New Research

This issue of Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies compiles six original research articles from the Nordic countries.The first article brings us to Finland. In The Experience Qualities Approach to Leadership and Employee Well-being, Ilkka Salmi and her co-authors present a study that illustrate how a new research approach enables researchers on leadership and employee well- being to conceptualize and study ‘experience’ in new ways. Based on semi-structured interviews with 23 leaders and employees in an international mining organization located in Finland, the article illustrates how the approach helps to identify the relation- ship between leaders’ and employees’ experiences and well-being by nuancing ‘general experiences’ to not only include emotions but also experience qualities such as knowledge and assumptions.

Evidence‐based information practice is an important paradigm that is now emerging in mainstream information work from within healthcare information. This paper aims to provide an introduction to the concept before considering the imperative for practitioners to use insights from research within their professional practice and day‐to‐day decision making. The importance of a focused question and a systematic approach to critical appraisal are rehearsed and similarities with the domain of information systems are briefly considered. The paper concludes with state‐of‐the‐art observations from a recent conference in Canada and recommendations for further development of the paradigm. The objective is to achieve the eventual extinction of the concept through complete integration as simply another tool for reflective practice.

It gives me great pleasure to publish first issue of journal of NSPOI. We intended to publish case reports, review articles, with main focus on original research articles. Our objective is to reach all the clinical practitioners, who have knowledge and interest but have lack of time to record the interesting cases, research activities and new innovative procedures which help us in updating our knowledge and improving our treatment. Our main emphasis is to promote scientific papers of good quality and we extend our boundaries right from periodontal care to allied sciences. We feel that there is a wide scope to explore various fields of dental sciences. With clear intentions we welcome you to post comments related to the journal by sparing your valuable time and request you to send articles. Finally, I thank my editorial team, technical team, authors and well wishers, who are promoting this journal. I specially thank the president of NSPOI, Dr Shaili Pradhan who has trusted me and given this responsibility.

In 2014, the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) celebrated the fact that IPA's flagship scientific journalInternational Psychogeriatrics(IPG) has matured, attaining 25 years of existence since its foundation in 1989. The IPG editorial team introduced several new features in the 2014 issues to celebrate this significant quarter century milestone. One of them was the new “paper of the month” category. Following an internal selection process amongst the editorial team, who ranked available accepted papers focusing on their scientific quality and clinical relevance each month, one paper was selected as paper of the month from the categories “original research articles” and “reviews”. This resulted in 12 papers of the month, of which eight were original research articles and four were reviews or meta-analyses. Each paper of the month was accompanied by a short commentary highlighting its importance, written either by an editorial team member, one of the reviewers of the paper, or an external international expert on the topic of the paper. The editorial team aimed to highlight various psychogeriatric topics, so there are papers covering the wide spectrum of cognitive impairment, from risk factors such a hippocampal atrophy (Ferrariniet al., 2014) and traumatic brain injury (Gilbertet al., 2014), via transition between diagnostic categories on the cognitive continuum (Elliset al., 2014) to variations in symptom expression (Rockwoodet al., 2014) and apathy (Theleritiset al., 2014) to exercise interventions for people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Farinaet al., 2014) or antipsychotic use for patients with dementia living in residential care (Kleijeret al., 2014). Other papers reported on topics relevant to the aging process in general, such as neuroplasticity (Valkanovaet al., 2014), loneliness (Yanet al., 2014) or attitudes to aging (Shenkinet al., 2014). Other psychogeriatric topics covered were delirium (Ritchieet al., 2014) and geriatric depression (Steffenset al., 2014). In the international spirit of IPA, authors of the 12 papers come from Australia, Canada China, Greece, Germany, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA. From those 12 papers an IPG paper of the year 2014 was selected with the help of three independent reviewers: Dr Doh Kwan Kim from South Korea, Dr Gill Livingston from the UK, and Dr Daniel Weintraub from the USA. Our three reviewers ranked all 12 papers of the month independently from each other and the highest ranked paper overall was “The association of traumatic brain injury with rate of progression of cognitive and functional impairment in a population-based cohort of Alzheimer's disease: the Cache County Dementia Progression Study” by Mac Gilbert, Christine Snyder, Chris Corcoran, Maria C. Norton, Constantine G. Lyketsos, and JoAnn T. Tschanz. The reviewers emphasized that traumatic brain injury (TBI) is recognized as an important risk factor for AD which needs more research, and that the study by Gilbertet al.contributes important new knowledge to the area with the specific strength of reporting long-term follow up. In this context, we refer to the excellent commentary on the paper of the year by Dr David Sharp (Sharp, 2014), which was published alongside the paper of the year when it was paper of the month in the October 2014 issue.

Art Form

Writing is an art and like any art form, it needs perseverance, dedication and practice. However, to write a good quality paper, the habit of reading scientific articles and analyzing them is very important. With the advent of internet and online publishing, we have access to colossal research articles on myriads of subjects making extraordinary conclusions.  Evidence based practice requires us to rely on literature for our clinical practice, and we have abundant publications on all aspects claiming to justify all sides of the argument. In this context it becomes more important for all in clinical practice to be able to dissect an article and analyze it in details.
