Objectives: The objectives of this paper is to conduct a bibliometric analysis to examine the research status and development trend of anterior cruciate ligament injury and reconstruction in children and adolescents over the past 20 years. Design: Descriptive Research. Methods: This study obtained information regarding studies on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Children and Adolescents from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Visual and bibliometric analysis were conducted using VOSviewer, Origin 2022, Pajek64 5.18and Excel 2019. These analytic tools facilitated the analysis of various aspects, including countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals and keywords related to the research. Results: From 2003 to 2023, a total of 1328 articles were retrieved in WOS, and 637 articles were selected by two authors. The most productive institutions are Childrens Hosp Philadelphia, Kocher, ms. Their articles have the highest number of publications and citations. The American journal of sports medicine is the most frequently cited journal for articles on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in children and adolescents. The most common keywords used in these articles were "anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction", "injury, children, adolescent", and "skeletally immature patients". Conclusions: This study provides valuable insights into the research focus of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in children and adolescents. In recent years, there has been significant attention paid to areas of "the return to sport, re-repture rate and functional recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction" in this specific population. These aspects have emerged as key directions for future research in this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article reports on the resignation of Bambang Parmanto, the editor-in-chief of "The Open Information Science Journal" in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It notes that the Parmanto claimed the its publisher Bentham Science Publishing received a fake article without his knowledge.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented an opportunity for academic libraries to advance open access (OA) to scholarly articles. Awareness among faculty on the importance of OA has increased significantly during the pandemic, as colleges and universities struggle financially and seek sustainable access to high-quality scholarly journals. Consortia have played an important role in establishing negotiation principles on OA journal agreements. While the number of OA agreements is increasing, case studies involving individual libraries are still limited. This paper reviews existing literature on publisher negotiation principles related to OA journal negotiations and reflects on recent cases at an academic library in Pennsylvania, in order to identify best practices in OA journal negotiations. It provides recommendations on roles, relationships, and processes, as well as essential terms of OA journal agreements. This study's findings are most relevant to large academic libraries that are interested in negotiating with scholarly journal publishers independently or through consortia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents information on various papers related to academic libraries, published in various magazines or presented at some conferences. One of the papers presents information on a thorough summary of the key areas where e-learning systems and academic library information services need to interact. Another paper presented at the ACRL National Conference in North Carolina, discusses the integration of two modules created by library into one existing course management system which was used campus-wide at Penn State University in University Park, Pennsylvania.

The twelfth national meeting of the Operations Research Society of America was held at the Penn-Sheraton Hotel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on November 14-15,1957, with 383 registrants, of whom 140 were non-members, attending the seven sessions. The membership of the Society on October 31, 1957, was 2,226, as compared with 2,009 on April 30 of the same year.

A meeting of the Society was held on Pittsburgh, from November 14-15, 1957, with 383 registrants. At the Council Meeting in Pittsburgh, several actions were taken to ensure that members of the Society would benefit to the greatest extent possible from the Society's various publishing ventures. These included a decision to distribute a copy of the journal "Proceedings of the International Conference on Operational Research," to all members of the Society at no charge.
