Editor's Notes
- #2 Once upon a time, a student discovered
- #3 a magazine article that piqued her interest in the topic of how ecologists think and talk about non-native species. She had an upcoming
- #4 assignment to analyze the scholarly discourse around an environmental studies topic, and because
- #5 Smithsonian is a popular magazine rather than a scholarly source, she knew she must go on a quest for the disciplinary discourse on the topic. She mined the Smithsonian article for clues as how to proceed, and gasped when she saw
- #6 This passage. She immediately followed the link to the essay in Nature and found...
- #7 A list of publications by Mark Davis and the 18 other ecologists who agree with him. The student recognized that these would be excellent sources for this side of the scholarly conversation,
- #8 but who disagreed with Davis and the other scientists? To find out, the student identified a publication by Davis himself and
- #9 searched Google Scholar for it. She then clicked the “cited by 662” link and searched within the results
- #10 for the word “disagree” and found several
- #11 articles by scholars other than the 18 mentioned in the Nature piece.
- #12 The student also visited Mark A Davis’s Google Scholar Profile and noticed
- #13 Two articles that are direct responses to articles by other scholars.
- #14 Now this student has a wealth of information from different perspectives.
- #15 Now this student has a wealth of information from different perspectives. And no, this is not the end. Rather, it is just the beginning for the student, who now will grapple with all of these different perspectives and contribute to the conversation through her own paper.
