Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

Competition

25.4K
When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.

Sublimation01:03

Sublimation

5.7K
Sublimation is the direct transformation of a solid to a gaseous state. For instance, at standard pressure and room temperature, solid carbon dioxide sublimes to gaseous carbon dioxide. The phase diagram depicts the conditions required for sublimation. This process occurs at the solid-gas phase boundary and is not observed above the triple point of the substance. The reverse of sublimation is called deposition, where a gaseous substance condenses directly into a solid. Sublimation and...

Feedback Loops

In most cases, excessive hormone production is prevented by negative feedback—a loop that starts with a stimulus inducing the release of a particular substance, like a hormone, to maintain a certain level before triggering a signal that results in a decrease in further release of the hormone.

Area of Science:

  • Scholarly Publishing
  • Bibliometrics
  • Research Integrity

Background:

  • The academic community faces immense pressure to publish research.
  • High journal rejection rates and unsolicited submission invitations are prevalent issues.
  • Researchers are often unsure how to respond to direct journal invitations.

Discussion:

  • Analysis of 311 invitations revealed that 79% originated from journals listed as potentially predatory.
  • Over half of the journals claimed to offer peer review and open access, yet details on expedited processes were often absent.
  • The majority of invitations (60.1%) included an unsubscribe link, suggesting a mechanism for managing unsolicited communications.

Key Insights:

  • A significant majority of unsolicited manuscript invitations originate from journals identified as potentially predatory.
  • Despite claims of peer review and open access, the content analysis highlights potential issues with transparency and predatory practices.
  • The prevalence of unsubscribe links indicates a recognized need to manage unsolicited academic correspondence.

Outlook:

  • Developing institutional strategies to filter and manage unsolicited manuscript invitations is crucial.
  • Researchers should be educated on identifying and responding to potentially predatory journal solicitations.
  • Implementing robust guidelines can help safeguard researchers' and institutions' reputations against predatory publishing schemes.
