In response to the marked increase in research activity and publications in multifunctional materials and structures in the last few years, this article is an attempt to identify the topics that are most relevant to multifunctional composite materials and structures and review representative journal publications that are related to those topics.
In view of the significant increase in research activity and publications in functionally graded materials (FGMs) and structures in the last few years, the present article is an attempt to identify and highlight the topics that are most relevant to FGMs and structures and review representative journal publications that are related to those topics.
The Bamako Call for Action on Research for Health [ 1] arose from a meeting of Ministers of Health, Education, Science & Technology, Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, from 59 countries; as well as researchers, policy makers, civil society representatives, journal editors and development agencies.
Using an online survey, we asked safety researchers around the globe how they perceived the quality of a list of 35 representative safety journals.
The paper consists of two parts: a) the investigation, presentation and elaboration of the main risk-assessment methodologies and b) the statistical analysis, classification, and comparative study of the corresponding scientific papers published by six representative scientific journals of Elsevier B.V. covering the decade 2000 2009.
However, this study looks at a high impact general journal, which is unlikely to be representative for specialist journals that publish the majority of clinical trials.
It was with the goal of strengthening such approaches in the biomedical sciences that a group of editors representing over 30 major journals, representatives from funding agencies, and scientific leaders assembled at the AAAS headquarters in June of 2014 to discuss principles and guidelines for preclinical biomedical research.
Our team included a range of stakeholders (scientists, policy makers, research funding agency representatives and journal editors) involved in knowledge translation research.
Interview informants mentioned that the evidence-based approach adopted by academic detailing had led them to more critically evaluate information from other CME programs, pharmaceutical representatives, and journal articles, but not advice from specialists.
Other selection criteria were a representative distribution of journals and an equal distribution of studies between the second reviewers.
