BACKGROUND Local and regional scientific journals are important factors in bridging gaps in health knowledge translation in low-and middle-income countries. We assessed indexing, citations and publishing standards of journals from the Eastern Mediterranean region. METHODS For journals from 22 countries in the collection of the Index Medicus for the Eastern Mediterranean Region (IMEMR), we ana...

Common Map of Academia (COMAC) is a system that keeps information about scientists and publications. It uses bibliographical information as a source of knowledge. In the article we show briefly this system. We present how we used that system for parts of Polish national CRIS: Polish national bibliography and newly created PolIndex – polish citation index. We present algorithms used for enhancin...

MEDLINE is one of the most important bibliographical information sources for biologists and medical workers. Its PubMed interface supports Boolean queries, which are potentially expressive and exact. However, PubMed is also designed to support simplicity of use at the expense of query expressiveness and exactness. Many PubMed users have never tried explicit Boolean queries. We developed a Java ...

I describe the challenges involved in designing and evaluating high assurance, verifiable voting systems. I describe the Pret a Voter scheme that provides voterverifiablity with minimal trust in officials, software etc. I also describe a number of threats against voting schemes and the extent to which they apply to the basic Pret a Voter scheme. Some enhancements to the scheme designed to count...

Building trustworthy (dependable) systems is a major challenge faced by software developers. To this end, various fault tolerance mechanisms have been developed by researchers and used in industry. Unfortunately, more often than not these solutions ignore earlier development phases most importantly, the architecture design to exclusively focus on the implementation instead. This creates a dange...

P (http://www.pubmed.gov) is the worldwide best known and accessed service for biomedical researchers. Since 1997 MEDLINE, the bibliographical database edited by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, with its over 17 million citations from about 5 000 journals in 37 languages from all over the world, became freely accessible via web. MEDLINE is the core of PubMed, but in the latest years PubMe...

Selections of most important journals in the field of tropical medicine have previously been identified with the help of resources such as bibliographical and citation databases. This article uses ISI's Journal Citation Reports (JSR) for 2002 to analyse the citation characteristics of the Tropical Medicine category. According to these data, this small but diverse group of 12 journals bestows so...

A sample containing 1,373 citations were taken from three American and three French agronomic journals and analyzed to provide information on the age, languages, origins, and types of literature used by American and French agronomists. Of the American citations, 97.7% were in English and 77.5% were of North American origin. French agronomists used a significantly higher proportion of literature...
