This study aims to analyze user satisfaction with the website of Zahira Media Publisher, a publishing company that has been operating since 2012. Using a descriptive analysis method and a quantitative approach, this study collected data through a questionnaire designed based on the End User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS) model. The five main variables analyzed include content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness of information. The results showed that the quality of content and the accuracy of information greatly influenced user satisfaction. In addition, the ease of use of the website is also an important factor that improves user experience. that improves user experience. Although the Zahira Media Publisher website offers a wide range of publishing services, there are some obstacles, especially in the process of registering new user accounts, which can hinder access to key features. This research provides recommendations for improvements in website design and functionality to increase user satisfaction and customer loyalty.

Identification of retracted publications and completeness of retraction notices in public health

ObjectivesRetraction is intended to be a mechanism to correct the published body of knowledge when necessary due to fraudulent, fatally flawed, or ethically unacceptable publications. However, the success of this mechanism requires that retracted publications be consistently identified as such and that retraction notices contain sufficient information to understand what is being retracted and why. Our study investigated how clearly and consistently retracted publications in public health are being presented to researchers. Study Design and SettingThis is a cross-sectional study, using 441 retracted research publications in the field of public health. Records were retrieved for each of these publications from 11 resources, while retraction notices were retrieved from publisher websites and full-text aggregators. The identification of the retracted status of the publication was assessed using criteria from the Committee on Publication Ethics and the National Library of Medicine. The completeness of the associated retraction notices was assessed using criteria from Committee on Publication Ethics and Retraction Watch. ResultsTwo thousand eight hundred forty-one records for retracted publications were retrieved, of which less than half indicated that the article had been retracted. Less than 5% of publications were identified as retracted through all resources through which they were available. Within single resources, if and how retracted publications were identified varied. Retraction notices were frequently incomplete, with no notices meeting all the criteria. ConclusionsThe observed inconsistencies and incomplete notices pose a threat to the integrity of scientific publishing and highlight the need to better align with existing best practices to ensure more effective and transparent dissemination of information on retractions.

The reception of post-Soviet Russian fiction through the peritexts of Finnish translations

ABSTRACT This article is based on research addressing the reception of post-Soviet Russian fiction in the twenty-first century (2000–2023) through Finnish translations and the notions of Russia and Russian literature mediated through them. The investigation of translated fiction draws on imagology, i.e. the study of images and cross-national perceptions in literary representations. Focusing on the peritexts, a subcategory of paratexts coined by Genette (1987/1997), the article investigates book cover texts and publishers’ descriptions of the translated works to find out how the translations are received and introduced to readers of the target culture. The translations comprise 101 books, first translated during 2000–2023. The peritexts were retrieved directly from the printed books or using the search service Finna.fi and publisher websites. The analysis was conducted with help of a computer-assisted qualitative data analysis tool, designed to support inductive, data-driven qualitative analysis. As a result of the analysis, three thematic groups emerging from the peritexts were identified: 1) the portrayal of the (Soviet) Russian past and post-Soviet society as grim, insane and tragic, 2) the emphasis on realism and truthfulness of the image of Russia conveyed by the translations, and 3) praise of the authors’ literary skills.

Open Access Publication in Total Ankle Arthroplasty Literature Is Associated With Increased Social Media Attention, but Not Increased Citations.

Open access (OA) publications are increasingly common in orthopaedic literature. However, whether OA publications are associated with increased readership or citations among total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) literature is unclear. We hypothesize that compared with non-OA status, OA status is associated with increased social media dissemination, and readership, but not with citation count. This study aimed to analyze social media attention, citations, readership, and cost of TAA OA and non-OA publications. Using a PubMed query search, there were 368 publications from 81 journals, with 25% (91/368) being OA articles and 75% (277/368) non-OA articles from 2016 to 2023. We analyzed the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS), Mendeley readership score, and citations between OA vs non-OA articles. Citations and cost of OA articles were determined using an altered timeline and publisher's website, respectively. Subgroup analysis was performed among articles published in the top 5 TAA journals (Tables 2 and 3). Negative binomial regression was used while adjusting for days since publication. Significance was considered at P <.05. OA publication was associated with a larger mean AAS score (8.7 ± 37.0 vs 4.8 ± 26.3), Mendeley readership (42.4 ± 41.6 vs 34.9 ± 25.7), and Twitter mentions (4.6 ± 7.4 vs 3.3 ± 8.1), but not citations (19.7 ± 24.8 vs 20.3 ± 23.5) (Table 1). TAA OA publications and top 5 journals were associated with significantly increased social media attention but not Mendeley readership or citation counts.

Differentially Private Ad Conversion Measurement

In this work, we study ad conversion measurement, a central functionality in digital advertising, where an advertiser seeks to estimate advertiser website (or mobile app) conversions attributed to ad impressions that users have interacted with on various publisher websites (or mobile apps). Using differential privacy (DP), a notion that has gained in popularity due to its strong mathematical guarantees, we develop a formal framework for private ad conversion measurement. In particular, we define the notion of an operationally valid configuration of the attribution rule, DP adjacency relation, contribution bounding scope and enforcement point. We then provide, for the set of configurations that most commonly arises in practice, a complete characterization, which uncovers a delicate interplay between attribution and privacy.

Effects of open access publishing on article metrics in Neuropsychopharmacology.

Neuropsychopharmacology (NPP) offers the option to publish articles in different tiers of an open access (OA) publishing system: Green, Bronze, or Hybrid. Green articles follow a standard access (SA) subscription model, in which readers must pay a subscription fee to access article content on the publisher's website. Bronze articles are selected at the publisher's discretion and offer free availability to readers at the same article processing charge (APC) as Green articles. Hybrid articles are fully OA, but authors pay an increased APC to ensure public access. Here, we aimed to determine whether publishing tier affect the impact and reach of scientific articles in NPP. A sample of 6000 articles published between 2001-2021 were chosen for the analysis. Articles were separated by article type and publication year. Citation counts and Altmetric scores were compared between the three tiers. Bronze articles received significantly more citations than Green and Hybrid articles overall. However, when analyzed by year, Bronze and Hybrid articles received comparable citation counts within the past decade. Altmetric scores were comparable between all tiers, although this effect varied by year. Our findings indicate that free availability of article content on the publisher's website is associated with an increase in citations of NPP articles but may only provide a moderate boost in Altmetric score. Overall, our results suggest that easily accessible article content is most often cited by readers, but that the higher APCs of Hybrid tier publishing may not guarantee increased scholarly or social impact.

Evaluasi kegiatan seleksi koleksi perpustakaan sebagai pemenuhan kebutuhan informasi dosen di lingkungan UIN Imam Bonjol Padang

Lecturers are involved in the collection selection process prior to procurement. There are various ways of selecting collections such as using publisher catalogs, publisher websites, user suggestions, google forms, syllabus. The purpose of this study was to find out the collection selection process carried out by the Library UPT UIN Imam Bonjol Padang, the response of lecturers in the selection process, and the fulfillment of lecturers' information needs regarding the selection results. This research is descriptive quantitative in nature. The author will describe the collection selection process along with lecturer responses and to fulfill information needs. Then the number of fulfillment of lecturers' information needs on collection proposals is described in percentage form. The results showed that only a small proportion of lecturers (12.2%) of the participating lecturers responded to the collection proposals by filling out the Google form, Google Doc, document files, syllabus delivery and course distribution. UPT Library UIN Imam Bonjol Padang can fulfill most (73.5%) of the proposed collection. Libraries need to increase promotion related to proposing collections to lecturers. Collaboration with the academic and student affairs divisions as well as TIPD needs to be improved to obtain syllabus data and distribution of courses for collection selection

Exploring Team Role Typologies and Taxonomies

The field of team role typologies and taxonomies is characterized by a lack of conceptual clarity and dominance of a single primary source. This study aims to shed light on the relationships between authors of team role typologies/taxonomies by conducting a systematic literature analysis. The focus is on analyzing authors listed in articles specifically addressing team roles. The resulting analysis provides a list of authors of typologies or taxonomies of team roles as a preparation for further phases of our research. The methodology employed involves a literature review. The selection of articles was based on the Scopus database, with additional searches conducted on publisher websites and ResearchGate to ensure comprehensive coverage. Advanced lexical search software facilitated the identification of authors associated with typologies and taxonomies. The study presents a waypoint list of probably relevant authors for further analysis. Furthermore, the potential of AI tools in literature review and the use of applications for creating schematic maps based on bibliographic records are discussed, with a promise of further investigation in future studies. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive summary of authors involved in the development of team role typologies and taxonomies, providing a foundation for future research to validate and expand upon the identified author relationships. It emphasizes the need to explore the diverse approaches in this field, while also recognizing the significant influence of seminal figures such as M. Belbin. By unraveling the complexities of author relationships, this study paves the way for deeper insights into team dynamics and roles within organizations.

Patterns of co-first and co-last authorship in cancer phase 3 trials.

50 Background: Phase 3 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for efficacy in cancer treatment, and the resulting manuscripts carry great weight for clinical practice and for the authors themselves. First/last authorship on high-impact publications is a frequently used metric for promotion and identification of leadership of subsequent studies. Co-first/last (joint) authorship has become more common in many fields; the patterns of joint authorship in cancer phase 3 RCT publications are relatively unexamined. Methods: We identified all phase 3 RCTs published between 1998-2023 in the HemOnc knowledge base as of April 25, 2023. Joint authorship was identified through a combination of parsing PubMed structured data and scraping publisher websites for common phrases e.g., “contributed equally”. The identified manuscripts were matched by year and reference type (primary efficacy reports vs all others) 1:1 to those without joint authorship. Results: Out of N=3911 manuscripts meeting criteria, we identified 382 (10%) with joint authorship (Table). The incidence of joint authorship increased from 1/98 manuscripts published in 1998 to 34/194 (17.5%) in 2022. Manuscripts with joint authorship had a median (range) of 3 (3-13) co-first/last authors, with 54 (14%) having both co-first and co-last authors. Jointly-authored manuscripts had a median (IQR) of 21 authors (17-29) vs 20 (15-23) for matched manuscripts, p&lt;0.001. Of 970 unique authors who had ³1 joint authorship, the most common country of affiliation was China (254, 26%) followed by US (195, 20%); in the matched manuscripts, 243/672 (36%) first/last authors were based in the US, followed by France (65, 10%). Joint authors with known gender were more likely to be women vs matched non-joint first/last authors (OR 1.28, 95% CI 0.99-1.66). Joint authors in an ordinal position other than first or last had a less extensive publication record as of 2023, median (IQR) of 5 (2-11) phase 3 publications vs 4 (2-9), p&lt;0.001. Conclusions: Joint authorship in phase 3 cancer RCTs is uncommon but has increased over the past 25 years. Based on the less extensive publication record of non-first/last joint authors, promotion of relatively junior investigators may play a role in joint authorship decisions. Societal factors may also play a role, as evidenced by the discrepancy between US-based joint and non-joint authors. While not statistically significant, a trend towards more women in joint authorship roles is notable. Further examination of the impact of joint authorship on career trajectory and subsequent trial leadership opportunities is warranted. [Table: see text]

Editorial: Contributing to the Growth of Scientific Journals in Ethiopia

Since the Ethiopian Journal of Reproductive Health (EJRH) was launched in 2007, it has undergone a series of changes. For the first 10 years after its inception, our journal used to be published only once a year, which was even at times difficult to sustain.With the goal of improving both the quality and quantity of the research we publish every year, in 2017, in collaboration with the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) and a financial support from the Center for Reproductive Health Training (CIRHT) we conducted a landscape study to find out the major challenges of the Journal.Following the findings and recommendations of this study, we have been able to make major changes to the scientific publication. Among these changes are the numbers of volumes we publish per year- which grew to four times, the launching of its own automated manuscript processing and publishing website- https://ejrh.org/, the training of staff and editorial board members, the adoption of a comprehensive editorial policy, inclusion in Scopus and African Journals Online and recognition by the Ministry of Education.As you go through our July, 2023, volume, one of the articles you find is entitled - Evaluation of the Quality of Ethiopian Journal of Reproductive Health. This manuscript is compiled based on the landscape study conducted back in 2017.As our readers go through the conclusions and recommendations of this study, it might appear inconsistent with the current status of our publication. We decided to publish this article, even though it contrasts to the current reality of EJRH, because it would help other upcoming new scientific journals in their struggle to become a better platform for the scientific community they serve. We hope this study will inspire the same change in other scientific journals as it did to our Journal. I invite you to enjoy reading this and other articles with important findings to our practice.

Design of tables for the presentation and communication of data in ecological and evolutionary biology.

Tables and charts have long been seen as effective ways to convey data. Much attention has been focused on improving charts, following ideas of human perception and brain function. Tables can also be viewed as two-dimensional representations of data; yet, it is only fairly recently that we have begun to apply principles of design that aid the communication of information between the author and reader. In this study, we collated guidelines for the design of data and statistical tables. These guidelines fall under three principles: aiding comparisons, reducing visual clutter, and increasing readability. We surveyed tables published in recent issues of 43 journals in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology for their adherence to these three principles, as well as author guidelines on journal publisher websites. We found that most of the over 1000 tables we sampled had no heavy grid lines and little visual clutter. They were also easy to read, with clear headers and horizontal orientation. However, most tables did not aid the vertical comparison of numeric data. We suggest that authors could improve their tables by the right-flush alignment of numeric columns typeset with a tabular font, clearly identify statistical significance, and use clear titles and captions. Journal publishers could easily implement these formatting guidelines when typesetting manuscripts.

Comparison of the efficacy of hot saline irrigation and tranexamic acid on Boezaart score, intraoperative blood loss, and duration of surgery in functional endoscopic sinus surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Link of Video Abstract: https://youtu.be/wEp6PioGVqw Background: Hot saline irrigation and tranexamic acid are techniques used to control bleeding during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Hot saline irrigation and tranexamic acid can help control bleeding originating from microvascular located in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. This study aims to compare the efficacy of these two techniques on Boezaart score, intraoperative blood loss, and duration of surgery in functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Methods: This study is an intervention meta-analysis, the research formulated based on the population, intervention, comparison, outcome, and study design (PICOS). Articles were searched from five databases, including PubMed Central and publisher websites, Cochrane Library, ResearchGate, SAGE Journals, and Web of Science. There were no publication year or publication status restrictions on the selected research articles, and the date of the last search was up to February 2023. The efficacy of hot saline irrigation as a bleeding control method compared to tranexamic acid was assessed based on Boezaart surgical field score, intraoperative bleeding, and duration of surgery in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Results: A total of 532 research articles were identified, and fifteen articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. Hot saline irrigation p-value p=0.0002 and for tranexamic acid p=&lt;0.00001 based on Boezaart score. Hot saline irrigation p= 0.0001 and tranexamic acid had a p= 0.0002 based on the Intraoperative blood loss, but the standardized mean difference in the hot saline irrigation group was smaller compared to the tranexamic acid topical group. Hot saline irrigation p=0.06 and tranexamic acid p=0.13 for duration of surgery. Conclusion: This meta-analysis showed that the administration of tranexamic acid or hot saline irrigation could significantly reduce duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss and improved surgical feld quality compared with room temperature saline irrigation. There is no statistically significant difference between tranexamic acid topical and hot saline irrigation.

Women in Homeopathy.

As stated on our publisher's website, “More women than ever before are choosing to pursue careers in both medicine and medical research; however, a gender gap still exists. According to the UN, women make up 70% of health and social care workers, but only 37% of first authors on medical research articles. At Thieme, we believe the key to closing the gender gap in medicine is to uplift women's voices”.[1] Thieme has therefore created its Women in Medicine collection, “which aims to highlight and celebrate the work and contributions to medicine by female-identifying people from around the world”. Our journal is supporting this important project through its connected Women in Homeopathy collection, available to view via the Authors tab on the homepage. Akin to the format of a Virtual Special Issue, its content is articles published in Homeopathy from 2022 onward that have prominently female authorship. We hope that the new online collection adds encouragement to women to continue in homeopathy research and to submit ever more work to the journal.

The Effect of Immersive Learning on Students' Cognitive and Affective Aspects

Deep learning or what is known as "Immersive Learning" is becoming an issue that is being studied a lot because of the application of technology in the process. The role of technology in this case is utilized to realize deep learning. Immersive Learning is applied by several methods, including online and blended. However, there are not many research articles that explicitly focus on Immersive Learning. Therefore, for the purpose of this review, several academic articles dealing with the specific topic of immersive learning have been selected and studied. Several topics have been searched using keywords related to immersive learning on academic search engines such as Springer, and Google Scholar, as well as on several other reputable academic journal publishing websites. The articles reviewed were sixteen articles published in the last five years. Based on the results of the article review, it can be concluded that immersive learning not only has a negative impact, but also has a positive impact on students' cognitive and affective aspects. Cognitive aspects include understanding and other academic abilities, while affective aspects include self-efficacy, motivation, and student attitudes towards subjects at school. With this review, it is hoped that teachers and educators will pay more attention to the positive and negative effects of this immersive learning process, so that they can optimize the learning outcomes obtained by students from the learning process, especially Natural Science subjects.

An open automation system for predatory journal detection

The growing number of online open-access journals promotes academic exchanges, but the prevalence of predatory journals is undermining the scholarly reporting process. Data collection, feature extraction, and model prediction are common steps in tools designed to distinguish between legitimate and predatory academic journals and publisher websites. The authors include them in their proposed academic journal predatory checking (AJPC) system based on machine learning methods. The AJPC data collection process extracts 833 blacklists and 1213 whitelists information from websites to be used for identifying words and phrases that might indicate the presence of predatory journals. Feature extraction is used to identify words and terms that help detect predatory websites, and the system’s prediction stage uses eight classification algorithms to distinguish between potentially predatory and legitimate journals. We found that enhancing the classification efficiency of the bag of words model and TF-IDF algorithm with diff scores (a measure of differences in specific word frequencies between journals) can assist in identifying predatory journal feature words. Results from performance tests suggest that our system works as well as or better than those currently being used to identify suspect publishers and publications. The open system only provides reference results rather than absolute opinions and accepts user inquiries and feedback to update the system and optimize performance.

Do graphical abstracts on a publisher's official website have an effect on articles' usage and citations? A propensity score matching analysis

AbstractThis study aimed to examine whether a graphical abstract (GA) on a publisher's official website affected an article's usage and citations. Articles published in Molecules during 2016 (n = 1389) and 2017 (n = 1804) were selected as the data sets. Propensity score matching analysis was conducted to examine the data sets. The results showed that articles with GAs had significantly greater text abstract usage than those without GAs. There were no significant differences between the two groups (articles with/without GAs) on the usage of the full text as well as citations, both in the data set of 2016 and the data set of 2017. Our study concluded that a GA played a role in attracting attention with ‘the first impressions’ to gain more clicks of text abstract for an article, however, it took no advantage in receiving more usage of full text and citations of the article.
