  • Quantitative Portrait of Open Access Mega-Journals
    Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science, Vol. 24, no.2, August 2019: 115-131 Quantitative portrait of open access mega-journals Mohammadamin Erfanmanesh Department of Library and Information Science Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Nowadays, Open Access Mega-Journals (OAMJs) represent a substantial part of the scholarly communication system. The current research is conducted with the aim of providing better insights into the increasingly important OAMJ phenomenon through investigation of eight reputable titles using established bibliometric methods. Results of the study showed that eight studied OAMJs were responsible for 1.87% of the total number of publication indexed in Web of Science during 2012-2016. Despite the decline in publication count of PLOS ONE over the past couple of years, it was the biggest journal in the world till 2017, when Scientific Reports overtook PLOS ONE as the most productive journal. Over 88% of the papers published in eight selected OAMJs were cited at-least once at the point in time of analysis. The highest proportions of cited and un-cited documents were seen in Scientific Reports and SpringerPlus, respectively. With regard to the three indicators, namely share of highly- cited papers, the category normalized citation impact as well as the JIF percentile, IEEE Access had by far the best performance among eight examined OAMJs. Results of the study revealed that Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Multidisciplinary Sciences, Neurosciences, Oncology and Immunology were the most commonly assigned subject categories to OAMJs’ content.

  • Sir Hans Kornberg, FRS
    Sir Hans Kornberg, FRS Hans Kornberg was born in Germany in 1928 to Jewish parents. Following the advent of Hitler, the life of the family became increasingly dangerous and in 1939 Hans was sent to live with an uncle in England. Hans was educated at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Wakefield and left at 17 to work as a laboratory assistant at the University of Sheffield under the supervision of Hans Krebs. The latter encouraged him to study further, which led to a degree in Chemistry and a PhD in Biochemistry at Sheffield where Hans carried out ground-breaking work on urea metabolism. Postdoctoral work encompassed a period in America on a Harkness Fellowship, followed by a very productive few years at the MRC Metabolism Research Unit at Oxford during which he and Krebs (by now Sir Hans Krebs and a Nobel Laureate) elucidated the glyoxylate cycle, an important process in bacterial metabolism. In 1960 Hans was appointed to a Chair at the University of Leicester with the remit to set up a new Department of Biochemistry. In July 1961 Hans and several colleagues set off from Oxford to visit the Department for the first time. Having lunched well en route, it was late afternoon by the time they arrived in Leicester. As it was during the long vacation the University was closed and they were forced to enter the Department, which in those days was located in the Fielding Johnson Building, via an open toilet window. Hans’ first year as Professor was largely taken up with appointing staff and converting the old chemistry teaching laboratories into accommodation suitable for biochemistry research and teaching.
