Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre a prevalência de sarcopenia e fatores associados em idosos institucionalizados. Estratégia de Pesquisa: Esta revisão foi delineada de acordo com as recomendações propostas pelo checklist MOOSE, após registro do protocolo com o PROSPERO (CRD42018109485). Consultaram-se as bases de dados Medline, SciELO, LILACS, SCOPUS, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Oxford Journals e Directory of Open Access Journals, usando os descritores “Sarcopenia”, “Homes for the Aged” e “Aged” (MeSH), sem limitação de tempo, linguagem ou tipo de acesso. Critérios de Seleção: Obrigatoriamente, foram selecionados estudos transversais, realizados com idosos institucionalizados, que verificaram a prevalência de sarcopenia neste contexto (sarcopenia como variável dependente). Estudos fora destes critérios foram excluídos. Resultados: Foram encontrados 288 artigos, dos quais treze foram incluídos. A prevalência de sarcopenia foi de 46,15±18,5% (20,9-85,4%) e os principais fatores associados foram o baixo índice de massa corporal, a desnutrição, o aumento da idade e o sexo (masculino e feminino), respectivamente. A Escala Newcastle-Ottawa identificou nove estudos com alta qualidade equatro estudos com moderada qualidade metodológica. Conclusão: Esta revisão demonstra que a prevalência de sarcopenia em idosos nstitucionalizados é alta, com grande variabilidade e está associada, principalmente, ao déficit nutricional, ao aumento da idade e ao sexo. Ainda, há uma necessidade de padronizar consensos e avaliações para esta população, bem como instruir dirigentes, profissionais de saúde e familiares destes idosos sobre a sarcopenia e suas complicações.

Sulfonamides are widely used in treatment of animals and humans but pose a risk as environmental pollutants. An analysis of 1588 publications focused on sulfonamides is presented here. The review deals with environmental pollution with sulfonamides, described in papers indexed in the database Web of Science from 1938 to 2011. More in depth details are presented regarding publication activity during the last ten years in which 1255 papers have been published by authors from 1100 institutions. Papers, published during the last three years and mainly in 2011, are listed in comprehensive tables, sorted according to five criteria: reviews, contaminated niches, risk of contamination, sulfonamide transformation and methods of analysis. Key words and shortened abstracts direct the reader to the topics of interest. Hyperlinks to full papers, published in open access journals, are another aid in knowledge dissemination. This design of the review article allows easy navigation through vast amounts of information. Finally, a case report illustrates experiences from the author’s laboratory with sulfamethazine determination in pig slurry by ELISA. The reported results highlight the need for updating the legal directives for environmental protection.

Objetivou-se analisar a produção científica acerca das evidências atuais sobre a relação entre as concentrações séricas de zinco e transtornos mentais comuns. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada entre março e julho de 2020, utilizando a estratégia PICOS para selecão dos artigos. As bases de dados foram acessadas por meio da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e Portal de Periódicos da Capes, correspondendo às: Science Direct, Springer Science, Medline/Pubmed, ProQuest LLC, AGRIS, Bentham Science Publishers, Cengage Learning, Web of Science, John Wiley & Sons, Scopus, Directory of Open Access Journals, Maney Publishing, e SAGE Publications. Foram analisadas sete publicações que avaliaram indivíduos de ambos os sexos, em diferentes faixas etárias, baseando-se em estudos observacionais analíticos. Os estudos elencados para análise, conduzidos em grupos de diferentes faixas etárias e número amostral, apresentaram resultados semelhantes, demonstrando prevalências de concentrações reduzidas de zinco no sangue de pacientes com depressão e/ou ansiedade. A correlação entre concentrações séricas de zinco e transtornos mentais comuns, na maioria dos resultados, converge para evidências de que a deficiência de zinco sérico está significativamente associada à sintomatologia depressiva e de ansiedade. Baseando-se nos delineamentos das investigações elencadas, os mesmos não podem determinar uma relação de causalidade entre o zinco e os sintomas depressivos e de ansiedade. Porém, é plausível afirmar, com bases nos resultados e mecanismos fisiológicos do zinco, que a baixa concentração periférica deste elemento pode desempenhar um papel na fisiopatologia de algum domínio da função mental.

Background: Predatory journals promise high acceptance rates and quick publication in exchange for a processing fee. As these journals aim to maximize profits, they neglect traditional mechanisms used to ensure a high-quality publication. Unsolicited email invitations are a characteristic of predatory journals that often inundate the inboxes of surgeons. The objective of this study is to use these emails to identify potentially predatory journals in the area of surgery and plastic surgery. Methods: Unsolicited email requests from surgery-related journals were collected over a 3-month period. Journals were evaluated using a modified version of the Rohrich and Weinstein checklist. The average number of “predatory” criteria met by these potentially predatory journals (PPJs) was compared to that of the top open-access plastic surgery journals which were assumed to be non-predatory for the purposes of this study. Results: In total, 437 unsolicited email requests were received. Of these, 92 emails, representing 57 PPJs, were eligible for inclusion. On average, the PPJs met 5 of the 12 “predatory” criteria, compared to less than 1 in the comparison group. Approximately 96% of these emails, or the respective websites, contained obvious spelling or grammatical mistakes; 98% of these emails came from journals not listed on Scopus, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and/or Web of Science. Conclusions: Of the journals that sent unsolicited emails, 98% met 2 or more criteria and were deemed to be predatory. If a journal contains grammatical mistakes and is not listed on Scopus, DOAJ, and/or Web of Science, authors should be cautious.

Purpose: The number of open access (OA) journals is rapidly increasing, and it is very important for librarians to understand the influence of OA journals on the research community. This study investigated the influence of the OA journals listed in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) based on various indicators.Methods: The data for this study were prepared by combining the JCR 2014 to 2019 journal list with the number of hybrid OA articles obtained by searching the Web of Science. Each journal’s JCR indicators and article processing charge were added. The influence of OA journals was compared according to OA type, whether they were published by large publishers, and whether they were top gold OA journals.Results: Gold OA journals remained weaker in terms of JCR indicators than hybrid journals. However, the top 20 gold OA journals, accounting for 27.0% of all OA articles in JCR 2014 to 2019, were superior in all JCR indicators. The top three OA publishers (MDPI, BioMed Central, and Public Library of Science) showed potential for development despite concerns regarding poor journals. The top three subscription publishers were very active in OA publishing, but their actual share of hybrid OA articles (Elsevier, 5.1%; Springer, 10.1%; and Wiley, 12.4% in JCR 2019) was still insufficient.Conclusion: Some gold OA journals showed high competitiveness and even the possibility for development beyond traditional journals. The transition of subscription journals to hybrid journals was found to be at the early stage. In light of these findings, librarians should continue monitoring the influence of OA journals.

Abstract Background and aim The volume of withdrawn publications in scholarly disciplines has grown steadily, but there is little awareness about this issue in rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to analyze the extent of retracted articles pertaining to rehabilitation. Methods Retracted articles were searched in 4 different bibliographic databases from their inception to April 2020: PubMed, Web of Science, WikiLetters and Retraction Watch. Three independent reviewers assessed the relevance of the retrieved articles to the rehabilitation area. Results Of 280 rehabilitation-related publications retracted between 1984 and 2020, 83 (29.6%) were published in 55 full open access journals and 197 (70.4%) were published in 147 traditional, non-open access or hybrid journals. In the last 10 years (2009–2018) there was a significant steady increase in both the total number of retractions (p < 0.005; r = 0.856; R2 = 0.733) and retraction rate per year (p < 0.05; r = 0.751; R2 = 0.564). However, the number of retractions represents a very small percentage (~ 0.1%) of the overall volume of publications in rehabilitation. Conclusions Our data indicate that the number of retracted articles in rehabilitation is increasing, although the phenomenon is still limited. However, the true prevalence of misconduct may go unnoticed due to the large number of low-quality journals not indexed in the searched databases. Physiotherapists should be aware of the danger of misleading information originating from withdrawn publications.

Journal Policies

The paper discusses the process of devising an editorial policy template intended for Serbian Open Access journals and the role of librarians in this process. The template was developed with the idea to provide assistance to journals involved in the reapplication process in the Directory of Open Access Journals, as well as to those intending to apply for indexing in the Web of Science and Scopus. This ready-made solution has a modular structure and it covers the publication ethics, editorial and publishing procedures, and rights. Librarians also provided assistance in the process of aligning journal policies with the offered template. An early result of these actions is the positive outcome of the reapplication process for all journals that defined their editorial policies relying on the proposed template. The paper also identifies the future challenges associated with the implementation of the newly defined policies.
