Selected slides from this week
We are learning new and efficient approaches to reading science journal articles.
- Selected slides (six in Google presentation) on authorship conventions
- Entire research article slides here (19-16 focus on IMRAD)
For Friday, bring your article in the format you prefer. I want you to try to infer information about the authors from some of what we discussed.
Recall that we are not learning this information to prepare for a test; rather, we learn this to understand the complexity of knowledge construction in the sciences and how publications play a part. To this end, I place here optional reading on two unethical practices notes (both from NIH resources):
- "salami" publication (open access definition article with examples)
- simultaneous submission -> duplicate publication (open access article with tips)
This animation (2 1/2 minutes) highlights the discourtesy of salami slicing for readers: make them read two articles when one would do, as well as present the findings in a fuller light. Entage is a company that supports scientists in Asian countries prepare research for English language journals.

Honoring a request for full Authorship slide set. Note that this slide set was developed for a graduate seminar with some question slides. One aspect of slides as a genre is that you should ask yourself if the slides stand alone or if they require speaker audio or speaker presence to make full sense of the document.

Just for fun. I hear that part of the community-building in GroupMe concerns memes. Ok, here are a few about science publication. Also, does copyright apply to memes? Does the orginator matter or care? Think on that.
