Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

29.3K
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.

Limits to Natural Selection

35.7K
Organisms that are well-adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. However, natural selection does not lead to perfectly adapted organisms. Several factors constrain natural selection.

Sustainable Development

15.4K
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.

Threats to Biodiversity01:50

Threats to Biodiversity

27.6K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

The Scientific Method01:32

The Scientific Method

274.1K
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Science
  • Psychology
  • Global Research

Background:

  • Advancing developmental science requires diverse contexts and wide dissemination.
  • Researchers outside the USA (non-USA based) face peer-review obstacles in mainstream journals.
  • USA-based research benefits from global perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate peer-review challenges faced by non-USA based global developmental scientists.
  • To understand how peer-review processes may devalue globally relevant research aspects.
  • To gather recommendations for improving peer-review practices.

Main Methods:

  • Online survey of 229 non-USA based global developmental scientists.
  • Assessment of expected and actual changes devaluing global aspects of research.
  • Analysis of free-response qualitative data.

Main Results:

  • High incidence of peer-review comments questioning or minimizing globally relevant research aspects.
  • Participants frequently felt the need to alter or downplay global aspects, more than requested.
  • Anticipated or internalized devaluation of global research was suggested.

Conclusions:

  • Non-USA based researchers encounter unique peer-review challenges.
  • These challenges may discourage global developmental research, impacting generalizability and replicability.
  • Addressing these issues can strengthen developmental science by integrating diverse insights.
