"Scientists and resource managers struggling to deal with rapidly changing environments and evolving threats need quick access to relevant research and descriptions of natural systems. The ability to find out what is known about a specific ecosystem, species or landscape is hindered by current search technologies that rely on keyword, topic, text, and author searching – concepts of publication cataloging and searching that date back to the late 1800's. Much of the published research conducted on ecosystems around the world is tied to specific places, and these locations can be exploited to search for literature based on geography in addition to traditional searching".

Interestingly, they have a collections tool that can be used to organize and group geotagged articles. As they say, "a great way to visualize the geographic extent of knowledge on a topic or capture the known scientific knowledge of a place". For example, there's a collection on measuring Soil Erosion, one on Coos Bay (interesting to focus on a very specific location) and some curated by the author to gather together their own work etc.

All in all, we think this is a great initiative, well worth checking out!

KNOWLEDGE ENGINES use built-in knowledge curated by human experts to compute on the fly a specific answer and analysis for every query.

If ever a site had a lofty long-term goal this would be it:

"To make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone.

We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything".

They have my attention, off to check it out now!

Shout out to co-workers Kaia and Raza for a job well done.

The solution to this modern paradox lies in developing technologies to extract meaning from all this information. But new technologies are not sufficient; researchers must also know which technologies and methods are best equipped to address the important questions for their area of study. There simply aren’t enough academic researchers who are capable of harnessing their data deluge".

The author, Vicki Chandler, the chief program officer in science at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation explains the need to cultivate a new type of data-driven researcher and the announcement in October 2014 of 14 recipients of the Moore Investigator in Data-Driven Discovery Awards in pursuit of that goal.

Here are the criteria for qualifying for the "Seal":

"Journals that adhere to an exceptionally high level of publishing standards and best practice are awarded the Seal as recognition of those efforts. The Seal is awarded to a journal that fulfills a set of criteria related to accessibility, openness, discoverability, reuse and author rights. It acts as a signal to readers and authors that the journal has generous use and reuse terms, author rights and adheres to the highest level of ‘openness’. The Seal has nothing to do with the scholarly quality of the material published in the journal".

Happy reading and have a great weekend.

A few interesting statements from John included:

- "Many researchers rarely ‘read’ entire journals anymore; even the concept of ‘read a journal’ tends to mean ‘read the email TOC’! I expect that this contributes to the increasing revenue that publishers can gain through article rental services such as ours.

- "One researcher said to us: ‘Because of keyword search, I only find what I’m looking for". Lucky them! We've not had this experience but the fact that some people think this is the case is somewhat worrying!

- "Most researchers come to journal sites with a ‘grab and go’ mentality (grab a pdf and get out of the site). As an information provider, how do you break that pattern of behaviour as readers are seeking research articles? How do you get readers to turn the page of the encyclopaedia, so to speak?". Tricky indeed, I guess it all comes down to storytelling and engagement.
