The IJE and the volatile world of academic publication

Volatilization gravimetry is an analytical technique that measures the mass lost due to the volatilization of the substance. This technique is used to estimate the amount of volatile material in a sample. To perform this method, heat a known amount of the sample to a high temperature in a crucible or other suitable vessel. The volatile substance in the sample evaporates, and the vapor is completely expelled from the crucible either by heating the sample or bubbling a stream of inert gas through...

We describe a modified agar-based method designed to quantify the antifungal effects of plant-derived products. Both volatile and non-volatile contributions to the antifungal activity can be assessed through this protocol. In addition, efficacy against fungi can be measured at key developmental stages in a single experimental...

Here, we present a protocol for collecting the floral fragrance volatiles from blooming flowers, using a non-destructive sampling...

This protocol presents an accessible method for creating a gas-tight environment to administer volatile anesthetics to larval zebrafish for behavioral...

Public goods are services or resources provided primarily by the government because private companies often do not have an incentive to supply them at socially efficient levels. These goods are both non-excludable, meaning that people cannot be prevented from using them, and non-rivalrous, meaning that one person's use does not reduce their availability for others.
If private firms are unable to economically prevent multiple, non-paying consumers from consuming their goods, then some...

PR can be used to protect, enhance, or build reputations through the media, social media, or self-produced communications. A good PR campaign can provide credibility and enhance the organization's...
