Brainstorming Questions (discussion) What information/data do you need to do your work more efficiently/effectively? Where do you look for the above information? Are you satisfied with the quality/quantity of information available? 04 July 2017

For further information on all four programs, go to the url listed at the top of this slide. Each program has the same eligibility but your institution must register for each program separately. 04 July 2017

Goals of Research4Life Programmes (R4L) To connect developing world researchers with the international scientific community To reduce the ‘publishing gap’ and improve the quality of locally produced articles and journals Ultimately – improve health, food security environment, and development in relation to U.N.’s 2015 – 2300 Sustainability Development Goals Available in 115 countries, areas & territories These goals facilitate two way communication between researchers/publishers in the developed and developing world. 04 July 2017

Primary Target Audiences Eligible categories of institutions are: national universities professional schools (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, dentistry) research institutes teaching hospitals government: ministries and agencies national medical libraries locally based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) All permanent and visiting faculty, staff members and students are entitled to access and can obtain the institutional User Name and Password. Recently, eligibility for not-for-profit agencies has been broadened. Those primarily funded by or affiliated with international agencies or non-governmental organizations are not eligible. 04 July 2017

Who is eligible for R4L Programmes: 116 - total number of countries/areas/territories Note the blue for Group A and Orange for Group B. 04 July 2017

Eligibility (01 2014) Countries, areas, or territories with a total GNI above US$ 1 trillion are not eligible for HINARI regardless of other factors 2. Core Offer Group A - Free Access  All countries, areas, or territories fulfilling any of the below criteria: a. UN Least Developed Country List and/or b. Human Development Index (HDI) is at or less than 0.50 and/or c. Total Gross National Income (GNI) is at or less than US$ 150 billion where: 1. HDI is at or less than 0.63 and/or 2. Gross National Income per capita (GNIpc) is at or less than US$ 1600 Initially, the GNI levels were $1000 for Group A and $1000-3000 for Group B. In 2008, these levels were increased to reflect inflation since the beginning of the programmes in 2002. In January 2012, the human development index has been added. Consequently, 17 countries moved from Group B to Group A. In 2015, the Group B annual fee was increased from $1000 to $15000 per institution. The one fee will grant access to all R4L programmes registered for – although each institution must register individually for the four programmes. . 04 July 2017

3. Core Offer Group B - Fee access with $1500 annual fee per institution: a. Total GNI is at or less than US$ 1 billion and/or b. Total GNI is at or less than US$ 20 billion where GNIpc is at or less than US$10,000 and/or c. Total GNI is at or less than US$ 180 billion where: 1. HDI is at or less than 0.67 and/or 2. GNIpc is at or less than US$ 6000 04 July 2017

Why Use E-Resources? An up-to-date resource Convenience Extra features—e.g. search facilities, links to other databases, supplementary information Access to a wider range of material than might otherwise be available within the local medical library What type of Information does the Internet contain? Bibliographic Information in the form of Library catalogs Multimedia – Audio, Video and graphical sources of information . Reference tools such as Encyclopedias, Dictionaries , Handbooks and others. Journals, Newspapers & Magazines, and Databases 04 July 2017

Electronic Journal Formats Full-text/whole journal available Electronic version of print Electronic only Partial full-text/selected articles only Table of contents/citations/abstracts only Citations only 04 July 2017

Types of Electronic Journals Academic Refereed journals Review journals Bulletins Non-academic Magazines Newspapers 04 July 2017

Refereed journals Example: JAMA: Journal of the American Medical Association Used to: disseminate research findings find out about research by others in your field identify methodologies for your own work Features written by researchers and experts aimed at researchers and experts articles always cite sources peer reviewed Strengths/weaknesses high-quality, reliable information may be slow to be published due to review process often fee-based access/may be available via HINARI Electronic academic journals are nearly the same as traditional print academic journals that we are all familiar with and serve the same purposes of disseminating information, etc. The electronic medium does give the chance of journals getting a much wider audience plus includes enhanced tools such as including hypertext links. 04 July 2017

This is an example of a peer reviewed/refereed journal This is an example of a peer reviewed/refereed journal. Note the links to the PDFs of the articles. 04 July 2017

Review journals Example: Reviews in Clinical Gerontology Features: reviews give an overview of the current literature in a specific research area or discipline titles usually contain ‘Review’, ‘Reviews’, ‘Advances in’, ‘Current opinion in’, ‘Progress in’, ‘Trends in’ have already done much of the literature searching for you may be available via HINARI These kinds of resources are very useful IF there are journals available in your subject area – they often provide an excellent set of links and references to the latest and most important information in a discipline. 04 July 2017

04 July 2017

Bulletins Example: None – R4L Programmes have Peer Reviewed Journals and Bulletins do not qualify Used for: making announcements to a specific audience up-to-date information in a very specific area Features written by in-house staff, or staff writers may be issued as required, sometimes intermittently contain short reports Strengths/weaknesses very up-to-date standard very variable Useful for keeping up to date with recent developments, what is available, where it can be found, etc. 04 July 2017

Non-academic resources Magazines entertainment, information about popular culture, product information easy to read, entertaining, information is lightweight and not always reliable Newspapers up-to-the minute information, current affairs, debate can be valuable sources of certain kinds of information but inherent problems of all newspapers These kinds of resources may be less relevant to those in need of health information but are still worth knowing about. Research4Life offers indexed, scientific, peer-reviewed literature. "Grey literature" is not included:  thesis, reports from international, governmental and non-governmental agencies plus bulletins, magazines and newspapers.  04 July 2017

Journal Impact Factor calculated yearly for journals indexed in Thomson’s Journal Citation Reports  is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to articles published in science and social science journals used as a measure for the relative importance of a journal within its field; journals with higher impact factors are deemed to be more important than those with lower ones #s vary widely among fields; the ‘narrower’ the field, the lower the impact factor of journals tends to be Many journals list their Journal Impact Factor especially if it is high for their subject group. This is a tool that can be useful for knowing the usefulness of a specific journal. 04 July 2017

Impact Factor for a 2010 journal Is the average number of times published papers ‘are cited’ up to two years after publication A = the number of times articles published in 2008-9 were cited in indexed journals during 2010 B = the number of ‘citable items’ published in 2008- 2009 within a discipline; citable items are usually articles, reviews, proceedings, or notes; not editorials or Letters-to-the-Editor impact factor 2010 = A/B ( published in 2011) 04 July 2017

Journal Impact Factor - Issues percentage of total citations occurring in the first two years after publication varies highly by discipline (higher in biological sciences) citations to an article often are made in papers written by the author(s) of the original article journal can adopt editorial policies that increase its impact factor e.g. editorials (not citable) vs. short original articles (citable); plus review articles are cited more often Impact Factor scores can ‘influence’ promotion and tenure at universities throughout the world 04 July 2017
