Constraints to Conducting Agricultural Research Uptake Activities Among Researchers in Rivers State, Nigeria

The study assessed constraints faced by agriculture researchers in conducting research uptake activities in tertiary institutions in Rivers State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling was used to select one hundred and eighty-two agriculture researchers from the three universities that have faculty of Agriculture in Rivers State. Data for the study was collected using a questionnaire and in-depth interviews while analysis of data was carried out using, mean, percentages and the Binary Logit regression model. Results showed that 98% of the researchers were involved in research uptake activities. Publication of journal articles (76%), convening training workshops (60%) and organizing seminars (59%) were the major research uptake activities conducted by agriculture researchers in the State. Insufficient funds (x=3.68), lack of basic facilities (x=3.54) and poor synergy between researchers and policymakers (x =3.48) were major constraints faced by agriculture researchers in conducting research uptake activities. Agriculture researchers’ socioeconomic characteristics were not significant determinants of agriculture researchers’ level of involvement in research uptake activities in the study area. The provision of basic structural facilities and financial support by university management will aid agricultural researchers’ involvement in research uptake activities.

Completeness of intervention description in invasive cardiology trials: an observational study of ClinicalTrials.gov registry and corresponding publications.

Non-pharmacological invasive interventions in cardiology are complex and often inadequately reported. Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist and guide were developed to aid reporting and assessment of non-pharmacological interventions. The aim of our study was to assess the completeness of describing invasive cardiology interventions in clinical trials at the level of trial registration and corresponding journal article publication. We searched for clinical trials in invasive cardiology registered in Clinicaltrials.gov and corresponding journal publications. We used the 10-item TIDieR checklist for registries and 12-item checklist for journal publications. Out of 7,017 registry items retrieved by our search, 301 items were included in the analysis. The search for corresponding published articles yielded 192 journal publications. The majority of trials were funded by the industry and were medical device trials. The median number of reported TIDieR items was 4.5 (95% CI 4.49-4.51) out of 10, and while the corresponding journal articles reported 6.5 (95% CI 6.0-6.5) out of 12 TIDieR items. Registration and reporting of invasive cardiology trials is often incomplete and adequate detailed description of the interventions is not provided. TIDieR checklist is an important tool which should be used to ensure rigorous reporting of non-pharmacological interventions in cardiology.

A Systematic Literature Review of Fashion, Sustainability, and Consumption Using a Mixed Methods Approach

With the growing global awareness of the environmental impact of clothing consumption, there has been a notable surge in the publication of journal articles dedicated to “fashion sustainability” in the past decade, specifically from 2010 to 2020. However, despite this wealth of research, many studies remain disconnected and fragmented due to varying research objectives, focuses, and approaches. Conducting a systematic literature review with a mixed methods research approach can help identify key research themes, trends, and developmental patterns, while also shedding light on the complexity of fashion, sustainability, and consumption. To enhance the literature review and analytical process, the current systematic literature review employed text mining techniques and bibliometric visualization tools, including RAKE, VOSviewer, and CitNetExplorer. The findings revealed an increase in the number of publications focusing on “fashion and sustainability” between 2010 and 2021. Most studies were predominantly conducted in the United States, with a specific focus on female consumers. Moreover, a greater emphasis was placed on non-sustainable cues rather than the sustainable cues. Additionally, a higher number of case studies was undertaken to investigate three fast-fashion companies. To enhance our knowledge and understanding of this subject, this article highlights several valuable contributions and provides recommendations for future research.

Bibliometric Analysis of Game Research Trends in Elementary Learning and Self-Regulated Learning Skill

Self-regulated learning is a skill that is important to be taught to students because this skill is useful in their learning environment management to achieve the best learning outcomes. Thus, teaching this ability as early as possible is better, such as in elementary school. One alternative way to introduce and teach this skill is through games. This study aims to capture the relevant previous research landscape regarding the use of games in elementary school learning and for self-regulated learning from 2020 to 2023 using bibliometric analysis with the help of the VOSviewer application. The Scopus database was used to search for data with the keywords "games", "self-regulated learning", "elementary education," and "primary education," which were then refined to become 196 journal article publications. From the results of this analysis, it was found that the trend of publications about the use of games in learning had appeared in 2020, but about self-regulated learning, game-based learning, and elementary/primary education had only appeared in 2021. The research focus can be divided into four major topics, namely: (1) the use of game and game-based learning in primary education, (2) child development, and (3) the use of technology used in primary school education. Surprisingly, there hasn’t been research on self-regulated learning in elementary education. Thus, further research and development on the topic can be done.

Therefore, this community service activity is carried out to equip teachers with an understanding of the systematics of an article, tricks for finding quality references, the use of grammar in writing scientific papers, strategies to avoid plagiarism traps, the style of journal templates, and the process of submitting articles. The methods of this community service are lectures and discussions. This activity was carried out online for 3 days, with 163 participants. Through the methods of activity above, participants can add insight into writing and submitting scientific articles, but participants have not yet produced scientific articles. Therefore, it is recommended that similar activities in the next period focus more on assisting participants to write articles, as well as assisting in the submission process and revision to the publication of articles in journals.

Rhetorical Functions of Articles in SINTA Accredited Journal

Background: 
 In the past ten years or so, the publication of research journal articles has been increasing and growing. The development is even more significant when the Higher Education in Circular Letter No.152 / E / T / 2012 requires article writing for students of all levels as one of the graduation requirements. The publication of articles, especially in English-language journals, is a challenge for Indonesian authors to be able to produce scientific papers that not only meet scientific rules but also linguistic rules in English.
 Methodology: 
 This study aims to see the function of rhetorical moves in English journal articles published in SINTA-accredited journals. The part of the article to be studied is focused on the Introduction which has the main role of providing general information about the research background. The rhetoric function of this article will show a series of texts that have a specific function in the Introduction. The sample of this study was taken from articles in the SINTA-accredited journals level 2 and written in English written by authors of non-English-language disciplines. Two articles were randomly selected from each journal so in total it amounted to 16 articles.
 Findings: 
 This study looks at what rhetorical functions were used, and the textuality of the rhetorical functions used in the Introduction to articles written and published in SINTA-accredited journals level 2. “Indicating the Structure of the Research Paper” and “Announcing Principal Findings” were the least two rhetorical functions stated by the authors in the Introduction section. Two articles in this study fulfil the textuality components but the rests fail to fulfill the textuality components.
 Conclusion: 
 Writing journal articles in English is a great challenge for Authors with an English as a foreign language (EFL) background. Language proficiency, academic language mastery, academic writing convention and mechanics awareness which include rhetorical functions and textuality might distract their content writing competence.
 Originality: 
 Many studies searched the rhetorical functions of postgraduate theses, journal articles, and thesis abstracts in English written by non-native English; however, research on journal articles by Indonesian journal publishers is limited.

Muhammadiyah Information Jurisprudence : A Guide Freedom of Expression in Maqoshid Sharia-Based Social Media

This study aims to find out the guidelines for freedom of expression on social media according to Muhammadiyah Information Fiqh and to know the limitations of freedom of expression on social media based on sharia maqosid in Muhammadiyah Information Fiqh. This research is a qualitative research in the form of library research. This research includes qualitative research which is research aimed at analyzing the research object holistically, descriptively without statistical analysis methods. The main object of this research is various basic principles or values ​​in Muhammadiyah Information Jurisprudence. The research approach used is a philosophical approach (philosophy of Islamic law). Because as we all know, Indonesia adheres to a civil law system where on the principle of legality it states that the applicable law is only written law, while producing a written law takes quite a long time to be heard and promulgated. Therefore this study aims to explore legal formulations regarding freedom of expression in Indonesian legal regulations; to know the effectiveness of Muhammadiyah Information Fiqh accommodation in the concept of freedom of expression in Indonesia. The presence of Maqoshid Syariah is expected to be able to regulate freedom of expression behavior in accordance with the principles of Islamic law. This specificity is what makes freedom of expression must be regulated separately outside the realm of positive law.
 To achieve this goal, research was carried out using normative methods with an Islamic legal philosophy approach, namely by exploring problems in social media, then identifying Muhammadiyah information fiqh and Islamic law canons based on maqasidu syari'ah. Finally, elaborating on Muhammadiyah information fiqh and Islamic law principles based on maqasidu syari'ah to answer as well as give direction in social media
 The targeted output is the publication of articles in national journals, namely the Al Istinbath Journal indexed by Sinta 2 or 3. At the end of this research it is hoped to be able to create a model of applicable rules that can bridge the gap or gap between the speed of technological development and the speed at which the government issues regulations

Publishing trends of journals and articles in Journal Citation Reports during the COVID-19 pandemic: a descriptive study

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the changes that occurred in journal and article publishing during the noncontact period that started in 2020 due to COVID-19.Methods: The integrated journal list in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2017–2021 and the search results of Web of Science were analyzed using pivot tables in Microsoft Excel. The articles, citations, impact factor (IF), publishers, open access (OA) status, and compound annual growth rate (CAGR) were investigated using the data.Results: The CAGRs of articles, citations, and IFs in JCR journals increased throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the increase in OA articles was accompanied by a decreasing share of subscription articles. The top 20 journals in JCR-SCIE (Science Citation Index Expanded), based on the number of articles, accepted OA policies and showed a strong influence, accounting for 7% to 9% of all articles. MDPI and Frontiers were OA publishers included among the top 10 publishers. Large publishers maintained their competitiveness through mergers and acquisitions with OA publishers. Due to the rapid distribution of OA and early access articles as part of the international response to overcome COVID-19, the CAGRs of citations and IFs increased more than that of articles, and the publication and use of journal articles have become more active.Conclusion: The publication and use trends in JCR journals analyzed herein will provide useful information for researchers’ selection of journals for article submission, analyses of research performance, and libraries’ journal subscription contracts.

Objects as Insights: R. H. Codrington’s ethnographic collections from Melanesia

The Revd Robert Henry Codrington (1830–1922) is best known today as one of the founding fathers of Melanesian anthropology. Having joined the Melanesian Mission in 1865, Codrington served as headmaster of its training college on Norfolk Island from 1867 until his retirement in 1887. From this base, he travelled regularly throughout the region, carrying out his official duties and pursuing (with what Nick Stanley characterizes as a remarkably humanist perspective) groundbreaking linguistic and anthropological research, especially in northern Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. From 1880 he began publishing articles in academic journals, and in 1891 the Clarendon Press issued his The Melanesians: Studies in their anthropology and folklore, which is widely regarded as the first systematic study of its kind. It was standard anthropological practice at the time to study and collect objects alongside, and as part of, information about other aspects of social and cultural life, but it is clear from his publications that Codrington had an especially developed interest in Melanesian art and material culture. As Stanley demonstrates in his very welcome new study, this interest lay behind and was made manifest in the extensive collections that Codrington amassed during his time in the Pacific. To begin with, he attempted to make systematic collections for, first, the Blackmore Museum in Salisbury (not far from the family home in Wroughton), and then for the British Museum. Neither of these attempts was particularly successful, however, as the museums’ curators would not tell him what they wanted or respond to what he had sent them.

The use of Messenger for research collaboration: An auto-ethnographic study.

The use of social media for the collaboration of academics has been increasing in recent years. However, there are no reported studies on using Messenger as a collaborative platform to write and publish journal articles and apply for research and development grants. We use an auto-ethnography to reflect on our experiences over the last 3 years, using Messenger as our medium for our ongoing collaborative research activities. Our results highlight the benefits and challenges of using social media for this engagement. The capabilities of Messenger, as opposed to traditional correspondence through email, have paved our preference to use this platform. We can engage in dynamic collaboration and focussed discussion with less formal communication conventions through Messenger. In addition, the extra features, including easy phone calls, sending links, resources and screenshots, and using emojis and stickers for more socially cohesive interactions, are valued features of Messenger. We used the activity theory to highlight the interrelationships of factors (i.e., personal, social-emotional, structural, technological, and organisational) contributing to the success of collaborative academic activities, including the successful publication of journal articles and securing research and development grants. The findings of our study significantly contribute to understanding how social media can be effectively used for academic engagement.

Exploring Jigsaw Writing for Journal Writing (JWJA)

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) is obtained through the lecturers’ effort to engage in teaching and research. SoTL puts teaching and research as belonging to a symbiotic relationship. To improve teaching, there should be research. The end product of a research is publication in journals. So, why aren’t lecturers writing in journals? Lack of time to write and lack of knowledge of the writing process are two main reasons why lecturers in higher institutions are not actively writing for journals. Writing for a journal article is no doubt an academic writing and many lecturers have gone through postgraduate studies where they have submitted thesis in the form of academic writing. Some even teach academic writing to students. So, why is it still difficult for lecturers to write academic articles for journals? This study is done to introduce an interesting way of teaching lecturers to write journal articles for publication in journals. This quantitative study explores the concept of jigsaw writing for lecturers. This approach explores team writing using colours as scaffolds. 139 participants participated in this one cycle of jigsaw writing for journal writing project. At the end of the cycle, the participants responded to a survey that contains items on the writing process and team work. Findings revealed that the JWJA approach gave writers a springboard to writing through the planning, and team-work; as well as, the use of coloured scaffolds. The findings bear interesting implications towards team-writing among academicians. Future research could look into how to motivate academicians to writer academic papers.

Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of the Scientific Literature on Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS) for Pain Treatment

Background: Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) is a minimally invasive peripheral neuromodulation approach implemented against chronic neuropathic and mixed pain. This bibliometric study aims to quantitatively evaluate the output of PENS for pain treatment in the scientific literature. The main purpose is to stimulate research in the field and bridge potential scientific gaps. Methods: Articles were retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database. The search key term was “percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (All Fields) and pain (All Fields)”. Year of publication, journal metrics (impact factor and quartile, Q), title, document type, topic, and citations were extracted. The join-point regression was implemented to assess differences in time points for the publication output. The software tool VOSviewer (version 1.6.17) was used for the visual analysis. Results: One thousand three hundred and eighteen articles were included in the knowledge visualization process. A linear upward trend for annual new publications was found. Almost two-thirds of the documents were published in top-ranked journals (Q1 and Q2). The topic “efficacy” was prevalent (12.81%). Concerning article type, the search strategy yielded 307 clinical investigations (23.3%). Articles were cited 36,610 times with a mean of 42.4 citations per article. Approximately one-half of the articles were cited less than 23 times in a range of 21 years. The semantic network analysis for keywords found eight clusters. The analysis of collaborative efforts among researchers showed five thematic clusters including 102 authors with a minimum of five documents produced in collaborations. Most partnerships involved the United States, England, and Germany. Conclusions: despite the upward trend in the number of publications on the subject and the publication of articles in top-ranked journals, there is a need to increase scientific collaborations between researchers and institutions from different countries.
