Author Self-Citation in the Turkish Otorhinolaryngology Literature
No full textObjective:To evaluate the prevalence and other characteristics of author self-citations in six Turkey-originated general otorhinolaryngology (ORL) journals of Turkish ORL literature.Methods:A total of 970 articles published in six Turkey-originated general ORL journals (ENT Updates, Journal of Ear Nose Throat and Head Neck Surgery, KBB-Forum, Praxis of Otorhinolaryngology, The Turkish Journal of Ear Nose and Throat, and Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology) in 2016-2020 were analyzed for author self-citations. The association between author self-citations and journal types, study types, study topics, country of origin, and compatibility with the topic were also evaluated.Results:There were 265 author self-citations (0.273 per article) which corresponded to 1.36% of all citations. There was no significant difference between the journal types, study topics, and origin of the studies in terms of mean self-citation values per study, whereas case reports had significantly lower self-citations than review and original investigations. There were three citations (1.1%) that were irrelevant to the study topic.Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that investigated the practice of author self-citation in Turkish ORL literature. Author self-citation rate in the Turkish-originated general ORL journals was found remarkably lower than the medical literature, whereas the self-citations were found compatible with the study topic to a very large extent. Members of the scientific community including authors, readers, and journal editors should be cautious regarding the unethical practices of self-citations
Comments on low mass dissociation at the LHC in the context of the discrepancy between the ATLAS and TOTEM measurements of
No full textThe cross section for low mass dissociation at LHC energies is estimated in a
partly data driven approach. The result is compared to the Monte Carlo estimate
from the QGSJET-II-03 model used by the TOTEM experiment in the determination
of via the luminosity-independent method. Significant
differences are found and possible consequences are explored and discussed.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
The high luminosity upgrade from an ATLAS perspective. (contribution to the LHC-LUMI-06 workshop in Valencia)
No full textThe Super LHC will operate at a luminosity about ten times that of LHC. A short summary of issues related to the corresponding upgrade of ATLAS is given. The implications for ATLAS for some of the proposed machine upgrade scenarios are discussed, including the possibilities to integrate magnets inside ATLAS

The total cross section for proton-proton interactions at the FCC
No full textThe lower and upper limits of the total cross section () at the
projected FCC-hh have been estimated. A lower limit has been estimated using
dispersion relations in combination with recent LHC data of and
the -parameter. The upper limit has been estimated using the standard
evolution of . Some models giving values in between
those limits are also discussed
Measurement of the total cross-section and soft diffraction by the ATLAS and TOTEM experiments at the LHC
No full textThis paper reviews measurements of the total proton–proton cross-section at 7 TeV and 8 TeV by the ATLAS and TOTEM collaboration at the LHC. Similarities and differences between the two experiments are discussed. Some results on soft diffraction are also reviewed. The paper ends with a discussion of prospects and future plans of both experiments
