Both early social psychologists and the modern, interdisciplinary scientific community have advocated for diverse team science. We echo this call and describe three common pitfalls of solo science illustrated by the target article. We discuss how a collaborative and inclusive approach to science can both help researchers avoid these pitfalls and pave the way for more rigorous and relevant research.

This paper aims to explore deeply about civic engagement in strengthening environmental cares. Civic engagement refers to the way citizens participate in the life of a community to improve the condition of others or to help shape the future of society. The writing of this paper is supported by literature studies and relevant research journals in the form of national journals and international journals. Civic engagement is expected to strengthen the character of environmental care clean, healthy, comfortable, and cultured environment. Movement to improve the environment of a more effective society must be supported in terms of education that develops responsible, creative and knowledgeable society. Civic engagement becomes important to contribute in a community that moves to manage, preserve and preserve the environment such as the development strategy of the Mangrove Center Foundation.

The way that diversity, equity, and inclusion impact scientific careers varies for everyone, but it is evident that institutions providing an environment where being different or having differences creates a sense of being welcomed, supported, and valued are beneficial to the scientific community at large. In this commentary, three short stories from Texas-based microbiologists are used to depict (i) the importance of bringing the guiding principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion within their professional roles, (ii) the need to apply and translate those principles to support and enable successful scientific careers among peers and trainees, and (iii) the impact of effective science communication to increase the understanding of microbial environments among the community at large.

This chapter explores in detail what happens after a paper is published, in terms of the ways in which papers have an impact, the importance of subsequent citations, and how the importance of a paper to its parent field can be eventually judged. This is illustrated by following the citation trends of several key historical scientific papers (e.g., Watson and Crick on DNA, the first report of the identification of Buckminsterfullerene) and exploring rates of citation, the peak citation times, the manner in which the papers were referred to at different times, and, in general, the way in which ripples of information transfer across the scientific community. Examples of papers to which reaction was negative (e.g., the report on cold fusion) or mixed (NASA’s report of possible fossil micro-organisms in Martian rock) are also discussed.

Post Traumatic

This target article focuses on the construct of post–traumatic growth—positive psychological change experienced as a result of the struggle with highly challenging life circumstances. Prominent theories of post–traumatic growth define it in terms of personality change, and as a result, this area of research should be of great interest to personality psychologists. Despite this fact, most of the research on this topic has not been sufficiently informed by relevant research in personality psychology, and much of the extant research suffers from significant methodological limitations. We review the literature on post–traumatic growth, with a particular focus on how researchers have conceptualized it and the specific methodological issues associated with these conceptualizations. We outline some ways in which personality science can both be enriched by the study of this phenomenon and inform rigorous research on post–traumatic growth and provide a series of guidelines for future research of post–traumatic growth as positive personality change.

Purpose – This paper aims to serve as an introduction to a rather under-researched field. It aims to provide a conceptual definition of destination management organisations (DMOs) serving as leadership networks in destinations drawing on what is to be called the DMO Leadership Cycle – a guiding framework integrating the perspectives of management, governance and leadership to influence destination development trajectories. Design/methodology/approach – A synthesis of the extant literature on destination management and governance, coupled with the latest academic contributions in destination leadership serves to uncover the existence of a gap in the way leadership is seen in the underpinned domain. DMOs are conceptualised and their role in serving as leadership networks in destinations is then critically discussed. Findings – Perspectives of destination management, governance and leadership and their interaction with one another is fundamental to DMOs serving as leadership networks. The paper provides justification for and indicative definition of contemporary DMOs serving as leadership networks in destinations. Research limitations/implications – The conceptual nature of this paper calls for empirical evidence where DMOs serving as leadership networks are further investigated in practice and across diverse political and economic contexts. Practical implications – This paper aims to shape destination leadership practice by introducing an alternative, yet inclusive approach to leadership focussing on collective orchestration in destinations undertaken by DMO networks. Social implications – The paper aims to trigger a discussion on the importance of all-encompassing and integrative leadership as a means for widening participation across diverse destination groups; to serve as an input into and ultimately – shape policy development. Originality/value – This discussion provides an alternative perspective to the way we see leadership in destinations. The paper argues that “impactful” leadership is rather embedded in a formal structure and distributed in nature.

Wave energy is a sort of clean energy existing in ocean with mass of storage, and the way how to observe, detect and measure is the very first step of exploring wave energy and other purpose. Shanghai Ocean University has focused this field for long, and proposed a kind of impeller wheel wave energy detector system which is based on buoy or other small offshore equipments. To make the wave energy detector efficiency and precise, some analysis is very necessary especially the fluid analysis. With the analysis results some optimizations for structure and combination of the impeller wheel are chosen to accomplish design target. And the method of CFD simulation and theory will be a reference for relevant research.

The way an author or a group of authors are cited tells more about the real impact of their work than authorship and collaborations. Indeed, the connections within the scientific community can be more accurately elicited from the co-citation graph than from the collaboration graph. We suggest some indices that can be drawn from the co-citation graph in order to capture the relevance of individual authors and the relevance of groups of authors.

Covalent Interactions

Porphyrinoids are extremely attractive for their electronic, optical, and coordination properties as well as for their versatile substitution at meso/β-positions. All these features allow porphyrinoids to behave as chiroptical hosts for chiral recognition by means of non-covalent interactions towards chiral guests. Over the years, chiral discrimination of chiral molecules such as amino acids, alcohols, amines, hydroxy-carboxylic acids, etc. has aroused the interest of the scientific community. Hence, this review aims to report on the progress to date by illustrating some relevant research regarding the chiral recognition of a multitude of chiral organic guests through several chiral mono- and bis-porphyrins via different spectroscopic techniques.

On the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, public administration of the scientific and technological system was shifting more and more towards the total use of such a “tool” as estimated indicators. The article provides examples of the analysis of the harmful consequences of administrative-command coercion of Soviet science to produce indicators in V.L. Tambovtsev’s two monographs of 1990 and 1993 and in E.V. Semenov’s monograph of 1990. The experience of this analysis thirty years ago became again relevant in connection with the restoration in Russia, starting from 2012, of a system of administrative-command management of science, which based on forcing science to produce indicators. The article shows how, under the pressure of production of indicators, the transformation of science from the production of knowledge to the production of informational noise occurs. It shows that scientific production under the conditions of “demonstrative” management forced to reorient from the production of knowledge for its consumer to the production of indicators for the administrator. Work on indicators leads to the degradation of scientific organizations and a decrease in the professional level of the scientific community. The situation aggravated by a catastrophic decline in the professional level of government officials responsible for scientific and technological policy and the management of the scientific and technological field. The way out of this situation is possible due to the mass return to the system of state administration of science, starting with key positions, the category of professionals, by revising the system of goals and objectives of the country’s scientific and technological development, including replacing formal indicators and standards with meaningful goals and objectives, by the way of revival of the system of self-organization and wide self-government of the scientific community, by launching an innovative system that allows one to switch scientific production from reports to administrator to the production of knowledge, competencies, research and development for the real sector of the economy.

Petrinovich’s target article focused on how behavioral science is done, including how it is often done wrong, and how it should be done. I identify another malign influence on behavioral science, which, so far as I know, has, until now, been ignored (I would be happy to be shown that I am wrong on this). To wit, the way that Introductions to papers are written creates a niche that can be exploited for the purposes of promoting one’s work to obtain resources or status, or for self-aggrandizement. I offer a few, probably wrongheaded, suggestions for ending this practice.
