Background: Undergraduate research journals are a popular mechanism for inducting students into research, communication, and publication facets of academia. A thematic review of 17 review papers found little evidence for journal impact. Methods: A scoping review identified 91 journals. A systematic search identified the journal website, its International Standard Serial Number (if any), its citation rate on Google Scholar, its start year and end year (if applicable). Results: Seventy-five journals had both a Google Scholar h-index and a discoverable start year. Sixty-eight had been cited one or more times. The median h-index was 2, mode was h = 1, and the average h-index = 4.38. Correlation with start year was not statistically significant, neither was content field of journals. Conclusions: Surprisingly, almost all currently published journals have been cited at least once, showing that undergraduate research journals have some impact on the scholarly world. Further analyses are suggested to examine career impact of publication on students and faculty.

Dari semua artikel yang didapat hampir semunya menggunakan penelitian kuantitatif sehingga peneliti menyarankan kepada peneliti selanjutkan untuk menggunakan metode kualitatif atau mixed metode. Jika ingin menggunakan metode peneliti menyarankan menggunakan design kuasi ekperimen yang bertujuan untuk mengatasi dan mencegah terjadi PTSD. Kata kunci: Stres orang tua, Psikologis anak, Pandemi COVID-19, Mental health AbstractEven one year, the COVID-19 pandemic has occurred. One of them has a significant impact on mental health for parents and children, affects changes in family function, and raises the risk of the posttraumatic syndrome. This study aims to find gaps and novelty related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of parents and children. This study is a literature review was conducted on March 1 - April 7, 2021, with the PRISMA model flow chart. The researcher uses a publish or perish application for search article. The search for articles through the publish or perish application by searching through three databases, namely crossref, google scholar, and PubMed, obtained 1216 data in the form of research articles, books, letters to editors, and review sheets article. While searching for data through registers, the researcher used a directly registered record and obtained 339 data in scientific papers and letters to editors. The final results were 15 articles from the 30 articles reviewed from the three stages of the database search process. The methodological review of 15 articles showed that almost all articles used the quantitative method, including 14 articles and 1 article using the Mix method. From the assessment of the contents of the research results, there are three major categories: behavioural changes, emotional and psychological changes, and health impacts. Of all the articles obtained, almost all of them use quantitative research, so researchers suggest that further researchers use qualitative or mixed methods. Researchers recommend using a quasi-experimental design that aims to overcome and prevent PTSD from occurring if you want to use the technique. Keywords: Parental stress, Child psychology, COVID-19 pandemic, Mental health

LATAR BELAKANG Kekerasan terhadap perempuan, terutama kekerasan pada pasangan dan kekerasan seksual adalah masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang utama dan merupakan pelanggaran terhadap hak asasi perempuan. Data yang diterbitkan oleh WHO (2018) menunjukkan bahwa sekitar 1 dari 3 (35%) perempuan di seluruh dunia telah mengalami kekerasan. Hal ini semakin bertambah selama masa pandemi COVID-19 yang terjadi hampir di seluruh belahan dunia.  Pembatasan sosial yang dilakukan selama masa pandemi ini berdampak pada perekonomian, membuat ekonomi keluarga terpuruk, dan berimbas pada situasi dan kondisi perempuan. Segala kegiatan yang terpusat di rumah membuat beban domestik yang sangat besar bagi perempuan, mulai dari mengurus rumah hingga memastikan anak-anak mengakses pendidikan dari rumah.TUJUAN Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kejadian kekerasan pada perempuan yang terjadi selama masa pandemi COVID-19 .METODE Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan narrative review. Artikel yang digunakan pada studi ini diambil dari Google Scholar dan Pubmed dengan total artikel yang sesuai dengan kriteria adalah 10 artikel. Semua artikel yang digunakan dalam studi ini berasal dari tahun 2020.HASIL Terdapat peningkatan kejadian kekerasan pada perempuan. Dampak kekerasan perempuan dapat mempengaruhi di gangguan reproduksi seperti ketidakteraturan menstruasi, dan gangguan dalam proses kehamilan, dan gangguan mental seperti munculnya kecemasan, takut, letih, dan stress, bahkan tidak jarang berdampak pada gangguan makan dan tidurKESIMPULAN Kekerasan yang terjadi pada perempuan ini semakin meningkat seiring dengan semakin lamanya pandemi COVID-19 ini berlangsung. Hal ini dikarenakan pembatasan sosial yang diterapkan untuk mengurangi penyebaran dari pandemi ini menyebabkan perempuan dan pasangan harus menetap dalam satu rumah dan tidak dapat menghindarinya. Untuk itu, manajemen emosional sangat diperlukan untuk meminimalisir kejadian kekerasan pada perempuan ini.  Kata Kunci: pandemi COVID-19, Kekerasan pada Perempuan  Abstract Background: Violence against women, especially violence against partners and sexual violence is a major public health problem and one of a violation of women's human rights. According to WHO (2018) emphasized that around 1 in 3 (35%) women worldwide have experienced violence. Furthermore, this increased during the COVID-19 pandemic which occurred in almost all parts of the world. The social restrictions imposed during the pandemic have an impact on the economy, making the family economy worse, and impacting the situation and condition of women. All activities centered at home create a huge domestic burden for women, from managing the house to making sure children access education from home.Aim: This study aimed to analyze the incidence of violence against women that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.Method: This study used a narrative review approach. The articles used in this study were taken from Google Scholar and also Pubmed with a total of 10 articles that fit the criteria. All articles used in this study date from 2020.Result: There is an increase in the incidence of violence against women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of violence on women can affect reproductive disorders such as menstrual irregularities, and disorders in the process of pregnancy, and mental disorders such as the emergence of anxiety, fear, fatigue, and stress, even not infrequently have an impact on eating and sleep disorders.Conclusion: The violence that occurred in these women increased along with the length of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is because the social restrictions that are implemented to reduce the spread of this pandemic cause women and couples to settle in one house and cannot avoid it. Therefore, emotional management is needed to minimize the incidence of violence against women during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Kata Kunci: the COVID-19 pandemic, violence against women

Abstract The Aim of this scoping review was to explore the available literature on volunteerism in adolescence and the benefits that this activity may report in their healthy development, from a salutogenic perspective. Searches were conducted in Pubmed, Cinahl, PsycINFO and Cochrane Library home databases; 15 articles were selected. Almost all of the studies were conducted in the United States between 1990 and 2000, primarily developed by psychologists and sociologists. The impact of volunteering was reflected in aspects that can be classified based on Lerner's dimensions of the PYD model. Volunteer activities promote an Improved academic, social, cognitive, and vocational competence in adolescents. An increase in conflict resolution capacity, leadership and personal agency, as well as improved pro-social attitudes and relationships with adults and peers, all of which contributed to their self-identification with the community. Moreover, increased positive development of adolescents reduces the rates of risky behaviors. Volunteerism may represent an opportunity for health promotion in adolescence. The concept of volunteering as an asset for health promotion during adolescence evokes the need to adopt and favor this view with regard to key areas of study associated with this stage such as education and health. Teams that work in community health, especially those in primary care, should recognize and value existing volunteer groups as an asset to promote the healthy development of adolescents. Friendlier health services should be encouraged that include comprehensive services from within educational institutions to community actions.

Restoration ecology is a rapidly growing field of research. The statistical analyses and experimental designs used in this field have likely also expanded. In this review, the statistical scope of the restoration ecology of invaded grasslands will be investigated. A systematic review was conducted on 103 articles to examine the types of statistical tests used and how they changed over time, if assumptions are tested, and how the number of statistical tests and the experimental design influence both the citation rate of articles and the impact factor of journals where these articles are published. ANOVAs have consistently been the dominant test. Statistical test diversity has increased since the year 2000. Most articles did test the assumptions of statistical analyses. The number of tests, and sample size of experiments are both positively correlated with the average citation rate of articles and the impact factor of the journal while the number of factors was negatively correlated. GLMs are recommended as a statistical test to be used more frequently in the future over ANOVAs. There is room for improvement in terms of reporting statistics accurately, including testing assumptions. When possible, sample sizes should be increased to both increase the quality of data, and the citation rate and the journal impact where articles are published. When possible and appropriate, sample sizes and the number of statistical tests should be increased. Adding factors in experimental designs should only be done so without compromising sample size as it has been shown to hinder the citation rate and journal impact.

Abstract Almost all hospitals are equipped with air-conditioning systems to provide a comfortable environment for patients and staff. However, the accumulation of dust and moisture within these systems increases the risk of transmission of microbes and have on occasion been associated with outbreaks of infection. Nevertheless, the impact of air-conditioning on the transmission of microorganisms leading to infection remains largely uncertain. We conducted a scoping review to screen systematically the evidence for such an association in the face of the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic. PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases were explored for relevant studies addressing microbial contamination of the air, their transmission and association with infectious diseases. The review process yielded 21 publications, 17 of which were cross-sectional studies, three were cohort studies and one case−control study. Our analysis showed that, compared with naturally ventilated areas, microbial loads were significantly lower in air-conditioned areas, but the incidence of infections increased if not properly managed. The use of high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration not only decreased transmission of airborne bioaerosols and various microorganisms, but also reduced the risk of infections. By contrast, contaminated air-conditioning systems in hospital rooms were associated with a higher risk of patient infection. Cleaning and maintenance of such systems to recommended standards should be performed regularly and where appropriate, the installation of HEPA filters can effectively mitigate microbial contamination in the public areas of hospitals.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the evolution in notions from bibliometrics to altmetrics and confront them taking into consideration specific criteria. The objective of this paper is to present the evolution of research, regarding the above fields, the study of metrics and indicators used, and the strength and weaknesses resulting from the current literature. Furthermore, the authors present the manipulation techniques for both fields as their main weakness, as well as further key points, analyzing the alternative options of bibliometrics and altmetrics. Design/methodology/approach First, the authors present the evolution of the literature, concerning the specific field and metrics used, following with a brief description of basic indicators related to the field of bibliometrics (journal impact factor (JIF), eigenfactor, article influence score and h-index) discussing their advantages and disadvantages. In the second part, the authors describe altmetrics and present the differences with bibliometrics. Findings Both bibliometrics and altmetrics remain weak indicators as fraught with disadvantages with manipulation being the greatest of all. Nevertheless, the combination of the two is proposed in order to export safer conclusions on assessing the impact. Regarding the manipulation there is yet not a clean technique to eliminate manipulation. In specific, regarding bibliometrics, the manipulation of indicators refers only to the human factor intervention. The theoretical implication of this study constitutes of collecting the relevant literature regarding scientific indicators. Research limitations/implications We must consider the study of new indicators, which combine metrics and methodologies used in both bibliometrics and altmetrics. The theoretical implication of this study constitutes of collecting the relevant literature regarding scientific indicators. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the proposed propositions further. Practical implications The practical contribution, on the other side, provides scholars with the knowledge of how making their work more accessible, increasing their impact. Originality/value The authors add to the originality by providing a framework of the relevant literature for bibliometrics and altmetrics for future researchers. The authors describe altmetrics and present the differences with bibliometrics. The authors conclude the research with the implications of the conducted analysis and the potential directions for future research. Regarding manipulation, the authors provide with the techniques so researchers are aware of the methods in order to protect their academic profile.

Nowadays, the h-index is an index that attempts to measure both the productivity and impact of the published work of a scientist or scholar. The index is based upon the set of the scientist's most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other publications. Besides, the most commonly used measure of journal quality is Impact Factor. This is a number which attempts to measure the impact of a journal in terms of the average number of citations to recent articles published in the journal. So, receiving more citation is very important for authors and journals to get high h-index and impact factor. In this paper, we tried to analyses the effect of the number of available version from the web on receive more citations. We analyzed 10162 papers which are published in Scopus database in year 2010. Then we developed a software to collect the number of citations and versions of each paper from Google Scholar automatically.

Traditional interpretations of homelessness focus on people living on the streets or in shelters. However, homelessness encompasses many more living situations. This article reports on a scoping review of studies on hidden homelessness. A systematic search in scientific databanks was combined with an exploration of Google Scholar. The results of the review reveal a lack of consensus regarding the definition of the concept. Moreover, since most studies focus on a certain subgroup in the population, it is hard to compare profile characteristics of people living in different forms of homelessness. The applied research methods prove to be valuable, although they often underestimate the number and/or character of the phenomena. Very little longitudinal research on hidden homelessness seems to be available. Based on the findings of the scoping review, the article draws up an agenda for further research in order to capture the complex reality of contemporary forms of homelessness.
