Scholarly communication plays a significant role in the development and dissemination of research outputs in library and information science (LIS). This study presents findings from a survey which examines the key attributes that characterize the publishing by Pakistani LIS scholars, i.e. academics and professionals, in national journals. A pilot-tested, electronic questionnaire was used to collect the data from the target population. 104 respondents (or 69.3% of target) provided feedback on areas such as number of articles published, number of citations, and the nature of any collaboration with other authors. The findings of this survey revealed that, among the various designated regions of Pakistan, the Punjab region was the most highly represented. In articles published in national journals, there was a clear preference among all respondents to collaborate with at least one other author. The citation metrics for LIS articles in national journals were relatively low (30.22%), which aligns with Scimago’s Journal and Country Rankings. The uptake of social scholarly networks mirrors international trends. Respondents were asked to score factors which could impact negatively on their ability to undertake research and/or publish the results. The study recommends that concerned stakeholders work together, as appropriate, to address concerns. In addition, it recommends that further research be undertaken to define patterns of Pakistani co-authorship in the social sciences.
学术交流在图书馆情报学研究成果的发展和传播中起着重要作用。本研究提出了一项调查的结果,该调查调查了巴基斯坦LIS学者(即学者和专业人士)在国家期刊上发表文章的关键属性。一份经过试点测试的电子问卷用于从目标人群中收集数据。104名受访者(占目标的69.3%)就发表文章数量、被引用次数以及与其他作者合作的性质等方面提供了反馈。这项调查的结果显示,在巴基斯坦各指定区域中,旁遮普区的代表人数最多。在国家期刊上发表的文章中,所有受访者都明显倾向于与至少一位其他作者合作。美国文章在国家级期刊上的引用指标相对较低(30.22%),这与Scimago的期刊和国家排名一致。社会学术网络的兴起反映了国际趋势。受访者被要求对可能对他们进行研究和/或发表结果的能力产生负面影响的因素进行评分。该研究建议,相关利益攸关方应酌情共同努力,解决关切问题。此外,它还建议进行进一步研究,以确定巴基斯坦在社会科学领域的共同作者模式。

Given the difference in research performance in various scientific fields, this study aims to weight and valuate current indicators used for evaluation of scientific productions (publications), in order to adjust these indicators in comparison to each other and make possible a more precise evaluation of scientific productions. This is a scientometrics study using documentary, evaluative, and survey techniques. The statistical population consisted of 106 top Iranian researchers, scientists, and scientific and research managers. Then their research resume information was gathered and analyzed based on research questions. In order to compare values, the data gathered from research production performance of the population was weighted using Shannon entropy method. Also, the weights of each scientific production importance according to expert opinions (extracted from other works) was analyzed and after adjustment the final weight of each scientific production was determined. A pairwise matrix was used in order to determine the ratios. According to the results, in the area of engineering sciences, patents (0.142) in the area of science, international articles (0.074) in the area of humanities and social sciences, books (0.174), and in the area of medical sciences, international articles (0.111) had the highest weight compared to other information formats. By dividing the weights for each type of publication, the value of each scientific production compared to other scientific productions in the same field and productions of other fields was calculated. Validation of the results in the studied population resulted in very high credibility for all investigated indicators in all four fields. By using these values and normalized ratios of publication indicators it is possible to achieve precise and adjusted results, making it possible to feasibly use these results in realistic policy making.
鉴于各个科学领域的研究绩效存在差异,本研究旨在对目前用于科学成果(出版物)评价的指标进行加权和评价,以便在相互比较中调整这些指标,从而更准确地评价科学成果。这是一项科学计量学研究,使用文献、评估和调查技术。统计人口包括106名伊朗顶级研究人员、科学家和科研管理人员。然后收集他们的研究简历信息,并根据研究问题进行分析。为了进行数值比较,采用香农熵法对种群的研究生产绩效数据进行加权。并根据专家意见(摘自其他著作)对各科学成果重要性权重进行分析,调整后确定各科学成果的最终权重。为了确定比率,使用了一对矩阵。结果显示,与其他信息格式相比,工程科学领域的专利(0.142),人文社会科学领域的国际文章(0.074),书籍(0.174),医学科学领域的国际文章(0.111)的权重最高。通过除以每种出版物的权重,计算出每种科学成果与同一领域的其他科学成果和其他领域的成果相比的价值。在研究人群中验证结果导致所有四个领域的所有调查指标具有非常高的可信度。通过使用这些数值和出版物指标的标准化比率,可以获得精确和调整的结果,从而可以在现实的政策制定中可行地使用这些结果。

What government does/fails to do is conveyed to the public largely by records and information of various types in the public service, without which there will be no government. When records are poorly managed, much time is involved in sorting and locating needed information from large volumes of records. The rate of records misplaced or lost from which useful information for decision making is usually obtained makes it difficult to provide concise and up-to-date records of both past and present operations, raising the challenge of effective record-keeping. Thus this study examined records management practices in selected local government councils in Ogun State, Nigeria, adopting the descriptive survey research method using questionnaires for data collection. Its population comprised 415 records of personnel in the selected councils, of which 208 were sampled using simple random technique. From the 208 copies of the questionnaire administered on the registry personnel, 150 copies were useable, with a 72.12% response rate. Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis. The results indicated a prevalence of paper as the dominant medium for recording/conveying information in the councils with most of these being either in active state, semi-active, and vital and were kept and maintained in the registry, while in-active records were kept in the records store. Storage facilities for record-keeping were insufficient. Security measures against unauthorized access to records were by restrictions and subject users to managerial clearance. The study concluded that council records were in chaos and recommended the formulation of coherent records management policy, adequate budgetary provision, and adequate finance.
政府做什么或没做什么,主要是通过公共服务中的各种记录和信息向公众传达的,没有这些记录和信息,就没有政府。当记录管理不善时,从大量记录中排序和定位所需信息需要花费大量时间。通常用来获取决策有用资料的记录经常被放错地方或丢失,这使得很难提供过去和现在业务的简明和最新记录,从而提出了有效保存记录的挑战。因此,本研究审查了尼日利亚奥贡州选定的地方政府理事会的记录管理做法,采用使用问卷调查的描述性调查研究方法进行数据收集。其人口包括415个选定理事会的工作人员记录,其中208个是使用简单随机技术抽样的。在对登记处人员发放的208份问卷中,有150份可用,回复率为72.12%。采用描述性统计进行分析。结果表明,纸张作为记录/传递信息的主要媒介在理事会中普遍存在,其中大多数处于活动状态、半活动状态和重要状态,并保存在登记处,而非活动记录保存在记录存储库中。保存记录的储存设施不足。防止未经授权访问记录的安全措施是通过限制和使用户获得管理许可。这项研究的结论是,议会的记录是混乱的,并建议制定连贯的记录管理政策,充足的预算拨款和充足的资金。

Facebook has been a part of our lives for the last decade. For a company started in 2004 to have penetrated the lives of people across the globe is commendable. The perpetuation of Facebook has led to a phenomena called Facebook Addiction Disorder. Companies are using Facebook to promote their business and people are using it to promote themselves, in addition to staying connected. In this paper, an effort is made to study respondents from India and the United States of America in order to gauge their dependence on Facebook, and a comparative view of it is presented.

The study tested a hybrid model with constructs drawn from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory in order to examine the moderating effect of productivity and relative advantage (RA) on perceived usefulness (PU) vis-a-vis electronic information resources (EIR) adoption in private university libraries in Ogun and Osun States of Nigeria. The descriptive research design was adopted in the study. The population consisted of 61 (55.0%) librarians and 50 (45.0%) library officers (totaling 116—100%) in Babcock University, Bells University, Covenant University, Bowen University, Oduduwa University, and Redeemer’s University. Purposive sampling procedure was adopted after which total enumeration was used since the total population is small. The questionnaire was used for data collection. Of the 116 copies of the questionnaire administered, 111 (95.7%) were found usable. The instrument was structured based on a 4-point Likert agreement scale of Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics like tables of frequency counts and percentage. The findings revealed that productivity and relative advantage are significant moderators of perceived usefulness of EIR adoption in private university libraries in Ogun and Osun States, Nigeria.

Evaluation of retrieval systems is mostly limited to laboratory settings and rarely considers changes of performance over time. This article presents an evaluation of retrieval systems for internal Web site search systems between the years 2006 and 2011. A holistic evaluation methodology for real Web sites was developed which includes tests for functionality, search quality, and user interaction. Among other sites, one set of 20 Web site search systems was evaluated three times in different years and no substantial improvement could be shown. It is surprising that the communication between site and user still leads to very poor results in many cases. Overall, the quality of these search systems could be improved, and several areas for improvement are apparent from our evaluation. For a comparison, Google’s site search function was also tested with the same tasks.
对检索系统的评价大多局限于实验室设置,很少考虑性能随时间的变化。本文对2006年到2011年间的内部网站搜索系统的检索系统进行了评价。为真实的Web站点开发了一种全面的评估方法,其中包括对功能、搜索质量和用户交互的测试。在其他网站中,一组20个网站搜索系统在不同的年份进行了三次评估,没有显示出实质性的改进。令人惊讶的是,在许多情况下,站点和用户之间的沟通仍然导致非常糟糕的结果。总的来说,这些搜索系统的质量可以得到改进,从我们的评估中可以明显看出有几个方面需要改进。作为对比,谷歌的网站搜索功能也用同样的任务进行了测试。

Knowledge Management (KM) has become a fundamental process for all types of institutions in society. Academic libraries are also an integral part of the knowledge system, these institutions being one of the forms that contribute to knowledge development. This study aims to find out the challenges and opportunities associated with KM practices in Dhaka University Library (DUL). The specific objectives were to ascertain the understanding of KM concepts among library professionals of DUL, to explore an overview of KM and its role, and to identify the rationale behind not practicing KM properly at DUL. Appropriate methods were employed. The findings indicate that limited expertise and lack of clear guidelines are the major challenges for the implementation of KM in DUL.

This paper describes qualities of a library classification system that are commonly discussed in the LIS tradition and literature, and explains such a system’s three main functions, namely knowledge mapping, information retrieval, and shelf arrangement. In this vein, the paper states the functional requirements of bibliographic classifications, which broadly are subject collocation and facilitation of browsing the collection. It explains with details the components of a library classification system and their functions. The major components are schedules, notations, and index. It also states their distinguished features, such as generalia class, form divisions, book numbers, and devices for number synthesis which are not required in a knowledge classification. It illustrates with examples from the WebDewey good examples of added features of an online library classification system.

The aim of this study is to compare country output and citation impact as well as to assess the level of interdisciplinarity in the field of tribology research during the period 1998-2012, based on the SCOPUS database. Macro-level scientometric indicators such as growth rate, share of international collaborative papers, citation per paper, share of un-cited papers, and publication efficiency index were employed. Further, the Simpson Index of Diversity was used to measure the level of interdisciplinarity. The performance of top countries contributing more than 1000 papers during the study period was discussed. Contributions and share of continents and countries by income groups were examined. Further research contributions and citation impact of selected country groups were analyzed. This study reveals that high levels of interdisciplinarity exist in tribology research. Asia outperforms the other world regions and China contributes most of the papers (25%), while the United States receives most of the citations (22%).
本研究的目的是基于SCOPUS数据库,比较1998-2012年期间摩擦学研究领域的国家产出和引文影响,并评估跨学科水平。采用宏观科学计量指标,如增长率、国际合作论文份额、论文被引率、未被引论文份额、发表效率指数等。此外,采用辛普森多样性指数来衡量跨学科水平。讨论了在研究期间发表论文数超过1000篇的主要国家的表现。审查了各大洲和国家按收入群体分列的捐款和份额。分析了选定国家组的进一步研究贡献和引文影响。这项研究揭示了摩擦学研究存在着高度的跨学科性。亚洲的表现优于世界其他地区,中国贡献了最多的论文(25%),而美国获得了最多的引用(22%)。

Professional and Scholarly Writing: Advice for Information Professionals and Academics 专业和学术写作:给信息专业人员和学者的建议
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2015-12-01 DOI: 10.1633/JISTAP.2015.3.4.1

There has been an explosion of new research and writing about all aspects of the information disciplines. Nevertheless, both academics and practitioners often find it difficult to engage in successful writing strategies. Indeed, writing is hard work, and doing it in a way that leads to publication is an even harder task. Since reading is essential to good writing, the challenges of learning to write are obvious. In this essay, I am drawing on many years of experience in writing and publishing, as well as considerable reading of writers’ memoirs, advice books on writing, literary studies, and other perspectives on the experience of writing in order to offer a set of approaches that can be pursued over a lifetime of scholarship and practice. Writing is a craft or art to be learned, and learning demands paying attention to the audience, having clear objectives, being an avid reader, and possessing the ability to accept and learn from criticism. While information professionals and scholars incessantly write for each other, there are large segments of the public and other disciplines who they ignore. Fortunately, the tools and resources for improving one’s writing are both broad and deep; discipline and realistic strategies are all that are required to improve one’s writing and, ultimately, to achieve success in publishing.
关于信息学科各个方面的新研究和新著作出现了爆炸式的增长。然而,学者和实践者经常发现很难参与成功的写作策略。事实上,写作是一项艰苦的工作,而以一种能够发表的方式写作则是一项更加艰巨的任务。既然阅读对于好的写作是必不可少的,那么学习写作的挑战是显而易见的。在这篇文章中,我借鉴了多年的写作和出版经验,以及大量阅读作家的回忆录、写作建议书、文学研究和其他关于写作经验的观点,以便提供一套可以在一生的学术和实践中追求的方法。写作是一门需要学习的手艺或艺术,学习需要关注读者,有明确的目标,是一个狂热的读者,并具有接受和学习批评的能力。虽然信息专业人士和学者不停地为彼此写作,但他们忽视了公众和其他学科的很大一部分。幸运的是,提高写作水平的工具和资源既广泛又深入;纪律和现实的策略是提高一个人的写作水平,并最终在出版中取得成功所必需的。
