Altmetrics analysis of Archivos de Bronconeumología from 2014 to 2018
2019
Introduction: Alternative metrics or altmetrics are non-traditional measurements of scientific production that reflect a publication's influence in social networks and similar channels of dissemination. The aim of this study was to analyze the media impact of ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGÍA according to 2 altmetric aggregators and website visits. Methods: This was an observational study of the original articles and review and consensus articles published in ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGÍA during the period 2014-2018. Data from the PlumX Metrics and Altmetric aggregators and visits to the ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGÍA website were analyzed. Five comparisons were made: by specialty area, by funding …
Perceived family cohesion, social support, and quality of life in patients undergoing treatment for substance use disorders compared with patients wi…
2021
Abstract Purpose Support from family and other social network elements can be important in helping patients to cope with practical and emotional consequences of diseases. The aim of the study was to examine perception of family and social support and quality of life (QoL) in patients undergoing treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs). We compared them with patients in treatment for mental disorders (MDs) and physical disorders (PDs). Methods We used data from a national multicenter study that recruited patients (N = 518) from three treatment domains; SUD treatment units, MD treatment units, and PD treatment units (severe neurological conditions or cancer). Data on family cohesion, so…
Utility of social networks and online data collection in nursing research: Analysis of Spanish nurses’ level of knowledge about palliative care
2018
Introduction Internet-based social networks are used by nurses with different purposes, including the creation of working groups and to share and create knowledge. Purpose To evaluate the utility of social networks in the dissemination of an online questionnaire and to measure Spanish RNs’ knowledge about palliative care. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out. Using social networks we distributed an online questionnaire with the Spanish version of Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses (PCQN-SV) throughout August 2015. Results A direct relationship between the number of responses and the questionnaire’s apparitions in each social network was found. Comparing the results obtai…
A prospective study on an innovative online forum for peer reviewing of surgical science
2017
Background Peer review is important to the scientific process. However, the present system has been criticised and accused of bias, lack of transparency, failure to detect significant breakthrough and error. At the British Journal of Surgery (BJS), after surveying authors' and reviewers' opinions on peer review, we piloted an open online forum with the aim of improving the peer review process. Methods In December 2014, a web-based survey assessing attitudes towards open online review was sent to reviewers with a BJS account in Scholar One. From April to June 2015, authors were invited to allow their manuscripts to undergo online peer review in addition to the standard peer review process. T…
ESCR Review: Citizenship and Politics
2020
This chapter describes the analyses and results for the ESRC Domain of Citizenship and Politics, guided by two main questions: How digital technology impacts on our autonomy, agency, and privacy; Whether and how our understanding of citizenship is evolving in the digital age. It first provides an initial overview of the major insights from the literature review and analysis, the Delphi surveys, and workshop discussions about the relevant range of the concepts of citizenship and politics in a digital age. Over time the literature shows a shift from issues of public sphere and use of the Internet by government and candidates to more focus on political participation and engagement, especially …
Joint Topology and Radio Resource Optimization for Device-to-Device Based Mobile Social Networks
2018
In this paper, we consider a joint topology and radio resource optimization for device-to-device (D2D) based mobile social networks. The considered social network is an interest based which is modeled as a d -intersection binomial random graph. The Radio network is also modeled as a random graph where an edge between any two distinct nodes is activated with a certain probability that is equivalent to the probability of exceeding a certain signal to interference ratio for that link. The entire network is then modeled as an intersection graph between the social and radio induced graphs. Thereafter, network topology is optimized such that enabled social edges satisfy certain network connectivi…
Participatory tools and methods for community action. SESPAS Report 2018
2018
Resumen: La participación es un proceso que requiere la implicación de responsables de la política, del personal directivo y técnico de las instituciones, y de la ciudadanía, así como de la acción intersectorial e interdisciplinaria. Para generar cambios transformadores es necesaria una infraestructura que favorezca la participación y la acción planificada, reconociendo a todos los actores del proceso. Se precisan tiempo y compromiso para su continuidad a través de la producción conjunta de acciones, y de ahí la importancia de consolidar proyectos participativos que continúen más allá de los cambios políticos para que los servicios públicos sean sostenibles. La formación, el uso adecuado de…
YouTube and influencers in childhood. Content analysis and educational proposals
2020
RESUMEN: La presencia de las tecnologías móviles e Internet entre los niños y jóvenes está generando nuevos marcos de comprensión, interacción y consumo de medios y contenidos. YouTube se ha convertido en una de las plataformas más utilizadas por estos, lo cual exige investigar las repercusiones ejercidas por estos influencers en los niños. En el presente trabajo se realiza una contextualización teórica sobre el nuevo entorno digital en el que Internet y las redes sociales forman parte indiscutible de la cotidianeidad, para avanzar hacia un marco metodológico y de investigación de los principales YouTubers seguidos por niños/as de Educación Primaria en España. Se ha utilizado una metodologí…
A Study of the Bibliometry and Areas of the Research Groups of Archivos de Bronconeumología (2003–2007)
2010
Introduction Scientific cooperation is essential for the advance of biomedical research. Scientists set up informal groups to work together on common issues, who are the main units in the research funding system. Bibliometric and Social Network Analysis methods allow informal groups in scientific papers to be identified and characterised. The objective of the study is to identify research groups in Archivos de Bronconeumologia between 2003 and 2007 period with the aim of characterizing their scientific collaboration patterns and research areas.
Panel — Assessing Critical Social Theory Research in Information Systems
1997
The Critical Social Theory (CST) program of information systems research is now just over a decade old. Although the number of researchers associated with the CST program are few, they have had a disproportionately larger impact on the field than other research communities. The main reason for this disproportionate impact can be found in the intense and incisive radical critiques of the foundational assumptions of our field that CST researchers have conducted. These radical critiques have helped to open up the theoretical debate on IS research and point out new directions for future inquiry. But as we turn the century, new challenges are emerging. New information technologies (IT) are rapid…
