Scholarly reputation building in the digital age: An activity-specific approach. Review article

Seeking to understand how today's scholars may, indeed should go about building, maintaining and showcasing their professional reputation, the literature review presented here explores the reputational opportunities available to them in the increasingly open-values based, digital and networked environment of Science 2.0. Using a conceptual framework developed with the help of the European Commission and specifically designed for conducting analytical reviews and audits of the reputational value of scholarly activities, this study, examines in some detail the practices –more than 30 of them- that comprise the present-day scientific undertaking from a reputation-accruing angle

Analysis of Emerging Reputation and Funding Mechanisms in the Context of Open Science 2.0

This report covers the outcomes of two studies funded by JRC IPTS to explore emerging drivers for Open Science 2.0. In general, Open Science 2.0 is associated with themes such as open access to scientific outputs, open data, citizen science and open peer evaluation systems. This study, however, focused on less explored themes, namely on alternative funding mechanisms for scientific research and on emerging reputation mechanisms for scholars resulting from Web 2.0 platforms and applications. It has been demonstrated that both are providing significant new opportunities for researchers to disseminate, share, explore and collaborate with other researchers, but it remains to be seen whether they will be able to bring about more disruptive change in how science and research systems function in the future. They could well do so, especially if related changes being considered by the European Commission on ‘Science 2.0: Science in Transition’ are taken into account.JRC.J.3-Information Societ

Gambaran Glukosa Darah Setelah Latihan Fisik pada Tikus Wistar Diabetes Melitus yang Diinduksi Aloksan

AbstrakDiabetes Melitus telah dikategorikan sebagai penyakit global yang prevalensinya terus meningkat dan penyebab utama morbiditas dan mortalitas. Latihan fisik merupakan salah satu tatalaksana untuk mengontrol glukosa darah secara nonfarmakologis. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar glukosa darah pada tikus Wistar diabetes melitus yang diinduksi aloksan setelah pemberian latihan fisik. Penelitian eksperimental ini menggunakan 18 ekor tikus Wistar dengan berat badan 150-200 gram yang dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok, yaitu 6 ekor kelompok kontrol negatif (K-), 6 ekor kelompok kontrol positif (K+) dengan induksi aloksan tanpa pemberian latihan fisik dan 6 ekor kelompok perlakuan (P) dengan induksi aloksan dan diberi latihan fisik selama 4 minggu. Pengukuran kadar glukosa darah dilakukan dengan glucometer merek Accu-Check. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata kadar glukosa darah puasa secara bermakna pada kelompok kontrol positif (K+) dan perlakuan (P) setelah periode induksi yaitu, pada kelompok kontrol negatif 84,83±6,88 mg/dl, kelompok kontrol positif 220,80±12,29 mg/dl, dan kelompok perlakuan 248,50±94,55 mg/dl (p<0,05). Setelah periode latihan fisik, terdapat penurunan rata-rata glukosa darah puasa secara bermakna pada kelompok kontrol positif (K+) dan Perlakuan (P), namun penurunan pada kelompok perlakuan (P) lebih besar secara bermakna dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol positif (K+), yaitu rata-rata glukosa darah puasa kelompok kontrol positif 192,00±12,00 mg/dl dan kelompok perlakuan 163,00±20,26 mg/dl (p<0,05). Kesimpulan hasil penelitian ini adalah terdapat penurunan kadar glukosa darah puasa setelah latihan fisik.Kata kunci: latihan fisik, glukosa darah, diabetes melitusAbstractDiabetes Melitus has been categorized as a global disease which have increasing prevalence and the mine cause of morbidity and mortality. Phyisical exercise is one of the nonpharmacological treatment to control blood glucose. The objective of this research was to determine the blood gucose levels of aloksan induced’s wistar rat after physical exercise.The research used 18 wistar rats 150-200 gram weight, divided into three groups, as six negative control group (K-), six positive control group inducing aloksan without physical exercise (K+) and six treated group inducing aloksan with physical exercise for four weeks (P). Blood glucose was measured by Accu Check’s glucometer.The result showed an increase in fasting blood glucose level significantly on positive control group (K-) and treated group (P) after induced period, which was 84,83±6,88 mg/dl on negative control group, 220,80±12,29 mg/dl on positive control group, and 248,50±94,55 mg/dl on treated group (p<0,05). After physical exercise period, there was a decrease in fasting blood significantly on K+ and P, but in P group have more greater than K+ group, 192,00±12,00 mg/dl on positive control group (K+) and 163,00±20,26 mg/dl on treated group (P).Conclusion of this research is a decrease in fasting blood glucose levels after phyisical exercise.Keywords: physical exercise, blood glucose, diabetes melitu

New ways of building, showcasing, and measuring scholarly reputation

International audienceThe article reports on a study of the views and actions of nearly a hundred scholars – mostly academic researchersfrom four European countries and four disciplines – in regard to scholarly reputation in the Science 2.0 age. It specifi cally looks at the role that ‘emerging’ reputational mechanisms and platforms are playing in building, maintaining, and showcasing scholarly reputation in the digital age. Popular examples of such platforms are ResearchGate and Academia.edu. Data were obtained through one-to-one interviews and focus groups, supported by desk research. The main fi ndings were: (a) it is early days and uptake is light and patchy with platforms largely used for non-reputational purposes, such as sharing documents; (b) most users were passive and did not fully engage with the social aspects of the platforms; (c) the reputational focus was very much on just one scholarly activity (research), on just two outputs of that activity (publications and conferences) and one measurement of that activity (citations), but there are the stirrings of change; (d) young researchers are set to profi t most from the emerging platforms

Early career researchers in the pandemic-fashioned ‘new scholarly normality’: a first look into the big changes and long-lasting impacts (international analysis)

After two-years of repeat interviewing around 170 early career science/social science researchers from China, France, Malaysia, Poland, Russia, Spain, UK and US about their work life and scholarly communications in pandemic-times, the Harbingers project is now in possession of a mountain of data on what constitutes a very important academic topic. The purpose of the paper is to share the early highlights of the data, with a focus on the main and lasting impacts of the pandemic. The data presented comes from the national interviewers, who had conducted 3 rounds of interviews with their 20 or so early career researchers (ECRs) over two years and, thus, knew them well. They were asked to provide an ‘aerial view’ by identifying the most important impacts they had detected while things were still fresh in their minds. The main findings are that: 1) ECRs, the research workhorses, have generally proved to be resilient and perseverant and some have prospered; 2) the pandemic has fast-tracked researchers to a virtual and remote scholarly world, with all the advantages and disadvantages that comes with it. The data, however, is nuanced, with significant differences occurring between countries, especially China and France. The paper also updates a literature review on the topic previously published in this journal

Early career researchers in the pandemic-fashioned ‘new scholarly normality’: voices from the research frontline

After two-years of talking to around 170 early career science/social science researchers from China, France, Malaysia, Poland, Russia, Spain, UK and US about their work life and scholarly communications during the pandemic, the Harbingers-2 project is in possession of a mountain of verbatim data. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the kinds of comments ECRs are raising, with a focus on those that provide a particular interesting and illuminating take on ECRs’ experiences under difficult times. Comments, for instance, that might challenge the established order of things or that presage big changes down the line. The selection of comments presented here were made by the national interviewers shortly after the completion of the last of three rounds of interviews (two interviews in the case of Russia). The understandings, appreciations and suggestions thus raised by the ECRs are insightful and constructive, which is what we might have expected from this cohort who are very much at the forefront of the research enterprise and veritable research workhorses. Sixteen broad scholarly topics are represented by quotes/comments, with the main focus of the comments on a subset of these: research performance and assessment, scholarly communication transformations, networking and collaboration, social media and access to information/libraries, which suggests, perhaps, where the action, concerns and interest mainly lie

A survey of current state of training of plastic surgery residents

Abstract Background Plastic surgery training is undergoing major changes however there is paucity of data detailing the current state of training as perceived by plastic surgical trainees. Our aim was to determine the quality of training as perceived by the current trainee pool and their future plans. Methods A 25-item anonymous survey with three discrete sections (demographics, quality of training, and post-graduate career plans) was developed and distributed to plastic surgery residents during the academic year 2013. With the confidence interval of 95% and margin of error of 10%, our target response rate was 87 responders. Results We received a total of 114 respondents with all levels of Post Graduate Year in training represented. Upon comparison of residents with debt of 250,000, those with higher debt were significantly less interested in fellowship training (p value 0.05) and were more likely to pursue private practice (p value <0.01). Disciplines within plastic surgery least offered as a separate rotation were microsurgery (45%) followed by aesthetic surgery (33%). 53.7% of the residents felt that they were least trained in aesthetic surgery followed by burn surgery 45.4%. Of note 56.4% intended to seek additional training after residency. Moreover residents with an average of 6.4 months of experience in an individual subspecialty were more likely to feel comfortable with that specialty. Conclusions This survey highlights the areas and subspecialties that deserve attention as perceived by the current trainee pool.https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137662/1/13104_2017_Article_2561.pd
