This article reviews 62 years (1957–2018) of research in library and information science in Pakistan. A comprehensive bibliometric study was conducted using the four leading databases (Web of Science, Scopus, Library and Information Science Abstracts, and Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts). The researchers found a positive upward trend. Library research is on the rise in Pakistan. The Department of Information Management at the University of the Punjab is the major contributor to the library and information science literature. Forty percent of the total publications were published in two Pakistani journals. Older and well-established institutions like the University of the Punjab and the University of Karachi have taken the lead in publishing research. The Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces require more focus and funding.

Supramolecular architectures that are built artificially from biomolecules, such as nucleic acids or peptides, with structural hierarchical orders ranging from the molecular to nano-scales have attracted increased attention in molecular science research fields. The engineering of nanostructures with such biomolecule-based supramolecular architectures could offer an opportunity for the development of biocompatible supramolecular (nano)materials. In this review, we highlighted a variety of supramolecular architectures that were assembled from both nucleic acids and peptides through the non-covalent interactions between them or the covalently conjugated molecular hybrids between them.

Cel/teza: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników badań współautorstwa publikacji z zakresu bibliologii i informatologii, przeprowadzonych na podstawie wybranych czasopismach polskich i zagranicznych, opublikowanych w latach 2000–2009. Autor dodatkowo prezentuje wyniki analizy wykorzystania anglojęzycznych czasopism przez polskich bibliologów i informatologów, uznając cytowania obcojęzycznych publikacji za jeden ze wskaźników kompetencji językowych, niezbędnych do podejmowania międzynarodowej współpracy naukowej. Koncepcja/metody badań: Badania przeprowadzono na podstawie danych zgromadzonych w bazie CYTBIN oraz pięciu czasopism zagranicznych: International Journal of Information Management, Journal of Academic Librarianship, Journal of Documentation, Journal of the American Society for In­formation Science and Technology oraz Library and Information Science Research. Wyniki i wnioski: Przeprowadzone badania ukazały tendencję wzrostu liczby publikacji wieloau­torskich w piśmiennictwie zagranicznym w latach 2000-2009, w których artykuły wieloautorskie stanowią 39% ogółu publikacji. Natomiast w literaturze polskiej zaobserwowano w tym okresie stały, 9% udział publikacji wieloautorskich. W badanych czasopismach zagranicznych regularnie pojawiają się artykuły trzech i większej liczby autorów, stanowiąc 16% ogółu publikacji, podczas gdy w czasopismach polskich publikowane są artykuły autorstwa, co najwyżej trzech osób, stanowiąc zaledwie 1% wszystkich publikacji. Oryginalność/wartość poznawcza: Przeprowadzone badanie przedstawia w kategoriach ilościowych współautorstwo publikacji w polskich czasopismach z zakresu bibliologii i informatologii i porównuje je z publikacjami w czasopismach zagranicznych.

Curation is a critical information management problem that has often been overlooked by prior information science research. Curation is important because people are increasingly acquiring large, heterogeneous archives of valuable personal data that they find difficult to manage and access. This chapter contrasts curation, where users are responsible for organizing their own personal information, with traditional information management models, which focus on consumption of public information organized by others. The chapter introduces the key curation lifecycle processes of keeping, management and exploitation, describing the interrelations between them. It argues that curation processes are deep-rooted and somewhat resistant to technology change.

The purpose of the article is to review and analyze the participation of libraries in the maintenance of modern research information management systems that provide scientists with the necessary digital services and effectively support digital scientific communication. The methodology of the study is a set of system analysis of changes in the providing of libraries to support research in the digital environment. The scientific novelty of the article is the generalization of key trends in the development of integrated library systems for supporting scientific activities and the development of the concept of the library portal of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Conclusions. Modern research information systems are an effective tool for managing research data. A critical aspect of supporting such systems is the quality of the data that librarians can provide at the appropriate level. The library portal of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, created and maintained by the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine, built on the principles of integrated scientific information systems, will preserve and provide access to documentary heritage sources and modern sources of scientific information, provide a single access point to consolidated achievements academic science, will ensure the integration of portal metadata into international scientific information systems. Key words: research information systems, research support systems, research libraries, academic science, research information management, research metadata, library knowledge portals.
