BACKGROUND Local and regional scientific journals are important factors in bridging gaps in health knowledge translation in low-and middle-income countries. We assessed indexing, citations and publishing standards of journals from the Eastern Mediterranean region. METHODS For journals from 22 countries in the collection of the Index Medicus for the Eastern Mediterranean Region (IMEMR), we ana...

The purpose of this study is to explore the metrics comparison between Impact Factor (IF) and SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) for journals indexed in both Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. The study analyses five engineering education journals and seven educational technology journals, which are indexed in both WoS and Scopus. The analysis dates are limited to 2010 through 2011. The results...

objective(s): citation tracking is an important method to analyze the scientific impact of journal articles and can be done through scopus (sc), google scholar (gs), or isi web of knowledge (wos). in the current study, we analyzed the citations to 2011-2012 articles of iranian journal of basic medical sciences (ijbms) in these three resources.   material and methods: the relevant data from sc, ...

In order to prevent the occurrence of gastric cancer, it is very important to find early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions timely. This research discussed diagnostic value of methylene blue staining under white light endoscopy, light blue crest (LBC) and white opaque substance (WOS) under NBI-ME on chronic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia. 227 patients who accepted gastroscopy in our ...

Under the endoscopic observation with magnification endoscopy and narrow-band imaging, one of the novel findings in gastric neoplasms is white opaque substance (WOS), which is a manifestation of intracellular accumulation of lipid droplets. To elucidate the significance of this WOS formation, detailed lipid metabolism should be understood in gastric membranes. Recently, expression profiles of l...

In understanding the etiology of breast cancer, the contributions of both genetic and environmental risk factors are further complicated by the impact of breast developmental stage. Specifically, the time period ranging from childhood to young adulthood represents a critical developmental window in a woman's life when she is more susceptible to environmental hazards that may affect future breas...

OBJECTIVES A bibliometric analysis of the UK National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment (HTA) monographs and their related journal articles by: (1) exploring the differences in citations to the HTA monographs in Google Scholar (GS), Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), and (2) comparing Scopus citations to the monographs with their related journal articles. SETTING...

This paper introduces a novel, data{adaptive ltering framework: aane order{statistic lters. AAne order{statistic lters operate eeectively on a wide range of signal statistics, are sensitive to the dispersion of the observed data, and are therefore particularly useful in the processing of nonstationary signals. These properties result from the introduction of a tunable aanity function that measu...

This study deals with the analysis of cited references in Web of Science (WoS) to e-prints on arXiv. Created in 1991, arXiv accelerated the scholarly communication and developed into a well-established e-print repository that functions as an essential access point to the latest research in physics, astrophysics, mathematics, computer science and related fields. Authors evidently rely on arXiv f...
