同行评审的新趋势

为避免传统同行评审形式出现的诸多弊端,学术出版界不断探索新的同行评议方法,出现了诸多的创新。本文主要对当前正在尝试的新兴同行评审方法进行调查,并介绍相关经验。这些创新方法包括开放性同行评审、非选择性同行评审、开放预审稿件的公众评审、便携式同行评审、反弹式同行评审、背书式同行评审。调查结果显示,同行评审实践发生了巨大的变化,与互联网革命和开放获取出版紧密相关,科学出版商为作者提供了更多的选择,新的同行评议形式为学术交流注入了新的活力。     

科技期刊编辑如何把好论文的学术质量关

科技期刊的编辑在处理稿件的过程中,首先要选择好审稿人,对于返回的审稿意见要准确把握;要起好作者与审稿人之间的桥梁作用,使作者与审稿人之间有适当的意见交流;要在编校过程中积累经验,注意对文章中试验材料和方法、图表、数据以及参考文献的审读与加工.

46种中华医学会系列杂志的审稿与退修程序分析

为了解委托办中华医学会系列杂志在审稿方面存在的问题,探讨改进措施,以规范审稿制度与规则,抽检46种期刊的46期,发现不少共同性的问题.建议:参加终审定稿会的人数不得少于5人,要有记录,要有签字;退修并不是次数越多越好,编辑要尽可能地将专家审稿意见、编委会的终审意见消化吸收,加上自己的意见一次性转告作者,以便作者通盘考虑,全面修改.     

国外基于本体的信息系统概念建模研究

信息系统概念建模是在信息系统开发的需求分析阶段,为促进相关人员之间的理解和沟通,对某些领域的静态现象和动态现象进行形式化地表示和建立文档的活动,属于需求工程和软件工程的子学科。基于本体的信息系统概念建模是指用本体理论或模型支持信息系统概念建模的方法。本文根据目前国外学者对基于本体的信息系统概念建模的研究情况,将其分为两个主要的学派:一是BWW本体学派;另一个是REA学派。在此基础上介绍和比较了两大学派的研究成果,并对其未来的研究方向进行了展望。

Risk and protective factors for mental health in elite athletes: a scoping review

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this scoping review was to provide an overview of studies concerning the mental health (MH) of elite athletes and to provide a methodological, conceptual, and applied overview of factors affecting elite athletes’ MH. A total of nine reviews and 43 empirical studies were evaluated and are reported in three sections: sample characteristics, research design, and factors affecting elite athletes’ MH. These factors were grouped into risk and protective factors and divided into a personal and sport-environmental domain. The studies used quantitative (84%), qualitative (11%), and mixed-method (5%) designs and examined a wide range of sports in different countries. Our review shows that researchers have predominantly examined the prevalence of athletes’ mental ill-health (e.g. depression) and the related factors compromising MH. Potential protective factors such as the feeling of autonomy, positive relations in sport and private life, and adequate recovery were highlighted in the qualitative studies. The discussion appraises the findings through a critical lens, focuses on the current state of the research area and the MH definition, limitations, suggested practical implications (e.g. to provide MH literacy to both athletes and coaches), and future research directions (e.g. examining environments that foster elite athletes’ MH).     

Professional collaboration in searching the evidence for an ill‐defined concept

This paper outlines the inter‐professional collaboration of the authors, a PhD student, his supervisor and an information professional, to systematically search the literature for an ill‐defined concept. The research question posed for the scoping literature review indicated that the topic, the subjective socio‐economic status and health of adults with intellectual disabilities, was rare. The need for a methodological search process was therefore identified and successfully carried out. The paper presents an analysis of the processes and the collaboration involved in developing a successful search strategy. The resulting transformative learning by the researcher of the professional practice of the information specialist illuminates their facilitating and supportive role in advancing health related research.

A systematic review of visual representations for analyzing collaborative discourse

Visual analytics combines automated data analysis and human intelligence through visualisation techniques to address the complexity of current real-world problems. This review uses the lens of visual analytics to examine four dimensions of visual representations for analysing collaborative discourse: goals, data sources, visualisation designs, and analytical techniques based on 89 studies. We found visual analysis approaches to be suitable and advantageous for decomposing the temporality of collaborative discourse. However, it has been challenging for current research to simultaneously consider learning theories and follow visualisation design principles when adopting visualisations to analyse collaborative discourse. At the same time, existing visual analysis approaches have mainly targeted learners or researchers in online contexts and mainly focused on mirroring collaborative discourse rather than providing advanced affordances such as alerting or advising. Informed by these findings, we propose a possible future research agenda and offer suggestions for the features of successful collaboration to guide the design of advanced affordances.
