Legal journal article database for researching cases

Background and methodology: The dataset consists of 5040 records of publication metadata (author, abstract, title, keywords, tags etc.), produced for the purposes of the systematic literature review in the framework of the SHAPE-ID project. In the course of the review Project team queried Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and JSTOR databases for records on interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity (IDR/TDR). In the case of WoS and Scopus, complex search strings were created to reflect the main research questions of the Literature Review: different understandings of IDR/TDR and factors and indicators of success or failure of integration of IDR/TDR in research and research policy. JSTOR database offers less advanced data-analytical tools, but the project team decided to include items that have interdisciplinarity or transdisciplinarity in the title, to counterbalance the reported biases against Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in Scopus and WoS. These three data sources were complemented with bibliographies prepared during the preliminary scoping analysis of IDR/TDR literature. The query results were compiled in reference managers Zotero and Endnote. During data processing the records were normalized and duplicates were removed. Based on systematic review, a sample of the literature had been selected for qualitative analysis. At the same time, the bibliographic metadata was analysed with computationally assisted quantitative methods. Description of the file: This is a csv file exported from the Zotero database, and formatted according to the Zotero metadata model. It contains a collection of 5040 bibliographic records compiled for the purpose of the SHAPE-ID Literature Review.

This is a nodes and edges list for abstract and indexing databases with an 'education' subject designation by the University of Cambridge library system. Several popular citation indexes (Web of Science and SCOPUS) along with a popular social sciences database (JSTOR) were also added to the dataset.

This dataset is comprised of 300 African American novels, essays, poems, autobiographies, slave narratives, and short stories. Inspired by Metacaon.org, a project that weights texts based primarily on the number of citations that works have received in scholarly journals. The dataset draws on five databases: JSTOR, Project Muse, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and the online archives for The New York Times archives to determine the scholarly significance of Black authored texts primarily by the number of times they are cited in scholarly contexts.

The aim of the scoping review is to map out evidence based research on the Covid-19 pandemic impact on the European cities. The review questions touch three broad areas of interest:

1. the aspects of urban life described and analysed in publications on the impact of the pandemic on cities
2. the aspects of urban life that are described in terms of crisis, breakdown, turnaround, etc. (crisis, disruption, slump, shift…) in such studies
3. theoretical and methodological approaches applied in such studies

The search was conducted in June 2022, with the final body of literature consisting of 3,994 publication references from EBSCOhost, APA Psyc, Scopus, Web of Science, Proquest, Wiley, Sage, JSTOR, Tailor&Francis, Oxford Journals databases (Fig. 1). The following English words were searched for in titles, abstracts and keywords in the databases: (pandemic OR ‘Covid-19’) AND (city OR cities OR urban*). We used the following criteria for articles to be included in the study: 1) peer and non-peer-reviewed empirical papers in journals published in English from January 2019 to June 2022; 2) included studies where the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on European city/cities was an explicit variable of interest; 3) contained analysis of empirical data on cities or urban life retrieved or collected within and explicitly addressing the COVID-19 pandemic; 4) addressed the social, cultural, economic, political and socio-geographical aspects of a city. We excluded from our sample papers that were: 1) theoretical and opinion literature, media press releases, reports, MA dissertations and PhD theses; 2) secondary research papers (reviews, meta-analyses); 3) papers not in English; 4) studies about non-European cities; 5) studies which do not explicitly address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cities; 6) studies addressing a city as a variable of secondary importance; 7) studies outside the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, published before December 2019; 8) studies not addressing the social or human aspects of urban life.

The final database of coded documents consisted of 138 empirical articles presenting findings on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on European cities.

Key Search Terms for PubMed Database.

Background and methodology:

The dataset consists of a list of 2202 journal titles represented in the SHAPE-ID Literature Review bibliography, prepared for the purposes of quantitative analysis.

The list of journals is based on 3955 journal articles in the bibliography dataset that had an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN). To each journal title the project team attributed:

• a weight factor based on how many articles from the given journal featured in bibliography dataset

• at least one All Science Journal Classification (ASJC) code, representing different scientific disciplines

• a country of publication.

In case of 1853 of those journal titles, the attribution was automatised (we matched the ISSNs of journal titles in our sample against the Scopus Sources list from February 2019). In case of the remaining 349 titles the attribution was accomplished manually, based on the information available in SCOPUS, Web of Science, JSTOR, Information Matrix for the Analysis of Journals (MIAR) and ISSN databases.

BackgroundVoluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) is a critical HIV prevention tool. Since 2007, sub-Saharan African countries with the highest prevalence of HIV have been mobilizing resources to make VMMC available. While implementers initially targeted adult men, demand has been highest for boys under age 18. It is important to understand how male adolescents can best be served by quality VMMC services.Methods and FindingsA systematic literature review was performed to synthesize the evidence on best practices in adolescent health service delivery specific to males in sub-Saharan Africa. PubMed, Scopus, and JSTOR databases were searched for literature published between January 1990 and March 2014. The review revealed a general absence of health services addressing the specific needs of male adolescents, resulting in knowledge gaps that could diminish the benefits of VMMC programming for this population. Articles focused specifically on VMMC contained little information on the adolescent subgroup. The review revealed barriers to and gaps in sexual and reproductive health and VMMC service provision to adolescents, including structural factors, imposed feelings of shame, endorsement of traditional gender roles, negative interactions with providers, violations of privacy, fear of pain associated with the VMMC procedure, and a desire for elements of traditional non-medical circumcision methods to be integrated into medical procedures. Factors linked to effective adolescent-focused services included the engagement of parents and the community, an adolescent-friendly service environment, and VMMC counseling messages sufficiently understood by young males.ConclusionsVMMC presents an opportune time for early involvement of male adolescents in HIV prevention and sexual and reproductive health programming. However, more research is needed to determine how to align VMMC services with the unique needs of this population.

Occurrences data survey

Occurrence points were obtained by extensively searching the Google Scholar and Scopus databases for literature reporting information on its appearance, as well as reports about the interaction of this species with animal or fungi species. Specimens deposited in FACEN, FCQ, PY (Paraguay), and UNR (Argentina) herbaria, and other specimens available in digital databases (GBIF, 2019; Tropicos, 2019; Flora do Brasil, 2019), as well as journal datasets (Ramos et al., 2019), were also explored. JStor Global Plants (JSTOR, 2019) and ‘Flora del Conosur’ (Zuloaga & Belgrano, 2019) websites were consulted to check types or synonyms. Given that most occurrences and literature citations mentioned only the species name ‘Aechmea distichantha’, for the present analysis we did not make any distinction between infraspecific taxa.

As there could be many sources of potential errors when using large online datasets (Maldonado et al., 2015; Zizka et al., 2019, Zizka et al., 202...

Globally, most previous studies revealed low quality of life (QoL) in individuals with infertility which is seriously worsened in females, and in individuals with lower educational status, younger age, and idiopathic cause of infertility. This study aimed to objectively review the Neuman Systems Model (NSM) and QoL in individuals with infertility. Current literatures from different databases including Scopus, Web of Science, JSTOR, MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Google Scholar, etc. on the topic were searched online and reviewed. This objective review centered on the physical health, psychological health, social health, and environmental health of individuals with infertility. The Neuman Systems Model revealed that individuals (clients) are exposed to different stressors. Clients have flexible lines of defense, normal lines of defense, lines of resistance, and a basic structure (central core) – all of which serve to protect the individual (client) from stressors e.g. infertility. Healthcare providers should create more awareness on infertility at the local community levels. This will help correct cultures, and beliefs that stigmatize individuals with infertility. In addition, men with infertility should be encouraged to attend fertility clinics.

BackgroundIn Africa, where the burden of diseases is disproportionately high, significant challenges arise from a shortage of skilled researchers, lack of research funding, and limited mentorship opportunities. The continent faces a substantial gap in research output largely attributed to the dearth of mentorship opportunities for early career researchers.ObjectiveTo explore existing mentorship approaches, identify challenges, gaps, successes, and benefits, and provide insights for strengthening mentorship programs in African health research institutions.MethodsWe registered the review protocol on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews [CRD42021285018] and searched six electronic databases–EMBASE, AJOL, Web of Science, PubMed, DOAJ, and JSTOR from inception to 10 November 2023, for studies published in English reporting on approaches of mentorship in health research in African countries. We also searched grey literature repositories, institutional websites, and reference lists of included studies for additional literature. Two independent reviewers conducted screening of titles and abstracts of identified studies, full-text screening, assessment of methodological quality, and data extraction. We assessed study quality against the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). We resolved any disagreements through discussion and consensus. We employed a narrative approach to synthesize the findings.ResultsWe retrieved 1799 articles and after screening, included 21 studies in the review. The reviewers identified 20 mentorship programs for health researchers (N = 1198) in 12 African countries mostly focusing on early-career researchers and junior faculty members. A few included mid-career and senior researchers.We categorized the programs under three key mentoring approaches: international collaborative programs, regional and in-country collaborations, and specialized capacity-building initiatives. Our review highlighted the following successes and benefits of health research mentorship programs: the establishment of collaborations and partnerships, development of research programs and capacities, improvement of individual skills and confidence, increased publications, and successful grant applications. The gaps identified were limited funding, lack of a mentorship culture, negative attitudes towards research careers, and lack of prioritization of research mentorship.ConclusionOur review highlights a diverse landscape of health research mentorship aspects predominantly targeting early career researchers and heavily driven by the North. There is a need for locally driven mentorship initiatives in Africa to strengthen mentorship to advance health research in the region.Trial registrationPROSPERO registration number: CRD42021285018.

The transition from analog to digital archives and the recent explosion of online content offers researchers novel ways of engaging with data. The crucial question for ensuring a balance between the supply and demand-side of data, is whether this trend connects to existing scholarly practices and to the average search skills of researchers. To gain insight into this process a survey was conducted among nearly three hundred (N= 288) humanities scholars in the Netherlands and Belgium with the aim of finding answers to the following questions: 1) To what extent are digital databases and archives used? 2) What are the preferences in search functionalities 3) Are there differences in search strategies between novices and experts of information retrieval? Our results show that while scholars actively engage in research online they mainly search for text and images. General search systems such as Google and JSTOR are predominant, while large-scale collections such as Europeana are rarely consulted. Searching with keywords is the dominant search strategy and advanced search options are rarely used. When comparing novice and more experienced searchers, the first tend to have a more narrow selection of search engines, and mostly use keywords. Our overall findings indicate that Google is the key player among available search engines. This dominant use illustrates the paradoxical attitude of scholars toward Google: while transparency of provenance and selection are deemed key academic requirements, the workings of the Google algorithm remain unclear. We conclude that Google introduces a black box into digital scholarly practices, indicating scholars will become increasingly dependent on such black boxed algorithms. This calls for a reconsideration of the academic principles of provenance and context.
