Institutional discovery environments now serve as central resource databases for researchers in the academic environment. Over the last several decades, there have been numerous discovery layer research inquiries centering primarily on user satisfaction measures of discovery system effectiveness. This study focuses on the creation of a largely automated method for evaluating discovery layer quality, utilizing the bibliographic sources from student research projects. Building on past research, the current study replaces a semiautomated Excel Fuzzy Lookup Add-In process with a fully scripted R-based approach, which employs the stringdist R package and applies the Jaro-Winkler distance metric as the matching evaluator. The researchers consider the error rate incurred by relying solely on an automated matching metric. They also use Open Refine for normalization processes and package the tools together on an OSF site for other institutions to use. Since the R-based approach does not require special processing or time and can be reproduced with minimal effort, it will allow future studies and users of our method to capture larger sample sizes, boosting validity. While the assessment process has been streamlined and shows promise, there remain issues in establishing solid connections between research paper bibliographies and discovery layer use. Subsequent research will focus on creating alternatives to paper titles as search proxies that better resemble genuine information-seeking behavior and comparing undergraduate and graduate student interactions within discovery environments.

Data collection is a fundamental process in any scientific investigation. This article outlines best practices for three general elements of the data-collection process: (1) determining the specific aim, (2) design, and (3) documentation. We discuss these elements in the style of a tutorial, using extended examples specific to dental research. Each section of the tutorial concludes with a bullet-point summary for ease of reference to the readers. The supplemental material for this article includes templates designed to assist dental researchers in initiating the data-collection process in their respective research efforts, and selected references are organized by topic. Although written for an audience of clinical scientists in dentistry, the principles outlined here could be generalized to other health science research contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To study library guides, as published on Springshare's LibGuides platform, new approaches are needed to expand the scope of the research, ensure comprehensiveness of data collection, and reduce bias for content analysis. Computational methods can be utilized to conduct a nuanced and thorough evaluation that critically assesses the resources promoted in library guides. Web-based library guides are curated by librarians to provide easy access to high-quality information and resources in a variety of formats to support the research needs of their users. Recent scholarship considers library guides as valuable resources and as de facto publications, highlighting the need for critical study. In this article, the authors present a novel model for comprehensively gathering data about a specific genre of books from individual LibGuide pages and applying computational methods to explore the resultant data. Beginning with a pre-selected list of 159 books, we programmatically queried the titles using the LibGuides Community search engine. After cleaning and filtering the resultant data, we compiled a list of 20,484 book references (of which 6,212 are unique) on 1,529 LibGuide pages. By testing against inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure relevancy, we identified a total of 281 titles relevant to our topic. To gain insights for future study, citation analysis metrics are presented to reveal patterns of frequency, co-occurrence, and bibliographic coupling of books promoted in LibGuides. This proof-of-concept could be adopted for a variety of applications, including assessment of collections, public services, critical librarianship, and other complex questions to enable a richer and more thorough understanding of the information landscape of LibGuides.

High-resolution seismic imaging at all scales using full waveform inversion is now routinely used in the industry and in the academy. One key element for the success of this approach is a numerical method, named adjoint state method, originally designed for optimization problems constrained by partial differential equations, a category to which full waveform inversion belongs. This method provides an efficient way to compute the gradient of the full waveform inversion misfit function, which is the most computationally demanding task in the implementation of full waveform inversion. While well known, the complete and rigorous mathematical derivation of the adjoint state method for full waveform inversion remains missing in the scientific bibliography. The aim of this study is to remedy this lack. The derivation is performed in general settings, that is in the elastodynamics approximation, with and without considering viscosity. Through the calculus, the mechanism of the adjoint state strategy makes clear the connection between the incident and adjoint fields, especially regarding their initial and boundary conditions. The impact of introducing the viscosity is carefully analysed. The resulting gradient formulas are analysed and shown to be consistent with already published ones. The generic approach which is adopted also makes it possible to derive misfit function gradients with respect to other quantities than the subsurface mechanical parameters, for instance with respect to the initial or the boundary conditions, which could be of interest for specific applications where the reconstructed parameters are not only volumetric mechanical parameters but boundary parameters or initial field values.

Since its foundation on 25 May 1963, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) has maintained an unwavering position on the decolonisation of African territories. The aim of this study is to analyse the position of this institution with respect to three island regions: The Canary Islands, a Spanish territory, the Cape Verde Islands, occupied by Portugal until 1974, and Madeira, currently a Portuguese region. In the case of the first and the third, the OAU, after a long process of negotiation, decided not to support self-determination, while in the case of Cape Verde the position remained unchanged. Therefore, in this study we will analyse the causes and motivations that led the African forum to take a divergent decision in territories that are certainly close to each other. To this end, a review of the bibliography will be carried out and primary sources will be used, such as official documents from international institutions (minutes and resolutions of the UN and the OAU).

Simple Summary: The thread-legged bug genus Bagauda Bergroth, 1903 (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Emesinae: Leistarchini) has native species in Africa and Asia, many of which are well known for their cave-living habits and have received attention in ecological, evolutionary, and taxonomic studies. The monotypic genus Pleias Kirkaldy, 1901 has recently been recognized as the senior synonym of Bagauda, yet the nomenclatural and taxonomic issues surrounding them have not been well resolved, resulting in the two genus-level names still being used as valid in current publications. This study presents a comprehensive review of the nomenclature and taxonomy of Pleias and its included species, providing a redescription of the genus and identification keys to the species, as well as bibliographies, diagnosis and known distributional records for each species, including the proposal of 18 new combinations, two new synonyms, and three new species. The nomenclatural and taxonomic issues regarding the thread-legged bug genera Pleias Kirkaldy, 1901 and Bagauda Bergroth, 1903 are reviewed, and Pleias is concluded to be the valid name of the genus. A comprehensive review of Pleias is conducted, resulting in 18 new combinations and two new synonymies [P. aelleni (Villiers, 1970) comb. n., P. atypica (Ghate, Boyane & Joshi, 2019) comb. n., P. avida (Bergroth, 1903) comb. n., P. brunnea (McAtee & Malloch, 1926) comb. n., P. cavernicola (Paiva, 1919) comb. n., P. creppei (Lhoste, 1939) comb. n. = Bagauda gilletti Miller, 1956 syn. n., P. ernstmayri (Kulkarni & Ghate, 2016) comb. n., P. furcosa (Ribes, 1987) comb. n., P. gigantea (Lhoste, 1939) comb. n., P. lucifuga (McAtee & Malloch, 1926) comb. n., P. monodi (Villiers, 1972) comb. n., P. similis (Wygodzinsky, 1966) comb. n., P. smithersi (Wygodzinsky, 1966) comb. n., P. splendens (Distant, 1906) comb. n., P. strinatii (Villiers, 1970) comb. n., P. tenebricola (Horváth, 1910) comb. n., P. wagneri (Villiers, 1949) comb. n. = B. eriksoni Miller, 1954 syn. n., and P. zetteli (Rédei, 2005) comb. n.]. The bibliographies, diagnosis, and known distribution records are presented for all described species, and three new species [P. fashengisp. n. (from Yunnan, China), P. serratasp. n. (from Sabah, Malaysia), and P. trimaculatasp. n. (from Sulawesi, Indonesia)] are described. The identification keys to the African and Asian species of Pleias are provided. The systematic relationships, distribution, and ecology of the genus are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Malik National Library houses a collection of nearly 4,850 lines of poetry under Access Code 6240. This manuscript is attributed to Mohammad Hossein Saqib in the library's records and is referred to as both "Kaliat Saqib" and "Diwan Saqib" in reference to Shahabuddin Saqib Dehlavi. However, it lacks a title and direct information regarding the poet's identity, aside from the poetic surname "Saqib". This study aimed to introduce the manuscript and its stylistic significance while addressing the question of which poet bearing the surname "Saqib" authored these verses. The article analyzed the bibliographic details of the manuscript using library and document research methods, highlighting its notable features. The findings indicated that the poetry reflected the poet's engagement with new themes, particularly Indian romantic stories. Additionally, the text included Turkish verses and referenced to Fath Ali Shah Qajar, as well as elements of Indian culture. An examination of the biographies of poets known as "Saqib", especially Mohammad Hossein Saqib and Saqib Dehlavi—both listed in the Malik National Library's records—suggested that attributing this work to Mohammad Hossein Saqib was unlikely. Instead, Shahabuddin Saqib Dehlavi might be the more plausible author until further evidence would emerge. The manuscript comprised a preface, sonnets, quatrains, masnavis, odes, humorous pieces, and compositions of stanzas. Key themes included romantic tales, anecdotes, didactic and moral topics, descriptions, debates, and praise of the Imams. The variety of poetic forms and the originality of the subject matter, particularly in the fictional masnavis, warranted significant attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the academic professions, publications are essential for high-stakes decisions about employment, recognition, and promotion. Therefore, impartial frameworks are needed for evaluating the rigor of scholarly physicians' bibliographies. This article provides objective criteria for evaluating bibliographies based on author position, publication type, impact, volume, thematic focus, and trajectory. Key threats to the fair assessment of physicians' bibliographies include disparities regarding underrepresentation and professional opportunities, not recognizing the successes of disadvantaged authors, and exploiting publications to gain favor and abuse positions of power. Unbiased criteria for evaluating bibliographies mitigate these threats to fair assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although significant strides have been made in cardiac pacing, the field is still evolving. While transvenous permanent pacing is highly effective in the management of bradyarrhythmias, it is not risk free and may result in significant morbidity and, rarely, mortality. Transvenous leads are often the weakest link in a pacing system. They may dislodge, fracture, or suffer breaches in their insulation. This review was undertaken to clarify leadless risks, benefits, and alternatives to transvenous cardiac pacing for bradyarrhythmias and heart failure management. In order to clarify the role(s) of leadless pacing, this narrative review was undertaken by searching MEDLINE to identify peer-reviewed clinical trials, randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and review articles, as well as other clinically relevant reports and studies. The search was limited to English-language reports published between 1932 and 2024. Leadless pacing was searched using the terms Micra™, Nanostim™, AVEIR™, single-chamber leadless pacemaker, dual-chamber leadless pacemaker, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), cardiac physiological pacing (CPP) and biventricular pacing (BiV). Google and Google Scholar, as well as bibliographies of identified articles were also reviewed for additional references. The advantages and limitations of leadless pacing as well as options that are under investigation are discussed in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Parkinson's disease psychosis (PDP) is one of the most severe and disabling non-motor symptoms in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD), significantly impacting the prognosis of PD patients. In recent years, there has been an increase in literature on PDP. However, bibliometrics has rarely been applied to PDP research. This study provides an overview of the current state of PDP research and predicts future trends in this field. Methods: The literature search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection, with the search terms (Parkinson* AND (psychotic* OR hallucination* OR illusion* OR delusion* OR misperception* OR psychosis OR psychoses)). VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were employed to perform bibliometric analysis and visual representation of the search results. Results: A total of 603 articles were effectively included. Since 2017, there has been a significant upward trend in publications related to PDP. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada were the top three contributing countries in terms of publication volume, with France also having a strong influence in this field. Movement Disorders and King's College London included and published the most articles on PDP. The paper titled " Hallucinations in Parkinson's Disease: Prevalence, Phenomenology, and Risk Factors " received the highest number of citations and average citations. Cluster analysis results identified brain, prevalence, connectivity, and atypical antipsychotics as key hotspots in this field. High-frequency keywords were grouped into three themes: neurobiology, therapeutic strategies, and symptom research. Among them, pimavanserin, risk, and functional connectivity have been the most studied areas in the past 7 years and are likely to remain key topics in future research. Conclusion: Research on PDP has garnered increasing attention. This study visualizes PDP research over the past 25 years to analyze global hotspots and trends. It offers researchers a valuable perspective for identifying key topics and understanding research trajectories in this expanding field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ibāḍ īyyah, one of the first Islamic sects, has been studied within the scope of Islamic science departments such as Islamic Theology, Hadith, Tafsīr (Qur'anic Exegesis) and Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence), especially the History of Islamic Sects, and has been the subject of academic research. Studies on Ibāḍ īyyah in Turkey followed a rapid pace, especially in the twenty-first century. This study provides a bibliography of books, graduate theses, articles and papers produced on Ibāḍ īyyah in Islamic sciences, especially in the History of Islamic Sects; and it discusses the historical development of Ibāḍ īyyah studies in Turkey. It has been seen that two basic approaches have been adopted in the studies on Ibāḍ īyyah in the History of Islamic Sects departments. According to the first approach, based on the historical sources of traditional sects from a Sunni point of view, Ibāḍ īyyah has been accepted as the continuation of the Khawārij. However, the objections of the Ibāḍ īs on this issue have been ignored. According to the second approach, the sect has been tried to be understood based on Ibāḍ ī sources apart from Sunni sources. Here the authors defined Ibāḍ īyyah through their own sources and did not evaluate the sect as a continuation of the Khārijiyyah. They emphasised that Ibāḍ īyyah managed to survive to the present day by distinguishing itself from the Khārijī thought. In studies conducted on sects, it is essential to examine sources comparatively to present objective data. Otherwise, such studies risk reflecting unscientific and biased results. For this reason, while analysing sects, it is crucial to include the definitions provided in their genuine sources. However, the fact that many works related to the Ibāḍ ī school have not survived to the present day -or that its political, theological, and jurisprudential views are not sufficiently recognised- has led to a distorted understanding of Ibāḍ īyyah based on inaccurate data. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of sects during the period leading up to their systematic development after their formation is another aspect that should not be overlooked. In this context, researchers should comprehensively analyse the unique views of Ibāḍ īyyah developed from its emergence to its systematic consolidation by conducting comparative readings of primary sources. In our study, we present a bibliography of research on Ibāḍ īyyah from the early years of the Turkish Republic to the present day and analyse the aforementioned approaches. Within this context, we identified and chronologically arranged the approaches of researchers in Islamic sciences literature who provide data about the Ibāḍ ī sect through a comprehensive literature review. As a result of this study, we have concluded that original academic studies primarily based on Ibāḍ ī sources remained limited and scarce for an extended period; however, in recent years, research in this field has shown a notable increase. We propose solutions to accelerate the research effort on Ibāḍīyyah and demonstrate the necessity of advanced studies on it for a further developed stage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Falih Rıfkı, who is considered among the most productive writers of Turkish literature, take part in many periodicals as leader writer and privilege holder. He sends articles to various magazines and newspapers as a guest writer. As a result of the alphabet change in the first years of the Republic of Turkiye, Atay's writing career, like many other names, is divided into two: old and new alphabet writing processes. While the author gives examples in almost every type of literature, he does not compile most of them into a book. For this reason, the majority of his literary writings with a highly fictional aspect remain in old lettered periodicals. In addition, many of the artist's writings that will contribute to his life story are included in his writings from this period. Since his writings are neglected in many studies, the artist is generally evaluated as onedimensional. And many of the criticisms about him are mistaken. Therefore, it is important to present the author's old written writings, which constitute a significant amount, in their entirety. In this study, general information will be given about Falih Rıfkı Atay's old lettered writings written in various newspapers, magazines and private collections, the relevant writings will be classified according to various literary genres and periodicals, and statistical information about the writings will be presented. In this way, the early periods and direction of Falih Rıfkı's writing career will be evaluated. Finally, a bibliography of the author's old lettered writings will be added at the end of the study to be useful to researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We report evidence of an undocumented method to manipulate citation counts involving "sneaked" references. Sneaked references are registered as metadata for published scientific articles in which they do not appear. This manipulation exploits trusted relationships between various actors: publishers, the Crossref metadata registration agency, digital libraries, and bibliometric platforms. By collecting metadata from various sources, we show that extra undue references are actually sneaked in at Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registration time, resulting in artificially inflated citation counts. As a case study, focusing on three journals from a given publisher, we identified at least 9% sneaked references (5978⁄65,836) mainly benefiting two authors. Despite not being present in the published articles, these sneaked references exist in metadata registries and inappropriately propagate to bibliometric dashboards. Furthermore, we discovered "lost" references: the studied bibliometric platform failed to index at least 56% (36,939/65,836) of the references present in the HTML version of the publications. This research led to an investigation by Crossref (confirming our findings) and to subsequent corrective actions. The extent of the distortion—due to sneaked and lost references—in the global literature remains unknown and requires further investigations. Bibliometric platforms producing citation counts should identify, quantify, and correct these flaws to provide accurate data to their patrons and prevent further citation gaming.

Chinese ancient book catalogs are important cultural heritage and academic resources for the study of ancient Chinese history and culture. These catalogs need to be curated so that their value can be fully exploited in today's digital environment. This study is based on a collaborative curation project where eight representative ancient catalogs were curated into a diachronic dataset and tools to discover and analyze the data were developed. We reviewed literature and consulted humanities scholars to derive the characteristics and curation requirements of the ancient catalogs. A collaborative model was proposed based on the requirements to guide the curation process. This model reveals the duality of humanities scholars' role in collaborative curation and depicts main curation activities including metadata and description, appraisal and selection, data processing, developing tools, access and use, and evolution. Lessons learned from the curation practice include two main issues—project personnel and humanities scholars' acceptance of visualization. The study also yields a dataset and a set of tools that can be directly used by scholars interested in knowledge organization and ancient catalog related topics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper presents the work-in-progress catalogue of old Hungarian books belonging to “Lucian Blaga” Central University Library of Cluj - Napoca (BCU Cluj): of this ongoing work, I present here the catalogue of the books printed between 1484-1630. The material is, therefore, organised chronologically, following the principles established in the first retrospective bibliography of old Hungarian books by Károly Szabó, the first librarian of the University Library in Cluj and of the Transylvanian Museum Society, whose (old) book collections are currently preserved at BCU Cluj, while for the copy-specific descriptions, I myself formulated a set of criteria. From the time span under scrutiny, I counted 425 titles in 522 volumes, a number which comprises the duplicates, but does not include all fragments of books – many of them still unidentified – that will be inserted in the catalogue after the processing of the entire collection of old Hungarian books. During the cataloguing process, I attached particular importance to provenance research. Beside the institutional provenance (Library of the Transylvanian Museum Society – University Library of Cluj), this also comprises previous book owners, since I consider that book history is inseparably connected to the history of their use, which can be uncovered only by identifying the former possessors. Such details bring significant contributions to intellectual history, revealing intellectual networks active in Transylvania between the 16th and the 19th centuries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we conducted a bibliometric and altmetric analysis of the top 100 most-cited articles on religion from 2010 to 2023. The data were sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection database. VOSviewer was utilized to create visualization knowledge maps such as co-authorship, co-citation, and keywords co-occurrence analysis, and the Spearman correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationships between the variables. The results indicate that these articles were published in 22 journals by 231 authors in 158 institutions across 24 countries. Most of the articles were published from the USA. Kenneth I. Pargament and Harold G. Koenig were identified as two of the most prominent scholars, while the Journal of Religion and Health and the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality emerged as the most productive and influential journals. The citations for these articles span a range of 45 to 828, whereas the altmetric attention scores (AAS) vary from 1 to 797. The Spearman correlation analysis revealed that the AAS is weakly positively correlated with the article influence score (AIS) ( r = 0.285 ) and weakly negatively correlated with the number of years since publication (NYsP) ( r = - 0.233 ), but is not significantly correlated with other bibliometric indicators; however, it is posited that the importance of the AAS may increase over time as the influence of social media continues to expand.

Religions shape the economic attitudes of their congregations. Thus, in a country where a particular faith dominates the economic ideas of that faith will significantly influence its economic growth and the health and well-being of its population. Using an extensive bibliographic review, this article analyses the economic impact of four major religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism) and studies the channels through which religion exerts its economic influence. Three key economic markers are correlated with religion, and results show significant differences in economic outcomes based on religion. In-depth analysis of the literature suggests that these differences have their roots not only in the specific beliefs of a given religion but also how its institutional structures foster elements essential to economic success such as trust.

As the only extant work of Fu Ge (賦格) from the Song Dynasty, Sheng Lu Guan Jian (聲律 關鍵) holds immense literary, historical, and bibliography research value. For a long time, scholars have believed that the book has only been handed down as a copy collected by Wan Wei Bie Cang (宛 委別藏) during the Qing dynasty Jiaqing (嘉慶) period, which has been photocopied and proofread multiple times while ignoring the earlier and textually superior handwritten copy collected by the Zhi Bu Zu Zhai (知不足齋) owned by Bao Tingbo (鮑廷博) in the Qing dynasty. After careful comparison between the two versions, it was found that the content of the Zhi Bu Zu Zhai version was more complete. Wan Wei Bie Cang version has 48 parts of the text that were intentionally omitted, 7 parts of the text were missing, a large number of markings have all been deleted, and 43 parts of the text were copied incorrectly. These are all complete and correct in Zhi Bu Zu Zhai version. In terms of completeness, accuracy, and reliability, the Zhi Bu Zu Zhai version is far superior to the Wan Wei Bie Cang version and is the best version of the book Sheng Lu Guan Jian. Based on its format, wording, and the contact between Bao Tingbo and Ruan Yuan (阮元), as well as their frequent interactions in the editing industry, it can be reasonably concluded that the Zhi Bu Zu Zhai version of Sheng Lu Guan Jian is the original copy of the Wan Wei Bie Cang version.

This article explores how "Western" mechanical printing figured prominently in the expansion of imperialists' interests in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Korea as both the main technological imperative and the hegemonic discourse. Negotiating and compromising with the native practices and deep history of print in Korea, the implantation of industrial printing fundamentally transformed the country's literary cultures and epistemology. All participants in this change—Christian missionaries, Japanese colonizers, and Korean intellectuals—contributed to the domination of typography that gave rise to the circulation of printed matter on an unprecedented scale, which brought about the wide usage of the easy Korean alphabet and expanded readership even by women and nonelites. The discourse centering on typography as the symbol of modernity and progress also led the imperialists to redefine and recategorize Korean antiquarian books. The practices and projects that developed, such as Japanese collectors' cannibalization of Korean books to put together imperial albums or binding Korean editions in Western styles, mirrored the colonial body politics that rendered the colonized inferior subjects in the material dimension. Typographic domination was vital to imperialists' expansion in Korea not simply because it helped disseminate their ideas to Korean readers but also because it subordinated Korean written culture to the one introduced by the imperialist powers. More important, the typographic domination engineered by Japanese colonialists became so naturalized as to continue and shape the field of bibliography in postcolonial Korea, in what can be best described as bibliographical monoculture.
