We aimed to perform a scientometric analysis of research productivity in field of antioxidative hypoglycemic herbal medicine and diabetes. Methods: Some of search terms were “type 2 diabetes”, “antioxidant”, “herb”, “phytotherapy”, “ethnopharmacology”, “Chinese medicine”, “traditional medicine”, in Scopus web databases until January 2015, and limited to human. The collected data were used to generate the specific features such as publication year, main journal in the field, citation, subject area, and co-authorship network of authors and institutes. Data was analyzed using analysis tools provided by Scopus database, SPSS version 11 and VOSviewer software. Results: Overall, 468 studies were related to this topic in human. The number of publications in the field showed an increasing trend. Majority of the published papers were original articles (71 %) and the most productive year was 2013. Top subject areas were medicine followed by drug. The first productive country was the US. The documents were cited totally 10724 times with average citation/article 22.91, and h-index 55. The highest cited article was a systematic review study, and top source was “Journal of Ethnopharmacology”. The highest international collaboration was with the US. Top authors and institutes in the co-authorship network assessment were from Iran.

  • How to Write a Systematic Review Article and Meta-Analysis Lenka Čablová, Richard Pates, Michal Miovský and Jonathan Noel
    CHAPTER 9 How to Write a Systematic Review Article and Meta-Analysis Lenka Čablová, Richard Pates, Michal Miovský and Jonathan Noel Introduction In science, a review article refers to work that provides a comprehensive and systematic summary of results available in a given field while making it pos- sible to see the topic under consideration from a new perspective. Drawing on recent studies by other researchers, the authors of a review article make a critical analysis and summarize, appraise, and classify available data to offer a synthesis of the latest research in a specific subject area, ultimately arriving at new cumulative conclusions. According to Baumeister and Leary (1997), the goal of such synthesis may include (a) theory development, (b) theory evalu- ation, (c) a survey of the state of knowledge on a particular topic, (d) problem identification, and (e) provision of a historical account of the development of theory and research on a particular topic. A review can also be useful in science and practical life for many other reasons, such as in policy making (Bero & Jadad, 1997). Review articles have become necessary to advance addiction sci- ence, but providing a systematic summary of existing evidence while coming up with new ideas and pointing out the unique contribution of the work may pose the greatest challenge for inexperienced authors.

  • Bibliometric Analysis of the Scientific Production of the Information Architecture Related to Libraries
    Bibliometric Analysis of the Scientific Production of the Information Architecture Related to Libraries Vitor Taga Danielly Oliveira Inomata Caroline Rodrigues Vaz Mauricio Uriona Maldonado Gregório Varvakis Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - UFSC, Brasil ARTICLE Abstract Objective. Information architecture is a determinant guiding element for content layout and user navigation. This work aims at identifying and characterizing the scientific production about information architecture related to libraries. Method. In order to achieve the objective, a bibliometric review and a systemic analysis were conducted, the first to identify the most cited articles, the most productive authors in the field, the main journals; and the latter to characterize the debate and results presented in the articles. For the structured literature review, the Proknow-C method was utilized. The search was made in the Web of Science, Scopus and Science Direct databases. Results. One hundred fifteen articles were identified. Three peaks in the number of publications in 2001 (5), 2002 (6) and 2006 (4) were identified. Conclusions. The publications were concentrated in the Social Sciences and Computer Science. The main keywords (Digital libraries, Information architecture and World Wide Web) already contextualize and represent the content of the recovered articles. In relation to content analysis of the articles, a possible convergence in papers aimed towards studies of information architecture and digital libraries is discussed, which is very coherent with the current literature. We point out information architecture makes digital information environments better labelled and facilitates information access.

  • Publishing Review Articles Mark Wenman, Editor, Political Studies Review, University of Nottingham in Collaboration with Martin J
    Publishing Review Articles Mark Wenman, Editor, Political Studies Review, University of Nottingham in collaboration with Martin J. Smith, former Co-editor Political Studies, University of York © CC-BY-NC-ND http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Introduction In the mind of some people review articles are of lesser importance or quality than articles based 25 on primary research. This is an attitude that has been reinforced by the REF process, which has led to the perception that papers not based on primary research are of less value. However, we believe that this is a false view, and review articles make a valuable contribution to knowledge. Review articles, like other articles and books, are neither good nor bad in themselves, but depend on the quality of the article. Indeed, it is the case that the review articles are frequently the most cited publications. Some review articles can be magisterial in their sweep, and in the way that they analyse a field of research, and the best can define a new research agenda. Indeed, in the so-called hard sciences, a review article is often seen as a major contribution to the development of a particular scientific question by pulling together all the data on a research theme and thus providing an overview of where research in a particular area has reached. A good review article in politics and international studies can have a similar impact. The line between review articles and research articles can be blurred. A leading review article can build on the review to provide an original understanding of an issue, theme or approach in politics and international studies.
