Find more information down (deadline November 5 2021) Guest Editors: Prof. Dr. Raúl Romero Calcerrada Prof. Dr. Javier Cabello Dr. Manuel Pacheco-Romero Dr. Koldo Trapaga Monchet Message from the Guest Editors This Special Issue aims to present an up-to-date overview of environmental sustainability and diversity in human– nature interactions from a broad and interdisciplinary perspective by bringing together conceptual, epistemological, methodological, and mainly case-based studies or applied perspectives. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: 1) Definition, characterization, or mapping of social– ecological systems, geosystems, or environmental management units. 2) Novel approaches to identify the main drivers of landscape change for environmental sustainability in landscape planning throughout history. 3) Innovative concepts, methods, or technologies to analyze and model land cover/land use change, human–nature interaction, or social–ecological system dynamics. 4) Disentangling concepts, synergies, and trade-offs between the concepts of social–ecological systems, geosystems, and environmental management units. 5) New technologies, methodologies, or tools to support land cover/land use decisions in sustainable landscape planning.

UWM publications in MDPI journals Svetlana Korolev, science librarian, [email protected] In August 2020, the UWM Libraries signed an agreement with MDPI’s Institutional Open Access Program (https://www.mdpi.com/ioap). The program was referred to us by a UWM faculty member inquiring about our membership status and its benefit of a 10% discount on article processing charges. In response to the inquiry, we examined publications by UWM authors in MDPI journals. This report outlines our findings in support of our decision to join the Institutional Open Access Program. The publication numbers were current when this report was written in November 2020. Founded in 1996 in Basel, Switzerland, MDPI (initially the Molecular Diversity Preservation International) spun off as a publisher (renamed the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute) in 2010. As of November 2020, MDPI published 283 open access journals. It is a member of the leading professional associations of academic publishers such as the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA; https://oaspa.org/member/mdpi-ag), Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE; https://publicationethics.org/taxonomy/term/584), and International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM, https://www.stm- assoc.org/membership/our-members/#M).

  • The Study of Species in the Era of Biodiversity: a Tale of Stupidity
    Diversity 2010, 2, 115-126; doi:10.3390/d2010115 OPEN ACCESS diversity ISSN 1424-2818 www.mdpi.com/journal/diversity Communication The Study of Species in the Era of Biodiversity: A Tale of Stupidity Ferdinando Boero Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Biologiche ed Ambientali DiSTeBA, Universita` del Salento, 73100 Lecce, Italy; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 16 December 2009 / Accepted: 19 January 2010 / Published: 22 January 2010 __________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Research policies ensuing from the Convention on Biological Diversity made huge funds available to study biodiversity. These were mostly dedicated to projects aimed at providing services to taxonomy via information and technology, or to develop “modern”, i.e., molecular, approaches to taxonomy. Traditional taxonomy was overly neglected and is in serious distress all over the world. It is argued that both novel and traditional ways to study biodiversity are essential and that the demise of traditional taxonomy (based on phenotypes) in the era of biodiversity is the result of an unwise policy, mainly fostered by portions of the scientific community that aim at taking total advantage of the funds dedicated to the study of biodiversity. Keywords: biodiversity; traditional taxonomy; molecular taxonomy; information and technology; research policies __________________________________________________________________________________ 1. On a Mission from God The most popular definitions of biodiversity range from genetic to population, species, community, habitat, ecosystem, and landscape diversity. Species diversity, however, does have a pivotal role in the study and perception of biodiversity. The key question that triggered concern about biodiversity was: How many species are there on our planet? As shown by the animal paintings witnessing the first traces of human culture, this question was probably our very first curiosity, eliciting the rise of science.

  • Molbank an Open Access Journal by MDPI CITESCORE 0.7 Molbank SCOPUS an Open Access Journal by MDPI
    CITESCORE 0.7 SCOPUS molbank an Open Access Journal by MDPI CITESCORE 0.7 SCOPUS an Open Access Journal by MDPI Editor-in-Chief Message from the Editorial Board Prof. Dr. René T. Boeré Molbank is a unique electronic journal that rapidly publishes very short articles, which typically encompass one compound per paper (“short notes”) as well as “communications”. The aim of this format is to prevent potentially useful scientific information from being lost. In many research groups, there are unpublished compounds that are available, which do not truly fit into a full paper or even a conventional short paper, e.g. because the main work in a series of compounds has already been published. Nevertheless, somebody else might be interested in just this particular compound. Molbank offers an excellent platform for preserving the aforesaid kind of information. Author Benefits Rapid Publication of One-Compound Short Notes Preservation and Exploitation of Molecular Diversity Open Access Unlimited and free access for readers No Copyright Constraints Retain copyright of your work and free use of your article Thorough Peer-Review High Visibility Indexed in the ESCI - Web of Science (Emerging Sources Citation Index), CAS - Chemical Abstracts Service (ACS), DOAJ - Directory of Open Access Journals, Scopus (Elsevier), Reaxys (Elsevier) No Space Constraints, No Extra Space or Color Charges No restriction on the length of the papers, number of figures or colors Discounts on Article Processing Charges (APC) If you belong to an institute that participates with the MDPI Institutional Open Access Program Aims and Scope Molbank is a communication journal of synthetic chemistry and natural product chemistry.

Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación. Departamento de Bibliotecología. Grupo SCImago, Argentina. (2) Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales. Instituto de Políticas y Bienes Públicos. Grupo SCImago. C/ Albasanz, 26-28. Madrid, España. (3) Grupo de Investigación SCImago Abstract The last few years have seen the emergence of several Open Access (OA) options in scholarly communication, which can broadly be grouped into two areas referred to as gold and green roads. Several recent studies showed how big the extent of OA is, but there have been few studies showing impact of OA in the visibility of journals covering all scientific fields and geographical regions. This research shows the extent of OA from the perspective of the journals indexed in Scopus, as well as influence on visibility, in view of the various geographic and thematic distributions. The results show that in all the disciplinary groups the presence of green road journals widely surpasses the percentage of gold road publications. The peripheral and emerging regions have greater proportions of gold road journals. These journals pertain for the 1 most part to the last quartile. The benefits of open access on visibility of the journals are to be found on the green route, but paradoxically this advantage is not lent by the OA per se, but rather of the quality of the articles/journals themselves, regardless of their mode of access.
