Sherpa Romeo Research Articles

Welcome to the June 2024 Issue (Vol: 30, No: 3) and Current News of the European Journal of Therapeutics

Dear Colleagues, It is our pleasure to share the valuable articles in a new issue of the Eur J Ther (2024; Vol: 30, Issue: 3). We would like to take this opportunity to thank once again the authors who submitted valuable papers to the journal and the referees who evaluated these articles. In April 2023, we shared that the editorial team of Eur J Ther underwent many changes and was updated with a dynamic team [1]. We then made a series of improvements in a short period of time. First, we strengthened our editorial team with many internationally respected academics [2]. In July 2023, Web of Science calculated the journal’s impact factor value for the first time as 0.3 [3]. Then, with the dedicated work of the updated editorial team, the journal was soon included in many essential indexes such as Index Copernicus (approved 2023-10-31), ERIH PLUS (approved 2023-06-21), BASE (approved 2023-11-30), and Sherpa Romeo (approved 2023-09-27). As a result of our application, as of the beginning of 2024, articles that have not yet been assigned to the issue and are in early view have started to be indexed in the Web of Science in a short time [4]. This is reflected in the Times Cited and Publications Over Time graphic on the Web of Science (Fig. 1) [5]. Another significant development was that from 2024 onwards, the journal will be published six issues a year instead of four. Through this editorial, we would like to share other good recent news and the journal metrics recently published by Clarivate Analytics with you, our valuable followers [6]. According to Journal Citation Reports 2024, Eur J Ther's journal impact factor value is 0.3 (Fig. 2) [6]. We believe that your valuable studies and contributions will increase this value. The most pleasing result in the Journal Citation Reports 2024 data [6] is that the Journal Impact Factor Quartile value of Eur J Ther, which is in the Medicine, General & Internal Category, was determined as Q3. The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) Quartile for the Eur J Ther has been calculated for the first time this year, and we are delighted to observe that it is the Q3. In other words, according to the Journal Impact Factor value, Eur J Ther ranks 243rd among 325 journals in the Medicine, General & Internal Category (JIF Rank 243/325). However, we know we should do our best to go one step further and reach better levels. As Stephen Hawking says, “However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.” We look forward to sharing more good news with you. Yours Sincerely,

Welcome to the December 2023 Issue (Vol:29, No:4) and Current News of the European Journal of Therapeutics

Dear Colleagues, In this editorial, we would like to share with you important developments in the European Journal of Therapeutics (Eur J Ther). First of all, as the editorial team, we would like you to know that we hold frequent meetings to benefit our esteemed colleagues and continue to work with great devotion in line with our goal of taking the journal further. We have previously shared with you that we have applied to many indexes. It is with great pleasure that we would like to inform you that in the last few months, more of our index applications have been approved. Index Copernicus, as a result of this application, the ICV 2022 value of our journal was determined to be 100 (approved 2023-10-31) [1] BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine) (approved 2023-11-30) [2] Sherpa Romeo (approved 2023-09-27) [3] MIAR (approved 2023-10-16) [4] All indexes in our journal are currently included on the journal web page [5]. As the editorial team, we would like to inform you that we have determined a policy on this issue for our journal [6], taking into account the recommendations of important international ethics committees such as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) [7] and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) [8], which have recently become a trendy topic of discussion about AI chatbots and academic studies prepared with the support of such tools. As you know, when our journal was founded in 1990 [9], it was published in two yearly issues. It is an essential responsibility for us to carry our journal, which continued its publication life with three issues a year in 2009 [10] and four issues a year in 2014 [11]. With your valuable support, we would like to announce that we will increase our journal to 6 issues a year as of 2024 (February, April, June, August, October and December) with the rapidly growing progress of our journal. Unfortunately, we cannot share the names of the referees who made significant contributions to our journal in 2023 due to the changes in the article submission interface during the year and the inaccessibility of some data in the previous interface. However, we would like to emphasize again that we are grateful to all of them for their valuable contributions. Moreover, to expand our journal's referee list, we would like to remind you that competent academics who volunteer in this regard can fill out the “Become a Reviewer for the European Journal of Therapeutics” form [12]. Finally, we would like to point out that we have strengthened our editorial team with an academician competent in dentistry, Fatih Sari, DDS, PhD. Fatih Sari, DDS, PhD, is a new Editorial Board Member of the Eur J Ther. Dr. Sari is an Associate Professor in the Department of Prosthodontics at the Gaziantep University Faculty of Dentistry. He is a Vice Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry and Head of Clinical Departments. Dr. Sari is a prosthodontist and a member of the Turkish Dental Association. He has experience in implant-supported fixed prostheses, Cad/Cam applications and dental materials. We look forward to being able to offer you a large number of high-quality and valuable articles over the coming year. In addition, we would like to thank the readers, authors and reviewers of the Eur J Ther for their continuous support. Sincerely yours,

Article processing charges of health professions category journals in SCOPUS

Introduction and aim: Scientific journals are a key communication channel for the transmission of scientific information, and the publication of articles is mandatory in scientific advancements. Open access publishing enables greater visibility of scientific outputs but publication in open access is rarely free (Van Norden, 2013; Pourret 2022). The aim of this research is to examine the article processing charges (APCs) of journals in the Health professions category within the SCOPUS database, along with their respective business models (hybrid, OA or diamond OA).Methods: We collected data on journals using Scimago, DOAJ and Sherpa Romeo databases, as well as the homepages of journals and publishers. Using the SCImago Journal & Country Rank data for the year 2022, we filtered journals belonging to the field and category of "Health Professions (miscellaneous)". Data were gathered on the number of journals in Scopus, the type of journal (hybrid, open access, diamond journal) and the cost for publishing (APC) an original scientific article/review article in open access. Information about the type of the journal was collected in Sherpa Romeo/DOAJ databases, information on the APCs was found on the pages of the journal or publisher.Results: A total of 60 journals belonging to the category of Health professions in Scopus were identified, with 28 (47%) of them also in the Web of Science database according to Scimago. Of these 60 journals, 28 are hybrid journals, 32 are in open access (53%), including 10 in open access with an APC, and 22 completely free - diamond journals. The publication cost in all journals is in the range from €0 to €3,385.00, with an average median price of €788 (ranging from €0 to €2,895). The average APC is significantly lower in open access journals than in hybrid journals (median €881, ranging from €92 to €2466, versus €2895, ranging from €2045 to €2977), which is in line with previously published results in the medical field (Siler et al, 2018). Most of the diamond journals are in the 3rd (6 out of 22) and 4th quartiles (9 out of 22) or have only recently (3 out of 22) been included in the Scopus database.Limitations of the study: The study sample is small, and has only 60 journals, while there could be more journals connected with health professions in other Scopus categories. Information about waivers was not collected.Conclusion: Journals of the 1st and 2nd quartile, which are considered an important criterion for advancement in the biomedical field, are mostly hybrid journals and the APCs are very high. Consequently, the conclusion emerges that health professions do not have a large selection of journals for publishing in open access, and therefore it is necessary to educate authors to self-archive their articles.

International Experience of Using E-Learning during Pandemics and Military Conflicts

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain military conflicts and wars in different regions have become recent critical conditions in the social development of humanity, which has led to the active spread of the electronic knowledge acquisition system. Therefore, the experience of studying the peculiarities of e-learning implementation during a pandemic and military conflicts has become relevant. The purpose of this study is to implement a comprehensive review and analysis of existing scientific works on the use of e-learning in crisis conditions. For this purpose, PubMed, Scopus, WebofScince were chosen as the main scientific and metric databases, and Ebsco and Sherpa Romeo were used as additional ones. The criteria for including the literature are based on relevance, relevance to the research topic, and the availability of a detailed methodology. In addition, the emphasis was placed on the works of less than 5 authors and publications written since 2014. Thus, based on these criteria, 62 items were selected for analysis. The analysis was based on thematic and comparative methods. The results characterize the dynamics of the emergence of scientific papers on e-education. It is determined that high rates of interest are present in 2020 and 2022 (both 27.42% of the total). It has also been found that modern countries use various electronic tools to adapt to the crisis: learning platforms, management systems, electronic communications, and electronic journals. The conclusions show that international experience shows that the global education system is adapting to the challenges. E-education has also proven to be effective during military conflicts, in particular the experience of Saudi Arabia, Syria, Ukraine and other countries, which indicates the widespread use of e-education elements.

Open(ing) Access: Top Health Publication Availability to Researchers in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.

Improving access to information for health professionals and researchers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is under-prioritized. This study examines publication policies that affect authors and readers from LMICs. We used the SHERPA RoMEO database and publicly available publishing protocols to evaluate open access (OA) policies, article processing charges (APCs), subscription costs, and availability of health literature relevant to authors and readers in LMICs. Categorical variables were summarized using frequencies with percentages. Continuous variables were reported with median and interquartile range (IQR). Hypothesis testing procedures were performed using Wilcoxon rank sum tests, Wilcoxon rank sum exact tests, and Kruskal-Wallis test. A total of 55 journals were included; 6 (11%) were Gold OA (access to readers and large charge for authors), 2 (3.6%) were subscription (charge for readers and small/no charge for authors), 4 (7.3%) were delayed OA (reader access with no charge after embargo), and 43 (78%) were hybrid (author's choice). There was no significant difference between median APC for life sciences, medical, and surgical journals ($4,850 [$3,500-$8,900] vs. $4,592 [$3,500-$5,000] vs. $3,550 [$3,200-$3,860]; p = 0.054). The median US individual subscription costs (USD/Year) were significantly different for life sciences, medical, and surgical journals ($259 [$209-$282] vs. $365 [$212-$744] vs. $455 [$365-$573]; p = 0.038), and similar for international readers. A total of seventeen journals (42%) had a subscription price that was higher for international readers than for US readers. Most journals offer hybrid access services. Authors may be forced to choose between high cost with greater reach through OA and low cost with less reach publishing under the subscription model under current policies. International readers face higher costs. Such hindrances may be mitigated by a greater awareness and liberal utilization of OA policies.

Publisher embargoes and institutional repositories: a case study of journal articles subject to an Australian funder mandate

Introduction. Despite funder policies recognising the repository route as critical to achieving open access compliance, most accepted manuscripts in repositories have embargoes on access. This paper explored the extent to which embargoes hinder open access for grant recipients. Method. The study applied bibliometric research methods to analyse 7,562 journal articles, published in 2019 and funded by Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council. The primary data sources included Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Sherpa Romeo. Analysis. Analysis was performed for the embargo periods of accepted manuscripts of non-open access articles (43.76%, n = 3,309) in institutional repositories and the effects of embargoes on compliance with funder policies. Results. Three-quarters of non-open access articles had embargo periods of twelve months. However, 30.94% of total articles remained publicly inaccessible, with accepted manuscripts in institutional repositories comprising only 9.65%. Conclusions. Publishers’ embargo periods complicate the cost-free solution of depositing accepted manuscripts in institutional repositories. The promotion of zero-embargoed journals and the adoption of zero-embargoes for funded articles in institutional repositories through funder-publisher agreements would achieve higher open access levels and compliance with the Council’s Policy.

Editorial Note for Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering

As our readers know, Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering is that the most preferred and highly accessed Journal within the field of Environmental Engineering. The Journal is indexed in Index Copernicus, Index Copernicus, Google Scholar, Sherpa Romeo Keys among many other reputed scientific databases. At many instances members of the editorial board also value more highly to submit their articles. Such practice is common in other reputed specialty Journals. In fact, Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering encourages editorial board members to actively contribute. However, no special privileges are given to anyone. All scientific manuscripts including editorials are subjected to see review. We make sure that the peerreview process is fair, unbiased (single blind review system-where reviewer recognizes author but author doesn't recognize reviewer) and timely. We express our sincere gratitude to any or all our reviewers for his or her long standing support, their effort and time in evaluating the manuscripts. The peer-review process converts the preliminary manuscript submission into a citable standard publication.

OPEN ACCESS ROUTES DICHOTOMY AND OPPORTUNITIES: CONSOLIDATION, ANALYSIS AND TRENDS AT THE SPANISH NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL

This article gives a comprehensive overview of recent Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) publications available in Open Access. With a focus on research articles from the last decade (2008–2018), this work aims to fill the gap in previous studies about publishing trends and impact monitoring of publications by researchers from the Spanish National Research Council. Evolution and main trends of Green and Gold Open Access routes at CSIC are addressed through a close insight into DIGITAL.CSIC repository and institutional Open Access Publishing Support Programme. The article draws on major conclusions at a time when an institutional Open Access mandate has just entered into force. The article also relates findings about performance of institutional Open Access Publishing Initiative and total volume of CSIC articles published in Open Access with an estimation of overall costs on article processing charges during these years. Furthermore, the data serve as a basis to make preliminary considerations as to opportunities to move from a subscription-based model to one fully aligned with Gold Open Access publishing. The data analyzed come from a variety of sources, including public information and internal records maintained by the CSIC E-resources Subscription programme, DIGITAL.CSIC and data retrieved from GesBIB, an internal, in-house development tool that integrates bibliographic information about CSIC publications as well as data from several external APIs, including Unpaywall, DOAJ and Sherpa Romeo.

Open and Shut: Open Access in Hybrid Educational Technology Journals 2010 – 2017

Little is known about open access publishing in educational technology journals that employ a hybrid model which charges authors only if they wish to publish via gold open access. In this study we sought to address this gap in the scholarly understanding of open access publishing in hybrid journals that publish research into the intersection of education and technology. We analysed three categories of article access types: gold, green, and limited access, and collected data on their prevalence in the seven-year period from 2010-2017 across 29 journals. Data was gathered from Scopus, Unpaywall, Sherpa RoMEO, and via manual searches of the journal websites, resulting in a dataset comprising the metadata of 8,479 articles. Our findings highlight that most research remains locked behind paywalls, that open access publishing through legal means is a minority activity for the scholars involved, and that the complexity and costs of legal open access publishing in these journals may be inhibiting the accessibility of research to readers.

Acceso abierto a la producción científica de Uruguay: poca historia en 10 años (2009-2018)

Este trabajo analiza los avances del acceso abierto a la literatura científica en Uruguay en los últimos diez años. Se basa en un análisis cuantitativo de carácter exploratorio de los artículos publicados y en el relato de iniciativas locales. Se identifican políticas institucionales recientes y poco consolidadas, aún sin alcance nacional. Se analizan las publicaciones de autores con filiación nacional uruguaya en acceso abierto a partir de la WOS, encontrando un 37,3% de artículos disponibles en forma inmediata y en constante aumento, empujado por la vía dorada. Se analizan las políticas editoriales de las revistas en Sherpa Romeo y se encuentra que el 50,7% no está disponible en acceso abierto pero podría ser depositado en repositorios. Sumando ambas categorías se halla que un 88% de la producción considerada está o podría estar disponible en acceso abierto. Se concluye que es necesario generar estudios adicionales en torno al acceso abierto para Uruguay.
