Mudar de nombre

En el presente texto se explica el próximo cambio de nombre de la Revista de Dialectología y Tradiciones Populares por el de Disparidades. Revista de Antropología, con el objetivo de adaptarse a la nueva política editorial y, fundamentalmente, a las transformaciones de la disciplina antropológica en las últimas décadas. Aunque el título original atesora un indudable capital científico, el Consejo de Redacción de la revista ha considerado que ha llegado el momento de sustituirlo por uno más actualizado.

Thank you to OPO's reviewers and editorial team

I would like to formally thank the Reviewers, Associate Editors, Editorial Board and Feature Issue Editors for their advice and guidance with regard to the manuscripts submitted for publication in Volume 38 of Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics. Apologies for any errors in placing reviewers into the regional categories used below, which was based on e-mail addresses or web searches. When developing this ‘thank you’ editorial I am always impressed by the very high quality of the international experts listed, especially given that reviewers are all very busy and successful researchers who review papers without any remuneration, asked to perform it within a short time period, and do all of this all on top of their normal day job! It highlights the remarkable dedication of researchers in our field. Given the huge time and effort that researchers take to provide some very high quality reviews, the editorial board agreed last year that we should specifically acknowledge reviews that are exceptional. This acknowledgement is given to only a few of the most knowledgeable and helpful reviews of the many manuscripts sent to OPO and approximately the top 5%. For 2018 Topical Editors indicated that the following researchers provided reviews that were exceptional: Associate editors take over the editorial process for papers that are in their area of expertise and for papers submitted by myself or any of my colleagues and/or collaborators. They also advise on invited reviews and feature issues. Members of the editorial board provide similar advice and also help to determine whether papers should be provided with a full review. Our current Associate Editors and Editorial board are listed on our website and on the inside cover of the hard copy of the journal. I thank them very much indeed for their support. I would particularly like to thank several members of the team who took over all editorial duties during my recent illness: Jeremy Guggenheim, Joanne Wood, Mark Bullimore, Arthur Bradley, John Lawrenson and David Whitaker from the Associate Editors and Editorial Board and Martin Cordiner and Brooke Sperry from the College of Optometrists research team. This support, well above and beyond the call of duty, was greatly appreciated. Finally, I would like to thank the feature issue editors for our special issue in 2018: Nicola Logan, Jeremy Guggenheim and Chi-ho To (May 2018 issue, Myopia: mechanisms, manifestations and management). David B Elliott Editor-in-Chief, Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics and Professor of Clinical Vision Science, Bradford School of Optometry & Vision Science, University of Bradford, UK.

An Interview With Bob Hinshelwood

In this interview by email, Bob Hinshelwood responds to a set of questions about the BJP from the current Editorial Board. The questions focus on the Journal's origins and development, and on the nature of its project. What was the gap, what was he trying to do? How long did it take to get a Journal into print? What questions did he try to answer? How were the politics of the early days? What were the highlights and lowlights in ownership of the Journal? Is he pleased to see the Clinical Commentaries return? How does he feel about the Journal's relationship with psychoanalysis? How would he like to be remembered? In his responses he emphasizes the personal nature of his recollections, rather than a setting down of historical fact.

Response

Writing as the current editor of the BJP, I respond to the research challenge Bob Hinshelwood has identified for the Journal. I explore the history of research publishing in the BJP, noting the evolution of the Journal's Aims and Scope statement, and the wide range of research methodologies and topics that have been represented. I trace the evolution of Hinshelwood's views on research, making use of Edward Said's work on late style in drawing a contrast between the views expressed in Hinshelwood's ‘Psychoanalytic research: Personal reflections’, and views expressed in earlier years.

Thomas Holme named editor in chief of the Journal of Chemical Education

Thomas Holme, a professor of chemistry at Iowa State University, has been named editor in chief of the Journal of Chemical Education. He will serve jointly with current editor in chief Norbert J. Pienta until January 2020, when the formal transition takes place. The Journal of Chemical Education is copublished by the ACS Division of Chemical Education and ACS Publications and focuses on the latest advances in the field of chemical education. “I am delighted to have the opportunity to foster the ability for the journal to serve as a home for descriptions of exciting new ways to help students learn chemistry,” Holme says. “The pace of educational innovation has never been more brisk, and the Journal of Chemical Education provides an amazing platform for educators to share and foster such innovation.” At Iowa State, Holme’s research is on the measurement and assessment of student learning in chemistry courses, assessment

Optimized base editors enable efficient editing in cells, organoids and mice.

CRISPR base editing enables the creation of targeted single-base conversions without generating double stranded breaks. However, the efficiency of current base editors is very low in many cell types. We re-engineered the sequences of BE3, BE4Gam, and xBE3 by codon optimization and incorporation of additional nuclear localization sequences. Our collection of optimized constitutive and inducible base-editing vector systems dramatically improves the efficiency by which single nucleotide variants can be created. The re-engineered base editors enable target modification in a wide range of mouse and human cell lines, and intestinal organoids. We also show that the optimized base editors mediate efficient in vivo somatic editing in the liver of adult mice.

Publishing screen media practice research: evolving processes of contextualisation, peer review and future proofing in Screenworks

ABSTRACTThis article outlines current publishing practices in the field of academic filmmaking through a detailed discussion of the development of Screenworks, a peer-reviewed online publication of practice research in screen media. The imperative for academics working in creative disciplines to publish and articulate their practice as research has increased in recent years, driven by research evaluation exercises such as the UK REF and Australian ERA. Screenworks has been at the forefront of defining the field of peer-reviewed publication of practice research. As editors of the journal, the authors draw upon their experience, alongside personal correspondence with contributors and academics working on other practice-based publications. The article examines how and why current editorial processes have developed and outlines the opportunities and challenges facing online publication of screen media practice research. The article offers several case studies which demonstrate the unique value of dialogic peer review for evolving practice researchers, helping them not only to contextualise their practice as research in the written statement, but also amending and editing the practice itself. The issue of sustainability is also explored, namely the distinct problem of indexing and archiving audiovisual practice research outputs that is essential to ensuring both their longevity and visibility.

EDITORIAL

The Editorial Committee of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and the current and former editors wish to express our deepest and most sincere condolences on the passing of Dr. Yoav Bashan, who was part of our journal's scientific committee until last september.

Where have all the countries of origin gone? A note on the neglect of firm nationality in family business studies

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present arguments for the inclusion of greater sampling detail in comparative studies of family business that includes country of origin/ownership.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is a commentary piece from a scholar focused on family business studies.FindingsThis commentary paper challenges several past family business studies and argues that mixing small family firms with foreign-owned family firms (subsidiaries of foreign companies) into one research sample of “family firms” can represent a significant source of bias. The authors assume that this bias is likely to be more pronounced in samples of privately-held family firms.Originality/valueWhile most of the author’sknowledge on family firms is based on analyses of publicly-held firms, current editors of scholarly journals call for more research on privately-held firms since they represent the vast majority of firms worldwide. The development of the knowledge about private family firms crucially depends on the reliability of results. This paper emphasizes the need for research samples of comparable firms and more comments on the sampling process.

In 1999, with the implementation of the Human Resource Management Programs of the National Petroleum Agency- ANP, Brazilian universities and research centers created opportunities for the development of science and technology in the field of oil, gas, and biofuels. This academic environment favored the creation of the Brazilian Association of Research and Development in Petroleum and Gas - ABPG, which started organizing a biannual Brazilian Conference to promote the research and development in oil and gas- PDPetro. In addition, there was a growing demand from researchers, requesting the elaboration of a National level technical/scientific Journal in the field. During the third PDPetro, held in 2007 in Campinas-SP, the ABPG announced the implementation of the Brazilian Journal of Petroleum and Gas- BJPG, the first scientific journal in Brazil to focus on the areas of oil, gas, and biofuels. The journal, published on the SEER platform– Electronic System of Journal Editing, simplified the process in terms of economics and ease of publication. This June 2018 edition celebrates 11 years of BJPG. The figures of this period are very positive: 15,247 registered viewers of BJPG; 581 peer reviewers; 434,706 downloads; and 198 published articles. Looking at the future, for the Journal to continue to grow and consolidate as an International Journal that is Nationally recognized for its quality and Innovation in research, we need a greater support from the community of researchers. The current editors, who started the magazine, feel gratified with the support of the entire community of researchers and reviewers who, during the period mentioned, demonstrated their readiness to cooperate with the Journal. Furthermore, we wish that such support continues with the next editors of the magazine enriching the research in the area of oil, gas, and biofuels. Prof. Afonso Avelino Dantas Neto Editor-in-Chief

"Palauamine and Olympiadane Nano Molecules Incorporation into the Nano Polymeric Matrix (NPM) by Immersion of the Nano Polymeric Modified Electrode (NPME) as Molecular Enzymes and Drug Targets for Human Cancer Cells, Tissues and Tumors Treatment under Synchrotron and Synchrocyclotron Radiations"

In the current editorial, we study Palau’amine and Olympiadane Nano molecules (Figures 1 & 2) incorporation into the Nano Polymeric Matrix (NPM) by immersion of the Nano Polymeric Modified Electrode (NPME) as molecular enzymes and drug targets for human cancer cells, tissues and tumors treatment under synchrotron and synchrocyclotron radiations. In this regard, the development of Chemical Modified Electrodes (CEMs) is at present an area of great interest. CEMs can be divided broadly into two main categories; namely, surface modified and bulk modified electrodes. Methods of surface modification include adsorption, covalent bonding, attachment of polymer Nano films, etc. Polymer Nano film coated electrodes can be differentiated from other modification methods such as adsorption and covalent bonding in that they usually involve multilayer as opposed to monolayer frequently encountered for the latter methods. The thicker Nano films imply more active sites which lead to larger analytical signals. This advantage coupled with other, their versatility and wide applicability, makes polymer Nano film modified electrodes particularly suitable for analytical applications [1–27].

LO12: Implementation of an editorial internship at the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine to foster education and participation in academic emergency medicine

Introduction: Medical journals are an essential venue for knowledge translation. Skilled reviewers and editors are required to ensure quality standards in research publications and yet postgraduate programs rarely include this training in their curricula. Imparting appropriate skills and developing capacity in journalship has thus proved challenging. The Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine (CJEM) is the national journal for Emergency Medicine (EM) in Canada. The CJEM editorial board recently decided to provide longitudinal mentorship for junior academic faculty members and trainees through an editorial internship. The internship had three goals for participants: (1) introduce and develop the responsibilities and skills of a good editor; (2) enhance a career in academic EM; and, (3) galvanize future participation as a reviewer or editor in scientific publications. Methods: The senior editorial board of CJEM and the inaugural intern developed a one-year Editorial Internship that was launched in June 2017. The curricular framework was designed by current and prior CJEM senior editors from four Canadian universities, and was informed by similar programs in the United States. The curriculum was refined iteratively based on feedback and discussion between the senior editors and intern. The internship was designed for a single individual in the Canadian EM community, including residents, pediatric fellows and practicing emergency physicians. Results: To develop the responsibilities and skills of being a good editor, the intern performed six mentored reviews of manuscripts either under current review at CJEM or previous submissions identified as difficult peer review decisions. In addition, the intern learned about CJEM values and norms by participating in monthly videoconference meetings and quarterly editorial board meetings. To enhance an academic career, the intern was assigned two writing projects under the guidance of senior editors for publication in CJEM, and completed an online critical appraisal course. Conclusion: The inaugural editorial intern gained experience as an editor and produced scholarly work. We feel the internship met its first two goals, and CJEM has committed to continue the internship annually. The ultimate determination of whether the internship achieved its third goal will only be known after longitudinal tracking of participants career involvement in academic publishing and editing.
