Chatbots, generative AI, and scholarly manuscripts: WAME recommendations on chatbots and generative artificial intelligence in relation to scholarly publications

This statement revises our earlier "WAME Recommendations on ChatGPT and Chatbots in Relation to Scholarly Publications" (January 20, 2023). The revision reflects the proliferation of chatbots and their expanding use in scholarly publishing over the last few months, as well as emerging concerns regarding lack of authenticity of content when using chatbots. These recommendations are intended to inform editors and help them develop policies for the use of chatbots in papers published in their journals. They aim to help authors and reviewers understand how best to attribute the use of chatbots in their work and to address the need for all journal editors to have access to manuscript screening tools. In this rapidly evolving field, we will continue to modify these recommendations as the software and its applications develop.

Esta declaración revisa las anteriores "Recomendaciones de WAME sobre ChatGPT y Chatbots en Relation to Scholarly Publications" (20 de enero de 2023). La revisión refleja la proliferación de chatbots y su creciente uso en las publicaciones académicas en los últimos meses, así como la preocupación por la falta de autenticidad de los contenidos cuando se utilizan chatbots. Estas recomendaciones pretenden informar a los editores y ayudarles a desarrollar políticas para el uso de chatbots en los artículos sometidos en sus revistas. Su objetivo es ayudar a autores y revisores a entender cuál es la mejor manera de atribuir el uso de chatbots en su trabajo y a la necesidad de que todos los editores de revistas tengan acceso a herramientas de selección de manuscritos. En este campo en rápida evolución, seguiremos modificando estas recomendaciones a medida que se desarrollen el software y sus aplicaciones.

La autoría científica en Neurocirugía / Scientific authorship in neurosurgery

Introducción La evaluación de la producción científica bibliográfica es un tema complejo que fundamentalmente se basa en el factor de impacto (FI) de la revista en la que se publica y en el índice h, que cuantifica las citas que recibe el autor. Para estimar la producción bibliográfica y el grado e impacto de la coautoría en los artículos científicos publicados por neurocirujanos españoles, se realizó una búsqueda en PubMed de todos los artículos publicados por una muestra de neurocirujanos. Material y métodos Estudio observacional y transversal de ámbito regional. Se identificó una muestra de 183 autores neurocirujanos de las Comunidades de Madrid y de Castilla y León. La información bibliométrica se obtuvo durante el mes de marzo de 2022 de la base de datos PubMed de acceso libre en internet. Para cada autor se registraron el tipo de revista, el número total de artículos publicados, el orden de autoría, el FI total de sus publicaciones, el porcentaje de trabajos firmados como primer o segundo autor (cociente de autoría personal [CAP]) y el porcentaje del FI achacable a dichos trabajos (cociente de impacto personal [CIP]). Resultados Los 183 autores publicaron un total de 3.592 artículos en 412 revistas diferentes, de las cuales solo el 9,9% eran revistas puramente neuroquirúrgicas. Únicamente 17 autores publicaron algún trabajo en solitario (9,3%) (AU)

Introduction Assessment of scientific bibliographic production is a complex issue, mainly based on the impact factor (IF) of the journals and the h index, that quantifies the number of cites an author receives. In order to estimate the bibliographic production and the influence of co-authorship among Spanish neurosurgeons, we performed a PubMed search aimed to identify all papers published by a sample of neurosurgeons. Material and methods Cross-sectional observational and regional study. We identified a sample of 183 neurosurgeons from Madrid and Castilla y León Autonomous Communities. The bibliometric information was gathered in March 2022 via PubMed free access website. For each author we registered the type of journal, total number of articles, order of appearance in the authors’ list, total IF, the proportion of articles signed as first or second author (personal authorship quotient [PAQ]) and the percentage of IF attributable to those articles (personal impact quotient [PIQ]). Results A total of 3592 articles from 183 authors were published in 412 different journals, of which only 9.9% were pure neurosurgical journals. Only 17 neurosurgeons (9.3%) had published at least one article as unique author. The average number of articles per neurosurgeon was 20 (median 9) of which 57.7% were published in neurosurgical journals, and 22.2% in Neurocirugía (official publication of the SENEC) (AU)

Participation of Latino Authors in TOP Dermatology Journals During 2021: a Brief Bibliometric Analysis / Participación de autores latinos en revistas TOP de dermatología durante el 2021: un corto análisis bibliométrico / Participação de autores latinos nas revistas TOP de dermatologia durante 2021: uma breve análise bibliométrica / Participation of Latino Authors in TOP Dermatology Journals During 2021: a Brief Bibliometric Analysis

A key global health objective is to promote the advancement of scientific production in disciplines with low publication volume, as opposed to specialties addressing pathologies that represent the greatest global disease burden (1). Dermatology is one such discipline, which has experienced substantial growth in research on immunopathogenic, pathophysiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects (2-4). The extent to which Latin American authors and institutions have been involved in publishing scientific articles in the dermatology journals with highest impact worldwide remains unknown.

Un objetivo clave de salud mundial es promover el avance de la producción científica en disciplinas con bajo volumen de publicación, a diferencia de especialidades que abordan las patologías que representan la mayor carga de enfermedad a nivel mundial (1). La Dermatología es una de esas disciplinas que ha experimentado un crecimiento sustancial en investigación en aspectos inmunopatogénicos, fisiopatológicos, diagnósticos y terapéuticos (2-4). El alcance en el cual los autores e instituciones latinoamericanas han participado en la publicación de artículos científicos en revistas de dermatología con mayor impacto mundial permanece incierto.

La importancia de estar incluido en el Emerging sources Citation Index para las revistas y autores españoles / The importance of being included in the emerging sources citation index for spanish journals and authors

La evaluación de la actividad de los investigadores, de sus publicaciones y de las revistas donde se publican dichos trabajos, es un proceso continuo y necesario para poder valorar la calidad y el impacto de los mismos. Estas revistas están indexadas en diferentes bases de datos, siendo la Web Of Science una de las más importantes, junto con Scopus, debido a la cantidad de información que tiene recogida y a los rigurosos criterios que deben cumplir las revistas para ser incluidas en ella. Una nueva herramienta de esta base de datos es el Emerging Sources Citation Index, que contiene revistas que o bien están en proceso de evaluación, o bien son revistas que presentan una calidad científica acreditada en su disciplina, pero que nunca llegarán a integrarse en la Web of Science ya que su área de conocimiento es limitada y previsiblemente nunca llegaran a tener un factor de impacto suficientemente alto. El estar incluido en este recurso, como lo está ROL Revista de Enfermería, tiene un gran valor para las revistas y para los autores que publican sus trabajos en ellas ya que supone un mérito valorado en la mayoría de los procesos de evaluación de los investigadores, como por ejemplo en la Agencia Nacional de Evaluación de la Calidad y Acreditación (ANECA). (AU)

The evaluation of the activity of researchers, their publications and the journals where these works are published, is a continuous and necessary process to assess their quality and impact. These journals are indexed in different databases, being Web Of Science one of the most important, together with Scopus, due to the amount of information it has collected and the rigorous criteria that journals must meet to be included in it. A new tool of this database is the Emerging Sources Citation Index, which contains journals that are either in the process of evaluation, or are journals that have a proven scientific quality in their discipline, but that will never be included in the Web of Science because their area of knowledge is limited and they will probably never have a sufficiently high impact factor. Being included in this resource, as ROL Revista de Enfermería is, has a great value for the journals and for the authors who publish their work in them, since it is a merit valued in most of the evaluation processes of researchers, such as the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA).

Scientific authorship in neurosurgery.

INTRODUCTION: Assessment of scientific bibliographic production is a complex issue, mainly based on the impact factor (IF) of the journals and the h index, that quantifies the number of cites an author receives. In order to estimate the bibliographic production and the influence of co-authorship among Spanish neurosurgeons, we performed a PubMed search aimed to identify all papers published by a sample of neurosurgeons. METHODS: Cross-sectional observational and regional study. We identified a sample of 183 neurosurgeons from Madrid and Castilla y León Autonomous Communities. The bibliometric information was gathered in March 2022 via PubMed free access website. For each author we registered the type of journal, total number of articles, order of appearance in the authors' list, total IF, the proportion of articles signed as first or second author (Personal Authorship Quotient [PAQ]) and the percentage of IF attributable to those articles (Personal Impact Quotient [PIQ]). RESULTS: A total of 3,592 articles from 183 authors were published in 412 different journals, of which only 9.9% were pure neurosurgical journals. Only 17 neurosurgeons (9,3%) had published at least one article as unique author. The average number of articles per neurosurgeon was 20 (median 9) of which 57.7% were published in neurosurgical journals, and 22,2% in Neurocirugía (official publication of the SENEC). The average PAQ was 0.367 (median 0.364) and the average PIQ was 0.317 (median 0.251). Both proportions tended to decrease as the number of publications increased. CONCLUSIONS: On average, Spanish neurosurgeons publish half of their articles in neurosurgical journals, appear as first or second author in one third of the cases, and the IF attributable to these papers comprise 25% of the total IF. The PAQ and PIQ provide bibliometric information that minimizes the enlarging effect on curriculum of massive co-authorship and allow comparisons among authors and different scientific fields.

Analysis of scientific production aligned with the Food and Nutrition Security Strategy of Portuguese-Speaking African Institutions: a systematic scoping review / Análise da produção científica alinhada com a Estratégia de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional das Instituições Africanas de Língua Portuguesa: uma revisão sistemática de escopo

ABSTRACT This systematic scoping review aimed to map and characterize the scientific production of researchers from Portuguese-speaking African institutions that align with the Food and Nutrition Security Strategy of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries. The literature search was conducted using six electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Virtual Health Library, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Scopus, and Web of Science), with no restrictions on the year of publication nor language. Through the search strategy, 10,061 records were identified, of which 502 documents and 654 researchers were selected by Food and Nutrition Security specialists along three axes: 1) Policy governance; 2) Access to food; 3) Availability of food. Institutional researchers from Mozambique (66.9%), Guinea-Bissau (15.9%), and Angola (11.4%) presented the most publications and international collaborations. Researchers from Cape Verde, Sao Tome and Principe, and Equatorial Guinea institutions added only 5.8% of the total production. A greater number of publications (61%) was related to axis two of the Food and Nutrition Security Strategy of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries. The most studied themes were sustainable development, child malnutrition, and agricultural production for the first, second, and third axis, respectively. In general, scientific publications have shown limitations in their approaches due to the challenge imposed by the complexity of the food system. However, there has been a quantitative evolution in publications in the last decade, with a greater participation of researchers from Portuguese-speaking African institutions.

RESUMO Esta revisão sistemática de escopo teve como objetivo mapear e caracterizar a produção científica de pesquisadores de instituições africanas de língua portuguesa que se alinham com a Estratégia de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa. A busca das literaturas foi realizada em seis bases de dados eletrônicas (PubMed, EMBASE, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Scopus e Web of Science), sem restrição quanto ao ano de publicação e ao idioma. Por meio da estratégia de busca, foram identificados 10.061 registros, dos quais 502 documentos e 654 pesquisadores foram selecionados por especialistas em Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional em três eixos: 1) Governança de políticas; 2) Acesso à alimentação; 3) Disponibilidade de alimentos. Pesquisadores de intuições de Moçambique (66,9%), Guiné-Bissau (15,9%) e Angola (11,4%) foram os que apresentaram o maior número de publicações e colaborações internacionais. No entanto, os pesquisadores das instituições de Cabo Verde, São Tomé e Príncipe e Guiné Equatorial somaram apenas 5,8% da produção total. Foi observado maior número de publicações (61%) relacionadas com o eixo dois da Estratégia de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa. As temáticas mais estudadas foram desenvolvimento sustentável, desnutrição infantil e produção agrícola para o primeiro, segundo e terceiro eixo, respectivamente. De forma geral, as publicações científicas mostraram limitações em suas abordagens frente ao desafio imposto pela complexidade do sistema alimentar. Todavia, foi houve uma evolução quantitativa nas publicações na última década; além disso, maior participação de pesquisadores de instituições africanas de língua portuguesa pode ser vislumbrada.

Editorial endogamy in some Latin American dental journals

Objective: Scientific publication in a journal by a member of the editorial committee of the same journal is known as authorial endogamy. To determine the presence of authorial endogamy in some Latin American dental journals. Material and Methods: Observational, descriptive, retrospective study. Eight dental journals from Brazil, Cuba and Chile indexed to Scopus in the period of 2018 - 2021 were analyzed. An evaluation was made of the manuscripts that include a member of the editorial committee as author. The results were expressed in percentages and frequency measurements and for the bivariate analysis, the Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher's exact test were used (p<0.05). Results: A total of 2026 articles, from which 14.52% (n=256), of authorial endogamy were found. The endogamy articles were mostly original articles 98.05% (n=252), experimental design 39.70% (n=102), advisory council 49.36% (n=153), co-authorship position 58.97% (n=184), with presence of 1 endogamic author per article 82.94% (n=214), the number of days from submission to acceptance were statistically lower in endogamic articles (p=0.003). Conclusion: The presence of editorial endogamy in some dental journals in Latin America was low, this finding is more frequent in original articles, mostly from the advisory board and as co-author. Additionally; it was found that endogamic articles took less days in editorial process. (AU)

Abstract Introduction The benefits of multiple authorship are undoubted, but sometimes the number of authors is disproportionately greater than the intellectual content. Objective To know the average authorship in the occupational therapy field and assess its possible determinants. Method 19 journals of the discipline were included. We select research articles and systematic reviews. Results We found an average of 3.5 authors, with an increase of 0.9 (R2=0.86) from 2011 to 2020. The number of multiple authorships is greater than individual authorships. The three possible determinants of the increase in authorship seem to be: (a) visibility (open access/charge journals increase the number of authorships by 40.2%); (b) the impact factor (JCR [Journal Citation Report] journals increase by 15.7% compared to others) and (c) quartiles (ESCI Emerging Sources Citation Index] journals appear in the publishing landscape and SSCI/SCI [Social Science Citation Index/ Science Citation Index]experience their biggest rise of 10.5% in Q1 [First Quartile]). Conclusion This study provides complete and contrasted information for the first time, showing the average authorship of occupational therapy articles and the determinants that influence it.

The use of ChatGPT in scientific publishing / O uso do ChatGPT na publicação científica

The use of Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT), an artificial intelligence tool, for writing scientific articles has been reason for discussion by the academic community ever since its launch in late 2022. This artificial intelligence technology is becoming capable of generating fluent language, and distinguishing between text produced by ChatGPT and that written by people is becoming increasingly difficult. Here, we will present some topics to be discussed: (1) ensuring human verification; (2) establishing accountability rules; (3) avoiding the automatization of scientific production; (4) favoring truly open-source large language models (LLMs); (5) embracing the benefits of artificial intelligence; and (6) broadening the debate. With the emergence of these technologies, it is crucial to regulate, with continuous updates, the development and responsible use of LLMs with integrity, transparency, and honesty in research, along with scientists from various areas of knowledge, technology companies, large research funding bodies, science academies and universities, editors, non-governmental organizations, and law experts

O uso do Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT), ferramenta de inteligência artificial, na redação de artigos científicos, tem sido motivo de discussão pela comunidade acadêmica desde seu lançamento, no fim de 2022. Essa tecnologia de inteligência artificial está ganhando a capacidade de gerar linguagem fluente, sendo cada vez mais difícil distingui-la dos textos escritos por pessoas. Serão apresentados alguns aspectos para serem debatidos: (1) assegurar a verificação humana; (2) desenvolver regras de responsabilidade; (3) evitar a automatização da produção científica; (4) dar preferência a grandes modelos de linguagem verdadeiramente (LLMs) abertos; (5) abraçar os benefícios da IA; e (6) ampliar o debate. Com o surgimento dessas tecnologias, faz-se necessário regulamentar, com atualização contínua, o desenvolvimento e o uso responsável dos LLMs com integridade, transparência e honestidade na pesquisa, com participação de cientistas de diversas disciplinas, empresas de tecnologia, grandes financiadores de pesquisas, academias de ciências e universidades, editores, organizações não governamentais (ONGs) e especialistas jurídicos

Women authorship in Latin American pediatric journals. A 35 years analysis / Participación de la mujer en revistas pediátricas latinoamericanas. Análisis de 35 años

Background: Women authorship in scientific publication is still limited, especially in hierarchical positions. Objective: To analyze the participation of women as authors in Latin American pediatric publications and its variation over 35 years. Methods: All articles from Archivos Argentinos de Pediatria, Jornal de Pediatria, and Revista Chilena de Pediatria from the analyzed years (1985, 1995, 2005, 2015, 2020) were identified, calculating the proportion of women as authors, and as first and last author. For each variable, changes in the studied period were evaluated  (X2 for trend). Results: We evaluated 1860 articles (6039 authors). After a significant increase during the analyzed period , in 2020, 59.1% of the co-authors, 59.7% of the first and 44.4% of the last authors were women. Conclusion: The proportion of women authors in Latin American pediatric journals has increased in 35 years, reaching 59.1%. However, their participation in prestigious areas is still limited.

Introducción: La participación de la mujer en publicación científica es limitada, especialmente en posiciones jerárquicas.

Métodos: Se identificaron todos los artículos de Archivos Argentinos de Pediatría, Jornal de Pediatria y Revista Chilena de Pediatría de los años analizados (1985,1995, 2005, 2015, 2020), calculando la proporción de mujeres autoras, y como primer y último autor. Para cada variable, se evaluaron las modificaciones en el período estudiado (X2 para tendencia). Resultados: Evaluamos 1860 artículos (6039 autores). Luego de un incremento significativo en el período evaluado, en 2020, 59,1 % de los autores, 59,7 % de los primeros autores, y 44,4 % de los últimos eran mujeres. Conclusión: La proporción de mujeres autoras en revistas pediátricas latinoamericanas se incrementó en 35 años, alcanzando 59,1 %, pero su participación en lugares de prestigio es aún limitada.

Psicopedagogia para gente grande Atendimento psicopedagógico na idade madura / Psychopedagogy for grown-ups Psychopedagogical care in the mature age

O presente estudo surgiu da observação, em nossa prática profissional, de que o adulto, para lidar com questões de aprendizagem, por diferentes motivos, pode se beneficiar de atendimento psicopedagógico. Para tanto, o levantamento de fontes, de leitura e análise bibliográfica possibilitou investigarmos as necessidades da fase madura, revisando paradigmas, suas características e peculiaridades. Ao longo do trabalho, ressaltamos o resgate e/ou fortalecimento da autonomia e autoria como personagens de grande valor, sempre tendo como alvo a qualidade de vida. O estudo nos leva, ainda, a pensar no seguinte questionamento proposto por vários autores: temos mais um estágio cognitivo além dos propostos por Piaget? Propomos também a intenção de pensar acerca das diferentes possibilidades do atendimento psicopedagógico, ampliando nosso olhar e nossa escuta.

The present study arose from the observation, in our professional practice, that the adult, to deal with learning issues, for different reasons, can benefit from psychopedagogical care. Therefore, the survey of sources of reading and bibliographic analysis made it possible to investigate the needs of the mature phase, reviewing paradigms, their characteristics and peculiarities. Throughout the work, we emphasize the rescue and/or strengthening of autonomy and authorship as characters of great value, always having as a target the quality of life. The study also leads us to think about the following question proposed by several authors: do we have one more cognitive stage in addition to those proposed by Piaget? We also propose the intention of thinking about the different possibilities of psychopedagogical care, expanding our look and our listening.

Disparidade de Gênero na Autoria Principal e Sênior em Periódicos Brasileiros de Cardiologia / Gender Disparity in First and Senior Authorship in Brazilian Cardiology Journals

Resumo Fundamento: Apesar da importância das mulheres na pesquisa clínica, não existe uma avaliação da fração de mulheres em posições de autoria nos periódicos de cardiologia da SBC. Objetivos: Avaliar a fração de mulheres autoras na International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences (IJCS) e nos Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia (ABC Cardiol) nas últimas décadas. Métodos: Realizamos busca dos artigos originais dos ABC Cardiol, entre 2000 e 2019, e da IJCS, entre 2010 e 2019. Foi feito levantamento do número de primeiras e últimas autoras e do total de artigos originais de 2010 a 2019. Calculamos as proporções totais de autorias femininas e comparamos o primeiro quinquênio com o segundo. Para avaliar a evolução temporal das duas décadas, analisamos apenas dados dos ABC Cardiol. Utilizamos o teste Qui-quadrado para analisar as diferenças dentro de cada revista e entre ambas. O software IBM® SPSS® foi utilizado nas análises. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Resultados: De 2010 a 2019, foram publicados 1157 artigos originais nos ABC Cardiol e 398 na IJCS. Observamos que as mulheres têm maior predominância como primeiras autoras na IJCS em relação aos ABC Cardiol, mas os homens predominam como últimos autores em ambos. De 2010 a 2019, não houve modificação significativa na proporção de autorias femininas. Ao longo das décadas analisadas para os ABC Cardiol, houve projeção de crescimento linear de autorias femininas, sendo que a inclinação da reta é maior na projeção da primeira autoria que na autoria sênior. Conclusões: Há disparidade de gênero com menor representatividade feminina nas autorias dos artigos dos periódicos cardiológicos brasileiros analisados: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia e International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences. Acreditamos que a partir destes resultados mais esforços devam ser implementados em busca de equidade de gênero na produção científica cardiológica veiculada por estes periódicos.

Abstract Background: Despite the importance of women in clinical research, no assessment has been made of the fraction of women in a leadership positions in the Cardiology journals of the SBC. Objectives: To assess the fraction of female authors in the International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences (IJCS) and the Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia (ABC Cardiol) over the last decades. Methods: We searched the original articles of the ABC Cardiol, from 2000 to 2019, and of the IJCS, from 2010 to 2019. We surveyed the number of first and senior female authors and the total number of original articles from 2010 to 2019. We calculated the total proportion of female authorship and compared the first quinquennium with the second. Only data from the ABC Cardiol were analyzed to assess the temporal evolution of the two decades. We used the chi-square test to assess the differences within each journal and between them. The IBM® SPSS® software was used in the analyses. The level of significance adopted was 5%. Results: From 2010 to 2019, 1,157 original articles were published in the ABC Cardiol and 398 in the IJCS. We observed that women are more prevalent as first authors in the IJCS compared to the ABC Cardiol, but men prevail as senior authors in both journals. From 2010 to 2019, there was no significant change in the proportion of female authorship. Throughout the decades analyzed for the ABC Cardiol, there was a projection of linear growth of female authorship, with the slope of the line being greater in the first authorship than in senior authorship. Conclusions: There is gender disparity, with lower female representativeness in authorship in the articles from the Brazilian Cardiology journals analyzed: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia and International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences. We believe that based on these results, more efforts should be implemented in the search for gender equity in the cardiology scientific production published by these journals.

Mujeres ocupando autorías preferenciales de artículos en la revista EMERGENCIAS: análisis de la última década / Women occupying preferential authorship positions for articles in the journal Emergencias: an analysis of authorship during the last decade

Objetivos. Analizar la desigualdad de género en la producción científica de la revista EMERGENCIAS en la última década. Método. Estudio longitudinal retrospectivo que revisó los números publicados entre enero de 2011 y diciembre de 2020. Se analizaron el número de autores, género, tipo y año de publicación y autoría preferencial (primera autoría, autoría de correspondencia o última autoría). La participación de la mujer se calculó en base a valores porcentuales y se analizó la tendencia existente a lo largo de los años. Resultados. Se recogieron 1.240 artículos con un número total de 5.213 firmantes, 1.889 de ellos (36,2%) mujeres. En 384 (31%) artículos, una mujer asumió la primera autoría, en 352 (28,4%) fue autora para correspondencia y en 358 (28,9%) la última autora. A lo largo de la década, se identificó una tendencia creciente en los que una mujer fue primera autora en los artículos originales o metanálisis (p = 0,047). En los editoriales, revisiones, cartas científicas o comunicaciones breves, cartas al editor y otros no existió una tendencia creciente significativa en las autorías preferenciales. Conclusión. La participación de autoras en la producción científica de la revista EMERGENCIAS ha aumentado en la última década. No obstante, comparado con la de hombres, sigue existiendo una menor participación.

Objective. To analyze gender disparity in scientific productivity reflected by the authorship of articles in the journal Emergencias over the past decade. Methods. Retrospective longitudinal study. We included articles in all issues published between January 2011 and December 2020, analyzing the number of authors, their gender, article type, year of publication, and preferential authorship credit (first author, corresponding author, and last author positioning). The percentages of women named in each position were calculated, and the trend over time was analyzed. Results. A total of 1240 articles signed by 5213 authors were collected; a woman was named in 1889 of the cases (36.2%). A woman was the first author of 384 articles (31%), the corresponding author of 352 (28.4%), and the last author of 358 (28.9%). The number of female authors of original research articles or meta-analyses tended to increase over time (P = .047), but no statistically significant gender trends were observed in the authorship of editorials, narrative reviews, scientific letters or short communications, letters to the editor, or any other publication category. Conclusions. The publication of articles by women in Emergencias has increased over the past decade. However, women continue to author fewer articles than men. (AU)

Cómo escribir y publicar artículos científicos (y III). Llegamos a puerto: elección de la revista, envío del manuscrito, proceso editorial y aspectos éticos / How to write and publish scientific papers (and III). Arrival in port: journal choice, manuscript submission, editorial process, and ethical issues

Presentamos las cuestiones a considerar al enviar un manuscrito para su publicación como artículo en una revista científica. Para ello, es muy importante conocer las revistas científicas, particularmente las de nuestra especialidad o interés, conocer el proceso editorial en las revistas para la selección y la decisión sobre lo que publican, y conocer y respetar las normas éticas que atañen al proceso de publicación científica y a todos sus actores. Debemos escoger la revista a la que enviar nuestro manuscrito en base a aspectos tales como la audiencia y política editorial de la revista, su difusión, su indexación o su factor de impacto. Los manuscritos se deben acompañar de una carta de presentación, donde podremos comunicar directamente al editor la originalidad y valor de nuestro trabajo. Con algunas variaciones entre revistas, el proceso editorial de los manuscritos incluye una primera evaluación y decisión por parte del director (editor jefe) o editor asociado, que ya puede ser de rechazo. Si se pasa esa primera decisión, el manuscrito es enviado desde la revista a revisión externa por expertos, lo que se conoce como peer review. El editor a cargo del manuscrito lo valora de nuevo a la luz de los informes de los revisores externos y toma la segunda decisión, que puede ser de rechazo definitivo o de rechazo condicional, en este último caso requiriendo a los autores cambios y aclaraciones antes de una decisión definitiva. En las sucesivas versiones del manuscrito que nos pueda requerir la revista se deben atender muy cuidadosamente los comentarios de los revisores y editores. Adicionalmente, los autores de artículos científicos deben cumplir las normas éticas propias del proceso de publicación, como son los requisitos de autoría, sobre publicación duplicada o sobre conflictos de intereses. (AU)

We discuss the aspects to consider when submitting a manuscript for publication as an article in a scientific journal. Awareness of scientific journals, particularly of those dealing with our specialty or interest, and knowledge of their editorial process are important for journal selection, as is awareness of and respect for the ethical standards applying to the publication process and all those involved therein. We must select a journal for manuscript submission based on aspects such as readership, editorial policy, dissemination, indexing, and impact factor. Manuscripts must be accompanied by a cover letter, in which we can directly inform the editor about our work’s originality and value. With some variations among different journals, the editorial process of manuscripts includes an initial evaluation and decision by the editor-in-chief or an associate editor, which may result in rejection. If this first evaluation is passed, the manuscript is submitted by the journal to an external review by experts (peer review). The editor in charge of the manuscript assesses it again in the light of the reports received from external reviewers, and makes a second decision, which can be definitive rejection or conditional rejection, in the latter case requiring changes and clarifications by the authors before a final decision is made. Authors must carefully comply with any feedback reviewers and editors may provide in the successive versions of the manuscript as required by the journal. Additionally, the authors of scientific articles must comply with the ethical standards of the publication process, such as those related to authorship requirements, duplicate publication, and conflicts of interest.
