Free Energy

Free Energy

Free energy—abbreviated as G for the scientist Gibbs who discovered it—is a measurement of useful energy that can be extracted from a reaction to do work. It is the energy in a chemical reaction that is available after entropy is accounted for. Reactions that take in energy are considered endergonic and reactions that release energy are exergonic. Plants carry out endergonic reactions by taking in sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Animals, in turn, break down the...

C4 Pathway and CAM

C4 Pathway and CAM

Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.

The C4 pathway is used by plants such as...

Inclusive Fitness

Inclusive Fitness

Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

Energy Budgets and Reproductive Strategies

Energy Budgets and Reproductive Strategies

Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species reproduce only once in their lifetime, often investing most available resources into that single reproductive event. Iteroparous species, by contrast, reproduce multiple times over their lifetimes, typically allocating fewer resources to any single...

Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Area of Science:

Bibliometrics
Scholarly Communication
Open Access Publishing

Background:

Open access (OA) expansion often links to government policies and funding.
Brazil presents a unique case with high OA publication rates despite lacking specific regulations.
Understanding Brazil's OA growth can inform other developing nations.

Purpose of the Study:

Analyze factors driving Brazil's high open access publication percentage.
Investigate the shift towards international open access journals in Brazil.
Explore the role of mega journals in this transition.

Main Methods:

Bibliometric analysis of Brazilian scientific publications (2012-2019).
Qualitative assessment of influencing factors.
Discussion within the context of mega journal trends.

Main Results:

Brazilian scientific community significantly increased open access publications.
A notable drift towards international open access journals was observed.
Mega journals appear to be a key factor in this transition.

Conclusions:

Brazil's open access growth is driven by factors beyond government policy.
The trend suggests a strategic adoption of international open access models, including mega journals.
Findings offer insights for developing countries aiming to enhance research visibility.
