This study investigated the effect of academic library managers’ communication skills on the librarians’ motivation and job satisfaction. By determining the status and impact of library managers’ communication skills on the librarians’ level of motivation and job satisfaction, it is possible to design the necessary plans to promote librarians’ motivation and job satisfaction. The study population comprised 90 librarians from 20 universities and their branches. Data were collected via a questionnaire, and the relationships between variables were assessed via multiple regression. The average communication skills of library managers in academic libraries were 63.90 per cent and the average communication skills of librarians were 73.06 per cent, higher than the identified average. The library managers’ communication skills did not have a significant effect on librarians’ motivation, but had a significant effect on their job satisfaction. Moreover, effective communication between managers and employees leads to the provision of high-quality services and a better understanding of the tasks assigned to the employees. The results of this study are useful for administrators, librarians, and other university staff.

The purpose of the work is to make a quantitative and qualitative assessment of published research on fake news in light of the Library and Information Science (LIS) perspective and show the research trends. Essential metadata elements were collected from the SCOPUS bibliographic database pertaining to fake news with specific reference to the LIS domain from 2017 to 2020 for the research work and analysed as per the research objectives. While the bibliometric indicators and R package has been used to study the various quantitative dimensions of publication patterns of the research papers, qualitative content analysis has been used to determine the emerging areas of research on fake news within the discipline. The quantitative analysis reveals that a good number of research works (N=133) have been published in as many as 52 academic journals of LIS that received 628 citations. “Proceedings of the Association for Information Science and Technology” is the most productive journal that published the highest numbers of articles on fake news, and the USA is the dominant country of publications. In the LIS field, “fake news” is an emerging study topic that is gaining momentum. The research works covered a wide range of topics, including social media and fake news, information literacy and fake news, the role of libraries and librarians in fake news, detecting and combating fake news, theories, models, and frameworks, as well as archiving, preservation of fake news.

This paper focuses on the spread of disinformation on novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and creating the larger phenomena of information disorder. It analyses an array of definitional meaning and disinformation on COVID-19, which has been identified and grounded with valid information by the fact-checkers. The study’s aim is to explore and analyse the intents behind the circulation of misleading information (intended and unintended) on COVID-19. For the study, quantitative content analysis and qualitative discourse analysis methods were utilised to explore the extent of the misleading information on COVID-19. Further, in-depth interviews were conducted with fact-checkers, media professionals, academicians, and a psychologist to understand the purpose of disinformation and its impact on society at large. The study’s findings propose that fact-checking is a crucial method to identify fake/misleading information, which can be counter acted by accurate and verified information. This paper argues that holding journalists, fact-checkers, the Government, and the citizens’ accountable, is necessary to counter the threat of disinformation about the pandemic.

The accuracy of the citations is crucial in scientific writing. The present study aims to investigate the accuracy of citations in the obstetrics and gynecology journals indexed in the Web of Science. Major and minor citation errors, type of errors, and citation errors in the Q1 to Q4 journals investigate as the objectives. The journals were retrieved by searching the “Obstetrics & Gynecology” category in the Journal Citation Report (JCR) in the Web of Science, and journals in different quartiles (Q1-Q4) were identified by applying the JIF Quartile filter. Eight hundred forty citations were selected from articles in the first five Q1 to Q4 journals using systematic sampling and article type citations were included in the study (730 citations). Bibliographic elements were assessed for citation errors. Findings show that 554 citations (75.89 %) involved errors. Only 24.1 per cent of the citations had no errors. The highest citation errors were related to the volume and issue, with 582 major errors (79.72 %). The citation accuracy in the Q2 and Q3 journals is higher than in other journals. The high rate of citation errors, especially in volumes and numbers, indicates that the journals need to pay attention to citation accuracy in these sections and the use of valid and complete citation styles.
引文的准确性在科学写作中是至关重要的。本研究旨在探讨在Web of Science中收录的妇产科期刊引文的准确性。以Q1到Q4期刊中的主要和次要引用错误、错误类型和引用错误为研究目标。通过在Web of Science的Journal Citation Report (JCR)中搜索“Obstetrics & Gynecology”类别检索到期刊，并采用JIF四分位数过滤器对不同四分位数(Q1-Q4)的期刊进行筛选。采用系统抽样的方法，从Q1 - Q4前5期期刊的文章中选取840条引文，将文章类型引文纳入研究(730条引文)。评估书目要素的引文错误。结果显示，554篇引文存在错误，占75.89%。只有24.1%的引文没有错误。引文错误最多的是文献数量和问题，主要错误582次(79.72%)。Q2和Q3期刊的引文准确性高于其他期刊。较高的引文错误率，特别是在数量和数量上的错误率表明，期刊需要注意这些章节的引文准确性，使用有效完整的引文格式。

This paper examined hate speech as a threat to Nigeria’s national unity and national integration. It is designed to x-ray people’s understanding of what constitute hate and the role of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) in promoting national unity and integration in Nigeria. Qualitative research method was adopted in conducting the research. Data was collected using interview and descriptive method was used in the analysis. A total of 72 participants were purposively selected for the interview from the six geo-political zones in Nigeria. The findings show that majority of the respondents were not familiar with the concept of MIL; the study also showed that effective implementation of MIL competencies will not only curb the spread of hate speech in Nigeria but also ensure national unity and national integration. The paper concludes by recommending that there is need for sensitisation among Nigerians on the dangers of hate speech and the remedy provided by MIL in order to produce citizens who will harmoniously work together to build the country.

Open Journal Systems (OJS), a modern era Publishing tool for authors, reviewers and editors have gained a lot of popularity in the recent times as this software is available free for use on web and publishes journal online. While this tool empowers its user to validate, support, control, track publications, etc, at the same time its wide user base has raised few concerns about data security. This article deals with security issues that may arise from the use of this web-based journal management and publishing software by the author and also suggests measures/precautions on how to minimise the possible risk related to data security based on author experience in certain situations. For this, the author has adopted a methodology that synchronises reviewed research papers with thoughts gained by reading various blogs and documentation and doing analysis of same. With this contribution from the author, the user is expected to benefit from the implementation of suggestive guidance/approach as prescribed in this article to overcome similar issues, which may be faced by some users. The author has endeavored to express the associated security issues, recommend solutions and security steps to be followed while using the OJS in certain situations.

Media and Information Literacy (MIL) emphasises a critical approach to literacy to enables people to question critically what they have read, heard and learned. It is requireed in all levels of education and more so to reserach scholars. The aim of the study is to find the awareness and use of MIL tools by research scholars of Pondicherry University. The objectives are: a) to identify the level of awareness in MIL among research scholars; b) to assess the usefulness and relevance of MIL among research scholars; c) to identify the training needs of research scholars in MIL; d) to determine the problems faced by the researches scholars of Pondicherry University while using MIL tools; and e) to suggest the best methods of delivering MIL training to the research scholars of Pondicherry University. The survey method and quesionanire tool are used in conducting this study. Of the total 13 schools, due to time limiation research scholars working in 10 schools were taken as sample. A majority of the respondents are aware of the term MIL and that enables them to save time. Most of the respondents use journals/papers followed by internet for conducting research. The majority (75.49 %) of them preferred 1-2 weeks of workshop-based training on MIL. MIL syllabus may cover media literacy (75.49 %), information literacy (86.27 %), computer literacy (77.45 %), digital literacy (54.9 %), literary literacy (71.57 %), and news literacy (73.53 %). A majority (62.74 %) of the scholars do not know on MIL initiatives in India. Therefore, UGC may have to take necessary steps in implementing the same.

This study aims to explore research collaborations and authorship patterns in the field of semantic digital libraries(SDL). The data is extracted (N=2075) from the Scopus database using keywords related to semantic digital libraries by considering all types of publications during 1983-2019. The analysis of each document is based on the following scientometrics indicators: author productivity, degree of collaboration, collaboration index, collaboration coefficient and modified collaboration coefficient. Correlation matrices were also calculated and inferences drawn in terms of authors and publications. A network visualisation tool VOSviewer was used to present authorship correlation network strength and keyword mapping for a better insight into the emerging areas in the field of SDL. The resulting average degree of collaboration of 0.898 indicates that a large number of publications are multi-authored and that there is a higher level of collaborative research in the field of semantic digital libraries. Meghini C from the Institute of Information Science and Technologies, Italy has produced the highest number of research paper(n=18) whereas Egenhofer MJ found to be a profoundly impacted author with 851 citations on in the studied domain. Results also reveal that the focus areas of research related to SDL include digital libraries, semantic web, ontology, metadata and information retrieval. However, keywords such as natural language processing system, computational linguistics, linked data are also repeated frequently in the published literature, thus revealing the emerging areas of the future research in the domain of SDL.

The data is extracted (N=2075) from the Scopus database using keywords related to semantic digital libraries by considering all types of publications during 1983-2019. The analysis of each document is based on the following scientometrics indicators: author productivity, degree of collaboration, collaboration index, collaboration coefficient and modified collaboration coefficient. Correlation matrices were also calculated and inferences drawn in terms of authors and publications. A network visualisation tool VOSviewer was used to present authorship correlation network strength and keyword mapping for a better insight into the emerging areas in the field of SDL. The resulting average degree of collaboration of 0.898 indicates that a large number of publications are multi-authored and that there is a higher level of collaborative research in the field of semantic digital libraries.
