Novel Science communication – how to build public health knowledge across the social gradient. The Healthy Choices Project (WP5).
<p>Everyday life consists of hundreds of choices of which many may have an impact on our health. The citizens of the modern Nordic welfare states are in general well-educated and thus can be assumed to know what is best for them. Despite this our health care systems face an increasing burden of lifestyle related diseases and there is a difference across the social gradient. Here building public health knowledge through communication is key. The reason for people making unhealthy choices are many and can be that; they do not know what is good for them (lack information) or do not understand (lack understanding) or do not care (carelessness). However it seems likely that it is more complex than that. Maybe they do not receive the information, because gets conveyed through channels that they do not consult or maybe the format of the message does not ‘click’? Could it be, that ‘one media message or channel does not fit all’? </p> <p>Over the last decades there has been an increased focus from both scientists themselves and politicians to scientific and practical field of ‘science communication’. Consequently, various advanced modes of communicating e.g. health issues to the general populations have been developed, and today scholars of Mass Media term this development the ‘scientification’ of media. Furthermore, media and information availability has exploded since the emergence of the Internet in the early 1990s. Research has indicated that social gradient also is a factor affecting a person’s media consumption and habit. </p> <p>In the healthy choices project we aim through novel methods to learn more about these challenges and at the develop new methods of conveying public health knowledge to enable people to make healthier choices across the social gradient. We have so far built a framework for this including a science group, consisting of public health experts, and a communication group consisting of experienced science communicators. The Science group is consulted about risk factors and health endpoints and what to prioritize. Two PhD students will be involved in; 1) assessing media consumption and usage related to health issues across social classes (Low social gradient versus high social gradient) and across the generational gap (young and elderly) and 2) develop and test various media message formats for target groups including considerations of the social gradient. This project will provide new understanding on how to communicate public health messages and reduce social inequalities in health.</p> <p> </p>
Science to inform policy: linking population dynamics to habitat for a threatened species in Canada
<p>Abstract</p> <p>1. Boreal forests provide numerous ecological services, including the ability to store large amounts of carbon, and are of significance to global biodiversity. Increases in industrial activities in boreal landscapes since the mid-20th century have added to concerns over biodiversity loss and climate change. Boreal forests are home to dwindling populations of boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Canada, a species at risk that requires large, undisturbed landscapes for persistence. In 2012, the Canadian government defined critical habitat for boreal caribou by relating calf recruitment to disturbances. Some have questioned whether the recruitment-relationship can be extrapolated beyond the environmental conditions represented in the analysis.</p> <p>2. We examined the effects of human disturbances and fire (alone and in combination) on variation in recruitment and adult female survival using data from 58 study areas in Canada. Top models were used in aspatial scenarios of landscape change to evaluate the efficacy of the critical habitat definition in achieving the recovery objectives for boreal caribou in two contrasting landscapes: Little Smoky, dominated by high levels of human disturbances, and SK1, dominated by fire.</p> <p>3. The top recruitment model suggested the negative effect of fire was 3-4 times smaller than human disturbances. The top adult female survival model included human disturbances only. These results re-affirm that human disturbances are the primary factor contributing to boreal caribou declines.</p> <p>4. Our aspatial scenarios suggested that undisturbed habitat would have to increase to ≥68% for Little Smoky to maintain a self-sustaining population of boreal caribou with some degree of certainty. In contrast, the SK1 population was self-sustaining with 40% undisturbed habitat when fire disturbance predominates, but could become vulnerable with increases in human disturbances (8–9%). 5. Policy implications: Our results suggest that the 65% undisturbed critical habitat designation may serve as a reasonable proxy for achieving boreal caribou recovery in landscapes dominated by human disturbances. However, some populations may be less or more vulnerable, as illustrated by the SK1 scenarios. Continued population monitoring will be essential to assessing the effectiveness of land management strategies developed for boreal caribou recovery, especially with climate change.</p>
Data from: Exploratory and confirmatory research in the open science era
<p>1. Applied ecological research is increasingly inspired by the Open Science movement. However, new challenges about how we define our science when biodiversity data is being shared and re-used are not solved. Among these challenges is the risk associated with blurring the distinction between research that mainly seeks to explore patterns with no a-priori articulated hypotheses (exploratory research), and research that explicitly tests a-priori formulated hypotheses (confirmatory research).</p> <p>2. A rapid screening of a random selection of peer-reviewed articles suggests that neither experimental protocols nor hypothesis-testing sensu stricto are common in applied ecological research. In addition, most experiments are carried out on small spatial scales, which contrast with current global policy needs and research trends towards addressing large spatial and temporal scales. This latter trend make it unfeasible for policy to rely mainly on insights gained from experimental research.</p> <p>3. To solve fundamental local, regional and global societal challenges, we need both exploratory and confirmatory research, and the fundamental (but different) role that hypothesis-testing and prediction play in applied ecological research should be revaluated.</p> <p>4. A clearer distinction between exploratory and confirmatory research could be facilitated by allocating journal sections to different types of research; embracing new tools offered by the open science era, such as pre-registration of hypothesis; establishing new systems where post-hoc hypotheses emerging through exploration can also be registered for later testing; and more broad adoption of causal inference methods that foster more structured testing of hypotheses about causal mechanisms from observational biodiversity data.</p> <p>5. Synthesis and applications. To gain the full benefits from the open science era, researchers, funding bodies and journal editors should explicitly consider incentives that encourage openness about methods and approaches, as well as value the full plurality of scientific approaches needed to address questions in conservation science.</p>
Ammonite, Science Zone UK
> Ammonoids are a group of extinct marine mollusc animals in the subclass Ammonoidea of the class Cephalopoda. These molluscs, commonly referred to as ammonites, are more closely related to living coleoids (i.e., octopuses, squid and cuttlefish) than they are to shelled nautiloids such as the living Nautilus species.[1] The earliest ammonites appeared during the Devonian, and the last species either vanished in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, or shortly after during the Danian epoch of the Paleocene. ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonoidea - - - 200 images iPhone 13 Pro using the '3x' zoom and square image crop.

Knowledge Freedom in computational science: a two stage peer-review process with KF Eligibility Access Review
<p>What is explained below is the <em>peer review process</em> applied by <em>Notes on Transdisciplinar</em><em>y Modelling for Environment </em>(NTMe). Authors and readers are encouraged to understand not only the process, but also the rationale behind the process, which is closely connected with the peculiar challenges faced by the scientific problems (computational-science modelling under uncertainty, in broad and heterogeneous contexts) in the scope of the journal. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="math-tex">\(\mathsf{\Large\text{The rationale behind the peer-review process}}\)</span></p> <p><strong>Computational research problems for more than one discipline. </strong>Research specific to a particular disciplinary domain is typically authored, and then studied, by experts in that domain. Several conventions, assumptions, fundamental protocols and methodology practices, are shared by domain experts as a common ground. Given that proficiency in these aspects is a precondition for domain experts, this kind of knowledge is often implicit, and not well communicated within domain-specific literature. "Typical" data preprocessing, model settings, quality-assessment assumptions (and their "default" simplifications and shortcuts), in this literature are often minimally reported or omitted, because the domain-specific community of researchers and practitioners knows them so well that they may resemble a sort of acquired conditioned response. However, when in a wider research more than one disciplinary domain is connected among each other, then implicit unexpressed knowledge may lead to ambiguity, misuse of results, and avoidable errors - sometimes challengly difficult to detect. The more and more diverse the domains, the higher this risk might be.</p> <p><strong>Useful cross-domain building blocks. </strong>"Transdisciplinary" research may risk being misinterpreted as just the final summary list of results grabbed by autonomous disciplinary silos run in parallel. However, a poor ability to communicate computational methods and data - and their limitations - between multiple disciplinary domains would jeopardise the collective (cross-domain) ability to distill truly integrated computational science. Computational science for transdisciplinary problems requires a pragmatic, engineered, but reasonably simple and modular approach to break and connect disciplinary silos - when appropriate for the problems investigated. Publishing <em>useful</em> cross-domain building blocks of this approach is the aim of the peer-review process in NTMe.</p> <p><strong>Connecting disciplines, space and time scales under uncertainty: the need for a shared semantics. </strong>Wide-scale transdisciplinary modelling (WSTM) relies on methods proper to computational science for connecting multiple scientific disciplines, and shedding light on broad, complex problems. Several of the most pressing problems we face as a human society are only partially known in their chain of consequences, and hopelessly difficult to address by a single discipline and a narrow perspective. Some of these problems capture the specific interest by particularly exposed regions, but their mechanism is more general, with essential knowledge often lying in other spatial areas - or even other time periods - hence calling for a wider perspective. Multiple spatial and temporal scales, with dissimilar data resolution, are frequent in WSTM problems, since they are often dictated by the complexity of reality and the available data. A wide-scale extent typically implies uneven quality and availability of data, and many sources of uncertainty - which increases when assumptions, methods and semantics by different disciplines or research institutions do not easily merge. A truly transdisciplinary communication of this essential semantics requires the <em>freedom </em>to communicate scientific knowledge, accurately and transparently, between disciplinary and corporate barriers.</p> <p><strong>Real knowledge sharing in computational science. </strong>As a consequence, wide-scale transdisciplinary modelling demands a focus on reproducible research and real scientific knowledge freedom. Data and software freedom are essential aspects of knowledge freedom in computational science. Therefore, ideally published articles should also provide the readers with the data and source code of the described mathematical modelling. To maximise transparency, replicability, reproducibility and reusability, published data should be made available as open data while source code should be made available as free software. Communicating semantics even to non-experts in a given domain requires that mathematical assumptions, otherwise obvious within a specific discipline, are duly annotated in a portable and concise way. Accordingly, brief but semantically clear documentation of data, methods and software is a key precondition. Here, a two-stage peer review process is described in which scientific knowledge freedom is considered with a dedicated Eligibility Access Review. This new peer review process is applied by <em>Notes on Transdisciplinary Modelling for Environment</em> with a focus on WSTM for environment.</p> <p> </p> <p><span class="math-tex">\(\mathsf{\Large\text{The peer-review process}}\)</span></p> <p><strong>A two-stage peer review process to avoid single-use disposable computational science. </strong>The two-stage peer review process requires discussion papers to be published so as to receive feedback from the scientific community before their possible finalisation. Initial manuscript submission is subject to the soundness review outlined above, also ensuring eligibility criteria to be fulfilled so as to support scientific knowledge freedom. Although this concept is multifaceted, some few dimensions might be emphasised which broadly apply in computational science and engineering (CSE). Among the many possible eligibility criteria in CSE, it should be highlighted at least the need for: </p> <ul> <li>free software to have been published so as for it to be persistently available;</li> <li>appropriate licensing and source code review to have been done (portable modularisation, with semantics of mathematical data-transformation methods clearly annotated);</li> <li>free data to have been published so as for it to be persistently available (with semantics of quantities clearly annotated);</li> <li>a minimal share of free-access core references to be selected in order for scientists and research organisations not to be discriminated on the basis of their funding availability, when they try to access the core literature cited in the manuscript.</li> </ul> <p>Before acceptance for discussion, a manuscript (and its potential data, parameters and software) may be revised, without exposing to the public immature versions, until it becomes able to fulfil the eligibility criteria. These iterations between author(s) and editors/reviewers remain confidential, and a potential manuscript rejection does not preclude resubmission. Acceptance of the manuscript to the discussion stage is followed by the permanent publication of the accepted version. This does not preclude, and actually encourages, further revised versions to be resubmitted. Any new revision is subject to eligibility access review, which takes into account the submission history of the manuscript and the already accepted public older versions.</p> <p><strong>Not a static publication. </strong>The discussion stage of the peer review process allows short comments to be submitted by referees and the scientific community, while authors are encouraged to interact with pending comments by providing their responses. During this stage, the paper accepted for discussion is already citable. Depending on the specific goals of each research problem, the discussion may remain open for a short time interval, or instead for a noticeably longer period of time (even indefinitely, if appropriate: for example, whenever authors do consider publishing cumulative milestone versions as important). There is not an a-priori limit to the duration of this first stage, and to the number of intermediate public revisions (which are optional), for a paper accepted for discussion. The second stage of peer review concludes the discussion stage with the submission of a revised manuscript, with final review and corrections. Fulfilment of the eligibility criteria is required over all the publication stages.<br> The published materials might be updated from time to time (at the authors' discretion), and - after peer-reviewing the changes - published so that the evolution is clear and available to others. Although preferred and encouraged in the discussion stage, updates are possible even after the final stage. Revisions offering a noticeably different content, compared with the previous versions, might sometime be recommended by editors/reviewers as deserving the status of a new publication - not to confuse the readers. This implies the full two-stage review process has to be applied to the new publication (as an independent publication), while the previous accepted publication is considered as the final permanent version. Recalling an analogy with the typical evolution of free-software, a software package is frequently subject to future improvements and corresponding new versions. If a new version is too different from the original package, it may become a new independent package. </p> <p><strong>Scientific opinions, perspectives, and overviews.</strong> Manuscripts focusing on computational science methods, data, parameters, and software are expected to contribute practical components of scientific knowledge which can be adapted, modified, or generally integrated within the future body of knowledge - potentially in unexpected ways. Therefore, the aforementioned two-stage review is, overall, meant to ease the future invention of derivative works. On the other hand, manuscripts offering expert opinions on these topics do not contribute "practical" components to be directly modified. Instead, they contribute organised ideas to support the evolution of scientific knowledge. Therefore, the peer review process for this typology of manuscripts focuses on:</p> <ul> <li>the broad understandability and potential interest of the expert opinions, and</li> <li>the factual correctness of the objective elements included in the opinion (with adequate bibliographic, tabular, visual support where appropriate). </li> </ul> <p><strong>Preregistration, protocols and methods. </strong>NTMe accepts a third typology of manuscripts, focusing on anticipated results (hence not yet computed) which are expected following a modelling procedure to transform input data and parameters into the desired output. As data and software are only anticipated in this typology of manuscripts, the peer-review process focuses on:</p> <ul> <li>the broad understandability and potential interest of the proposed protocol or methodology,</li> <li>the correctness and clarity of the mathematical formulation of the proposed computational-modelling steps (data-transformation modules),</li> <li>the discussion of anticipated results, pitfalls, sources of uncertainty and their proper management, bifurcations of the methodology depending on the potential variants that a user may desire to apply (depending on available data and their quality, and on the desired specialisation of the proposed general method), and</li> <li>the adequacy of bibliographic, tabular, visual supports where appropriate. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Abstract, and plain language summary. </strong>Each article includes a technical abstract. Although the topics of published content might deal with domain-specific aspects of computational/environmental science, their focused analysis is expected to support wider research in a transdisciplinary context. Therefore, the abstract is expected to be accessible beyond the domain-specific research community. Each article, either in the discussion or in the final stage, in addition to a technical abstract needs a <em>plain language summary</em> so that non-experts and readers with a basic scientific and technical literacy can understand the main contributions of the article. The aim of the plain language summary is to support educational dissemination. The summary is not a simpler abstract, and typically offers a longer, more comprehensive description. It is realised with an editorial support to authors, so as to respect a general structure (unless otherwise agreed):</p> <ul> <li>first, the general context of the work is presented (the general topics in which the work is situated);</li> <li>second, the general open questions are introduced to which the work aims to contribute;</li> <li>third, the specific way is described in which the work contributes to progress on the general open questions;</li> <li>fourth, the implications, new opportunities or suggested lines of research, and potential limitations and unaswered questions are summarised.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Constructive peer review.</strong> The ultimate aim of the peer review process is to support authors, and future readers, in sharing useful, durable, and understandable notes of transdisciplinary knowledge. Given the very nature of the topics in NTMe, the need for a cogent peer review on a multiplicity of expertise fields is essential. Rarely a single reviewer is able to cover all the aspects of transdiciplinary computational science. Even so, different opinions by different reviewers may emerge on specific points. Therefore, a <em>constructive </em>approach is promoted during each step of the peer review process, so that authors are guided to understand the peer review, and a compendium of recommandations may be presented in a consistent way.</p> <p> </p> <p><sup>© 2012-2020 Daniele de Rigo.

Open Access Journal Publishing in the Agricultural Sciences
<p>A survey was conducted on scholarly research communication and the prospects of Open Access (OA) to the scholarly research dissemination in India by Open Knowledge Society (OKS). The India's National Agricultural Research System (NARS) has been choosen as a case study for exploring the possibility of OA in publishing agricultural research. With over 90 Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) institutes and 42 agricultural universities, established by respective states at State level across the country, the Indian NARS, is one of the largest NARS of the world. The ICAR is the apex organization of Indian NARS coordinating the agricultural research and education of the country. The agriculture research output mainly comes from publicly funded projects, and many of the research centers and universities publish research journals (peer-reviewed) and magazines even in local languages apart from English. Beside, there are many professional societies in agriculture and related sciences publishing peer reviewed journals. However, majority of these journals are traditional print journals and thus are less visible to the outside world. In the country, the researchers cannot have the access to the published literature without the subscription to those journals and many of the libraries do not subscribe all the journals. From India, only four journals in the area of agriculture and animal sciences found in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Hence, it is felt that there is a tremendous potential for the research output to be made available to World with the OKS intervention and with the help of Open Journal System (OJS) software. OKS would like to bring this point forward and hope it can bring some change and create awareness about OA publishing in Agricultural research in India. The survey revealed that there are more than 100 journals which are being published in India on agricultural research by the universities, research centers and professional societies. However these publishers are not aware of the goodness of online open access publications. There is a need for creating awareness among the authors and publishers to embrace the latest Internet technologies for publication of research journals by persuasion campaigns. OKS is keen to promote Open Access Publishing (OAP) using OJS by helping institutions to setup their journals and also build an indexing system for Indian agricultural journals. The result would definitely help Indian researchers and the end user farmer community and also help other developing countries to improve their knowledge.</p>
