BioMEMS: Forging New Collaborations Between Biologists and Engineers
Published on: November 1, 2007
Summary
Iranian researchers
Area of Science:
- Biomedical research ethics
- Scholarly publishing standards
Background:
- Biomedical journals widely use International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) authorship criteria.
- Awareness of ICMJE criteria among Iranian researchers is not well-documented.
Purpose of the Study:
- Evaluate adherence to ICMJE authorship criteria among Iranian researchers.
- Determine author contributions in the Archives of Iranian Medicine (AIM) journal.
Main Methods:
- Analyzed author bylines from 12 issues of AIM (Jan 2005-Oct 2007).
- Surveyed corresponding authors on authorship criteria and contribution.
- Assessed 296 researchers' names for ICMJE criterion fulfillment.
Main Results:
- 62.83% of evaluated authors met ICMJE criteria.
- 37.17% were guest authors, and 0.67% were ghost authors.
- Author order was primarily based on research participation and article writing, decided by corresponding authors.
Conclusions:
- Iranian researchers need greater awareness of ICMJE authorship criteria.
- Encouraging the application of these criteria in scientific writing is crucial.

01:12Isotopes
Elements have a set number of protons that determines their atomic number (Z). For example, all atoms with eight protons are oxygen; however, the number of neutrons can vary for atoms of the same element. The sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the mass number (A). Atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers are called isotopes. Elements can have multiple isotopes, for example, carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14.

00:58Symbiosis
Symbiotic relationships are long-term, close interactions between individuals of different species that affect the distribution and abundance of those species. When a relationship is beneficial to both species, this is called mutualism. When the relationship is beneficial to one species but neither beneficial nor harmful to the other species, this is called commensalism. When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

Overview
01:03Communication
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.
01:20Mate Choice
Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.
01:07Cohesion
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same type, such as water molecules. Water molecules have an overall neutral charge but are polar molecule. An oxygen atom in one water molecule has a partial negative charge that can bind to a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge in a second water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule can form up to four hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's cohesive nature.
