The future of scholarly communications
No full textThe academic publishing industry is set to celebrate 350 years of peer-reviewed scientific journals. However, there are significant shifts in the practice of scholarship, as scholars and citizens alike participate in an increasingly digital world. Is the scholarly article still fit for its purpose in this data-driven world, with new interdisciplinary methodologies and increasing automation? How might it be enhanced or replaced with new kinds of digital research objects , so as not to restrict innovation but rather create a flourishing sense-making network of humans and machines? The emerging paradigm of social machines provides a lens onto future developments in scholarship and scholarly collaboration, as we live and study in a hybrid physical-digital sociotechnical system of enormous and growing scale.Copyright 2014 David De Roure.

Review of 'Richard Linklater ' by David T. Johnson
No full textIn her 2006 summary of the history of debates on authorship in general and in cinema in particular, Pam Cook observes that ‘the function of the author/artist at one time limited to art cinema has extended to popular commercial cinema’ and moreover that: ‘Art cinema could provide a means of critical entry into commercial cinema, not in terms of the confirmation of traditional auteur analysis, but in the interests of understanding the relationship between art cinema and commercial cinema in order to question the conventional division between “art” and “entertainment”’ (1). By ‘traditional’ auteur analysis Cook means the kind of ahistorical approaches associated with the New Wave politique des auteurs, long since out of favour, that accorded to the film director a God-like status transcending industrial and other contextual circumscriptions. Instead, she emphasises the rise of the notion of the author as marketing category in contemporary scholarship. However, her comments about the usefulness of the art cinema author paradigm, most closely associated with the work of David Bordwell, for approaching more mainstream cinemas are acutely relevant to the films of Richard Linklater and to David T. Johnson’s unapologetically auteurist analysis of the
A Natural History of Botanical Therapeutics
No full textPlants have been used as a source of medicine throughout history and continue to serve as the basis for many pharmaceuticals used today. Although the modern pharmaceutical industry was born from botanical medicine, synthetic approaches to drug discovery have become standard. However, this modern approach has led to a decline in new drug development in recent years and a growing market for botanical therapeutics that are currently available as dietary supplements, drugs, or botanical drugs. Most botanical therapeutics are derived from medicinal plants that have been cultivated for increased yields of bioactive components. The phytochemical composition of many plants has changed over time, with domestication of agricultural crops resulting in the enhanced content of some bioactive compounds and diminished content of others. Plants continue to serve as a valuable source of therapeutic compounds because of their vast biosynthetic capacity. A primary advantage of botanicals is their complex composition consisting of collections of related compounds having multiple activities that interact for a greater total activity.Research supported by NIH Grant P50 AT002776-01 from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) which funds the Botanical Research Center; also supported by Fogarty International Center of the National Institutes of Health under U01 TW006674 for the International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups; and Rutgers University.NIH P50 AT002776-01; by William CefaluNIH U01 TW006674The published version of this article is available at: http://www.metabolismjournal.com
