These two institutions have the same In = 8, but very different number of published papers in the year 2003 (244 versus 844).
Using 24 specific search terms, researchers identified 34 reports from 17 different sources including published papers, gray literature, unpublished work by epidemiologists, and digital and hard copy review of documents, Demographic Health Surveys (DHS) [ 26], Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS 3) [ 27], and the International Disaster Databases [ 28].
However, this increase can be entirely accounted for by 17 cases where an author has apparently checked the curation status of an earlier publication and completed a voluntary submission shortly after completing a separate author submission in response to being e-mailed about a different, recently published paper.
Differences in the number of studies included into the respective review articles might be explained by (1) different in/exclusion criteria as defined by the authors and (2) a different time frame for published papers.
The broad approach taken to incorporating information from different types of sources (published papers, electronic databases and personal communications) allowed new information to be included, particularly from regions where there were few written accounts.
In many published papers, different methods to detect MRD in AML patients (e.g., multiparameter flow cytometry, WT1 levels, molecular chimerism,…) have been compared, but none emerged as more powerful than another in predicting disease relapse [ 8, 12, 17, 19].
By comparing with the other studies for the different modified PVA membranes in published papers, our composite electrospun fiber membranes (CE-PVA/CS) has proper ionic conductivity, lower methanol permeability, and higher selectivity.
Academics can now organize their research into different sections with places for published papers, drafts, book reviews and conference presentations.
11We do not intend to suggest that published papers meet different quality standards than working papers, given that we are agnostic about the relative quality of the various refereed journals and opt for estimates from working papers in some cases where the published version no longer presents all heterogeneous effect estimates, e.g., Gerfin and Lechner ([2000]).
