The article presents a scientific research on patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) by analyzing data on the bibliographic analysis of articles published from 2003 to 2012. Mentioned is the use of Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) database from online Web of Science (WOS) platform. Data from "Multiple Sclerosis and Multiple Sclerosis Journal" is also evaluated.

The article provides an in-depth analysis of international scientific research on the evaluation of policies, plans, programs, and projects aimed at preventing drug use. It discusses the most cited works in the field and analyzes thematic trends and associations among keywords related to substance abuse prevention. Additionally, it examines the annual evolution, production, and impact of journals, institutions, and countries involved in this research domain.

This article is a summary of the different pathways to publish research data, of metrics for evaluating publishing and reuse, and of the existing services for measuring the reuse of research data. It is not yet possible to accurately analyze the metrics for open research data and this is one of the reasons why, in general, researchers do not include them in the assessment of their work. In order to further the use of these tools, it is necessary to increase the number of studies about these evaluation metrics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Precision agriculture (PA) is used to improve agricultural processes. A better understanding of PA as well as the evolution of the research status through the available literature are reported and discussed in this study. The Web of Science (WoS) was used to obtain the research records under study. Indicators of scientific productivity, collaboration between countries and research impact were evaluated through a social network analysis. The keywords included in the publications and subject areas under which the research was published were also evaluated through subject analysis. A total of 2027 articles were analysed from 1994 to 2014. The most productive journals were 'Computers and Electronics in Agriculture' (n = 191) and 'Precision Agriculture' (n = 110). The most frequent keywords were 'management' (n = 243), 'yield' (n = 231), 'soil' (n = 198) and 'variability' (n = 190). The collaboration network showed the United States occupying a central position, in combination with some leading countries such as Brazil, Germany, People's Republic of China, Canada, Australia and Spain. A steady increase in PA research was identified during the last decade, which was even more sharp between 2010 and 2014. The increased importance of PA research has recently led to the birth of specific journals such as Precision Agriculture. The increasing number of journals that publish articles related to the topics included in the WoS must also be considered. The network analysis identified a number of developed countries in the hotspot of international collaboration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The sharing of research data is a hot topic at the international level, especially due to the development of e-science, based on collaborative working methods that use technology in an intensive manner. The amount of digital data and of its sharing is growing fast, and a lack of proper management could limit the potential benefits to stakeholders (researchers, governments and public funding agencies, research managers and libraries, and finally the publishing sector). The aim of this review is first to place the sharing of electronic research data in the context of its appearance and of open environments; secondly, it describes the life cycle model of data preservation; finally, it describes several initiatives dealing with methodologies and technologies. In parallel, international developments and highlights needs that exist in Spain are described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
