Bibliometric studies on single journals: a review
This paper covers a total of 82 bibliometric studies on single journals (62 studies cover unique titles) published between 1998 and 2008 grouped into the following fields; Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (12 items); Medical and Health Sciences (19 items); Sciences and Technology (30 items) and Library and Information Sciences (21 items). Under each field the studies are described in accordance to their geographical location in the following order, United Kingdom, United States and Americana, Europe, Asia (India, Africa and Malaysia). For each study, elements described are (a) the journal’s publication characteristics and indexation information; (b) the objectives; (c) the sampling and bibliometric measures used; and (d) the results observed. A list of journal titles studied is appended. The results show that (a)bibliometric studies cover journals in various fields; (b) there are several revisits of some journals which are considered important; (c) Asian and African contributions is high (41.4 of total studies; 43.5 covering unique titles), United States (30.4 of total; 31.0 on unique titles), Europe (18.2 of total and 14.5 on unique titles) and the United Kingdom (10 of total and 11 on unique titles); (d) a high number of bibliometrists are Indians and as such coverage of Indian journals is high (28 of total studies; 30.6 of unique titles); and (e) the quality of the journals and their importance either nationally or internationally are inferred from their indexation status
The Fairness Doctrine: Time for the Graveyard?
The comments examines the rationale for the fairness doctrine, the obligations arising under it, and the FCC\u27s administration of the doctrine. It further analyzes the judicial construction of the doctrine with emphasis on the doctrine\u27s functional role and Constitutional ramifications. The fairness doctrine is part of a basic broadcast philosophy that mandates viewpoints on any controversial issue of public importance be fairly presented. It is partially codified by the FCC. However, after litigation, it seems clear to the courts that the fairness doctrine and the first amendment cannot share a peaceful coexistence. It may well be that the Court is waiting for a propitious opportunity to declare that the first amendment must prevail. The Federal Communications Commission will soon be required to oversee a potential source of virtually unlimited information making this job nearly impossible

Public relations strategies based on dramatization are key tools to achieving success in
electoral campaigns. Press offices play a fundamental role as theatre directors, turning their leaders into
great actors. What at first glance would look like a theatrical performance is, more than ever, what

reinforce the news. This research paper analyses 2,463 articles from eight digital newspapers in four
countries to learn about the impact of visuals and dramatization on the European press. It seems
paradoxical that the progressive newspapers devoted more articles to Trump than the conservative
newspapers. A lack of time on the part of the journalists? What is certain is that the visuals prepared by
Trump’s press office and his perfectly designed public appearances, were reproduced by the media. The
study shows that the progressive newspapers analysed have contributed to giving Trump greater
visibility in Europe
