INTRODUCTION: Bibliometrics evaluates the quality of biomedical journals. The aim of this study has been to compare the main bibliometric indexes of the official journals of scientific societies of Internal Medicine in Europe. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Bibliometric information was obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. Both impact metrics (Journal Impact Factor [JIF], CiteScore) and normalized metrics (Journal Citation Indicator [JCI], Normalized Eigenfactor, Source Normalized Impact per Paper [SNIP] and SCImago Journal Rank [SJR]) of the journals for the year 2022 were analyzed, and their evolution over the last decade was described. RESULTS: Twenty-three official journals from 33 scientific societies were evaluated. Eight journals were included in WoS and 11 in Scopus. The best positioned journals in 2022 were: 1) European Journal of Internal Medicine, which ranked in the first quartile (Q1) for JIF, CiteScore and JCI metrics, exceeding values of 1 in Normalized Eigenfactor and SNIP metrics; 2) Internal and Emergency Medicine, with Q1 for CiteScore and JCI metrics, and with values >1 in Normalized EigenFactor and SNIP metrics; 3) Polish Archives of Internal Medicine, with Q1 for JCI metrics; 4) Revista Clínica Española, with Q2 for JIF, CiteScore and JCI metrics; and 5) Acta Medica Belgica, with Q2 for CiteScore and JCI metrics.

CONCLUSIONS: Five official journals of European Internal Medicine societies, including Revista Clínica Española, meet high quality standards.

Producción científica durante el período de residencia en España: comparación entre especialidades médicas con programas de 5años / Research productivity during residency training in Spain: Comparison among medical specialties lasting 5 years

Objetivos: Comparar la cantidad y calidad de las publicaciones realizadas durante el período de residencia de Cardiología, Medicina Intensiva, Medicina Interna y Oncología Médica en España.Métodos: Estudio de cohortes retrospectivo de los médicos residentes de 4especialidades con 5años de duración (promoción 2014-2019). Se revisaron el número y el tipo de publicaciones indexadas en PubMed, el nombre de las revistas y sus índices bibliométricos (factor de impacto y cuartil), y la posición de autoría.Resultados: Los 649 residentes incluidos generaron 801 publicaciones (cociente o índice publicación/residente 1,23). Los residentes de Cardiología publicaron significativamente más (índice 2,57) y los de Medicina Intensiva menos (índice 0,42) que el resto de las especialidades (Medicina Interna, índice 1,06; Oncología Médica, índice 0,76; p<0,001). Globalmente, solo el 44,5% de los residentes participó en alguna publicación y el 27,6% en un artículo original; este último porcentaje se incrementó significativamente entre los cardiólogos (47,7%; p<0,001). Los tipos de publicación predominantes fueron los artículos originales (47,9%) y las notas clínicas (36,8%). La proporción de publicaciones en revistas de primer cuartil fue superior para los residentes de Cardiología (44,6% del total). Solo en un tercio de las publicaciones el residente fue primer o último firmante. La producción científica se relacionó con la especialidad, pero no con el sexo ni el tamaño del hospital donde se desarrolló la residencia.Conclusiones: Los residentes de Medicina Intensiva, Medicina Interna y Oncología Médica publican poco, mientras que la producción científica en Cardiología se puede considerar aceptable (AU)

The number and type of publications indexed in PubMed, the names of the journals and their bibliometric indexes (impact factor and quartiles), and author's positions were evaluated.Results: The 649 residents included in the study generated 801 publications (publication/resident ratio 1.23). Cardiology residents published significantly more (ratio 2.57) and Intensive Care Medicine residents less (ratio 0.42) than the remaining specialties (Internal Medicine, ratio 1.06; Medical Oncology, ratio 0.76; p<.001). Overall, only 44.5% of residents participated in a publication, with 27.6% participating in an original article; this latter percentage increased significantly among cardiologists (47.7%; p<.001). The predominant types of publications were original articles (47.9%) and clinical reports (36.8%). The proportion of publications in first quartile journals was higher for Cardiology residents (44.6% of total). The resident was the first or last author in only one-third of the publications. Scientific productivity was related to specialty, but not to gender or the size of the hospital in which the residency training occurred.Conclusions: Intensive Care Medicine, Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology residents publish insufficiently, while the scientific production from Cardiology residents could be considered acceptable (AU)

Reconciling monitoring and modeling: An appraisal of river monitoring networks based on a spatial autocorrelation approach - emerging pollutants in the Danube River as a case study.

Rivers extend in space and time under the influence of their catchment area. Our perception largely relies on discrete spatial and temporal observations carried out at certain sites located throughout the catchment (monitoring networks, MN). However, MNs are constrained by (a) the distribution of sampling sites, (b) the dynamics of the variable considered and (c) the river hydrological conditions. In this study, all three aspects were captured and quantified by applying a spatial autocorrelation modeling approach. We exemplarily studied its application to 235 emerging contaminants (pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products [PPCP], industrial and miscellaneous) measured at 55 sampling sites in the Danube River. 22 out of the 235 compounds monitored were present at all sites and 125 were found in at least 50%.We first calculated the Moran Index (MI) to characterize the spatial autocorrelation of the compound set. 59 compounds showed MI≤0, which can be interpreted as 'no spatial correlation'. Next, spatial autocorrelation models were set for each compound. From the autocorrelation parameter ρ, catchment average correlation lengths were derived for each compound. MN optimality was examined and compounds were classified into three groups: (a) those with ρ≤0 [25%]; (b) those with ρ>0 and correl. length0 and correl. length>average distance between consecutive sites [73%]. The MN was considered optimal only for the latter class. Networks with the larger average distance between consecutive sites resulted in a decreasing number of optimally monitored compounds. Furthermore, neighbors vs. local relative contributions were quantified based on the spatial autocorrelation model for all the measured compounds. The results of this study show how autocorrelation models can aid water managers to improve the design of river MNs, which are a key aspect of the Water Framework Directive.
