Google Scholar (GS), a commonly used web-based academic search engine, catalogues between 2 and 100 million records of both grey literature (articles not formally published by commercial publishers). collates results from across the internet is free to use. As result it has received considerable attention as method for searching literature, particularly in searches required systematic reviews. The reliance on GS standalone resource been greatly debated, however, its efficacy yet...
Abstract Review articles can provide valuable summaries of the ever‐increasing volume primary research in conservation biology. Where findings may influence important resource‐allocation decisions policy or practice, there is a need for high degree reliability when reviewing evidence. However, traditional literature reviews are susceptible to number biases during identification, selection, and synthesis included studies (e.g., publication bias, selection vote counting). Systematic reviews,...
Many online search facilities allow searching for academic literature. The majority are bibliographic databases that catalogue published research in an iterative, semi-automated manner, e.g. Web of Science Core Collections, which indexes articles selected journals. Other resources, such as Google Scholar, identify by using engines crawl the internet potentially relevant information. Often, systematic reviewers wish to document their searches transparency or later screening. Indeed, is a...
The volume of published academic research is growing rapidly and this new era "big literature" poses challenges to evidence synthesis, pushing traditional, manual methods synthesis their limits. New technology developments, including machine learning, are likely provide solutions the problem information overload allow scaling systematic maps large even vast literatures. In paper, we outline how lend themselves well automation computer-assistance. We believe that it a major priority...
This paper provides an overview of the Motueka integrated catchment management (ICM) research programme. was based on thesis that achieving ecosystem resilience at a scale requires active measures to develop community resilience. We define generic adaptive planning and action process, with associated knowledge stakeholder involvement processes, illustrate those processes observations from five themes: (1) water allocation; (2) land use effects water; (3) freshwater impacts coast; (4)...
Abstract The rights all people have for involvement in environmental decision making has long been established yet collaborative resource management had mixed success. Natural capital; the renewable and non‐renewable natural assets that benefit societies, flow of ecosystem services these provide, are increasingly promoted as approaches ensure consideration environment making. capital concepts can facilitate participation by explicitly describing role sustaining society. Increased promotion...
The offshore Multi-use Setting (MUS) is a concept that aims to co-locate marine industrial activities, including wind farms and aquaculture. MUS considered an innovative approach promoting efficiency in space resource use whilst contributing global policy priorities. However, the impacts of development across social, economic, environmental domains are uncertain, hindering commercialisation concept. In this study, we initially demonstrate potential consequences co-locating seaweed...
Natural capital plays a central role in urban functioning, reducing flooding, mitigating heat island effects, air pollution, and improving biodiversity through provision of habitat space. There is also evidence on the played by blue green space physical mental health, burden health care service. Yet from an planning development view, natural may be considered nice to have, but not essential element design; taking up valuable which could otherwise used for traditional built environment uses....
The creation and accumulation of robust bodies knowledge, along with their dissemination, utilisation integration in decision support are key to improving the use evidence decision-making. Systematic reviews (SRs), through emphasis on transparency, replicability rigour, offer numerous benefits throughout policy-making cycle for environmental policy-making. As a result there have been calls increase SRs This commentary paper introduces challenges engaging policy-makers and, using experiences...
Abstract. In countries globally there is intense political interest in fostering effective university–business collaborations, but has been scant attention devoted to exactly how an individual scientist's workload (i.e. specified tasks) and incentive structures assessment criteria) may act as a key barrier this. To investigate this original, empirical dataset derived from UK job specifications promotion criteria, which distil universities' varied drivers into requirements upon academics....
Abstract In 2015 the United Nations drafted Paris Agreement and established Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for all nations. A question of increasing relevance is extent to which pursuit climate action (SDG 13) interacts both positively negatively with other SDGs. We tackle this through a two-pronged approach: novel, automated keyword search identify linkages between SDGs UK climate-relevant policies; detailed expert survey evaluate these specific examples. consider particular subset...
