Highly Cited

This study explores the extent to which bibliometric indicators based on counts of highly-cited documents could be affected by the choice of data source. The initial hypothesis is that databases that rely on journal selection criteria for their document coverage may not necessarily provide an accurate representation of highly-cited documents across all subject areas, while inclusive databases, which give each document the chance to stand on its own merits, might be better suited to identify highly-cited documents. To test this hypothesis, an analysis of 2,515 highly-cited documents published in 2006 that Google Scholar displays in its Classic Papers product is carried out at the level of broad subject categories, checking whether these documents are also covered in Web of Science and Scopus, and whether the citation counts offered by the different sources are similar. The results show that a large fraction of highly-cited documents in the Social Sciences and Humanities (8.6%-28.2%) are invisible to Web of Science and Scopus. In the Natural, Life, and Health Sciences the proportion of missing highly-cited documents in Web of Science and Scopus is much lower. Furthermore, in all areas, Spearman correlation coefficients of citation counts in Google Scholar, as compared to Web of Science and Scopus citation counts, are remarkably strong (.83-.99). The main conclusion is that the data about highly-cited documents available in the inclusive database Google Scholar does indeed reveal significant coverage deficiencies in Web of Science and Scopus in some areas of research. Therefore, using these selective databases to compute bibliometric indicators based on counts of highly-cited documents might produce biased assessments in poorly covered areas.

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) pollution has garnered significant interest as a serious environmental problem. To date, a large amount of research has been published on this topic. We analyzed the related studies to assess the global developments of MPs regarding the evolution, research trends, and hotspots by bibliometric. A total of 2,872 bibliographic records were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, and CiteSpace 5.4 was used for bibliometrics. The results visually displayed the contributing countries, institutions, authors, keywords, and potential research directions in the MPs fields. The scientific developments in this field began in 2004 and have accelerated considerably since 2012. China and the USA are the leading countries in MPs research. The research on MPs is multidisciplinary and involves Ecology, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Environmental Science, and Oceanography. Among these, Oceanography was the most connected with MPs and was the most well-developed. Overall, we mapped the development of MPs research and attempted a comprehensive discussion and understanding of scientific advances, as well as the progress made.

Este trabalho foi escrito devido a importância de apresentar maior conhecimento as pessoas, não somente da área da saúde, da importância do cuidado com os alimentos para evitar o aumento do número de ocorrência de casos de toxinfecção alimentar, principalmente  pela Salmonella spp. Dentro da contaminação do alimento pode-se ter a infecção, intoxicação e a toxinfecção alimentar, nos três tipos há diversos fatores que facilitam a ocorrência desses casos, que vão desde a precariedade no saneamento básico até a falta de cuidado e fiscalização dos alimentos, Diferenciando intoxicação, de infecção e de toxinfecção alimentar, mostrar os alimentos, microrganismos e os sintomas mais frequentes, quais os meios de contaminação, o papel da vigilância sanitária, as buscas foram realizadas em duas bases de dados bibliográficos, sendo estes SciELO (Scientific Eletronic Libray Online) e Google Acadêmico,foram selecionados artigos do período de 1996 a 2018. FOOD POISONING A PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMAbstractThis work was published because of the importance of the people with the highest number of cases reporting food poisoning cases, especially Salmonella spp. Contamination of food can be an interference, poisoning and food poisoning, several, several factors that facilitate the absence of cases, ranging from a precariousness in basic sanitation to a lack of care and inspection of food, differentiation intoxication, of infection and food toxinfection, such as food, microorganisms and the most frequent symptoms, such as means of contamination, the role of sanitary surveillance, as the searches were exposed in two bibliographic databases, these being SciELO and Google Scholar, were included in the period from 1996 to 2018.

This paper presents a case report on detecting hijacked journals. Towards identification of a fake journal website and preventing a hijacked paper, we use different tools including Google Scholar - as an altmetric tool, Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus, both as scientometric databases, to distinguish fake website from a legal (printed) journal. Our evaluation shows that analysis of a doubtful website should be done not just using Google Scholar. In fact, use of scientometric tools for tracking prior publications of the journal is compulsory. Main result of this case study is that in some uncommon cases, fake websites may convince scientometric databases in order to be fully/partially indexed along with an abstracting of their hijacked papers. Therefore as a results, we should check both WoS and Scopus for verifying a fake website.

Objetivo: mapear as evidências disponíveis sobre avaliação da cultura de segurança do paciente na perspectiva da equipe multidisciplinar em serviços de hemodiálise. Método: revisão de escopo da literatura desenvolvida de acordo com a metodologia proposta pelo manual do Instituto Joanna Briggs, nas fontes de informação: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, MEDLINE via PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase e Google Scholar. Serão considerados elegíveis estudos que atendam à pergunta de pesquisa, disponíveis na íntegra e publicados nos idiomas inglês, espanhol e português. A seleção dos estudos ocorrerá de forma independente por dois revisores e as divergências serão discutidas com um terceiro revisor. A síntese e extração dos dados será executada por meio de uma planilha construída no programa Microsoft Office Excel Online. Os resultados finais sintetizados serão compilados e apresentados por meio de tabelas ou quadros, fluxograma e discussão narrativa. Número de registro da revisão: https://osf.io/7ug86.

Analizar la visibilidad de los investigadores del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI) en Web of Science (WoS), Scopus y Publish or Perish, mediante la búsqueda del índice h de 240 investigadores nacionales del área V de las ciencias sociales en México en Publish or Perish, Google Scholar Metrics, Web of Science y Scopus. Se encontró que los resultados muestran una gran polarización entre las 4 fuentes consultadas para obtener el índice h. La primera, Publish or Perish es la más incluyente en términos de citación, ya que se basa en las publicaciones que aparecen en el Google Académico y esto favorece enormemente los valores que obtuvieron los investigadores de las ciencias sociales mexicanas en el índice h. La segunda y tercera que son WoS y Scopus se caracterizan por una ausencia generalizada en la indización de revistas mexicanas de las ciencias sociales utilizadas por los investigadores para diseminar sus publicaciones. La cuarta, Google Scholar Metrics es una herramienta abierta y gratuita que al parecer no es usada por los investigadores de las ciencias sociales mexicanas.
