We appreciate the efforts made by the authors, Journal Editors Group comprised of the selected lecturers at the First Mediterranean Seminar on Science Writing, Editing & Publishing (SWEP 2016). We agree with the...

As apex predators, sharks play an important role shaping their respective marine communities through predation and associated risk effects. Understanding the predatory dynamics of sharks within communities is, therefore, necessary to establish effective ecologically based conservation strategies. We employed non-lethal sampling methods to investigate the feeding ecology of bull sharks (Carcharh...

We studied the effects of marine protected areas (MPAs) on predatory interactions at a regional scale of 3 different islands across the geographical gradient of the Canary Islands. Protection measures positively affected predatory fish assemblages, enhancing the intensity of predatory interactions in comparison to equivalent unprotected areas (UAs), and causing indirect effects on populations o...

Myers and Worm claim that their analyses of catch rates following the commencement of industrial longline fishing for tuna and billfishes show that these longline fisheries rapidly depleted the abundance of these large oceanic predators by 90% (Myers RA, Worm B. Rapid worldwide depletion of predatory fish communities. Nature 2003;423:280–3). Their analyses were published in a high profile scien...

This study aims to integrate research results from several journals ascertain the impact of financial statement fraud (FFS) on pentagon. FFS is an intentional effort by company mislead users statements. Fraud pentagon explains five elements causing FFS. The population in this a journal which not included predatory for 2012-2022. There are 16 samples produced through purposive sampling. Secondar...

Lesions in ventromedial part of amygdala impaired neither alimentary instrumental reflexes nor food intake, but impaired predatory behavior. Lesions localized in the more dorsal and lateral part of the amygdala produced disorders in instrumental performance and food intake without changes in predatory attack. Both kind of lesions did not impair neurological reflexes, therefore the abolishment o...

Authorship problems are deep-rooted in the field of science communication. Some of these relate to lack of specific journal instructions. For decades, experts in journal editing and publishing have been exploring the authorship criteria and contributions deserving either co-authorship or acknowledgment. The issue of inconsistencies of listing and abbreviating author names has come to the fore l...

The expansion of the Internet and the increasing pressure to provide new scientific content to the public as quickly as possible have led to rapid changes in the publishing industry. Recently, new publishing models have arisen, such as open access (content available to readers at no charge), hybrid (some combination of print and online content delivery), and early online access to print journal...

Social dominance in predatory animals was tested before and after amygdala lesions. Cats after damage of dorsal part of amygdala did not show predatory behavior in group and lost their social rank in hierarchy, but in the same animals predatory attack remained unchanged in nonsocial situations. In the cat with medial amygdala lesions total abolishment of mouse-killing behavior was observed in b...

sir, the recent publication on “publication ethics” is very interesting (1). the article by fazly bazzaz and sadeghi demonstrated many interesting cases                   of misconducts. indeed, the misconducts can be seen  in many ways. as mentioned in the present publication, both author and editor can perform publication misconducts. nevertheless, the problem has many more facets. sometimes,...
