概括
OpenAlex比Scopus或Web of Science (WoS) 索引的开放访问 (OA) 期刊要多得多. 虽然OpenAlex提供了更广泛的覆盖范围,但所有数据库都显示在索引开放式开放学术资源时存在地理和学科偏见.
科学领域:
- 图书计量和学术传播
- 开放访问 出版 出版
- 信息科学 信息科学 信息科学
背景情况:
- 对于研究人员和机构来说,了解主要数据库中开放获取 (OA) 期刊的覆盖面至关重要.
- 像Scopus和Web of Science (WoS) 这样的现有数据库已知覆盖模式.
- 像OpenAlex这样的全新综合数据库的出现需要进行比较分析.
研究的目的:
- 在OpenAlex,Scopus和Web of Science (WoS) 中比较开放获取期刊的地理和学科覆盖范围.
- 确定每个数据库内OA期刊索引和独家覆盖范围的程度.
- 评估OA期刊索引在不同地区和学科的代表性偏见.
主要方法:
- 利用开放获取学术资源目录 (ROAD) 作为活跃的开放获取期刊的参考列表 (2024年5月).
- 将OpenAlex,Scopus和WoS索引的开放式获取期刊数量与ROAD数据库进行比较.
- 在大陆和国家层面进行了地理分析,并使用ROAD的十个学科类别进行了学科分析.
主要成果:
- 与Scopus (7,351) 和WoS (6,157) 相比,OpenAlex在ROAD中的62,701个活跃的OA期刊中索引了更多的OA期刊 (34,217).
- OpenAlex 独家索引有 24976 个 OA 期刊,远远超过 WoS (182) 和 Scopus (373).
- WoS和Scopus显示了类似的报道模式,偏爱来自欧洲,北美和大洋洲的期刊. 虽然OpenAlex更具包容性,但在非洲和一些新兴国家等地区也表现出代表性不足.
结论:
- 与Scopus和WoS相比,OpenAlex在索引开放式获取期刊方面表现出卓越的包容性.
- 在Scopus和WoS之间的OA期刊索引模式中存在着显著的相似之处.
- 尽管其范围更广,OpenAlex也呈现出代表性偏见,突出了公平的全球学术报道的持续挑战.

The Scientific Method
222.7K
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...

States of Water

Water exists in any one of the three classical states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam or water vapor). The state of water depends on i) the intermolecular forces that draw molecules together and ii) the kinetic energy that leads to movements that pull them apart.
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...

Osmosis
159.8K
Approximately 60% to 95% of the weight of living organisms is attributed to water. Therefore, maintaining appropriate water balance within cells is of paramount importance. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell’s plasma membrane. In living organisms, water plays a crucial role as a solvent—a molecule that dissolves other molecules.

Distribution and Dispersion
21.3K
To understand intra-specific interactions in populations, scientists measure the spatial arrangement of species individuals. This geographic arrangement is known as the species distribution or dispersion. Highly territorial species exhibit a uniform distribution pattern, in which individuals are spaced at relatively equal distances from one another. Species that are highly tied to particular resources, such as food or shelter, tend to concentrate around those resources, and thus exhibit a...

Ecological Niches
23.4K
All organisms have a position within an ecosystem. The complete set of living and nonliving factors—including food resources, climate, and terrain—that define the position of a given organism are collectively referred to as the organism’s ecological niche.

Sustainable Development
13.1K
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.
