<p>The Journal Motricidade has always been walking in parallel with the scientific communities.</p><p>We found that the affiliation of most authors has, nearly always, a University (Uni) or a Research Center (RC). In fact it is almost impossible to conduct research outside these two universes. In this sense, Uni and RC feed the most, if not all, of scientific journals worldwide. By this I mean that is in the interest of Motricidade to be associated with high-quality RC and Uni equally recognized.</p><p>With regard to RC, Motricidade will publish this year a supplement of the International Congress of Research Centre in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD). This RC has conducted research in a variety of areas within the Sport Sciences and Health and always with high recognition and associated publications. It was not by chance that this RC was evaluated with ‘very good’ by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) panel and has been granted funding.</p><p>This Congress, which takes place every two years, targets to converge research and high level practices within these three areas: Sports, Health and Human Development. The 2016 CIDESD edition is dedicated to "Exercise and Health, Sports and Human Development" and will be held at the University of Évora, between 11 and 12 November of 2016. The readers can check the program in the following link <a href="http://gdoc.uevora.pt/450120" target="_blank">http://gdoc.uevora.pt/450120</a> and get more information in the Congress Site available at <a href="http://www.cidesd2016.uevora.pt/">http://www.cidesd2016.uevora.pt/</a>.</p><p>With regard to Uni, Motricidade signed a cooperation protocol with the University of Beira Interior (UBI) in May of 2016, involving the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge in Sports Sciences, Psychology, Human Development and Health.</p><p>At the present, UBI hosts more than 6,000 students spread across five faculties - Arts &amp; Letters, Sciences, Health Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences and Engineering.</p><p>When looking at the rankings, for instance the Times Higher Education (THE), v.2016-17 (<a href="https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/universidade-da-beira-interior#ranking-dataset/589595">https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/universidade-da-beira-interior#ranking-dataset/589595</a>), we can see that UBI is growing, mostly in Research publications, in other words, on the number of research publications, where at least one author is affiliated to the university (<a href="http://www.umultirank.org/#!/home?trackType=home&amp;sightMode=undefined">http://www.umultirank.org/#!/home?trackType=home&amp;sightMode=undefined</a>).</p><p>We hope to contribute to maintain or increase this number of publications, since among the various clauses drawn up, in order to encourage research with publication in peer review journals, it was agreed that any manuscript submitted and accepted for publication, whose author or collaborators are affiliated with UBI is due half the rate of publication.</p><p>Union makes us stronger.</p>

On January 27, 2016, an agreement was signed with OmniaScience to select articles to be published in the journal Intangible Capital, in a special issue titled "Current Trends in Research in Accounting, Finance and Management Control." The agreement was reached within the framework of three events at the University of Valencia, from June 27 to 30, 2016: XXI Workshop on Accounting and Management Control. “Memorial Raymond Konopka”, X Iberoamerican Congress of Management Accounting, III  International Congress on Port Management.More than 200 papers were presented to these events. After being peer-reviewed by a scientific committee made up of 50 professionals, 123 papers were selected. Then, through a rigorous selection process, 10 papers were sent to Intangible Capital. Finally, after another blind evaluation process, the journal chose 7 papers we are presenting today.

The burgeoning area of plant genetics may hold the key to overcoming some of the most pressing environmental challenges. For example, crops can be genetically improved to make them better able to adapt to climate change, while genetic engineering of crops could help to address food security challenges. As such, a comprehensive understanding of plant genetics may enable humankind to make headway in addressing climate change and resulting challenges. Research in this area is therefore paramount. Research work undertaken in the Plant Transgenic Design Initiative (PTraD) in the Gene Research Center (GRC) within Tsukuba Plant Innovation Research Center (T-PIRC), located at the University of Tsukuba in Japan, is focused on plant sciences and biotechnologies. The PTraD is the centre of excellence in plant biotechnology research in Japan, shedding light on plant genetics and how this can be harnessed to solve environmental challenges such as climate change.

As part of ARL’s Research Library Impact Framework initiative, the University of Washington (UW) Libraries explored UW faculty and postdoctoral researcher needs for understanding and communicating the impact of their work, with a focus on researchers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and health sciences fields. The project was designed to understand the challenges researchers face in this area, identify how participants in these fields define and measure impact, and explore their priorities for research-impact support. The project team conducted a survey and follow-up interviews to investigate these questions. This research report presents the project team’s methodology, findings, and recommendations for future research.

President Nkrumah, in opening this Congress in the Great Hall of the University of Ghana, called for the objective scientific study of Africa. He urged: ‘While some of us are engaged with the political unification of Africa, Africanists everywhere must also help in building the spiritual and cultural foundations of the unity of our continent.’ This appeal had in a sense already been answered by the arrival of scholars from nearly every State in Africa.
