Glioma cell lines are an important tool for research in basic and translational neuro-oncology. Documentation of their genetic identity has become a requirement for scientific journals and grant applications to exclude cross-contamination and misidentification that lead to misinterpretation of results. Here, we report the standard 16 marker short tandem repeat (STR) DNA fingerprints for a panel of 39 widely used glioma cell lines as reference. Comparison of the fingerprints among themselves and with the large DSMZ database comprising 9 marker STRs for 2278 cell lines uncovered 3 misidentified cell lines and confirmed previously known cross-contaminations. Furthermore, 2 glioma cell lines exhibited identity scores of 0.8, which is proposed as the cutoff for detecting cross-contamination. Additional characteristics, comprising lack of a B-raf mutation in one line and a similarity score of 1 with the original tumor tissue in the other, excluded a cross-contamination. Subsequent simulation procedures suggested that, when using DNA fingerprints comprising only 9 STR markers, the commonly used similarity score of 0.8 is not sufficiently stringent to unambiguously differentiate the origin. DNA fingerprints are confounded by frequent genetic alterations in cancer cell lines, particularly loss of heterozygosity, that reduce the informativeness of STR markers and, thereby, the overall power for distinction. The similarity score depends on the number of markers measured; thus, more markers or additional cell line characteristics, such as information on specific mutations, may be necessary to clarify the origin.

During the year 2005, the chief residents of the University Medical Outpatient Clinic of Lausanne have done a database of useful articles for daily practice, scientifically validated and with excellent didactic quality, from 10 electronic journals. They have used those selected articles in personal meetings between the chief residents on a regular basis and the possibility to access the database by the junior physicians. Six of these articles concerning different topics (depression, tuberculosis detection, anticoagulation at home, cholinesterase inhibitors, insomnia and therapies, transdermal nitroglycerin and tendinopathies) are presented.

El objetivo del artículo es el establecimiento de un conjunto de parámetros e indicadores que permitan la evaluación de revistas electrónicas accesibles vía web. La metodología empleada consiste en analizar los parámetros e indicadores genéricos descritos por Lluís Codina y concretarlos, a partir de ejemplos, para que puedan ser aplicados en un recurso web específico: una revista electrónica. Una vez definidos los indicadores específicos, se procederá a evaluar con ellos la revista BiD, de la Facultat de Biblioteconomia i Documentació de la Universitat de Barcelona, con la finalidad de comprobar su funcionalidad. Del resultado del estudio, se destacan los puntos débiles que en la actualidad presenta la revista y se establecen un conjunto de propuestas destinadas a mejorarlos.

[eng] This article analyses articles and papers related to journalistic documentation that have been published in journals and in conference proceedings in Spain over the period 1997-2002. There is a listing of all articles as well as a summary of those that have followed scientific research processes. The results of the analysis of the articles' content are explored, according to different parameters: proportion of research, methods and research techniques articles studied, authorship, authors' place of work, type of publication and distribution by year. The article closes with some conclusions about research on journalistic documentation in the period studied.

[eng] The article describes the background and current state of the open access (OA) movement. Its objectives --with roots in scientists' traditional desire to disseminate their works, in librarians' concerns about the serials crisis, and in technological advances-- were formally articulated in the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) declaration of 2002. This statement established two strategies for providing access to scientific information without any economic, technical, or legal obstacles: 1) publication of articles in OA journals or 2) deposit by authors of their works in stable institutional or subject-based repositories. The article suggests that this second "route" appears to offer greater possibilities of attaining open access in the short term. However, there still is a lot of work to be done in disseminating the concepts of OA and in training authors regarding procedures for depositing their works: in other words what is needed is a series of promotional activities for overcoming one of today's greatest challenges: author inertia.

Es presenten els antecedents i les característiques principals de les revistes científiques digitals. A continuació es repassen els principals indicadors que es tenen en compte per avaluar revistes digitals, agrupats en tres grans apartats: aspectes formals, adequació al mitjà digital, difusió i impacte. Per acabar, es presenten unes reflexions sobre la credibilitat d¿aquest tipus de publicacions.

Parlar de fonts primàries i secundàries i d'obtenció de documents originals potser passarà a la història d'aquí a molts pocs anys. Ens trobem en un sector en què l'única cosa clara és que ningú ho té clar. Sembla que abans tothom tenia el seu paper delimitat, però actualment la tradicional cadena de la informació és un veritable garbuix de possibles vies de transmissió. Ens trobem que tothom fa diversos papers i a l'usuari se li presenten mœltiples opcions. La competència entre els proveïdors-intermediaris és cada vegada més gran i alguns quasi s'estan quedant sense marges comercials. Al final, els que tenen el poder són els propietaris-productors de la informació.

El desenvolupament dels recursos electrònics d¿accés remot, amb unes característiques ben diferents dels materials que tradicionalment han omplert els prestatges de les biblioteques, ha accelerat la revisió de les normatives de descripció i de catalogació i dels principis mateixos en què es basen. Es repassa l¿estat actual de la revisió de les normes pel que fa a les publicacions seriades i es comenten alguns problemes del tractament catalogràfic deles revistes en línia.

The evaluation of the quality and impact of journals as a starting point to systematise the quality of research is an indirect method commonly used for obtaining information for systematic and major evaluation efforts, such as those needed for public tenders to aid projects and research groups. Nevertheless, this method runs into an important obstacle: preparing rankings of journals in the humanities and social sciences is considerably more complex than for those on experimental, biomedical or technological sciences. Cultural, linguistic and territorial components of research in the humanities and social sciences radically question the international rankings. Within this context, the article presents the experience of a study-in-progress whose intention is to evaluate the rankings of journals in the humanities and social sciences published in 1997 by the Generalitat de Catalunya. Even thought an attempt was made to bring this type of titles closer to the Catalan community of researchers, the initiative has been frequently surrounded by controversy and criticism and, at the present, does not enjoy the needed recognition of the Catalan academic sector.

Se describe la evolución del proyecto MIAR (Matriu d'Informació per l'Avaluació de Revistes), un sistema originalmente diseñado para cuantificar la indización en bases de datos de revistas de humanidades y ciencias sociales. Sin embargo, a la vista del panorama de recursos de evaluación actualmente disponibles en España, los autores plantean la transformación de MIAR hacia un portal colaborativo en el que todos los interesados puedan difundir las principales características de las revistas en las que participan directa o indirectamente. Se estudia una transformación del proyecto contemplando el uso de redes sociales, sistemas de votación y de sugerencia, y la aplicación de tecnologías como open linked data que permiten una mayor difusión y socialización de los datos recogidos para cada publicación. De esta manera los datos podrían ser mejor aprovechados por los tres colectivos más directamente interesados: evaluadores, editores y autores/lectores.

A citation analysis was carried out on the most important research journals in the field of Catalan literature between 1974 and 2003. The indicators and qualitative parameters obtained show the value of performing citation analysis in cultural and linguistic areas that are poorly covered by the A&HCI. Catalan literature shows a similar pattern to that of humanities in general, but it could still be in a stage of consolidation because too little work has as yet been published.
