Which Open Access Future Do We Want?, Tom Mowlam
The document discusses two possible futures for open access (OA) publishing - maintaining the status quo or the research community taking more control. Currently, OA is growing but on the terms of large legacy publishers, who lobby against OA mandates and charge high article processing charges (APCs). However, many research initiatives are working to construct an alternative, cooperative OA future that is more global, cost-effective, and unrestricted. The Ubiquity Partner Network (UPN) pulls together various OA initiatives to increase the chances of large-scale disruption away from the legacy publisher model.

Public humanities: from crowdsourcing to community-sourcing
This document discusses definitions and models of crowdsourcing and academic crowdsourcing projects. It defines crowdsourcing as leveraging public participation or contributions to projects. Academic crowdsourcing projects range from open recruitment with generic microtasks to focused recruitment of experts. Successful projects invite engagement from interested community members rather than relying on large anonymous groups. These projects can foster self-organizing communities that collaborate to produce quality outputs through discussion and peer review. Crowdsourcing results in communities forming around topics of interest where participants gain skills and domain knowledge.

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

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.

Editor's Notes
- Researchers communicate differently to other people. Central to this is the social contract of science. We agree to disseminate our work widely, allowing others to validate it and build upon it. The best and arguably only way to do this effectively is OA, so we are an OA publisher. If you don’t do this, it can be termed scientific malpractice, and it applies not only to results.
