HCUP tools and software

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) is a family of healthcare databases and related software tools and products developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership and sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Among the open software they make available, we can highlight:

- Clinical Classification System (CCS) for ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM.

IGI Global: is a open access publisher?

Colours of Sheroa/Romeo are ambiguous and not easy for researcher to understand if a publisher has a Open Access policy or not.
For example, the color of IGI Global is Blue, "Can archive post-print (ie final draft post-refereeing) or publisher's version/PDF" and if we read the "General Conditions" says that "Publisher's version/PDF must be used"...
For a researcher this could be a Open Access publisher but not. They don't allow post-print, or pre print, and we need to pay APC "Article processing charge "...

The terms and definitions are not easy! We need to simplify this "taxonomy"!

LNCRNA

Full name is long non coding RNA. Compared with common protein coding RNAs, which we are familiar with, they don't generate a protein product. Instead, lncRNA tend to regulate the expression of other protein coding genes with pre/post transcriptional regulations.

M

Materials

Materials, an international, peer-reviewed Open Access journal. The journal aims to publish research related to materials properties and functions. 

MyData

MyData refers 1) to a new approach, a paradigm shift in personal data management and processing that seeks to transform the current organization centric system to a human centric system, 2) to personal data as a resource that the individual can access and control.

Sometimes people decide to share MyData, e.g. DNA raw data or data from wearables. This creates possibilities for new participant-centered approaches for health and personal data sharing, research, and citizen science.

Predatory Publishing

Predatory publishing generally refers to the systematic for-profit publication of purportedly scholarly content (in journals and articles, monographs, books, or conference proceedings) in a deceptive or fraudulent way and without any regard for quality assurance. (Definition taken from COPE - Committee on Publication Ethics)

Further information

  • Beall's List is a resource that helps you find out whether an OA journal that you plan to publish with is considered questionable or predatory: https://beallslist.net/
  • More detailed information about the practice of predatory publishing and why it harms the reputation of scientists and Open Access Journals can be found in this discussion paper compiled by COPE: https://publicationethics.org/files/cope_dd_a4_pred_publishing_nov19_screenaw.pdf
