Background: Platinum is a commonly used drug for ovarian cancer (OvCa) treatment, but drug resistance limits its clinical application. This study intended to delineate the effects of adipocytes on platinum resistance in OvCa. Methods: OvCa cells were maintained in the adipocyte-conditioned medium. Cell viability and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 and flow cytometry, separately. Proliferation and apoptosis-related protein expression were assayed by western blot. The IC50 values of cisplatin and carboplatin were determined using CCK-8. IGF1 secretion and expression were assayed via ELISA and western blot, respectively. A xenograft model was established, and pathological changes were detected by H&E staining. Proliferation and apoptosis-associated protein expression was assessed via IHC. Results: Adipocytes promoted the viability and repressed cell apoptosis in OvCa, as well as enhancing platinum resistance, while the addition of IGF-1 R inhibitor reversed the effects of adipocytes on proliferation, apoptosis, and drug resistance of OvCa cells. Treatment with different concentrations of Ojeok-san (OJS) inhibited the adipocyte-induced platinum resistance in OvCa cells by suppressing IGF1. The combined treatment of OJS and cisplatin significantly inhibited tumour growth in vivo with good mouse tolerance. Conclusion: In summary, OJS inhibited OvCa proliferation and platinum resistance by suppressing adipocyte paracrine IGF1 secretion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scientific journals are crucial for disseminating research and providing up-to-date references in various fields. As such, any research that does not refer to current and relevant journals will lose its significance and novelty. Therefore, earnest efforts are necessary to produce quality journals, particularly within higher education institutions. This study aims to analyze the readiness of journals at Tidar University to achieve accreditation as nationally reputable journals through SINTA accreditation. The analysis refers to the instruments and criteria required by the national journal accreditation system (ARJUNA). This research is a descriptive quantitative study using a literature review method by conducting an online search of journal websites. The collected information is analyzed using content analysis methods to obtain information on the readiness of the journals according to the scientific journal accreditation guidelines. Findings indicate that out of 34 journals at Tidar University, 24 (70%) are unaccredited. These unaccredited journals have the potential to pursue accreditation. Journals meeting accreditation requirements include the Journal of Aquaculture Development and Environment (JADE), Journal of Livestock Science and Production (JaLSPro), THETA OMEGA: Journal of Electrical Engineering, Computer, and Information Technology, Jurnal Rekayasa Infrastruktur Sipil, ABDIPRAJA, and Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat (KASTARA). Other journals need to fulfill requirements such as obtaining a DOI, having two years of publication history, and Google Scholar indexing. Based on these findings, the university should support by providing training and mentoring for journal editors to improve management, thereby achieving national accreditation.

The 50th volume of Comparative Population Studies (CPoS) is a significant milestone in the journal’s history, offering us the opportunity to reflect on its development into a key platform for population research, major achievements, and future aspirations. Besides a retrospective, we present a forward-looking perspective, outlining our vision for the journal’s trajectory in an ever-changing scientific landscape. Furthermore, we offer insights from 50 years of CPoS, including the total number of submissions, the geographic origins of our authors, and an analysis of the journal’s most downloaded articles. This editorial is the first in a series accompanying CPoS volume 50 in our anniversary year. Further editorials by former CPoS editors, publishers, and authors will follow, giving an overview of the editorial processes, guiding principles, and strategic considerations that have and will continue to shape the journal’s identity and impact. * This article belongs to a series celebrating the journal's 50th anniversary.

Since the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Decree Number 26 of 1989, namely regarding changing teacher positions to functional positions, teachers have been required to develop their careers. This explains that teachers are required to disseminate the results of Classroom Action Research through seminars, publications, or other means so that the research results can be known to the general public. In general, the dissemination of scientific work is carried out online through the Open Journal System system. However, with the increase in information technology, scientific work produced is prone to plagiarism due to the ease of accessing information. Partners are teachers at SMKN 3 Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands Province. Partners have the problem of a lack of knowledge about how to submit articles via the Open Journal System (OJS) system and plagiarism as well as how to check plagiarism in a scientific work. The method used is to provide knowledge about the Open Journal System (OJS) and Anti-Plagiarism systems and training using software or online Anti-Plagiarism checking applications which can be used for free. The results obtained are that partners understand how to use the OJS system, Plagiarism Checker and Turnitin applications, from 25 (twenty five) participants with a 'Very Good' score of 12%, a 'Good' score of 60%, a 'Medium' score of 28% and 'Not Appearing' value is 0%. Other results in the form of teaching materials and articles with draft status to the Community Service Journal will be published in 2024. The conclusion obtained is the increased capacity of partners in using the OJS system and plagiarism check applications.

In this editorial note, we reflect on the trajectory of Comparative Population Studies (CPoS) over the last decades, highlight major milestones along the road, and sketch our hopes and ideas for its future development. In 1975, the predecessor journal of CPoS named ZfB was established as the scientific journal of the newly founded German Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB). As the Institute grew its international collaborations and the journal transitioned from German to English language, ZfB became CPoS. Today, we are pleased that the journal has grown in statue and attracts high-quality submissions from scholars around the globe. Looking ahead, we envision CPoS as a unique open-access journal in the field of population studies where innovation, scientific rigor and attention to quality work hand-in-hand to advance population studies and respond to societal challenges.

Editor-in-Chief Andres Marrugo discusses the latest developments in the journal.

Introduction. This article describes the names of scientific publications journals in the field of libraries and information, which are increasing in number, and the increasing activity of publishing scientific works that encourage librarians to develop writing habits. Methodology. This article employs a qualitative descriptive semantic approach by using various multi-site names of library journals and information in the PTKIN environment. The focus of this paper lies in the uniqueness of naming library and information journals in the PTKIN environment. Results and discussion. The results showed that the journal's name contains terms derived from Indonesian, local languages, and foreign languages. In addition, there is also the name of the journal, which is an abbreviation of letters that makes it easy to recognize. Conclusion. The names of library and information journals in the PTKIN environment tend to contain the meaning of university libraries in a general sense or things related to library materials.

Open Journal Systems (OJS), a modern era Publishing tool for authors, reviewers and editors have gained a lot of popularity in the recent times as this software is available free for use on web and publishes journal online. While this tool empowers its user to validate, support, control, track publications, etc, at the same time its wide user base has raised few concerns about data security. This article deals with security issues that may arise from the use of this web-based journal management and publishing software by the author and also suggests measures/precautions on how to minimise the possible risk related to data security based on author experience in certain situations. For this, the author has adopted a methodology that synchronises reviewed research papers with thoughts gained by reading various blogs and documentation and doing analysis of same. With this contribution from the author, the user is expected to benefit from the implementation of suggestive guidance/approach as prescribed in this article to overcome similar issues, which may be faced by some users. The author has endeavored to express the associated security issues, recommend solutions and security steps to be followed while using the OJS in certain situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This is a proposal to encode additional Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics in the international character encoding standard Unicode. This set of characters was published in Unicode Standard version 5.2 in October 2009. The characters were added to support Algonquian communities (Cree, Moose Cree, and Ojibway) and Dene communities (Hare Dene, Beaver Dene, Chipewyan, and Carrier).

The recommendations on the main aspects of the electronic journal implementation are given: the normative and legal basis for the functioning, their types, scientific scope, target audience, economic model, editorial policies and periodicity of publication; the software selection for the editorial and publishing process support, the Open Journal Systems (OJS) user roles system; the expected type and format of the journal content, the type of it access, including open access, archiving, indexing and information and analytical monitoring of published scientific works; the formation of the editorial board and staff, the involvement of ICT professionals, their duties and workload, the users and technical team training.

Announcement of transition from Scholastica platform to OJS

This report identifies 50 editorial platforms for electronic journals from Spanish universities and CSIC (Spanish National Research Council). Quantitative data are provided on the number of journals published, their life and upgrade, disciplines covered, number of articles edited in 2019, types of journals by size, percentage of texts in English, number of co-edition cases, indexation in Web of Science and Scopus databases, as well as the number of journals that have obtained the Fecyt Quality seal. The editorial production of the Spanish universities and CSIC is dispersed in numerous titles with a small number of articles, a problem increased by the continuous appearance of new titles. These journals focus especially on disciplines of Social Sciences and Humanities. The current situation shows that practically half of the journals on these platforms are selected in one of the citation indexes (especially in ESCI, a secondary database within WoS), but only a quarter of them have obtained the Fecyt Quality seal. From the analysis, some recommendations are derived for the improvement of institutional portals for their periodicals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The genesis of this paper is a workshop presentation on publishing with Open Journal Systems (OJS) that was delivered during the Kenya Library and Information Services Consortium Pre-Annual General Meeting held on May 30, 2019, at the Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kenya. The article lays the context of online hosting of university sponsored journals in Kenya and gives a background of Online Journals Systems. The paper further describes potential roles that librarians can play in institutional journal publishing. The article concludes that librarians possess the requisite skills for participating in scholarly journal publishing and recommends that including publishing literacy skills in information literacy sessions provides an excellent opportunity to showcase librarians' value in the scholarly journal publishing process.

Se presenta un estudio, a partir del OJS de la Revista Interamericana de Bibliotecología-RIB, en interrelación con otras fuentes de información (E-LIS, Google Scholar, RedAlyc, SciELO, Web of Science-SciELO Citation Index y Scopus), que permitió identificar la visibilidad e impacto nacional e internacional que tiene la Revista, integrando desde estas fuentes y desde el análisis, tanto datos bibliométricos como de altmetrics en sentido general. Se aplica a su vez la propuesta de un nuevo indicador (D/T Metrics) y se plantea la posibilidad para que revistas de realidades y contextos semejantes apliquen la metodología que conllevó este estudio, para poder identificar su visibilidad e impacto, además de tomar decisiones tanto para sus procesos de calidad y gestión editorial como de marketing científico. This is a study based on the OJS of the Inter-American Science Journal -(in Spanish, RIB), interrelated with other sources of information (E-LIS, Google Scholar, RedAlyc, SciELO, Web of Science-SciELO Citation Index and Scopus). This study allowed the identification of the visibility and the international and national impact the journal has had based on these sources and on an analysis of bibliometric data and altmetrics, generally speaking. At the same time, a new indicator proposal (D/T Metrics) is implemented and proposes the possibility for journals of similar realities and contexts to use the methodology that this study completed, to be able to identify the journals visibility and impact and make decisions regarding quality processes and editorial management as well as scientific marketing.

Los investigadores continuamente no hemos visto confrontados frente a la decisión de donde publicar sus artículos, este proceso conlleva a una búsqueda extensa y llena de incertidumbres en todo el proceso editorial, por otro lado, se encuentra la certeza del trabajo realizado, el aporte a la generación de conocimiento y a la certeza académico-administrativa de cumplir con un entregable que se convierte en un indicador o requisito más pero que se debe cumplir sin importar os obstáculos a los que se ve expuesto el investigador.

En este libro el autor nos ofrece una visión pormenorizada de la versión 3.0 del Open Journal Systems (OJS), uno de los programas de código abierto más usados para la automatización de los procesos de publicación, revisión por pares e indización de artículos científicos.

Purpose. Problem of representation lack of scientists’ publications, including transport scientists, in the international scientometric databases is the urgent one for Ukrainian science. To solve the problem one should study the structure and quality of the information flow of scientific periodicals of railway universities in Ukraine and to determine the integration algorithm of scientific publications of Ukrainian scientists into the world scientific information space. Methodology. Applying the methods of scientific analysis, synthesis, analogy, comparison and prediction the author has investigated the problem of scientific knowledge distribution using formal communications. The readiness of Ukrainian railway periodicals to registration procedure in the international scientometric systems was analyzed. The level of representation of articles and authors of Ukrainian railway universities in scientometric database Scopus was studied. Findings. Monitoring of the portals of railway industry universities of Ukraine and the sites of their scientific periodicals and analysis of obtained data prove insufficient readiness of most scientific publications for submission to scientometric database. The ways providing sufficient "visibility" of industry periodicals of Ukrainian universities in the global scientific information space were proposed. Originality. The structure and quality of documentary flow of scientific periodicals in railway transport universities of Ukraine and its reflection in scientometric DB Scopus were first investigated. The basic directions of university activities to integrate the results of transport scientists research into the global scientific digital environment were outlined. It was determined the leading role of university libraries in the integration processes of scientific documentary resources of universities into the global scientific and information communicative space. Practical value. Implementation of the proposed activity algorithm of Ukrainian universities to integrate the scientific publications into the world digital environment will increase the importance of Ukrainian scientific periodicals, including the railway ones, affect the positive dynamics in the university rating, strengthen the authority Ukrainian science in the world and attract potential investors.

Según Open Journal Systems, los editores tienen como función supervisar el proceso editorial, que comienza con la asignación de un responsable desde el momento mismo en que el manuscrito es recibido y discurre el largo camino de revisión de formato, evaluación por pares, ajustes solicitados por los árbitros, verificación de los cambios y publicación; igualmente, tienen a cargo la labor comunicativa entre autores, evaluadores y público interesado, sin dejar de lado las relaciones que la revista debe mantener con la academia y los órganos administrativos oficiales y los centros de documentación que le permiten hacer visible el trabajo llevado a cabo.

El presente artículo describe las estrategias que están siendo aplicadas para lograr la adopción de la plataforma Open Journal Systems (OJS) como herramienta de gestión editorial de las revistas de la Universidad de Los Andes (ULA). OJS es una herramienta tecnológica de amplio uso a nivel mundial, que facilita gran parte de las tareas involucradas en los procesos de gestión editorial de revistas académicas. Entre las estrategias aplicadas se encuentran la organización de talleres para editores interesados en el uso de OJS, la generación de material de soporte y la atención personalizada a los usuarios de esta plataforma. La adopción de este tipo de herramientas por parte de los editores de revistas de la ULA ha sido creciente pero aún lenta. Se han implementado hasta la fecha 17 revistas con OJS; de las cuales 8 son administradas directamente por sus editores, aunque la mayor parte aun no utiliza todas las posibilidades de gestión editorial ofrecidas por la herramienta, usándola principalmente solo para la publicación electrónica de los contenidos. El personal de SaberULA se encarga de publicar los contenidos de las 9 revistas restantes. Para avanzar en la adopción de este tipo de herramientas tecnológicas, la institución debe incentivar de varias maneras a los editores de revistas, incluyendo la generación y aplicación de políticas relacionadas con el libre acceso a la producción intelectual de la institución.
