Objective: To determine the top 100-ranked (by impact factor) clinical journals' policies toward publishing research previously published on preprint servers (preprints).

Design: Cross sectional. Main outcome measures: Editorial guidelines toward preprints, journal rank by impact factor.

Results: 86 (86%) of the journals examined will consider papers previously published as preprints (preprints), 13 (13%) determine their decision on a case-by-case basis, and 1 (1%) does not allow preprints.

Conclusions: We found wide acceptance of publishing preprints in the clinical research community, although researchers may still face uncertainty that their preprints will be accepted by all of their target journals.

Methods We examined journal policies of the 100 top-ranked clinical journals using the 2018 impact factors as reported by InCites Journal Citation Reports (JCR). First, we examined all journals with an impact factor greater than 5, and then we manually screened by title and category do identify the first 100 clinical journals. We included only those that publish original research. Next, we checked each journal's editorial policy on preprints. We examined, in order, the journal website, the publisher website, the Transpose Database, and the first 10 pages of a Google search with the journal name and the term "preprint." We classified each journal's policy, as shown in this dataset, as allowing preprints, determining based on preprint status on a case-by-case basis, and not allowing any preprints. We collected data on April 23, 2020.

The journals’ author guidelines and/or editorial policies were examined on whether they take a stance with regard to the availability of the underlying data of the submitted article. The mere explicated possibility of providing supplementary material along with the submitted article was not considered as a research data policy in the present study. Furthermore, the present article excluded source codes or algorithms from the scope of the paper and thus policies related to them are not included in the analysis of the present article.

For selection of journals within the field of neurosciences, Clarivate Analytics’ InCites Journal Citation Reports database was searched using categories of neurosciences and neuroimaging. From the results, journals with the 40 highest Impact Factor (for the year 2017) indicators were extracted for scrutiny of research data policies. Respectively, the selection journals within the field of physics was created by performing a similar search with the categories of physics, applied; physics, atomic, molecular & chemical; physics, condensed matter; physics, fluids & plasmas; physics, mathematical; physics, multidisciplinary; physics, nuclear and physics, particles & fields. From the results, journals with the 40 highest Impact Factor indicators were again extracted for scrutiny. Similarly, the 40 journals representing the field of operations research were extracted by using the search category of operations research and management.

Journal-specific data policies were sought from journal specific websites providing journal specific author guidelines or editorial policies. Within the present study, the examination of journal data policies was done in May 2019. The primary data source was journal-specific author guidelines. If journal guidelines explicitly linked to the publisher’s general policy with regard to research data, these were used in the analyses of the present article. If journal-specific research data policy, or lack of, was inconsistent with the publisher’s general policies, the journal-specific policies and guidelines were prioritized and used in the present article’s data. If journals’ author guidelines were not openly available online due to, e.g., accepting submissions on an invite-only basis, the journal was not included in the data of the present article. Also journals that exclusively publish review articles were excluded and replaced with the journal having the next highest Impact Factor indicator so that each set representing the three field of sciences consisted of 40 journals. The final data thus consisted of 120 journals in total.

‘Public deposition’ refers to a scenario where researcher deposits data to a public repository and thus gives the administrative role of the data to the receiving repository. ‘Scientific sharing’ refers to a scenario where researcher administers his or her data locally and by request provides it to interested reader. Note that none of the journals examined in the present article required that all data types underlying a submitted work should be deposited into a public data repositories. However, some journals required public deposition of data of specific types. Within the journal research data policies examined in the present article, these data types are well presented by the Springer Nature policy on “Availability of data, materials, code and protocols” (Springer Nature, 2018), that is, DNA and RNA data; protein sequences and DNA and RNA sequencing data; genetic polymorphisms data; linked phenotype and genotype data; gene expression microarray data; proteomics data; macromolecular structures and crystallographic data for small molecules. Furthermore, the registration of clinical trials in a public repository was also considered as a data type in this study. The term specific data types used in the custom coding framework of the present study thus refers to both life sciences data and public registration of clinical trials. These data types have community-endorsed public repositories where deposition was most often mandated within the journals’ research data policies.

The term ‘location’ refers to whether the journal’s data policy provides suggestions or requirements for the repositories or services used to share the underlying data of the submitted works. A mere general reference to ‘public repositories’ was not considered a location suggestion, but only references to individual repositories and services. The category of ‘immediate release of data’ examines whether the journals’ research data policy addresses the timing of publication of the underlying data of submitted works. Note that even though the journals may only encourage public deposition of the data, the editorial processes could be set up so that it leads to either publication of the research data or the research data metadata in conjunction to publishing of the submitted work.

Raw data belonged to the study of use and sharing of raw research data in the Journal Citation Reports' Emergency Medicine Category.

BackgroundAnesthesiology research is growing at a rapid pace. It is essential to understand the scope and trends over time to identify gaps and future areas for growth. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMA) are summaries of the best available evidence to address a specific research question via a comprehensive literature search, in-depth analyses, and synthesis of results. High-quality SRMA are increasingly used and play an essential role in medical research.ObjectiveWe aimed to explore the trends of SRMA in indexed anesthesia journals.MethodsSRMA published in indexed anesthesia journals from 2013 to 2023 were retrieved from the Web of Science database. Data were presented via descriptive statistics. We used CiteSpace 6.1.R6 to analyze countries, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords through visual maps to explore the research hotspots and trends. The journal’s Journal Citation Reports partition, impact factor, annual publications, journals H-index, and a number of highly-cited papers were calculated in the WoS database.ResultsA total of 34 indexed anesthesia journals and 3,004 SRMA were included. The year 2021 was the year with the most SRMA (385/3,004). Out of the 3,004 SRMAs, 36 (0.03%) were highly cited papers, and 22 of the 36 highly cited papers focused on “pain management.” BRITISH JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIA had the highest 5-year impact factor (9.6) in 2022 Journal Citation Reports, the most significant number of publications (268/3,004), the highest total number of citations (13,173/86,145), and the most significant number of SRMAs cited more than 100 (36/160). ANAESTHESIA achieved the highest impact factor in the 2022 Journal Citation Reports (10.7) and the highest average annual citations (58.82). PAIN had the highest number of highly cited papers (15/36). The United States of America was the most productive country, with 823/3,004 SRMAs. University Toronto had the highest number of publications (245/3,004). The most frequent of keywords was the topic “Pain Management” (1,622/29.1%).ConclusionThis present study would be valuable to practitioners, academics, researchers, and students in understanding the dynamics of progress in anesthesiology.

Journal of Business Ethics Impact Factor 2024-2025 - ResearchHelpDesk - The Journal of Business Ethics publishes only original articles from a wide variety of methodological and disciplinary perspectives concerning ethical issues related to business that bring something new or unique to the discourse in their field. Since its initiation in 1980, the editors have encouraged the broadest possible scope. The term business' is understood in a wide sense to include all systems involved in the exchange of goods and services, whileethics' is circumscribed as all human action aimed at securing a good life. Systems of production, consumption, marketing, advertising, social and economic accounting, labor relations, public relations, and organizational behavior are analyzed from a moral viewpoint. The style and level of dialogue involve all who are interested in business ethics - the business community, universities, government agencies, and consumer groups. Speculative philosophy as well as reports of empirical research are welcomed. In order to promote a dialogue between the various interested groups as much as possible, papers are presented in a style relatively free of specialist jargon.

Research data to accommodate the article "Overlay journals: a study of the current landscape" (https://doi.org/10.1177/09610006221125208)

Identifying the sample of overlay journals was an explorative process (occurring during April 2021 to February 2022). The sample of investigated overlay journals were identified by using the websites of Episciences.org (2021), Scholastica (2021), Free Journal Network (2021), Open Journals (2021), PubPub (2022), and Wikipedia (2021). In total, this study identified 34 overlay journals. Please see the paper for more details about the excluded journal types.

The journal ISSN numbers, manuscript source repositories, first overlay volumes, article volumes, publication languages, peer-review type, licence for published articles, author costs, publisher types, submission policy, and preprint availability policy were observed by inspecting journal editorial policies and submission guidelines found from journal websites. The overlay journals’ ISSN numbers were identified by examining journal websites and cross-checking this information with the Ulrich’s periodicals database (Ulrichsweb, 2021). Journals that published review reports, either with reviewers’ names or anonymously, were classified as operating with open peer-review. Publisher types defined by Laakso and Björk (2013) were used to categorise the findings concerning the publishers. If the journal website did not include publisher information, the editorial board was interpreted to publish the journal.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) field of science classification was used to categorise the journals into different domains of science. The journals’ primary OECD field of sciences were defined by the authors through examining the journal websites.

Whether the journals were indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Scopus, or Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science Core collection’s journal master list was examined by searching the services with journal ISSN numbers and journal titles.

The identified overlay journals were examined from the viewpoint of both qualitative and quantitative journal metrics. The qualitative metrics comprised the Nordic expert panel rankings of scientific journals, namely the Finnish Publication Forum, the Danish Bibliometric Research Indicator and the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers. Searches were conducted from the web portals of the above services with both ISSN numbers and journal titles. Clarivate Analytics’ Journal Citation Reports database was searched with the use of both ISSN numbers and journal titles to identify whether the journals had a Journal Citation Indicator (JCI), Two-Year Impact Factor (IF) and an Impact Factor ranking (IF rank). The examined Journal Impact Factors and Impact Factor rankings were for the year 2020 (as released in 2021).

Fundamental changes in the way scientific research is disseminated have inspired the concept of altmetrics, most prominently the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS). The exact relation between the latter and traditional measures of science reception (e.g. citation count) is unknown. In this study, we determined citation counts and AAS as well as the ratio between the two (AAS-to-citation ratio) in 138,339 original research and review articles from 86 neurological journals between 2012 and 2021. The journal impact factor was closely correlated with both citation count (rs = 0.73) and AAS (rs = 0.64), whereas it showed a negative association with the AAS-to-citation ratio (rs = −0.26). Reviews accumulated more citations and a higher AAS than original research, while their AAS-to-citation ratio was significantly lower. Citation count was the only metric significantly associated with the number of publications by country (rs = 0.65). There were notable differences between major neurological subspecialties, with Alzheimer’s disease the article topic having the highest average citation count, AAS, and AAS-to-citation ratio. Our findings suggest that the career of a neurological paper in the academic and public sphere is determined by various and sometimes specific factors. Methods To gain a representative overview of the research in neurology during the decade of interest, we took the top 20 neurology journals by h5 index11 listed on Google Scholar and combined them with the top 50 neurology and clinical neurology journals according to the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) (https://www.scimagojr.com). Only journals with at least 100 citable documents (i.e. original research or reviews) over the period of interest were considered to avoid potential bias by outliers. Any duplicates were removed. In total, 86 journals were chosen for further analyses. The Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection was used for the identification of articles to be included. Every document from the 86 journals listed as either ‘Article’ or ‘Review’ with a final publication year between 2012 and 2021 was included in the analysis. This timeframe was selected with two reasons in mind: First, the company Altmetric (and with it the AAS) was founded in 2011, so 2012 constitutes the earliest year with full coverage. Second, since the data collection took place in late 2022, the year 2021 was fully covered in the databases and article citations/online dissemination had already been given some time to accumulate. Citation counts and other metadata for each document were retrieved from the WoS Core Collection database. Impact factors for each journal were retrieved through Clarivate’s Journal Citation Reports (2021 being the most recent data available).AAS data were obtained through the Altmetric API using the documents’ unique Digital Object Identifier. All data were collected between the 13th and 15th of November, 2022.

The availability of research data sets is an important milestone since it can enhance the dynamics of research. This study aims to analyze the PubMed Central repository to determine the availability and type of raw data sets in Cell & Tissue Engineering journals indexed in the Journal Citation Reports. The number and types of files were registered. A search of the 21 journals from the Cell & Tissue Engineering category of the 2015 Journal Citation Reports was conducted. Information was collected from October to December 2016. A study of the supplementary material of the original articles published between 2011-2015 was performed through a search in the PubMed Central repository, which is the most used free full-text repository in biomedicine. Only articles with supplementary material were retrieved. The number and types of files were registered. In cases where a compressed file, such as a .zip or .rar file, was found, it was opened to check what kinds of files it contained.
