FACULTY AUTHORS BIBLIOGRAPHY

July 2001 - June 2002

INTRODUCTION

The New York Medical College Faculty Authors Bibliography, July 2001-June 2002, is the ninth annual compilation of faculty scholarship that has been published during the past academic year. The bibliography is produced by the staff of the Medical Sciences Library and is available in print and electronic form. The electronic form is accessible on the campus network as a link on the Medical Sciences Library’s WWW homepage (http://library.nymc.edu).

This bibliography is an outgrowth of the Medical Sciences Library's first Author Recognition Celebration on September 22, 1993. The success of that first event generated enthusiastic support for more comprehensive recognition and the desire for a substantive bibliography which resulted in this publication. In January 2002 the event was co-sponsored as a faculty development activity.

The creation of the database began with letters and submission forms sent in July 2002, to over 2900 NYMC faculty members. The same letter was also sent to department heads, program directors, course coordinators, and the deans of the respective schools. This letter was then followed by an email reminder (September 2002). In addition the standard bibliographical sources, mentioned below, were searched and added to our database. Some duplication occurred but was later eliminated; 34% (232 citations) required manual entry.

In an effort to meet model standards of documentation, each submitted citation was verified by obtaining a copy of the publication. Copies were obtained from the author, from the MSL collection or through interlibrary loan. All authors should cite New York Medical College and have published between July 1, 2001 and June 30, 2002. Sources included 679 books, book chapters, journals, journal articles, editorials, reviews, letters, newspaper articles, media, and electronic sources, representing the publishing efforts of 370 faculty members.

Lists of faculty members were provided by New York Medical College’s School of Medicine, Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences, and School of Public Health as of July 18, 2002.

Sources

Journals, Journal Articles, Editorials, Reviews and Letters.

Citations are as accurate as possible based on the information available. The following indexing/abstracting sources were searched: MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, EMBASE(Psychiatry), PsycINFO, HealthSTAR, LEXIS-NEXIS, and websites. The search methodology combined the designated field containing the author affiliation address with the publication years and types of publications. The user of this bibliography needs to know that in some databases, such as PubMed, only the address of the first author is included. There is, therefore, an inherent limitation when searching the institutional field in a database.

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 readily available in 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 National Library of Medicine Index Medicus, which conforms to American National Standard for Bibliographic References ANSI Z39.29-1977. The first part contains a listing of bibliographic citations alphabetized by first author. Each college author who is not a first author is cross-referenced to the first author. The full citation appears under the name of the first author. The second part contains a listing of all NYMC authors by departments and/or schools.

This bibliography is compiled and edited by Cheryl Silver, Assistant Professor, Assistant Director of Information Processing. Nina Kurzban, Librarian, Paul-John Ramos, Assistant Collection Development Librarian, and Michael Modugno, Library Assistant, provided invaluable support in the production of this bibliography.

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

The Library invites comments and suggestions at any time.
