Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed. Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.

  • “The Scholarly Monograph's Descendants,” Mary M. Case, Ed., T
    Association of Research Libraries (ARL®) Clifford A. Lynch, “The Scholarly Monograph’s Descendants,” Mary M. Case, ed., The Specialized Scholarly Monograph in Crisis, or How Can I Get Tenure if You Won’t Publish My Book? (Washington, DC: Association of Research Libraries, 1999), pp. 137‐148. The Scholarly Monograph's Descendants Clifford Lynch, Executive Director, Coalition for Networked Information Introduction This paper looks at the possible evolutionary paths that the current printed scholarly monograph may take, paying particular attention to the ways in which technical, economic, and cultural factors may shape this evolution. It does not predict the demise of today's printed scholarly monograph, but suggests that it will coexist with a series of successors that will offer new points of balance among technical and economic constraints and opportunities and that will provide authors with new ways in which to communicate their research. For some works and purposes, the new forms will be superior; in other cases, the traditional printed monograph will likely remain the preferred form. I begin with a brief examination of the current state of the scholarly journal in its transition to electronic formats–or at least to electronic distribution. This transition is arguably more advanced and taking place on a broader scale than is the evolution of the monograph, and thus it may offer insights into what we can expect for the monograph. At the same time, I will argue that much of the experience with the journal may be misleading when extrapolated directly to the future of the monograph. I have chosen words carefully: I believe that what is happening to the journal is best described as a transition or migration, while what we will see with the monograph is the evolution of digitally based successor genres that will coexist with the current print monograph.

  • Scientific Literature Databases and Citation Quality Indicators
    International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering Société Internationale de Mécanique des Sols et de la Géotechnique SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE DATABASES AND CITATION QUALITY INDICATORS A REPORT FOR THE BOARD OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING Antonio Gens & Pierre Delage August 2015 1. Introduction It is a fact of the current academic environment that the evaluation of individual researchers, funding proposals and even Departments and Universities resort to quantitative indicators related to publication metrics that in turn are based on citation statistics. The availability of rather comprehensive databases incorporating citation data allows the use of those instruments in a generally straightforward manner. Thus, research visibility and academic hiring and promotion have become strongly linked to citation counts. Of course, evaluation and ranking is not the only (or even the main) aim of citation indices; they are also essential for in-depth exploration of an academic discipline or research topic. As Eugene Garfield, the father of citation indexing of academic literature, wrote: “Citations are the formal, explicit linkages between papers that have particular points in common. A citation index is built around these linkages. It lists publications that have been cited and identifies the sources of the citations. Anyone conducting a literature search can find from one to dozens of additional papers on a subject just by knowing one that has been cited. And every paper that is found provides a list of new citations with which to continue the search.” However, in this document attention will be mainly focused on citations as indicators of quality and prestige.

  • How to Read a Historical Monograph Like a Historian October 2018 Gks & Jr
    How to Read a Historical Monograph Like a Historian October 2018 gks & jr 1. Start with a BOOK REVIEW Professional historians do all the time. If you want to know a book well-for a discussion or for a research project-the book review is of course no substitute for reading the book. But a good book review will help you to understand the significance of the book you are going to read, its argument, its place in a broader conversation that has been going on. Book reviews have never been so easy to find and access. For a simple search, you might use JSTOR, a vast archive of scholarly journals. It contains the full text of journals running from their first year of publication up to a five years ago. To use JSTOR (http://www.jstor.org, accessible on campus), enter the title you'd like to search for, scroll down and check the box that says history journals, scroll down further and check the box that says reviews, then click on search. Other useful sources: Academic Search Premier, Historical Abstracts, American History and Life, H-Net Reviews. Of course, you have to read book reviews (as all else) with a critical eye. Reviewers, you will see, often disagree about the value of a book, an approach, or an argument. 2. Read the INTRODUCTION very carefully Ask yourself the following questions: * What historical problem is the author addressing? * Are there other interpretations (the work of other historians) that the author finds lacking? Why? * What evidence (what sources) is the author going to examine? * What questions is the author asking about the subject? * What are the answers to these questions? * What is the thesis of the book? All of these questions should be answered in the introduction.

  • The Rewards of Platform Unity: Moving to One Repository at Universidad De La Salle Delivers Benefits
    Case Study The rewards of platform unity: moving to one repository at Universidad de La Salle delivers benefits To better support the mission that drives Colombia’s Universidad de La Salle — to generate knowledge that will transform Colombian society by contributing to equity, the defense of life and human development — the university recognized the need to combine three separate digital platforms into a single unifying online presence while simultaneously addressing a long list of technical challenges. After considering several options, it identified Digital Commons as the perfect fit for its needs. This case study charts the university’s decision-making process, the rewards it has subsequently reaped and eight tips for other institutions embarking on a digital repository journey. Introduction Founded in 1964, Universidad de La Salle1 is a private Catholic the other its digital educative resources.

Currently, this process depends heavily on experienced attorneys or patent agents, and few tools are avail‑ able. IntelliPatent was created to accelerate this process. Users can simply upload a series of analogs of interest, and IntelliPatent will automatically extract the general structural scafold and generate the patent claim text. The program can also extend the patent claim by adding commonly seen R groups from historical lists of the top 30 selling drugs in the US for all R substituents. The program takes MDL SD fle formats as inputs, and the invariable core structure and variable substructures will be identifed as the initial scafold and R groups in the output Markush structure. The results can be downloaded in MS Word format (.docx). The suggested claims can be quickly generated with IntelliPatent. This web‑based tool is freely accessible at https ://intel lipat ent.cmdm.tw/.
