From time immemorial, the body of scientific knowledge has grown with incremental additions of research. Metrics-based research evaluation provides crucial information regarding research credibility that would be difficult to understand by means of individual expertise. h-index and its modifications give an approximate quantitative measure of research output. Furthermore, g-index, e-index, ħ-index and i10-index address various intricacies involving authorship. Altmetrics and Plum X metrics are newer usage metrics that put an additional weightage on the impact on social media, usage, capture and scholarly networking. Indirect evaluation of research can also be obtained from the Journal Impact Factor in which the research is published but with certain limitations. While the scientific community is still waiting for a unique one-stop solution based on a high-quality robust process to exert judgement on research, the Leiden Manifesto comprising ten principles for research assessment can act as a guiding tool for development of a comprehensive evaluation system.

Moreover, it is frequently accompanied by bipolar disorder (BD) as well as borderline personality disorder (BPD). It is unclear whether these disorders share underlying pathomechanisms, given that all three are characterized by alterations in affective states, either long or short-term.

Moving beyond word frequency based on tally counting: AI-generated familiarity estimates of words and phrases are an interesting additional index of language knowledge.

Behav Res Methods

December 2024

ETSI de Telecomunicación, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Avenida Complutense, 30, 28040, Madrid, Spain.

This study investigates the potential of large language models (LLMs) to estimate the familiarity of words and multi-word expressions (MWEs). We validated LLM estimates for isolated words using existing human familiarity ratings and found strong correlations. LLM familiarity estimates performed even better in predicting lexical decision and naming performance in megastudies than the best available word frequency measures.

Background: Studies on acceptance of cosmetic surgery may not be cross-culturally invariant, but little is known about it in non-Western populations. Therefore, it is necessary to develop cross-cultural research on it.

Methods: 230 international students in China aged 18-27 years (M = 21.

Plastic Surgery Department, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, No. 2 Cherry Garden East Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100029, China.

Background: Congenital hypoplasia of the depressor labii inferioris muscle can lead to Asymmetrical crying facies(ACF). The objective of this research was to examine the alterations in both static and dynamic facial symmetry following the resection of the depressor labii inferioris on the healthy side through an intraoral approach.

Methods: Patients exhibiting palsy of the depressor labii inferioris muscles were included in the study.

Introduction: Continued interest in the optimization of recovery in aesthetics has led to the exploration of adjunctive therapies. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) serves as one such therapy that may have an impact in this field. HBOT is hypothesized to improve ischemia, reduce swelling, and minimize secondary hypoxic tissue damage.
