Beyond the impact factor?
Over the past few years, increasing efforts have been made to evaluate research output using different markers of quality. This is most clearly reflected by the work of the Research Exercise Framework, a huge undertaking that was completed in 2014 and ranked subject areas in all UK universities according to the societal impact of research and the environment in which it was conducted, alongside...
متن کاملPaternal Sperm Telomere Elongation and Its Impact on Offspring Fitness
Telomeres are structures at the ends of DNA strands that get longer in the DNA of sperm [2] cells as males age. That phenomenon is different for most other types of cells, for which telomeres get shorter as organisms age. In 1992, scientists showed that telomere [3] length (TL) in sperm [2] increases with age in contrast to most cell of most other types. Telomeres are the protective caps at the...

متن کاملAssessing the value of a journal beyond the impact factor
The well-documented limitations of journal impact factor rankings and perceptual ratings, the evolving scholarly communication system, the open access movement, and increasing globalization are some reasons that prompted an examination of journal value rather than just impact. Using a single specialized journal established in 1960, about education for the Information professions, this paper dis...
متن کاملThe paternal sperm epigenome: implications for development and disease
Despite the father transmitting half the heritable information to the embryo the focus on preconception health has largely been on the mother. New studies highlight the role of the father in disease transmission via non-genetic inheritance, through epigenetic mechanisms. Epigenetic mechanisms include, DNA methylation, post-translational modifications of histones and noncoding RNAs. Paternal eff...
