This study examines the editorial endogeny of Library and Information Science journals. The endogeny was determined by the analysis of (1) papers published by the journal's editors, (2) papers published by the journal's country of origin, and (3) journal self-citation. The study used five-year coverage based on journals listed in the Web of Science. Regarding the editorial endogeny, the cut-off line of 50% of publications was at 4.51%. However, some journals have concentrated this endogeny from 20% to 45%. The endogenous model developed with the three analyses generated a journal efficiency system that showed a moderate index by the quartile of the journals, with an average of four endogenous papers per journal. 50% of the publications obtained an average of 10.70% self-citations. But part of the 50% most endogenous journals obtained indices ranging from 11% to 75.99%, with ten journals over 30%. 50% of papers are from the journal's country of origin. We conclude that the levels of endogeny were balanced on average, but some journals abused it to improve their ranking and impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Alternative dispute resolution, such as conciliation, are more efficient and effective when the parties have high levels of emotional intelligence. Likewise, the practice of mindfulness contributes to the development of that intelligence. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to review literature that guides the application of mindfulness in preconciliation, that is, before the parties begin the formal negotiation of the conflict. To this end, the mixed method of integral review was used, which combines quantitative analysis through the bibliometric technique of scientific mapping, with qualitative coding based on the critical interpretive synthesis technique. As a result, a comprehensive framework is proposed to organize and articulate in synergy the potential fronts for the application of mindfulness, in its multiple meanings, in preconciliation. The proposed framework is relevant to academics, individuals, and organizations from all sectors with an interest in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of these mechanisms.
