RDA (Resources Description and Access): A new standard for digital environment
No full textDigital technologies have changed widely environment of libraries and information centers and other knowledge management organizations. So, these organizations have started designing and keeping of data bases in order to access their recourses. According to nonstop-increasing resources in these data bases and the lack of an international standards which make these resources descriptive and accessible, introducing and representing such standard is necessary. RDA as a new standard for description and access to digital resources has been designed to overcome these problems. It is based on Anglo American Cataloguing Rules (AACR). RDA is a collection of instructions and guidelines which is used to describe and access to all kinds of resources and media.
We will introduce the new international standard, RDA, with a review of previous cataloguing rules in this article. RDA is being surveyed of different aspects as: necessities, structure, and consequence of use, characteristics, goals, strategies, revised and development processes. The outline of this standard will be introduced and surveyed properly.
One of the important results of this paper is that the librarians and information scientists become familiar and aware with RDA and usage of it in libraries and scientific information center
Landslides: visualization of the global conceptual trend
No full textPurpose: This study discovers the global knowledge structure of landslide research over the past twenty years in Researchers' research outputs.Methodology: This study uses co-word analysis to determine and visualize the global structure of landslide knowledge, track the most widely used subjects, and choose the conceptual dynamics in research on landslides. This scientometric method was used to study data from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) regarding 9185 landslide research publications produced from 2000 to 2020.Findings: The keyword “geographic information systems (GIS)” had the highest frequency, and the phrase “landslide susceptibility” was the most often used co-word pair. Co-word analysis produced 15 thematic clusters. Cluster 8 has the highest density among the clusters, and the highest centrality was seen in Cluster 1. Most of the thematic clusters are located in the third quadrant of the strategic diagram, indicating either emerging or declining clusters. The maturity and cohesion of each cluster show their trends. Conclusion: Co-word analysis, as a suitable and powerful tool, can visualize the scientific and intellectual structure of landslides and track the most used topics, and determine the conceptual dynamics and areas of Landslide research, and its results will be of great help to research and practical planners and policymakers. The results of the study significantly help researchers and applied planners and policymakers in adopting appropriate measures to reach more effective solutions in the shortest possible time. Also, develop research evaluation policies, and university managers aimed to create research evaluation policies.Value:The research has also explored the complex relationships governing international studies, illuminates angles, highlights research gaps, and leads scholars and analyses. These results will pave the paths forward for planners and policymakers in organizations and centers actively addressing landslide management’s strategic plans. Subsequent studies could focus on the examination of the networks of collaboration between centers and researchers, and their impacts on decision-making
The Private Cost of Long-Term Care in Canada: Where You Live Matters
No full textCanadians expect the same access to health care whether they are rich or poor, and wherever they live, often without direct charge at the point of service. However, we find that the private cost of long-term care differs greatly across the country, and within provinces, we find substantial variation, depending on income level, marital status, and, in Quebec alone, on assets owned. A non-married person with average income would pay more than twice as much in the Atlantic provinces as in Quebec, while a couple with one in care would pay almost four times as much in Newfoundland as in Alberta.long-term care, private cost
Smart Systems Integration for Autonomous Wireless Communications
No full textIntegration of sensors and wireless transceivers for system networking aims at emerging applications that are highly integrated, self-powered, and low cost, relying on efficient power management schemes to prolong lifetime, thus eliminating the need for batteries as a limited primary source of energy. These applications include: health monitoring and body-area networks, environment and infrastructure monitoring, security, and building automation. Autonomous wireless transmitter sensor nodes that harvest solar energy outdoors and light energy indoors via a solar cell or photovoltaic module are developed for ultra-wideband 3-10 GHz communications. Photovoltaic (PV) antennas are used as both DC power source and radio-frequency (RF) radiator or receptor. Sharing the area consumed by the primary DC power source with the antenna reduces the size and overall cost of the transceiver, resulting in a smarter integrated wireless system. The overall package consists of a temperature sensor, a supercapacitor or a rechargeable battery, DC power management, digital signal processing, analog, RF circuitry, and a PV antenna. One transmitter node uses a single solar cell behaving as a broadband monopole antenna to generate up to 20 mW-peak power outdoors and consumes an average power of 10 µW when transmitting 1 kbps every minute. Other sensor nodes employ a PV dipole antenna for outdoor applications and a flexible PV loop antenna for in an indoor environment, transmitting data packets at 10 kbps with average power consumptions of 15 µW. These sensor nodes are light weight (< 10 g), suitable for portable and wearable applications.MicroelectronicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

Scientific and Professional Performance, Web Presence of Iranian Knowledge and Information Science Academics and Their Publications in Google Scholar, ISCI & Google
No full textWeb presence is one of the areas of research in the field of
webometrics. Due to lack of precise information on the presence of the
Knowledge and Information Science (KIS) faculty members in Iran, this
study aims to address this problem. It studies the level and quality of the
presence of the LIS faculty and its relation to their professional
effectiveness, focusing on their academic and professional performance.
This study is an applied research, taking two approaches: descriptive
survey and webometrics. The study participants are the KIS faculty
members in Iran who hold a PhD degree, have senior lecturer (assistant
professor) position and positions above that, and have scientific
publications and web citations. A checklist was used to collect the webrelated
data on their presence, and a questionnaire was designed to
collect the data on their academic and professional activities. Three
databases were used to collect the web-related data, namely Google,
Google Scholar and the Iran Science Citation Index. The data was
analyzed using statistical analysis and tests of descriptive and
interpretive types. From the web presence perspective, the findings
revealed that besides experienced academics, younger academic
members have remarkable web presence. The findings showed that there
is a meaningful relationship between the level of presence of the studyparticipants and their publications. KIS academics of Ferdowsi University of
Mshhad and Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz have gained highest positions
according to publication web presence in Google. Also, scientific databases, self
citations and university websites have got the first to third ranks in order to
publication web presence themes. In addition, results showed us publishing Farsi
and English articles in credible refereed journals is the most important theme in
scientific and professional performance
The Role of Social Media in the Journals and the Effectiveness of Journals on Social Media: A Comparative Study of Reputable Journals based on OECD Classification
No full textObjective: The purpose of the paper is to study the role of social media in journals and the impact of journals on social media in the six subject areas of OECD.Methodology: This applied research was conducted in 2023 with scientometric indicators and approaches. The research population includes 380 titles from world journals and 41 Iranian journals, which have quartile (Q) and belong to one of the six subject areas of OECD. The data were collected using Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC), InCite, and altmetrics, which were analyzed using Access, Excel, SPSS, and Data wrapper.Findings: The findings showed that medical and natural sciences journals have a higher rank regarding the variety of social media and the frequency of social citations. Twitter, patents, and news agencies are the most important social media. In world journals, there is a strong correlation between the number of received citations and the number of social citations of natural sciences, engineering, medical sciences, agricultural sciences, and humanities journals, and a moderate correlation with social science journals. In Iranian journals, there was a strong correlation between the number of standard and social citations of Iranian journals in engineering and medical sciences. The variety of media used in Iranian journals is lower than that of world journals, and the gap between the social citations of Iranian journals and the world is vast. The United States and Great Britain users are the most social citers on Twitter and Facebook.Conclusion: The results highlight the necessity of familiarizing the country's researchers and research policymakers with the advantage of social media in promoting and highlighting research outputs and improving the country's scientific status in the long term
