Salami Publication
This document discusses the concept of "salami publication" or "salami slicing" which refers to splitting up the results of a single research study into multiple smaller publications. This allows researchers to artificially inflate their publication counts but it is considered questionable and unethical. Key points made include that salami publication misleads readers and reviewers by counting the same data multiple times, distorts the results of meta-analyses, and gives undeserved credit and benefits to authors. While small publishable units can help early career researchers, relying too heavily on this strategy is not looked upon favorably for career advancement. The document also provides recommendations for transparently reporting additional findings from a previously published study.
Lec13 Scientific Papers and Communications

What is Science?
The document discusses identifying bias in scientific studies. It states that good science minimizes bias through random sampling, minimizing measurement bias, and having a large enough sample size. Bias can influence results and different scientists may find different solutions to the same problem. The scientific community engages in quality control like independent duplication of studies and peer review to eliminate bias. Results are more reliable if verified through these methods.
Naturetalk
- Nature publishes only about 7% of submissions and seeks papers that report fundamentally new insights or discoveries that are very important to their field.
- Papers should be written to be comprehensible to scientists outside of the narrow specialty and explain why the work advances big problems in the field.
- Publishing in Nature provides wide publicity for the science and recognition outside of the specialty, but publicity should only come after peer review.

Technology is defined as the application of scientific principles to solve problems. Examples are given of how principles in chemistry, physics and biology lead to technologies like perfume making, bridge building and fruit tree cultivation. The document argues science should be viewed as a way of thinking empirically and objectively to gain understanding, as a way of investigating through testing hypotheses, and as a body of established knowledge that is open to questioning. Overall it presents science and technology as advancing knowledge and improving life through removing fear, better materials, easier tasks, and disease treatment.
Lesson 13 synthesizing information from relavant literature
1. A synthesis draws on multiple sources to discuss a topic by inferring relationships between sources such as essays, articles, observations, and interviews.
2. There are two main types of synthesis - explanatory synthesis which objectively presents facts to help readers understand a topic, and argument synthesis which presents the author's viewpoint supported by facts from sources.
3. Sources that can be used in a synthesis include documents, numerical records, oral statements, and relics.

The atomic bomb was invented by the Manhattan Project, a massive scientific research program led by the United States during World War II. The project involved over 130,000 people and was headed up by physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. However, the work of physicist Leo Szilard was also instrumental in getting the project started earlier. Szilard had the initial idea that a nuclear chain reaction could be used for a bomb and pushed hard to get funding, partnering with Albert Einstein to convince the US government to fund nuclear weapons research. This ultimately led to the creation of the Manhattan Project and the invention of the atomic bomb years earlier than may have otherwise occurred.

Say Hello to Research!
Walk down the hall in any building on your campus where social and
behavioral science professors have their offices in such departments as
psychology, education, nursing, sociology, and human development. Do you
see any bearded, disheveled, white-coated men wearing rumpled pants and
smoking pipes, hunched over their computers and mumbling to themselves?
How about disheveled, white-coated women wearing rumpled skirts, smoking
pipes, hunched over their computers, and mumbling to themselves?
Researchers hard at work? No. Stereotypes of what scientists look like
and do? Yes. What you are more likely to see in the halls of your classroom
building or in your adviser’s office are men and women of all ages who are
hard at work. They are committed to finding the answer to just another piece
of the great puzzle that helps us understand human behavior a little better
than the previous generation of scientists.
Like everyone else, these people go to work in the morning, but unlike
many others, these researchers have a passion for understanding what they
study and for coming as close as possible to finding the “truth.” Although these
truths can be elusive and sometimes even unobtainable, researchers work
toward discovering them for the satisfaction of answering important questions
and then using this new information to help others. Early intervention
programs, treatments of psychopathology, new curricula, conflict resolution
techniques, effective drug treatment programs, and even changes in policy and
law have resulted from evidence collected by researchers. Although not always
perfect, each little bit of evidence gained from a new study or a new idea for a
study contributes to a vast legacy of knowledge for the next generation of
researchers such as yourself.
You may already know and appreciate something about the world of
research. The purpose of this book is to provide you with the tools you need to
do even more, such as
• develop an understanding of the research process.
• prepare yourself to conduct research of your own.
• learn how to judge the quality of research.
• learn how to read, search through, and summarize other research.
• learn the value of research activities conducted online.
• reveal the mysteries of basic statistics and show you how easily they can
be used.
• measure the behaviors, traits, or attributes that interest you.
• collect the type of data that relate to your area of interest.

This assignment should be written as a paper (i.e. in paragraph form) and should be at least 750 words (excluding references). You do not need to repeat the instructions in the assignment. You will watch
three
of the TED Talks from the list below. While watching the talks you selected, select specific ideas from the talk that characterize science. Synthesize the ideas that you identified in the talks with what you have learned in class to develop an explanation of the nature of science. Your explanation must be supported by at least three different characteristics of science. Additionally, you will compare and contrast each characteristic from your explanation of the nature of science to the characteristics of the nature of a discipline that interests you, and speculate on the types of questions people in these fields can work together to answer.

In Search of Research
This document outlines a presentation by Dr. P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar from Stanford University on research. It defines research as the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information to increase understanding. It discusses differences between engineering and science, and says classifying research as good or bad is not meaningful. It also addresses what constitutes a research paper, differences between academic and industry research, and lists "commandments" for creativity and success in research. The overall message is that research makes researchers better learners by developing in-depth skills and solving real problems.

Michael Fenton - Reclaiming the Maker Space for Science
This document shares stories from the author's experience as a scientist, educator, and science communicator. The stories are meant to inspire and challenge views of science education. The author advocates for more authentic, hands-on science learning where students can observe phenomena first-hand rather than just reading about it. The maker movement is discussed critically, arguing that science has always involved hands-on experimentation and the development of new technologies. Examples are given of student science projects that made real contributions. The key message is that more experiential, student-directed learning can make science more engaging and impactful.
Getting started to research
A research paper involves arguing and presenting a thesis, analyzing and persuading the reader of one's position using facts, details, examples and opinions. Choosing a good research topic is important - it should be interesting, researchable, based on facts rather than opinions, and narrow enough to be completed using available resources. Some ways to choose a topic include brainstorming, making idea webs or diagrams, and narrowing a general topic by adding more specific details. A supervisor can guide the research process but the student must work independently while receiving feedback and advice.
What is a science revised 2011
This document discusses the nature of science and the scientific process as it relates to the field of psychology. It outlines that psychology focuses on applying the scientific process and research cycle to gain a systematic understanding of human behavior and the mind. The scientific process involves forming a question, hypothesis, method, analysis and reporting of results to build verifiable, cumulative and public knowledge. While psychology aims to be scientific, it also acknowledges limitations in fully studying topics like human subjectivity.

Academia
The document discusses how academic incentives in science can sometimes hurt scientific progress. It argues that while the incentive structures of science aim to further scientific goals through principles like peer review and replication, the incentive structures in academia are more economic in nature and emerge from competition. This can lead academic incentives to promote "bad science" by rewarding factors like publications in high impact journals over rigor. It suggests ways to better align academic incentives with scientific goals, such as making publishing more open and decentralizing funding.
Developing A Topic
The document provides guidance on developing a strong research topic for an academic paper or project. It recommends that students first match their topic to the specific assignment requirements in terms of length, allowed sources, and available research time. The document then advises refining an initial topic idea through background research and discussing options with the instructor to ensure the topic is appropriate and resources are available. Finally, it stresses developing a clear thesis statement to focus the research and answer the guiding question.

cm121 Basic Library Info Part 1
This is part 1 of 2 parts about the basics of library research at the Globe Education Nework Library: http://www.globeeducationnetwork.com/library/
CVA Biology I - B10vrv1012
1. Scientific ideas are generated through curiosity, skepticism, open-mindedness, and creativity. Scientists share their findings through peer-reviewed journals and building upon each other's work which can lead to new hypotheses and theories.
2. Science operates within a social context and cannot answer ethical or moral questions. While it aims to be objective, personal biases can still influence the application of science. Understanding science helps society make informed decisions about public policy.
3. A scientific theory is a well-supported explanation that unifies broad observations and enables accurate predictions. No theory is absolute truth as science continues to advance with new evidence.
Research Methods Lecture 1
Lecture 1 in the Research Methods series.
See also notes for the Research Methods series: http://www.slideshare.net/lenallis/research-methods-lectures-notes

-Why research is important
-How to identify good and bad sources of information
-How read critically
-How to write clearly
-Quantitative and Qualitative research
-The basics of experimental method
The overall point should be for students to take the activity of research seriously, but also to be motivated to go and conduct research and engage critically with material.
Week 2 science news assignment popular science news articlema
This document provides instructions for an assignment comparing a popular science news article about psilocybin and depression to the original scientific study. Students are asked to read both articles, identify their similarities and differences, discuss their findings with classmates, and write a one-page summary of their analysis. The goal is to develop critical reading skills and the ability to evaluate how accurately scientific findings are portrayed in news coverage.
New Generation Science Standards
1. The book introduces the formula for change: Motivation x Ability = Change. For real change to occur, both motivation and ability must be addressed.
2. The authors identify six sources of influence that can be leveraged to drive change: personal motivation, personal ability, social motivation, social ability, structural motivation, and structural ability. Successful change initiatives activate multiple sources.
3. Vital behaviors are identified - the few key actions that must be performed consistently to achieve a goal

C:\Fakepath\The Motion Of The Sun & Moon
The document discusses the apparent motion of the sun and moon as seen from Earth over the course of a day. It explains that the sun does not actually move but rather it is the Earth's rotation that makes it appear to rise and set. The moon also appears to change shape cyclically each night due to its rotation and revolution around Earth, exposing different portions to sunlight throughout its orbit.
C:\Fakepath\Standard Indicator 4
The document introduces the concept that air is a substance that surrounds us, takes up space, and whose movement we feel as wind. It provides activities for students to investigate these properties of air through using paper to feel air movement, inflating balloons to see how air takes up space, and copying statements about the properties of air onto individual pieces of paper. The overall purpose is for students to begin exploring and explaining the fundamental properties that define air.
