Unveiling Global Trends in Reactive and Proactive Aggression: A Cutting-Edge Bibliometric Analysis

This bibliometric mapping discusses the research landscape of proactive and reactive aggression, key authors, collaborative networks, and trends in scholarly publishing for the past two decades. The study, using tools like VOSviewer, shows important patterns in co-authorship, citation networks, and keyword co-occurrence. The leading personalities include Adrian Raine, Paula J. Fite, Richard E. Tremblay, and Paul J. Frick. Heavy contributors to the knowledge about aggression from biological, psychological, and developmental perspectives are identified. Co-authorship is intense, especially on topics dealing with neuro-criminology, childhood and adolescent behavior, and the role of psychopathy in violent behavior. The analysis shows that from the year 2009, the publication of works has grown rapidly to their peak in the year 2022, reflecting an upward spiral of interest and interdisciplinary research on aggression. Dominant keywords like "aggression," "reactive," "proactive," "psychopathy," and "conduct disorder" point to the core themes of research on emotional regulation, developmental trajectories, and clinical interventions. This review has come to a close that studies in the field of aggression have now developed into a multi-disciplinary science, embracing neuroscience, psychology, criminology, and social science knowledge to further advance the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of aggressive behavior and develop various treatments. Future research will have to go on filling in areas of investigation that are underrepresented, including but not limited to aggression at the interface with particular demographic variables and newer approaches to intervention.

Computable bibliography: Using data analysis and data visualization to characterize a bibliography

The Scopus database, which includes many open-access items, conference papers, funding details, and patent linkages, has developed as a vital resource within the dynamic social and economic environment. Gaining popularity in several fields, systematic reviews synthesize the relevant research literature in order to guide deliberative judgments. However, researchers require assistance in keeping up with the ever-increasing multidisciplinary nature of work and the ever-changing nature of information. Researchers need efficient methods to navigate and leverage the wealth of available knowledge for their systematic review processes as the number of scholarly production grows tremendously. This study employs descriptive statistics to examine and graphically present the bibliography (the list of sources cited in the text). This study was conducted in Dr. Jodi Schneider's lab and aims to identify trends in scholarly publishing and evaluate the overall content of scholarly works. Publication dates, item types, author lists, titles, and keywords are examined in the analysis, which takes CSV(Comma Separated Values), BibTeX, or RIS formats as input. Emerging research fields and patterns of collaboration can be better understood with the help of the descriptive statistics generated. Word clouds also help readers evaluate the quality and topic focus of the papers by providing a visual assessment of the paper's composition.

Evolving Trends in Scholarly Publishing and Impact on the Monotony of Predators

Open access (OA) journals have emerged in the past two decades and have influenced scholarly publications to a great extent, contributing to the benefits of OA publishing. The research focuses on the evolving trends of OA and the measures required to address the issue of exponentially growing predatory publishing. The study concludes the research by proposing measures for the scholarly world to address predatory publishing globally. The scope of the research is qualitative, discussing the fair publishing practices and implications of Plan S and open peer review. In the methodology, the study reviews the wealth of published literature in the discipline to decide the variables and impact on the dependent variable.

Amplifying Your Message 101: Social Media to Promote Yourself and Others

For scholarly publishing professionals, social media is one of the most valuable tools we have to promote our organizations, journals, authors, editors, reviewers, and our communities at large. For no cost, we can cultivate audiences across the world to amplify our important messages near and far. We can also use these same tools to showcase our own talents and strengths to further our careers. Let’s examine the social media outlets commonly used in our field and how to best use them to promote both those we serve and ourselves. Twitter It’s no secret that Twitter is my favorite social media tool as an individual professional. I rely on Twitter for a myriad of work-related uses. I wholeheartedly recommend that anyone in the field of scholarly publishing have an account and immediately start following coworkers, community members of their own organizations, colleagues at other organizations (CSE, Society for Scholarly Publishing [SSP], Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers [ALPSP], International Society for Managing and Technical Editors [ISMTE], etc.), and anyone and everyone who has something valuable to say about publishing, science, and the world at large. I learn at least one new thing from Twitter every single day of the year. Twitter keeps me sharp and allows me access to knowledge that makes me better at my job. Here’s where I find value as an individual Twitter user: Keeping up with scholarly publishing trends and news. Thanks to Twitter, I keep up with the latest information related to Open Access, preprint […]

Social Media Marketing of Qualitative Research: Blurring Commerce and Community

Scholarly publishers who market their products through social media expect few direct sales. If so, why then do scholarly publishers invest so much in promoting their products through concerted social marketing campaigns? By emphasizing their information-sharing and collegiality functions on social media, publishers mask the commercial nature of the scholarly publishing industry. This idea is developed by tracing the history of marketing scholarly works, particularly in qualitative research, and by outlining the various social marketing strategies used by scholarly publishers. These include providing additional content to social media followers, representing the press as part of the academic community, engaging authors to market their own works, and mimicking academic language patterns and rhythms. Current trends in scholarly publishing will only serve to further blur this boundary between commerce and community.

Attitudes toward Open Access, Open Peer Review, and Altmetrics among Contributors to Spanish Scholarly Journals

This paper aims for a better understanding of the perspectives of contributors to Spanish academic journals regarding open access, open peer review, and altmetrics. Specifically, it explores how age, gender, years of professional experience, and perception and use of social media influence authors’ opinions of these developments in scholarly publishing. A sample of 295 contributors to Spanish academic journals participated in a survey about the aforementioned topics. They were found to hold a favourable opinion of open access but were more cautious about open peer review and altmetrics. The responses of younger and female scholars indicated more reluctance to accept open peer review practices. A positive attitude toward social networks did not necessarily translate into enthusiasm for emerging trends in scholarly publishing. Despite this, ResearchGate users were more aware of altmetrics.

A Publisher Perspective: How One Publisher is Responding to the Changing World of Scholarly Communication

For this talk, Marks was tasked with summarizing the important trends in scholarly publishing in 45 minutes. The speaker reflected on the rapid changes that have occurred in journal publishing, which followed more than 300 years of relatively slow progress. Marks discussed key technology trends such as data curation, Open Access (OA) mandates, and the changes occurring in the global landscape of scholarly communications and library budgets. Wolters Kluwer Health has been responding to these trends with new publishing experiments including a Platinum OA model in emerging markets. Marks discussed the ways that publishers and libraries need to alter their traditional practices and instill a focus on their customers and communities.

Scholarly communications competencies: open access training for librarians

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe one example of an academic library using existing internal expertise and targeted events to provide training for liaison librarians in support of new scholarly communication initiatives. Design/methodology/approach – This article presents a case study of how a medium-size academic library without a designated scholarly communications librarian or office presented a series of open access (OA) training opportunities for the liaison librarians in preparation for the official launch of the institutional repository and the campus’ inaugural participation in OA week. Findings – The multiple opportunities to engage with the topics in diverse ways resulted in librarians being more comfortable with discussing OA with their departmental faculty. Opinions of OA were changed as a result of attending the events. Participants found the activities to be useful and were engaged enough with the topic to ask for specific areas where they would like more training opportunities. Look to other colleagues both on campus and in the broader region to tap their expertise or explore professional organizations or free webinars. Taking the initiative to organize events that require minimal effort can have a big impact. Practical implications – Librarians have limited opportunity for in-depth training to gain new competencies and re-tool their skills to match current demands; this article demonstrates that utilizing internal expertise to provide a variety of training can positively impact participants’ attitudes and confidence. Originality/value – This article presents methods and rationale for librarians to facilitate similar professional development opportunities for building new scholarly communication competencies in support of the emerging research and scholarly publishing trends.

The Journal of Physiology Annual Report 2013–14:Another year of progress

We have just completed another busy and fruitful year for The Journal of Physiology as we continue our mission to promote excellence in the communication of physiology to the world. The Journal is without international boundaries, and below is a summary of where we have recently been, and where we plan to go in 2014–15. We value the support of our readers and those who publish their outstanding findings with us. At the beginning of 2013, The Journal of Physiology Consulting Editor Carol Robinson FRS was made a Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE) for Services to Science and Industry. She is widely recognised for her ground-breaking research in mass spectrometry and as a role model for women scientists. In the 2014 New Year Honours list, Peter Ratcliffe FRS, another of The Journal's esteemed Consulting Editors, was awarded a knighthood for his services to clinical medicine. Sir Peter is Head of the Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine based at the Henry Wellcome Building for Molecular Physiology in Oxford. His laboratory works on understanding the mechanisms by which cells sense and signal hypoxia. In 2013 we published a paper based on the Annual Review Prize Lecture which Peter delivered at Physiology 2012 (the annual meeting of The Physiological Society), Edinburgh, UK, 4 July 2012.

Acquiring and accessing serials information – the electronic intermediary

Intermediaries of various sorts have been key players in helping libraries in access to, and the acquisition of, serials. Subscription agents have been prominent, with a strong tradition in the print environment. They have developed additional services for libraries that focus on using automation to meet this objective, starting with serials management software and links to their databases in the 1980s, through to electronic journal services today. Intermediaries have a wider role in providing services in the area of electronic journals, to publishers as well as libraries. Current trends in scholarly publishing include the growth of alternative publishing initiatives. A key development at present is the growth of linking, including reference linking between publishers and the linking activities of intermediaries. The recent growth of library consortia in various countries has had an impact on library purchasing methods, and hence on the role and services of subscription agents. In this respect Swets Blackwell has been active as the managing agent in the UK NESLI Project.

Trends In Scholarly Publishing

Two forces of change are at work in the academic serials publishing industry. One is the increase in the number of papers and in journal cover prices, to levels where the publication process effectively rations distribution. Secondly, information communications technology has the potential to allow radically different forms of publication. Already some academic groups have begun to publish (unrefereed) papers on pre-print servers operating over the Internet, a publishing model with many inherent problems.
