FACULTY AUTHORS BIBLIOGRAPHY

July 2002 - June 2003

INTRODUCTION

This compilation of New York Medical College (NYMC) faculty scholarship for 2002/03 is the tenth edition of what is now an annual tradition. Our goal continues to celebrate the contributions of faculty from the previous academic year. The staff of the Health Sciences Library produces this bibliography, which is available in print and electronic form (available at http://library.nymc.edu).

Since September 1993, this bibliography and the faculty scholarship it documents are celebrated at the annual Author Recognition Celebration. From the beginning the Dean and Provost co-sponsor the event with the Library, which we term a sherry. It is now a faculty development activity for the University.

Every effort is made to be as comprehensive as possible. The database begins with letters and submission forms sent to over 2900 NYMC faculty from all three schools: School of Medicine, School of Basic Medical Sciences, and School of Public Health. Lists of faculty members are as of May 6, 2003. The letter is also sent to department heads, program directors, course coordinators, and the deans of the respective schools. An email reminder follows. In addition, standard bibliographical sources, mentioned below, are searched and added to the database. Only twenty percent is duplication, with thirty-seven percent requiring manual entry.

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 Library’s collection, or through interlibrary loan. For inclusion, all authors should cite NYMC and have published between July 1, 2002 and June 30, 2003. Sources included 908 books, book chapters, journals, journal articles, editorials, reviews, letters, newspaper articles, media, and electronic sources, representing the publishing efforts of 414 faculty members.

Sources

Citations are as accurate and as complete as possible based on the information available. The following indexing/abstracting sources were searched: PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, LEXIS-NEXIS, Biomedical Reference Collection, Nursing and Allied Health Collection, Health Reference Center, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences and websites. The search methodology combines the field containing the author affiliation address with the publication years and types of publications. It is important to note that some databases, such as PubMed, include only the address of the first author. There is an inherent limitation when searching for author affiliation.

Books and Chapters of books.

The selection of books and chapters of books is 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 or book 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 additional NYMC author is cross-referenced to the first. 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 and Assistant Director of Information Processing. Nina Kurzban, Paul-John Ramos, and Michael Modugno all provided invaluable support in the production of this bibliography.

The Health Sciences Library is pleased to continue the promotion of the significant scholarly contributions of NYMC faculty. The staff is even more pleased to receive the support of the President, Provost, Deans, Department Chairs, and Office of Faculty Development.

Above all, we toast our published faculty for a tenth record year and a milestone of its own. Questions or comments should be directed to Ms. Cheryl Silver or to me as director.
