The objective of the study is to characterize the world scientific production on academic writing between the years 2011 to July 2021. A bibliometric study was carried out in five databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic and Crossref). Bibliometric indicators were analyzed in 4117 articles through Publish or Perish v. 7.19 and the same analytical software of the chosen databases. The results indicate that the article entitled “Codemeshing in academic writing: Identifying teachable strategies of translanguaging” is the document with the highest number of citations; Montserrat Castelló Badía, the most cited author; Journal Of English For Academic Purposes stands out as the medium with the largest number of publications on the subject; and among the countries that concentrate the largest production on creative writing, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Australia and Spain stand out. It is concluded that the rate of publications will increase in the following months, which means continuing to periodically carry out measurements on scientific production to determine the evolution and contributions of the scientific material produced.

BACKGROUND The concept of a meta-topical brainforest is proposed, to reflect a link between collaborative research and complex ecosystems. Tropical rainforests leverage a diversity of species to capture and convert solar energy into carbon-based life, and research teams can harvest a similar benefit from a diversity of data, tools, and thought paradigms. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), team science is “a collaborative and often cross-disciplinary approach to scientific inquiry that draws researchers who otherwise work independently or as co-investigators on smaller-scale projects into collaborative centers and groups” 1. Thus, team science occurs when artificial boundaries such as departments and institutions are crossed, allowing collaboration in integrated networks. Over the past two decades, the concept has received increasing attention to better understand and address global challenges 2. In 2007, Stefan Wuchty et al. examined 19.9 million research articles in the Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science database and 2.1 million patent records on multiple topics. They concluded that a team-authored paper has increased probability of being highly cited 3. The systems being formed through interdisciplinary collaborations help teams reach achievements that individual researchers are less likely to accomplish. Kohane pointed out 4 that precision medicine in particular requires a higher level of coordination between various agencies and suggests the boundaries between research projects and clinical care institutions should be blurred to link gathered data. The exponential growth and causal interdependencies of ‘-omics’ fields dictate that expertise across disciplines is essential to making meaningful and durable contributions to the understanding of human biology. OBJECTIVE This brief viewpoint aims to explore the impact of cross-institution team science on the development of precision medicine. We hypothesized that international organizations with co-leaders tend to publish more impactful papers than organizations without. Using Pearson's chi-square test and the Mann-Whitney U test, we validated our hypothesis. METHODS Information was collected from the eHealth Catalogue of Activities developed by the nonprofit Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) in 2015 5. The catalog lists international genomic and clinical data-sharing initiatives, and the eHealth Task Team updated the catalog through 2017. The data on the executive leadership team and publications were obtained from the websites of these organizations. If such information was not found, additional data were acquired by directly contacting the organizations or searching on Google Scholar. The impact of papers was evaluated by their number of citations, a criterion of research quality 3. In this paper, co-leadership means that a person holds a leadership position in different organizations concurrently. If two papers from separate organizations have at least one author in common, these two organizations are regarded as having a co-author relationship. Nonparametric tests were performed to verify the hypothesis. We used SPSS version 22.0 (SPSSInc) and R to perform two-tailed tests with an α level of .05. The significance of the correlation between the nominal variables co-leadership and co-authorship was examined by Pearson's chi-square test of independence and expressed in a contingency table. Pearson's chi-square test of goodness of fit was adopted to evaluate whether organizations with co-leaders had a greater number of publications than organizations without, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to examine whether the former organizations published papers that received more citations than the latter. RESULTS We analyzed data from 69 organizations in the catalog and found 16 pairs with co-leader relationships in 2015. Among the 374 publications from these organizations at that time, 13 pairs had co-authors. By 2017, the number of institutions in the catalog increased to 87, and there were 37 pairs with co-leadership, corresponding to 30 organizations. Information on 7,064 papers was collected, showing that 55 organizations had co-authored publications, with 436 papers in total. A. Number of publications The chi-square goodness of fit test suggests that the number of papers being published is strongly correlated with the category of the organization - organizations in a co-leadership network or organizations without a co-leadership (P<0.001, 2015 & 2017). B. Quality of publications The citation number of each paper was obtained from Google Scholar. The results of the Mann-Whitney U test indicated that the number of citations received by publications of organizations with and without co-leaders differed significantly (Z=-13.547, p<0.001, 2017). Papers from the former organizations had a higher mean rank (3603.35 for the group of papers whose publishers are in the co-leadership network, and 2702.67 for the other group), which means that the organizations with co-leaders tended to have a greater number of highly cited papers. C. Relationship between co-leader and co-author In the chi-square test of independence, the total sample size is the number of lines in a fully connected diagram. The results indicate that in both 2015 and 2017, organizations with co-leaders tended to publish papers together, suggesting that co-leadership will lead to co-authorship (P<0.001, 2015 & 2017). CONCLUSIONS These results illustrate the concept of meta-topical brainforests in precision medicine and may have broader implication: cross-enterprise cooperation plays an essential role in solving complex issues. As a field-crossing example, Sovacool suggested researchers should incorporate expertise and data from indigenous groups to address global environmental challenges 6. One hopes the analogy persists and the extraordinary natural future-proofing mechanisms in rainforests by incorporating novel combinations of ancestral DNA coincide with similar continued diversification in research networks and widely impactful publication.

This concluding chapter assesses the attribution of spatiality and timelessness to musical events. The novel experiences offered by the New and post-New Music have been the subject of considerable speculation concerning the temporality of postwar compositions and people's experience of “time” in general. These speculations have centered on two characteristics that distinguish the new music from the old: the spatialization of time and the experience of the moment as an autonomous, timeless, or eternal present. These notions already appeared in earlier discussions of structure and of meter conceived as cyclic return. There it was argued that the spatialization of time and the autonomy of a present freed from becoming are products of conceptualization. However, in postwar avant-garde aesthetics, these categories are adamantly applied to perceptual acts.

Abstract Introduction: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been used as part of athletic training. It is beneficial due to an increase in respiratory capacity, and can be related to the optimization of exercise tolerance. There are a growing number of publications on the subject, however the methodological rigor of these publications is still unknown. Objective: To perform a systematic literature review in order to analyze the effects of Powerbreathe® on inspiratory muscle training by athletes. Methods: Original scientific studies published in English, from 2000 to 2015, were included. Their typology was classified. The literature search was performed in the Lilacs, Medline, Pubmed, and Scielo databases using the following keywords: inspiratory muscle training, athletes, and Sports medicine (in English), treinamento muscular inspiratório, atleta, medicina esportiva (in Portuguese). Results: Inspiratory muscle training with specific linear resistance has been used in some athletic training, and its results are promising. However, its application is still recent and generally supported by experiments with limited population and which do not properly define the confounding factors for the results. Conclusion: The state of the art suggests that IMT is useful as a respiratory therapy supporting the training of athletes for some specific sports. However, there is a scarcity of studies of high methodological quality, thus requiring further experiments on the subject.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the set of contributions of A. Duarte Gomes to the journal Psychologica. Specifically, his co-authors, the impact of his publications on other researchers, and the topics that have been the subject of his interest are analyzed. The search resulted in a total of 17 articles, published between 1991 and 2016, signed by him and in co-authorship. In this journal, A. Duarte Gomes reaches the highest levels of visibility in 2005, with a total of five articles of various kinds. The largest number of publications co-authored in Psychologica was with Leonor Pais and Teresa Rebelo, with five collaborations, and with Carla Carvalho, with four. Focusing on the topics covered in the different articles, it can be observed that A. Duarte Gomes’ scientific interest has focused on the organizational level of analysis, with the most relevant topic being that of organizational culture. The total number of citations received by the analyzed papers is 123, which means 7.2 citations per paper. Four of the articles have been cited in five articles published in JCR/SJR journals. The results have allowed us to empirically verify the role of A. Duarte Gomes building the work and organizational, and personnel psychology in Portugal.

‘Translation’ is one of our all-purpose metaphors for almost any kind of mediation or connection: we ask of a principle how it ‘translates’ into practice, we announce initiatives to ‘translate’ the genome into predictions, and so forth. But the metaphor of translation — of the discovery of equivalents and their mutual substitution — so attracts our attention that we forget the other kinds of inter-linguistic contact, such as transcription, mimicry, borrowing or calque. In a curious echo of the macaronic writings of the era of the dawn of print, the twentieth century's avant-garde, already foreseeing the end of print culture, experimented with hybrid languages. Their untranslatability under the usual definitions of ‘translation’ suggests a revival of this avant-garde practice, as the mainstream aesthetic of the moment invests in ‘convergence’ and the subsumption of all media into digital code.

Crimes against marriage and family are a particular group of social relation­ships that the law has defended properly in view of the high public significance and value they enjoy. At the moment they are regulated in Chapter VI, Section I, of the specific part of the Penal Code the Repub­lic of Bulgaria. The subject matter of this Statement will, however, be the legisla­tive provisions concerning these criminal­ized acts in retrospect. The purpose of the study is to show by historical method and through the comparatively legal method the development of these criminal groups during the periods of various criminal laws in Bulgaria. This will also provide a basis for reflection on possible de lege ferenda proposals. This report from a structural point of view will be divided into three distinct points, marking each of the penal laws in the Republic of Bulgaria, which were in force before 1968.

Background: Scopus is regularly covering Current Drug Metabolism from 2000 onwards. Objective: The major objective is to perform the 1st bibliometric analysis of Current Drug Metabolism (CDM). Methods: The data was retrieved from Scopus in April-May 2020 for detail analysis. Results: The total number of publications was found to be 1551, with 955 reviews (61.57%) and 466 articles (30.05%). From 2000 onwards, we calculated the relative growth rate and doubling time. Based on the number of publications, total 4418 authors, 3235 institutions and 83 countries were directly involved in all publications. M.A. Kamal is the highly productive scientist with fifty-three (53 or 3.73%) publications, King Abdulaziz University is the top university with the highest number of publications (58 or 4.13%) and the USA is the top-ranked country with 365 publications (25.96%). We also provided the h-index, total citations (TC), h-index without self-citations (WSC) and total WSC of the top ten authors, universities and countries. In citations analysis, Prof. Zhou S.F. was the top scientist with the highest (1594) number of citations. In institutional category Department of Drug Metabolism, Merck Research Laboratories, Rahway, United States, is the top ranked institutes with 654 total citations. While, United States is the top-ranked country with 18409 total citations. In co-words analysis, 3387, 30564 and 17333 terms in titles of the manuscripts, abstracts and keywords were recorded, respectively. This indicated that CDM principally focused on understanding drug development ranging from its efficacy to delivery, metabolism, distribution, safety and mechanism of actions. Similarly, various specific drugs were thoroughly discussed in publications. Various enzymatic, genetics, proteins and cancer-related aspects were also described. For data presentations, we used VOSviewer graphical maps. Conclusion: The data confirm that CDM showed continuous growth in the number of publications and citations. However significant measures are needed to make overall progress and improve the rankings in relevant categories.

Objective: Focal cartilage injuries, and posttraumatic osteoarthritis (OA) in the wrist are likely common and a cause of wrist pain. To estimate the incidence of cartilage lesions and to understand the pathomechanisms leading to wrist cartilage injuries and OA, a literature review on the subject was performed combined with a presentation of one of the authors’ own experience. Design: This study includes a literature review of the topic. As a comparison to the review findings, the observations of one of the authors’ consecutive 48 wrist arthroscopies, were assessed. PubMed, Scholar, and Cochrane databases were searched using the keywords “cartilage injury AND wrist AND treatment” and “wrist AND cartilage AND chondral AND osteochondral AND degenerative OA.” :Result A total of 11 articles, including 9 concerning chondral and osteochondral repair and treatment and 2 regarding posttraumatic OA, were retrieved. The cartilage repair treatments used in these articles were drilling, osteochondral autograft, juvenile articular cartilage allograft, and chondrocyte implantation. One article displayed concomitant cartilage injuries in displaced distal radius fractures in 32% of the patients. The review of our findings from a 1-year cohort of wrist arthroscopies showed 17% cartilage injuries. Conclusion: There is a lack of knowledge in current literature on cartilage injuries and treatment, as well as posttraumatic OA in the wrist. Cartilage injuries appear to be common, being found in 17% to 32% of all wrist arthroscopies after trauma, but no guidelines regarding conservative or surgical treatment can be recommended at the moment. Larger prospective comparative studies are needed.
