Website Validity
This document discusses S.P.I.D.E.R., a method for evaluating the validity and reliability of websites. S.P.I.D.E.R. stands for Source, Purpose, Information, Domain, Educational value, and Reliability. It provides guidelines for analyzing the source and author of a website, the purpose and potential biases, the relevance and currency of information, implications of the domain extension, depth and quality of content, and whether the same information can be found on other reliable sites. The document also warns that search engine rankings do not guarantee a site's validity and that Wikipedia should be used cautiously as a source for school projects.
Using Social Media to Increase your Research Impact
This document discusses how using social media can help increase the impact of research. It recommends blogging to build reputation, using Twitter for dissemination and engagement, and tracking altmetrics to measure different types of impact beyond citations. Altmetrics can provide real-time indicators of a paper's impact and capture how research is engaging various audiences. In the future, more types of scholarly contributions will be tracked and valued, beyond traditional citations. Social media is a way for researchers to promote their work, engage with other experts, and discover new topics and potential collaborators.

Creating conversation by pressing a link: Which invitations do third-parties ...
The document summarizes research on the types of links readers choose to click through from a blog post. Data was collected on 787 click-throughs from the blog Professional-Lurker.com over 3 months. The top two categories clicked were links to the author's personal website and academic articles, accounting for 40.5% of clicks. Readers showed significant interest in additional information about the blog author. Links to entire blogs were clicked more than links to specific blog posts, suggesting readers want to view the full blog to assess its credibility before viewing a single post.
Social Mar
The document discusses social media research (SMR) as a qualitative research method. SMR involves analyzing existing social media data as the primary data source rather than surveys or focus groups. It has advantages like access to large amounts of natural conversation data over time, but disadvantages like lack of demographic information. The document provides examples of how SMR is used in marketing, social psychology, and academia. Ethical considerations for privacy and interpretation are also discussed.

Your Twitter Followers and Facebook Friends Won't Read Your Peer-reviewed Art...
1) Social media like Twitter and Facebook may help spread awareness of academic work, but readers found through these channels are unlikely to pay to access peer-reviewed articles behind paywalls.
2) A study found that when articles were accessible via open access, scholars preferred to directly link to them in tweets, but would provide indirect or "second-order" links if articles were stuck behind paywalls.
3) Scholars in the study indicated they were more likely to share and link to open access articles on social media since they were readily available free of charge.
Libraries empowering scholars (and scholarly communication) through #altmetrics
This document discusses how libraries can empower scholars and scholarly communication through altmetrics. It notes that traditional research evaluation focuses too much on impact factor and that altmetrics provide additional ways to measure impact, including social media mentions, citations in policy documents or Wikipedia. The document recommends that libraries can help by raising expectations of diverse metrics, advocating for their use in evaluation, and supporting altmetrics tools. This would help move evaluations away from a single-dimensional system and capture different types of research impact.
Right time, right place, to change the world
1. The document discusses three areas of change in scholarly communication: public access to papers, treating papers as data, and dataset archiving. Attendees of iEvoBio are well-positioned to understand and guide these changes.
2. Preliminary results from a study on researcher attitudes towards data archiving show that some researchers are worried about others using their data without proper recognition or collecting their own data.
3. The key messages are that the world of scholarly communication is changing, attendees can help shape the future by raising expectations, voices, and glasses to change the status quo.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
