Contact-dependent Signaling01:19

Contact-dependent Signaling

40.2K
Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.

In animal cells, gap junctions are formed...

Altruism01:03

Altruism

29.8K
Altruistic behaviors are “unselfish” behaviors—those that help another individual at the expense of the individual carrying out the behavior. Despite the negative consequences for the altruistic animal, these behaviors are thought to have evolved for several reasons.

Correspondence Bias01:17

Correspondence Bias

379
Correspondence bias, also referred to as the fundamental attribution error, describes the tendency to attribute another person’s behavior to internal characteristics rather than situational influences. This cognitive bias leads individuals to overlook external factors that may be influencing actions, thereby fostering potentially inaccurate assessments of others’ intentions and dispositions.Empirical Evidence for Correspondence BiasResearch has consistently demonstrated the...

Correlation and Causation01:27

Correlation and Causation

36.9K
Statistical tests can calculate whether there is a relationship, or correlation, between independent and dependent variables. An indirect relationship of the variables signifies a correlation, while a direct relationship shows causation. If it is determined that no connection exists between the variables, then the correlation is a coincidence.
Correlation versus Causation
If the dependent variable increases or decreases when the independent variable increases, there is a positive or negative...

Data Collection by Survey01:07

Data Collection by Survey

7.5K
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

Communication01:03

Communication

8.0K
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

Summary

Corresponding authors in biomedical research often do not respond to post-publication data requests, with response rates decreasing over time. Improving communication requires clearer journal policies and updated contact information.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Research
  • Scholarly Communication
  • Scientific Publishing

Background:

  • Author responsibilities extend beyond manuscript publication, including data sharing and clarification.
  • Concerns exist regarding corresponding authors' fulfillment of post-publication obligations in biomedical research.
  • Post-publication communication is crucial for data access, clarification, and potential collaborations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the proportion of corresponding authors who respond to post-publication inquiries.
  • To identify characteristics associated with responding corresponding authors.
  • To assess the rate of email address decay for corresponding authors over time.

Main Methods:

  • 450 corresponding authors from diverse biomedical fields were contacted regarding data availability.
  • Authors were randomly selected from journals with impact factors ranging from 0 to 52.
  • Data collection spanned articles published between May 2003 and May 2013; 446 authors were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • 53% of authors with valid email addresses responded to the data request.
  • Clinical researchers were more likely to respond than basic/translational scientists (51% vs. 34%).
  • Response rates declined by 15% annually, and email validity dropped to 49% within 10 years.

Conclusions:

  • Contacting corresponding authors for post-publication data requests presents significant challenges in biomedical research.
  • Explicit journal guidelines for corresponding author responsibilities may improve response rates.
  • Strategies like multiple contact details, author email listings, automated forwarding, and platform linking could enhance communication.
