Are multidisciplinary journals truly multidisciplinary, and, how has the multidisciplinary character of these journals evolved over the long term? Here, we assess these questions by analyzing data from the Journal Citation Reports. We examined 983,246 articles and reviews published between 1980 and 2021 in 127 journals categorized under 'Multidisciplinary Sciences'. We found that the representation of the main branches of knowledge in multidisciplinary journals was uneven and, in general, not proportional to the global research effort dedicated to each branch.

Biologically mediated nanoparticle (NP) synthesis offers a reliable and sustainable alternative route for metal NP production. Compared with conventional chemical and physical production methods that require hazardous materials and considerable energy expenditure, some microorganisms can reduce metal ions into NPs during standard metabolic processes. However, to be considered a feasible commercial option, the properties and inherent activity of bio-NPs still need to be significantly improved.

Article Synopsis
  • Clozapine use is primarily associated with the risk of neutropenia, but there is limited research on adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and fatal outcomes in patients under 18 years old.
  • A study analyzed 2,825 reports of clozapine usage in this age group, revealing 42 fatal outcomes, with the most common ADR being decreased white blood cell count, while suicide was a significant cause of non-duplicated fatalities.
  • To better prevent fatal outcomes in young patients, child and adolescent psychiatrists should broaden their focus beyond severe neutropenia to include other serious ADRs like pneumonia, while still being cautious of the risk of overdose in those at risk for suicide.
