Abstract(s)
Účel – Víc jak 40 let se diskutuje otázka příčiny existence více citačních stylů. Cílem této pilotní studie bylo provést výzkum mezi českými biomedicínskými časopisy a jejich editory, jaké citační styly používají a jak důležité jsou pro ně údaje v citacích včetně jejich podoby a citačních metod. Design/metodologie/přístup – Na webech 185 českých biomedicínských časopisů byly vyhledány citační pokyny a expertní analýzou identifikovány používané citační styly a podle vzorů bibliografických citací požadované citační údaje. Formou dotazníkového šetření bylo osloveno 185 editorů českých biomedicínských časopisů za účelem zjištění, proč používají jiný citační styl než AMA, Vancouver/NLM a Uniform requirements a jak jsou důležité údaje v bibliografických citacích článku, knihy/kapitoly v knize a webové stránky a kterou preferují citační metodu. Výsledky – Ze 185 periodik styly AMA, NLM/Vancouver nebo Uniform requirements používá 16 časopisů a 34 v nějak modifikované úpravě. Ze 185 oslovených editorů 37 zodpovědělo první část dotazníku k údajům v citacích a 31 k citačním metodám. Podle nich je důležité vždy uvést autory, název článku/kapitoly, název časopisu/knihy a rok vydání. Ostatní údaje v citacích čtvrtina a více respondentů nepovažuje za důležité. Z citačních metod editoři preferují citation-seqence. Při srovnání názoru editorů a vzorů citací v jimi zastupovaných časopisech se ukázalo, že ani v jednom časopise požadované údaje neodpovídají názoru editora. Originalita/hodnota – Zatímco podle dosud publikovaných názorů jsou příčinou užívání více stylů místo standardizovaného rozdílné potřeby autorů a vydavatelů, tento pilotní výzkum odhalil možnost příčiny i v samotných standardizovaných stylech nedostatečně reflektujících reálnou praxi ve vědeckém publikování.
Purpose – The cause of the existence of various citation styles has been discussed for more than 40 years. This pilot study aimed to examine Czech biomedical journals and their editors to find what citation style is recommended and editors' bibliographic references and citation methods preferences. Design/Methodology/Approach – The research sample consisted of 185 Czech biomedical journals. Expert analysis was applied to identify citation styles used by the journals and a structure of bibliographic references. Then 185 editors were asked to fill a survey on reasons for using different citation styles than AMA, Vancouver/NLM or Uniform requirements and how important data is in bibliographic references of articles, books/chapters in books and websites. They were also asked for their citation method preferences. Results – From the 185 periodicals, AMA, NLM/Vancouver or Uniform requirements are used by 16 journals and in some modified form by 34 journals. From the 185 editors, 37 replied to the first part of the questionnaire on citation data and 31 on citation methods. According to them, authors, the title of the article/chapter, the title of the journal/book and the year of publication are the most important data in bibliographic references. However, a quarter or more respondents do not consider other data in references to be important and editors prefer citation-sequence as a citation method. Comparing the editors' opinion and the examples of references in their journals showed that none of the journals' reference data comply with the editor's opinion. Originality/Value – Formerly published studies declared a different need of authors and publishers as the main reason for using various citation styles instead of the standardized one. This pilot study brings a new view on Czech biomedical journal customs concerning references and suggests drawing attention to the fact that standardized styles may insufficiently reflect real practice in scientific publishing.
