Dreaming during scientific papers: effects of added extrinsic material.

Nutrient recycling by coastal sediments: effects of added algal material

The deposition of a Skeletonerna bloom onto sediment collected in a coastal bay was simulated and the effects on 02, N and P fluxes were recorded. A comparison of calculated net production and observed net efflux of inorganic nitrogen (IN = ammonium + nitrate) for the period prior to the addition of algae, indicated that two-thirds of the produced ammonium was nitrified and subsequently denitri...

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Effects on Image Memorability Supplemental Material

Reviewing scientific papers.

Guidelines for the preparation of structured reports for laboratory studies, clinical studies, epidemiological studies, and observations could be useful. A structured report should prompt reviewers to acknowledge familiarity or otherwise with method, background papers, and so on. New reviewers could draw up their own system. Reports should be helpful and courteous so that whether or not the pap...

Genealogical Trees of Scientific Papers

Many results have been obtained when studying scientific papers citations databases in a network perspective. Articles can be ranked according to their current in-degree and their future popularity or citation counts can even be predicted. The dynamical properties of such networks and the observation of the time evolution of their nodes started more recently. This work adopts an evolutionary pe...
