The goal of this study is to analyse the scientific productivity of Montenegrin researchers in the field of sports sciences, as well as the trend of publishing in Montenegrin sports sciences journals. The research covers studies with a focus on the sports sciences issues published in the period from 2002 to 2019. Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science (the electronic databases) were searched for articles available until September 22, 2021. Results were summarized according to the instructions of PRISMA guidelines and present the number of citations, h-index, i10-index and the number of articles by the authors. The study results shows that researchers from the field of sports sciences publish multiple publications in 2021 compared to 2002. In Google scholar database citation rate is highest, and span from 596 and 14959. On the other side, the same researchers were cited quite less in Scopus and Web of Science databases. When we talk about Montenegrin journals, three are registered in the Google Scholar Database. The Sport Mont journal is the most cited one with the highest h-index (44); the Montenegrin Journal of Sports Science and Medicine is the best ranked Montenegrin journal according to the bibliometric data from the Scopus and Web of Science databases; the Journal of Anthropology of Sport and Physical Education have constant progress in the last years. It was indicated the highest impact was recognized in the last four years, according to citations of available articles published by Montenegrin authors. Also, the number of published articles in the last four year is significant, and progress can be expected in the future.

The objective of this study was to carry out, based on certain bibliometric and altimetric indicators, a summary assessment of the scientific productivity of Quisqueya University’s researchers in 3 specific fields: agronomy, the environment and health. An experimental framework was designed and implemented based on the quantitative information available on the academic social network ResearchGate, and on SCOPUS and Google scholar, out of a total of 12,731 citations enumerated for Quisqueya University as of December 31, 2020, 19% were for the environment, 19.3% were for health, 59.9% for agronomy and 1.8% for other sectors. All the sectors recorded a significant increase for the RG score altmetric indicator and for the two bibliometric indicators: number of citations and H-index. The data collected were analyzed using XLSTAT and R software. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test was applied for each of the indicators. Pearson's rank correlation was used to calculate the correlations between the altmetric indicator (RG-Score) from ResearchGate and the bibliometric indicators (citation and H-index) from Google Scholar and Scopus. A significant positive correlation of α = 0.918 was observed between the number of citations on ResearchGate and on Google Scholar. a result in the same direction (α = 0.991) is also observed between the number of citations on ResearchGate and on Scopus. These correlations allow us to conclude that the work of these researchers was cited in publications published in journals referenced in the Web of Science by a rate exceeding 90%.

    O plágio é um problema endémico na sociedade contemporânea, está presente nos vários quadrantes da comunidade e a pesquisa científica não representa nenhuma exceção. No campo da investigação desportiva, o número de más praticas tem aumentado gradualmente, contrariando todos os pressupostos éticos. Desenvolveram-se um alargado número de atividades em instituições e países de forma a contrariar o fenómeno, contudo o problema prevalece, dentro e fora da ciência, na academia, por parte de alunos e de investigadores. O objetivo do presente estudo foi elaborar uma revisão de literatura acerca do plágio na investigação em Ciências do Desporto que permita fornecer um conjunto de reflexões sobre a forma como se pode combater tal problema. A revisão de literatura foi realizada recorrendo às bases de dados Web of Science, SCOPUS, MEDLINE/PubMed e Google Académico, e concluída ao longo do mês de Outubro de 2020, os estudos analisados estão compreendidos entre os anos de 1999 e 2020. O plágio foi apontado como razão principal para as retratações nas revistas de ciências do desporto. A falta de formação e o desejo de obter currículos brilhantes são percebidas como razões que leva a prática de más condutas. O plágio na investigação científica, nos dias que correm, é uma realidade preocupante, desta forma, é preciso tentar mitigar o fenómeno, principalmente na área das ciências do desporto uma área com pouca tradição.  Abstract. Plagiarism is an endemic problem in contemporary society, it is present in the various fields of the community and scientific research is no exception. In the field of sports research, the number of bad practices has gradually increased, contrary to all ethical assumptions. A large number of activities have been developed in institutions and countries in order to counter the phenomenon, however, the problem prevails, inside and outside science, in academia, by students and researchers. The aim of the present study was to develop a literature review about plagiarism, the problems that the subject raises in scientific research in the area of sports sciences and the way in which it can be fought. Different databases were consulted, such as the Web of Science, SCOPUS, MEDLINE/PubMed and Google Scholar. The literature review and analysis were carried out and completed during October 2020. Plagiarism was cited as the main reason for retractions in sports science magazines. The lack of training and the desire to obtain excellent curricula are perceived as reasons that lead to the practice of misconduct. Plagiarism in scientific research, nowadays, is a worrying reality, so it is necessary to try to mitigate the phenomenon, especially in the area of sports sciences, an area with little tradition.

El objetivo de este estudio consiste en analizar los patrones de autoría y hábitos de publicación de los investigadores de España más productivos y/o citados. Método: Se han seleccionado los investigadores españoles o que trabajan en instituciones españolas, con mayor índice H y número de citas recibidas en Google Scholar (GS) a partir del Webometrics Ranking of World Universities. Los datos de las publicaciones se han obtenido de la colección principal de Web of Science (WOS). Resultados y conclusiones: La productividad e impacto de los investigadores en Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades es mucho menor en la base de datos WOS que en GS. Como autores hiperprolíficos destacan los investigadores en el campo de Física de Partículas, donde es habitual la publicación de 90 artículos al año firmados por más de 2000 autores. Los investigadores de Ciencias de la Salud también son altamente productivos y en multiautoría. This paper aims to analyze the authorship patterns and publication habits of the most productive and / or cited researchers in Spain. Method: Spanish researchers or those who work in Spanish institutions with the highest H index and number of citations received in Google Scholar (GS) have been selected from the Webometrics Ranking of World Universities. Publication data was obtained from the main Web of Science (WOS) collection. Results and conclusions: The productivity and impact of researchers in Social Sciences and Humanities is much less in the WOS database than in GS. As hyperprolific authors highlight researchers in the field of Particle Physics, where the publication of 90 articles per year signed by more than 2000 authors is common. To a lesser extent, Health Sciences researchers are also highly productive in multi-author.

Abstract Background Hip fracture is common and carries high morbidity and mortality; thus, it has become a vital concern. We aim to analyse the present status, worldwide trends in hip fracture and state of clinical research. Methods Publications from 2000 to 2019 were retrieved from the Web of Science database and analysed using a bibliometric methodology. VOSviewer software was utilised for analysis. Results In total, 6139 publications were included, and publications increased annually from 152 in 2000 to 592 in 2019. U.S. researchers have produced the most publications, the highest H-index and the greatest number of citations. Osteoporosis International has published the most papers on the topic. Leading researchers, contributing institutions, their cooperative relationships and scientific masterpieces have been identified. The publications can be divided into five clusters: ‘mortality’, ‘surgical management’, ‘rehabilitation’, ‘osteoporosis’ and ‘epidemiology’. A clear developing trend was described, which began with fracture epidemiology and prevention, transitioned to perioperative management, orthogeriatric care and patient safety and then to functional recovery, disease burden and national audits in recent times. Conclusions Hip fractures result in conditions that extend far beyond orthopaedics concerning epidemiology and preventive medicine, internal medicine and endocrinology, as well as critical care and gerontology. Interest, research and publications are on the rise.

Abstract Background: Manuscripts pertaining to paediatric cardiology and CHD have been published in a variety of different journals. Some of these journals are journals dedicated to paediatric cardiology, while others are focused on adult cardiology. Historically, it has been considered that manuscripts published in journals devoted to adult cardiology have greater citation potential. Our objective was to compare citation performance between manuscripts related to paediatric cardiology and CHD published in paediatric as opposed to adult cardiology journals. Methods: We identified manuscripts related to paediatric cardiology and CHD published in five journals of interest during 2014. Of these journals, two were primarily concerned with adult cardiology, while the other three focused on paediatric cardiology. The number of citations for these identified manuscripts was gathered from Google Scholar. We compared the number of citations (median, mean, and 25th, 75th, 90th, and 95th percentiles), the potential for citation, and the h-index for the identified manuscripts. Results: We identified a total of 828 manuscripts related to paediatric cardiology and congenital heart as published in the 5 journals during 2014. Of these, 783 (95%) were published in journals focused on paediatric cardiology, and the remaining 45 (5%) were published in journals focused on adult cardiology. The median number of citations was 41 in the manuscripts published in the journals focused on adult cardiology, as opposed to 7 in journals focused on paediatric cardiology (p < 0.001). The h-index, however, was greater for the journals dedicated to paediatric cardiology (36 versus 27). Conclusion: Approximately one-twentieth of the work relating to paediatric cardiology and CHD is published in journals that focus predominantly on adult cardiology. The median number of citations is greater when manuscripts concerning paediatric cardiology and CHD are published in these journals focused on adult cardiology. The h-index, however, is higher when the manuscripts are published in journals dedicated to paediatric cardiology. While such publications in journals that focus on adult cardiology tend to generate a greater number of citations than those achieved for works published in specialised paediatric cardiology journals, the potential for citation is no different between the journals. Due to the drastically lower number of manuscripts published in journals dedicated to adult cardiology, however, median performance is different.

Resumen:El Proceso de Bolonia concibe la evaluación como parte del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, denominándose ‘evaluación formativa’, pudiendo ser la autoevaluación una parte esencial del mismo. Esta se entiende como dos acciones: metodología de enseñanza-aprendizaje; o autocalificación, evaluándose cuantitativamente con repercusión en la nota final. Se analizaron 1.761 guías docentes de las asignaturas de 40 universidades españolas que imparten presencialmente el Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte, siendo un estudio con el 100 % de la población. Los resultados mostraron que el 7,55 % de las asignaturas emplea la autoevaluación como metodología de enseñanza-aprendizaje; el 9,43 % como autocalificación y el 1,65 % emplea ambas; encontrando diferencias significativas en función de la titularidad, la universidad, la comunidad autónoma y el número de créditos. Estos resultados son muy inferiores comparados con un estudio con datos autorreportados por docentes (Panadero, Brown, y Courtney, 2014), declarando el 89,7 % emplear la autoevaluación y el 66,2 % la autocalificación. Esta investigación constituye su relevancia al aportar una completa visión sobre la implementación de la autoevaluación y la autocalificación en el grado de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte en España. Abstract:The Bologna Process understands assessment as a part of the teaching and learning process. It is so-called formative assessment, being self-assessment an essential part of it. Self-assessment can be conceived having two potential actions. First, as a teaching and learning method, being its purpose to teach students how to assess their own work. Second, as self-grading, in order to grade their own achievement with direct impact in their final mark of the course. This study aims to explore the use of self-assessment and self-grading processes in the Degree in Sport Science. 1,761 teaching guides from the syllabus of the 40 Spanish university faculties with attendance studies were analyzed. Thus, this is a population-based study. Results showed that self-assessment is presumably used in 14.99% of subjects: 7.55% with formative purposes, 9.43% as self-grading and 1.65% employ both. Significant differences were found for ownership, university, region and number of credits. Increased use in some regions and universities shows the territorial influence and the existence of teachers´ communities of practice. These results are far lower compared both to another similar research based on self-reported data collected by surveys (Panadero, Brown, & Courtney, 2014), in which 89.7% of teachers reported they use self-assessment and 66.2% self-grading. Therefore, this research is relevant to provide a suitable overview of the implementation of self-assessment and self-grading in the Degree in Sports Science.

BACKGROUND Social networks are now essential tools for promoting research and researchers. However, there is no study investigating the link between presence or not on professional social networks and scientific publication or citation for a given researcher. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to study the link between professional presence on social networks and scientific publications/citations among anesthesia researchers. METHODS We included all the French full professors and associate professors of anesthesia. We analyzed their presence on the social networks Twitter (professional account with ≥1 tweet over the 6 previous months) and ResearchGate. We extracted their bibliometric parameters for the 2016-2020 period via the Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) database in the Science Citation Index-Expanded index. RESULTS A total of 162 researchers were analyzed; 42 (25.9%) had an active Twitter account and 110 (67.9%) a ResearchGate account. There was no difference between associate professors and full professors regarding active presence on Twitter (8/23 [35%] vs. 34/139 [24.5%], respectively; <i>P</i>=.31) or ResearchGate (15/23 [65%] vs. 95/139 [68.3%], respectively; <i>P</i>=.81). Researchers with an active Twitter account (median [IQR]) had more scientific publications (45 [28-61] vs. 26 [12-41]; <i>P</i>&lt;.001), a higher h-index (12 [8-16] vs. 8 [5-11]; <i>P</i>&lt;.001), a higher number of citations per publication (12.54 [9.65-21.8] vs. 10.63 [5.67-16.10]; <i>P</i>=.01), and a higher number of citations (563 [321-896] vs. 263 [105-484]; <i>P</i>&lt;.001). Researchers with a ResearchGate account (median [IQR]) had more scientific publications (33 [17-47] vs. 26 [9-43]; <i>P</i>=.03) and a higher h-index (9 [6-13] vs. 8 [3-11]; <i>P</i>=.03). There was no difference between researchers with a ResearchGate account and those without it concerning the number of citations per publication and overall number of citations. In multivariate analysis including sex, academic status, and presence on social networks, the presence on Twitter was associated with the number of publications (β=20.2; <i>P</i>&lt;.001), the number of citations (β=494.5; <i>P</i>&lt;.001), and the h-index (β=4.5; <i>P</i>&lt;.001). CONCLUSIONS Among French anesthesia researchers, an active presence on Twitter is associated with higher scientific publication and citations.

Abstract Background: The scientific productivity and academic output of elite Iraqi pediatricians as measured by bibliometric parameters has become of increased interest. The aim of this study is to evaluate the scientific productivity and academic output of Iraqi pediatricians who have H-index of 10 or higher. Materials and methods: The first step of this research was to determine the Iraqi pediatricians who have H-index of 10 or more at Google Scholar Citation by examining more than 300 profiles of Iraqi authors on the 16th and 17th of August, 2019. The second step was to study the H-index and scientific productivity and academic output of the authors found at other web sites such as the Scopus and Publons. Results: Initially, three Iraqi pediatricians were found to have H-index of 10 at Google Scholar Citation and no Iraqi pediatrician having H-index of more than 10 was found. However, one of the Iraqi pediatricians “Mahmood Dhahir Al-Mendalawi” received citations for articles not authored by him and his profile contained articles not authored by him. His actual H-index was definitely less than 10 and his Scopus H-index was 3. Therefore, only 2 Iraqi pediatricians who actually have H-index of 10 were found. Aamir Al-Mosawi who also has H-index at Scopus of 8 and at Publons of 6 and Mazin Faisal Al-Jadiry who has H-index at Scopus of 6, but has no profile or H-index at Publons. Conclusion: This is the very first study evaluating the scientific productivity and academic output of elite Iraqi pediatricians. When evaluating the H-index of an author at Google Scholar Citation, it is necessary to check the main articles contributing to the H-index of the author are actually belongs to him or her. A very low Scopus H-index is a good indicator to check the accuracy of citation calculation at Google Scholar Citation.
