For the agricultural scientific community, data sharing is crucial both for the advancement of the discipline and ability to meet global challenges, such as the target no. 2, i.e., “Zero Hunger,” of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2030). In this context, FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles play an important role, as they guarantee the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of shared data. To improve the practice of data sharing, institutions, funders, and publishers are increasingly demanding data be shared as well as be of an acceptable level of quality, including compliance with FAIR principles. Therefore, the objective of this work is twofold: first, this research aims to determine the degree of compliance with the FAIR principles exhibited by a number of datasets; and second, it aims to explore useful and valid methodologies and procedures that can be used to perform this evaluation quickly, automatically, and effectively. For this purpose, the Data Citation Index (DCI) was used to obtain many datasets in the field of agriculture, which were further grouped by repositories and evaluated using the automated assessment tool F-UJI provided by the FAIRsFAIR project. The results indicated that the principle that exhibited the highest scores was “Findable”, while “Reusable” received the lowest scores, as none of the analysed repositories achieved a 50% compliance score in this respect. The datasets published in the Zenodo and Dryad repositories exhibited better overall results in terms of the FAIR principles, and the AG Commons repository was the third best rated repository, representing only one of the first three repositories belonging to the agricultural sector. Regarding the use of F-UJI as an automated assessment tool and DCI as a source for obtaining datasets, we conclude that this methodology is useful, and that although it can be improved, it is easy to use and implement by other scientific groups an

[Objective]: To characterize global research on the effectiveness of drug use prevention policies, plans, programs and projects, based on the analysis of research articles published and indexed in scientific databases. [Material and methods]: Articles on this topic contained in the Web of Science Core Collection database were downloaded and transferred to a Microsoft Access database using a broad search profile that has already been successfully applied in other works. To characterize the scientific production, methods and indicators from the field of bibliometrics were used, as well as social network analysis. [Results]: The number of published articles (1266) increased, only diminished in the first years of the epidemic by Covid-19. The subject areas with the highest number of papers were Substance Abuse (435), Public Environmental & Occupational Health (394), Psychiatry (163) and Psychology Clinical (157). Articles published by institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada predominated. The most studied topics were those related to alcohol abuse, smoking, opioids and cannabis. [Conclusions]: A progressive increase in the number of articles on the analyzed topic and institutional collaboration has been confirmed, which is indicative of its health and scientific interest. Alcoholism and smoking are the two most studied addictions in these papers, and the most frequent and most cited topics deal with prevention in adolescence, therapeutic compliance, the effectiveness of harm reduction programs and prevention from primary care., [Objetivo]: caracterizar la investigación mundial sobre la eficacia de las políticas, planes, programas y proyectos de prevención del consumo de drogas, partir del análisis de artículos de investigación publicados e indexados en bases de datos científicas. [Material y métodos]: se descargaron y transfirieron a una base de datos en Access de Microsoft los artículos sobre esta temática contenidos en la base de datos Web of Science Core Collection utilizando un perfil de búsqueda amplio que ya fue aplicado con éxito en otros trabajos. Para caracterizar la producción científica se utilizaron métodos e indicadores del campo de la bibliometría, así como el análisis de redes sociales. [Resultados]: los artículos publicados (1266) han tenido una evolución creciente, solo mermada en los primeros años de la epidemia por Covid-19. Las áreas temáticas que acapararon un mayor número de trabajos fueron Substance Abuse (435), Public Environmental & Occupational Health (394), Psychiatry (163) y Psychology Clinical (157). Predominaron los artículos publicados por instituciones de Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, Australia y Canadá. Los tópicos más estudiados fueron los relacionados con el abuso de alcohol, tabaquismo, opioides y cannabis. [Conclusiones]: se ha confirmado un aumento progresivo de los artículos sobre la temática analizada y de colaboración institucional, lo que es indicativo de su interés sanitario y científico. El alcoholismo y el tabaquismo son las dos adicciones más estudiadas en estos trabajos, y los tópicos más frecuentes y más citados tratan sobre la prevención en la adolescencia, el cumplimiento terapéutico, la eficacia de los programas para la reducción de daños y la prevención desde la atención primaria.

[EN]: The objective of this work is to identify the different names, positions, and roles of editorial board members (EBMs) of journals in the Information Science and Library Science (ISLS) field of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and to establish a classification of the different roles to improve communication between editors and researchers. Among the 86 journals included in the ISLS field, the first and last names, position, and institutional affiliation of each EBM were extracted from 84 journals that allowed access to committee information.The information was standardized, and the positions were classified by consensus into major groups according to the role they play in the journals.The 84 journals included 4,122 positions held by EBMs, distributed in 201 positions and classified into 11 broad categories.The majority of positions were included in the Editorial Board category (n = 1,516), followed by Editorial Advisory Board (n = 734) and Associate Editor (n = 566). The journals were published by 36 publishers, with Elsevier and Taylor & Francis contributing the most journals (11 each). The journals in which the EBMs had the highest percentage of foreign members were those publi-shed in the Netherlands. This study provides a picture of the broad distribution of the roles and terminological titles that EBMs have in Information Science and Library Science journals. Because of this diversity, it is advisable to develop a guide to good editorial practices that includes both a description of the complex range of roles performed by EBMs and a unified nomenclature for these universal positions., [ES]: El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las diferentes denominaciones, puestos y papeles de los miembros de los comités editoriales (MCEs) de las revistas del área de Information Science and Library Science (ISLS) deJournal Citation Reports (JCR) y establecer una clasificación de los roles que contribuya a mejorar la comunicación entre editores e investigadores. De las 86 revistas incluidas del área ISLSse extrajeron los apellidos y nombres, puesto y afiliación institucional de cada MCE de un total de 84 revistas que permitían acceder a la información sobre los comités. Se normalizó la información y se clasificaron los puestos por consenso en grandes grupos según el papel que desempeñaban en las revistas. En las 84 revistas se inclu-yeron 4.122 MCEs distribuidos en 201 puestos y se clasificaron en 11 grandes categorías. La mayoría de puestos estaban incluidos en la categoría Editorial Board (n=1.516), seguida de Editorial Advisory Board (n=734) y Associate Editor (n=566). Las revistas se editaron en 36 editoriales, siendo Elsevier y Taylor & Francis las que aportaron más revistas (11 cada una). Las revistas en las que los MCEs presentaban un mayor porcentaje de miembros extranjeros son las editadas en los Países Bajos. El estudio proporciona una imagen de la amplia casuística de los papeles y denominaciones terminológicas que tienen los MCEs en las revistas del área Information Science & Library Science. Debido a esta diversidad, sería conveniente elaborar una guía de buenas prácticas editoriales que incluyera tanto la descripción del complejo abanico de funciones que desarrollan los MCEs como una denominación unificada de estos puestos de uso universal.

[EN]: Addictive disorders are a serious health problem to which large amounts of research resources are devoted. This study aims to analyze the evolution and scientific impact of the publications derived from the funding of research projects by the Spanish National Plan on Drugs (PNSD). The list of grants awarded was provided by the PNSD. Derived publications were obtained by asking the principal investigators of the grants and searching in the Web of Science and Scopus. Bibliometric indicators and evolutive trends of scientific production per project were calculated. On average, the PNSD conferred 15 annual grants to research projects, with an annual amount close to one million euros (€944,200.64) and an average amount per grant of just over €60,000, being higher in basic research and in alcohol. 71,9% of the grants had derived publications and almost half of them produced between one and three publications, with basic research being the most prolific. The international journal in which most articles were published was Psychopharmacology (50) and among Spanish journals, Adicciones stood out (28). A high level of co-authorship and international collaboration was identified. Most of the PNSD-funded projects produced research articles, many of them in journals belonging to the first and second quartiles of the Journal Citation Reports. The results of this study have revealed the scientific impact of the PNSD research projects funding and may contribute to determining future funding priorities., [ES]: Los trastornos adictivos son un grave problema de salud al que se destinan gran cantidad de recursos de investigación. El propósito de este trabajo es analizar la evolución e impacto científico de las publicaciones derivadas de las ayudas a proyectos de investigación financiados por el Plan Nacional Sobre Drogas (PNSD). La relación de ayudas concedidas fue proporcionada por el PNSD. Las publicaciones derivadas se obtuvieron preguntando a los investigadores principales de las ayudas y buscando en Web of Science y Scopus. Se calcularon indicadores bibliométricos y tendencias evolutivas de la producción científica por proyecto. Por término medio, el PNSD concedió 15 ayudas anuales a proyectos de investigación, con un importe anual cercano al millón de euros (944.200,64€) y un importe medio por ayuda de algo más de 60.000€, siendo mayor en la investigación básica y en alcohol. El 71,9% de las ayudas tuvieron publicaciones derivadas y casi la mitad produjeron entre una y tres publicaciones, siendo la investigación básica la más prolífica. La revista extranjera en la que más artículos se publicaron fue Psychopharmacology (50) y entre las españolas destacó Adicciones (28). Se identificó un alto índice de coautoría y de colaboración internacional. La mayoría de los proyectos financiados por el PNSD produjeron artículos de investigación y muchos de ellos en revistas del primer y segundo cuartil del Journal Citation Reports. Los resultados de este estudio han permitido conocer la repercusión científica de las ayudas a proyectos de investigación del PNSD y puede contribuir a determinar futuras prioridades de financiación.

En los últimos años ha habido un gran interés en abordar la infrarrepresentación de las mujeres en los campos de la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería y las matemáticas (STEM), pero los avances hacia la igualdad de género en estos campos son lentos (Casad et al., 2020).

Seeking the best strategies to improve Agricultural research is a need recognized by all international organizations, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our objective is to find methodologies to determine compliance with the FAIR principles in this field through two resources: Data Citation Index (DCI) and F-UJI tool, based on 16 metrics and developed by the FAIRsFAIR team.

[EN]: In recent years, publishers, journals, public and private organizations, as well as academic institutions, have promoted the sharing of material that is part of the research process, but which for various reasons has not been included in the final publication. However, little is known about how much material is actually shared and what its characteristics are. For this reason, the objective of this study is to analyze to what extent the teaching and research staff (PDI) of the University of Valencia (UV) share additional material in scientific publications. For this, a representative sample of the 5,679 articles published by the UV PDI was obtained in 2018. The results obtained show that only a quarter of the documents have some type of additional material, with a low frequency of files with reusable material and they were especially focused on specific knowledge areas. However, of these, a large majority are in the first quartile of the Journal Cititation Report or Scimago Journal Rank. It is suggested the need to establish policies at the Universitat de Valencia that promote training on the deposit of additional material and research data in research articles., [ES]: Las editoriales, revistas, organismos públicos y privados, así como las instituciones académicas, han pro-movido en los últimos años la compartición de aquel material que forma parte del proceso de investigación, pero que por diversas razones no se ha podido incluir en la publicación final. No obstante, poco se sabe sobre cuánto de este material adicional efectivamente se comparte y cuáles son sus características. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar en qué medida comparte material adicional en publicaciones científicas el personal docente e investiga-dor (PDI) de la Universitat de València (UV). Para ello, se obtuvo una muestra representativa de los 5.679 artículos publicados por el PDI de la UV en el año 2018. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que solo una cuarta parte de los documentos tiene algún tipo de material adicional, con una baja frecuencia de archivos con material reutilizable y focalizados especialmente en áreas del conocimiento específicas. Sin embargo, de estos, una gran mayoría están en el primer cuartil de Journal Cititation Report o Scimago Journal Rank. Se sugiere la necesidad de establecer políticas en la Universitat de València que promuevan la formación sobre el depósito de material adicional y datos de investi-gación en los artículos de investigación.

The bioethics research conducted in Ibero-American countries has been very much restricted to its own realm. The aim of this study was to perform a bibliometric evaluation of bioethics papers by authors affiliated with Ibero-American institutions, and to determine how their work influences global bioethics literature. We performed a literature search in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC) and Scopus. We identified a total of 5,975 documents, of which 84.3% were articles, 11.6% reviews and 4.1% book chapters. The median number of citations per paper was higher in English-language journals. Only 10 articles published between 2010 and 2019 in peer-reviewed bioethics journals and produced exclusively by authors from Ibero-American institutions garnered more than 15 citations. Our study suggests that if researchers from Ibero-American institutions want to influence global bioethical thinking, they must make the required leap in quality to be able to publish in high-quality bioethics and mainstream journals.

[Introduction]: The aim of this study was to analyze scientific production, collaboration among countries, and research topics focusing on pediatric obesity. [Methods]: The papers that were included in the study were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection from Clarivate Analytics. A bibliometric analysis of several focuses, including journals of publication, subject categories, most frequent author keywords, and journal impact factors, was conducted. Social network analysis was used to recognize collaboration groups between countries and the co-occurrences of author keywords. [Results]: A total of 12,171 research articles were published in 2036 journals classified under a variety of subject areas, with pediatrics (27.7%), nutrition and dietetics (18.5%), and public environmental and occupational health (18.4%) accounting for the most frequent study areas, and Pediatric Obesity (309), the International Journal of Obesity (299), and BMC Public Health being the most productive journals. The main challenges identified for pediatric obesity include general topics such as physical activity, nutrition, diet, and prevention as well as other more specific challenges such as metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, eating behavior, and cardiovascular diseases. [Conclusions]: We observed a growth rate in the number of published articles of 59.8%, which serves as evidence of the importance of the topic. The number of funded papers also doubled from 2010 to 2019. There has been significant global collaboration on the topic, with countries across five continents being involved. The results of the thematic analysis reveal the importance of exercise and nutrition-related topics along with specialized health terms and terms related to public health.

[EN]: [Introduction]: It has been observed that women are less represented in research on addictions, which may diminish their contribution to the area. Purpose: To analyze the existence of gender inequality in different activities related to research on addictions. [Methods]: The representation of Spanish women was calculated from three perspectives: in the grants to research projects funded by the Spanish Plan Nacional Sobre Drogas (PNSD), in the publications derived from these projects, and in the editorial committees (EC) of a selection of journals on addictions. [Results]: Only 26.9% of the main researchers in the PNSD grants were women. No statistically significant differences were observed between the sex of the principal investigator, the number of researchers, their sex and the collabo-ration with researchers of another sex in the publications. In three foreign journals only one Spanish woman partici-pates as the only member of the EC (Alcohol and Alcoholism, Alcohol and Addictive Behaviors). [Conclusions]: Only a third of the main researchers of the PNSD grants are women and their representation has not increased in recent years. The presence of women in the EC of the Spanish journals of addictions is the fifth part that the one of the men and in the foreign journals their representation is smaller., [ES]: [Introducción]: Se ha constatado una menor representación de las mujeres en la investigación sobre adicciones que puede mermar su aportación al área. [Objetivo]: Analizar las diferencias de género en las distintas actividades relacionadas con la investigación en adiccio-nes. Material y método: Se calculó la representación de las mujeres españolas desde tres perspectivas: en las ayudas a proyectos de investigación financiados por el Plan Nacional Sobre Drogas (PNSD), en las publicaciones derivadas de estos proyectos, y en los comités editoriales (CE) de una selección de revistas sobre adicciones. [Resultados]: El 26,9% de investigadores principales de las ayudas del PNSD fueron mujeres. No se obsevaron diferen-cias estadísticamente significativas entre el sexo del investigador principal, el número de investigadores, su sexo y la colaboración con investigadores de otro sexo en las publicaciones. En tres revistas extranjeras sólo participa una mujer española como único miembro del CE (Alcohol and Alcoholism, Alcohol y Addictive Behaviors). [Conclusiones]: Sólo una tercera parte de los investigadores principales de las ayudas del PNSD son mujeres y su re-presentación no ha aumentado en los últimos años. La presencia de mujeres en los CE de las revistas españolas de adicciones es la quinta parte que la de los hombres y en las revistas extranjeras su representación es menor.
