“…The clinical librarianship developmental model, medical librarian cooperation in clinical team activities model, and CREDIT model are criteria for evaluating the performance of clinical informationists and also for developing and evaluating clinical information education programs and are among the most important models that researchers have studied in this field. [ 30 31 32 33 34 ] Another model given attention to in this profession which has more supervision of the professional performance of medical informationists and librarians is the embedding librarianship model, in which its mission, feature, objectives, and performance are discussed in two articles. [ 33 35 ] Embedded librarianship supervises the potentials of librarians in educational, research, and developmental activities such that they are considered the main motivating factor in education, research, and development.…”

Nowadays, professions with stronger theoretical background usually have a better standing among other academic fields. The field of Medical Library and Information Science (MLIS) also requires developments in theoretical issues to increase its ranking and provide more effective support services and higher quality research. The aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review of publications in MLIS in Scopus and Web of Sciences databases to identify the underlying theoretical issues in this field. The research method was a scoping review conducted in February 2022. Articles published in the field of MLIS for which the main theme or research outcomes were based on theoretical foundations, patterns, frameworks, theories and models, and without limitation on time were retrieved from Web of Science and Scopus databases. The retrieved articles were analyzed after necessary screening and evaluation. Based on the determined criteria, 49 articles were eventually analyzed. Patterns, theories, frameworks, and models used in the articles have been categorized into six general groups: (1) information (general) and information literacy; (2) models of evaluation and support services in libraries and information centers; (3) clinical, embedded librarianship, and professional librarianship; (4) scientometrics, selection and evaluation of articles, journals, and serials; (5) open access content; and (6) psychological and sociological models. The results indicate that published articles in the field of MLIS have used a considerable range of models, theories, and frameworks as the most important elements of theoretical concepts. These models, theories, and frameworks have been categorized into six main groups, a number of which have been involving collection development, organization of material, and most have been overseeing the distribution of information and support services in libraries and information centers. Whereas MLIS is an interdisciplinary field with specific applications for access to and distribution of information, it still has considerable potential for presenting models, frameworks, and theories.

“…Libraries in academic institutions supply readers with reading accommodation, references and resources and hold a variety of training activities to promote the usage of these resources (Tlakula and Fombad, 2017). Medical libraries are dedicated to offering the most up-to-date clinical information for all health-care providers to ensure the quality of patient care (Hashemian et al , 2021) and to serve as an important cornerstone for academic activities. Therefore, medical libraries play an imperative role in the career development of medical professionals (Brennan et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a digital medical library, including department-based electronic journal access, library training course participation and scholarly publications. Design/methodology/approach The data on full-text electronic journal access, participants of library training courses and scholarly publications were exported from a digital medical library database during 2017–2021. In addition, electronic journal access and library training courses were divided into high-level and low-level groups, while scholarly publications were divided into physician and non-physician groups. Findings The scholarly publications had a positive correlation to library training courses and electronic journal access. Furthermore, scholarly publications showed a significant difference between the high-level and low-level electronic journal access groups but not between the high-level and low-level library training course groups. Scholarly publications and electronic journal access had positive correlations for both the physician and non-physician groups. Scholarly publications and library training courses, and electronic journal access and library training courses had positive correlations only in the non-physician group. Practical implications The importance of electronic journal access for scholarly publications is suggested based on the findings of the present study. The training courses held by the medical library had a positive effect on scholarly publications for the non-physician group. Originality/value The current study provides insights relevant to the electronic journal access of library-supported scholarly publications among medical departments. These results can serve as a reference for medical library development planning and decision-making in the future.

“…Competency is an indication of human performance that can be used to reliably predict successful job performance. Since its proposal in 1973 (McClelland 1974), the method has been widely applied in personnel selection, training assessment, and training course design within the medical field (Song et al 2022;Chen et al 2022;Alidrisi and Mohamed 2022;Vaughn et al 2021;Zhang et al 2022;Hashemian et al 2021).The Governments, the airlines, and the training organizations have realized that CBTA is a far more efficient way to develop a competent pilot workforce when compared to the traditional taskor hour-based training and checking. The CBTA concept identifies nine core competencies that pilots should possess, namely application of knowledge, application of procedures and compliance with regulations, management of aircraft flight path (automation), management of aircraft flight path (manual control), communication, leadership and teamwork, workload management, problem-solving and decision-making skills, situation awareness and information management.…”

A pilot's control behavior has a direct impact on aviation safety. To adapt to new flight training reforms, a competency-based assessment method is proposed in this paper. First, assessment scenarios, key competencies and observable behaviours were determined. Then, observable behavior assessment indexes were developed based on standard operating procedures and practical examination standards. Flight training data were analyzed based on curve similarity theory and a time series fast retrieval algorithm, and the assessment indexes were scored. The competency assessment method was established by quantifying “HOW MANY” and “HOW OFTEN” observable behaviors according to the assessment indexes score results. Finally, the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm was used to classify the assessment values, and assessment results were obtained. A teardrop pattern procedure was used to test the reliability of the assessment method. The results indicate that the correlation coefficient between the model evaluation and the expert evaluation is 0.947 with a significance level of 0.01, reliably and objectively quantifying manual flight performance and improving the scientific nature of manual flight performance assessment methods. Flight training institutions can use this method to establish diverse assessment scenarios and formulate corresponding assessment indexes based on the characteristics of each pilot to reasonably evaluate the manual flight performance of pilot. Targeted training methods can then be adopted for pilot with different performance levels to improve their competency.
