Abstract Although the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is widely acknowledged to be a poor indicator of quality individual papers, it used routinely evaluate research and researchers. Here, we present simple method for generating citation distributions that underlie JIFs. Application this straightforward protocol reveals full extent skew these variation in citations received by published papers characteristic all scientific journals. there are differences among journals across spectrum JIFs,...

Peer review is an important part of the scientific process, but traditional peer at journals coming under increased scrutiny for its inefficiency and lack transparency. As preprints become more widely used accepted, they raise possibility rethinking peer-review process. Preprints are enabling new forms that have potential to be thorough, inclusive, collegial than journal review, thus fundamentally shift culture toward constructive collaboration. In this Consensus View, we make a call action...

Abstract Using the Ektachem-700 multilayer film analyzer, we defined age- and sex-specific reference intervals for 20 analytes in sera from a healthy population of neonates children ages one to 19 years. Upper lower normal each analyte were determined by nonparametric methods as 0.975 0.025 fractiles, respectively. Newborns have concentrations total protein albumin, higher phosphate, bilirubin, enzymes serum than older do. Concentrations urea, glucose, calcium, bilirubin change rapidly...

Mosaic hybrid zones arise when ecologically differentiated taxa hybridize across a network of habitat patches. Frequent interbreeding small‐scale patchwork can erode species differences that might have been preserved in clinal zone. In particular, the rapid breakdown neutral divergence sets an upper limit to time for which at marker loci persist. We present here case study mosaic zone between fire‐bellied toads Bombina bombina and B. variegata (Anura: Discoglossidae) near Apahida Romania....

This paper demonstrates the effect of habitat heterogeneity and a preference on genetic structure hybrid zone between toads Bombina bombina B. variegata (Anura: Discoglossidae); 1613 from 85 sites across transect near Pešćenica, Croatia, were scored for five unlinked diagnostic allozyme markers. These found to be largely concordant. Aside minor systematic deviations, there was little variance in allele frequency among loci within sites. Yet frequencies did not follow smooth cline, but formed...

Observations on the means, variances, and covariances of quantitative traits across hybrid zones can give information similar to that from Mendelian markers. In addition, they identify particular through which cline is maintained. We describe a survey six zone between Bombina bombina variegata (Amphibia: Discoglossidae) near Pešćenica in Croatia. obtained laboratory measuments belly pattern, skin thickness, mating call, skeletal form, egg size, developmental time tadpoles.

In 2010, the NC3Rs published Animal Research: Reporting of Vivo Experiments (ARRIVE) guidelines to improve reporting animal research. Despite considerable levels support from scientific community, impact on quality in research publications has been limited.
