运用数据库定量分析遴选英文科技期刊编委

编委会对科技期刊的发展起着至关重要的作用。组建一支优质而高效的编委会队伍可以为打造优秀科技期刊奠定坚实的基础。本文以《仿生工程学报》编委会换届筹备为例,借鉴国外同领域竞争期刊的编委会构成特点,探讨适合我国英文科技期刊的编委遴选的新方法。实践表明,灵活运用Web of Science、Scopus等网络文献数据库,不仅可以对备选编委的学术影响力、学术活跃度等进行定量评估,还可以挖掘有潜力的新编委。备选编委定量评价体系的建立能够为编委会换届改选提供重要的理论依据。     

Spatial Discovery of Linked Research Datasets and Documents at a Spatially Enabled Research Library

Current publishing practices in academia tend to result in datasets that are difficult to discover. This is because datasets are not well-integrated across academic domains and they are often not linked to the documents that reference them. For these reasons, discovering datasets across domains can be challenging; for example, discovering archeological observations and biological specimens using the same search is not widely supported, even if both datasets share a similar spatial extent, like Mesoamerica. It is also challenging to retrieve relevant documents that reference datasets; for example, retrieving a series of field reports that reference archeological observations is typically not supported. Our work develops an extensible method for: (1) geographically integrating collections across disciplinary repositories and (2) connecting datasets to related documents. We describe a collection of spatially-referenced researcher datasets, capturing their metadata elements and encoding them as linked open data. We then leverage existing library services to formalize links from datasets to documents. The system described in this work has been deployed, resulting in an experimental open data site for the UCSB campus. Results indicate that this system can be scaled-up with support from an institutional repository in the near future.

Guiding Low Spatial Ability Individuals through Visual Cueing: The Dual Importance of Where and When to Look

Research suggests that spatial ability may predict success in complex disciplines including anatomy, where mastery requires a firm understanding of the intricate relationships occurring along the course of veins, arteries, and nerves, as they traverse through and around bones, muscles, and organs. Debate exists on the malleability of spatial ability, and some suggest that spatial ability can be enhanced through training. It is hypothesized that spatial ability can be trained in low-performing individuals through visual guidance. To address this, training was completed through a visual guidance protocol. This protocol was based on eye-movement patterns of high-performing individuals, collected via eye-tracking as they completed an Electronic Mental Rotations Test (EMRT). The effects of guidance were evaluated using 33 individuals with low mental rotation ability, in a counterbalanced crossover design. Individuals were placed in one of two treatment groups (late or early guidance) and completed both a guided, and an unguided EMRT. A third group (no guidance/control) completed two unguided EMRTs. All groups demonstrated an increase in EMRT scores on their second test (P < 0.001); however, an interaction was observed between treatment and test iteration (P = 0.024). The effect of guidance on scores was contingent on when the guidance was applied. When guidance was applied early, scores were significantly greater than expected (P = 0.028). These findings suggest that by guiding individuals with low mental rotation ability “where” to look early in training, better search approaches may be adopted, yielding improvements in spatial reasoning scores. It is proposed that visual guidance may be applied in spatial fields, such as STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine), surgery, and anatomy to improve student's interpretation of visual content.

Libraries and Spatial Literacy: Toward Next-Generation Education

The role of the library is to assist citizens in skills development critical to national interest and empowerment as literacy ambassadors, in general. Specifically, the work by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (1994) indicates that spatial literacy is for every citizen and not just a set of workforce specialists. Hence, the use of maps in decision making and problem solving will become fundamental to all professions, including library professionals. Thus, a spatial literacy awareness and rationale for such as standard job ability is discussed as a future librarian workforce proficiency and knowledge transfer medium.     

国际背景下的我国初中化学课程的发展

从国际影响的视角看,可将我国初中化学课程在1978年到2001年间的变化划分为四个阶段。在每一个阶段,初中化学课程都受到国际的影响,在不同阶段所影响的内容与程度是不同的,当国际趋势符合国内的教育(课程)政策时,它便能较大幅度地影响化学课程,反之则弱。

西方消费主义对我国青少年的影响及其对策研究

消费主义，作为一种二战后在资本主义社会生成发展并向世界广泛扩散以享乐至上为核心的社会思潮，由于其满足人的最基本的消费欲求和心理需要而获得了世界的广泛认同，本文着重研究消费主义对处于转型期时代背景下的青少年的影响，寻求抵制消费主义影响侵蚀的途径。
