This is the first of a series of interviews with people involved with our new Open Access journal, Experimental Results – a forum for short research papers from experimental disciplines across Science, Technology and Medicine, providing authors with an outlet for rapid publication of small chunks of research findings with maximum visibility.…
On behalf of the scientific and organising commitees of the 14th International Symposium of the Digestive Physiology of Pigs, we are delighted to introduce this Special Topic: Digestive Physiology of Pigs 2018 in animal.…
The latest Paper of the Month for Parasitology is Heterogeneity in helminth infections: factors influencing aggregation in a simple host–parasite system Parasitic worms are rarely distributed randomly or uniformly in populations of their hosts. Typically, parasites are unequally distributed with a majority of hosts infected by few or no parasites while a minority carry many parasites. This heterogeneity has wide-ranging implications: for instance, the small proportion of heavy infections are responsible for the major share of total parasite reproduction and these hosts suffer greatest pathology. By contrast, the majority of hosts with low worm burdens make little contribution to transmission and experience little harm. Thus, control strategies to reduce disease in human and animal populations are most effective when directed selectively at the subset of high worm burdens.…

We’re asking for your input on criteria for selecting data repositories — Where should I publish my research data? Sometimes there’s an obvious answer to this question.…
In Laudato Si’, Pope Francis writes that the poor and the environment are connected. The poor suffer physically from environmental degradation and cry out along with the earth, and those with power must heed their cry. An examination of the Appalachian region and its people reveals that each of these three themes needs some development

The open access 2019 issue of BJHS Themes addresses the ‘endings’ of scientific collections, telling stories of dispersal, destruction, absorption, re-purposing and repatriation.
The Aeronautical Journal is unusual in ‘covering all aspects of aerospace’. This is something of a rarity nowadays, with conferences and journals aiming to attract high-profile experts by maximising specialist content – more ‘bang for the buck’, as the expression goes.…
From diamonds to volcanic degassing to the deep biosphere and more, scientists within the Deep Carbon Observatory have covered a lot of ground since the initiative’s start 10 years ago.…
