Greatest famous scientific journals have set up refereeing procedures in the last fifteen years to assistance guarantee good citation practices. Humanities researchers are less mandatory about the literature than scientists are.Specific of information retrieval in the humanities is the preeminence of books over journals as information sources. While the arts and humanities advocate numerous journals, books are yet prime sources of information. Meanwhile the Source Index (or author index) of A&HCI offers comprehensive bibliographical information around each item indexed, researchers ran into a unique problem in indexing the humanities literature which they had not faced in the sciences or social sciences

Garfield's greatest contribution to science was the Science Citation Index (SCI). It is a system that used to chart connections between pieces of scientific literature. It is not only an intellectual achievement, but also an information-engineering marvel covering millions of records, from numerous subject fields and communicated over worldwide networks. These databases became the foundation of the online research tool called the Web of Knowledge. And it has now become accessible electronically via the Web of Science. Garfield enabled information retrieval to scale up basically creating the entire information science field, as we know it today. His life and work will surely inspire generations of scientists in advancing the frontiers of human knowledge. This is Informatics Studies 4(2), which is Eugene Garfield Memorial Issue. It gives a bird's eye view of Garfield's life and work and consist of an 80 page interview of Garfield published in print for the first time presenting his views on impact of information systems in scientific research, NGOs, the future of Open Access, current research, and Big science which can guide academic administrators, science policy makers in governments and scientists.

Increasingly scholars have recognized the cultural significance of self-fashioning, including not only clothing but also such body alterations as tattooing and piercing.

Special Issue: Australian Fashion Perspectives In recent years, the topic of fashion and dress has exploded on the international academic stage. Australia has not been immune to this trend and the study of fashion and dress has proliferated across the country in many disciplines and fields of study. This issue pays tribute to the growth of fashion theory in Australia by presenting a range of perspectives on fashion and dress from Downunder. All but one of the contributors research fashion in Australia while the outrider, Alison Goodrum, has explored identities about nationalism and dress in her research on the marketing of British fashion in the global marketplace. The focus of this special issue is the distinctiveness of Australian fashion perspectives in contemporary research projects especially concerning the question of cultural identity and the place of fashion and dress Downunder in the global context. The papers were first presented at the Fashion and Dress in Unaustralia Workshop as part of the Cultural Studies of Australia Annual Conference, Unaustralia, held at the University of Canberra in December 2006. The theme of the conference drew on popular debates about national identity and, concomitantly about events and phenomena that were derided as being 'Unaustralian'. The fashion and dress workshop brought together fashion researchers exploring a range of topics: trends in fashion and dress in Australia; body-clothing relations; Australian fashion and dress in the global context; the politics of fashion and dress; and issues of design, production and consumption. Selected papers from the workshop presented here examine the resonance of cultural identity in Australian fashion, how it is represented, produced and marketed.

This book examines the institutional history and disciplinary future of creative writing in the contemporary academy, looking well beyond the perennial questions 'can writing be taught?' and 'should writing be taught?'. Paul Dawson traces the emergence of creative writing alongside the new criticism in American universities; examines the writing workshop in relation to theories of creativity and literary criticism; and analyzes the evolution of creative writing pedagogy alongside and in response to the rise of 'theory' in America, England and Australia. Dawson argues that the discipline of creative writing developed as a series of pedagogic responses to the long-standing 'crisis' in literary studies. His polemical account provides a fresh perspective on the importance of creative writing to the emergence of the 'new humanities' and makes a major contribution to current debates about the role of the writer as public intellectual.
