian eatery. The young girl behind the counter was clearly Han Chinese and spoke just enough Portuguese to facilitate our transaction. As I was happily munching away, I looked down a row of stores selling the myriad shimmering and feathery things necessary for Carnaval. The stores were closing and each metal curtain was pulled down by a young Chinese person. From the parking garages emerged a series of rather expensive cars driven by Chinese patresfamilias, the new dons of the Carnaval trade in Rio. This insignificant moment in Rio's vibrant commercial district got me thinking about the ways in which Latin America and China are interconnected beyond the production and consumption of consumer goods. The retreat of the United States fro the region has opened opportunities for Chinese investment in infrastructure, technology, and political interaction. A number of academic journals have produced special issues that explore the relationships between Latin America and China but none have taken the explicitly geographic perspective that we offer in this Special Issue on China and Latin American Relations. Our guest editors Julie Klinger and Tom Narins have worked closely with Associate Editor Jorn Seemann to bring together a wonderful array of stories, perspectives, and ideas that give us ample food for thought about this enduring and dynamic interchange. As part of our ongoing efforts to modernize and expand the reach of JLAG, we have included Chinese abstracts for the first time. We hope that this will allow the journal to reach new audiences and stimulate interchange between Latin American and Chinese geographers. Additionally, we continue to direct ever more resources to editing and production and continue to seek avenues for innovation and engagement with geographers throughout the Americas and beyond. It is fitting, therefore, that this is the first issue of JLAG that will be published under the aegis of the "new CLAG." The removal of the "ista" nomenclature from CLAG was an overdue recognition that the organization is not only a home for North American geographers who study Latin America, but rather a place of encounter and exchange between and for all Latin American Geographers regardless of origin or residence. As the Conference of Latin American Geography approaches its 50th year, the editorial team at JLAG would like to renew our call to all of our Latin American colleagues to contribute to the growth of the journal through which we can foster debate, promote change, and develop lasting relationships. 好利潤!

Information Ethics Issues In Higher Education Institutions

Information ethics, as is prominent, has arrived as a liberated area of ethical and philosophical inquiry. There are few number of academic journals that are devoted fully to the numerous ethical issues that emerge relating with the new information communication technologies such as the issues include information privacy, safety issues of concern to librarians , a host of intellectual property, and other information professionals. Furthermore, there are also a number of yearly dominant international conferences committed to information ethics. It would barely be hyperbolic the thing to make declaration that information ethics is as “hot” a field of theoretical inquiry as medical ethics.The objective of this paper was to analyze the issues of information quality and to determine the best criteria of information quality in financial institutions. The implications of bad quality information will also be described in order to know how it will cause critical financial problem for industries.

Editorial: ICT for Assessment and Rehabilitation in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders.

The Editorial on the Research Topic ICT for Assessment and Rehabilitation in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders As depicted by the cover image, this special issue unites seemingly disparate items and objects. However, importantly, all these items are related to the theme, “ICT for Assessment and Rehabilitation in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders.” Under this rubric, our special issue addresses four subtopics: assessment, rehabilitation, virtual reality (VR), and education. In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in employing information and communication technologies (ICTs) with the aging population, as well as with people living with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related disorders. This interest has manifested in several ways. For example, there has been a notable increase in the amount of research funding dedicated to projects related to the theme of ICT and aging at the level of private, national, and international funding agencies. Furthermore, there has been a significant growth in the number of academic journals and publications dedicated to the topic with a resulting explosion in the number and quality of research, policy, and clinically related publications. Finally, there has been a welcome proliferation of national and international conferences/workshops themed on ICT and aging, as well as strong representation in the topics and themes of the most important AD- and dementia-related conferences. One of the peculiarities, and indeed fascinating aspects, of this domain is that it is intrinsically interdisciplinary and is dependent on the tight collaboration among professionals from diverse backgrounds, including researchers, clinicians, engineers, and business people. Those involved are driven by the thrill of innovation and the potential to apply exciting new technologies to some of the most basic aspects of older people’s daily lives. The ultimate aim of these endeavors is to improve quality of life, enhance independence, and promote healthy living in the older population. Yet this work can be accompanied by complications, snags and hitches, not the least of which is the necessity for all the players to develop a common language. The need to span the boundaries among disciplines has resulted in some unique professional pairings, such as is exemplified by the recently launched team of CoBTek, the Cognition, Behavior and Technology Unit of the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, which has arisen from the collaboration of the Nice Memory Clinic and INRIA. CoBTek is now working with “Innovation Alzheimer” Association in France to host and deliver annual interdisciplinary workshops devoted to developing recommendations for the use of ICT in people with AD and related disorders (Robert et al., 2013; Robert et al.). The inspiration behind the present research topic was one of the successful outputs of the workshops and was intended to bring together international researchers and professionals working in this new field to provide new insights into the current use of ICT in healthy and pathological aging. The aim also included the need to identify challenges and new perspectives in the field, gather recommendations for the application of ICT in AD and related disorders in clinical practice, and showcase cutting edge clinical research.

The screenplay as text: academic scriptwriting as creative research

ABSTRACTScreenwriting in the academy is an emerging research area. To date, it has been difficult to study screenwriting activity in higher education settings, not least because few academic journals publish screenplays. This is largely because scripts written in the academy have not been seen as research or as fully-fledged creative works worthy of publication. There has been a persistent idea that scripts are not stand-alone works but merely ‘blueprints’ for the films or television programmes based on them. This situation is now changing, with a number of academic journals publishing screenplays as creative research and treating scripts as texts in themselves, irrespective of production. This article explores the reasons behind the marginal position of screenwriting in the academy, which includes discipline bias, and argues for the repositioning of screenwriting as a valid and valuable creative and research practice. The article argues that the outcomes of this creative research, the screenplays themselves, should be treated as creative research texts in their own right that are deserving of publication irrespective of any staging or production. The article also discusses future directions of Screenwriting Studies as a scholarly discipline.

Academic Publication Uncertainty and Publishing Behavior: A Game-Theoretic Perspective

This paper incorporates publication uncertainty in a game between researchers and journal editors and examines its effects on quantity and quality of published research. A stylized differential Stackelberg game between journal editors and academic authors is considered, where authors seek to maximize satisfaction from publications, while journal editors try to enhance reputations of their journals. Publication probability depends on the number of academic journals. Results show that greater journal competition, generally leading to reduced publication uncertainty, would increase author payoffs by increasing citations and publications. However, it is not clear whether the quality of published research is enhanced. Thus, changes in competition in publishing markets have the potential to exacerbate the quantity-quantity trade offs in research markets.

How the same organizational structures can arise across seemingly unrelated domains of human activities: the example of academic publishing and stock market

Here we show how the same organizational structures can arise across seemingly unrelated domains of human activities. To this end we examine the example of academic journals publishing and stock market. A number of academic journals with low-prestige and limited resources may compete in the same selection process of high-quality manuscripts. This shared selection process is performed by an independent editorial committee. A journal editor is interested in maximizing the growth rate of journal wealth based on an optimal strategy of allocations on candidate manuscripts. Here we introduce the system of optimality equations for the maximization problem. Next, we find an optimal set of manuscripts to allocate on, as well as the optimal allocation fractions. It can be easily implemented by a simple algorithm for use at the shared selection process of high-quality manuscripts. The proposed structure presents a loose network of economic transactions, i.e. journal editors compete on somewhat like manuscript market by making stakes and risking their money. We provide a publicly available suite of web-based tools designed to the computation of the optimal set of manuscripts and the respective allocation fractions. Examples of the performance of the Web application for allocating journal resources are presented for two different selection processes of high-quality manuscripts.

Writing for publication: science and healthcare journals

This article is designed to help authors write scholarly articles for publication in science and healthcare journals. A comprehensive model based on 11 steps and detailing the structure expected for a journal is suggested for the writing of a range of papers. This is in keeping with the recognised style of a number of academic journals. The article encourages authors to submit their papers for publication with the intention of enhancing the quality and safety of care provided to patients, clients and service users.

The Art of Not Being Quite So Governed: An Examination of the Work of the “Critical” Journal

Michel Foucault in his lecture “What is Critique?” argues that criticism offered a response to the state's developing art of governing in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Instead of accepting the state's way of governing, critics presented alternative visions of not being quite so governed or of not being governed thusly. Similarly, in the latter half of the twentieth century, factions within academic disciplines also rejected their disciplines' mode of governing and created alternatives. In response to the desire to make political science more relevant and visible, the Caucus for a New Political Science formed as an alternative to the American Political Science Association. A similar trend occurred in other disciplines. Over the next few decades a number of academic journals were founded that included the word “critical” in their titles or explicitly stated a “critical” aim or approach. However, even dissenting academic groups, like the Caucus for a New Political Science, began to be reabsorbed within their disciplinary homes. With time, many of these groups succumbed to a degree of professionalization that perhaps inhibited their larger aspirations. As Foucault argues, the critical attitude does not reject governing altogether; it is not a call for anarchy. Rather, it demands an alternative to the current governance. The question becomes how to maintain the critical attitude while also building alternative institutions. Does institution building attenuate critique? And what then is critique? This article reflects on these questions by providing a brief study of “critical” disciplinary reorganizations, with greater attention to the Caucus for a New Political Science and its journal, New Political Science.

The long and winding road to publication

It is clear that academic dissemination has a system of checks and balances which authors may experience as barriers. We all want to be sure that scientific information disseminated in academic journals is based on solid data, ethically collected and correctly interpreted. The process of peer reviewing helps to prevent bad science and/or poor scientific papers being published. Many published scientific papers differ from the original submitted manuscript since papers go through a process of peer-review, editing and rewriting. However, there are other potential obstacles in the field of academic publishing. This paper is a case-study of one methods paper which stumbled upon a number of barriers related to the viability and continued existence of a number of academic journals in Nepal. Finally, we offer some advice to help health journals to survive when their editors leave.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nje.v2i4.7093Nepal Journal of Epidemiology Vol.2(4) 2012 pp.213-215

Sourcing in global health supply chains for developing countries

Purpose – Although noticeable improvements have been made in global health in recent years, the distribution is uneven throughout the world and many developing and low-income countries lack access to required medicine and vaccines. Thus, a model to strategically source vaccines for these nations can contribute a great deal. This paper aims to present an extensive review of strategic sourcing literature, and to identify the criteria and available models in making strategic sourcing decisions. The purpose is to develop a decision making framework for future empirical study of humanitarian aid networks, more specifically, sourcing and distribution of vaccines in developing countries. Design/methodology/approach – A thorough review of several purchasing and supply chain management (SCM) journals was conducted to identify the strategic criteria in making sourcing decisions, hence “strategic sourcing”. In line with this, a number of sourcing strategies were reviewed to find the relevant strategic criteria. Secondary data from practice were also investigated for special characteristics of vaccine supply chains in humanitarian aid networks. Articles were then scrutinized and results categorized in order to develop a framework for future empirical studies. Findings – The findings show the historical development of strategic sourcing and the criteria in making strategic sourcing decisions. More recent studies, while taking a look back in history, have revealed a mix of strategies for more flexible models. Quality has been noted to be a strategic criterion for sourcing vaccines and this has caused the supply market to be dispersed on a global scale. Research limitations/implications – Considering the extensive number of academic publications, due to the focus of this study being sourcing within humanitarian aid networks, a number of academic journals in logistics/SCM/sourcing were reviewed. Originality/value – A decision making framework is presented for sourcing vaccines within the humanitarian sector. The criteria in making strategic sourcing decisions are further re-evaluated and a base model proposed. The framework will be used for further research on sourcing in the humanitarian aid sector as well as practical implications.

E-lectra: A Bibliography for the Study and Practice of Legal, Court and Official Translation and Interpreting

Scientific development presupposes the efficient communication of new findings. The increase in the number of academic journals and publications worldwide burdens scholars, also translation scholars, with the responsibility of keeping up to date with ever increasingly scattered relevant literature. On the other hand, legal translation professionals need to select and find specialised documentation and reference material, which the market addresses not to translators or interpreters but to law specialists. E-lectra is an electronic bibliographic database whose purpose is to help legal translation scholars and practitioners select and find relevant literature and documentation resources, and further help researchers to present their work by providing a powerful pool of formats and styles incorporated in an easy-to-use system for citing references in their works and adapting them to the conventions of different journals from the field of translation studies.

Foundational issues in information ethics

PurposeInformation ethics, as is well known, has emerged as an independent area of ethical and philosophical inquiry. There are a number of academic journals that are devoted entirely to the numerous ethical issues that arise in connection with the new information communication technologies; these issues include a host of intellectual property, information privacy, and security issues of concern to librarians and other information professionals. In addition, there are a number of major international conferences devoted to information ethics every year. It would hardly be overstating the matter to say that information ethics is as “hot” an area of theoretical inquiry as medical ethics. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview on these and related issues.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents a review of relevant information ethics literature together with the author's assessment of the arguments.FindingsThere are issues that are more abstract and basic than the substantive issues with which most information ethics theorizing is concerned. These issues are thought to be “foundational” in the sense that we cannot fully succeed in giving an analysis of the concrete problems of information ethics (e.g. are legal intellectual property rights justifiably protected?) until these issues are adequately addressed.Originality/valueThe paper offers a needed survey of foundational issues in information ethics.
