A comparison between domestic and international publications in Brazilian psychiatry

This article assesses the Brazilian psychiatric production and compares the numbers of articles published between 1981 and 1995 in Brazilian domestic journals and published in international journals. From the total number of articles analyzed, 87.2% were published in domestic journals. These probably will never reach the international scientific community. From the articles published in Brazil, 56.8% were review and opinion articles, while from the articles published in international journals, 69.8% were research articles. Publications in both Brazilian and international journals included few prospective research studies and research reports dealing with bipolar disorder and cocaine use. On the other hand, alcohol use disorder and major depressive disorder were the most commonly studied clinical fields published both in domestic and in international psychiatric journals.

Abstract

This paper is a chronological survey of published work in the field of pharmaceutical fluidised-bed granulation. It begins with early experiments in the 1960s and continues to include all relevant published work up to 1990. To aid the reader find published material for further in-depth reading a cross reference to published articles on a subject basis is provided in tabular form.     

Citation patterns of Korean physicists and mechanical engineers: Differences by type of publication source and type of authorship

By comparing the citation patterns of Korean researchers in physics and mechanical engineering, this study identifies the extent to which type of publication source (Korean non-SCI, Korean SCI, and international SCI) and type of authorship (purely Korean authors, Korean-foreign co-authors, and foreign-Korean co-authors) influence the choice of sources cited by Korean scientists. Koreans publishing physics or mechanical engineering papers in international SCI journals are more likely to cite articles published in journals of the science mainstream countries (the U.S., the U.K., the Netherlands, and Germany) than articles published in national journals, while Koreans publishing in Korean journals tend to cite articles published in national journals. In terms of authorship, articles published in mainstream journals are more highly cited by internationally co-authored papers than Korean-authored papers in both disciplines.

Statistical analysis of astronomical papers of China during 1986–1990

We present the distribution of astronomical papers published by Chinese authors in 1986–1990 across the various subfields of astronomy, the total number of papers produced by each observatory or university during the five years, and the ranking of the observatories by productivity. Our main data base includes 24 journals: 9 foreign ones published in English, 10 Chinese national ones, and 5 Chinese observatory publications. About 70 journals published by Chinese universities have also been consulted. This data base covers up to 90% of all astronomical papers published during this period.     

Applicability of published data for fatigue‐limited design

The use of published fatigue data provides an expedient basis for fatigue‐limited engineering design by alleviating the necessity of explicit testing. However, published fatigue data often exhibits incomplete documentation of the associated test conditions. Incomplete documentation introduces uncertainties in fatigue life prediction that may limit the applicability of the published fatigue data for design applications. Characterization of the applicability of published fatigue data is critical for robust fatigue‐limited design. However, no quantitative methods have been identified which respond to this requirement. A novel method has been developed to provide a systematic characterization of the applicability of published fatigue data based on internationally recognized standards. This method provides a conceptual mechanism to:

• identify the applicability of published fatigue test data for specific design scenarios—thereby informing engineers of potential limitations of published data and allowing prioritization of multiple data sources;
• identify material domains of insufficient applicability—thereby providing a robust basis for identifying beneficial fatigue test programs;
• compromise between design complexity and the uncertainties inherent in fatigue life prediction;
• define a framework for the appropriate documentation of published fatigue data.

A sample of published fatigue data sources associated with a specific fatigue‐limited safety–critical design scenario was assessed by the method presented in this paper. For the majority of the sampled references, the associated documentation was insufficient to allow the fatigue test data to be confidently applied to the subsequent design activity.
