Reseña de Crónicas periodísticas del siglo XIX. Antología. Coordinación, selección y prólogo de Miguel Ángel Castro; colaboración, edición y asesoría de Ana María Romero Valle y María Bertha V. Guillén. México: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Investigaciones Bibliográficas, 2023, 542 p. ISBN: 978-607-30-7619-7.

María Elvira Lacaci fue una poeta española galardonada y antologada. Dos de sus tres poemarios recibieron premios nacionales. Los temas que vertebran su poesía son la relación con Dios y la preocupación social. Fue una de las voces poéticas religiosas más auténticas del siglo XX español. No hay estudios que aborden su poesía completa, aún sin publicar. Este trabajo pretende iniciar un proceso de investigación sistemática de su poesía religiosa, para lo cual se caracterizan sus poemas publicados en antologías de tema religioso. En esta aproximación surge una escritora ascética, que combate por su fe, y mística, que recibe mensajes divinos sin espectáculo, en medio de la calle y de los afanes de su vida cotidiana.

El artículo explora la relación entre el movimiento modernista —liderado por el poeta nicaragüense Rubén Darío— y la expresión católica en México a principios del siglo XX, a través de un análisis de El Tiempo Ilustrado, editado por Victoriano Agüeros. El Tiempo Ilustrado tenía como objetivo principal crear una publicación que registrara la cultura nacional mexicana, con marcada influencia de la Iglesia católica. No obstante, la autoridad estética del modernismo durante ese periodo y el prestigio de Darío permearon sus páginas, generando una negociación entre el movimiento secular cosmopolita y los propósitos religiosos de la revista. Este estudio examina cómo el catolicismo influyó en Darío y en el modernismo, al igual que en su expresión poética, y analiza de qué manera este movimiento estético intervino en la revista católica mexicana más popular de la época.

Este artículo propone un acercamiento intermedial a la configuración simbólica de lo postsecular, atendiendo al espacio de cruce entre el texto propiamente literario (novela-texto) y el texto visual de la ilustración de portada (novela-libro). En la medida en que existe una literatura postsecular en el contexto español, nos interesa adentrarnos en el análisis de cómo las imágenes que ilustran dichas publicaciones interactúan, por un lado, con ese mismo concepto de lo postsecular en la configuración de una imagen autónoma y, por otro, con un texto con el que la imagen establece una relación de interpretación mutua. Este análisis revela la función de estas representaciones visuales como portales de paso al complejo diálogo que existe entre temas religiosos y narrativas contemporáneas, y entre éstos y la cultura visual del momento. El análisis versará sobre tres obras narrativas publicadas en España desde finales del siglo XX hasta la actualidad, que tienen un particular encaje en la reflexión sobre lo religioso en el momento contemporáneo postsecular: El hereje (1998) de Miguel Delibes, Crematorio (2007) de Rafael Chirbes y Pasión del dios que quiso ser hombre (2014) de Rafael Argullol.

Este trabajo se centra en el Diario de los Niños (1839-1840), primera publicación periódica infantil moderna de México. Aunque estudios anteriores lo han situado en el contexto de la formación de México como nación emergente, destacándolo como manifestación de los pensamientos liberales imperantes sobre la ciencia y educación de la época, este artículo propone una interpretación más matizada. Se argumentará que las tendencias liberales católicas evidentes en esta publicación, particularmente aquellas que abogan y promueven los roles sociales de la fe cristiana, son esenciales para entender la formación del niño como sujeto social y la importancia otorgada a la religión en la sociedad durante las convulsas décadas de 1830 y 1840. Se prestará especial atención a los textos que fomentan visiones religiosas y morales comunitarias.

En un marco de tensión acumulada entre la Iglesia católica y el Estado mexicano, la Guerra Civil española colocó al clero mexicano ante una encrucijada. Este artículo muestra las posturas que en Christus, revista al servicio del episcopado mexicano, fueron expresadas respecto al conflicto peninsular. Puede apreciarse desde el comienzo una clara simpatía hacia la rebelión cívico militar. Asimismo, este escrito pretende reflejar los motivos de tal posicionamiento y el porqué de algunos cambios en su tesitura entre 1936 y 1939. La visión que Christus proyectaba respecto a la lucha en España permite acaso vislumbrar, con el correr de los años, que el discurso católico militante tuvo que contenerse en algún grado, quizá para no comprometer la conciliación entre la jerarquía eclesiástica y el gobierno del general Lázaro Cárdenas.

El artículo aborda la crítica literaria y el pensamiento conservador en México durante el siglo XIX, y centra su análisis en la crítica literaria de José María Roa Bárcena. Se discute la relación entre conservadores, catolicismo y literatura, así como la crítica a las obras contemporáneas en comparación con las clásicas, una cuestión que comparte la pluma de Roa Bárcena con otros críticos asociados a otras corrientes ideológicas. Se destaca la sensibilidad conservadora en la producción cultural decimonónica, la crítica de las novelas románticas francesas y la visión del liberalismo como una enfermedad, además de resaltar la propuesta de Roa Bárcena de adaptar textos antiguos a los sentidos modernos sin perder su mensaje moral, abogando por un cambio medido y necesario en la literatura mexicana.

En mayo de 1929 empezó a circular, desde la ciudad de Guadalajara, Bandera de Provincias, revista cuya idea original se gestó en la casa del joven escritor Agustín Yáñez (1904-1980), donde solían reunirse los cinco miembros fundadores de la publicación. Su subtítulo, Quincenal de Cultura, marca tanto su periodicidad como sus amplios intereses, en diferentes expresiones: literatura, artes gráficas, música, cinematografía, cultura popular, etc. Sin ningún mecenazgo, ni particular ni gubernamental, alcanzó a publicar —en el lapso de un año y en formato tabloide— 24 números y 2 suplementos. Como su nombre indica, esta revista fue un loable intento por promover la cultura desde diversos ámbitos de las provincias mexicanas, en lugar de esperar que el centralismo de Ciudad de México las proveyera con materiales culturales. A cien años de distancia, la “bandera” que desplegaron puede leerse hoy como una muestra palpable de la diversidad cultural mexicana.

Este artículo tiene tres ejes fundamentales: 1) Esbozar una reflexión teórica sobre una posible “literatura del exilio” como género, a partir de distinguir sus definiciones, particularidades conceptuales y principales tipologías. 2) Presentar al escritor mexicano Victoriano Salado Álvarez como un “autor del exilio”, paradójicamente atado a fuertes vínculos de nacionalidad. 3) Narrar su experiencia en el exilio centroamericano durante la Revolución mexicana, y a la vez mostrar su legado en la cultura, las costumbres y, especialmente, en la historia política de esa región, con la convicción de ver en este autor a un notable centroamericanista, veta tan fascinante como poco estudiada no sólo en su extensa obra, sino en la historia de la literatura mexicana.

Reseña de Los raros y los otros (autores y ediciones). Coordinación y edición de Pablo Mora. México: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Investigaciones Bibliográficas, 2023, 352 p., il. ISBN: 978-607-30-7210-6.

Following the increase of false news about the COVID-19 disease and the psychological and social effects that have resulted, detecting fake news during the COVID-19 pandemic is one of the critical things that can be effective in this field. Therefore, the current study investigated the relationship and role of media literacy in predicting students' ability to detect fake news during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research was applied using a descriptive survey method. The statistical population of this research consists of all the students of Razi University; 371 students were selected as the sample population by stratified random sampling. A standard media literacy questionnaire with 20 questions was used to collect data and a researcher-made questionnaire on the ability to detect fake news in the COVID-19 pandemic based on the eight components of the IFLA notification in 34 questions. The results showed that the level of media literacy and the ability to detect fake news during the COVID-19 pandemic is average. Media literacy, with a correlation coefficient of 0.56, has a positive and significant relationship with the ability to detect fake news during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, with a path coefficient of 0.64, the predictive power detects fake news in the COVID-19 pandemic more than students. Training and measures should be taken to improve students' media literacy skills and increase their ability to deal with fake news.

During COVID-19, the authenticity and degree of marketing information services at Al-Balqa Applied University Center (Salt) confronted various challenges in obtaining information sources. This study however aimed at examining those issues and challenges using a questionnaire designed for library patrons. Based on the findings, the library should take a further step ahead by developing plans and strategies to boost the level of techniques to offer services to users and to expand continuous training programs. The limitations of the library and its services in this area are reflected in the problems that the community customers experience. The study also aimed at examining the library's potential role in marketing services, which was represented in the educational process and scientific research to develop and interact with worldwide quality standards as well as the implementation of local environmental laws

With the increase of studies in the field of university-industry cooperation, the need to integrate studies that have investigated the research process of this interaction has become more apparent. In this regard, the present research analyzed the review and bibliometric studies of the interaction between university and industry using a scoping review. The guide provided by Daudt, Van Mossel and Scott (2013) is the basis for conducting the scoping review. We used international databases, and 2,590 articles were retrieved. After sampling based on the PRISMA diagram and using the JBI institute for the quality of the selected sources, 64 articles were selected for the final analysis. A review of studies analyzing university-industry interaction showed that research publications in this field have grown despite random fluctuations. Various factors account for the growth of studies in this field, including transforming the missions and activities of universities by moving towards entrepreneurship and commercialization of research and the formation of entrepreneurial universities, increasing technology transfer offices, the growth of inventions in universities, and expanding research collaborations. The most crucial obstacle to university-industry alliances is the difference in their goals and missions. Intermediary institutions, especially science parks, and incubators, are essential for effective communication between universities and industry. Some of the most critical topics in University-Industry Interaction are innovation, economic development, sustainable development, science parks and incubators, start-ups, spin-offs, knowledge transfer, technology transfer, entrepreneurship, and research commercialization.

Developments in information and communication technologies have created a new type of voluntary activity called online volunteering, in which volunteers fulfill their duties from outside the workplace. Therefore, this study aims to identify and categorize online voluntary activities available to public libraries and information centers. This applied research was conducted using the survey method. Data collection was performed using observation and Delphi method. The participants in the Delphi survey rounds included 15 experts in the field of information and knowledge science (faculty members, library managers, and library sections' directors) who were interviewed in two rounds, and their opinions were used to conclude. The present study's findings suggest that 33 different voluntary activities can be performed as virtual volunteering in public libraries. These services can be divided into three general categories: content development, training/counseling, and promoting/informing. Among these, content development with 22 different activities has the most possibility of online volunteering activities, training/counseling with six activities, and promoting/informing with five activities are the following categories, respectively. In addition, for each of these three categories, relevant general competencies are presented separately, while for 33 voluntary activities, specialized goals and competencies are suggested by experts. Considering the variety of activities that public libraries can perform virtually through their volunteers, it seems necessary to identify the capacities and capabilities of libraries and volunteers so that the maximum efficiency of volunteers is achieved in reaching the library's goals. No study on identifying and categorizing voluntary activities in public libraries and information centers is available. While identifying and categorizing these activities, the present research mentions the goals for each activity and specifies general and specialized conditions for volunteers to perform the same activity.

Social networking tools are the inevitable essence of life. The flexible structure of social networks paves the way for communication and collaboration between users and librarians. So here, the paper constitutes a study of the central libraries of Four multidisciplinary universities in Kerala in terms of the usage of social networks and digital infrastructures for promoting and marketing library information sources and services. Data collected from the official library websites, Web portals and social media applications of Kerala University Library (KUL) of the University of Kerala, Mahatma Gandhi University Library (MGUL) of Mahatma Gandhi University, Hermann Gundert Central Library (HGCL) of Kannur university and CH Mohammed Koya Library (CHKML) of University of Calicut in Kerala, other universities libraries in Kerala have no sufficient social media or official websites for the knowledge organization and communication. The study determines the social networking tools and digital infrastructure used for information communication, Knowledge organization, Knowledge distribution, and Information promotion in the central Libraries of four multidisciplinary universities in Kerala. The study also portrays the benefits of social networking tools in libraries, marketing techniques used to deliver information sources and services, and implementation of 4P’s in Multidisciplinary university libraries of Kerala. These four central libraries of four universities in Kerala have an enormous collection of social networks like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp, etc. All the libraries of multidisciplinary universities in Kerala use websites to organize their information. Mahatma Gandhi University Library of Mahatma Gandhi University is in the first position for using social media as compared to other university libraries. Facebook is the most common tool used by three central libraries of multidisciplinary universities in Kerala. CH Mohammed Koya University Library of the University of Calicut not using social media instead they take advantage of Chatbot, Web Portal, and Digital Library.

The study sought to assess the use of reference management software among final-year students at technical universities in Ghana. Further, it sought to determine the role of training and support in using Reference Management Software in the two technical universities selected for the study. The explanatory sequential design was used for this study. Data was collected purposively from Accra Technical University, and convenience sampling was used for Takoradi Technical University. 210 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to final-year Bachelor of Technology students from both universities. Interviews were conducted with six information literacy instructors in both institutions. From the findings, Mendeley was the most used Reference Management Software among students of the two universities; Accra Technical University students were more aware of Reference Management Software than Takoradi Technical University students; Accra Technical University students used Reference Management Software more and were more confident in its usage than Takoradi Technical University students; but had challenges that were more fundamental than Takoradi Technical University such as inadequate basic infrastructure for training and support. From the results, training, and support rendered to students in Accra Technical University had a bearing on their awareness and usage of Reference Management Software. Thus, it was recommended that training time be extended to make enough room for practical sessions for students to grasp Reference Management Software

AbstractDeciding upon faculty members’ promotion or tenure is one of the most important tasks in higher education, and it has piqued the interest of researchers from different fields. This has led to an increased number of deep studies in recent years and resulted in an increasing publication growth rate. So, it seems essential that a comprehensive analytical study be done in this field with a bibliometrics approach aiming to identify research trends and patterns in the field of faculty members’ appraisal systems. The Web of Science was utilized for data collection through a search process on August 2, 2022, in which terms related to promotion, evaluation, and faculty members were searched in the topic section of all databases. By identifying research evolution (word and thematic evolution), core journals (Scientometrics), active countries (USA, United Kingdom, and China), types of research collaboration, and leading institutions in this field, policymakers can gain insights into the current state of research in this area and make informed decisions about future directions for faculty evaluations. Policymakers can use the study's findings to identify which institutions are leading the way in faculty appraisal research and collaborate with them to share best practices. Thematic mapping also allows for the identification of emerging research areas and helps researchers develop effective research strategies. Overall, this study's findings can help universities and policymakers develop more evidence-based and effective faculty member evaluation policies that promote academic excellence and contribute to the overall success of higher education institutions.

This research analyzed the accounting field's scientific collaboration network and conceptual structure. All documents published in core accounting journals from 2006-2022 in Scopus with over 9 citations were examined. Scientific collaboration and co-occurrence networks were analyzed and visualized using VOSviewer software. The publishing of accounting documents is primarily led by three major countries: The United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Authors and institutions from these nations actively contribute to the publications in this field. Additionally, recent studies have shown a notable rise in research output in accounting from Malaysia, Germany, China, Italy, and Indonesia. The word co-occurrence revealed six subject areas within the field of accounting. These areas encompass emerging accounting and management control trends, financial reporting and market dynamics, sustainability reporting, corporate social responsibility, international financial reporting standards and accounting regulation, corporate governance, and firm performance, and audit quality and assurance. By tracking significant developments in accounting research, it becomes evident that the discipline has evolved from establishing foundational concepts and practices to focusing on financial reporting, auditing, corporate governance, international accounting, social and environmental considerations, technology integration, and specialized areas of interest.

The present study examined review articles in medical sciences and analyzed their citations of retracted Iranian papers. This was a quantitative and applied study using scientometrics and descriptive cross-sectional approaches. Review articles' citation trends of retracted studies were investigated using the quantitative method, and the status of the mentioned citations was determined using the descriptive method. The study population comprised 53 review studies that cited 28 retracted Iranian articles. The current study on review articles citing retracted papers revealed that most citations in 2019 were in the form of systematic reviews and meta-analyses by Iranian authors. These articles were occasionally published in journals with a high credibility and impact factor. Although the most frequent reasons for article retraction in the present study were scientific misconduct, most of the citing review articles did not mention this issue. Further research is required to determine the impact of referencing retracted articles on the results of review articles, especially systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized clinical trials (RCTs), regarding the reasons for retraction.

This study considers a wide range of services provided by the largest Russian and foreign to their users. The authors used the quantitative content analysis method. In this study library was considered as source of reliable information in comparison to Internet resources. The authors studied modern services that have become popular with the emergence of digital forms for verifying information. In this way, libraries seek to create an optimal approach to implement cognitive, memorial, and educational functions within their direct activities. Library has a clear opportunity to provide its users with a range of necessary services and it can become one of the key actors in providing reliable information.

Mega journals are growing rapidly, and nowadays, they have become new portals for the publication of scientific outputs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the citations of the scientific outputs of Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Israel in eight mega journals. This applied research, which is a descriptive-analytical study, was conducted by employing a scientometric approach. In this study, eight mega journals were identified and selected based on Bjork's criteria. In each journal, the studies conducted by the researchers of selected countries of the Middle East, and indexed in the Scopus database were searched and extracted from the time the journal was launched as a mega journal to the end of 2019. The total number of studies imported to Excel, SPSS, and VosViewer software for analysis and illustration of the data was 10935. The results showed that approximately 84 percent of the studies performed by the researchers of the selected countries were published in PLOS ONE and Scientific Reports, and the share of the publication for the other six journals accounted for only six percent of the articles. Of the 262696 citations received by these articles, 57.86 percent belonged to the studies published in PLOS ONE. Moreover, PLOS ONE and Scientific Reports were among the most cited sources of the studies carried out in the Middle East. The most active institutes of the Middle East in the eight selected mega journals were Tel Aviv University, King Saud University, Cairo University, and Tehran University of Medical Sciences, respectively. Most of the international collaborations of the selected countries for publication of studies were with the researchers of Medical Sciences of the USA, the UK, and Germany. A considerable share of publications of the selected Middle East countries in the mega journals belonged to PLOS ONE and Scientific Reports. Although the trend of publication in the other journals is also rising, they are not comparable with those two journals. As conducting international studies could increase the rate of citations, it is recommended that researchers increase the impact of their publications via international collaboration.

The present research was conducted to measure the impact of organizational maturity on the main variables of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology among library and information science experts in the public libraries in Mashhad. It is applied research in terms of purpose and correlation-descriptive research in terms of the data collection method. The research statistical population included all library and information science experts in Mashhad city, which were selected as research samples using random sampling. The questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. The average variance extracted (AVE) was used to assess the validity of the questionnaire, and the composite reliability (CR) coefficient and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were used to assess the reliability of the questionnaire. The structural equation modeling method (partial least squares method) was used with Smart PLS software to test the research hypotheses and the research conceptual model. According to the results, it can be stated that the variable of organizational maturity has a significant and positive effect on the components of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, including performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, social influence, purposeful behavior, but this variable does not have a significant and positive effect on the effort expectancy. Organizational maturity affects the acceptance and use of technology by public library librarians.

With the development of the Internet and information technologies, new communication tools have been created that allow researchers to present their research results and communicate with each other. Using visual and audio resources to share research results is a new type of scholarly communication essential for disseminating knowledge and has recently been the focus of journals. Our objective was to help authors, journal editors, and publishers become familiar with the criteria they should consider when producing standard video abstracts. This descriptive study used content analysis. We systematically searched the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus to identify journals with video abstracts and analyzed their authors’ guidelines to extract the criteria needed for producing and evaluating video abstracts. The research community comprised 209 journals with video abstracts. After reviewing their authors' guidelines, we found that only 90 journals mentioned video abstracts in their authors’ guidelines. Of 90 journals, 22 dedicated authors’ guidelines and 68 journals belong to nine different publishers. Therefore, 31 authors’ guidelines were examined in this study using MAXQDA 12. We identified six main categories, six subcategories, and 87 criteria for producing and evaluating video abstracts. The six main categories included the type of video, technical features, provider features, presentation features, legal aspects, and criteria for publishing and sending video abstracts. Most criteria were related to the technical characteristics of video abstracts, and the least number of criteria were related to attention to legal aspects during the production and evaluation of these abstracts. The scientific community now uses video abstracts as a complementary medium to articles. Researchers can use this type of abstract to share their research results with others. Authors and journals should pay attention to the production criteria when planning to use this type of abstract so that by preparing a suitable video abstract, they can more effectively convey the results of their research to the audience and lead to the promotion of science.

Online health information seeking can be related to various factors. Past studies have shown that two factors of uncertainty and cyberchondria can play a role in this regard. In this regard, the present research was designed to investigate online health information seeking with uncertainty and other criteria using a descriptive survey method. It was carried out in the research community of Ahvaz health network clients. The data collection tool was three questionnaires, and the findings were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. The findings showed that in the sample of 260 people under investigation, the mean of online health information seeking in the group of women was higher than that of men, but no significant difference was reported. In examining the average uncertainty and cyberchondria in gender groups, uncertainty was reported higher in women than men (significant difference). However, cyberchondria was not significantly different in the groups of men and women. No significant difference was observed regarding the educational level. Among the research variables, the uncertainty and doubt in facing the information have increased online health information seeking among the visitors to the health centers of Ahvaz City. According to the current research results, planning and training in health information search and making valid health information accessible in various information platforms by the policymakers and managers of the country's health system is necessary and inevitable.

This paper examines the challenges in implementing the Resource Description and Access in bibliographic records and library software. To meet this end, a survey approach was employed, and a questionnaire was used to collect the data. The statistical sample size was determined as 95 librarians from Tehran University, 48 librarians from Allameh Tabataba’i University, and 35 librarians from Tarbiat Modares University. According to the results, the respondents believe that the main problems for implementing RDA in academic libraries in Iran are, in turn: “problems in switching to new library software", "problems of not having enough information and knowledge to implement RDA", "problems in the internal communication of libraries", "data incompatibility", "lack of a trustee to apply the RDA rules", and "problem with library users". Therefore, using a correspondence table and designing a comprehensive manual in library software is needed to guide the librarians and catalogers in implementing RDA.

Scientific productions result from researchers’ thoughts and efforts; when published in credible journals or indexed by valid databases and cited by other researchers, they gain credibility. Publications also gain more credibility when they are indexed in actual and valid citation databases. The publication of scientific products in these databases increases visibility and the possibility and opportunity to increase their citations. The present research aims to investigate the factors effective in citing the articles published in Iranian journals with Impact Factor (IF) indexed in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2020. This applied study was done using scientometric indices. The research population consisted of Iranian publications with IF indexed in the JCR in 2020. Microsoft Excel was employed for data collection, and SPSS software was used for data analysis. The results showed that Iran, with 27,446 citations, acquired about 17% of citing Iranian publications with IF indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). Also, 53.31% of articles had an organizational affiliation (publishers and publishing country) to public universities. The variables “subject area, multiple authorship, number of references, and inter-university cooperation” positively and significantly correlated with the number of citations the Iranian publications with IF indexed in the WOSCC had received (citation rate). Also, the number of keywords, length of article titles, and inter-university scientific collaboration had no significant collaboration with the citation rate.

In recent times, authors of academic publications have depended on web resources. However, there have been some concerns raised on the permanency of e-resources on the web. In this context, this article investigated the availability, missing and recovery of Uniform Resource Locator (URL) citations cited in articles in the African Journal of Library, Archive and Information Science (AJLAIS) published between 2008 and 2017 using Internet Archive. A total of 986 URL citations in 129 research articles published in LIS journals were extracted. The finding showed that URL citations of the journal grew during the years 2008-2017 Finding further revealed that 986 represented 28.88% of the total 3414 references that appeared in the journal in the period under review. Of the total cited web citations 986 web citations 310(31.4%) were not accessible and 676 (68.6%) were accessible. This article adopted a W3C link checker to detect HTTP errors linked with missing URLs. HTTP 500 error messages (‘page not found’) were majorly the irresistible messages that denoted 20 per cent of all HTTP error messages. The highest percentage of missing URLs were associated with commercial domains. The attempt to recover 310 missing URL citations through Internet Archive increased the active web citations from 676 to 918 which accounted for 93.1% of active URL citations. This study further showed a negative correlation between path depth and missing URL citations. The statistical analysis of this research indicated that the number of citations and URL citations are positively correlated.

Literary warrants on 'Digital Citizenship' published since its inception are still countable. The search executed to identify the bibliometric literature on ‘Digital Citizenship’ retrieved a meager outcome. Therefore, the study was pivoted with the data retrieved from the SCOPUS database. By utilizing normalized data and citation analysis to evaluate the influence across the various groupings, it is possible to see an almost linear rise in 2021 on the topic. Statistical and visual modeling software tools (R-Biblioshiny, Bibliometrix) were used in the study. It examines what this means for how bibliometric methodologies are used and disseminated in various situations. The study by the authors addressed bibliometric analysis and categorization of articles as per Ribble and Choi. Moreover, the paper discussed three field Plots (Sources-Keywords-Authors) and the most relevant authors. Furthermore, the study tried to testify to the fitness of Bradford's Law, trending topics on the subject, co-occurrence network by keywords, topic growth over the year, and a thematic map of topics from 1999 to 2022. The results were quite impressive. out of a total of 377 articles on digital citizenship, a scattering of subjects with numerous overlapped concepts like digital literacy, digital competence, higher education, technology, digital divide, cyber-bullying, information literacy, digital citizenship education, privacy, secondary education, adolescents, digital education, empowerment, primary education, university students have been identified.

This study aimed to identify the quality of web pages retrieved by Parsijoo and Parseek Persian search engines and Google to respond to students' course-related queries. This study was conducted using evaluations from a researcher-made checklist. The first population included Persian and Google search engines selected from Persian, Parsijoo, and Parseek search engines. The second population included the keywords of the section for collecting data from the fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade elementary school science textbooks, from which 12 keywords were selected by simple random sampling. The third population included web pages retrieved for each keyword by search engines. From the first ten results retrieved in each keyword search, relevant pages were selected as the sample. The results revealed that the quality of the web pages retrieved by all three search engines, i.e., Parsijoo, Parseek, and Google, was above average. However, there was a significant difference between the engines regarding the number of relevant results. This is the first study investigating the quality of web pages retrieved by search engines to respond to students' course-related queries. The study results can help the designers and developers of Persian search engines improve their performance in retrieving high-quality pages and gaining a proper place among Iranian users.

Academic information systems (AIS) at universities provide convenience to students in online campus administrative activities. Universitas Muhammadiyah Gombong (UNIMUGO) has an academic information system. The realization of quality academic and administrative services is one of the university's efforts in building and developing AIS. This study uses e-ServQual and WebQual 4.0 methods to determine the quality of AIS services. This study aims to determine the impact of AIS quality on user satisfaction by comparing E-Servqual and Webqual 4.0. The respondents' data were analyzed by linear regression. The study's findings indicate which method is best for assessing the service quality of the AIS system, as well as additional recommendations for Universitas Muhammadiyah Gombong to assess the success of the existing AIS system. Questionnaires were distributed to 100 students by Google Forms. Data analysis utilizes multiple linear regressions to determine the level of influence between the independent variables (e-Servqual and WebQual 4.0) and the dependent variable (user satisfaction). The research results from hypotheses H1 and H2 equally state that the quality of the AIS system has a positive and significant effect on user satisfaction. Analyzing the e-ServQual results showed that the AIS system was of medium quality, while the WebQual 4.0 method was of excellent quality. The results of data analysis on the e-ServQual method showed that the independent variable could affect user satisfaction by 66.1% and 33.9% influenced by other variables. The WebQual 4.0 method showed that the independent variable could affect user satisfaction by 85.1% and 14.9% influenced by other variables.

patents are a significant competitive strategy to categorize commercial value based on the source information of technology; researchers use patent analysis as a practical tool to infer various types of information. This shows how important it is to retrieve and access them. Clustering is a method used in different fields to group similar natures. Citations are commonly used to cluster documents, and two methods are widely used for this purpose. The first method uses bibliographic coupling, and the second method identifies the words in the citation titles, also called co-citation. However, it is necessary to investigate which methods provide better patent clustering and retrieval results. This study examines citation contents instead of citations in building relevant groups of patents. Experimental research was done on a set of US patents. The analysis is divided into three phases. The first is appropriate databases to conduct patent searches according to the subject and objective of this study. The basic inventions and the experimental set were selected. Phase II, for developing a patent clustering system based on patent similarities and assisting the relationships among categories, we used fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering because it can handle overlapping clusters similar to k-means. As fuzzy clustering is a kind of overlapping clustering, extended B Cubed precision and recall - measures for evaluating overlapping clustering - were used. Since patents can belong to multiple technology domains, in phase III, a Perl program was written to manage the matching process. The study involved creating two patent clusters using bibliographic coupling and citation title words, respectively. The results indicated that the bibliographic coupling method produced better clustering performance than the citation title words. Moreover, the cluster structure was more extensive in terms of exhaustivity than the citation title words. It's interesting to note that the use of cited patent title words resulted in a reduction of nearly 40% of the number of attributes. Additionally, when compared to the use of bibliographic coupling, the cited title words method had a nearly equal recall of clustering by cited patents in high exhaustivity. As a result, it appears that using cited title words may be preferable when the high exhaustivity approach is selected for patent clustering and retrieval.

In this study, we aimed to comprehensively analyze the altmetric indices of 1000 highly cited articles in the field of cancer, considering the growing importance of social media-based indicators as complementary tools alongside traditional bibliometric indicators for evaluating scientific outputs. Cancer research is a critical area in the medical community, being the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Conducted as a cross-sectional descriptive study, the bibliographic information of the research sample was obtained from the Scopus citation database. Data about the social media presence and altmetric attention scores (AAS) of each article were collected from the journal and altmetric.com. Subsequently, Excel and SPSS software were employed for analysis. Among the reviewed articles, 96.3% were shared on social media at least once, with Mendeley (99.6%), Patents (86.3%), and CiteULike (66.3%) being the most commonly used altmetric sources. The article titled "Dermatologist-level classification of skin cancer with deep neural networks," published in the Nature journal, obtained the highest AAS of 2864. Additionally, the majority of tweeters and readers were from the USA. Tweeters were predominantly members of the public, while readers were primarily professionals in medicine and dentistry, including PhD students. Spearman tests indicated a statistically significant moderate correlation between AASs and citations (r= 0.283, p-value< 0.001). Similarly, a significant weak correlation was observed between the journals' Impact Factor (IF) (r= 0.217) and CiteScore (r= 0.133) with the number of citations (p-value < 0.001). The findings of this study emphasize the positive impact of social media-based indicators on the number of citations received by scientific articles, making them valuable complementary measures alongside traditional citation indicators for evaluating research impact. We recommend that journals, authors, and researchers actively use social media platforms to enhance the visibility of their work and attract more citations.

A high volume of information can be provided to users regarding library services by branding Iranian medical libraries and information centers, and the position of libraries can be significantly improved. There is a minimal number of studies in this field in Iran. This study mainly aims to identify key branding components and create differentiation in the context of Iranian medical libraries and information centers (IMLICs). This study was conducted in two steps: (i) the literature on branding in libraries and information centers in reliable databases such as Scopus, Science Direct, Emerald, and Google Scholar was first reviewed, and finally, 33 studies were identified. Four components, such as librarians, services, building, and equipment, as well as technology, were found as important factors in the branding of public and academic libraries. (ii) A semi-structured interview was conducted with 14 managers and heads of libraries of Iranian medical sciences universities. The results showed the most important branding components in ILMIC as librarians, services, buildings and equipment, and technology. According to the results librarians' performance and personality characteristics, dynamization of specialized and general services, paying attention to the architecture of the library building and the installation and use of the equipment, and finally, the intelligent use of technologies and a strategic look at these components will lead to the formation of a positive mental image of Iranian medical libraries in the public mind, increase awareness of their services, and as a result, users' trust, loyalty, and satisfaction. Librarians play an important role in raising the users' awareness, trust, and loyalty toward library services and their branding. Hiring librarians with positive internal and external characteristics can have a positive image of libraries in the users' minds. Providing high-quality services required by users is essential in differentiating and branding libraries and building users' trust and loyalty. Providing virtual services in libraries is essential in promoting branding goals. A unique look at the libraries' architecture helps to create a positive image of libraries and information centers. Well-designing the interior and exterior of library facilities will create a positive mental image among users. Applying the technological equipment alongside the expert staff creates a brand and raises the users' awareness, trust, and loyalty. Empowering librarians in using emerging technologies is an obligation in this era. IMLICs have branding capabilities in the four main components of the library regarding librarians, services, building and equipment, and technology. Development of human resources, services, building and equipment, and technology should be planned so that its output is users' awareness about the library brand and the creation of a positive mental image towards the library function. It keeps the users' trust and loyalty towards the library and finally makes users the ambassadors and missionaries to promote the library via word-of-mouth marketing following their satisfaction.

The present study was conducted to draw the co-authorship network of hot papers of science citation index in the Web of Science (WOS) database from 2020 to 2021. This investigation is a descriptive study using a scientometrics approach. This research was conducted using social network analysis indices to visualize the co-authorship networks of hot papers in the science citation index. The structure of the co-authorship network of researchers of hot papers in the field of science consists of 47,045 authors who have contributed to the publication of 3475 hot papers from 2020 to 2021, which indicates the high co-authorship of these authors. Moreover, it was found that among the co-authorship patterns of these researchers, the most significant number of articles during the studied years was related to the five-author collaborations. Moreover, the average Collaboration Coefficient (CC) of the authors of hot papers was higher than 0.80, indicating the authors' strong tendency to produce joint articles. The high collaboration of the authors of hot papers in the science citation index can be one of the reasons for increasing the level of visibility and the potential for using them.

Measuring the maturity of KM allows the organization to know how to manage its knowledge and provides an infrastructure on which the organization's KM roadmap is created. With libraries and information centers with educational and research environments, the Iran Public Libraries Foundation is one of the most susceptible organizations to establish KM. Requires measuring the maturity of KM to provide necessary grounds for reaching a higher level of maturity in knowledge management development. This study aimed to measure the maturity of KM in the Iran Public Libraries Foundation based on the Asian Productivity Organization framework. The study is an applied survey research. The data was collected using the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) standard questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.9, according to Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The research population consisted of 115 people who were selected by cluster sampling. Excel and SPSS were used to analyze the data. Pearson correlation test, One-sample T-test, and Kolmogorov–Smirnov test were used to measure the mean of the seven knowledge management (KM) maturity criteria, and the Friedman nonparametric test was used to rank the criteria groups. The maturity level of KM in Iran, Public Libraries Foundation, was seven groups below the KM Framework of APO. The readiness of the library for KM was determined the initial stage. The results of ranking the seven groups of KM maturity criteria showed that information technology and leadership stood in the highest and the lowest ranks, respectively. Topdown ranking of other criteria was as follows: knowledge processes, process, learning and innovation, KM results, and staff. Finally, the research proposals were presented based on the results of the studied organization's current situation.

Communicating science to the public is one of the important issues in societies. Given the importance of news websites in communicating science, this article aimed to examine different aspects of science-related news stories like subjects, internationality, formats, and readers’ comments rate, published on the Iranian national news websites. Contents of 1711 science-related news of the top three ranked influential Iranian news websites, including ISNA, Mehr News, and Fars News, in one month in 2019, using the Dewey decimal classification (DDC) schema and inductive coding system, were analyzed. The results revealed that science and technology-related news stories published in the sample news websites have a bias toward international technology as the main subject class, and astronomy and medicine subclasses in the textual format. Like other developing countries, science reporting in Iran needs to be more professional, and there is a need for professional training programs for science journalists for better coverage of science-related news stories.

The present study sought to identify the supportive roles of social media in healthcare knowledge management processes, including decision-making, popularizing health knowledge, and empowerment of healthcare processes based on physicians' perspectives and experiences. In a present qualitative study, a semi-structured interview was administered to 28 physicians using purposive snowball sampling. The data analysis was done using the thematic analysis method by MAXQDA 10. The analysis of interviews resulted in the extraction of three themes and eight sub-themes. Firstly, social media supports physicians' decision-making by facilitating peer-to-peer assistance, increasing benchmarking, and virtualizing the community of practices. Secondly, physician activities in social media can popularize health knowledge by developing public health education and disclosing knowledge claims. Third, social media empower healthcare processes by improving post-treatment follow-up, supporting health counseling presentations, and promoting health awareness. Physicians’ experiences and perspectives showed that social media can support healthcare knowledge management implementation.

This descriptive survey research design aimed to explore gender differences in the impact of social media distractions during reading in the library among undergraduate students. The study included a total of 373 participants who were regular library users and had access to social media platforms. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data, and the findings indicated that social media, particularly messaging on WhatsApp, was the most distracting activity for students in the library. Males reported more distraction than females for platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Telegram. Reading and responding to social media messages was the most common social media activity among students in the library. The majority of participants perceived social media to harm their reading habits, with a higher number of females perceiving social media as harming their reading habits compared to males. The study recommends that libraries and educational institutions develop clear policies and guidelines on the use of social media in libraries, provide resources aimed at helping students manage social media distraction and improve their reading habits, and offer training to staff members on how to identify and address social media distractions among students.

The online public access catalog (OPAC) is a digital portal to the library's collection that allows users to search, locate, and access a wide range of academic resources. One of its key functions is to make books and other library materials easily accessible and retrievable. The main purpose of this study was to assess students’ awareness and use of the OPAC in the Central Luzon State University Library. The data were gathered using a survey questionnaire. The frequency, percentage, and weighted mean were analyzed, and the data was interpreted. The findings show that students widely use OPAC, though not all of them are aware of all of the functions that OPAC provides. Findings also indicate that a lack of proper orientation and a lack of OPAC terminals are the main reasons for not using the OPAC. The vast majority of students were satisfied with the OPAC. However, a small percentage of students remain dissatisfied with it. This insight is essential for libraries to better alter and tailor their systems, services, and instructional programs to suit their student population's evolving needs and technological expectations.

La química de los perfumes y esencias es un campo de la química de gran relevancia económica. Su origen data de la antigüedad cuando se utilizaban resinas y aceites esenciales en prácticas religiosas. Aunque en sus inicios su uso estaba restringido a la realeza y los sacerdotes, con el correr del tiempo, el uso de perfumes y fragancias se fue popularizando. En la actualidad es una actividad de gran relevancia económica derivada del uso de compuestos químicos no solo en la elaboración de perfumes sino también de productos de consumo masivo como jabones, detergentes y champú. Con la finalidad de despertar el interés de los lectores, especialmente jóvenes con inclinación hacia las ciencias químicas, en este artículo se presenta una visión general de la química relacionada con las materias primas tanto de origen natural como sintético usadas en la elaboración de perfumes y fragancias, abordándose de manera general su origen y estructura química, así como algunas aplicaciones.

Las fermentaciones frecuentemente requieren la adición de nutrientes o inóculos, así como el control de ciertos parámetros. Esto aumenta los costos operativos y dificulta su implementación, especialmente en lugares donde no hay interés en tratar residuos orgánicos. El objetivo fue realizar una fermentación sumergida sin la adición de inóculo y utilizando solo residuos de frutas y verduras para evaluar la cantidad de ácidos orgánicos y actividades enzimáticas como alternativa para obtener productos de alto valor agregado. Para ello, desechos de naranja, plátano, manzana, zanahoria, papaya y piña se utilizaron y colocaron en un recipiente de plástico de 6 L con 4 L de agua destilada y 400 g de piloncillo. La fermentación se monitoreó durante 49 días analizando una muestra de 30 mL cada 7 días. Ácidos órgánicos se cuantificaron por cromatografía de líquidos, mientras que azúcares reductores y totales, proteínas y actividades enzimáticas se determinaron por espectrofotometría. La concentración de ácido láctico (16.53 g/L) fue similar a la obtenida con microorganismos especializados. La mayor actividad de pectinasa (55 U/L) se registró al día 28. Los resultados demuestran que se pueden obtener productos de alto potencial biológico mediante fermentaciones sumergidas. https://doi.org/10.54167/tch.v18i2.1573

O artigo tem como objetivo apreender a partir do comportamento de citação expresso na produção científica dos docentes-pesquisadores do campo da Cancerologia brasileira suas escolhas acerca do Qualis/Capes e do fator de impacto do periódico. É oportuno esclarecer que a expressão “escolhas mais ou menos conscientes”, refere-se neste artigo a primazia elaboradas pelos docentes-pesquisadores acerca das razões/fatores que orientam a prática de citação a partir do Qualis/Capes e do Fator de Impacto do periódico. Embora as preferências constituam-se de ordem subjetiva, evidencia-se convergências com o modus operandi com o campo científico ao qual o pesquisador mantém vínculo. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como descritiva e esta etapa qualitativa da pesquisa, foi realizada com 15 docentes-pesquisadores de seis programas de pós-graduação no campo da Cancerologia brasileira – FAP; HCB; INCA; UFPA; USP e USP/RP. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, recorreu-se à entrevista estruturada. A partir dos resultados, agrupou-se as razões/fatores que influenciam o comportamento de citação dos docentes-pesquisadores do campo da Cancerologia brasileira em dois grandes grupos - o primeiro, conceitual-argumentativo, associado à obrigação que o pesquisador precisa para dar credibilidade às suas produções científicas a partir das citações de pesquisas anteriores. O segundo grupo, de ordem sociopolítica, relacionado ao modus operandi do campo científico do pesquisador, ou seja, o pesquisador citante criar alinhamento entre sua produção e a de pesquisador que se encontra em posição consagrada no campo, para fortalecer suas produções e assim, alcançar visibilidade acadêmica.

A campanha de vacinação contra a Covid-19 no Brasil aconteceu em meio à politização da pandemia e a controvérsias na aquisição e aplicação dos imunizantes. Uma dessas principais controvérsias diz respeito à vacinação infantil contra o SARS-CoV-2. Neste contexto, analisamos os perfis organizadores das postagens, as temáticas, os posicionamentos e os argumentos sobre vacinação infantil mobilizados no Facebook e Instagram no Brasil no período de 2020 a 2022. Utilizando descritores associados à imunização infantil, identificamos 1.985 posts que abordaram o assunto nessas duas mídias sociais. A partir da análise, observamos a predominância de posicionamentos favoráveis e neutros na abordagem do assunto, que foi pautado sobretudo por veículos de mídia e perfis relacionados ao poder público e tematizado a partir da discussão sobre a campanha da vacinação infantil e da politização da vacina. Identificamos também que o assunto despertou a produção de argumentos em torno da segurança e eficácia dos imunizantes, da necessidade de proteger as crianças, da liberdade de decisão das famílias e da interferência de questões políticas no processo de vacinação infantil.

A visibilidade e o acesso equitativo aos recursos científicos são pilares essenciais para o avanço da pesquisa global, no entanto, a realidade atual revela disparidades preocupantes. A forma como medimos a circulação da ciência do Mundo Majoritário tem mostrado assimetrias nos canais de disseminação científica dominados pelos oligopólios editoriais científicos. Enquanto isso, a crescente plataformização da ciência intensifica a dependência de canais digitais, excluindo ainda mais aqueles que carecem de acesso à tecnologia ou à infraestrutura digital adequada. A ausência de acesso às APIs para compreender a circulação da ciência do Sul Global no ambiente digital adiciona uma camada adicional de opacidade, dificultando a análise e a promoção da diversidade científica. Nesse contexto, a questão da soberania epistêmica e digital emergem como aspecto fundamental para pensar novas formas de métricas alternativas que não apenas denuncie, mas também ressalte características importantes que mostram a diversidade epistêmica da pesquisa do Sul Global. Este ensaio tem como objetivo debater este panorama desafiador sobre assimetrias globais informacionais que apontem caminhos para superar essas barreiras estruturais e promover uma ciência verdadeiramente inclusiva, colaborativa e soberana.

Conceitos e fenômenos subjetivos, tais como processos de julgamentos, opiniões, atitudes sociais e valorização de obras literárias, têm sido difíceis de serem mensurados acuradamente. Muitos deles, em crítica literária, sendo de natureza subjetiva, enfrentam problemas para obter medidas precisas em avaliações governamentais de aquisição de obras literárias para instituições escolares, de júri de concursos literários nacionais e internacionais e de editoras na seleção de obras a integrarem a renovação de seu catálogo. Utilizando-se os métodos psicofísicos de estimação de magnitude e de emparelhamento intermodal, desenvolvidos na psicofísica sensorial, e sendo atualmente usados nas ciências sociais, que tem se mostrado promissores como instrumentos para escalonar fenômenos subjetivos, este trabalho aborda sua aplicação no estudo de obras selecionadas e não selecionadas de literatura, para verificar se, aplicados os mesmos, sem prejuízo para os critérios tradicionais, estas duas técnicas psicofísicas podem ser consideradas um modelo complementar às categorias tradicionais de valorização de obras literárias, que permita raciocinar as ferramentas de criação do autor em circunstâncias que necessitem ir além de apreciações e julgamentos de valor intuitivo. Os resultados alcançados pelos métodos psicofísicos mostraram equivalência com os resultados alcançados pelos critérios tradicionais de análise literária. Concluiu-se que a estimação de magnitude e de emparelhamento intermodal são formas práticas e rápidas para seleção de originais em contextos que exigem otimização de tempo para seleção de obras, sem perda de qualidade.

As métricas estão presentes no cotidiano de pesquisadoras/es de variadas formas, alavancando processos de comparação e competição que são acentuados pelo fenômeno da plataformização. Nesse trabalho, realizamos um estudo de caso da plataforma Academia.edu visando discutir a construção da visibilidade e da persona online de pesquisadoras/es a partir das dinâmicas de publicação, metrificação e circulação da produção científica nessa rede social acadêmica. Propomos encarar esse complexo de dados acadêmicos como “assembleias métricas” (Burrows 2012) e assim ressaltar como diversas tecnologias de medição convergem para avaliar desempenhos e orientar comportamentos profissionais. Além de um esforço revisional teórico sobre o tema, realizamos um estudo qualitativo a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com pesquisadoras/es brasileiros que utilizam a plataforma. Essas conversas guiam um debate sobre as práticas associadas à Academia.edu e os regimes de visibilidade impulsionados por essa plataforma comercial.

Television broadcasts around the world employ specific hashtags to facilitate viewer engagement via social media with program hosts. In the context of news broadcasts, individuals' comments mix with the articles shown on television news, mainly in relation to urban situations. These social media posts constitute a significant database, as users assume roles similar to those of citizens. The aim of this paper is to scrutinize the posts associated with the hashtags #VcNoJL1 and #VcNoJL2, publishe on the Twitter (X) platform, in the context of the TV news program TV Liberal, broadcast in the State of Pará (Brazil), using the CRISP-DM methodology and data science techniques. Using a statistical examination of these publications, a discreet level of engagement was observed among viewers, who are also users of the aforementioned social media platform. Furthermore, a sentiment assessment of the posts was carried out, revealing that 54% of the comments are negative, 31% are positive and 15% are neutral. The negative comments notably highlight the challenges within municipal public administration, while the positive comments are around commemorative occasions such as Mother's Day and Grandparents' Day. This type of analysis constitutes an important monitoring tool not only for the television program, but also for public administration.

O estudo investiga a presença das mulheres no depósito de patentes prioritárias brasileiras em Inteligência Artificial. Se configura em um estudo patentométrico, com coleta de dados na base de dados do Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial. Objetiva caracterizar as patentes quanto à data, área de classificação, depositantes e inventores, observando também a colaboração e a temática das patentes. Os dados apontam que os primeiros depósitos iniciaram em 2002, com a maior parte das patentes depositadas a partir de 2016. A patentes são, em sua maioria, classificadas na área da Física. Os maiores depositantes são as Instituições de Ensino Superior, seguidas pelas empresas privadas, pessoas físicas e empresas públicas. Há pequena participação de mulheres depositantes e inventoras. Observou-se grande colaboração entre os inventores, porém, há fraca colaboração nas patentes inventadas exclusivamente por mulheres. A temática das patentes apresenta relevância, aplicando a Inteligência Artificial principalmente nas áreas da saúde, da agricultura e dos transportes.
