Journal of the Medical Library Association : JMLA
|April 11, 2018
Summary
Health sciences librarians should share their research data to promote reproducibility and new analyses. This editorial details developing a data sharing policy for the Journal of the Medical Library Association.
Area of Science:
- Information Science
- Bibliometrics
- Scholarly Communication
Background:
- Advocacy for research data sharing by health sciences librarians and information professionals is established.
- The need for these professionals to exemplify data sharing practices in their own published research is highlighted.
Discussion:
- This editorial outlines the formation and activities of a working group tasked with creating a research data sharing policy.
- The policy development process for the Journal of the Medical Library Association is described.
Key Insights:
- Implementing a research data sharing policy is a crucial step for academic institutions and journals.
- Sharing data enhances research transparency, reproducibility, and facilitates novel data analysis.
Outlook:
- The development of this policy serves as a model for other journals in the health sciences and information fields.
- Continued commitment to data sharing practices will advance the principles of open science and scholarly integrity.

1.2K
Journal bearings are mechanical components that support and provide lateral stability to rotating shafts and axles. They are crucial in reducing friction, wear, and vibration in machinery such as engines, turbines, and pumps. The principle behind journal bearings is forming a thin lubricant film between the bearing surface and the rotating shaft, which minimizes direct contact and reduces frictional forces.

01:27Associative Learning
1.5K
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.

01:21Association Areas of the Cortex
9.5K
Association areas are regions of the cerebral cortex that do not have a specific sensory or motor function. Instead, they integrate and interpret information from various sources to enable higher cognitive processes such as memory, learning, and decision-making. Some key association areas include the following:
Prefrontal Association Area: This area is located in the frontal lobe and is involved in planning, decision-making, and moderating social behavior. It connects with primary motor areas,...

Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

01:16Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
872
A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...
