However, the need for remote rheumatology service has emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to help prevent the spread of the virus. EULAR and ACR published guidelines to address the rheumatological clinical needs safely. Synchronous and asynchronous telemedicine, including remote patient-monitoring systems, were used. The majority of telerheumatology studies focus on rheumatoid arthritis, which is reflective of the caseload in the rheumatology clinic. Connective tissue diseases are likely to pose more challenges for telemedicine use, given its multi-organ involvement and heterogeneity. The benefits of telemedicine include patient safety, minimizing travel time and time off work, and the evidence of patient satisfaction has supported this. On the other hand, the lack of clinical examination and privacy is a concern which patients might have about receiving telerheumatology care. Physicians are more comfortable providing telemedicine consultations for already-established patients, especially those with stable disease, and less with new patients. Rheumatology training has been disrupted, and rheumatology trainees were required to rapidly adapt their practices to telemedicine as outpatient clinics transitioned to virtual clinics. Tele-education and virtual rheumatology conferences have enabled education to be delivered in a more inclusive way. In conclusion, it is likely that hybrid models will be adopted for patient care after the pandemic. However, it is imperative that the patient is at the center of future telerheumatology service design.","PeriodicalId":54167,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":"17 1","pages":"394 - 401"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43381858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Journal-level metrics depend on the database whose citations are analyzed. Publication metrics from the Web of Science include the widely-used journal impact factor (JIF) and other indices such as Journal Citation Impact, Eigenfactor, normalized Eigenfactor, and Article Influence Score. Metrics from Scopus include the CiteScore, Source Normalized Impact Factor, and SCImago Journal Rank. Author-level metrics such as total citations, h-index, i10-index, and g-index inevitably increase with time and can be inflated by self-citations. Article-level metrics such as total citations and online attention scores derived from Scopus (PlumX Metrics) or Altmetric indicate the extent of utilization and discussion in scientific circles of a particular article. Publication metrics are useful to provide a bird's eye view of how well an individual journal or article has been cited or used. They do not necessarily reflect article quality. As an example, some of the articles with the highest Altmetric Attention Scores are actually retracted publications that attained high scores due to the negative debate that they elicited. Journal-level metrics such as the JIF are fluid and prone to historical fluctuations from year to year, most recently observed by increases in the JIF of journals which published a lot of coronavirus disease 19-related content. Research assessment of individual scientists often misuses publication metrics such as the JIF, when they should instead rely on a critical appraisal of research articles by assessors.","PeriodicalId":54167,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":"17 1","pages":"319 - 327"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44689878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With no or scant prior training and the pressure to publish, it is potentially a stage where ethical lapses and publishing misconducts are likely to occur. We conducted a web-based survey among medical postgraduate trainees in India to assess their awareness about publication ethics and identify the specific areas where they lacked awareness. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, web-based survey conducted among medical postgraduate trainees in India. A Google form with multiple choice type questionnaire comprising 10 items related to publication ethics was prepared and disseminated after checking its face and content validity. The questionnaire included items to assess awareness about informed consent, plagiarism, authorship issues, conflict of interest, data handling, and predatory publications. Results: A total of 205 responses were analyzed. While the respondents had better awareness about the informed consent, sample size and consequences of data fabrication (correct responses by 55%, 66%, and 77% of respondents, respectively), the responses to other questions (direct plagiarism, duplicate submission, authorship issues, reviewer's conflict of interest, conflict of interest, salami publication, and predatory journals) were varied and demonstrated a greater degree of ignorance. Majority of the respondents were unaware that a manuscript cannot be submitted to multiple journals at the same time. Conclusion: This survey shows that postgraduate medical trainees lacked adequate awareness of publication ethics. Structured approaches involving curricular exposure, focused workshops, and special courses covering these aspects may result in better awareness regarding these issues.","PeriodicalId":54167,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":"17 1","pages":"357 - 362"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43807328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We conducted a review of records to explore the clinical profile and interventions in rheumatology patients at a tertiary care center in Northern India to identify the potential problems and propose direction for the future. Results: In our experience spanning 5 weeks, among 508 rheumatology patients who sought teleconsultations, rheumatoid arthritis was the most common diagnosis (35.2'), and 43' were asked to continue the same treatment over tele consults, whereas investigations were awaited for another 16'. Nearly one-third (29.9') required an intervention, though this largely consisted of dose titrations (104 of 152, 68.4'). Certain diseases such as myositis were under-represented among consults (1.2') but over-represented (33.3') among admissions. Among the 54 patients who were asked to rate their teleconsultation experience, the voice and consultation quality were rated and average of 9.9 each, and 88.9' (48/54) said they would prefer teleconsultations until the pandemic is over. Conclusion: A sizeable proportion of rheumatology patients can be managed with teleconsultations, with some requiring greater assistance, calling for a triage protocol for the times ahead. With propositions for a deliberate transition into the realm of virtual consulting, chronic caregivers can hope to reach an optimal balance between e-consults and in-person visits.","PeriodicalId":54167,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":"17 1","pages":"418 - 421"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70777726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Publications, apart from being evidence of research productivity, have become the chief measure of assessment of a researcher for selection and promotion. This has increased the pressure on academicians to have more publications. Moreover, with advances in peer review and an increasing number of journals that want to publish “impactful research” with a bias toward positive results, the process of getting a publication has become more difficult and complex. There is a lack of awareness about ethical practices known as good publication practices (GPPs). Reporting any research in a standard manner, preregistration of clinical trials, obtaining a proper ethical clearance, maintaining patient anonymity, and getting proper consent are some of the components of GPP. Misconducts in the publication process at the author's front include data fraud, plagiarism, copyright violations, nondisclosure of conflicts of interest, and duplicate publications. The peer reviewers and editors are also prone to misconduct, either knowingly or unknowingly. Ethical misconduct should be handled appropriately at the institutional, editorial, or journal level. The custodians of these ethical pillars are largely the editors and peer reviewers who must base their decisions on suggestions and advice from the organizations standardizing the practices, such as the Committee on Publication Ethics and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.","PeriodicalId":54167,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":"17 1","pages":"334 - 341"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43059589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They often provide false or misleading information. Similarly, predatory journals have a long history of sending often aggressive and indiscriminate invitations to submit articles to them. Finally, these journals lack transparency regarding their operations. There are a large number of predatory journals that include hundreds of thousands of articles, including millions of participants who have participated in clinical research and thousands of animals included in preclinical research. The quality of reporting of these articles is disturbingly low. Unfortunately, these articles have been included in systematic reviews, meta-analyses and health policy documents. The extent to which the inclusion of these articles influence clinical practice guidelines and health policy is unknown. It is unlikely to be a zero influence. Similarly, these articles have managed to leak into what is considered trusted resources, such as PubMed. To combat the proliferation of predatory publishers and journals requires collaborative efforts on the part of many groups. Researchers need more education and resources about predatory journals. They need to be cautioned about responding to the aggressive and unsolicited E-mails they receive from these journals. Funders need to be more explicit about not allowing the use of article processing fees for publishing in predatory journals. Universities, other research organizations, and their respective libraries need to enhance their outreach concerning the problems of predatory journals and publishers. Similarly, there needs to be stronger guards against using publications from predatory journals in hiring, promotion and tenure portfolios. Finally, the research ecosystem should move away from conceptualizing whether journals are predatory or not, to a more nuanced view whereby journals and publishers are judged on their practices-high risk to lower risk.","PeriodicalId":54167,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":"17 1","pages":"328 - 333"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42055873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They constitute uncontrolled study designs with different varieties that describe important scientific observations that are missed or undetectable in other research methods. The advantages of employing case reporting include the discovery of unusual clinical conditions or unrecognized diseases, the detection of beneficial or side effects of treatments, the exploration of alternatives in clinical practice, solving ethical limitations, formulation of hypotheses, teaching, and the opportunity to generate publications. On the other hand, they have several shortcomings that limit their credibility such as the impossibility to generalize their findings, selection and recall bias, information preferences, overinterpretation (“anecdotal fallacy”), and the distraction of readers toward the unusual. The journey toward publishing a case study begins with the choice of the case, followed by an in-depth literature review on the issue. Obtaining the signed consent of the patients or their representatives and the selection of the journal for the publication of the article are the next steps. Writing a structured report may vary, but it can generally be represented by the acronym SIPDiSC: Summary (abstract), Introduction, Presentation, Discussion, Summary of the case experience, and Conclusion. Finally, a careful choice of authors should be made. Writing high-quality case reports and case series provides valuable information for clinical research, clinical practice, and medical education.","PeriodicalId":54167,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":"17 1","pages":"306 - 313"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47116636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
