Library Philosophy and Practice (e- journal). 4076. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/4076 Abstract BioScience Trends (BST) is a peer-reviewed journal belongs to the International Research and Cooperation Association for Bio & Socio-Sciences Advancement (IRCA-BSSA) Group of Japan. Despite a decade of existence, no study was performed to measure the bibliometric profile of the journal. The objective of this study was to investigate the bibliometric characteristic of BST. A bibliometric analysis will specifically measure: 1) growth rate of the scientific publications, 2) dynamics of authorship and collaboration pattern; 3) core research themes of articles that have been published, and 4) citation pattern of BST. Bibliographical archives of BST were obtained from the Core Collection database of the Web of Science (WoS). We divided the dataset into three interval periods, 2007-2010, 2011-2014 and 2015-2017 respectively.

  • The Myth of Junk DNA
    The Myth of Junk DNA JoATN h A N W ells s eattle Discovery Institute Press 2011 Description According to a number of leading proponents of Darwin’s theory, “junk DNA”—the non-protein coding portion of DNA—provides decisive evidence for Darwinian evolution and against intelligent design, since an intelligent designer would presumably not have filled our genome with so much garbage. But in this provocative book, biologist Jonathan Wells exposes the claim that most of the genome is little more than junk as an anti-scientific myth that ignores the evidence, impedes research, and is based more on theological speculation than good science. Copyright Notice Copyright © 2011 by Jonathan Wells. All Rights Reserved. Publisher’s Note This book is part of a series published by the Center for Science & Culture at Discovery Institute in Seattle. Previous books include The Deniable Darwin by David Berlinski, In the Beginning and Other Essays on Intelligent Design by Granville Sewell, God and Evolution: Protestants, Catholics, and Jews Explore Darwin’s Challenge to Faith, edited by Jay Richards, and Darwin’s Conservatives: The Misguided Questby John G.

  • Mind the Gap
    Features Special Feature Mind the gap Rhonda Oliver (Group Head of Publishing of the Biochemical Society and Managing Director of Portland Press Limited) In December 2009, the US Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President and the White House Open Government Initiative launched a public consultation on Public Access Policy. The Administration sought comments from public on the access to publicly funded research results, such as those that appear in academic and scholarly journal articles. Currently, the Downloaded from http://www.portlandpress.com/biochemist/article-pdf/32/2/24/4024/bio032020024.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 National Institutes of Health (NIH) require that research funded by its grants be made available to the public online, free, within 12 months of publication. The Administration canvassed opinion on whether this policy should be extended to other science agencies and, if so, how. Introduction We are very concerned by the prospect of any move The Biochemical Society is an international member- to impose free release of peer-reviewed journal articles ship-based learned society which was founded in 1911. with short embargo periods, or no embargo at all, when The Society is based in London and its mission is to there are no authoritative data on whether such a move promote the advancement of the molecular biosciences would affect the viability of our journals in the long run. and to represent the interests of all those working in We welcome the recognition of the importance of the

  • The Ever-Expanding Limits of Enzyme Catalysis and Biodegradation: Polyaromatic, Polychlorinated, Polyfluorinated, and Polymeric Compounds
    Biochemical Journal (2020) 477 2875–2891 https://doi.org/10.1042/BCJ20190720 Review Article The ever-expanding limits of enzyme catalysis and biodegradation: polyaromatic, polychlorinated, polyfluorinated, and polymeric compounds Lawrence P. Wackett1,2,3 and Serina L. Robinson2,3 1 2 Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, Minneapolis, MN 55108, U.S.A.; Biotechnology Institute, University of Downloaded from http://portlandpress.com/biochemj/article-pdf/477/15/2875/890352/bcj-2019-0720c.pdf by guest on 02 October 2021 Minnesota, Twin Cities, Minneapolis, MN 55108, U.S.A.; 3Program in Microbiology, Immunology and Cancer Biology, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, Minneapolis, MN 55108, U.S.A. Correspondence: Lawrence P. Wackett ([email protected]) Biodegradation is simply the metabolism of anthropogenic, or otherwise unwanted, che- micals in our environment, typically by microorganisms. The metabolism of compounds commonly found in living things is limited to several thousand metabolites whereas ∼100 million chemical substances have been devised by chemical synthesis, and ∼100 000 are used commercially. Since most of those compounds are not natively found in living things, and some are toxic or carcinogenic, the question arises as to whether there is some organism somewhere with the enzymes that can biodegrade them. Repeatedly, anthropogenic chemicals have been denoted ‘non-biodegradable,’ only to find they are reactive with one or more enzyme(s). Enzyme reactivity has been organized into categor- ies of functional group transformations. The discovery of new functional group transfor- mations has continually expanded our knowledge of enzymes and biodegradation. This expansion of new-chemical biodegradation is driven by the evolution and spread of newly evolved enzymes.

  • Journal Article Summaries
    Exercise in Reading the Primary Literature CHE 255 - Biochemistry Assignment Overview: For this simple assignment, you must 1) use the search tools Medline or SciFinder Scholar to identify a research article on a biochemical topic (NOT a review paper) that interests you, 2) use the Library and/or MINITEX to obtain a copy of the paper, 3) read the paper carefully, and 4) summarize the paper using directed questions (below) as a guide. Learning Objectives: My hope is reading the primary literature will develop your scientific and information literacy skills and provide you with a vehicle to advance your learning of and cultivate your enthusiasm for biochemistry. Developing scientific and information literacy is an important part of a quality science education. It is also valuable for your pursuit of technically rich, information intensive careers, in addition to your responsibility to become informed citizens. Significantly, proficiency in working with primary source material is a critical step to gaining independence in learning in the field. My specific objectives for this assignment are that you: • Develop proficiency in finding primary material in biomolecular science • Appreciate the procedure for obtaining published data • Develop proficiency in reading and understanding primary literature • Communicate effectively a summary of technically challenging information Directions: To begin, you will need to use Medline (see URL below) or SciFinder to search for a paper that interests you. With both of these tools, you will get lists of titles, authors and hyperlinks to abstracts based on the search terms you use. I would encourage you to consider what aspects of biochemistry you find interesting.
