Marie-Alexandrine Sicre, SCOR President, welcomed participants and asked each person to introduce themselves. Sicre gave tributes for three scientists who were involved in SCOR activities and died since the 2017 SCOR Annual Meeting: John Bullister, Fred Grassle, and Temel Oguz. 1.2 Approval of the Agenda Additions or modifications to the agenda as distributed may be suggested prior to approval of the final version. The primary changes were to move the SOOS and SCAR presentations to Wednesday because the SCAR Executive Director would only be available that day. 1.3 Report of the President of SCOR The President briefly reviewed her activities for SCOR since the SCOR Annual Meeting in September 2017 in Cape Town, South Africa. She noted that she had represented SCOR in meetings on many occasions and has been in contact with scientists and government officials in Kenya about joining SCOR. 1.4 Report of SCOR Executive Director The SCOR Executive Director, Ed Urban, reported on his activities for SCOR since the 2017 SCOR Annual meeting, and on the current condition of SCOR. SCOR finances are in good condition and there should be adequate funding to approve two new working groups this year, depending on recommendations from the SCOR Finance Committee. Working groups are making good progress. For example, WG 139 on Organic Ligands – A Key Control on Trace Metal Biogeochemistry in the Ocean has a Research Topic open in Frontiers in Marine Science and has 22 articles in the section so far. All three working groups approved at the 2017 SCOR Annual Meeting met for the first time in the past year. In terms of outreach, SCOR had a booth at Ocean Sciences 2018, which had very good visibility. The new SCOR website was just launched and it was generally appreciated by the participants at the meeting. The number of Twitter followers and email contacts both significantly increased in the past year. Urban asked that national SCOR representatives encourage scientists in their countries to sign up for SCOR emails. Ireland joined SCOR in 2017 and Namibia in 2018. A new model for payment of SCOR dues seems to be arising in several countries, in which national academies are reducing support and delegating dues payment and management of national SCOR committees to national institutions. An early-career scientist, Nuria Casacuberta Arola (Switzerland) was added to the SCOR Executive Committee. There were a good number of strong applicants. The percentage of 1 female participants in SCOR activities continues to increase and is at about 41%. The percentage of developing country members has fluctuated between 20% and 24% for the past 14 years and is currently at 24%. 1.5 Appointment of an ad hoc Finance Committee The SCOR Constitution requires that a Finance Committee be appointed at every SCOR Annual Meeting. It must consist of at least three Nominated Members who are not members of the Executive Committee. The Finance Committee reviews the administration of SCOR finances during the previous fiscal year and the current year, and will propose a budget for 2019 activities and dues for 2020. Members of the 2018 Finance Committee approved by the Executive Committee are Isabelle Ansorge (South Africa), Annalisa Griffa (Italy), and Paul Myers (Canada). The Committee will report to the meeting under agenda item 8.3. 1.6 2018 Elections for SCOR Officers and Approval of Proposed Changes to SCOR Constitution Peter Burkill, Past President, chaired the Nominations Committee, which also included Annalisa Griffa (Italy), Jorma Kuperinen (Finland), and Maria Van Leeuwe (Netherlands). The SCOR Secretary and all three Vice-President positions were open for nominations for the 2018 elections.

  • Scientific Production in the PLOS Journals Sibele Fausto*, Rogério Mugnaini**
    Beyond traditional metrics at the University of São Paulo: scientific production in the PLOS journals Sibele Fausto*, Rogério Mugnaini** *[email protected], **[email protected] Escola de Comunicações e Artes, University of São Paulo, Av. Prof. Lúcio M. Rodrigues, 443, São Paulo, SP, CEP 05608-020 (Brazil) INTRODUCTION In the evolution of the Open Access Movement, there have been pioneering initiatives to provide free and open access to published scientific content, such as the creation of the BioMed Central (BMC) and the Public Library of Science (PLOS) in early 2000. These set out a new funding model for journals where the liability for publishing costs is transferred from the readers to the authors. The PLOS was also innovative since it led to the creation of Article-Level Metrics - ALM (Fenner & Lin, 2013) and expanded by issuing a series of new titles - PLOS Biology in 2003; PLOS Medicine in 2004, PLOS Computational Biology, PLOS Genetics and PLOS Pathogens in 2005, PLOS ONE in 2006 and more recently PLOS Currents. As a result, today the set of PLOS journals is widely recognized and prestigious. Recently (on June 18, 2013), PLOS introduced a new search engine - PLOS-ALM Reports (http://almreports.plos.org/) (Allen, 2013) which allows more detailed investigations to be carried out in all the PLOS journals showing consolidated alternative measures of visibility and impact earned by published articles. Since the University of São Paulo is considered to be "Brazil's leading academic institution in research and graduate education" (Schwartzman, 2006), this study is an attempt to find evidence of the USP performance that goes beyond traditional metrics, by using the alternative indicators provided by PLOS-ALM and making a comparison with other articles in the PLOS journals that come from Brazil.

In this work we present and discuss an approach to the problem of pathogen reinfections in a given area that associates people mobility and transmission of dengue, using a Markov-chain Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) metapopulation model over a network. Our model postulates a parameter that we have named the effective inoculum size which represents a local measure of the population size of infected hosts that arrive at a given location as a function of population size, current incidence at neighboring locations and the connectivity of the patches. This parameter can be interpreted as an indicator of outbreak risk of any location.

  • Plos Progress Update 2014/2015 from the Chairman and Ceo
    PLOS PROGRESS UPDATE 2014/2015 FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO PLOS is dedicated to the transformation of research communication through collaboration, transparency, speed and access. Since its founding, PLOS has demonstrated the viability of high quality, Open Access publishing; launched the ground- breaking PLOS ONE, a home for all sound science selected for its rigor, not its “significance”; developed the first Article- Level Metrics (ALMs) to demonstrate the value of research beyond the perceived status of a journal title; and extended the impact of research after its publication with the PLOS data policy, ALMs and liberal Open Access licensing. But challenges remain. Scientific communication is far from its ideal state. There is still inconsistent access, and research is oered at a snapshot in time, instead of as an evolving contribution whose reliability and significance are continually evaluated through its lifetime. The current state demands that PLOS continue to establish new standards and expectations for scholarly communication. These include a faster and more ecient publication experience, more transparent peer review, assessment though the lifetime of a work, better recognition of the range of contributions made by collaborators and placing researchers and their communities back at the center of scientific communication. To these ends, PLOS is developing ApertaTM, a system that will facilitate and advance the submission and peer review process for authors, editors and reviewers. PLOS is also creating richer and more inclusive forums, such as PLOS Paleontology and PLOS Ecology Communities and the PLOS Science Wednesday redditscience Ask Me Anything. Progress is being made on early posting of manuscripts at PLOS.

Abstract Background Chikungunya is an emerging arbovirus that has caused explosive outbreaks in Africa and Asia for decades and invaded the Americas just over a year ago. During this ongoing invasion, it has spread to 45 countries where it has been transmitted autochthonously, infecting nearly 1.3 million people in total. Methods Here, we made use of weekly, country-level case reports to infer relationships between transmission and two putative climatic drivers: temperature and precipitation averaged across each country on a monthly basis. To do so, we used a TSIR model that enabled us to infer a parametric relationship between climatic drivers and transmission potential, and we applied a new method for incorporating a probabilistic description of the serial interval distribution into the TSIR framework.

  • Below the Mesophotic C
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Below the Mesophotic C. C. Baldwin1, L. Tornabene2 & D. R. Robertson3 Mesophotic coral ecosystems, which occur at depths of ~40 to 150 m, have received recent scientifc attention as potential refugia for organisms inhabiting deteriorating shallow reefs. These ecosystems merit research in their own right, as they harbor both depth-generalist species and a distinctive reef-fsh Received: 31 August 2017 fauna. Reef ecosystems just below the mesophotic are globally underexplored, and the scant recent literature that mentions them often suggests that mesophotic ecosystems transition directly into Accepted: 12 February 2018 those of the deep sea. Through submersible-based surveys in the Caribbean Sea, we amassed the most Published: xx xx xxxx extensive database to date on reef-fsh diversity between ~40 and 309 m at any single tropical location. Our data reveal a unique reef-fsh assemblage living between ~130 and 309 m that, while taxonomically distinct from shallower faunas, shares strong evolutionary afnities with them. Lacking an existing name for this reef-faunal zone immediately below the mesophotic but above the deep aphotic, we propose “rariphotic.” Together with the “altiphotic,” proposed here for the shallowest reef-faunal zone, and the mesophotic, the rariphotic is part of a depth continuum of discrete faunal zones of tropical reef fshes, and perhaps of reef ecosystems in general, all of which warrant further study in light of global declines of shallow reefs. Studies of deep tropical-reef ecosystems have surged during the past decade1–10. This is due in part to the global decline of shallow coral reefs having sparked interest in the potential for deep reefs to act as refugia for shallow-water organisms stressed by warming surface waters or deteriorating reefs.

However, a gradual and fundamental shift in the practice of academics is taking place. Every aspect of scholarly practice is seeing changes effected by the adoption and possibilities of new technologies. This book will explore these changes, their implications for higher education, the possibilities for new forms of scholarly practice and what lessons can be drawn from other sectors.
