He prevalence of information anxiety in the context of the digital society is not limited to a specific sector but affects the population as a whole (Bawden and Robinson, 2009). However, it is imperative to direct our attention to a particularly susceptible group to experience this phenomenon: university students. This assertion is based on previous research indicating that this demographic group may be especially vulnerable to experiencing this type of anxiety (Eklof, 2013 and Costa, 2022). This vulnerability is rooted in the academic demands that university students face, which are compounded by family and social responsibilities that also fall upon them. This convergence of factors unfolds in an increasingly complex information environment. In this context, university students are subjected to significant pressure that can considerably elevate anxiety levels. As a result of this interaction, a diversified impact is observed, ranging from academic performance to the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of students.

A descriptive analysis of the Library's contribution to the internationalization of the University is carried out, based on the most significant fields of action indicated by the specialized bibliography: collection management and information resources, support for research and scientific publication, training aimed at the university community and the library staff, collaboration with exchange programs and professional stays, and participation in international projects. It is concluded that the Library has great potential to become an internationalization agent, by including this facet in its strategic planning, turning it into a mission or purpose, becoming a fundamental aspect in the implementation of functions, resources, and services, as well as in the development of processes and procedures.

This article presents a narrative review of the literature on journal quality. It discusses the emphasis on the impact factor (IF) as a measure of journal quality in scientific publishing and in the scientific evaluation processes. The narrative review is organized into subtopics: IF, broad quality measures, scientific literature indexer criteria, Open Science movement guidelines, and the dimensional approach to quality in which quality items are abstracted into four dimensions. We conclude by pointing out the need to recognize broad aspects of journal quality. Trześniak's four-dimensional model contributes to this, as well as new approaches such as the TOP guidelines of the Open Science movement, and initiatives aimed at transparency and integrity in research.

Discussing steps in systematic literature review in health sciences

The Colloquia were held from September 13 to 15, 2022. This year, the biggest challenge for Brazilians was to rescue democracy, which would restore dignity, recognize citizenship, reduce inequalities and guarantee social well-being. It is a practical task to which critical thinking can contribute a lot. The central theme of the Colloquia was “Solidarity, public policies and democracy”. The Covid-19 pandemic and the global health emergency situation proclaimed by the World Health Organization since the beginning of 2020 have aggravated and exacerbated chronic problems of unemployment, extreme poverty and hunger, while at the same time bringing enormous pressure on health systems. . The school system suffered a strong setback, with the suspension of classes as a strategy to prevent the incidence of cases. All of this took on the appearance of a tragedy because it happened when the Brazilian government was in the hands of the extreme right. The execution of its neoliberal agenda attacked and reduced the social security system, with disregard for human and social rights. The pandemic found the health system in full dismantling of its primary care network. The end of the Mais Médicos program was just a visible part of this process. What happened to the Brazilian school system from the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic was terrible. Millions of children and adolescents were left without face-to-face classes, and most of them did not have effective conditions to seek distance learning. Education implies socialization and two years of reduced interactions certainly have strong consequences for learning and sociocultural development.

In order to promote citizen awareness of the principles of transparency and open government, through access to information from public institutions from a gender perspective, we believe that identifying trends and possible inequalities based on the data that are published is essential to be able to define public policies that guarantee equality and non-discrimination.

Content curation is an activity that consists of the selection of digital content and its subsequent re-elaboration and publication or dissemination of the same. In recent years, its use in social networks is fundamental, since it guarantees the dissemination of content in different ways and generates greater promotion and a new vision about said content, attracting new readers or interested parties. This is the case of scientific journals, which disseminate the scientific content they publish, as well as eventually other content related to their thematic areas, on their own social platforms. Good content curation, and scientific content is no exception, requires the correct use of curation strategies and techniques. This paper aims to study the good practices in content curation of Ibero-American communication journals listed in the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR). A list of 44 journals was obtained, of which active social networks were only found in 16 of them. Next, the publications on these social networks were reviewed following an analysis template, around the type or healing technique used and the topic addressed. As topics, the contents about the current number, other numbers and notices/various contents were considered. As techniques, the main ones described in the specialized bibliography were considered: extracting, renaming, summarizing, commenting, citing, storyboarding and parallelizing. Finally, from all the information found, a series of good practices were extracted, which can serve as a reference for publications in the sector and other magazines when presenting their scientific content on social networks. Among the results of the research, it can be seen how extracting prevails in journals depending on the ease of its application, that in some cases there is an outstanding use of techniques that provide more added value to the publication, such as summarizing, commenting or to cite, and lastly, Storyboarding and parallelizing techniques were the least used.

This paper analyse the scientometric attributes of the publications that appeared in the Indian Journal of Animal Science, a scientific journal in animal breeding, physiology, nutrition, dairying, animal production and fisheries, etc. from 2015 to 2020. The bibliographic records of publications were retrieved from the Web of Science database and retrieved 1720 research papers. The collected data were analysed by using Web of Science and biblioshiny software. The results revealed that the maximum number of research papers were published during the year 2020 and also received maximum citations in the same year. The research contribution also followed the Lotka’s Law and found that the maximum contribution was given by the researchers of ICAR - Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Bareilly and the highest research publications were from India.

In the context of the Open Access and Open Science initiatives, Research Data Management becomes relevant and of current interest to researchers, libraries, and institutions that contribute to the development of scientific knowledge. Particularly in Astronomy, it is a challenge to convert, standardize, process, and arrange large volumes of information and data (estimated in several petabytes), coming from the results of astronomical observations, astronomical catalogs, computational codes, among others, which constitute a fundamental initial step in scientific research [1]. Due to this, and the limited studies on this subject, a bibliometric methodology was applied to analyze indexed datasets in the Data Citation Index (Web of Science, Clarivate Analytics) in the Astronomy & Astrophysics category, for the period 2010-2019, allowing to identify annual evolutions, countries, and institutions with higher productivity, main repositories, and hosting platforms used in publications indexed in Web of Science. The analysis was complemented with InCites (Clarivate Analytics) bibliometric tools to determine the linkage of the publications with the datasets and their impact. The results from this study show a substantial increase in the number of indexed datasets provided by institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, and Chile, during the analyzed period. In turn, the publications that cite the main datasets show superior performances in the number of citations and the standardized impact, among other productivity and impact metrics.

This article describes the adaptation of the teaching activities of the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (Esmuc) to the confinement established for the containment of COVID-19, in terms of teaching, Technology and resources available to teachers and the students. The digital tools used to conduct online classes during confinement are described, and the impact and effects that this sudden technological adaptation has had on teaching and services. The analysis of the content of the surveys carried out on teachers and students shows the difficulties of adapting to the virtual environment, especially the subjects of instrumental ensemble, improvisation and instrument, due to technological problems such as delay, low quality sound, lack of sound range, among others; the psychological effects arising from a borderline situation such as imposed confinement and social inequality of students which is evidenced in the problems of access to the resources needed for learning. This study shows the digital transformation that COVID-19 has pushed at Esmuc.

This paper uses a literature review which identifies definitions and current context on Open Science and presents the Open Science Training Manual of the FOSTER group in its Spanish version developed as an initiative of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). The Open Open movement in the Latin American context still has a lot to offer, therefore it is important to promote is important to promote training and awareness of the open access movement.

On May 1, 2020, Sarah Elizabeth Lewis wondered, from the New York Times’ pages, where were the pictures of people dying from COVID-19, the images of the real victims of the pandemic (Lewis, 2020). She claimed to see images able to arise empathic responses from the audience. She defended the transformative potential of this kind of photography, as it is widely demonstrated by the legacy that some photojournalists have left behind us since they began to witness conflicts, wars, and natural disasters. However, the publication of sick, dying, or deceased people’s images in the media has become an increasingly exceptional fact, especially, when it comes to our dead or dying people. During the firsts weeks of the coronavirus crisis, the media, news agencies and freelance photographers have been trying to find situations and capture images capable of showing the exceptionality of this pandemic, as only photography knows to do it: in a synthetic, universal way, incorporating all those elements that transform a singular image into an iconic one. Photographs that over the years become a symbol of a moment, of an event, or a conflict. On June 3, David Ramos, photographer for the Getty Images agency, went to the Hospital del Mar, in Barcelona, to catch the moment when the medical team accompanied Mr. Isidre Correa, a COVID-19 patient who had been in suffering for more than 50 days in the ICU, to see the sea. The image went around the world immediately. Why did that photograph work? What visual elements does it contain that make it so exceptional? This communication analyses the persistence of visual tropes related to the photographic narration of catastrophes as well as their iconographic updates.

The great challenges that scientific journals have in relation to open access are presented, such as economic sustainability and the defense of quality in editorial processes, among others. An example is shown of how the journal "Profesional de la información" affects these challenges.

In the following article, we will try to stage how librarians are and how libraries are going through this context of pandemic caused by Covid-19. For this reason, we want to think about how we position ourselves in the face of an unforeseen situation, in the face of a variable not considered, in the face of a global symptom. On the contrary, the writing is not intended to be a decalogue of how to act, given the impossibility of our daily work, in our functions and activities of libraries of any type. In addition, it is intended to propose a space for reflection and introspection.

In the knowledge economy era, information has become the main asset of organizations, regardless of their typology. In response to this scenario, organizations have opted for the active application of intelligence models based on knowledge of the cultural, social, political, business and technological environment from a holistic, dynamic and flexible point of view. This has favored the emergence of new approaches to Intelligence, which like the more traditional approaches, seek to collect, analyze, interpret and disseminate high value data and information at the right time for use in decision-making processes. However, this does not mean that organizations should assume that more traditional intelligence strategies continue to be viable, on the contrary, the "new rules of the game" are currently being defined and therefore we face completely radical changes. In this sense, it is necessary to review the origins of the concept of intelligence to capture the essence, analyze its evolution and consider trends, with the aim of rethinking and redesigning the concept of Intelligence from an integrative approach, regardless of the nuance or scope of application that our organizations are using. The idea of having a single framework of Intelligence adapted to the reality of the organizations will bring with it a greater diffusion of this discipline and a series of advantages for the organizations themselves. In order to achieve this, a detailed analysis of all existing publications in the literature is proposed through tools specialized in the treatment of large amounts of information. From this analysis, we will obtain the current picture of the concept of intelligence, its main lines of work and research, as well as short/medium term trends.

Today, the Big Data term has a multidimensional approach where five main characteristics stand out: volume, velocity, veracity, value and variety. It has changed from being an emerging theme to a growing research area. In this respect, this study analyses the literature on Big Data in the Economics, Econometrics and Finance field. To do that, 1.034 publications from 2015 to 2019 were evaluated using SciMAT as a bibliometric and network analysis software. SciMAT offers a complete approach of the field and evaluates the most cited and productive authors, countries and subject areas related to Big Data. Lastly, a science map is performed to understand the intellectual structure and the main research lines (themes).

Ensuring information and communication in quality health to the population means being able to influence the behavior of a given community. In this context, social networks have gained considerable space when the discussion involves the desire for social change, since it is in everyday life that people act, interact, formulate and exchange ideas and opinions, including about health, which can lead to the transformation of behavior of society. The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions of medical students about access to health information, focusing on the importance of this process not only for health education, but also as a tool for digital inclusion and citizenship. The work has as theoretical reference the Theory of Social Representations. This is an exploratory descriptive research, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. Questionnaires were applied to 150 medical students in 2017. Data analysis was done through the Collective Subject Discourse. Qualiquantisoft was used to tabulate the data. From the data collection and analysis, it was observed that the age range of the students interviewed ranged from 18 to 30 years of age in both questionnaires. Most of the students surveyed answered that they use information sources weekly (81%). 96% practice using the internet; 73% seek publications in the health area; and 63% consult health professionals for information. It was noticed that the most used places for access to information are the residence and university (80% and 69%, respectively). Regarding online tools, most students responded that they preferred websites with medical content/health portals (76%) and databases/journals (71%). These results, therefore, corroborate with the discussion about the presence of the internet in the daily life of students. Regarding the impact that health information has on their lives, students reported that information contributes to academic knowledge, personal and professional development, and the promotion of citizenship (85%, 80% and 78%, respectively). Most of the interviewees consider that the study on health information is beneficial and essential (80%) for the humanization process of health professionals, and specifically for the humanization of future physicians. Thus, it is observed that medical students recognize the importance of open science to guarantee access to information and communication in health.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual analysis of hydrogen production from biomass research in literature by quantifying the main bibliometric performance indicators, identifying the main authors, countries, journals and research areas and evaluating the intellectual structure and evolution of the field using SciMAT as a bibliometric analysis software. In this way, the methodology implemented in this research encompasses both the bibliometric performance analysis and science mapping approaches of biomass-based hydrogen production research themes. The bibliometric performance analysis is centered on the citation-based impact of the scientific output, while science mapping illustrates the evolution of the research themes that build the field through the use of bibliometric network analysis techniques. The publications related to biomass-based hydrogen production research available at Scopus have been compiled between 1979 and 2019 (876 publications). Finally, the paper provides objective evidence of the evolution of the hydrogen production from biomass field, which confirms the interest that researchers have in this theme to develop new capabilities. Finally, it offers a framework to support researchers evaluating the field and, finally, to assist them in the development and direction of their future analysis identifying trends in terms of research.

The professionals and researches involved in this area of knowledge are seeking to uncover the conceptual structure and define a roadmap to reduce the time of research, development, testing/validation and industrialization. OBJECTIVE The main aim of this contribution is to develop a bibliometric analysis to evaluate the performance and conceptual evolution of the Fuel-Cell technologies from 1968 to 2018. The analysis is developed using SciMAT.

It is necessary to redefine the function of the traditional library in society and because of this it is essential to be part of the virtual environment. The use of networks implies a new way of socializing information and suggests a new paradigm of relationship and interactivity between users and the library through their platforms.

Introduction : In October 2018 Telegram channel "Investiga, que algo queda" was created. This poster evaluates the use of this messaging application to disseminate research-related information. Material and Methods : An online questionnaire was conducted using Google's forms tool and subscribers were invited to complete it during the week of 4-11 January 2019. Results : From 449 channel subscribers, 78 responded to the survey and 77 questionnaires (17.14%) (associated confidence interval ±10.18 with 95% confidence level) were finally incorporated into the study. No significant differences in gender distribution were observed. Grouped by age interval 59.8% of the participants were older than 36 years (P<0.001). Likewise, a majority of participants (50%) have higher studies of bachelor's and master's degrees as well as doctorate (15%). 90.9% of the participants in the survey stated that they were located in Spain, with significant differences in their distribution by Regions, with Madrid standing out with 22.9% (n=16) (P<0.001). The main source of knowledge of the channel among the participants was Twitter (83.1%; P<0.001). Significantly, respondents considered that the channel provides interesting content (49.4%; P=0.002). Regarding the scope of work, 55 of the participants did so in the health sector (71.4%) (P<0.0001). Based on the work sector (health vs. non-health), no differences were observed between the users of the channel with respect to gender, degree, age, device used for consultations or interest generated by the channel (P>0.05 in all cases). Conclusions : Social networks are a fundamental platform to facilitate communication, interaction and connections between professionals. In this context, the Telegram channel "Investiga, que algo queda" awakens a similar interest between health and non-healthcare professionals, with Twitter being the main way of disseminating it. We believe that nowadays social networks can act as a fundamental tool for training in research.

This is a presentation for European Network of OpenEduction Librarians (SPARC). On the one hand, it shows the actions taken by the European Commission: from the establishment of an European framework for open education to an overview of current educational policies. On the other hand, it informs about concrete experiences and a series of recommendations for the design of policies that favor the opening of education. In addition, the relationship of Open Education with Open Science is analized. Finally, it is considered whether support for open education is an opportunity for academic libraries and the influence of information professionals in the open educational context.

Introduction: this work is based on a historical-sociological approach, with the intention of using the conceptual dialogue of the social sciences with the informational concepts in the reorganization of the culture of the Paiter-Suruí ethnic group in its relation with contemporary culture and the digital world. Far beyond cultural exchanges and impositions, the imperative of acquisition through the social appropriation of technologies, communication and information (ICT) induced the Paiter-Suruí to a cultural adaptation and resistance to the network society. Objective: the paper proposes to present the process of transition from oral memory to digital memory. Methodology: This is a case study with documentary survey of the period of 2006: Paiterey Garah Indigenous Land Management Plan, Ethnozoneament and Oral Transcriptions to the present day of the Paiter-Suruí partnership with Google Inc., bibliographical review of information science, dialoguing with the social sciences. Results: the research reveals the process of cultural transition through social appropriation, reflecting the consequences, pros, cons and perspectives. Conclusions: social appropriation did not replace Paiter-Suruí´s oral tradition. Their expressions extended and the digital media became one of their presentations. The preservation of culture continues to be oral, but virtual sharing with other cultures announces them to the world. Their frontiers expanded beyond the real territory, their virtual expansion allowed them visibility and that, now, their voice echoes.

The Project Management (PM) discipline has remained unchanged over decades, but the practice of this discipline has changed greatly in the last years. Bearing in mind that the PM as become a core activity for organizations and professionals, independently of their area of expertise, it is necessary to develop professional competencies for new project managers. In this way, there are different competency development models, including the ICB 4.0 model of the International Project Management Association (IPMA). Taking this into account, the current research conducts an intellectual and bibliometric analysis of the International Journal of Project Management (IJPM) from 1983 to 2018, in order to know the main research themes and see how these are related to the project management competencies. Finally, it provides a framework to support project managers in the development and direction of future researches identifying emerging, transversal, core and declining themes.
