Currently, all information regarding rice research in Malaysia are scattered over many different publications, depositories and databases using various digital and analogue formats. Although several international databases of rice research are available, they are not linked to geolocation and other basic archival information. We present MyRice; a systematic Malaysian online rice knowledge database for researchers and citizen scientists to curate their data. The creation of this database will enable   scientific researchers to trace back rice research information and their locality effectively. It is constructed using a digitization pipeline that allow high throughput digitization of archival data and connected with publication search engine such as Google Scholar. The main functions include bibliography, map locational visualization and media uploader to share videos and images. We believe that MyRice will contribute to the digital knowledge ecosystem among rice researchers to elevate access and become a focal point for driving Malaysian rice research towards a sulf-sufficient country on food security. The database is available http://biodiversity.fbb.utm.my/myrice/.

Ancient parchments record an immense part of our cultural heritage, having been used as the main written support material for centuries. Parchment easily undergoes biodeterioration, whose main signs are the so-called purple spots, which often lead to detachment of the superficial written layer. Up to recent years, several studies have been analyzing damaged parchments from different world’s archives, trying to trace back the culprit of the purple spots. However, standard cultivation and early molecular techniques have been demonstrated to be unsuccessful, leading the parchment damage issue remaining unsolved for many years. Nowadays, some studies have explored the parchment biodeterioration dynamics by adopting a multidisciplinary approach combining standard microbiological methods with high-throughput molecular, chemical and physical techniques. This approach allowed an unprecedented level of knowledge on the complex dynamics of parchment biodeterioration. This mini review discusses the application of the combination of basic and high-throughput techniques to study historical parchments, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of this approach. In particular, it focuses on how metagenomics has been paramount for the unequivocal identification of the microbial main actors of parchment biodeterioration and their dynamics, but also on how metagenomics may suffer the distortion inflict by the historical perspective on the analysis of ancient specimens. As a whole, this mini review aims to describe the scenario of information on parchment biodeterioration obtained so far by using the integration of metagenomic with recent chemical (Raman spectroscopy) and physical (Light Transmission Analysis) approaches, which might have key implications in the preservation of many ancient documents.

PurposeThis study aimed to examine the impact of ICT and digital knowledge on students’ thoughts and beliefs. Using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in learning and teaching processes can improve the interpretation of knowledge, not only in the learning process but also for thoughts and beliefs. Beliefs and thoughts as propositional content are understood to be a subjective manner of knowing and becoming a focal point of education process. In addition, ICT plays a vital role in enhancing the efficiency of the teaching process which can change the thoughts of learners. So, in this paper, the usage of ICT in education was considered as a key factor for improving students’ thoughts and beliefs. In addition, a conceptual model was proposed to evaluate this impact.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 384 students from secondary schools in Iran. For assessing the elements of the model, a complete questionnaire was designed. For statistical analysis of questionnaires, SPSS 22 and SMART-PLS 3.2 software package was used.FindingsThe obtained results showed the high strength of the proposed model. The outcomes indicated that digital technology acceptance positively affects students’ thoughts and beliefs. In addition, the findings showed that the role of digital knowledge, digital training facilities and digital education content on students’ thoughts and beliefs was significant.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors deal with one experiment and so the results cannot be generalized. The trail should be repeated with many groups and in diverse contexts.Originality/valueDespite the importance of the investigating the impact of ICT and digital knowledge on the students’ thoughts and beliefs, the relationship among these factors was not examined well in previous research. Thus, the investigation of the impact of ICT and digital knowledge on the students’ thoughts and beliefs is the main originality of this research. For this goal, a new conceptual model is proposed, which has 11 sub-indicators within four variables: digital technology acceptance, digital knowledge, digital training facilities and digital education content.

Search engine optimization (SEO) constitutes the set of methods designed to increase the visibility of, and the number of visits to, a web page by means of its ranking on the search engine results pages. Recently, SEO has also been applied to academic databases and search engines, in a trend that is in constant growth. This new approach, known as academic SEO (ASEO), has generated a field of study with considerable future growth potential due to the impact of open science. The study reported here forms part of this new field of analysis. The ranking of results is a key aspect in any information system since it determines the way in which these results are presented to the user. The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the relevance ranking algorithms employed by various academic platforms to identify the importance of citations received in their algorithms. Specifically, we analyze two search engines and two bibliographic databases: Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic, on the one hand, and Web of Science and Scopus, on the other. A reverse engineering methodology is employed based on the statistical analysis of Spearman’s correlation coefficients. The results indicate that the ranking algorithms used by Google Scholar and Microsoft are the two that are most heavily influenced by citations received. Indeed, citation counts are clearly the main SEO factor in these academic search engines. An unexpected finding is that, at certain points in time, Web of Science (WoS) used citations received as a key ranking factor, despite the fact that WoS support documents claim this factor does not intervene.

Currently, all the information regarding ethnobotanical, phytochemical and pharmaceutical information of South East Asia are scattered over many different publications, depositories and databases using various digital and analogue formats. Although there are taxonomic databases of medicinal plants, they are not linked to phytochemical and pharmaceutical information which are often resides in scientific literature. We present Phyknome; an ethnobotanical and phytochemical database with more than 22,000 species of ethnoflora of Asia. The creation of this database will enable a biotechnology researcher to seek and identify ethnobotanical information based on a species’ scientific name, description and phytochemical information. It is constructed using a digitization pipeline that allow high throughput digitization of archival data, an automated dataminer to mine for pharmaceutical compounds information and an online database to integrated these information. The main functions include an automated taxonomy, bibliography and API interface with primary databases such as Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). We believe that Phyknome will contribute to the digital knowledge ecosystem to elevate access and provide tools for ethnobotanical research and contributes to the management, assessment and stewardship of biodiversity. The database is available at http://mapping.fbb.utm.my/phyknome/.

ABSTRAK Beberapa penelitian sebelumnya menyatakan bahwa faktor risiko individu dan fisik mempengaruhi gangguan otot rangka akibat kerja (gotrak), namun hanya sedikit penelitian yang berfokus pada faktor risiko psikososial. Penelitian ini merupakan studi literatur yang bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor risiko psikososial terhadap terjadinya gotrak pada pekerja. Pencarian literatur dalam penelitian ini mengumpulkan data sekunder yang berasal dari artikel pada jurnal nasional dan internasional yang telah diterbitkan antara tahun 2018 hingga 2020 yang diperoleh dari search engine “google scholar”. Hasil yang didapatkan sebanyak 1779 artikel pada jurnal nasional dan internasional kemudian disaring berdasarkan kesesuaian judul, abstrak, isi dan kriteria inklusi sehingga diperoleh sebanyak enam belas artikel (satu artikel pada jurnal nasional dan lima belas artikel pada jurnal internasional). Sebanyak enam belas artikel tersebut dianalisis dan diproses melalui tahapan organize, synthesize, identify, dan analisis lanjut untuk menemukan jawaban dari perumusan masalah. Dari enam belas artikel yang dianalisis, terdapat dua artikel dengan desain penelitian kohort dan empat belas artikel dengan desain potong lintang. Seluruh artikel menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara faktor psikososial dengan gotrak, namun hal ini tergantung variabel psikososial yang diteliti. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara faktor psikososial terhadap kurangnya kepuasan kerja, kurangnya kontrol kerja, gaji yang tidak memadai, kurangnya penghargaan, stres kerja, gangguan tidur, tuntutan kerja harus cepat selesai, kerja yang monoton dan konflik keluarga terhadap terjadinya gotrak. Namun belum ada penelitian yang menjelaskan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara hubungan interpersonal dengan rekan kerja/atasan, dukungan rekan kerja, keputusan yang bertentangan dan komitmen berlebih di tempat kerja terhadap terjadinya gotrak.

Background: Research is published in indexed, online scholarly journals so that published knowledge can be easily found and built upon by others. Most scholars rely on relatively few online indexing service providers to search for relevant scholarly content. It is under-appreciated that the quality of indexing can vary across different journals and that this can have an adverse effect on the quality of research. Objective: In this short paper I compare the recall of commonly used online indexers; Google Scholar, Web of Knowledge, Scopus, Microsoft Academic Search and Mendeley Search against a selection of over 20,000 papers published in two different high-volume journals: PLOS ONE and Zootaxa. Results: When using Google Scholar, content in Zootaxa has low recall for search terms that are known to occur in it, significantly lower than the near-perfect recall of the same terms in PLOS ONE. All other indexers tend to have lower recall than Google Scholar except Scopus which outperformed Google Scholar for recall on Zootaxa searches. I also elaborate why Dark Research is undesirable for optimal scientific progress with some recommendations for change. Conclusion: This research is a basic proof-of-concept which demonstrates that when searching for published scholarly content, relevant studies can remain hidden as ’Dark Research’ in poorly-indexed journals, even despite expertise-informed efforts to find the content. The technological capability to do full text indexing on all modern scholarly journal content certainly exists, it is perhaps just publisher-imposed access-restrictions on content that prevents this from happening.

This article is guided by one core question, which is how pesantren revolutionized spirituality through Sufism. To answer these questions, the authors collected literature from the Google search engine and Google Scholar. In the search for literature, the author found that studies of the spirituality revolution can be said to be very little, while studies of mental revolution can be considered a lot. The literature taken by Google Scholar shows that the mental revolution is more popular than the spirituality revolution in Indonesia. However, the author holds that the two terms have the same goal, which is to improve morality, which is totally integrated with all aspects of individual life. This article concludes that there are six forms of approach to the spirituality revolution in pesantren, namely: First, the cultivation of the values ​​of Sufism in the field of business and entrepreneurship (entrepreneurship). Second, the acquisition of spirituality through Sufism is done by listening to music. Third, the tarekat is implemented for the rehabilitation of drug patients. Fourth, the tarekat is implemented for mental patients. Fifth, tarekat is used for trauma healing. Sixth, studies and practices of Sufism are broadcast online.
