INTRODUCTION Our aim was to investigate if: (a) authors of Biochemia Medica meet authorship criteria given by International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), (b) authorship violations are more frequent in submissions containing some type of scientific misconduct. MATERIALS AND METHODS Self-reported authorship contributions regarding the three ICMJE criteria were analysed for all s...

The publication of Vannevar Bush’s seminal paper, As we may think, in 1945 was closely followed by the invention of the electronic digital computer in 1948. In the following 50 years much of Bush’s vision has been realised by computer scientists. We can store vast amounts of data including speech and video in computers, and we can transmit them over networks. We can annotate the material with e...

The article describes the process of creating a universal computerized recognition system of historical manuscripts, including historical shorthand records dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. We discuss the problem of getting the original graphical representation of symbols from historical manuscripts using a threshold binarization method. We search for a similar graphical represe...

BACKGROUND Publication bias is generally ascribed to authors and sponsors failing to submit studies with negative results, but may also occur after submission. We evaluated whether submitted manuscripts on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with drugs are more likely to be accepted if they report positive results. METHODS Manuscripts submitted from January 2010 through April 2012 to one gene...

Manuscripts have a complex development process with multiple influencing factors. Reconstructing this is difficult without large-scale, comparable data on different versions of manuscripts. Preprints are increasingly available and may provide access to the earliest manuscript versions. Here, we matched 6,024 preprint-publication pairs across fields examined changes in their reference lists betw...

should follow the title page. It should be structured with background, methods, results and conclusion. The Middle East of Anesthesiology publishes original work in the fields of anesthesiology, intensive care, pain, and emergency medicine. This includes clinical or laboratory investigations, review articles, case reports and letters to the Editor. Submission of manuscripts: The Middle East Jou...

made remarkable progress. In 2008, it was listed as an Asian regional orthodontic journal in the Science Citation Index (SCI). In 2010, only 70 manuscripts were submitted to the KJO. However, currently, 300 manuscripts are being submitted annually. Over 100 domestic and foreign reviewers assess the manuscripts. Their expertise, dedication, and uncompromising demand for scientific sophistication...

Editorial correspondence should be addressed to SCIENCE, 1515 Massachusetts Ave., NW Washington 5, D.C. Manuscripts should be typed with double spacing and submitted in duplicate. The AAAS assumes no responsibility for the safety of manuscripts. Opinions expressed by authors are their own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the AAAS or the institutions with which the authors are affi...

The aim of this study is to explore how we could use computational technology to help determination of the chronology of music manuscripts. Applying a battery of techniques to Bach’s manuscripts reveals the limitation in current image processing techniques, thereby clarifying future tasks. Analysis of C-clefs, the chosen musical symbol for this study, extracted from Bach’s manuscripts dating fr...

Convenient access to handwritten historical document collections in libraries generally requires an index, which allows one to locate individual text units (pages, sentences, lines) that are relevant to a given query (usually provided as text). Currently, extensive manual labor is used to annotate and organize such collections, because handwriting recognition approaches provide only poor result...
