International Nursing Organizations II

1.0K
The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

Distribution and Dispersion

21.8K
To understand intra-specific interactions in populations, scientists measure the spatial arrangement of species individuals. This geographic arrangement is known as the species distribution or dispersion. Highly territorial species exhibit a uniform distribution pattern, in which individuals are spaced at relatively equal distances from one another. Species that are highly tied to particular resources, such as food or shelter, tend to concentrate around those resources, and thus exhibit a...

Levels of Organization

Biological organization is the classification of biological structures, ranging from atoms at the bottom of the hierarchy to the Earth's biosphere. Each level of the hierarchy represents an increase in complexity that builds upon the previous level.
Molecules Are Composed of Atoms, and Biomolecules Are Assembled from Molecules:
The most basic levels include atoms, molecules, and biomolecules. Atoms, the smallest unit of ordinary matter, are composed of a nucleus and electrons. Molecules...

International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...

What is Biodiversity?01:19

What is Biodiversity?

27.4K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Area of Science:

  • Scholarly communication
  • Scientometrics
  • Bibliometrics

Background:

  • Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are essential for persistent identification of scholarly works.
  • Large publishing houses dominate DOI allocation, potentially marginalizing research from other regions.
  • The global scientific information ecosystem relies on discoverable and persistent identifiers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the worldwide availability of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs).
  • To investigate the impact of DOI absence on publications from developing countries.
  • To advocate for increased attention to DOI availability in scholarly communication and scientometrics.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of global DOI distribution data.
  • Assessment of publication exclusion from global scientific information flow.
  • Review of current scholarly communication and scientometric practices.

Main Results:

  • Significant dominance of large publishing houses in DOI assignment.
  • A considerable number of publications from developing countries lack DOIs.
  • Exclusion of these publications from the global scientific information flow was observed.

Conclusions:

  • The availability of DOIs is critical for enhancing the visibility of research globally.
  • Alternative publishing models may be needed to address DOI disparities.
  • A broader discussion on DOI accessibility is required for librarians, publishers, and scientometricians.
