Study area of the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) project initiated in 1997
The Central Arizona-Phoenix Long Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER)project began in 1997. These data represent the study area of the Central Arizona Phoenix Long Term Ecological Research scope.
Data from oceanographic moorings deployed on the Antarctic Continental Shelf (and inshore) west of the Antarctic Peninsula as part of the Palmer Long Term Ecological Research Project (PAL LTER), 2007 - 2017.
Oceanographic moorings have been deployed beginning in January 2007 on the Antarctic Continental Shelf (and inshore) west of the Antarctic Peninsula as part of the Palmer Long Term Ecological Research Project (PAL LTER). The moorings have been located at several sites, each deployment lasting typically just under one year, as moorings are recovered at the beginning of the PAL LTER annual January cruise and deployed at the end of the cruise. Some sites have had mutliple deployments (ie, multiple years) while others have a mooring for only one year. Any given year had between 1 and 5 deployments. The moorings were subsurface typically with tops about 50 meters below the surface attempting to always sample the winter mixed layer and below. Each mooring consisted of a thermister string designed to well-capture the vertical temperature structure and betwee 1 and 7 current meters designed to capture the main features of the current structure. A conductivity cell was deployed infrequently to obtain salinity at a single depth.

Data from: Imbalance in individual researcher's peer review activities quantified for four British Ecological Society Journals, 2003-2010
Researchers contribute to the scientific peer review system by providing reviews, and "withdraw" from it by submitting manuscripts that are subsequently reviewed. So far as we are aware, there has been no quantification of the balance of individual's contributions and withdrawals. We compared the number of reviews provided by individual researchers (i.e., their contribution) to the number required by their submissions (i.e. their withdrawals) in a large and anonymised database provided by the British Ecological Society. The database covered the Journal of Ecology, Journal of Animal Ecology, Journal of Applied Ecology, and Functional Ecology from 2003–2010. The majority of researchers (64%) did not have balanced contributions and withdrawals. Depending on assumptions, 12% to 44% contributed more than twice as much as required; 20% to 52% contributed less than half as much as required. Balance, or lack thereof, varied little in relation to the number of years a researcher had been active (reviewing or submitting). Researchers who contributed less than required did not lack the opportunity to review. Researchers who submitted more were more likely to accept invitations to review. These finding suggest overall that peer review of the four analysed journals is not in crisis, but only due to the favourable balance of over- and under-contributing researchers. These findings are limited to the four journals analysed, and therefore cannot include researcher's other peer review activities, which if included might change the proportions reported. Relatively low effort was required to assemble, check, and analyse the data. Broader analyses of individual researcher's peer review activities would contribute to greater quality, efficiency, and fairness in the peer review system.
