Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Activation Energy

Activation Energy

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy necessary for a chemical reaction to move forward. The higher the activation energy, the slower the rate of the reaction. However, adding heat to the reaction will increase the rate, since it causes molecules to move faster and increase the likelihood that molecules will collide. The collision and breaking of bonds represents the uphill phase of a reaction and generates the transition state. The transition state is an unstable high-energy state...

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.

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Archival Research

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Population Growth

Population Growth

Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Area of Science:

Science policy
Research ethics
Knowledge mobilization

Background:

Science-based policy is crucial for addressing global challenges such as biodiversity loss and climate change.
Open research principles are fundamental to effective science-based policy.
Politicization, commodification, and conflicting stakeholder interests impede the adoption of open research principles.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the alignment of open research principles among 129 diverse stakeholders in the research landscape.
To identify barriers to the uptake of open research principles.

Main Methods:

Analysis of mission and vision statements from 129 research stakeholders.
Qualitative assessment of language use related to open research principles.

Main Results:

Poor alignment in open research principles was found among stakeholders.
Journals, societies, and funders demonstrated low usage of open research language.
This misalignment was concentrated among key entities like journals, societies, and funders.

Conclusions:

Poor alignment in open research principles stifles knowledge flow within the research ecosystem.
Limited knowledge flow hinders the mobilization of impactful science-based policy.
Recommendations are provided to enhance the adoption of open research principles to better address global challenges.
