Pengaruh Disleksia terhadap Perkembangan Anak

The purpose of preparing this article is to understand more deeply about effect of dyslexia in children aged 1 to 5 years old. The method used is a literature study from various sources, such as: 1) journal reviews, 2). scientific writing articles. Selection of journals and articles focused on children with dyslexia, while reviews of articles and journals were carried out in the last 10 years from 2010-2021. Dyslexia is defined as a syndrome that has difficulty learning the components of words and sentences as well as difficulties in learning about everything related to time. The risk factors for dyslexia in children are genetic and family environment. The impact of dyslexia on children’s development can be in the form of difficulties in reading skills, personality, behavior, and quality of life disorders. In addition, it also affects language development disorders, declarative consolidation disorders during sleep, and dyslexia comorbidities.

Amethod for the madness: An international survey of health professions education authors' journal choice.

IntroductionScholarship is a key activity in health professions education (HPE). When disseminating scholarly work, how one selects the journal to which they submit is often argued to be a key determinant of subsequent success. To draw more evidence-based recommendations in this regard, we surveyed successful scholars working in HPE regarding their perspectives and experiences with journal selection.MethodsWe conducted an international survey of HPE scholars, investigating their decisions regarding journal choice. Corresponding authors were identified from a sample of 4000 papers published in 2019 and 2020. They were invited via email with up to four reminders. We describe their experience and use principle component and regression analyses to identify factors associated with successful acceptance.ResultsIn total, 863 responses were received (24.7% response rate), 691 of which were included in our analyses. Two thirds of respondents had their manuscripts accepted at their first-choice journal with revisions required in 98% of cases. We identified six priority factors when choosing journals. In descending order of importance, they were: fit, impact, editorial reputation, speed of dissemination, breadth of dissemination, and guidance from others. Authors who prioritised fit higher and who selected a journal earlier were more likely to have their manuscripts accepted at their first-choice journal.DiscussionBased on our results we make three recommendations for authors when writing manuscripts: do not be disheartened by a revise decision, consider journal choice early in the research process, and use the fit between your manuscript and the journal as the main factor driving journal choice.Supplementary InformationThe online version of this article (10.1007/s40037-022-00698-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Identification of Factors that Influence Exclusive Breastfeeding during the Covid-19 Pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic has a major impact on exclusive breastfeeding. The aims of the study was to identify factors that influence exclusive breastfeeding during the Covid-19 pandemic based on empirical studies of the last 2 years. The research design uses a literature review. The data source uses Elsevier, BMC, and Scholar databases with topics published in Indonesian and English for 2 years (2020–2021). The review method uses journal searches according to the PICOS framework with keywords that match the writing. Journals are selected by journal selection and abstracts with inclusion and exclusion criteria so that journals are found that can be reviewed. The results of the study stated that the role of breastfeeding counselors, knowledge, psychology, family support, lockdown, and rooming in, family resilience, breastfeeding experience, maternal health status, and promotion of formula milk influenced exclusive breastfeeding. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the factors that influence exclusive breastfeeding during the Covid-19 pandemic are the role of counselors, knowledge, psychology, family resilience, rooming in, family support, mother's experience, lockdown, promotion of formula milk, and maternal health conditions based on the last 2-year empirical study.

Predicting access mode of multidisciplinary and library and information sciences journals using machine learning

Academics and librarians might want to identify whether a journal is open access (OA) or subscription-based. While indexes and digital libraries might provide such information for known collections, it is possible that the access mode of a journal or body of journals might be unknown a priori. In this short analysis, a machine learning-based method is used to classify a journal’s access mode, OA or subscription, using its CiteScore and Journal Impact Factor (JIF). Using an initial pool of 91 multidisciplinary journals with a CiteScore, 38 journals with both a JIF and a CiteScore were selected (24 = OA; 14 = subscription). Using a data mining tool (Orange), ten machine learning models were applied (k nearest neighbor (kNN), Tree, support vector machine (SVM), Random forest, Neural network, Naïve Bayes, Logistic regression, Adaptive boosting (Adaboost)), Gradient Boosting (Scikit-learn) (GBS) and Gradient Boosting (catboost) (GBC). Adaboost, GBS and GBC showed the highest (100%) precision, sensitivity, and specificity. The 3 models correctly classify the access mode with zero error. The 3 optimum models were validated using then to predict the access mode of 54 (7 = OA; 47 = subscription) library and information science (LIS) journals and Adaboost and GBS gave perfect results with no misclassification. With these model, the access mode of multidisciplinary and LIS journals can be accurately and correctly predicted using only JIF-CiteScore data. Libraries in low-resource settings will benefit from the implementation of this research by designing a decision support system for the selection of journals.

Evaluation of theses in the field of forensic medicine in Turkey

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the scientific efficacy of medical specialism theses prepared in the Forensic Medicine Departments of universities in Turkey, to examine how visible these are to the scientific community, and to determine the links between an academic career and thesis publication. In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 383 forensic medicine specialism theses were evaluated from The National Thesis Centre internet address between 1983 and 2020. The most common research subject was clinical forensic medicine and trauma with 58 (15.1%) theses. 307 (80.2%) of theses were published. While 307 (80.2%) of the theses were not presented as a publication in a scientific journal, 76 (19.8%) were converted to a scientific publication, of which75 (98.6%) were published in Google Scholar, 39 (51.3%) in SCI-E, 31 (40.8%) in PubMed, and 2 (2.6%) in SCI journals. The provision of courses including the process of thesis writing, applying for ethics committee approval, statistical analysis and evaluation, the rules of writing a scientific article, and the selection of a scientific journal, will encourage young researchers on the subject of scientific publication and will play an important role in the improvement of the quality of publications.

Telling Every Story: Characteristics of Systematic Reporting

ABSTRACT Journalists have traditionally had the power to choose which news stories to tell and which not to tell. This “gatekeeping” power was not won by journalists in a contest with others, or imposed on audiences, but was instead the unavoidable consequence of structural constraints in the production, distribution, and consumption of news in the pre-digital environment. This article examines this structural selectivity in journalism, identifies the kinds of news stories that may be more difficult to tell selectively and questions whether the structural constraints that require selectivity are still relevant in the digital news ecosystem. A systematic alternative to selective journalism, in which every story within a domain is covered in the same way, is described. Several examples of systematic journalism implemented in newsrooms in the US and UK are provided, and the public service motivations for their systematic coverage is emphasised. Systematic journalism is positioned as fundamentally, not incrementally, different from selective journalism in its characteristics and outcomes, and some of those characteristics are reviewed. A description of systematic journalism as it might be applied to climate change news stories is then developed. Finally, some of the broader challenges and implications of systematic forms of journalism are discussed.

Publication Times and Integrated Plastic Surgery Applicant Planning.

Integrated plastic surgery is one of the most competitive residencies, with 57% of applicants matching in 2021.1 Research productivity is a shared feature of applicants with matched US MD seniors producing 19.1 abstracts, presentations, and publications compared with 11.5 for unmatched seniors in 2020.1 This reflects a substantial increase from only 3.4 for matched applicants in 2007.2 In this Viewpoint, we will analyze publication times in a major plastic surgery journal pre and post-pandemic, with the goal of determining how early applicants must start plastics research to be competitive, taking these contemporary publication cycle times into account. As per Chawla et al, 35 articles published between January 1, 2019, and November 1, 2021, in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery were chosen at random. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery was selected as it is the highest impact factor journal in the specialty with an impact factor of 4.763. One original research article per monthly issue was reviewed. Articles accepted before March 2020 were categorized as “pre-COVID,” between March 2020 and August 2020 as “quarantine,” and September 2020 to the present as “postquarantine.” Two-tailed T-testing assessed differences. Mean submission-to-acceptance time significantly increased from 30.97 weeks pre-COVID to 56.80 weeks postquarantine (P < 0.05), whereas acceptance-to-publication time significantly decreased from 32.67 to 25.59 weeks (see Table 1). Table 1. - Mean Submission-to-acceptance and Acceptance-to-publication Times for January 2019 to November 2021 Issues of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Mean Submission-to-acceptance Time, wk (SD) Mean Acceptance-to-publication Time, wk (SD) Pre-COVID (n = 21) 30.97 (10.24) 32.67 (8.26) Quarantine (n = 6) 38.10 (9.79) 29.64 (4.80) Postquarantine (n = 8) 56.80 (21.46)* 25.59 (4.34)* *Significant (P < 0.05) difference between value and respective pre-COVID value. Submission-to-acceptance times were analyzed separately from submission-to-publication times, as applicants can list accepted work as publications in ERAS and PSCA applications. Further, in 2018, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery was found to have a mean acceptance-to-publication time of 25.8 weeks, longer than the mean among all plastic surgery journals in 2018 of 10.32 weeks.3 The same study reported a mean submission-to-acceptance time of 23.3 weeks for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and 21 weeks for all plastic surgery journals, suggesting this metric is more generalizable. Overall, our data suggest that article submission-to-acceptance time postquarantine is greater than 1 year. This trend is supported by a selection of general journals, which demonstrated a significantly longer submission-to-acceptance time postquarantine compared with articles from 2019 at 91.35 and 75.79 days, respectively.4 This trend is exacerbated in plastic surgery journals, which significantly lag compared to other surgical subspecialty journals with median submission-to-publication time in 2018 of 208 days versus 22.1, respectively.3 With Step 1 transitioning from numerical to pass/fail scoring in 2022, further emphasis will be placed on research.5 We recommend expressing an interest in plastic surgery 2 years before applications are due. This is early M2 year for the average US senior and allows sufficient time to start multiple research projects and go through the submission-to-acceptance process in the postquarantine era. Further, we recommend research-related gap years be taken at least 2 years before the application cycle, if applicable (between M2 and M3 year) to allow for maximum publication productivity. A final consideration is for the applicant to look at publication cycle metrics/turnaround times of target journals before submission to best evaluate how these mesh with application cycle deadlines. DISCLOSURE The authors have no financial interests to declare in relation to the content of this article.

Journal selection behavior among early-career academicians in Iran: how they choose the most appropriate journal for their publications

PurposeJournals are the essential tools of researchers, especially academicians, to present their scientific findings. So, choosing the right journal helps not only science development but also their academic promotion. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that Iranian medical researchers consider when selecting scholarly journals in which to submit their work.Design/methodology/approachA self-administered online questionnaire was emailed in May 2021, with 101 responses received. The sample included all the faculty members with the role of “lecturer” in Iranian medical universities and who have 1–5 articles in the Scopus database as early-career Iranian medical researchers. The questionnaire consisted of 36 items, divided into five sections: basic information, attitudes and beliefs, ways to choose a journal, problems and familiarity with the components of scientometrics/validity metrics related to journals.FindingsThe findings indicate that these researchers value the expertise of experienced researchers and professionals, like librarians, when selecting publication venues. They often use journal indexes to guide journal selection. They also consider factors like the length of typical peer review and the complexity of submission guidelines when making decisions.Research limitations/implicationsThe study of one country, though detecting requirements of journal selection behavior, cannot be generalized to the entire region.Practical implicationsThe current study has academic implications as far as decisions on journal selection are concerned. University policymakers in Iran may consider re-examining their emphasis on academicians’ promotion policies at Iranian universities of medical sciences.Originality/valueThese findings may support the work of early-career researchers and those individuals (e.g., librarians) that serve them, as well as publishers and editors of scholarly journals.

Publisher Transparency among Communications and Library and Information Science Journals: Analysis and Recommendations

The principal goal of the research study is to analyze the transparency of a selection of academic journals based on an analysis model with 20 indicators grouped into 6 parameters. Given the evident interest in and commitment to transparency among quality academic journals and researchers’ difficulties in choosing journals that meet a set of criteria, we present indicators that may help researchers choose journals while also helping journals to consider what information from the editorial process to publish, or not, on their websites to attract authors in the highly competitive environment of today’s scholarly communication. To test the validity of the indicators, we analyze a small sample: the Spanish Communications and Library and Information Science journals listed in the Scimago Journal Rank. The results confirm that our analysis model is valid and can be extrapolated to other disciplines and journals.

Tracing the influence of James March’s most cited works: an empirical approach using historical analysis of co-citation contexts

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the historical continuity of James March’s contributions to management scholarship by tracing the co-citations that appear within the textual contexts of articles in premier management journals that cite both March and Simon’s 1958 book Organizations and other works co-authored by March.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses within-citation context analysis to examine 522 passages from eight premier management journals that contain co-citations to Organizations and any another work co-authored by March. This entails coding the citing passages to identify the specific knowledge claims from March’s works and how citing authors used them, which establishes linkages between the content in different works of March’s works as used by citing authors.FindingsThis study finds that 31 other works by March are co-cited within the same citation contexts along with Organizations. The vast majority (71%) of these co-citations of March’s later works are to Cyert and March’s A Behavioral Theory of the Firm. The four other most highly co-cited works are Levitt and March (1988); March (1991); Cohen et al. (1972); and Levinthal and March (1993). Of the eight summary codes used in the analysis corresponding with the contents of Organizations, two summary codes – “Routines and Programs” and “Cognitive Limits” – accounted for the clear majority (60.1%) of all co-citation contexts in this study.Research limitations/implicationsThis study only examined the co-citations to Organizations in eight premier journals in organization studies, and a larger selection of journals might have altered the results to some degree. A truly comprehensive analysis might consider every citation context in the published literature where citing authors jointly mention any two or more of March’s works. Given the extraordinarily large number of citations to March’s works, this was impractical and unfeasible.Practical implicationsA time-bound and rigorous review of co-citations in common contexts allows both scholars and practitioners to recognize the genuine threads of theory presented by leading scholars and trace them through subsequent works to see how theories have evolved both in practice – reflected in empirical work – and in conception – reflected in theoretical development.Social implicationsPrior research into citation methodology has shown the proliferation of references over time. It is not uncommon for contemporary works to list 100 or more references for a single paper. This research encourages and facilitates a greater discipline in understanding and using citations by tracing the roots of citations and the extent of their importance in citing works.Originality/valueThis paper presents an historical perspective of the influence of James March’s body of scholarship by tracking within context co-citations that link a seminal early work of March to his most cited works in premier journals. This study tracks specific knowledge claims that have persisted throughout March’s corpus of scholarship. This historical method is a systematic approach to tracing how subsequent scholarship ties together and uses multiple works to support specific knowledge claims, enabling an objective analysis of the commonalities among a scholar’s works over time. This is the first example of research using this bibliographic method to form an historical perspective of a seminal author or a classic work.

Significance of Variable Contributing Factors on Impact Factor of Clarivate Analytics Dental Journals

Background Increasing pressure on researchers and academicians to publish in high impact factor (IF) journals necessitates selecting useful quality journals in academia. Objectives To review IF’s role and the factors that influence the IF of dental journals, including the journals’ quartile distribution. Methods The Editorial board size of the journal, age of the journal, status (print or electronic) of publication, frequency of publication, quartile, and 5-year IF of all Clarivate Analytics’ oral-dental journals (Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Medicine) were investigated. Descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized. The information was obtained from individual websites of the journals and Web of Science databases. Results The result shows that all four variables (Editorial board size, frequency of publication, status, and age of journals) were not correlated with the IF, and there was no statistically significant difference found on the IF based on all four factors. Discussion Studies on all four factors contribute to the current IF of individual journals. Five-year and yearly progress trends of journals with quartile rankings are helping to make learning choices for journal selection. The selection of high IF dental journals is a current need for oral health care professionals from academia. Irrespective of the impact factors, publish and flourish policy may be adopted by academic institutions to promote a writing culture. Incentives should be offered to faculty of academic institutions, and adequate time should be allocated to promote publishing culture. Novice authors should be encouraged to start writing and not initially only focus on high IF journals, as with time, quality should follow. If articles are published in medical journals, the keywords should include dental/or dentistry, so it could be classified in the dental literature as well, wherever it is applicable. Conclusion There is no influence on any of the four factors. The larger Editorial board size and higher frequency of publications per year were not significantly associated with the IF. Comparison of IF with status and age of journals also showed no association with the IF. Any particular journal’s choice should be based upon the current IF, journal quartile ranking, and journal domain specificity. Further research on acceptance rate, open access, waiting time, and cost influencing journal selection is suggested.

Journals as Communities: A Case Study of Core Journals in LIS

AbstractThis paper proposes an indicator for measuring the level of commitment to academic journals. The indicator is demonstrated on a sample of core LIS‐journals. By monitoring authorship patterns over a 20‐year period, it is shown that some journals have a higher frequency of returning authors than others, consequently showing a larger degree of community commitment. The paper discusses how the indicator may be applied when studying factors influencing researchers' journal selection decisions.

Research Ethics Committees’ Evaluations and Paper Publication s in Brazilian Journals

Resolutions 466/2012 and 510/2016 from the Brazilian National Health Council present the determination that each institution which performs researches that involve human beings need to have a Research Ethics Committee (CEP). Those Committees have, as their first attribution, to evaluate research protocols for studies that involve human beings, analyzing ethical aspects of the work, and also to have a consultive and educative role in ethical matters. The ethical issues on research are becoming a debated topic, and so the CEP`s evaluation becomes more critical as ethical validation of the research. This paper aims to analyse the role of CEP’s ethical evaluation as a requirement for publication in Brazilian journals. The methodology consists in the analysis of “instructions to authors” from Brazilian Journals. The selection of journals will be made amongst the best classified in the Brazilian journal classification (QUALIS-Capes). Initial results suggest that, despite there are some journals that demand the CEP ethical analysis to publish the research, there is still a large number of journals that do not require a CEP approval to publish the paper, casting aside the importance of the evaluation.

Ghostwriting and Authorship Practices in Biomedical Research: A Study Protocol

"Background: Scientific paper authorship represents an important form of academic attainment for research professionals and brings specific benefits (e.g., contribution science, recognizing the author’s intellectual efforts). Authors certify their work’s integrity by accepting the responsability of the published content. The principal two important unethical authorship is honorary authors (the criteria of authorship not met) and ghost authors (contributed substantially but not listed as an author). Aim: The current study has two-fold aim: to determine the prevalence of authorship violations in the biomedical journals according to the Web of Science classification and to evaluate its variation by article type (e.g., research, review, or editorial) and presence/absence authors contributions requirements. Materials and Methods: The following steps will be apply: 1) Identification of journal categories of interest – data source: Journal Citation Reports 2020 (JCR2020); 2) Identification of the eligible journal – JCR2020 by selection of journals weighted according to the number of jorunals in a specific category. The selection will be stratified by the Rank by Journal Citation Indicator (JCI); 3) Collection of characteristics of the included journals regarding the year 2020: total number of articles, number of articles and references, number of reviews and associated references; JCI percentile, open access policy and publication fee if applicable; 4) Random selection (simple random method) of authors who published in 2020. The selection will be done weighted according to the number of manuscripts published in 2020; 5) Development and validation of the questionnaire; 6) Invitation of the corresponding author to participate in the study; 7) Online anonymously data collection. The study protocol will be deposited in an international database. "

How can a newly established journal attract foreign authors?

The geographical diversity of the origin of both editorial staff and authors is one of the crucial criteria in the selection of journals for international recognized databases (Scopus, Web of Science, etc.). The established world-class scientific journals, as a rule, have their own readership, regular authors, and attract new ones due to their own high indicators (Hirsch index, quartile, etc.). Many newly established periodicals aiming at international recognition face the issues of finding foreign editors and authors. It is more difficult for the journals that are not included in recognized databases to compete with more recognized ones in attracting new authors. As a result of evaluations of journals, the members of the Scopus Content Selection &amp; Advisory Board (CSAB) indicate that journals need to significantly expand their international reach in terms of authorship and academic influence. They recommend them to consider publishing more articles in English and to attract more respected authors from other countries. The recommendation is undoubtedly valuable, but the question arises: how to attract foreign authors? In fact, the targeted e-mail distribution as a tool for finding authors and increasing publication activity is poorly effective, since authors are mainly interested in recognized journals indexed in international scientometric databases. Another recommendation from the expert is that it will be helpful if the published articles cover a wider range of research topics and issues that may directly affect an international audience. As N.V. Kirillova rightly notes: “no scientific work can be started without preliminary study and analysis of research carried out earlier on the chosen topic or taking place at present. The results of such an analysis of publications on the topic of research are reflected directly in scientific articles and published in the form of independent systematic reviews.”[1] In conjunction with the foregoing, it is important to reconsider the duties of the members of the editorial board as the direct authors of the newly established journal, who could, for example, on the instructions of the editor-in-chief write up-to-date reviews on the relevant problems and headings of the journal. Published articles can be sent directly to foreign authors, which are cited by the authors who are members of the editorial board. Alternatively, this can induce foreign authors to a scientific dialogue, and, possibly, to publish articles in a newly established journal.
