概括
在混合期刊中公开获取的发表研究增加了引用与封闭获取相比. 免费的开放访问选项也比封闭访问获得更多的引用,即使对于预算有限的作者来说也是如此.
科学领域:
- 图书统计学 图书统计学
- 学术传播学术交流
- 开放科学是一个开放的科学.
背景情况:
- 作者在最大限度地提高影响力指标和最大限度地降低出版成本之间面临一个权衡.
- 混合期刊通过文章处理费 (APC) 提供开放访问选项,但这些可能很昂贵.
- 在混合期刊中支付开放获取费用的引用影响仍然是研究的一个领域.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定支付基于订阅的 (混合) 期刊的开放访问是否会比封闭访问的文章提供引用优势.
- 在生物学研究中分析出版物访问类型和引用数量之间的关系.
- 调查APC成本对引用率的影响.
主要方法:
- 分析了来自152个混合生物学期刊 (2013-2018) 的146,415篇文章的数据集.
- 我们使用了通用线性模型来比较开放访问和封闭访问文章之间的引用数量.
- 对包括作者数,期刊四分位数,出版年和Web of Science类别在内的变量进行了统计调整.
主要成果:
- 混合期刊中的开放获取文章与封闭获取文章相比,获得了显著的引用优势 (平均超过17.8个引用).
- 在控制多个混因素 (p < 0.0001) 之后,这种引用优势仍然存在.
- 文章处理费用成本不是引用率的预测因素 (p = 0.14),免费的开放访问选项也显示了引用优势超过封闭访问.
结论:
- 在混合期刊上公开获取的出版,即使有相关的成本,通常会导致引用的增加.
- 预算有限的作者应该考虑免费的开放式访问替代品,在引用方面,它们仍然优于封闭式访问.
- 调查结果表明,开放式获取出版,总的来说,提高了研究的可见性和影响,无论APC支付,虽然成本本身不是引文的驱动因素.

What is Biodiversity?
27.3K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms
27.8K
Genetic transfer occurs when genetic information is passed from one organism to another. It occurs via two mechanisms: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer occurs when genetic information is transferred from one generation to the next, which happens much more frequently than horizontal gene transfer. Both sexual and asexual reproduction are forms of vertical gene transfer, where one or more organisms pass some or all of their genome onto their progeny.

Inclusive Fitness
36.0K
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.

Genomics
36.3K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

What is Conservation Biology?
18.4K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.
