This article describes the historical evolution of the journal BiD through an analysis of three key stages: foundation (1998–2003), consolidation (2004–2012) and growth (2013 to the present). It examines aspects related to the editorial structure, sections, layout and inclusion in databases during each of these stages. Secondly, it analyses the present status of the 19 information science journals currently active in Spain based on four general characteristics (longevity, editor profile, inclusion in databases and open-access publication), and then compares these aspects to the situation 20 years ago through an assessment of three studies carried out at that time. Finally, it examines the evolution of the journal BiD and outlines its future challenges.
Objetivo: Analisar a influência dos critérios de avaliação no perfil de publicação dos pesquisadores de Turismo.
Metodologia: Análise dos critérios de avaliação da produção científica da área de Administração, Ciências Contábeis e Turismo, conduzido pela CAPES, com base nos documentos de área e na lista de periódicos classificados; e do perfil de publicação, por meio dos currículos Lattes dos pesquisadores dos programas de pós-graduação da área de Turismo.
Resultados: Os resultados apontam que os critérios de avaliação de periódicos da Administração, Ciências Contábeis e Turismo aumentaram sua dependência do Fator de Impacto JCR na transição dos triênios analisados. A determinação de critérios com base neste indicador reforça a hegemonia de grandes editoras comerciais, além de fazer com que os periódicos de Administração predominem nos estratos mais altos. O perfil de publicação dos pesquisadores de Turismo mostrou que: 61,2 % de sua produção se dão em periódicos da própria área, sendo cerca de 2/3 desta em periódicos domésticos; além de estar concentrada entre os estratos A2 a B3; e quando publicando em periódicos internacionais preferem o idioma espanhol, seguido do português. Passam a publicar em periódicos de Administração e Contabilidade a partir de 2013, predominando o idioma inglês; a primeira publicação no estrato A1 ocorre em periódico da área de Administração, no ano de 2014.
Objectives: This paper aims to identify and critically evaluate the extant knowledge about professors’ perceptions of university students’ plagiarism. A clearer comprehension of these perceptions will allow us to forward the literature on this topic by pointing avenues for further research and policy.
Methodology: We explored professors’ perception of student plagiarism through an integrative literature review. To undertake this review, we searched the literature from 2000 to 2016 using a range of keyword combinations related to professors’ perception of plagiarism. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were implemented to choose abstracts and then full papers. In order to ensure the rigor of the review, we also employed a systematic analytical framework.
— Results: The twenty-two studies identified revealed greatly contrasting and uneven perceptions about students’ plagiarism among professors. Our findings indicate that it is necessary to focus not only on professors’ perceptions of what plagiarism is as a concept, but also to map to what extent this is an important, prevalent and severe issue for them. In the same vein, we highlight that such perceptions and the causes professors attribute to the reasons why students plagiarise may have a strong relationship with the actions they ultimate undertake to deal with this issue. Finally, we reflect on the additional problems caused by inconsistent implementation of responses to plagiarism at all academic levels.

This paper looks at Helsinki’s new city library, the Helsinki Central Library Oodi, which was launched by the Finnish Ministry of Culture in 1998 and will be opening its doors in December 2018. Located in the heart of the city opposite Parliament House, the Library has become one of the flagship projects celebrating the centenary of Finland’s independence. This paper focuses on the practices of citizen participation which have been key in the planning of the Library since its very beginnings, and considers how including the citizens and library users in planning the Library’s new services and functions has promoted grass roots democracy, openness, and a feeling of ownership of the new library.
