Substantial resources are invested in psychological support for children orphaned or otherwise made vulnerable in the context of HIV/AIDS (OVC).

BACKGROUND Unconditional and conditional cash transfer programmes (UCT and CCT) show potential to improve the well-being of orphans and other children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS (OVC). We address the gap in current understanding about the extent to which household-based cash transfers differentially impact individual children's outcomes, according to risk or protective factors such as orphan s...
One-third of the 4,225 protein-coding genes of Escherichia coli K-12 remain functionally unannotated (orphans).

The editors of IJE have commented on the surprising number of papers in their journal and other journals that fail to be cited even once. According to their most recent calculations, 17% of papers in IJE and 40% of those in Epidemiology achieve no recognition in the scientific literature. These numbers do not seem very plausible, so I decided to check. Using the most recent data available from ...
