Search For Scientific Information Research Articles

Building a Standard Model of an Information System for Working with Documents on Scientific and Educational Activities

To increase the effectiveness of research, it is necessary to have access to systematic information resources of scientific work. Therefore, in any field of science, it begins with research, the search for scientific information, but with the growing number of scientific articles, books, monographs, patents, the search for information becomes more and more difficult. Creating a unified information system that allows scientists to quickly get acquainted with the results of other scientific research and prevent their duplication. The article discusses the technological techniques of distributed information systems that provide scientific and educational activities. The main tasks of creating a model of a distributed information system that supports scientific and educational activities, the functional capabilities of the model, the concept of metadata and the requirements for the metadata profile are described. The task, subject area, subjects, objects, the main functionality of the information system are defined, a list of the main types of information resources is provided. The paper analyzes the functional requirements for such systems. The paper describes a technological approach to creating a standard model of an information system to support scientific and educational activities organized in the form of an electronic library for working with documents on scientific heritage. The article describes the architecture of the information system and the principles of integration with the digital depository, the rules for the presentation and transformation of metadata.

Fortalezas y debilidades de las principales bases de datos de información científica desde una perspectiva bibliométrica

En el presente trabajo se estudian las bases de datos de información científica más relevantes a nivel regional e internacional desde la perspectiva de sus características y funcionalidades. El objetivo principal consiste en identificar las fortalezas y debilidades de estas fuentes secundarias mediante el análisis de sus capacidades de indexación, cobertura, interoperabilidad y búsqueda y recuperación de información científica para la actividad bibliométrica. A partir de la observación y acopio de información desde los portales web de cada base evaluada, se desarrollan dos tablas diseñadas ad hoc que permiten el análisis y la comparación de su desempeño en función de una serie de dimensiones que van desde lo formal (origen, propósito, alcance) hasta lo funcional (acceso, formato, calidad). Se reflexiona sobre el aporte que estas fuentes pueden realizar a la construcción de matrices que permitan elaborar y calcular indicadores para la evaluación de la actividad científica. Se observa una marcada tendencia de los sistemas hacia el servicio de búsqueda y recuperación para la investigación bibliográfica, sin valor añadido para la reutilización de los datos de los registros recuperados. Se concluye que la mayoría de los sistemas estudiados requieren un importante trabajo de reestructuración y enriquecimiento de los registros para que sus servicios de exportación de datos constituyan verdaderas herramientas para la investigación bibliométrica.

The search for scientific information in academic databases

This article has the objective of socializing reflections that allow us to know about the search for information in academic databases, for which an analysis of the different databases, which are found in the great global information network as it is the WEB. It is based on a methodological strategy that, with a predominance of the qualitative perspective, makes it possible to describe and explain the importance of managing this type of resources for the good use of time when searching for information, identifying the technology tools and their uses in research tasks, through the use of a variety of methods, procedures and techniques for collecting information, with emphasis on bibliographic and documentary review, historical-logical and synthetic analytical methods, as well as observation. As a result, broad and enriching reflections and explanations on the subject in question are obtained, which can be useful for reorienting information search strategies and the benefit they provide to researchers in their different research activities.

THE EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE PICO STRATEGY APPLIED TO DENTISTRY USING MESH, EMTREE AND DECS

Introduction: the PICO mnemonic is an evidence-based medicine tool that helps formulate the research questions needed to conduct the right search for scientific information. To properly classify this information, controlled languages or thesauruses are used for information retrieval. The aim was to identify whether the PICO search strategy in evidence-based medicine using the MeSH, Emtree and DeCS thesauruses answers a research question in the field of dentistry. Methods: to carry out the PICO strategy, a research question was formulated, identifying the natural language terms for each component of the PICO acronym, which were normalized into the three thesauruses to create the search equations. Results: 43 results were foundon Medline through PubMed, 5 on Embase, and 0 on LILACS. There were 4 original articles that answer the research question, proving to be an effective strategy for finding clinical evidence. Conclusion: this study shows that the strategy helps obtain results to answer the question posed. It should be noted that, in order to successfully search and retrieve information, researchers should use the PICO strategy and get familiar with the thesauruses that help structure search equations in the various bibliographic databases.

Computer model of accounting of the scientific activity of the education system

The work is devoted to the review and analysis of resources of scientific information, the study of the possibilities of developing additional information arrays based on existing sources of scientific and scientometric information. As part of the work, approaches are proposed for storing scientometric information, methods for obtaining data, which will optimize the time of working with information and attract less resources for the implementation of work on the search for scientific information and its subsequent processing. The result of the work is a computer model that provides the ability to store scientific information in the database, as well as the use of various functions as a database administrator and user rights through the developed client C ++. The offered model of accounting for scientific activity has the following functional capabilities of software modules: introduction of new and removal of outdated information into a database; submitting information based on some criteria. The architecture of a computer model consists of such software modules as the user role definition module, the database administrator module, and the user module. The model works with information arrays, which are formed on the basis of resources and contain bibliometric and scientometric information and can act as parameters that be able to influence decision making and expand the range of possible cooperation of scientists. The application of the developed computer model allows organizing a flexible search for scientific information in the field of education.

Systematization and development of the provisions for statement of lean synchronization accounting of cash flow from operating activities of industrial enterprises

The object of research is the components of lean accounting of cash from operating activities in their interaction, taking into account the focus on minimizing losses in the system of lean management. On the organizational side, it is reasoned to revise the composition of the accounting service employees by coordinating interaction with the staff within the limits of their duties and the level of professional competence. On the methodical aspect, the use of lean manufacturing methods (Standard Operating Procedure, Value Stream Mapping, Poka-Yoke, 5 S, Just-in-Time, Visual Management, Single Minute Exchange of Dies) in conjunction with the methods of strategic management accounting (ABC, XYZ , RFM, FMR, VEN, QRS) while observing the methods of financial accounting. On the technological aspect, it is proved expedient to develop internal standards of the enterprise for setting lean accounting of cash flow synchronization from the operating activity of an industrial enterprise through the value stream. Based on the results of application of the methods of systemic and critical analysis, the elements of the lean accounting basis of the enterprise are justified: the purpose of accounting and users of information; principles, methods, objects, meters and the obligation to keep records; time horizon; information sources. Based on the results of the scientific information search and logical generalization, the main guidelines for the enterprise’s lean accounting are established. Comparison of lean accounting by basis elements with financial accounting, management accounting and strategic management accounting is performed. The importance of lean accounting in the management of a modern industrial enterprise from the position of strengthening the role of information and its value for substantiating and adopting the best managerial decisions with a focus on satisfying the requirements of customers and taking into account the interest of suppliers is proved. The methodical approach to the identification and generalization of the composition of the factors influencing the synchronization of cash flow from the operating activity of an industrial enterprise, as well as the establishment of cause-effect relationships between them, using the Ishikawa diagram, has been improved. Based on the results of using the graphical method, key factors of influence are established: volume, quality, value and time.

MEDES y Dialnet, dos iniciativas de gran alcance para la literatura científica en habla hispana

In this tenth article in the series “An Update in the Search for Scientific Information”, we present two databases of scientific literature in Spanish, both of them developed by foundations concerned with providing access to good-quality scientific information in Spanish. The first one is the MEDES database (MEDicina en ESpañol), an initiative by the Lilly Foundation with the primary objective to promote the visibility and use of biomedical publications in Spanish. The second one is Dialnet, considered one of the largest bibliographic websites of scientific literature in Spanish and which, with the access to bibliographic references for diverse topics, integrates different documentary services such as bibliographic alerts, a repository that allows access to the extent possible to full-text journal articles, book chapters, doctoral theses, proceedings of congresses, etc., as well as the generation of author profiles.

On the efficient methods for searching for scientific information on the internet and the rights of users for disposal of the obtained data

This paper notes the interrelations between the types and methods of information searches, including Internet searches. It suggests the general approach for making a search for documents on the Internet, for example, scientific articles on information and communication. The methods for information searches used on the Internet are characterized with placing a particular emphasis on the method of searching with the use of search systems. General recommendations for successful conduction of searches are advanced to increase their efficiency. The goals and problems faced by a user during scientific information searches are presented. A user's rights for the results of a search for scientific information are described from the standpoint of legal relations regulated by Russian legislation. Copyright protection methods are also considered based on Russian and foreign legislation.

THE SUPPLY OF INFORMATION TO THE SCIENTIST: SOME PROBLEMS OF THE PRESENT DAY

The International Conference on Scientific Information which will be held in November 1958 in Washington is the first large‐scale sequel to the Royal Society Conference on Scientific Information of 1948. In the ten intervening years there has been such a multiplication of scientific publications, despite some efforts at rationalizing their production, that the problem which seemed vast enough ten years ago is now considered so great as to defy dealing with as a whole even in such a large‐scale international conference. The Royal Society Conference attempted to deal with every aspect of scientific publication; with the method of producing scientific papers, with the organization of journals where original work is published—abstracts, reports—and with the processes of filing and finding information. The Washington conference is definitely more limited in its scope. It is essentially concerned with the provision of effective storage and retrieval mechanisms rather than with the question of publication. In the words of its own announcement, ‘emphasis will be placed on the critical examination and appraisal of techniques, mechanisms, systems and organization for the storage and retrospective search of scientific information and particularly upon recent research studies in these aspects. Problems concerned with primary publication and dissemination will not be considered except incidentally. The practical point of view of the using scientist—whether he be an isolated individual depending on a small library or one who has access to a large information retrieval centre—will be kept foremost.’
