FACULTY AUTHORS BIBLIOGRAPHY

July 2000 - June 2001

INTRODUCTION

The eighth New York Medical College Faculty Authors Bibliography, July 2000-June 2001, continues what has become an annual compilation of scholarly works produced by our faculty. With strong support of the Provost and Deans, the staff of the Medical Sciences Library continues to weave the story of the academic achievement of our faculty. This bibliography is presented in print form to all faculty authors and continues to be available in electronic form at http://library.nymc.edu.

This year the continuation of this labor-intensive work was at one point a question--- particularly given the extraordinary upheaval caused by major construction and renovations. After careful consideration, the staff felt the recognition and acknowledgement of individuals, departments and the College was important enough reason to continue. Our Provost and Dean affirmed the value that the bibliography represents and shared this conviction. Per the historian, Doris Kearns Goodwin, stories are important and foster the life of an organization and its people. Our annual story goes on.

Begun in September 1993, this year’s New York Medical College faculty citations total 622 books, book chapters, journals, journal articles, editorials, reviews, letters and electronic sources representing the publishing efforts of 356 faculty members. Only faculty whose writings cited New York Medical College between July 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001 are included in this annual compilation. The list of faculty members is provided by the New York Medical College’s School of Medicine/Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences, and the Graduate School of Health Sciences as of June 6, 2001.

Citations are as accurate as possible based upon available information. The published literature is uneven by nature and not all published citations bear the same level of editorial scrutiny. All sources are checked to ensure bibliographic quality and completeness.

Sources

Journals, Journal Articles, Editorials, Reviews and Letters

To identify NYMC faculty publications, the following indexing/abstracting sources were searched: MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and LEXIS-NEXIS. The search methodology combined the designated field containing the author affiliation address with the publication years. In addition, letters and e-mails were sent to faculty and chairs of departments, program directors and course coordinators soliciting lists of current publications of their faculty. The appropriate deans were also consulted.

A basic citation limit must be noted. Some databases, such as MEDLINE include only the address of the first author. This affects the ability to capture second, third etc. NYMC authors in citations.

Books and Chapters of Books

The selection of books and chapters of books was made through library acquisition lists and author submissions. For the most part, books and chapters of books are not indexed in either print or electronic databases. Therefore, authors are continually encouraged to alert the library about newly published books and chapters.

Arrangement

The arrangement of the bibliography is in two parts: by author and by department. Citations are formatted in accordance with the American National Standard Institute for Bibliographic References ANSI Z39.29-1977. Part one contains a list of bibliographic citations alphabetized by first authors. Each college author who is not a first author is cross-referenced to the full citation under the name of the first author. Part two contains a listing of all College authors by departments and/or schools.

This bibliography is edited and compiled by Cheryl Silver, Assistant Professor and Assistant Director of Information Processing. Nina Kurzban, Librarian and Paul-John Ramos, Assistant Collection Development Librarian, provided invaluable support in the production of this bibliography. A special thanks goes to the Interlibrary loan staff for their assistance in the verification of citations.

Above all, the Medical Sciences Library is pleased to acknowledge the scholarly contributions of the faculty. The staff is even more pleased to receive the support of the President, Provost, Deans, Department Chairs, and, most importantly, our publishing faculty.
