How to increase your h index and paper citation
Nelson Tansu was able to increase his h-index from 20 to 43 in just 3 years by employing strategies like heavy self-citation of his own work, encouraging students and co-authors to cite his papers, publishing the same work multiple times with self-citations, presenting many non-refereed conference papers containing self-citations, rapidly self-citing in the first two sentences of papers, becoming an editor of journals to coerce citations to his work from authors, and forming citation clubs or cartels with colleagues. Some of these strategies have been criticized as questionable or coercive ways to artificially boost citations and metrics.
Bibliometrics law
Bibliometrics is the application of mathematical and statistical methods to analyze publications. It is used to study written communication and measure outputs. Common bibliometric methods are citation analysis and content analysis. Bibliometrics helps identify key journals, rank publications, evaluate research output, and measure the usefulness of information services. Important bibliometric laws include Lotka's law, Bradford's law, and Zipf's law, which describe publication and word frequency distributions.
Research articles
This document provides an introduction to research articles and how to identify them. It explains that research articles are published in peer-reviewed scholarly journals and have specific characteristics, such as being lengthy and including references. While scholarly journals may contain other article types like editorials, research articles can be identified by having an abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections. The document also provides guidance on searching for research articles in databases like ProQuest Central.
Bibliometric study
Bibliometrics literally means "book measurement" but the term is used about all kinds of documents (with journal articles as the dominant kind of document).
What is measured are not the physical properties of documents but statistical patterns in variables such as authorship, sources, subjects, geographical origins, and citations.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Descrihe what is meant by "primary literature" in the
health sciences.
2. Discuss the characteristics of the major primary and
summarizing databases used by health professionals.
3. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of searching
the Internet for professional health information.
4. Illustrate how popular Internet search engines can be
used to find unique information in the health sciences.
The primary literature in the health sciences consists of re-
ports of original research generally published in the form of
articles in scholarly/academic journals. Ihe articles in these
journals are indexed by searchable databases such as MED-
LINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE, which function as an aid
to finding articles on a desired topic. The primary literature
has the advantage of being a direct communication from the
researchers who performed the inv.

Scopus and other Resources for Chemists and Chemical Engineers
Scopus is a multidisciplinary database containing over 15,000 peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings back to the mid-1960s. It provides abstracts and citations across various scientific fields. While it has good coverage, it is not exhaustive and some journals have incomplete indexing prior to 1996. It is best to search multiple databases for comprehensive results.
Chemical Abstracts to Scifinder Scholar
Chemical Abstracts (CAS) is a database covering chemistry research literature from 1907 to present. It is organized into 80 sections on topics like organic chemistry, biochemistry, and inorganic chemistry. CAS is available in both print and online versions. The online version, STN International, allows searching of CAS and other databases, while the Scifinder Scholar version is available through a web interface and allows up to two simultaneous users with NJIT accounts. Scifinder Scholar can search topics, substances, authors and other fields to find references, substances and related information for analyzing search results. Training resources are available on the CAS website for both the web and client versions of Scifinder Scholar.
How to Find Physical Properties of Chemical Substances
This document discusses how to find physical and thermodynamic property data for chemical substances from various sources. It explains that such data is important for chemists and engineers. It describes how data is compiled from original research articles into print and electronic sources, but that no single source contains all known properties. It provides examples of print and electronic sources like NIST Chemistry WebBook and Scifinder Scholar to search for specific property data. It emphasizes that multiple sources may need to be checked to find data for uncommon substances.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
