Global Naturalized Alien Flora (GloNAF). Open access data to support research on understanding global plant invasions.
<p>This dataset is a snapshot of the Global Naturalized Alien Flora (GloNAF) database, version 2.02. GloNAF is a continuously updated, curated compilation of alien naturalized vascular plant inventories for geographic regions from around the world. The dataset has 16,429 unique taxa reported as naturalized or invasive and covers 1,343 regions (including 427 islands) from 336 data sources. For each region, the status (invasive, naturalized) is provided as listed in the original source. We provide the scientific names included with the original data source, and the matching accepted name or synonym of the taxon as given in the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) Version 12. In addition, we provide an ESRI shapefile of polygons for each region. We also provide several variables that can be used to filter the data according to quality and completeness of alien taxon lists, which vary among the combinations of regions and data sources.</p> <p>The 'glonaf_flora2.csv' file lists the IDs ('taxon_wcvp_id') of all naturalized taxa contained in GloNAF and the regions they occur in. The 'glonaf_taxon_wcvp.csv' lists the original taxon names provided in the source data along with the corresponding accepted taxon name from the WCVP (version 12) for all alien taxa in GloNAF, regardless of their naturalization status. To link taxon names with naturalization records, join the 'id' column of the 'glonaf_taxon_wcvp.csv' file to the 'taxon_wcvp_id' column in 'glonaf_flora2.csv' . Additional information regarding the original source of the data ('glonaf_reference.csv'), specific attributes of the taxon lists ('glonaf_list.csv') and the region ('glonaf_region.csv') can also be joined similarly to 'glonaf_flora2.csv '. </p> <p> </p>
Research Data of the 2014 Census of Open Access Repositories in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
<p>The "2014 Census of Open Access Repositories in Germany, Austria and Switzerland” (2014 Census) is a study on the green open access landscape conducted in the course of a project seminar at the Berlin School of Library and Information Science (BSLIS) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The 2014 Census not only succeeds the "2012 Census of Open Access Repositories in Germany"[1] but enhances it by adding an online survey to the qualitative analysis of the open access repository websites and the automatic validation of its metadata. Like in 2012 the 2014 Census gives insights into the development of open access repositories and current trends in repository design being of substantial use to open access repository operators.</p> <p>This 2014 Census data set represents the data collected in three different ways:</p> <ul> <li>qualitative analysis of the open access repository websites</li> <li>automatic validation of the metadata via OAI-PMH using the DINI-Validator [2] </li> <li>online survey of repository operators</li> </ul> <p>As in 2012 [3] the data set is provided in XLSX as well as in CSV format. The columns represent the criteria and the rows represent the analyzed open access repositories. In the XLSX file the header row gives the definition of each criterion in English and German. In the CSV "content" file the header row is in English short terms. The respective English and German definition can be found in the CSV "readme" file.</p> <p> </p> <p>[1] Vierkant, P.

Dataset of the study "Open Access and Data Sharing in Cancer Stem Cells research"
<p>Dataset of the study "Open Access and Data Sharing in Cancer Stem Cells research"</p>
Data from: In an age of open access to research policies: physician and public health NGO staff research use and policy awareness
Introduction: Through funding agency and publisher policies, an increasing proportion of the health sciences literature is being made open access. Such an increase in access raises questions about the awareness and potential utilization of this literature by those working in health fields. Methods: A sample of physicians (N=336) and public health non-governmental organization (NGO) staff (N=92) were provided with relatively complete access to the research literature indexed in PubMed, as well as access to the point-of-care service UpToDate, for up to one year, with their usage monitored through the tracking of web-log data. The physicians also participated in a one-month trial of relatively complete or limited access. Results: The study found that participants' research interests were not satisfied by article abstracts alone nor, in the case of the physicians, by a clinical summary service such as UpToDate. On average, a third of the physicians viewed research a little more frequently than once a week, while two-thirds of the public health NGO staff viewed more than three articles a week. Those articles were published since the 2008 adoption of the NIH Public Access Policy, as well as prior to 2008 and during the maximum 12-month embargo period. A portion of the articles in each period was already open access, but complete access encouraged a viewing of more research articles. Conclusion: Those working in health fields will utilize more research in the course of their work as a result of (a) increasing open access to research, (b) improving awareness of and preparation for this access, and (c) adjusting public and open access policies to maximize the extent of potential access, through reduction in embargo periods and access to pre-policy literature.
