A range of different methods and tools have been proposed by both academics and professionals in recent years for evaluating the quality of websites. Some are of general application and can be used to assess any type of website, while others have been adapted to the specialized characteristics of the websites employed in a given sector. This paper undertakes an analysis of existing scientific production in this field, with the aim of identifying its most relevant publications, its principal authors and the specific sectors served by the sites under evaluation. By triangulating review methods, 716 texts, published between 2000 and 2018, were identified in Scopus, Web of Science and other databases and examined. In addition to basic bibliographic information, the number of citations received by each text was recorded using Google Scholar. The area of knowledge in which each author works was also categorized based on his or her specific affiliations. The results point to a growing interest in website quality in a scientific community that has a presence in more than 70 countries. Its authors are drawn from various disciplines, although the highest number of publications is recorded in computer science, business and medical informatics. The most frequently cited texts are in fact seminal books in the associated disciplines of usability, information architecture and user experience. However, as of 2007, the number of texts describing evaluation tools for the websites of specific sectors – most notably, education (33%), health (27%) and commerce (21%) – increased their share. In conclusion, it is evident that website quality is a field of study undergoing constant growth and increasing specialization and one that offers ample opportunities for research.

Introduction Novel bibliometric indexes (commonly known as altmetrics) are gaining interest within the scientific community and might represent an important alternative measure of research quality and output. Aims We evaluate how these new metrics correlate with established bibliometric indexes such as the impact factor (IF), currently used as a measure of scientific production as well as a criterion for scientific research funding, and how they might be helpful in assessing the impact of research. Methods We calculated altmetrics scores for all the articles published at our institution during a single year and examined the correlation between altmetrics scores and IFs as a measure of research quality and impact in all departments. Results For all articles from the various departments published in a single year, the altmetrics score and the sum of all IFs showed a strong and significant correlation (Spearman's rho 0.88). The correlation was significant also when the major components of altmetrics, including Facebook, Twitter and Mendeley, were analyzed. The implementation of altmetrics has been found to be easy and effective at both the researcher and librarian levels. Conclusions The novel bibliographic index altmetrics is consistent and reliable and can complement or be considered a valid alternative to standard bibliometric indexes to benchmark output and quality of research for academic and funding purposes.

The Impact

Sanctions on the scientific community of Iran go back to the days following the victory of the 1979 revolution when the severe pressures on the country commenced. Although it is still difficult to estimate quantitatively the impacts of sanctions on the Iranian scientific community, the qualitative estimations and in situ observations bolster the idea that sanctions, particularly those in recent decades, have led to an obvious decrease in the quality of Iranian scientific production. It has led to further cosmopolitanism of the Iranian scientific community in diaspora, and has strengthened extremism and predomination of hardliner attitudes domestically. This paper demonstrates the impact of foreign sanctions on the scientific community of Iran in addition to the already deplorable pressure initiated by the post-revolutionary ruling system and its administration.

Scientific production in the field of Psychiatry is growing exponentially, as reflected by the number of scientific journals now available. Current strategies to objectively estimate the quality of a specific publication are mostly based on indexation and citation criteria. The concept of impact factor, a measure of the frequency with which an article has been cited in a particular period, is key to understanding the way journals are evaluated. The recent indexation of Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria in the two major medical databases has increased the journal's visibility, as indicated by the rising number of citations received over the last years. As researchers' scientific productivity measures are largely associated with citation indices of journals in which manuscripts are published, it is essential that Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria continues to attract high quality, innovative articles, with the ultimate goal of providing state-of-the-art continuing medical education for mental health professionals.

Abstract While Tropical Medicine developed as a new discipline at the turn of the 20th century, Rio de Janeiro’s Instituto Oswaldo Cruz was the only major center not directly linked with neocolonialism, although through a program of multilingual study, personnel exchange and an avant-garde translation policy in its journal Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, it parlayed with the science of the colonial powers and made important discoveries. However, political developments led to increasing isolation for the Institute and increasing monolingualism in its journal. By the late 1970s, Memórias had suspended publication and the Institute was on the verge of collapse. Nevertheless, new leadership and a drive towards globalized English helped form Memórias into the most-cited scientific journal in Latin America. This narrative holds important lessons for Translation Studies, the first of which is that the international scientific community, which has historically depended on translation, is worth more careful consideration as an object of study. In this peripheral institute, translation effected international self-projection, which consolidated national prestige through recognition from authorities abroad. Moreover, the questions of power involved in the literature’s current English-language hegemony, faced even by former European colonizers, are removed only circumstantially from those dealt with in the periphery a century ago.

Economic Profile

The weak competitiveness of domestic science is one of the painful realities of the present. Experts in the field of science-research studies note the low publishing activity of Ukrainian scientists and the lack of knowledge of foreign colleagues in the results of domestic scientists. All this leads to insufficient integration of Ukrainian science into the world scientific community and complicates the cooperation of our scientists in the field of global scientific projects. One of the ways to intensify interaction with the international scientific community is to create competitive professional editions, with high-quality content, published in several languages and having analogies on the Internet. The article summarizes the experience of development of domestic scientific editions of the economic profile (EEP). The purpose of the publication of this work is to describe the internal and external environment of the innovative project of the site of the scientific national journal of the economic profile, namely the substantiation of the project of the electronic version of such edition (EVE). The influence of macroeconomic factors has been investigated. It has been shown that legal and technological factors affect the development of the publication and its electronic analogue positively, and the social, economic and political factors affect the project rather contradictory. The competitive advantages of a modern national economic journal are formulated, such as the availability of an electronic version of the magazine with support for multimedia, access to full-text archives, as well as a well-considered editorial policy and a stable reviewing system. The priority areas for the development of the EEP are the improvement of the quality of scientific publications and a registration of the journal in the science and technology databases of Web of Science and SCOPUS, which presupposes compliance with such requirements as, ISSN availability, periodicity of release, a stable review system, a well-considered editorial policy, a statement of compliance with publication ethics, wide enough geography of authors, presence of a site of a scientific journal (EVE), high quality of polygraphy.
