A Importância dos Estilos de Formatação de Trabalhos Acadêmicos: uma revisão de literatura

ntroduction: Scientific research aims to generate new knowledge, to contribute to the various segments of society and provide a better quality of life for the population, using specific methods and techniques for this purpose. For the dissemination of this knowledge to occur ethically and effectively, the researcher must be aware of some important aspects, such as scientific writing, which includes bibliographic references and standardization of scientific papers. Objective: To describe the main characteristics of the formatting styles of scientific works: ABNT, APA, Chicago, MLA, Vancouver. Material and Method: A bibliographic review was carried out in the Scientific Electronic Library (SCIELO), Virtual Health Library Brazil (BVS) and Google Scholar databases. Literature Review: Standardizations are important, as they contribute to the standardization and structuring of inputs for technological and scientific development, effectively and with quality. Final Considerations: It is expected that the compiled content will guide the reader/researcher as to the applicability of the technical norms for standardization of the styles of standardization of scientific papers commonly recommended by national and international journals to reach and disseminate the knowledge produced.Introdução: A pesquisa científica tem por objetivo gerar novos conhecimentos, de forma a contribuir com os diversos segmentos da sociedade e proporcionar melhor qualidade de vida para a população, utilizando de métodos e técnicas específicas para esta finalidade.

Material e Método: Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica no banco de dados Scientific Electronic Library (SCIELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde Brasil (BVS) e Google Acadêmico. Revisão de Literatura: As normatizações são importantes, pois contribuem com a padronização e estruturação dos insumos do desenvolvimento tecnológico e científico, de forma eficaz e com qualidade. Considerações Finais: Espera-se que o conteúdo compilado oriente o leitor/pesquisador quanto a aplicabilidade das normas técnicas de normalização dos estilos de padronização de trabalhos científicos comumente recomendados por periódicos nacionais e internacionais com o intuito de ter um alcance e disseminar o conhecimento produzido

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions. Please cite this data paper when using the data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us on how they are using the data

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
