The impact of COVID-19 on open access publishing in radiology and nuclear medicine: an in-depth analysis.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous initiatives have been implemented to ensure open access availability of COVID-19-related articles to make published articles accessible for anyone. This study aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on open-access publishing in radiology and nuclear medicine. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of articles and reviews published in these fields during the COVID-19 publishing era using the Web of Science database.

Radiology During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Mapping Radiology Literature in 2020.

Objectives: Our aim was to assess articles published in the field of radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging in 2020 and analyze the linkage of radiology-related topics with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) through literature mapping along with a bibliometric analysis for publications.

Methods: We performed a search on the Web of Science Core Collection database for articles in the field of radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging published in 2020. We analyzed the included articles using VOS viewer software, where we analyzed the co-occurrence of keywords, representing major topics discussed.

Dedicated COVID-19 Resource Center in Radiology Journals: Its Citation Metrics and Altmetrics Impact.

Background: Since the emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), several journals have established a dedicated resource center for all the articles published on COVID-19. Our study compared the altmetric impact captured by articles published in journals having a COVID-19 resource center.

Methods: We used the Web of Science database to assess radiology journals publishing the most common articles on COVID-19.

Quantification of Optic Nerve Cross Sectional Area on MRI: A Novel Protocol using Fiji Software.

Optic nerve assessment is an important aspect of glaucoma diagnosis and follow-up. This project describes a protocol for a unified methodology of optic nerve cross-sectional assessment and quantification using 3 T MRI for image acquisition and ImageJ's Fiji software for image processing quantification. Image acquisition was performed using 3 T MRI, with proper instructions for the patient to ensure straight fixation during imaging.

Assessment of final-year medical students' performance in diagnosing critical findings on chest X-ray.

Purpose: Due to the recently emerging shortage in medical staff during the novel corona virus pandemic, several countries have rushed their undergraduate medical students into the emergency department. The accuracy of diagnosing critical findings on X-rays by senior medical students is not well assessed. In this study, we aim to assess the knowledge and accuracy of undergraduate final-year medical students in diagnosing life-threatening emergency conditions on chest x-ray.

Comparing the Attention Score Between American and European Cardiology Guidelines.

Introduction: The American College of Cardiology (ACC) in USA and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in Europe have issued around 25 practice cardiology guidelines since 2008. The attention and impact of these guidelines have not been investigated yet.

Aim: In this study, we aim to compare the attention brought up by ACC and ESC guidelines.

Comparing Bibliometric Analysis Using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Databases.

Literature databases (i.e., PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) differ in terms of their coverage, focus, and the tool they provide.

The Impact of Open Access Status on Journal Indexes of Radiology Journals.

The impact of open access (OA) journals is still understudied in the field of radiology. In this study, we compared the measures of impact (e.g.

The impact of skin involvement on the psychological well-being of patients with sarcoidosis.

Background: Physicians frequently face challenges when screening and managing mental health impairment caused by different diseases, particularly those involving the skin.

Objective: We aim to identify the major aspects of mental health impairment related to secondary skin involvement occurring in sarcoidosis patients.

Methods: A total of 718 patients with a biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of sarcoidosis were included from the A Case Control Etiologic Study of Sarcoidosis (ACCESS) study.

Factors Affecting Attenuation of Dural Sinuses on Noncontrasted Computed Tomography Scan.

Background And Purpose: Noncontrasted computed tomography (NCCT) is used as the initial neuroimaging test of choice for patients who present with new-onset neurological symptoms. An apparently hyperattenuated venous sinus may lead to the suspicion of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Improved understanding of all factors that can affect attenuation of dural sinuses can guide triage of patients to or from further investigations of suspected CVST.
