AbstractThis paper introduces the concept of standard-relevant publications, complementary to standard-essential patents and framed by the concept of knowledge utilization. By analyzing the reference lists of the around 20,000 standards released by ISO, authors of scientific papers cited in standards who are working at German institutions were identified. The institutions include universities, independent research societies, ministerial research institutes and companies. Almost thirty interviews were conducted with the most-cited of these authors. The interviews addressed the processes by which scientific publications come to be referenced in standards, and the motivations, the barriers and the effects of this. The findings demonstrate opportunities for and challenges to establishing standard-relevant publications as a new performance indicator for researchers, funding agencies, standard-setting organizations and ultimately regulators.

Pmi Estimation

The present review provides an overview of the current research status on the effects of influencing factors on postmortem protein degradation used to estimate the PMI (postmortem interval). Focus was set on characteristics of internal and external influencing factors and the respective susceptibility and/or robustness of protein degradation. A systematic literature search up to December 2020 was conducted on the effect of influencing factors investigated in the context of postmortem protein degradation in the tissues of animals and humans using the scientific databases PubMed and Google Scholar, as well as the reference lists of eligible articles. We identified ten studies investigating a total of seven different influencing factors in degrading tissues/organs (n = 7) of humans and animals using six different methodological approaches. Although comparison of study outcomes was impeded by the high variety of investigated factors, and by high risk of bias appraisals, it was evident that the majority of the influencing factors concerned affected protein degradation, thus being able to modulate the precision of protein degradation-based PMI estimation. The results clearly highlight the need for a thorough screening for corresponding factors to enable the introduction of appropriate correction factors and exclusion criteria. This seems especially relevant for the protein degradation-based study of human PMI to increase the reliability and precision of the method and to facilitate a broader applicability in routine forensic casework.

Catalytic Effects

Scientific publications enable results and ideas to be transmitted throughout the scientific community. The number and type of journal publications also have become the primary criteria used in evaluating career advancement. Our analysis suggests that publication practices have changed considerably in the life sciences over the past thirty years. More experimental data is now required for publication, and the average time required for graduate students to publish their first paper has increased and is approaching the desirable duration of Ph.D. training. Since publication is generally a requirement for career progression, schemes to reduce the time of graduate student and postdoctoral training may be difficult to implement without also considering new mechanisms for accelerating communication of their work. The increasing time to publication also delays potential catalytic effects that ensue when many scientists have access to new information. The time has come for life scientists, funding agencies, and publishers to discuss how to communicate new findings in a way that best serves the interests of the public and the scientific community.

The study shows how nanotechnology evolves in developed countries and Brazil, raising aspects of private and governmental initiatives. The investigation was based in scientific literature, electronic articles and conference reports. Several sources of literature were used, including electronic databases and reference lists. By this study, it was observed that, although nanotechnology is in initial stage of development all over the world, the developed countries have had growing public and private investments in the area each year. In those countries, there is a concern toward both, the formation of specialists in nanotechnology and the transference of technology developed in universities and research institutes to industry. In Brazil, the study showed that despite the growing concern of investigators, national research centers and financial centers toward the development of the nanotechnology, there is still a need for more investment and formation of area specialists.

International collaboration and research funding in Sea Level Rise (SLR) research are investigated in this chapter. SLR can be taken as a paradigmatic research area to study the international scientific collaboration and research funding efforts because it is affecting the whole planet and is an interdisciplinary research area involving disciplines belonging to the geosciences but also the life sciences, technology sciences, and social sciences. The aim of the chapter is to identify the main stakeholders in the topic, institutions, and countries; analyze overlapping efforts; identify possible research gaps; and to study the role played by the funding agencies. Bibliometrics and a social network analysis approach are applied. Co-occurrence networks of keywords, affiliations, and funding agencies among scientific papers in Thomson Reuters' Web of Science Core Collection in the SLR topic are analyzed. Conclusions show that international scientific collaboration is common in SLR, but international co-financing is less frequent.

Renewable energy is a key breakthrough to mitigate carbon emissions, to reduce global warming, and for the creation of sustainable societies. Renewable energy is a broad area that includes different technologies that are being continuously improved to increase their efficiency and reduce cost. Many papers have been published in the last decades dealing with renewable energy issues, which is why it becomes important to determine the main topics of research, the main publications devoted to publishing scientific papers about renewable energy, and how researchers collaborate in this discipline. With these aims in view, this paper presents an advanced method for analysing publications about renewable energy and scientific collaboration networks in this field. This method is based on automatically obtaining bibliographic data from scientific publications through the use of the Scopus Database API Interface, which are then analysed using community detection algorithms and graph visualization software. The results obtained show that it is possible to determine the main areas of research activity as well as to identify the structures of the collaboration network in the field of renewable energy.

At present, a great amount of scientific papers, monographs, and reference books dealing with analytical and differential geometry of surfaces have been published. They contain materials for following geometric investigations, for implementation of received earlier geometrical results into architecture, building, and machinery manufacturing. In the paper it has been shown on the specific examples that sometimes the results of geometric investigations for shells’ middle surfaces taken in published references for the following application without check could lead to serious errors because of ones in the surfaces equations or inexactitudes in a surfaces class definition. At present, 38 classes of surfaces, uniting more than 600 ones that have their own names and are described in scientific publications, are known. The author has worked up a great number of researches and found errors, inaccuracies, and alternative versions in monographs and scientific papers, related to questions on geometry of developable surfaces (conic and torse surfaces), surfaces of rev olution (paraboloid and ellipsoid of revolution, nodoid), minimal surfaces (catenoids), conoids, and cyclic surfaces including the canal ones. In actual practice there are much more geometric errors, but in this paper are discussed only well-known geometricians and architects’ works, as well as in this paper there is no information on surfaces that are presented at specialized sites in Internet. Here are encountered misreckoned coefficients for surfaces’ fundamental quadratic forms, there are errors in the formulae for the quadratic forms’ coefficients determination, as well as in the formulae for the calculation a surface element’s area, surface’s principle curvatures, and so on. All of encountered errors have been divided into four groups. The fourth group’s errors named as “typographical errors and authors’ slips of the pen” have been considered fragmentarily because they are encountered the most frequently, and can be corrected by the authors themselves in the following papers.

Scientific writing plays a crucial role in determining the quality of students and universities. So far, the ability of students to establish scientific works is varied. Some students can produce scientific work in an APIK (Asli, Penting, Ilmiah, Konsisten) way which means Original, Important, Scientific, and Consistent), as well as in a "SMART" (Specific, Manageable, Acceptable, Realistic and Time-bound) way. However, some of them also encounter difficulties so they need assistance on a collaborative based scientific writing through Online Research Clinic (ORC) approach. Collaborative-based mentoring can build collegiality and collaboration among tutors, students, and UPBJJ-UT managers. Effective mentoring requires an ORC approach. An online research clinic is a place designed to help students who have difficulty writing scientific papers through clinical methods, starting from problem identification, diagnosis, prognosis, synthesis, treatment, reflection using internet / online network media such as website, email, WhatsApp, telegram, Google classroom, webinars, zoom and so on. Online Research Clinic is a solution to solve students' difficulties in writing scientific papers. The existence of ORC is an innovation to create independent learning in the digital era due to its flexibility and easy accessibility at all times both face-to-face and online. Besides, it is also used by tutors and managers to collaborate in providing consultation services to students. This study aims to analyze and synthesize the management model of scientific work mentoring with a proper online clinical research approach for UPJJB-UT Semarang students. The research method uses Research and Development. Data obtained from the results of scientific work mentoring, needs analysis, testing, and model validation. Data collection techniques use questionnaires, interviews, documentation studies, observation, and FGD. The validity test uses model validation from experts and practitioners. The qualitative descriptive analysis uses data displays, data reduction, data verification, and conclusion. The results of the study conclude that the mentoring management model implemented so far was categorized as sufficient, still theoretical, and not practical yet. ORC assistance model is very important and needed because it is practical, effective, and efficient. The ORC mentoring model is very feasible so that it can be implemented to improve the quality of students in producing scientific papers for fulfilling assignments, requirements for completing study program, and scientific publications.
