Purpose This study aims to establish an idea on visibility and growth of research publications of select Library and Information Science (LIS) open access journals indexed in Scopus database during the period 2001-2015. Design/methodology/approach The study covers its scope to the research publications published during the period 2001-2015. All retrieved data were analyzed using bibliometric methods. The data of the select journals were searched in Scopus database using the name of the journal as search term in source of the database. Findings The results of the study reveal that visibility of LIS research articles in country based, university/ institution based, types of document based, authors based and citation based is significant. Authors from 83 countries and 990 universities/ institutions across the world have published their research in such LIS open access journals. The American and European countries are the leaders among all contributing countries and “Article” is the most popular types of documents with 61.37 per cent publications. The citation impact of publications shows an average 8.08 citations per publication. Originality/value The study raises concern on the global visibility of LIS research publications. Authors from underdeveloped countries do not prefer to publish their publications in open channel. Also government and other research bodies of these countries do not give proper weightage to the publications in open access journals. So, the study intends to assess the visibility of LIS research publications and their growth pattern.

Based on the total scholarly article output of Norway, we investigated the coverage and degree of openness according to the following three bibliographic services: (1) Google Scholar, (2) oaDOI by Impact Story, and (3) 1findr by 1science. According to Google Scholar, we found that more than 70% of all Norwegian articles are openly available. However, the degrees of openness are profoundly lower according to oaDOI and 1findr at 31% and 52%, respectively. Varying degrees of openness are mainly caused by different interpretations of openness, with oaDOI being the most restrictive. Furthermore, open shares vary considerably by discipline, with the medicine and health sciences at the upper end and the humanities at the lower end. We also determined the citation frequencies using cited-by values in Google Scholar and applying year and subject normalization. We found a significant citation advantage for open articles. However, this was not the case for all types of openness. In fact, the category of open access journals was by far the lowest cited, indicating that young journals with a declared open access policy still lack recognition.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi tingginya prevalansi pruritus pada pasien GGK yang menjalani hemodialisa. Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gambaran karakteristik pruritus uremik pada pasien GGK yang menjalani hemodialisa berdasarkan telaah literatur review. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah literature review dengan mengumpulkan beberapa artikel jurnal yang populasinya terdiri dari 169 artikel yang terdiri dari jurnal nasional dan internasional yang berkaitan dengan karakteristik pruritus pada pasien GGK yang menjalani hemodialisa. Sedangkan sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 14 Jurnal yang terdiri dari 3 jurnal nasional dan 11 jurnal internasional. Teknik pengumpulan sampel pada penelitian yaitu dengan cara mengakses jurnal dari internet dengan search engine Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) dan PubMed. Teknik analisis data yaitu menggunakan Introduction, Methods, Result, Discussion (IMRD). Hasil penelitian melalui telaah literature menunjukan bahwa pruritus lebih sering pada usia di atas 55 tahun; lebih sering muncul pada jenis kelamin laki-laki; rata-rata pasien yang menderita pruritus yakni pendidikan menengah dan sering dirasakan pada pasien yang tidak bekerja dibandingkan dengan yang bekerja; skala pruritus rata-rata dirasakan pada skala sedang; pruritus sering muncul pada malam hari; rata-rata durasi pruritus terjadi kurang dari 6 jam perhari; area tubuh yang sering terkena pruritus yaitu dada, punggung dan bokong. Tetapi hal tersebut tidak menutup kemungkinan juga dapat muncul di seluruh tubuh serta berdampak mempengaruhi kualitas hidup terutama kualitas tidur. Saran bagi penelitian selanjutnya diharapkan dapat menjadi referensi untuk dilakukannya penelitian selanjutnya mengenai karakteristik pruritus pada pasien GGK yang menjalani hemodialisa khususnya pengaruh lama hemodialisa terhadap munculnya pruritus.

Desde o seu nascimento, a RBC prima pela divulgação do conhecimento pericial tecnicamente validado e pela discussão de novos métodos e de casos. É o caminho que há de ser constantemente trilhado pelos profissionais da perícia para que não eivem seus laudos periciais e pareceres técnicos de vícios insanáveis cujas consequências seriam nefastas para a justiça. Não é à toa que o Corpo Editorial da RBC, com o imprescindível auxílio dos editores de sessão e dos avaliadores, não envida esforços na contínua evolução da revista em direção à qualidade. Prova disso é a permanente busca por indexação em vários meios e pela elevação dos índices de qualidade por qualificação externa. A RBC aparece no Latindex, no CrossRef, no Google Scholar, no Research Gate, no Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), no Electronic Journal Library (EZ3), no Scilit, no Diadorim, na ABEC Brasil, na Universitäts Bibliothek UBL Leipzig e na Qualis/CAPES.
