Publication Patterns

The authors in this article first identify the extent to which research articles published in three American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) journals included participants, age birth to 18 years, from international backgrounds (i.e., residence outside of the United States), and go on to describe associated publication patterns over the past 12 years. These patterns then provide a context for examining variation in the conceptualization of ethnicity on an international scale. Further, the authors examine terminology and categories used by 11 countries where research participants resided. Each country uses a unique classification system. Thus, it can be expected that descriptions of the ethnic characteristics of international participants involved in research published in ASHA journal articles will widely vary.

Coronavirus disease (CoViD-19) is an infection of the respiratory system caused due to various viruses affects the respiratory pathway, and it can spread from one person to another by coughing, sneezing or physical contact. Commonly include cough, cold, fever are the symptoms. Viral diseases increase worldwide concern, including emerging and chronic viruses. The invention of new anti-viral drugs from plants has implicit in the past. The Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) caused due to severe acute respiratory syndrome, which is a transmittable and pathogenic viral infection. Several traditional medicines of plant origin having antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties some have been studied for their anti-viral properties and immune-modulating effects. Herbal drugs are now in massive requirement in the developing countries for primary health care not because of their economical but also for better civilising adequacy, improved compatibility with the human body and significantly fewer side effects. This review gives an overview of some critical traditionally used medicinal herbs with anti-viral properties—the literature regarding the drugs of this group, collected from Ayurveda classics. Research articles are collected from published material and discussed per therapeutic actions. Most of the Herbs are with Katu Rasa (pungent) and Ushna Virya (hot potency). They are indicated in diseases, viz. Kasa (cough), Shwas (asthma), Krumi (worm/ infection). Krumihara property drugs which are correlated with anti-viral action helps to prevent against Novel coronavirus infection.

Microbial Contaminants

Human contamination of Antarctic environments is a sensitive issue and has been the focus of many research articles over the past 35 years. The majority of these studies have targeted waste materials and various hydrocarbons, with assessment of microbial contaminants being largely restricted to sewage outfalls. The present study aimed to detect bacteria of human origin in the area surrounding Halley research station. It was apparent from both molecular and culture methods that bacteria of human origin are extremely difficult to detect outside the immediate surrounding of the buildings, though recommendations are made for increasing the probability of determining the presence of organisms in the environment. The results also indicate that molecular methods are more sensitive than cultural techniques, in that the only evidence for organisms in the environment surrounding the buildings came from positive PCR reactions. PCR would appear to be a useful method for studying the microbial ecology of Antarctic environments.

Different Types

Scholarship on the intersection of games and empathy is limited. However, over the past decade peer-reviewed articles have started to be published in this area. This study investigates this emerging scholarship on empathy and games to understand how researchers are describing, defining and communicating their work. For example, how are research articles about games defining empathy? From which disciplines are the researchers framing their studies? Which types of games are being used in the investigations? Forty-nine articles were found, coded and analysed by searching six different databases. For this investigation, each article was analysed based on the discipline, keyword(s) used to find the article, definition(s) of empathy used, types of games used in the article and the themes used in the article. Articles emerged from twelve different disciplines and described over thirteen different types of empathy. Findings were shared, as well as recommendations for researchers studying this area.

The present study analyses the research articles which focused on international students in China between 1998 and 2018. The data were retrieved from the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI) database and visualized using Citespace 5.0.R7. This paper analyses the key authors, research institutes, disciplines, publishing agency, and co-citation keywords to trace emergent topics and new trends of the research on international students in China. The findings facilitate an in-depth understanding of the research hotspots over the past two decades. This paper has implications for further research on international students in China. 借助Citespace5.0.R7 分析工具，对1998-2018年间CSSCI数据库收录的742篇有关来华留学生研究论文进行可视化分析。通过对二十年来华留学生研究所涉及的主要作者、研究机构、研究学科分布、来源出版物和共被引关键词进行可视化分析，以追踪本领域内总体动态，研究热点和发展趋势。研究成果有助于理清近二十年来华留学生研究领域的动态发展和未来趋势，为我国来华留学生相关研究和高等教育国际化提供参考。

In the past decades, a number of researchers have tried hard to identify the move-step structure of different sections in research articles (RAs) from various disciplines. However, there is a very few amount of previous studies conducted on the move-step structure of the Introduction section of English medical science research articles (MSRAs) written by Chinese researchers published in international journals. In order to fill this gap, the present study aims to identify the moves, steps, and their structure of the Introduction section of English MSRAs written by Chinese researchers at Zunyi Medical University (ZMU) published in international journals. To create the target corpus of the present study, 30 Introductions were purposively selected from 25 international medical science journals, which were published from 2007 to 2015. It is worth noting that all the authors are restricted to Chinese researchers only and at least one author must come from ZMU. The framework of Kanoksilapatham’s (2005) was adopted for the move-step analysis in the present study. The results demonstrated that these Introduction sections were generally written with three moves following the selected framework. In addition, there were two new steps that occurred in the Introduction section of these English MSRAs. In conclusion, the findings of the present study might provide a guideline for the research who plan to write English MSRAs for international articles more effectively. Moreover, the findings may provide valuable information for academic writing textbook designers as well.

Number Of Citations

We analysed the 100 top cited articles in ophthalmology to identify and characterise the most influential articles of the past four decades. Two independent investigators searched the Scopus database to determine the 100 most frequently cited articles in ophthalmology (T100-Eye) and general non-ophthalmology journals (T100-Gen) published from 1975 to December 2017. The T100-Eye list consisted of 83 original articles and 17 reviews, and the number of citations ranged from 582 to 2833. Seventy-eight of these articles were published in three journals alone (impact factor (IF): 5.05–8.2), led by the Archives of Ophthalmology. The T100-Gen list consisted of 84 original articles and 16 reviews and the number of citations ranged from 358 to 3272. Forty-five of these articles were published in four journals alone (IF: 9.66–72.41). In both lists, majority of the first authors were from the USA (T100-Eye, n=80; T100-Gen, n=66), and were men (n=76 in T100-Eye; n=72 in T100-Gen). With regard to the article type, in the T100-Eye, among the 83 original research articles, most were randomised controlled trials (n=26) or clinical observational studies related to description of a new condition or new management (n=26). In the T100-Gen, of the 84 original research articles, many were clinical observational studies (n=27) or basic science research (n=26). In both lists, the most frequently examined diseases were age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Our analysis reveals landmark articles, trends and medical advancements in ophthalmology over the past four decades. It also highlights gender disparity and influence of the USA in seminal ophthalmic research.
