Este trabalho contextualiza uma estrutura de rede de informações originada por dados presentes em produção científica, tais como autores, citações, relações entre os autores e as obras científicas, objetivando constituir um modelo de processamento de informações que torne possível identificar, extrair e organizar esses dados de textos em língua portuguesa, baseados nas normas ABNT. Para isso, utilizou-se uma metodologia de natureza qualiquantitativa, em que se criou um modelo utilizando conceitos de citação e referência e posteriormente, foi implementado um protótipo como prova de conceito do modelo elaborado. Diante disso, o estudo parte do seguinte problema: como é possível criar indicadores ou realizar análises de citações e referências bibliográficas em segmentos gerais ou específicos, sem depender de outras entidades, como editoras e jornais. Portanto, espera-se que, com o resultado dessa pesquisa seja possível propor uma solução que seja capaz de identificar, extrair e organizar referências bibliográficas e citações de documentos científicos em qualquer segmento, gerando contribuições significativas para apoiar o desenvolvimento das análises de bases de dados científicas e a construção de novas soluções direcionadas para a ciência, propondo um vínculo aprofundado sobre os dados presentes na pesquisa. Citation studies are fundamental for the development of science, in which multidisciplinarity is present in most scientific research, making citation and reference key factors in the field of scientific communication. This work contextualizes an information network structure originated by data present in scientific production, such as authors, citations, relationships between authors and scientific works, aiming to constitute an information processing model that makes it possible to identify, extract and organize these data. of texts in Portuguese, based on ABNT standards. For this, a qualitative-quantitative methodology was used, in which a model was created using citation and reference concepts and later, a prototype was implemented as proof of concept of the elaborated model. Therefore, the study starts from the following problem: how is it possible to create indicators or carry out analyzes of citations and bibliographic references in general or specific segments, without depending on other entities, such as publishers and newspapers. Therefore, it is expected that, with the result of this research, it will be possible to propose a solution that is capable of identifying, extracting and organizing bibliographic references and citations of scientific documents in any segment, generating significant contributions to support the development of database analysis. and the construction of new solutions aimed at science, proposing a deep link with the data present in the research.

Although peer review is considered one of the main pillars of modern science, experimental methods and protocols seem to be not a rigorous subject of this process in many papers. Commercial equipment, test kits, labeling kits, previously published concepts, and standard protocols are often considered to be not worth a detailed description or validation. Even more disturbing is the extremely biased citation behavior in this context, which sometimes leads to surrogate citations to avoid low-impact journals, preprints, or to indicate traditional practices. This article describes some of these surprising habits and suggests some measures to avoid the most unpleasant effects, which in the long term may undermine the credibility of science as a whole.

Background: The impact of medical research is usually judged on the basis of citations in the serial literature. A better test of its utility is through its contribution to clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) on how to prevent, diagnose, and treat illness. This study aimed to compare the parameters of lung cancer research papers with those cited as references in lung cancer CPGs from 16 countries, and the Cochrane Collaboration. These comparisons were mainly based on bibliographic data compiled from the Web of Science (WoS). Methodology: We examined 7357 references (of which 4491 were unique) cited in a total of 77 lung cancer CPGs, and compared them with 73,214 lung cancer papers published in the WoS between 2004 and 2018. Results: References used by lung CPGs were much more clinical than the overall body of research papers on this cancer, and their authors predominantly came from smaller northern European countries. However, the leading institutions whose papers were cited the most on these CPGs were from the USA, notably the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The types of research cited by the CPGs were primarily clinical trials, as well as three treatment modalities (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery). Genetics, palliative care and quality of life were largely neglected. The median time gap between papers cited on a lung CPG and its publication was 3.5 years longer than for WoS citations. Conclusions: Analysis of the references on CPGs allows an alternative means of research evaluation, and one that may be more appropriate for clinical research than citations in academic journals. Own-country references show the direct contribution of research to a country's health care, and other-country references show the esteem in which this research has been held internationally. © 2021 King's College London

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is continuing to develop as a multidisciplinary, international field of practice and a topic of study itself. As the field matures, one area of interest has been the SoTL literature review. However, there has not been an evidence-based study of SoTL citation practices. The purpose of this study was to analyze one year’s worth of articles from this journal to see how references and in-text citations are used. Overall, 514 references and 954 in-text citations were found across 18 articles. A diverse range of multidisciplinary and specialized academic journals were cited; 8 percent of in-text citations cited a source other than an academic journal. Each reference and in-text citation was coded as either substantive (Applied, Contrastive, or Supportive) or non-substantive (Reviewed or Perfunctory). A high rate of in-text citations (74 percent) were found to be non-substantive, with the majority of non-substantive in-text citations (71 percent) found in either the Introduction or Literature Review sections of the articles. Conversely, of the 26 percent of in-text citations considered substantive, 50 percent were found in either the Results & Discussion or Conclusion sections. We demonstrate the use of the coding scheme as a self-assessment tool and conclude by suggesting that SoTL authors and reviewers could use it to assess the depth and breadth of their literature reviews.

The main objective of this work is to know the perception of the undergraduate and master students of the three Galician universities about the plagiarism commission and check the relationship between it and the citation of documentary sources as a criterion for the evaluation of academics works by teachers of the different knowledge areas. The sample is made up of 8.943 students, with an approximate average age of 21 years, approximately 66% of women and from all knowledge areas. To collect the information, the Questionnaire for the Detection of Coincidences in Academic Work (QUDECO) is used. The data indicates that students have a lower predisposition to commit plagiarism in the event that teachers take action on it in the evaluation process. In conclusion, it is possible to establish a greater need for research about the characteristics of evaluation systems and, consequently, also about the characteristics of the teaching-learning process El principal objetivo de este trabajo es conocer la percepción del alumnado de grado y máster de las tres universidades gallegas sobre la comisión de plagio y comprobar la relación entre ésta y la citación de fuentes documentales como criterio de evaluación de los trabajos académicos por parte del profesorado de las diferentes ramas de conocimiento. La muestra está conformada por 8.943 estudiantes, con una edad media aproximada de 21 años, aproximadamente un 66% de mujeres y de todas las ramas de conocimiento. Para la recogida de la información se emplea el Cuestionario para la Detección de Coincidencias en Trabajos Académicos (CUDECO). Los datos indican que el alumnado tiene una menor predisposición a cometer plagio en el caso de que el profesorado tome medidas sobre ello en el proceso de evaluación. Como conclusión, se puede establecer una mayor necesidad de investigación acerca de las características de los sistemas de evaluación y en consecuencia también de las características del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje Este artículo se ha realizado en el marco del proyecto de investigación financiado por la Xunta de Galicia –Galicia, España- (referencia 002/2019), denominado “Estudio sobre el plagio en estudiantes del sistema universitario de Galicia” SI

Bibliometrics has become an essential tool for assessing and analyzing the output of scientists, cooperation between universities, the effect of state-owned science funding on national research and development performance and educational efficiency, among other applications. Therefore, professionals and scientists need a range of theoretical and practical tools to measure experimental data. This review aims to provide an up-to-date review of the various tools available for conducting bibliometric and scientometric analyses, including the sources of data acquisition, performance analysis and visualization tools. The included tools were divided into three categories: general bibliometric and performance analysis, science mapping analysis, and libraries; a description of all of them is provided. A comparative analysis of the database sources support, pre-processing capabilities, analysis and visualization options were also provided in order to facilitate its understanding. Although there are numerous bibliometric databases to obtain data for bibliometric and scientometric analysis, they have been developed for a different purpose. The number of exportable records is between 500 and 50,000 and the coverage of the different science fields is unequal in each database. Concerning the analyzed tools, Bibliometrix contains the more extensive set of techniques and suitable for practitioners through Biblioshiny. VOSviewer has a fantastic visualization and is capable of loading and exporting information from many sources. SciMAT is the tool with a powerful pre-processing and export capability. In views of the variability of features, the users need to decide the desired analysis output and chose the option that better fits into their aims.

В статье рассматривается роль цитирования библейских текстов в рукописном сборнике проповедей XVII века «Статир». Анализируются отдельные случаи дословного и скрытого цитирования во взаимодействии с различными средствами художественной выразительности, что позволяет выйти на новый уровень понимания авторского текста и обнаружить неочевидные смыслы. The article examines the role of biblical quotes in the 17th century manuscript collection “Statir”. The separate cases of literal and latent citation are analyzed in connection with different means of artistic expressiveness, which allows us to take a step forward to understanding the author’s text and revealing hidden meanings.

In a successful college can’t be forgotten the existence of this one factor is the lecturer. Lecturers are the key to success in universities to educate students and students to be useful for the country and the nation in the future. Some of the lecturers' duties include teaching, research and community service often mentioned by Tri Darma Perguruaan Tinggi. Of the three obligations of a lecturer is asked to have the ability to write skills such as Reports, Theses, Theses, Dissertations, Books, Articles and others. However, to be able to write well it is necessary to practice continuously and know the tools to write one is the tool for the citation and bibliography. Therefore required tools / applications that can help lecturers to write citations and bibliography. Mendeley is an application that can be used to write citations and bibliography but not all lecturers can use this application. Methods in an effort to improve the ability to write lecturers do with several stages of lecture training materials / workshops about the contents of the introduction of Mendeley applications and videos about the ease of using this application, Practice using Mendeley application, Provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions or discussions about the material submitted, Conducting a survey to evaluate is done by spreading Pretest & Posttest quizoner with success indicator of success level understanding of participants in this program is 70%. The result of this activity proves that the lecturer can improve his writing ability is very positive for the development of lecturers expertise in making scientific research work.  Keywords: Quality of lecturer, Writing, Quote, References  ABSTRAK Di dalam perguruan tinggi yang sukses tidak bisa dilupakan adanya faktor yang satu ini yaitu dosen. Dosen merupakan kunci sukses dalam perguruan tinggi untuk mendidik mahasiswa dan mahasiswi agar dapat berguna bagi nusa dan bangsa dimasa yang akan datang. Beberapa tugas dosen diantaranya mengajar, penelitian dan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang sering disebutkan dengan Tri Darma Perguruaan Tinggi. Dari tiga kewajiban seorang dosen tersebut dosen ditutut untuk memiliki kemampuan dalam menulis seperti Laporan, Skripsi, Tesis, Disertasi, Buku, Artikel dan lain-lain. Namun, untuk dapat menulis dengan baik maka perlu latihan secara terus menerus serta mengetahui alat bantu untuk menulis salah satunyanya adalah alat bantu untuk kutipan dan daftar pustaka. Oleh karena itu diperlukan alat/aplikasi yang dapat membantu dosen untuk menulis kutipan dan daftar pustaka. Mendeley merupakan aplikasi yang dapat digunakan untuk menulis kutipan dan daftar pustaka namun tidak seluruh dosen dapat menggunakan aplikasi ini. Metode dalam upaya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan menulis dosen lakukan dengan beberapa tahapan yaitu ceramah materi pelatihan/workshop tentang dengan isi yaitu pengenalan aplikasi Mendeley dan video tentang mudahnya menggunakan applikasi ini, Praktek menggunkan aplikasi Mendeley, Memberikan kesempatan kepada para peserta untuk mengajukan pertanyaan atau diskusi mengenai materi yang disampaikan, Melakukan survei untuk mengevaluasi dilakukan dengan cara menyebarkan kuisoner Pretest & dan Posttest dengan Indikator kerberhasilan tingkat pemahaman peserta pada program ini adalah 70 % . Hasil dari kegiatan ini membuktikan bahwa tingkat pemahaman dosen dapat meningkatkan kemampuan menulis kutipan dan daftar pustaka dan sangat positif bagi pengembangan keahlian dosen dalam membuat karya ilmiah.  K ata Kunci : Kualitas dosen, Menulis, Kutipan, Daftar Pustaka

Getting cited is important for scholars and for the institutions in which they work. Whether because of the influence on scientific progress or because of the reputation of scholars and their institutions, understanding why some articles are cited more often than others can help scholars write more highly cited articles. This article builds upon earlier literature which identifies seemingly superficial factors that influence the citation rate of articles. Three Journal Citation Report subject categories are analyzed to identify these effects. From a set of 2,016 articles in Sociology, 6,957 articles in General & Internal Medicine, and 23,676 articles in Applied Physics, metadata from the Web of Knowledge was downloaded in addition to PDFs of the full articles. In this article number of words in title, number of pages, number of references, sentences in the abstract, sentences in the paper, number of authors and readability were identified as factors for analysis.
