Sources of information on medical geography

Adequate research in the peripheral field of medical geography requires familiarity with the literature of medicine, geography, and other environmentally oriented fields. The pertinent literature of the two primary disciplines, as well as that of anthropology, nutrition, and human bioclimatology, is surveyed from a bibliographical point of view. A brief review of historical sources is presented, followed by a discussion of the contemporary organizations, both international and national, active in the field. Emphasis is placed on the publishing programs and projects, maps, atlases, symposia, reports, and other literature sponsored or stimulated by these organizations. Regional bibliographical surveys for East Africa, India, and the Soviet Union are also noted. Pertinent aspects of bibliographies, indexes, abstracts, library card catalogs and accession lists, and other resources are listed, with emphasis on the various subject headings and other approaches to them. Throughout, the sources of information are approached from a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary viewpoint.     

Serials standards work: the next frontier

Serials, one of the more complicated areas of library technical endeavors, has lacked the benefit of standards for a long time. Even now, with standards beginning to be available, the majority of institutions are not working within standard serials formats. A survey to determine the use of serials standards in libraries was conducted in 1988 by the American Library Association, Resources and Technical Services Division, Serials Section, Committee to Study Serials Standards. In the spring of 1988 a survey was sent to a group encompassing the Association of Research Libraries members, CONSER participants, United States Newspaper Program participants, Microform Project libraries, and some vendors and librarians who attended the Committee meetings on a regular basis. The survey questionnaire assessed the current level of serials standards awareness of librarians and vendors. Topics included the type of serials systems used, standards relevant to serials control and union listing and whether or not they are implemented, types and levels of training staff received in the application of standards, benefits of the standards, and areas where standards are most needed.

透视中国学术期刊的国际竞争力

学术期刊可以体现一个国家的科研竞争力,同时也是科学生产率的重要表现形式之一.中国作为世界上发展速度较快的国家之一,经济、军事、科技、教育等领域的发展都面临着巨大的机遇和挑战,因此把我国科技期刊置身于世界范围内进行比较和分析有着很重要的意义.本文利用JCR 2001～2005年的数据,从总被引,影响因子,即年指标,载文量等各项指标分析了中国学术期刊的期刊表现力和学术竞争力,得出以下结论:中国被收录的期刊数量稳步增长,但整体质量有待提高;被收录期刊所涉及的学科逐年增加,但学科内各期刊排名较后,仍需进一步加强;从期刊的角度来看,中国的学术期刊在过去的几年中有了很大的进步,成绩斐然,但这些进步主要是在自然科学方面,在社会科学方面中国学术期刊表现一直比较低迷.
