“…They have been trying to establish why university communities, especially in Africa, have not embraced use of the electronic resources as expected. Findings have varied and have included issues of awareness (Bayugo and Agbeko 2007, Dilek-Kayaoglu 2008, Khan and Ahmad 2009, Salaam and Aderibidge 2010, Shahmohammadi 2012, attitudes and perceptions (De Groote 2008, Salaam and Aderibidge 2010, Tyagi 2012, promotion (Thanuskodi 2011, Vasishta andNavivoti 2011), and facilitating conditions as factors that influence the use of these resources (Ondari-Okemwa 2004, Bevilacqua 2005, Upadhyay and Chakraborty 2008, Salaam and Aderibidge 2010, Shahmohammadi 2012. Among the factors affecting electronic journals usage in universities, the issue of facilitating conditions has been prominent, especially in the context of developing countries.…”

“…10,11,19 The possible explanation for such citation advantage is that online articles are more likely to be cited because they are more readily read than their print-only counterparts. 9 Furthermore, other studies have indicated that faculty staff believed online journal articles allow for more timely literature searching as compared to the accessibility of the hardcopies via conventional subscriptions.…”

For academic research outcomes, there is an increasing emphasis on the bibliometric scorings like the journal impact factor (JIF) when assessment of the quality of research is required. Currently, no known study has been conducted to explore the bibliographical trends of the biomedical engineering journals indexed by the annual Journal Citation Reports of the Thomson Scientific. In this study, the trends of nine reputable journals were selected and analyzed over a 9-year period (year 1999 to year 2007). The results show that the JIF rose exponentially for some journals (up to 597.0%) while for others, it shrank (down to -19.5%). A similar trend is observed for the citations trend over the same period and there was a significant increase in the number of citable articles published (> or =23.6%) in all the selected journals using year 1999 as the base year. However, journals which published significant more non-research articles (> or =10%) saw favorable subsequent effects on their citations. It is postulated that the changes in bibliographical trends can be classified as editorial and non-editorial influences. The retrospective impacts of these influences on the nine selected journals over the 9-year period were also discussed in this study.

“…Academic librarians keep abreast of new advancements and technologies related to research, while researchers and librarians have both developed a keen interest in figures to quantify research. Several bibliometrics topics were covered by librarians and information specialists (Bar-Ilan et al, 2012;Cronin, 2001;De Groote, 2008;Hood & Wilson, 2001;Jacso, 2008;Leydesdorff, 1998), and scholars from a variety of fields have also published extensively on topics related to the issues in bibliometrics (Abt, 2000;Boyack, Klavans, & Börner, 2005;Hall, 2014;Hicks, 2005;Hirsch, 2005;Schreiber, 2008;Vinkler, 2010). Scientists and librarians working in conjunction on citation analysis agree that the output indicators are just as good as the data input (Cronin, 2001;De Bellis, 2009;Jacso, 2008;Meho & Yang, 2007;Noruzi, 2005;West & McIlwaine, 2002).…”

This article aims to point out emerging roles and responsibilities for academic librarians with the potential of better integrating the library in the research process. In order to find out how to enhance the online reputation and discoverability of individual faculty members as well as their affiliated institutions, the authors worked side-by-side with researchers in the United States and Europe to explore, create, revise, and disambiguate scholarly profiles in various software applications. In an attempt to understand and organize scholarly social media, including new, alternative metrics, the authors reviewed and classified the major academic profile platforms, highlighting the overlapping elements, benefits, and drawbacks inherent in each. The consensus is that it would be time-consuming to keep one's profile current and accurate on all of these platforms, given the plethora of underlying problems, also discussed in detail in the article. However, it came as a startling discovery that reluctance to engage with scholarly social Judit Ward et al. Liber Quarterly Volume 24 Issue 4 2015175 media may cause a misrepresentation of a researcher's academic achievements and may come with unforeseen consequences. The authors claim that current skills and competencies can secure an essential role for academic librarians in the research workflow by means of monitoring and navigating researcher profiles in scholarly social media in order to best represent the scholarship of their host institutions.
