Summary
Brain and Neuroscience Advances journal surveyed researchers on peer review and Journal Impact Factor. Findings will guide the journal and neuroscience community toward greater credibility and openness.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Scientific Publishing
- Research Integrity
Background:
- Brain and Neuroscience Advances aligns with the British Neuroscience Association's Credibility in Neuroscience campaign.
- The journal's commitment to credibility influences its publishing practices and operational procedures.
Discussion:
- The Editorial Board surveyed neuroscience researchers to gather community perspectives on peer review.
- The survey also addressed how the journal should respond to its forthcoming Journal Impact Factor.
Key Insights:
- Survey results from autumn 2020 provide insights into researcher opinions on peer review.
- Findings highlight community views on the role and impact of Journal Impact Factor.
Outlook:
- The editorial discusses the broader implications of the survey findings for the journal.
- Recommendations are presented for enhancing credibility, reproducibility, and openness in neuroscience research and publishing.

Impact occurs when two bodies collide, leading to the application of impulsive forces between them. Analyzing impact mechanics involves considering two colliding particles moving along a line known as the line of impact, which passes through their centers and is perpendicular to the contact plane.
When particles with different initial velocities collide, they induce deformation by applying equal and opposite impulses. At the point of maximum deformation, the particles move together with...

Impacts can be classified in various forms, primarily under two subgroups: central impact and oblique impact. A central impact occurs when two objects collide head-on, possessing opposite velocities aligned along the line of impact. Conversely, an oblique impact occurs when two objects collide at an angle, resulting in a modification of both direction and velocity.

Social psychologists analyze how groups influence one another, shaping social structures and interactions through both cooperation and competition. These dynamics manifest in various ways, ranging from economic partnerships to intergroup conflicts that shape societal structures and perceptions.Cooperation and Competition in Intergroup RelationsIntergroup relationships vary across contexts, sometimes fostering cooperation and mutual benefit while at other times leading to conflict and...

Human behavior is intricately shaped by social influences that arise from interactions with others in diverse contexts. These influences not only mold beliefs and attitudes but also drive the regulation of behaviors through both direct communication and observational learning. The study of these processes falls within the domain of social psychology, which seeks to understand how individuals are affected by and affect those around them.Mechanisms of Social InfluenceDirect social influence...

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.

01:28Impact of Groups on Individuals

Groups play a fundamental role in shaping individual behavior, as they establish norms that guide interactions and decision-making. Social psychology examines how individuals conform to group expectations, often adjusting their attitudes and actions to align with group norms. These norms can be formal, such as workplace policies, or informal, such as unspoken social expectations within a fraternity.Conformity and Social InfluenceConformity arises when individuals modify their behaviors or...
