Summary
Cited reference analysis, common in library science, is applied to atmospheric and oceanic sciences at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Findings show methods are adaptable but institution-specific and require updates.
Area of Science:
- Library and Information Science
- Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
Background:
- Cited reference studies are prevalent in library and information science.
- These studies are infrequently conducted in non-academic settings and specific scientific fields like atmospheric and oceanic sciences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze cited references within the atmospheric and oceanic sciences.
- To assess the applicability of cited reference analysis methods in non-academic institutions.
- To understand the unique referencing behaviors within specific scientific disciplines.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of over 400,000 cited references.
- Focus on authors affiliated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
- Data collection period: 2009–2013.
Main Results:
- Cited reference analysis methods are applicable to research libraries across diverse institutions.
- Referencing patterns are institution-specific, limiting the transferability of findings between organizations.
- Authors' referencing behaviors evolve over time, necessitating periodic updates to analyses.
Conclusions:
- Demonstrates the utility of cited reference analysis in specialized scientific fields and non-academic institutions.
- Highlights the importance of context-specific analysis due to unique institutional referencing practices.
- Recommends regular updates to cited reference analyses to maintain relevance and accuracy.

16.9K
When we take repeated measurements on the same or replicated samples, we will observe inconsistencies in the magnitude. These inconsistencies are called errors. To categorize and characterize these results and their errors, the researcher can use statistical analysis to determine the quality of the measurements and/or suitability of the methods.
One of the most commonly used statistical quantifiers is the mean, which is the ratio between the sum of the numerical values of all results and the...

Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...

The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and...

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...
