In this review paper, we refresh and update our earlier ranking list based on citations in the field of migration studies. The results are categorised and presented separately for the books and reports, articles and book chapters and for authors of these works. In this latest elaboration, we have presented the updated version of the most linfluential works of all times list, but we have focused on the five years period from 2011 to 2016. 2011 is taken as a starting year and 2012 to 2016 covers the last five years. The resulting ranking lists from now on are to be presented for five year periods to be in line with most impact factor calculations available. Using the Google Scholar citation database and Ann Harzing ranking software, we have created ranking lists of the most cited articles, books and authors in migration studies.

The aim of this paper is to offer an independent measure of the impact of published research in migration studies field. Using the Google Scholar citation database and Ann Harzing ranking software, we have created a long list of most cited works in migration studies and drew a list of 100 top articles and books and 100 most cited authors who appeared in periodicals and books. Like any lists, this one also has some drawbacks but yet it reflects somewhat the influence of the work our colleagues in this fast growing field produce.

Purpose This paper aims to identify the scholarly nature of the results retrieved by the Google Scholar on the five major global problems, i.e. global warming, economic recession, terrorism, HIV AIDS and child labour. Design/methodology/approach The five terms (global warming, economic recession, terrorism, HIV AIDS and child labour) were searched into the Google Scholar database, and the first 50 retrieved hits were manually analysed to record the relevant bibliographic details. The scholarship of the results was measured by quality indices like h-index, Altmetrics and Journal Impact Factor. The Scopus – the world’s biggest abstract and citation database – was used to identify the h-index of the prolific authors, citations of articles and impact factor of journals. Findings The study reveals that Google Scholar retrieves a good number of publications on the selected global problems from reputed publishers such as Nature Publishing Group, Elsevier, Cambridge University Press, Blackwell and Sage and published from well-developed countries such as the USA, UK and Switzerland. Google Scholar mostly retrieves articles and research papers from qualitative journals having a good impact factor such as Nature, Science, The Lancet, American Journal of Public Health, The Economic Journal, Social Science and Medicine and Annals of Tourism Research. These articles and books are contributed by the reputed authors having high h-index. The journal articles and books retrieved have also a good number of citations, although such results are limited. The results prove that Google Scholar is scholarly in nature to a great extent. Research limitations/implications The findings are limited to Google Scholar only and cannot be generalized for the rest of the search tools or databases. Further, the study included only five major global problems in the study, and thus, results cannot be applicable to other areas of knowledge. Practical implications The study is a checklist to know the retrieval performance of Google Scholar in terms of quality of content. Originality/value It is the first study of its kind that takes into account the nature of content on major global problems retrieved by the Google Scholar. It is also the first study that used bibliometric analysis to evaluate the quality of results retrieved.

In this Research Commentary, we describe 3 journal metrics–the Web of Science's Impact Factor, Scopus's SCImago Journal Rank, and Google Scholar Metrics' h5-index—and compile the rankings (if they exist) for 69 mathematics education journals. We then discuss 2 paths that the mathematics education community should consider with regard to these citation-based metrics of journal quality: either working within the system to enhance our positioning or resisting or modifying the system itself.

Purpose Employee suggestion scheme (ESS) have existed for many years and many articles have been published over the past decades. They have been studied from many perspectives to illustrate their objectives, nature, content, process, significance and the benefits. Arguments have also been made with respect to success and failures of the suggestion schemes. Although the corporations widely use the suggestion schemes to elicit the creative ideas of their employees, sustaining a suggestion scheme is still a challenge. The purpose of this paper is to extract the critical success factors and critical success criteria to the suggestion scheme and to discuss the importance of these factors on sustainability of suggestion system. This is a literature review paper. Design/methodology/approach This is a literature review paper. The research used the university library to search for the relevant material. The university has an access for 25,000 journals. As the university had the subscription to main databases such as EBASCO, SCIENCE DIRECT, EMERALD, Google Scholar and WILEY, a search was performed on these databases using the key terms. The keywords used in the searches included: Suggestion System, Suggestion Scheme, Employee Participation, Employee Involvement, Innovation, Employee Creativity and Ideas Management. The Google Scholar citation tab was also searched further to identify any related articles. The citations of resulting articles were scrutinized further for further clues. Findings This paper identifies 23 critical success factors and 9 critical success criteria for suggestion schemes. It also discusses the interconnection between the critical success factors and the critical success criteria. Further, the frequency of each of the factors is also presented. It recognizes the lack of work on the assessment framework for sustainability of a suggestion scheme. Practical implications This paper should be of value to practitioners of suggestion schemes and to academics who are interested in knowing how this program has evolved and where it is today and what future it holds. It offers practical help to an individual starting out on research on the sustainability of suggestion schemes. Originality/value The paper attempts to put together many factors discussed in the literature and proposed a definition to define the sustainability of the suggestion system and categorized them as critical success factors and critical success criteria.

Purpose. The aim of this article is to acquire as much knowledge as possible on the changing impact factor of publications in “Folia Turistica” („FT”) in 1990-2016, the subjects of these works, the most frequently cited articles, and their authors. The aim is also to explore the works citing the articles in the periodical (including the time and countries in which they were written, their subjects, authors, and the sources of the publications). Method. The analysis was conducted from 4 February to 8 March 2019, using Google Scholar and the Scopus and Web of Science (Core Collection) databases. The data acquired was processed using statistical methods. Findings. The analyses found the numbers of citations of articles published in FT and the sum total of citations of published works in 1990-2016 in sources indexed in Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. This allowed us to establish the changing percentage of citations over the years and the average impact of articles published in various issues of the journal. Based on the data from the analyzed sources, an h-index was established for the journal, with the most frequently cited articles and their fields, as well as the most frequently cited authors of works of articles published in the relevant period. Data collected at Web of Science and Scopus allowed us to establish the number of references to articles published in „FT”, appearing in various years, titles, authors, sources, and fields, and the most often quoted publications published in „FT” and the countries with which these publications were affiliated. Research and conclusions limitations. The analysis concerns citations in Google Scholar and the Scopus and Web of Science (Core Collection) databases, accessed 8 March 2019 and limited to articles published in “Folia Turistica” in period 1990-2016. Practical implications. This analysis could be a source of information for defining the later publishing policies of “Folia Turistica” and a basis for future comparative analyses. Originality. This is the first analysis of citations of articles published in “Folia Turistica”. Type of work. This article presents the results of empirical studies.

En Psychiatrie, comme dans les autres disciplines, la transmission des connaissances s’est considérablement accrue avec le numérique. Cependant, l’abondance des informations nécessite un minimum de méthode pour trouver des informations pertinentes, notamment en matière de médecine fondée sur les preuves. Par exemple, pour mener une recherche bibliographique sur Internet, le choix des bases de données est primordial. Google n’est pas suffisant, 40 % seulement des informations médicales sur ce moteur de recherche étant fiables . Les bases de données les plus performantes sont PubMed (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/), Google scholar (www. scholar.google.fr), Cochrane database of systematic reviews (www.cochrane.org/), Psycinfo, de l’American Psychological Association (www.apa.org/pubs/databases/psycinfo/), clinicaltrials.gov. Le choix des mots-clés nécessite de recourir à des thesaurus, par exemple celui de l’Index Medicus (MeSH sur PubMed). Il est ensuite nécessaire de trier et d’hiérarchiser les informations, par exemple par discipline, par sujet, par Impact Factor des revues médicales ou par niveaux de preuve (méta-analyses, revues systématiques, études randomisées, études de cohorte, études cas–témoins transversales, études de cas). PubMed et Google proposent des systèmes d’alertes par mots clés choisis par les utilisateurs. Un autre exemple de transmission des connaissances est le développement du numérique dans la formation de base et la formation continue . En médecine, comme ailleurs, les formations massives en ligne ont fait leur apparition (massive open online course ou MOOC) . Les vidéos de cours se sont développées, prenant en compte les besoins individuels et des possibilités nouvelles d’interactions collectives : diaporamas, quiz, jeux sérieux, univers virtuels, forums pour poser des questions aux enseignants . Des référentiels d’enseignement en Psychiatrie de l’adulte, Psychiatrie de l’enfant et de l’adolescent et addictologie sont maintenant disponibles pour les étudiants en Médecine, par exemple le Référentiel de Psychiatrie du Collège national des universitaires en psychiatrie et de l’Association pour l’enseignement de la sémiologie psychiatrique (http://www.asso-aesp.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ECN-referentiel-de-psychiatrie.pdf).
