The objective of this study is to present the philosophy of open archives as an instrument for occupational health and safety (OHS) management. The survey method stands for the bibliography research, together with an interview session with the 23 OSH management professionals that enabled the further understanding about access level and the perception on scientifi c information by these professionals. Qualitative and quantitative questionnaire analysis showed the open archives initiative, through digital information repositories as an instrument for the occupational health and safety management, as well as need of developing policies on incentive toCi.

Entretanto, o alto custo e a escassez de recursos são apenas duas barreiras para o acesso a este campo a ser explorado. Na área de segurança e saúde no trabalho, não é diferente. As barreiras encontradas pelos profi ssionais durante o processo de recuperação de informações, sobretudo aquelas oriundas de experimentos científi cos, geram a necessidade da refl exão sobre formas de promover o giro do capital intelectual entre os profi ssionais da área.A cooperação do conhecimento científi co humano pode trazer benefícios para a sociedade, e a Internet tem grande contribuição neste sentido, considerando que a comunicação entre os pesquisadores se dá de forma mais fl uida e ágil no espaço virtual. Contudo, a popularização da Internet gerou ruídos no fl uxo científi co, uma vez que o "lixo eletrônico" criou barreiras na seleção de informações idôneas, bem como na verifi cação da legitimidade dos dados apresentados, em especial na área de Segurança e Saúde no Trabalho (SST), em que as fontes de informações são escassas e restritas, em relação às demais áreas do conhecimento humano.Uma das alternativas para minimizar os impactos destes ruídos no fl uxo informacional é a criação de ambientes virtuais especializados, os chamados arquivos abertos (AA). Estes AA possibilitam o direcionamento das informações a um público alvo, promovem a quebra de práticas burocráticas no processo de publicação de documentos, estabelecem a interoperabilidade entre sistemas e a comunicação na comunidade científi ca, promovem o multidimensionamento das formas de acesso aos estudos disponibilizados por tais vias, além de permitir o gerenciamento dos índices qualitativos das informações postadas, garantindo um índice de confi abilidade razoável.Em face desses apontamentos, os objetivos principais do estudo enfocaram a utilização de repositórios digitais de informação sob a fi losofi a de disseminação de informações utilizada na iniciativa de arquivos abertos como uma alternativa para a promoção do giro do capital intelectual e da comunicabilidade científi ca entre os pares, enquanto os objetivos secundários foram a identifi cação da iniciativa em questão como instrumento de apoio à gestão da segurança e saúde ...
PurposeThis article explores citing and referencing systems in social sciences and medicine articles from different theoretical and practical perspectives, considering bibliographic references as a facet of descriptive representation.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis of citing and referencing elements (i.e. bibliographic references, mentions, quotations and respective in-text reference pointers) identified citing and referencing habits within disciplines under consideration and errors occurring over the long term as stated by previous studies now expanded. Future expected trends of information retrieval from bibliographic metadata was gathered by approaching these referencing elements from the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) entities concepts.FindingsReference styles do not fully accomplish with their role of guiding authors and publishers on providing concise and well-structured bibliographic metadata within bibliographic references. Trends on representative description revision suggest a predicted distancing on the ways information is approached by bibliographic references and bibliographic catalogs adopting FRBR concepts, including the description levels adopted by each of them under the perspective of the FRBR entities concept.Research limitations/implicationsThis study was based on a subset of medicine and social sciences articles published in 2019 and, therefore, it may not be taken as a final and broad coverage. Future studies expanding these approaches to other disciplines and chronological periods are encouraged.Originality/valueBy approaching citing and referencing issues as descriptive representation's facets, findings on this study may encourage further studies that will support information science and computer science on providing tools to become bibliographic metadata description simpler, better structured and more efficient facing the revision of descriptive representation actually in progress.
In this work, we investigate existing citation practices by analysing a huge set of articles published in journals to measure which metadata are used across the various scholarly disciplines, independently from the particular citation style adopted, for defining bibliographic reference. We selected the most cited journals in each of the 27 subject areas listed in the SCImago Journal Rank in the 2015–2017 triennium according to the SCImago total cites ranking. Each journal in the sample was represented by five articles (in PDF format) published in the most recent issue published in October 2019, for a total of 729 articles. We extracted all 34,140 bibliographic references in the bibliographic references lists of these articles. Finally, we detected the types of cited works in each discipline and the structure of bibliographic references and in-text reference pointers for each type of cited work. By analysing the data gathered, we observed that the bibliographic references in our sample referenced 36 different types of cited works. Such a considerable variety of publications revealed the existence of particular citing behaviours in scientific articles that varied from subject area to subject area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
